Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 355 Price War

Doctor Ma didn't want people to think she was arrogant, so he hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Qi, there is no one like you in this world of business. You are indeed wrong."

But they couldn't offend Manager Qi. After all, Yanhongtang had been able to exist peacefully in East Street for so many years, and who knows what kind of backers they might have. If the matter was really brought to the attention of the government, the outcome would be hard to predict.

Besides, in business, harmony brings wealth.

After making this accusation, Doctor Ma signaled the people holding Shopkeeper Qi to let him go. "They are just kids, they are just earning some pocket money. Your Yanhongtang is a big family, even if you don't make a fortune every day, your daily income is not small, why are you still fussing with kids?"

Shopkeeper Qi's face twitched a few times. Earning a few hundred coins a day can be called pocket money?

Which family gives their children pocket money of several hundred coins a day? How many shops in this city can earn several hundred coins a day?

However, he couldn't refute it, because no matter what, there was no reason for him to not allow his competitors to sell at a lower price just because he couldn't sell his products.

Facing the little girl, he could admit it without batting an eyelid, but if he admitted it to Dr. Ma, an adult, he would no longer be in the right.

What's more, those who are in the rouge and powder business need to have a good relationship with doctors.

In the past, he did not take Doctor Ma seriously, thinking that he was just a doctor who treated the poor on West Street. He was not sure how good his medical skills could be, not to mention that he had any method of making rouge and powder.

But unexpectedly, he was wrong. It turned out that Doctor Ma was the junior brother of Doctor Lin who was supported by the Shen Mansion. I heard that Doctor Lin had cooperation with Daiyixuan, the largest temple in the capital.

They are from the same master. The elder sister is such an excellent medical skill and can cooperate with Dai Yixuan in the capital. I believe that the younger brother also knows a lot of methods of making ointments and powders.

Shopkeeper Qi wanted to find Doctor Ma to cooperate, so he naturally couldn't offend him to death, mainly because he was unreasonable.

After mumbling a few words, he left.

Song Ying and his companions thanked the crowd again and prepared to return to the clinic. As soon as they came out of the crowd, they saw Chen Yunze and his attendant standing under the eaves of the opposite house.

Doctor Ma disliked the Chen family very much, so he glanced at them and then looked away. Although Song Ying and others also disliked Chen Yunze, they still nodded to him because of the so-called life-saving money Chen Yunze gave them.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yunze came over with a smile and said, "I heard a few days ago that someone was selling pancreas from door to door. It turned out to be you. It's not a good idea to keep selling from door to door like this. Why don't you open a shop? I happen to have a few suitable shops on East Street, and I can rent them to you at a lower price."

Luo Yanxing refused without a second thought: "No, walking around the streets is good enough. Some peddlers have to carry goods to sell in various villages. Walking around the streets is nothing!"

It costs money to rent a shop, and the daily profit is limited. If you add the cost of renting the shop, the profit will be much less!

Song Ying didn't think there was anything wrong with walking around the streets, but Luo Yanxing rushed from the village early every day and rushed back in the afternoon, which was indeed hard work. However, it was a bit rash to open a shop at this stage, and he had to wait until the customer base stabilized.

Then he said to Chen Yunze: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen, but we are a small business and cannot open a shop yet."

Chen Yunze was very enthusiastic. "Selling pancreas doesn't bring much profit, but we can sell other things. I think Doctor Ma and Doctor Lin have many good methods of making rouge and powder. I heard that there is a rouge cream that is very popular among the ladies in Beijing. I think it is also popular in Qingshui County."

It turned out that this person was actually the master and uncle's idea. Song Ying's impression of him became worse and he refused again: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen, but at present we only want to sell pancreas, not other things, and we don't want to open a shop."

I thought that day was over, but the next day, Luo Yanxing went to East Street to sell things with a basket as usual. When he passed by Yanhongtang, he saw many people inside, and a waiter was standing at the door soliciting customers: "Don't miss it if you pass by. Yanhongtang has a big sale. Pancreas is on sale. It used to cost 30 cents, but today it only costs 19 cents..."

Luo Yanxing frowned. This was a challenge to her. However, Shopkeeper Qi was too stingy. Even after the challenge, he only offered 1 cent less than her lower price.

However, the pancreas of Yanhongtang is made with a special mold. It is not only rounder and more regular, but also has patterns on it, which makes it much more beautiful than their pancreas.

For similar prices, people would naturally prefer to buy the better-looking one.

What to do now?

Luo Yanxing really wanted to lower the price on the spot. After all, the cost of pancreas was very low, and she would still make a profit if she lowered the price further. But after thinking about it, she decided to go back and discuss it with Song Ying and Lin Wenxuan.

Song Ying was not worried at all after hearing this. "We don't have to worry about the soap going bad in the short term, and we don't need to pay rent for the shop. Even if we can't sell any of it, we won't suffer a loss for the time being. I don't believe he can keep the price the same!"

Hearing this, Luo Yanxing felt much more at ease. He was glad that he had made the right decision yesterday and did not rent a shop.

Lin Wenxuan was a little worried. "Although this business sells things, it is also about people. If his prices are similar to ours in the future, and he occasionally offers big discounts to win people's hearts, people will naturally go to him to buy things out of friendship."

Song Ying thought for a moment and said, "If he really wants to cut off our source of income to this extent, then we can't blame him for disrupting the market. We will slash the price and sell it for only five or six coins a piece!

By then, who knows, other people who don’t use pancreas will also be willing to try it. With small profits but quick turnover, the profit may not be less than it is now.

Besides, the customers of Yanhongtang are not only the maids and servants in the mansion, but also some ladies and young ladies. If he dares to lower the price like us, other people will naturally go to their shop to buy. In this way, those ladies and young ladies will not be willing to go to Yanhongtang. Then who will he sell his rouge and powder to?"

Luo Yanxing's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Now I'm looking forward to him doing this! I really want to see if he has the courage to sell his rouge and powder at a big discount!"

Lin Wenxuan no longer had any worries. "Anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't do this. There are too few people who buy rouge and powder. Even if we want to make a small profit but quick turnover, it's still difficult. Junior sister, this trick is really powerful!"

Song Ying said modestly for a few words, and then said cunningly: "Isn't he trying to win people's hearts with the big reward right now? Let's borrow his big reward to win our hearts."

"How can I borrow this?" Luo Yanxing wondered.

"Take a small amount of small balls of pancreas and sell them on East Street as usual. If you meet our usual customers, ask them to go to Yanhongtang to buy pancreas. If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you'd be a fool. Don't miss out on this great deal!

Then remember to go to the area near Yanhongtang and tell the staff and customers there that when Yanhongtang raises the price back up, we will continue to sell it!"
