Now Shopkeepers Wang and Du were even more confused. They must be mentally ill to buy grain from the rival grain shop.
Seeing that they were not interested, Shopkeeper Sun quickly explained, "Brothers, think about it. Xiangrui Grain Shop is a newly opened shop. How can it compare with us? It just relies on buying grains of better quality than ours and selling them at a lower price."
"Think about it, the two of you. If that kid had enough food, could he have opened a grain store in just this town? So I guess he definitely doesn't have much food."
"Let's find someone to pretend to be a passing merchant and buy grain from them. The more we buy, the cheaper it will be. When we buy all the grain from them, the price of grain will be controlled by the three of us."
As Manager Sun spoke, he clapped his hands and called over two servants, asking them to carry all the grain purchased from the Xiangrui Grain Shop to the center of the flower hall and open it wide for them to see.
"Look, the quality of his grain is much better than the best grains of our families. If you two are unwilling to follow me, you can only wait to be suppressed by this Xiangrui Grain Shop that appeared out of nowhere. Not only will you not make money, but your master behind you will also blame you."
After listening to what Shopkeeper Sun said, Shopkeepers Wang and Du fell silent.
Shopkeeper Sun ignored them and calmly sipped his tea, waiting for their consent.
Seeing their wavering expressions, Shopkeeper Sun added fuel to the fire and said, "Look at the quality of this grain. We won't be at a loss even if we buy it at the price of Xiangrui Grain Shop. When the time comes, we can sell this grain separately in our own grain shop and double the price."
"Or we can take this part of the grain to the state capital to sell. Those dignitaries will definitely compete to buy it. I don't think I need to explain the pros and cons of this to you one by one."
"When Xiangrui Grain Store runs out of grain to sell, we will spread the news that Xiangrui Grain Store is not trustworthy, so that they can no longer stay in this town."
Shopkeepers Wang and Du became more and more excited as they heard this. After looking at each other, they saw determination in each other's eyes.
Once the two of them made the decision, they said they were willing to work under Manager Sun.
Even if there are not as many benefits as Manager Sun said, just defeating the Xiangrui Grain Shop would be a great thing for them.
The three of them discussed for a long time and only dispersed after they had agreed on how much grain each person should buy from the Xiangrui Grain Shop.
What was finally decided was that no matter how much grain the Xiangrui Grain Store had in stock, Wang’s Grain Store and Du’s Grain Store would each buy 30%, and the remaining 40% would be provided by Manager Sun.
They made this decision because they believed that Xiangrui Grain Store would not have much grain stored.
After the discussion, the three of them quickly arranged for people to disguise themselves as three groups of merchants and go to Xiangrui Grain Shop to negotiate the price of grain.
Feng San and Feng Si were busy in the grain shop. One day, when they received three groups of merchants who said they came here to buy large quantities of grain because of its reputation, they reported the matter to Liang Hui.
Liang Hui secretly smiled that the fish had finally taken the hook, and let them negotiate the price with the three groups according to the strategy they had originally agreed upon.
After several discussions, the parties decided on the price of grain.
Xiangrui Grain Store sold grain to them at a price one penny lower per pound than when selling it separately, and they would not agree to any less.
Those 'merchants' gritted their teeth and agreed.
