Chapter 254 The tacit understanding between the bosses
There is an old saying in Levi's hometown, which is called "birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together", and this sentence can also be applied to most of the world.
Xia Lan and Kelben are both veterans who have experienced the ups and downs of the shopping mall.
Even if they don't fully understand Li Wei's overall layout in Jishui City, there is still no problem in understanding Li Wei's current operations and cooperating with them.
After all, they are now considered a community of interests, harvesting the wool of all the gray forces and other lords and nobles in the entire Jishui City.
Not only was the harvesting done, but the gray lambs that were working hard to hoard their wool were also going to be slaughtered and then swept out.
The intentions are not sinister.
To achieve this goal, they must really believe that Hogg's Workshop is teaming up with the Xialan Chamber of Commerce to suppress Lord Kelburn's Black Staff Chamber of Commerce.
Only in this way will they believe that Hoge Workshop and Xialan Chamber of Commerce will carry out the current 'loss-making' sales at all costs.
The more they buy, the more Hogg's Workshop and Sharan Chamber of Commerce will lose!
In fact, it is not difficult to do this, and Levi does not even need to specifically instruct it.
After he, Xia Lan and Kelben reached a preliminary three-party agreement, Xia Lan naturally got into her luxurious carriage and returned to her proud house with a face full of joy.
Kelben walked out of Hogg's workshop with a serious look on his face.
When the news was released to the outside world, the news that the negotiations between the 'two parties' had broken down was instantly confirmed.
As a result, the membership application form, which had already reached the 30 copper coin mark, soared to 40. To a certain extent, even if you exchange it for snow boots, you are already losing money.
But what they were focusing on now was no longer just gifts.
Now that the situation has been settled, I used the membership price to buy all kinds of products from Hoge Workshop!
At first, people were a little worried about whether the news was accurate, so those who went on a shopping spree were only middle-class families in Jishui City who had some spare money.
As a result, it didn’t take long for Xia Lanwei Luosi to do two things: collect loans from all the nobles who owed her money!
For this reason, I am willing to discount some interest.
Another thing is equally simple and crude. She is selling some properties that are usually scarce at a 10% discount!
So the nobles read a message. In order to completely suppress Kelben, the hostess behind the Sharan Chamber of Commerce began to withdraw funds and inject capital into Hogg's workshop!
It is worth mentioning that not only the nobles were unwilling to accept such generous conditions, but they were also evading in every possible way the issue of early repayment of loans.
And for this property that was sold at a 10% discount, no one took it over?
Are you kidding me? At this stage, almost anyone with any brain knows what the most profitable thing is.
That is to collect all your cash flow! Go and buy the membership application form of Hoge Workshop and stock up on their products at preferential prices.
As long as they wait until the spring of next year, when merchants from the Western Land trenches gather together, they will make a lot of money.
At this time, only if your brain is kicked by a donkey will you pay back the money! Then you will buy some damn real estate!
So Xia Lanwei Luosi completed her performance without spending a single copper coin, relying only on two short pieces of news.
Today, the entire Jishui City is like the most absurd yet extremely eye-catching stage play.
The Xialan Chamber of Commerce had just held its breath, but they didn't know that Kelben was also a ruthless person. As soon as he returned to his Lord Orosan's mansion, an inside story that detonated the entire aristocratic circle in Jishui City spread first.
All products of the Black Staff Chamber of Commerce that are similar to those of Hogg's Workshop are on sale at reduced prices!
Cheaper than Hogg's workshop
A brass thumb!
This made many people curl their lips and secretly said that they are really stingy.
But that doesn't stop them from being really delicious.
Because they know that the Black Stick Chamber of Commerce has always adhered to a high-turnover operating model, so the inventory in their store does not have too much.
If you want to make a big purchase, you have to go back to the Hogg Chamber of Commerce in the end.
So Kelborne's rank is not bad at all.
After this dear city lord did this, he also did something that left Li Wei speechless.
He asked someone to send him a bill and complained to Li Wei
In order to cooperate with his "Happy Shopping Plan", how much money did he lose this time?
And the nobles in the city couldn't hold it any longer, and asked their agents to hire people to stock up on goods at Hogg's workshop.
In Jishui City, the first symbolic price war in the entire Corel Continent began.
Although there was no substantive competition, and even one party pushed the other party to the ground and beat the other party unilaterally, this incident will probably appear in the socioeconomics textbooks of Zeelandia students, and they will be reminded by their instructors that this incident
Focus on the key points and examine them again
In the evening, just like the joke made by the nobles in the city, the crowds queuing up on Third Avenue in the Trade District went directly from the door of Hogg's workshop to the dock area.
What is even more unexpected is that in Sunset Sword Coast, after Hogg's workshop announced that it would not open its doors until eight o'clock tomorrow morning for proofing, after the unwilling people dispersed, some people started to spontaneously put on a quilt or
It's Fur that's manning the gates of Hog Mine.
Such a crazy and persistent level really shocked the eyes of many nobles in Jishui City.
You must know that it is already close to winter! The streets of Jishui City at night are not so pleasant.
After trying to drive away the employees of Hogg Mining to no avail, Fischer, under Levi's instruction, erected a temporary wind protection circle on Third Street.
Although this is not their obligation, if someone really froze to death in front of the workshop, it would not sound good if the news spread.
Sure enough, as soon as this move came out, Hogg's workshop's reputation for wealth and kindness once again exploded the "gossip circle" in Jishui City.
As a result, there were even more people lining up on Third Street.
After several days of this, Jishui City spontaneously formed two 'parties' that transcended this era for the first time, namely:
‘Scalpers’ selling ‘memberships’ at high prices everywhere!
And the ‘purchasing party’ who helps people line up to deliver goods!
When Levi, who was in the shop, heard the news, he immediately spit out a mouthful of strong tea and deeply lamented that the people in Corell's world were evolving too fast.
But this is not surprising.
After all, this world is not like Blue Star, and the history of civilization where human-like intelligence can be tested is only about five thousand years.
But the continent of Coriel is the lizard civilization that has experienced the Dawn Era, not counting the dragons and titans (the dog's brain is broken, but the continent's civilization has regressed greatly), the first prosperous era of elves and human civilization.
The peak of the Netherese era.
Therefore, even if civilization regresses, there will always be some more 'advanced' ideas passed down, but they cannot be realized due to relatively scarce material conditions.
It has to be said that the tacit understanding between these three business tycoons during their time in Jishui City gave the entire Corel Continent an extremely unfriendly start to the business environment.
It even directly affected the financial system of later generations.
A few years later, those ‘monster stocks’ that made countless capital vomit blood,
Chapter completed!
