Zhou Chuan's lips twitched as he looked at Li San, who was surrounded by a group of female classmates, while his side was completely empty. How could he do business like this?
Price reduction!
Zhou Chuan was so angry his face turned purple, and he had no choice but to lower the price again.
Seeing that Zhou Chuan was also lowering his prices, Li San picked up a megaphone and continued to lower his prices, engaging in a price war with Zhou Chuan.
The female students watching were overjoyed at the sight, because the two women's jewelry was cheaper than the other, and for a moment, no one was in a hurry to buy anything, waiting for the two women to lower the price again.
"Boss, are you going to lower the price or not? If not, I'll go buy it from over there."
A female classmate's question made Zhou Chuan want to vomit blood. He did want to lower the price, but the problem was that if he lowered it to the same price as Li San, he would not only not make a penny, but might even lose money.
But if we don't lower the price, they're being too arrogant!
He'd rather save face than fight for a mere steamed bun; at worst, he wouldn't make any money.
Zhou Chuan gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and lowered the price to the same level as Li San.
However,
Seeing this, Li San didn't take it seriously. He picked up the megaphone again and announced a price that was 50 cents cheaper than before. The female students became even more excited and all turned their eyes to Zhou Chuan, hoping that he would continue to sell at an even lower price.
Zhou Chuan was so angry he was grinding his teeth. How could he possibly respond to this? Was he supposed to sell at a loss?
He's here to make money, not to give it away.
Zhou Chuan couldn't keep up anymore, cursing inwardly, "Are you fucking an idiot? Selling things at a loss, you'll go bankrupt! I won't back down, I'll watch you lose money and see if you can afford it."
Zhou Chuan felt that Li San was doing it on purpose, deliberately making things difficult for him. Li San was being foolish, losing money by selling things, and he couldn't be foolish like him.
Since you're selling at a loss, then go ahead and sell!
The female students present were greatly disappointed when they saw Zhou Chuan remain silent and stop following suit, because they thought that if Zhou Chuan lowered the price, Li San would lower it even further.
But the next second, the girls stopped dawdling and started snapping up the items, not wanting to miss out on this great opportunity of a price war.
Zhou Chuan used to sell them at such high prices, but today at Li San's place, you can buy three of them for the same price.
"Trying to lower prices with me? Hah... I can't outdo you in that."
The task of collecting money was left to his two underlings. Li San sat in his chair, looking confident. Zhou Chen had given him 10,000 yuan to buy goods and said that it wouldn't matter if he lost all 10,000 yuan.
But Li San dared not let Zhou Chen lose money. Because the quantity of goods he purchased was large, not the hundreds of yuan worth of goods that Zhou Chuan purchased. He directly purchased goods worth 10,000 yuan. Li San's purchase price was much lower than Zhou Chuan's. Even if Zhou Chuan had already reduced the price to the point of not making a profit, Li San could still make a profit even if the price was reduced again and again.
If Zhou Chuan tries to compete with him on price, he's doomed.
As long as he and Zhou Chuan sell in the same area, Zhou Chuan will have no chance of selling; he will be completely dominated by Zhou Chuan's prices.
Zhou Chuan's stall was empty, without a single customer, while Li San's stall was surrounded by layers upon layers of people.
"You're so capable. Keep losing money. Let's see how long you can keep losing money."
"Anyway, it's not my money that's being lost."
"Idiot, complete idiot."
As Zhou Chuan watched the frenzied buying scene across the street, he couldn't help but sneer and curse inwardly.
Not long after,
When Zhou Chuan saw that all the trinkets on Li San's stall were sold out, he couldn't help but laugh. He deliberately raised his voice and said sarcastically, "Since you're lowering the price, why not buy more stock? Can't you afford to lose money? Or are you just worried about the cost? If you can't afford to lose money, don't try to put on a show. It's embarrassing!"
"Boss, do you have any more? I haven't bought any yet."
"Boss, can you restock some stock?"
Many of the girls at the scene arrived late and, seeing how cheap the jewelry was, were reluctant to leave because they hadn't been able to buy any.
Li San naturally heard Zhou Chuan's sarcastic remarks. He picked up the megaphone and said to the girls present, "Ladies, please rest assured, I guarantee you will be satisfied with your purchase."
Just then, a younger man came over carrying a large package. When he opened it, it was full of various ornaments.
The girls' eyes lit up when they saw so many accessories, especially the ones in the bag, which were different from the ones before. In an instant, they started scrambling to buy them again.
Zhou Chuan, who had originally planned to watch Li San make a fool of himself, fell silent in anger when he saw Li San take out another large bag of jewelry, containing over a thousand pieces.
He now understood why Li San dared to compete with him on price: Li San had more goods and therefore had an advantage.
If he wants to make money, he has to set up his stall in a different location; otherwise, he won't be able to outsell Li San.
Having realized this, Zhou Chuan decided to change the location.
Yenching University has more than just this one university; he can go to other universities and still make money like before.
"Big brother, he's gone."
After seeing Zhou Chuan pack his things and slink away, the younger brother immediately reminded Li San.
“We’ll pack up and follow him. Wherever he goes to sell, we’ll go. We have to complete the task assigned by Brother Chen and not let him earn a single penny.”
A moment later, Li San, accompanied by two of his underlings, left amidst the lingering gazes of a group of female classmates.
That night, in the boys' dormitory,
Zhang Hao and Wang Rui talked about the price war that happened at the school gate today between two jewelry vendors.
"Are girls really this crazy when they buy things?"
Wang Rui clicked his tongue in amazement.
"That was pretty crazy. They almost bought up all the other vendors' goods. But another vendor was in a worse situation. It seems he didn't sell a single item. I heard he raised his prices a few days ago, but then this fellow vendor came along today and immediately brought the prices down. Now, nobody wants to buy his jewelry anymore."
Zhang Hao shrugged and concluded that this was a case of insatiable greed, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
“Brother Chen, you asked us to ask that vendor about his selling price the other day, and now this vendor with an extremely low price has come along. If you want to do this business, you have to think it through carefully. At least in terms of price, you have to be able to offer a price even lower than that low-price vendor, otherwise your business will be snatched away.”
Wang Rui suddenly thought of something, turned his head, and reminded Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao also looked at Zhou Chen, a thoughtful expression on his face. After a few seconds, he said slowly, "Is it possible that the vendor selling at such low prices is actually one of Brother Chen's men?"
Um?
Zhou Chen's expression flashed, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao was indeed clever; he immediately connected the dots with him.
Wang Rui and Li Wei were completely taken aback and both looked on in astonishment. Then they both turned to look at Zhou Chen, wanting to verify whether it was true or not.
"Brother Chen, is what Haozi said true?"
"That's right, Mouse guessed correctly."
In front of her three roommates, Zhou Chen openly admitted it without hiding it.
