Chen Yangmei finally figured out the whole story of this incident from the driver named Sang. The matter has to start from the beginning. Wang Niu's father Wang Ping is the largest stone farm owner in Qingshan Town. Wang Ping is a very business-minded person. He is the first person in Qingshan Town to make a fortune by relying on the stone farm. He has a lot of stone mountain resources in his hands. He is rich and is called Wang Baiwan by the people in Qingshan Town.
In the years when I first started the stone business, because there were relatively few stone yards at that time, the business was indeed quite popular. The price of these stone yard owners had the final say. So, but it was a huge profit, which made the first batch of people like Wang Ping who were trying to make a fortune.
However, as Wang Ping and a group of people became rich by relying on the stone yard, more and more people focused on this. There was no technical barrier to getting stones from the mountains. As long as you have money, there were stone mountains everywhere. If you buy a batch of equipment and pull a group of people, you can do it. Therefore, the stone yards in Qingshan Town emerged one by one like bamboo shoots after a rain. However, the stone market around Quyang City was so big that this market soon reached saturation. Many stone yards could not be sold. In order to open up sales, everyone sold their own stones. In addition to reducing prices, there was no other good way to reduce prices in the poor competitive consciousness of these farmers.
In this way, the price of your house is low, and the price of my house can only be lower. People who pull stones are not fools, so they naturally know that they compare the prices of the shops. Anyway, the quality of the stones in their hands is similar, so whoever has a low price will naturally attract more customers. In the long run, vicious competition has gradually formed, and everyone has found that the price of stones is getting cheaper and less money, and many small stone factories have reached the point where they can't continue to operate.
Although these stone factory owners don’t know much about the economy, they also know that this is not a solution for the long term. They can’t continue to struggle like this. Otherwise, if everyone is spending so much, they will only be cheaper for those merchants who come to pull stones.
In the end, Wang Ping, the most powerful stone farm owner in Qingshan Town, thought of a solution. He gathered all the owners of stone factories of all sizes in the town and proposed to establish a price alliance. All stone factories must be unified in prices and cannot maliciously lower prices to win over customers. If anyone is found to engage in vicious competition, they will be suppressed by all stone owners.
Everyone also felt that Wang Ping's proposal was out of public interest. After consideration, they nodded and agreed to Wang Ping's proposal. Finally, under Wang Ping's proposal, everyone also learned to sign a contract on TV as if they were good.
But gradually everyone realized that it was not the same thing at all. The development of things was completely different from what they thought. It seemed that they had been fooled by Wang Ping.
Wang Ping's proposal sounded fair, but soon some small stone owners discovered that without the price advantage, they would not be able to attract customers at all. If there were some merchants who had come to them to choose stones with the advantage of price, now with the unification of the price of stones, they found that they had no advantage at all. The location and convenient transportation conditions were all operated by Wang Ping and several larger stone manufacturers. In the past, relying on the advantage of low prices, there were still merchants who would rather go to their stone yards to pull stones. But now, the prices are the same anyway, who would run into the mountains after being full and running.
After everyone woke up, they found out that they had been deceived by Wang Ping. However, everyone signed Wang Ping's agreement in black and white. When they went to Wang Ping to argue, Wang Ping took out the agreement and told these people that if you lowered the price privately, even if you violated the contract, you would be punished by law. In the hearts of these stone farm bosses with low knowledge, they would not know that such an agreement was not protected by law at all.
Of course, there were also stone farm owners who regarded Wang Ping's words as a warning to him. They turned around and lowered the price of stone. However, before the legal sanctions had arrived, the stone farm owners who had privately reduced the price were detained by the police station representing the "Qingshan Town Law". It was not until the detained stone farm owner's family came to Wang Ping with tears and swearing that they would never lower the price privately again. After paying a fine to the police station, the police station released the person.
At this time, Wang Ping came forward to convene everyone for a meeting. At the meeting, Wang Ping first admitted his mistake to everyone, saying that he himself did not expect that things would turn out like this. However, in order to take care of everyone's common interests, he and the bosses of several large stone factories decided to purchase the stones in the hands of the bosses of these small stone factories. Of course, the price was as low as 30% lower than their current external sales price.
It was not until then that everyone suddenly realized that Wang Ping had already made this idea, but now he was already under the roof and had to bow his head. Moreover, even if the price was 30% lower, it was still much higher than before. Everyone agreed to Wang Ping's proposal again. In this way, two Wang Ping and several other directors of the big stone factory basically controlled the stone market in Qingshan Town.
Of course, not everything is controlled by Wang Ping. The peasant's cunning also made these small stone manufacturers think of a solution, which is to reduce the price by 10% in private. However, they are worried that they will be retaliated by Wang Ping. Such a business cannot be done with great fanfare, but can only be carried out secretly in private.
Therefore, there are usually a group of people on the road leading to Qingshan Town. Whenever they see a large cart with stone pulling comes over, they will take the initiative to step forward and stop the car. After the price is negotiated in the car, they will quietly take it to their own stone factory and sell their own stone at a price of 10% or 20% lower than the market price.
Of course, Wang Ping soon discovered that the little stone owners were carrying his actions on his back, but firstly he could not stare at this piece every day, and secondly, even if he discovered it, these little stone owners were all polite. The ones who came to pull the stone were their own relatives, so could not take care of them? Wang Ping didn't want to force them too much, and he was also worried that if it counterattacked, it would be difficult to end the situation. You must know that Qingshan Town is a tough people. If these people make trouble, they cannot take their so-called agreements and contracts seriously. Therefore, he could only turn a blind eye to such things.
Of course, it does not mean that he turns a blind eye. Since he cannot fix the small stone owners who secretly sell stones, at least he can deal with these stone merchants. Therefore, as long as he and the big stone owners ship the goods, they will release a shipping document with the goods. When he hears that someone ships the goods privately, he will notify his son Wang Niu to set up a checkpoint on the road. As long as he finds a truck that pulls stones without shipping documents, then sorry can only be considered unlucky.
For such vehicles, they can always find all kinds of strange reasons to punish them. No matter what kind of vehicle it is, it is impossible to find out the problem. If you investigate and punish once, you will be fined for nothing.
Although the owner of the vehicle who was punished is not clear, why do you only find out the one he has and ignore other vehicles? Just ask a little inquire about it and you will understand the cause and effect. When you come to pick up goods again the second time, you have to think carefully about whether it is necessary to take risks for the money saved. Therefore, next time when you meet a stone owner who stops the car, they usually choose to ignore it. Only when a merchant who comes to Qingshan Town to pick up goods for the first time and doesn’t understand the situation, will he greedy for the cheap to buy goods from some small stone owners.
This is how things happened today. Several vehicles from other places were intercepted on the road. Wang Niu heard the news from somewhere, so he hurriedly led the people from the town traffic management office to stop the cars on the road.
The matter sounds complicated, but in fact it is just a matter of a cigarette. Chen Yangmei and Luo Shuai understood the whole story. Chen Yangmei had a cold face and was unknown whether it was possible. Luo Shuai smiled "hehe" and said, "I can't tell that Wang Ping really has some tricks. After this, he siege Wei and rescue Zhao, he easily monopolized the stone trade."
"Who said no? In fact, it is mainly because Wang Ping is rich and powerful. His son is the director of the police station. And I heard that Wang Ping has a big backer in the town and the county. Be good! Who dares to mess with such a person?" The driver surnamed Sang shook his head and continued, "So, two little brothers, if you are here to pull stones, it is best to think clearly whether it is worth it? Avoid a secret loss!"
Chen Yangmei nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Sang for your reminder. Let's take a look in front and see the style of this Bull Demon King in the World." He said that, patted Luo Shuai on the shoulder.
Luo Shuai opened the car door, and the two jumped out of the car one by one. The driver surnamed Sang seemed to want to stop it, but shook his head and gave up. Although Chen Yangmei and Luo Shuai looked very young last year, their temperament was very different from that of ordinary people, especially when they were so good as "China", they thought they were not simple people. When they talked about Wang Ping and Wang Niu just now, they didn't mean to be afraid of Wang Ping and his son. They thought they were not afraid of Wang Ping and his son. But the old saying goes, this strong dragon will not suppress local snakes. I hope these two polite young people will not have conflicts with Wang Niu, otherwise even if there is any big force behind them, they may suffer some losses.
