Li Erchun watched people leave from the bar, her heart bleeding. She gritted her teeth and immediately started an event in the group chat.
"To thank everyone for their support, those who pan for gold here will be offered free accommodation and two boxed meals!"
Unfortunately, this measure doesn't retain many people. Accommodation and boxed meals only cost a few dozen yuan. They come here to make money, not to have a place to stay.
When the next day came, only about twenty people remained.
Looking at the deserted mining site, Li Erchun was filled with worry and couldn't stop sighing.
"Sis, this can't go on. How much money did we spend to acquire this mining site? If we keep going like this, won't we lose money?"
"Then what do you suggest? Are you suggesting we lower the price?" Li Erchun was a thousand times unwilling to lower the price.
But now it seems that there is no other way but to lower the price.
"Surrender, what else can you do? If you surrender, you can still get some people, but if you don't, you're just waiting to die," Li Kaichun advised.
Li Erchun pondered for a long time before finally nodding with a heavy heart.
"Just surrender, just surrender, damn it, what's the matter?"
"How much will it be reduced?" Li Kaichun asked, holding up his phone.
"Let's lower the price by 150 first," Li Erchun said with a pained expression.
Another hundred and fifty yuan less for each person, damn it.
"Okay, then let's lower the price by 150."
Li Kaichun nodded and spread the news. Of course, he couldn't say it was a price reduction directly; he said it was a subsidy and rebate of 150 yuan.
They thought that as long as the price was lowered, the mining business would pick up again. But to their surprise, business not only didn't pick up, but they lost a few more customers.
"No, didn't I already lower the price? Why are people still not coming?" Li Erchun said, completely baffled.
"Is it because the price reduction is too small that they are unwilling to come?" Li Kaichun guessed with a worried expression.
"How much lower is it? One hundred and fifty is still too little. I might as well give it to them for free," Li Erchun said angrily.
"Sis, now is not the time to be angry. We still have loan repayments chasing us every month."
"Lower the price a bit more. After all, the highest price at other stores is only five hundred, while ours is eight hundred and fifty, which is really too high." Li Kaichun also wanted to earn more, but no one is stupid.
With such high ticket prices, you can't even break even. Who would come here for free?
"Another 150 yuan reduction, isn't that generous enough?" Li Erchun snorted angrily.
These gold prospectors have no idea what they're missing. They know their mines are great, so why don't they come here? No wonder they can't make a fortune.
However, the expected rebound did not occur, and the number of people on the second day was the same as the day before.
People are strange; the more expensive something is, the more people want to try it. But if you lower the price, they'll want to wait and see and not make a move, just like when buying a house.
Li Erchun really couldn't hold out any longer, so he lowered the price again and again, finally reducing it to 500, but then the food and lodging were no longer free.
She's thinking, "Come or don't come, it's up to you, but I definitely can't lower the price any further."
After a few days, business at the mining site finally picked up, and the number of people gradually increased, eventually stabilizing at a certain level.
After all, this is a newly opened mining site, and the output rate should be higher for the same 500 coins.
Of course, you have to ignore that shrew Li Erchun.
After having hotpot in Qiuling City, Chen Feng and his group spent their time scavenging for goods in abandoned mines in small villages.
At night, a campfire was lit, and everyone ate noodles while Huang Fei looked at his phone and chuckled.
"Look at this, what do you think? They're just causing trouble. It's still a thousand, but the price has been dropping these past few days. I guess nobody's going."
"It's already dropped to 500, I wonder if it will drop again."
Zheng Ping looked at his phone, thought for a moment, and said, "It shouldn't drop again. After all, it's a newly opened mining site, and it wouldn't be appropriate for it to drop again."
"Luckily we listened to Fengzi and didn't keep searching there, otherwise we would have lost money too."
After they finished eating hot pot that day, they actually had a bit of a will to live.
After all, not only did Chen Feng get 400,000, but Lin Nian also got more than 20,000.
They're willing to try again, earning a thousand yuan a day, just in case they find a big shipment.
However, Chen Feng stopped them.
He knew exactly why he found so many good deals; Lin Nian was just lucky.
However, based on the earnings of others, a thousand yuan a day is simply not appropriate.
If things go well, you might make a little money, but if they go wrong, you'll lose everything, so Chen Feng disagreed with them continuing.
Of course, Chen Feng wouldn't stop anyone who insisted on going; he was just giving advice based on his own experience.
Of course, these people really listened to Chen Feng. When Chen Feng said he didn't recommend going, they really didn't go.
Now, seeing the situation at the Li family's mining site, they are even more relieved.
Thank goodness we didn't go then. If we had gone, we wouldn't have been able to find anything worthwhile, and the extra ticket money we paid would have made them incredibly frustrated.
Of course, I really didn't expect that the price at the Li family mine would drop so quickly; it's only been a few days and it's already down to 500.
It seems that tricks really don't work; after all, nobody's a fool.
"What do you say for tomorrow? Are you still going to shop around, or are you going home?" Chen Feng asked, looking at them.
"Forget it, we've been out for quite a while now, and we don't have much left. We'll sell the goods tomorrow, head home, and come back later," Zheng Ping said after considering the supplies.
If they want to buy more, they'll have to let Huang Fei go and source the goods.
It costs a lot of money to come here, and they can't stay here forever, so they just shop for a few days and then leave.
After considering everything, they're simply not compatible.
It would be better to just go home, stay for a few days, and then come back.
“Okay, then I’ll go sell the goods tomorrow morning, and go home after I’m done.” Chen Feng nodded.
He had a very fruitful trip and wanted to go home to rest before making any further plans.
The next morning, they arrived at a recycling point in Qiuling City, the one they frequented.
To their surprise, there were already some people in the house, even though it was morning.
The group went up to the bar and, as usual, each ordered a drink.
This time we couldn't drink alcohol because we had to drive later, so we each had an iced drink.
Some people looked at Zheng Ping and his group and felt that they looked familiar, and then they saw Chen Feng.
Holy crap, isn't that the guy with the 400,000? I actually ran into him here!
"Dude, are you the number one at the Li family mine?" someone asked Chen Feng quickly.
Zheng Ping and the others chuckled upon hearing this, never expecting that Chen Feng had become a celebrity and would be recognized even in the store.
"That's right, it's me." Chen Feng turned around and smiled, not hiding anything.
"Wow, I didn't expect to run into you here! Let's shake hands, I'm going to go shopping later, hoping for some good luck!"
The man walked up and grabbed Chen Feng's hand, rubbing it back and forth, leaving Chen Feng feeling quite helpless.
It feels like I've been taken advantage of.
