Chapter 79 The weasel pays New Year greetings to the chicken, what's in his mind?(1/2)
When Si Chen went to the shoe stall closest to him, the stall owner was dealing with customers' bargaining.
The customer was none other than the aunt who wanted to buy Sichen's high-priced sandals at a low price.
Now, she has taken a liking to the sandals on this stall.
Auntie: "It's cheaper. Your price is indeed too expensive."
The stall owner: "This price is really not expensive, big girl!"
When the aunt saw Si Chen approaching, her eyes lit up, she pointed at him and said:
"This is the boss. His shoes are cheaper than yours."
The stall owner himself was holding back his anger. He didn't open the stall all morning. In the afternoon, Si Chen sold out and finally it was his turn.
As a result, the price has been ruined, so how can it be sold?
The temperament of northerners is somewhat straightforward.
Even if a seemingly friendly person gets angry and doesn't shake his fist at you, he still doesn't dare to punch you in the face?
The stall owner was so angry that he replied directly: "I don't have that price here, you can go and have a look elsewhere!"
After saying that, he squatted next to the stall and tidied his shoes.
The aunt was unhappy, put down her shoes, turned and left.
Si Chen took out his cigarette case, took a step forward, squatted down, handed one over, and said hello:
"Uncle, are you busy?"
The uncle didn't want to pay attention to him, so he moved to the side and said from his nose: "Humph~"
Si Chen wasn't angry either. After all, he was the one who provoked the person.
Before coming today, he had already deduced everything that would happen.
Si Chen followed the uncle closely, moved to the side, caught up and continued to smoke, saying:
"Uncle, have a cigarette and take a rest."
As soon as these words came out, the uncle suddenly turned his head, his thick eyebrows stood upright, his eyes widened on his dark face, and he said angrily:
"Get up and drive! Go and rest somewhere cool!"
"It's quite cool here, and it's shaded." Si Chen was thick-skinned, grinning with his teeth bared, nonchalantly.
The sun was setting toward the west at the moment, and the uncle's stall was just in the shadow. Well, it was quite shady.
The uncle laughed angrily, moved to the side again, and cursed:
"A person has a face, and a tree has a bark!"
Si Chen:......-_-||
"Hey, uncle is right, the boy learned a lesson today."
When dealing with elders, bowing your head and admitting your mistakes, especially following his wishes, with a low attitude of "you are right," will generally yield good results.
Although the uncle couldn't wipe it off his face, the anger in his heart had eased somewhat.
However, he still didn't take Si Chen's cigarette, looked at him sideways and said:
"You came over so shamelessly, what kind of evil idea did you have?"
Si Chen immediately caught this sensitive change in attitude and became even more attentive. He put the cigarette directly into the person's hand, took out his lighter and said:
"Uncle, how can it be like this? Come on, come on, let's have a cigarette first." Calm down!
The uncle looked at the expensive Ashima in his hand, and then at the lighter with jumping flames in Si Chen's hand. He held it back and said with a sullen face:
"The weasel is sending New Year greetings to the rooster. Honestly, what's the point of it?"
"No bad intentions, really!" Si Chen almost forced someone to light a cigarette.
The uncle's face was filled with "This is because you forced me to smoke, not because I wanted to smoke your Ashima".
After blowing out a puff of smoke, the uncle lost his temper and lectured:
"Young man, if uncle Gui didn't tell you, you wouldn't be doing this business!"
"Who can easily do it by setting up stalls in towns and villages to earn some money to support the family?"
"You're new here, and you're selling it at the lowest price. How can you sell the goods if you ask us?"
"You should at least say hello to us in advance. Everyone's selling price is the same, and there is a range for price reductions."
"You have never set up a stall, so you don't know the depth of the water here."
"Usually, the five of us who sell shoes have negotiated in advance and the selling prices are about the same."
"In this way, no one will take away someone's business or make it difficult for someone to do it."
"It's better for you. It's the lowest price. If you're not hated by others, who will be? You're a coward!"
Si Chen always had a good attitude and kept nodding in agreement.
When he reached this sentence, he quickly took advantage of the opportunity and said:
"Uncle Gui, this is not the reserve price, this is the selling price."
Uncle Gui choked, turned around suddenly, glared, and said, "What?"
"My purchase price is cheaper." Si Chen threw out the hook at the right time and said:
"I have added enough profit to sell it like this. Even if I drop 50 cents per pair of shoes, I will still make a profit."
"Cough cough cough!" Uncle Gui was choked and couldn't believe it!
Si Chen quickly patted the other person's back, feeling relieved, and continued:
"I'm not lying to you, really!"
Only then did Uncle Gui realize that something was unusual, and he said doubtfully:
"Are you related to Sancai?" Otherwise, she wouldn't give you the purchase price.
Si Chen was well prepared and said, "Are you talking about Sun Sancai on the second floor of the department store?"
These vendors got their goods from Sun Sancai, and Si Chen found out everything from Sili Ge.
Si Chen even knew the tempers of these five stall owners.
Among the five people, this noble uncle is the leader.
Therefore, Si Chen took aim at the opportunity and started with Uncle Gui first.
It is much easier to deal with Uncle Gui and let him persuade the other four than Sichen to come to his door one by one and beg his grandfather and grandma to let them become his distributors.
As the saying goes, to capture the thief first capture the king, and to shoot the man first shoot the horse.
"Well, it's her." Uncle Gui flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said:
"You buy from Sancai, can she give you such a cheap price?"
When he said this, his face looked very ugly.
Si Chen understood that this was because the prices Sun Sancai usually gave the five of them were different.
In fact, no one knows exactly who and how many.
Business opponents are like this. They have a competitive relationship, but they also have an interest relationship in jointly maintaining the same market order.
Just like wolves in a pack of wolves and lions in a pride of lions, they hunt together and watch and help each other. It is different who eats more and eats less, who eats first and then eats later.
"Uncle Gui, I don't get the goods from her, I get the goods directly from Xintian Market." Si Chen dropped a bombshell.
"What?!" Uncle Gui stood up in shock.
But because I had been squatting for a long time, my legs were a little numb and I staggered. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
Si Chen quickly stood up, supported the person and said:
"According to the regulations of the county commerce bureau, private individuals setting up stalls in township markets must purchase goods from government-run department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives."
"Nowadays, both department stores and many supply and marketing cooperatives have begun to be contracted by private parties."
"But in the final analysis, this is not private, it is public."
"For those of us who run stalls, if we want to earn a small amount of money to support our families, we still have to buy goods from them."
"The Bureau of Commerce stipulates this, on the one hand, to prevent disruption to the market, and on the other hand, to control the market well."
"Uncle Gui, am I right?"
Uncle Gui could only nod his head. Who said that the economy has not been completely liberalized these days?
Moreover, the rules will be repeated from time to time.
Today we let private individuals do it, but in two days they won't let it go. In a few more days they will be severely punished, and they may even be caught in the trap of speculation!
In his heart, Uncle Gui is no longer a rookie in his understanding of Si Chen.
I was confused, this guy has some background!
