Chapter 130 Xu Huizhen asks for help
In the next few days, Xu Huizhi started a price war against the civilian canteen according to the method taught by Chen Xueru.
The price of wine in the tavern is always two cents lower than that in the ordinary canteen.
There was no visible effect at first, but as the prices continued to fall, the effect immediately appeared. The originally empty tavern became crowded again.
Chen Xueru’s analysis is good.
Whether it is a civilian canteen or a pub, they were originally aimed at the lower-class people, especially those workers who do hard work. It is not easy for them to earn money. If they can drink the same wine with less money, why wouldn’t they agree!
The key point is that this tavern has crosstalk, popularity, and the experience... doesn't seem to be bad either.
Although Xu Huizhi felt sorry for the money, she was happy to see more and more people coming to the tavern to drink. Now the price was still a little higher than the cost price, but when you add it up, she made quite a bit of profit.
In comparison, the civilian canteen was still affected to some extent.
After a quick inquiry, Xu Huizhen found out that all the people who had originally come to her place to drink had gone to her sister Xu Huizhi's pub, and the reason was that the price there was cheaper than hers!
Xu Huizhen also tried to lower the price several times, but found that every time she lowered the price by one cent, the tavern's price would follow suit. Seeing that the price was only half of the original price and was about to lose money, Xu Huizhen became quite anxious.
She couldn't understand why her cousin Xu Huizhi wanted to compete with her for no reason and even suppress her to death. The key point was that this way, Xu Huizhi wouldn't make much money.
"Dad, what do you think we should do about this?"
That night, after getting off work, Xu Huizhen walked up to He Daqing again and couldn't help but ask for advice.
Nowadays, the price of alcohol has dropped to cost price, which means that we are operating at a loss every night. After all, we have to pay extra fees to the waiters and crosstalk performers.
She was just acting as the canteen manager. If the canteen didn't improve, then she would obviously not be able to be the agent. Moreover, He Daqing might even be implicated.
"Someone is trying to mess with us!"
After hearing this, He Daqing couldn't help but frown.
Based on his understanding of Xu Huizhi and He Yongqiang, these two people would definitely not be able to come up with such a dirty trick. It is obvious that there is someone behind them directing them.
"How about I go to Huizhi and talk to her?"
Xu Huizhen said with a frown.
"If your sister was easy to talk to, she wouldn't have started a price war with us!"
He Daqing snorted, thought for a moment, then looked at Xu Huizhen and said with a smile,
"Huizhen, look, it's so troublesome for us to buy goods from Niulanshan. Not only is the journey far, but the cost is also quite high. Since the tavern is selling at almost the cost price, we might as well buy directly from them!"
Haha, I’ve never seen a pig run, but I have eaten pork.
Although He Daqing did not have any special abilities in his previous life, he had heard a lot of stories about economics.
This kind of price war may be a problem for Xu Huizhen, but for He Daqing, it is no problem at all.
"Ah? Buying from the tavern?"
Xu Huizhen, who was originally frowning, looked at He Daqing in disbelief when she heard this. Even though she was smart, she felt that He Daqing was a little too absurd for a moment.
Now the taverns have become my competitors, how can I still sell their goods? Isn't this subsidizing them?
"I understand!"
However, it was Xu Huizhen after all.
After a little thought, Xu Huizhen suddenly realized.
She looked at He Daqing excitedly.
"Dad, what you mean is that we should buy as much as they sell. The price is the cost price anyway, and we can save time and manpower. When they can't hold on any longer, we will release this batch of goods. We can make a lot of money by buying and selling!"
"Smart!" He Daqing gave Xu Huizhen a thumbs up.
Sure enough, my daughter-in-law is a good business person!
Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu, who were sitting on the side, were completely confused. As outsiders, they couldn't understand the logic at all.
"Dad, you've worked hard all day, come, let me give you a massage!"
Xu Huizhen has been worried these days. After all, the cafeteria is not her asset. If it loses money, she cannot afford the consequences.
But after hearing He Daqing’s analysis today, I suddenly felt like everything was enlightened.
So happy!
If it weren’t for my father-in-law’s advice, I wouldn’t know what to do!
So, Xu Huizhen didn't care about He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu standing beside her, and walked directly behind He Daqing to massage his shoulders and cervical vertebrae.
My father-in-law has helped me so much, I must express my gratitude!
"My daughter-in-law is good at handling things!"
He Daqing enjoyed the massage from his daughter-in-law and felt very happy.
In the next few days, with He Daqing's guidance, Xu Huizhen had no worries.
She specifically found a few unfamiliar faces, and whenever the tavern opened, they would buy jars of it in the name of banquets or other restaurants.
And all these wines will eventually be delivered to the canteen.
At the beginning, Xu Huizhi and He Yongqiang didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In the past, many families bought wine from them for banquets, and now that the price in the tavern has fallen, it is understandable that more people come to buy wine.
But as wave after wave of people came to purchase goods, Xu Huizhi and He Yongqiang were a little overwhelmed.
After all, these wines were transported back from Niulanshan by He Yongqiang with great effort every day, which is not an easy journey. The key is that now they are almost sold at cost price.
In other words, He Yongqiang bought wine from Niulanshan and as soon as it arrived at the tavern, he sold almost all of it to these big customers the next day.
He Yongqiang didn't make any money from the trip, which meant he became a free transportation worker.
Moreover, due to the increase in these big customers, the amount of alcohol they supply to customers coming to the tavern is no longer enough, which seriously affects the normal operation of the tavern.
"Something's wrong, something's very wrong!"
Even a young and inexperienced person like He Yongqiang noticed that something was wrong.
"Wife, there haven't been many weddings or funerals in our city recently. There are too many people coming to buy wine. Do you think someone is messing with us?"
He Yongqiang frowned and looked at Xu Huizhi.
I work hard running back and forth every day, but I don’t make a penny, and instead the tavern is affected. Isn’t that infuriating?
"Yeah, it's definitely not normal."
Xu Huizhi also frowned, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.
The next day, when a group of people came to her house to drink again, Xu Huizhi was cautious and asked He Yongqiang to follow them to see what was going on.
