Chapter 55 The smell of copper(1/2)

It was a little hot around the table, and the three shopkeepers wiped the sweat from their heads.

But I heard Tang Qianqian say again: "We can't sell high-quality charcoal fires, but we can sell this iron stove, which can have any exquisite design. I can sell such an iron stove for five taels of silver or ten taels of silver each, no matter how beautiful it is."

Some of them sell for 20 taels or 30 taels, and the briquettes inside are one size smaller than those in the world. One size of coal matches one size of stove. This is called a high-quality special product, but it is more expensive."

"In recent years, the forests outside Beijing have been cut down to pieces. I'm afraid it's harder to find wood like red rosewood? The cost of burning charcoal will only get higher and higher, but coal is different. My husband said

, he pointed with his hand, and there must be black soil under his fingertips..."

Lu Fangzhi stood up suddenly and said: "Boss Tang, you..."

Why didn't you just invite me, the Lu family, to talk, but why did you invite these two old guys, the He family and the Wen family, for what?

Wen Youshu and He Cheng also looked at each other, feeling moved.

Tang Qianqian smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Lu, please take a seat. My husband and I are just new to this business. We are new to the industry, so naturally we have to visit the dock..."

"Okay! Great!"

Suddenly a burst of thunderous cheers came from downstairs, interrupting everyone's conversation.

Tang Qianqian turned her head and looked downstairs.

The doors to the shops on the left and right of Jiaotan Coal Shop have been opened.

On both sides are large shops of 700 square meters that are connected to the courtyard, and they are filled with briquettes.

"There will still be price concessions today..."

There was another burst of cheers.

The three shopkeepers upstairs were all moved, thinking that this little girl was so capable that she even prepared two stores of goods.

Tang Qianqian's eyes glanced across the crowd, and suddenly she saw a young man with a fine cloth wrapped around his head. Her eyes lit up, and joy filled her face.

You actually came here in person? Look, you can still escape my grasp...

Wang Xiao was wearing a black arrow-sleeved suit today, so Tang Qianqian didn't recognize him just now. At this time, he and Tang Bowang walked out together, and Tang Qianqian frowned when she saw that he was injured on his head.

After a while, I saw a man and a woman running out of the crowd, also wearing arrow-sleeved clothes. The three of them looked very similar.

The girl reached out and touched Wang Xiao's clothes, and even reached out to touch Wang Xiao's head, then cursed loudly at the crowd.

It was very noisy outside, Tang Qianqian could only vaguely hear what she was scolding seemed to be...Mother Xipi, who can beat him?!

A girl from outside the customs actually learned the curse words in Wuzhong. Really, thinking like this in her knowledgeable heart, Tang Qianqian felt a little inexplicably unhappy.

There was still a lot of noise in front of the Xiaotan Coal Shop.

Tang Bowang stood on a table and pressed his hands slightly before the crowd gradually quieted down.

But I heard Tang Bowang speak loudly: "Do you guys know why someone came to our shop to make trouble today? It's because our briquettes are much cheaper than their charcoal fires, but they burn better and burn more vigorously!

So they were anxious, and the boss named Zheng just said that he would buy all the briquettes and sell them at twice, or even three or four times the price, so that everyone could make a fortune together."

The muttering sounded again.

Someone shouted: "How can this be? It's hard to find cheap charcoal fire..."

"Shopkeeper Tang, you must not agree..."

Tang Bowang waved his hand and shouted: "But I don't agree. I said it won't go up even by a penny. Not only will it not go up now, but it won't go up all winter. The price will still be the same next winter and the day after tomorrow..."

"good!"

"Very good!"

Cheers roared.

Tang Qianqian upstairs took a sip of tea.

The three old shopkeepers in the room stood up and stood by the window and looked seriously.

"Originally, I have the final say. If I go by what he said, I can still earn 20% more profit for my boss..." When Tang Bowang said this, the crowd became silent again.

"But my boss said that even if we are squeezed out by our peers in the city, we can't raise the price! Today we have doubled the price, which may mean that a meal costs less than a penny for everyone. It doesn't seem like much. But when the cold winter comes

, the penny that one briquette costs, may be a human life! Over the past few years, the capital has been experiencing heavy snowfall every year. Last year, the snow accumulation was probably as high as half a person. Some people may have forgotten the scene of freezing and covering the ground, but I have not forgotten it.

, my proprietor has not forgotten it! It was precisely because he saw such a scene that he racked his brains and invented this briquette..."

Many people who were watching originally came to watch the fun, but at this time, they suddenly realized that this was not a fun.

They discovered that this matter was actually deeply related to themselves.

But Tang Bowang said again: "What we do is not to make a lot of money, but to wait until the cold winter comes, heavy snow seals the mountains, and the poor can't even cut firewood, so that more people can afford coal and burn more."

We started a fire, got warmth, and cooked rice! Winter is approaching, and I promise on behalf of my boss that as long as our Jiaotan Coal Store is open for one day, the price of briquettes will not increase by a cent! We are determined to make this capital city

In this world, there will never be that kind of "frozen bones on the road" scene again! My proprietor talked about how much money he had and laughed at it. He is willing to warm the people of the world with his blood..."

"good!"

"well said!"

Someone shouted.

Some people shed tears.

Wang Xiao felt extremely ashamed, sniffed, and was a little lost.

That day, Ying'er said on the carriage that she was buried deep in the snow, so he thought of briquettes.

But it is definitely not as compassionate as Tang Bowang said...

Tang Bowang pressed his hands again and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Today, we are going to do an event. Each person will receive two briquettes for free. It's free!"

"good!"

"A great kind man..."

Another burst of cheers!

"Please line up and come and get it one by one..."

Amid the shouts and cries, Wang Xiao lowered his head in shame.

Although he mentioned the whole process of the event to Tang Qianqian, he did not have the thick skin to accept the words "Money is a joke, but I am willing to warm the world with my blood."

Even if it is just a casual try, in his definition, doing business is to make money.

Even if you don’t want to make a lot of money, it’s still a good idea to buy a house for your son to live in.

So when he was able to earn three thousand taels at the beginning, he was shocked and felt... business in this era is too profitable.

So a price of one penny was set.

But three thousand taels of silver can collect all the cinders in Beijing, which shows how low the cost is. The price of briquettes is one penny, which is obviously more than three times the profit.

When I was a Taobao seller, 20% of the profits were from extremely impressive categories.

Those people from the coal mine actually wanted to make trouble because they thought the price was too low.

How much do you need to earn before it’s too much?

That night Wang Xiao and Tang Qianqian talked a lot, and there were a lot of things that were very scattered, such as concepts such as 'holding an event', 'spreading the word', 'grabbing market share at a low price', 'promoting a corporate image that cares for the people', etc.

, some he explained seriously, and some he just mentioned casually.

But I didn't expect that Tang Qianqian seemed to be careless, but he wrote down everything.

This woman really has extremely high execution ability.

Wang Xiao lowered his head, suddenly feeling a little confused.

All in all, Tang Qianqian is a liar. I originally expected that her price would increase by another three to five points on a penny, and I was mentally prepared, thinking that she would eat up ten to two cents of her profit.

Ten points...

But looking at today's situation, not only did she not eat her own profits, she actually put money into it herself.

What are you looking for? You can’t be greedy for your own body.

Wang Xiao suddenly felt that he was no match for this woman, and it would be very dangerous to play with her again... But the business started unexpectedly, and he couldn't let it go now.

He could only laugh at himself and start thinking about happy things again.

For example: I made money.

I really like the smell of copper.

But I heard Qin Xiaozhu say: "The owner of this store is so damn stupid, I'm afraid I'll have to pay a lot of money..."

Wang Xiao had a dark look on his face.

"...But it's worth making friends with!" Qin Xiaozhu said.

After she finished speaking, she patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Really? Tiger."

Wang Xiao could only nod helplessly.

"Hey, Xiao Chaihe, look the hell over here. Do you see? The three of us are in the same group." Qin Xiaozhu put his arms around Wang Xiao's shoulders and shouted.

Xiao Chaihe turned his head and glanced, too lazy to pay attention to Qin Xiaozhu.
