"President Shen, your idea is indeed good."
"but……"
Looking at Shen Youde in front of him, Yang Bing had a complicated expression. He opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
"you say."
Shen Youde glanced at Yang Bing with great suspicion: "Speak freely. We are discussing how our Shen's Brewery can survive, so you can say whatever you want. There's nothing you can't say!"
"Mr. Shen, if we use your method, our Linhai beer, which is so affordable and delicious, will definitely sell well."
"After all, when prices are the same, people buy beer based on taste."
"And the taste of our Linhai Beer is definitely 100% far superior to the Dongshan Beer produced by Linsen Dongshan Brewery. There is no doubt about that."
"but……"
Yang Bing said bitterly, "If we could sell it for 1.5 yuan a pitcher or 15 cents a bottle, we could do so."
"The ones who make money are the supply and marketing cooperatives and factory canteens, and the ones who benefit are the workers and ordinary people of Linhai County."
"We're the ones who will lose money!"
Yang Bing looked embarrassed: "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Uncle Yang, we can't afford to lose money, can we?"
Shen Zhao, standing to the side, muttered with great suspicion, "After all, according to previous statistics, the cost price of each bottle of Linhai Beer is 15 cents."
"So we wholesale to them for 1.5 yuan a jug or 15 cents a bottle."
"It's just that it doesn't make money."
Shen Zhao shrugged slightly and muttered, "But it's not to the point of losing money yet!"
"Uncle Yang, don't you think so?"
"Young master, that's not how the accounts are calculated."
Looking at Shen Zhao in front of him, Yang Bing said bitterly, "Our current cost price seems to be 15 cents per bottle. But there are losses during transportation, as well as labor costs and transportation fees."
"All of these add up to money."
"So, all things considered, the cost of a bottle is definitely more than 15 cents."
"However, these miscellaneous costs are actually not much, and they are too varied to be included in the cost price."
Yang Bing shook his head: "Therefore, we chose not to calculate the cost price and just set it at 15 cents per bottle."
"After all, when there is a profit, these cost prices are just a fraction of the profit."
"When calculating total net income, a slight subtraction will suffice."
"But now, if the ex-factory price is set at 15 cents a bottle, then all this miscellaneous waste will be pure loss for us."
"Therefore, we have no choice but to calculate it."
"and."
Yang Bing looked at Shen Youde with a very serious and solemn expression: "President Shen, the price of raw materials has been gradually rising."
"So we're selling it for 15 cents a bottle now, which means we're not losing money on the surface."
"But what about six months later, or a year later?"
“Once the cost of raw materials goes up, we will still sell at this price.”
"That would mean losing a lot of money!"
"You opened the brewery to make money."
Yang Bing said with a bitter expression, "If we end up losing money now, Mr. Shen, isn't that a bit inappropriate..."
"father?"
Shen Zhao's gaze immediately sharpened, and he looked at Shen Youde with great concern.
After all, the Shen family brewery would be his sooner or later, so of course he didn't want the brewery to cause the Shen family to lose money.
"Mr. Shen, this is indeed going to result in a loss."
Yang Guodong, his face bruised and swollen, looked cautiously at Shen Youde, who had just slapped him hard.
"It's alright."
"Pay the compensation if you should, it's nothing."
Although Yang Guodong, Yang Bing, and Shen Zhao were all worried at the moment, they were very unwilling to lose money for no reason.
But Shen Youde smiled and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Let me tell you, losing money now is for making more money later!"
"Once we drive Lin Sen's brewery into bankruptcy, we can naturally raise prices and continue to make money."
"If we can sell our Linhai beer to several counties in Ningbo City at that time..."
"Then naturally we will make back what we've lost, with interest."
Shen Youde smiled and took a sip of tea: "In business, if you don't lose money, you don't make money. Nine out of ten businessmen start by losing money to gain market share!"
"That's perfectly normal."
"Especially when there's a price war."
Shen Youde stared intently at Shen Zhao, Yang Bing, and Yang Guodong: "If you only give the supply and marketing cooperatives and factory canteens five cents of profit according to your method, they will have little incentive to sell."
"So, if we're going to engage in a price war, we either won't fight it at all, or if we're determined to fight it, we'll be ruthless and every move will be fatal."
"We need a swift and decisive victory!"
They want to lower the price, but they don't want to lower the price either.
"This kind of hesitant and indecisive approach will only lead to missed opportunities and alienate the people."
"Bang!"
Shen Youde slammed his hand on the table, looking at Shen Zhao, Yang Bing, and Yang Guodong with a very serious expression: "Remember this, our Shen family is large and powerful, with a strong financial foundation."
"Therefore, in a price war, Lin Sen will definitely be the first to collapse!"
"He won't last much longer."
Shen Youde sneered: "Instead of engaging in a drawn-out battle with him for years with only a small price reduction, it's better to finish this quickly and completely defeat him in a few months!"
"Therefore, when it's time to lower prices, do so significantly without hesitation."
"Even if it lasts for five months, the loss will only be 50,000 yuan."
"I can still afford to pay for it!"
Shen Youde smiled proudly: "But Lin Sen, even if you ask him to pay a full 50,000 yuan in five months, he absolutely cannot come up with it!"
"Mr. Shen, I understand."
Yang Bing immediately nodded: "Then we'll do it your way. We'll drastically reduce prices and promote sales to stimulate the enthusiasm of various supply and marketing cooperatives and factory canteens, and win back our market share."
"Mr. Shen, you are truly generous."
Yang Guodong was also very impressed and gave Shen Youde a thumbs up: "That bastard Lin Sen, his foundation is far inferior to our Shen's Brewery. I'm sure it won't be long before his garbage brewery goes bankrupt."
"Then he came to kneel and beg you, Mr. Shen, to have mercy and buy his Dongshan Brewery."
"Ha ha."
Shen Youde smiled upon hearing this.
To be honest, he was really looking forward to seeing Lin Sen pitifully come to Shen's Brewery and beg him on his knees.
He wanted to make Lin Sen submit obediently.
He will continue to be his son willingly and obediently!
"Father, I have an idea."
At this moment, Shen Zhao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Shen Youde with great excitement: "This can reduce the cost of our Shen's Brewery's Linhai Beer."
"Let's try to cut costs and increase revenue, and strive to lose less money!"
