Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1939

Li Quan frowned and said, "What? Do you disagree, Mr. Cen?"

"Of course I don't agree!" Cen Wenwen said loudly; "You guys have a big family and a big business, so you can afford to lose. But I, Cen Wenwen, am a clean and honest official, and I don't have much savings at all. If this continues, my capital of 20 yuan may be lost." It will be nothing!"

Li Quan said: "Cen Shilang, please be calm. The matter is not as serious as you imagined. The staff's wages and the rent of the house are converted into the daily cost. There is not much money at all, and it will not hurt your principal. Bone."

Zhang Liang also persuaded: "Cen Shilang, if you take out 20 guan, do you want to deal with Guo Ye or want to make money? Don't put the cart before the horse. Let's put it this way, if you take out [-] guan, you will be able to make money. Guo Ye's family has been ruined, do you want to do it?"

As soon as Guo Ye was mentioned, Cen Wenwen became energetic and said: "As long as Guo Ye's family can be destroyed, let alone 50 guan, even [-] guan, I am willing!"

"That's right, Patriarch Li's stratagem is only a loss of four or five thousand guan on your head. What can't you bear?"

"But if you do this, will Guo Ye's family be ruined?"

Zhang Liang sighed, and said, "Of course not. But if nothing unexpected happens, this price reduction is enough to hurt him! We have cut the price by three times abruptly. If Guo Ye followed us and lowered the price at the same time, would suffer huge losses.”

"Then what if he doesn't follow?"

"In that case, all the customers of Changlefang Big Bank will be robbed by our Wude Bank, and his loss will not be small. No matter what he chooses, he will be sure of this loss!"

"Then...well, just follow what you two said!"

As soon as the brand of Wude Bank's new price was put up, the effect was immediate, and there were a lot of guests immediately!

Without it, the glassware from Wude Daqianzhuang is really too cheap!What is equivalent to the original 120 guan, now you can buy [-] guan!Who would not take such a big deal?

The current situation is completely reversed. There is a long queue at the entrance of the Wude Bank, but the Changlefang Bank is empty.Many people even withdraw money from Changlefang Bank and transfer it to Wude Bank.

With such a stark contrast, even though he knew that he was losing money all the time, Cen Wenwen was still very satisfied.

He thought to himself, I, Cen Wenwen, suffered a loss of four to five thousand yuan in order to win over clients.Can you, Guo Ye, take it easy?Seeing a large number of customers being robbed by our Wude Bank, you must feel depressed and want to vomit blood, right?

Hey, this is just the beginning, sooner or later I will destroy your family!If you fight against me, Cen Wenwen, there will be no good end!

……

……

In fact, things were quite different from what he had imagined.

At the headquarters of Changlefang Big Bank, Guo Ye, Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao organized a banquet and were drinking happily.

Cen Wenwen thought that Guo Ye, who was going to lose his temper, was calm and relaxed at this moment, without any signs of panic.

Liang Ershao said: "Qin Guogong, all the current customers have gone to Wude Bank, how should we deal with it?"

Guo Ye said: "Brother Liang, don't worry, isn't it just to lower the price? He lowered it and we also lowered it. Hehe, the cost of my perfumes is lower than people think. If there is a price war, the five noble families will definitely lose."

"Then let's lower the price now?"

However, Guo Ye shook his head and said, "There is no need to worry about the price reduction. When should the price be lowered and how much should be lowered, it is very learned."

"Study?" Liang Ershao frowned slightly, and said, "Now that the five major banks have already made moves, isn't this the best time to lower prices?"

"Of course not."

"What?"

"Because I don't know how much we should drop. What if we drop too much and scare the five nobles, what should they do?"

He sighed, and continued: "If you beat a snake, you won't die, but you will suffer from it. This time, we must let Wude Bank lose all of our pants. We can't act too hastily."

"Then you can't wait like this forever?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "Brother Liang, don't worry, the time for us to lower the price should be coming soon!"

At this moment, a guard rushed forward, bowed and saluted, and said, "I have news to Duke Qin!"

"Bring it to me!"

The guard took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket, and opened it, but inside was a piece of paper folded in a square shape, on which was densely written in small script.

Guo Ye opened the paper, read it carefully, smiled slightly, and said, "It's boring, it's really boring. This is just the beginning, and the five gentry clans have already played all their cards. I just won them like this. I really can't win." Wu feeling."

"Qin Guogong, what kind of news is this?"

"This is from the eyeliner I arranged in Wude Big Bank! There is a saying that knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible in a hundred battles. With this news, Wude Big Bank is doomed!"

Chai Lingwen said: "No way... for this kind of thing, you actually sent spies to Wude Big Bank?"

"It's not a spy, it's just that they poached people from our Changlefang big bank, and I just tricked them. The money is really good. I didn't expect to get their new appointments and such important news so quickly. "

"What was written on that piece of paper?"

"It says that the glazed vessels used by the five major gentry clans as mortgages are already at cost!"

"Then we just need to reduce the price of the perfume by three times, wouldn't we win for sure?"

Chai Lingwen said: "It's not difficult to defeat, I'm afraid they won't die. Qin Guogong, how much do you think the price should be reduced this time?"

Guo Ye thought for a while, and said: "I mean, the price should be reduced by three times. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pose a threat to Wude Bank. However, the speed of releasing goods should be slowed down by half!"

Both Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao were extremely smart people, and they understood Guo Ye's plan as soon as they heard it, and they both gave Guo Ye a thumbs up!

Chai Lingwen shook his head and said, "There is a saying in the art of war. If you can do it, you can show that you can't, and if you use it, you can show that it can't be used. Qin Guogong's actions have won the three flavors of the art of war! High, really high!"

Liang Ershao also said: "You really have a talent for doing business. Even if you are not an official in the court, you will become a generation of rich people. My surname Liang is convinced!"

Guo Ye was a little embarrassed by these two compliments, and said: "Small skills are not worth mentioning. It is not certain whether the five great gentry can be fooled! The two praised you. Huh? That's right..."

He pointed at the two of them with his hand, and said: "You two were not like this before. Even if you admire me, it is difficult to say it out loud, and maybe you will even ridicule me. Why is it so uncharacteristic today? What kind of conspiracy is there? ?”

Chai Lingwen said: "One moment is another moment. You think you were the Marquis of Yizhou at the beginning, but now you are the Duke of Qin. Although the two of us are not people who follow others, we also know the huge gap with you. It is also appropriate to show respect to you, then What is the word called..."

He slapped his head and said, "That's right! It's a crime to disobey an expert! The two of us are just acknowledging the reality today."

Liang Ershao also said: "It's all about being an official and doing business. The most important thing is that you can also invent magical things such as Nine Heavens Jade Dew and scented soap. My surname Liang can only say that you are talented. I'm convinced! I'm completely convinced! From now on, only your leader will follow!"

These two people boasted that they didn't play anymore, Guo Ye couldn't answer the conversation, so he had to change the subject, saying: "Then do you think that this strategy is too simple, will the five noble families be fooled?"

"Yes! Definitely!" Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao replied in unison.

Chapter 1788

Of course, the changes in Changlefang Bank cannot be hidden from the shareholders of Wude Bank.After knowing the news, Li Quan couldn't help laughing.

He said: "Guo Ye is out of luck! Reducing the price to one-third of the original price shows that he wants to fight us head-on. And if the shipment speed slows down, it can only show that he can't resist. Already! We are within sight of victory!"

Zhang Liang said: "Then what should we do? Continue to sell the glassware at the current price?"
