Seeing that Zhu Biao still didn't understand, Han Du simply explained: "Suppose the price of this charcoal from the other side is two hundred and one hundred jin. It originally sold for four hundred and could earn two hundred. Now it sells for three hundred and one kilogram.
One hundred kilograms can only earn one hundred cents. Although the money earned has become less, for those engaged in charcoal making, their income has not actually decreased. Because the price of selling charcoal to the other side is still 20 cents.
One hundred words and one hundred catties.”
Zhu Biao nodded to show that he understood, but he paused and asked a question, "Then if we lower the price, what if the other side continues to lower the price? Once it drops below 200 yuan, will it affect the people at the bottom?
?”
Han Du thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said categorically to Zhu Biao: "No."
"Why?" Zhu Biao frowned.
"Even if it drops below 200 cents, it will not affect the people engaged in charcoal making in a short period of time. Because, now is different from the beginning. It is not low-priced charcoal that is impacting the entire charcoal industry, but the other side is affecting ourselves.
Bloodletting competes with us for financial resources. What they want now is to completely suppress charcoal so that their charcoal sales will not be affected at all and continue to make money. For this purpose, even if the sales price is reduced to 200 cents
Next, they will not lower the purchase price of charcoal. Otherwise, if the people who make charcoal stop selling to them, what will they do to suppress our charcoal?"
"Is this really happening? Is there really such a person who would do such a thing?" Zhu Biao was really incomprehensible.
Would anyone really do such an obvious loss-making business? In his opinion, since the selling price has dropped to less than 200 yuan, the price of collecting charcoal should naturally be lower. Otherwise, wouldn't it be worth taking his own?
Throw money into it and you won't even hear a sound.
Han Du smiled after hearing this but said nothing.
Although Zhu Biao is well-read, his understanding of economics is at a kindergarten level.
Spend money to squeeze out competitors, and then directly monopolize the entire charcoal industry. The huge profits gained in this way are enough to make people jealous. Not to mention, the people opposite have already monopolized the entire capital's charcoal, and they have already made a lot of money. Now.
If a charcoal pops up and wants to take a bite from its bowl, it will naturally be suppressed by others. How can the other party not go crazy if someone divides their wealth?
Don't say it's just a bit of blood, just take some money and throw it away. Even if you fight with us with bare arms, it's natural. It's all earned money anyway, so it doesn't hurt so much if you throw it away.
Seeing Zhu Biao staring at him, Han Du could only smile and said: "Your Highness, Fuqi Trading Company almost monopolized the charcoal sales in the entire capital in the past. It can be said that people made money while lying down. But now ours
However, Shi Tan stepped in. If they want to make money again, it will not be that easy. Anyway, if they want to make money while lying down like before, it will definitely not work. At least they have to look at us and stand.
Make money. In this case, Your Highness, do you think they will be willing? Will they show weakness to us so easily and stand together to make money?"
Zhu Biao was silent for a moment and sighed: "They will not be willing to give up. They will definitely fight tooth and nail."
Han Du clasped his hands together and praised: "Yes, no one will be willing to accept it, and the opponent will definitely fight tooth and nail. Since they are fighting hard, they will also care about whether they make money? As long as they can completely suppress the coal, they will lose money.
If you do more, you will earn it back in the future.”
This is the truth, and the other party must think so.
It's a pity, who in this world doesn't want things to develop according to their own imagination, but looking at ancient and modern times, how many people can do this?
Anyway, the person opposite me definitely can’t do it.
The people of Fuqi Trading Company definitely want to use money to smash the coal to death. In general knowledge, even mining coal costs a lot. The initial expenses, mining and transportation of coal, etc.,
These are all money. Especially transportation, coal is usually in the wilderness, and it is not an easy task to transport it to the city. If it is carried out manually, this alone will cost at least
Accounting for more than 70% of the cost of coal.
But they will not know that Handu has improved the transportation method. It is almost effortless to transport the coal from the mountain to the cement road.
Both Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu knew this.
Otherwise, Lao Zhu would not have set the price of charcoal so low. It was because, even at that price, Han Du could make money.
Han Du saw that Zhu Biao had been hesitating, so he said directly: "Your Highness, lower the price. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Originally, I did not dare to sell at a low price because it would have an impact on the charcoal industry. But now that Fuqi Trading Company
If we stand up, even if we lower the price, all the impact will not be on the people engaged in the charcoal industry, but on the Fuqi Trading Company. They have monopolized the charcoal sales in the entire capital for so many years.
, making a lot of money, we should also spend some money to benefit the people."
Whether it is a reduction in the price of charcoal or a reduction in the price of coal, the people will naturally benefit.
Since Fuqi Trading Company dares to go against him and insists on seeking death, Han Du doesn't mind allowing him to do so.
Zhu Biao did not speak, he looked hesitant and looked unhappy. After a moment, he asked: "If we follow the price reduction and fight with each other endlessly, what will be the result?"
What else could the outcome be? Of course, it would be death without a burial place.
Han Du did not say these words, but just looked at Zhu Biao blankly. No wonder Zhu Biao can be called "merciful and generous" in history. This is indeed kind enough. Others have shown their sharp weapons and are ready to fight with their lives.
. He was actually still thinking about what the outcome would be on the other side.
Han Du was silent in the face of Zhu Biao's scorching eyes. After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Highness, crying all the way is better than crying as a family. Taking this opportunity, the price of carbolic charcoal can be lowered to benefit the people, and it will not affect people in the industry.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing that people who make charcoal have a big impact, so we can’t expect too much.”
After saying that, Han Du looked at Zhu Biao with a meaningful look.
In Han Du's words, he never mentioned the situation on the other side from the beginning to the end. You can know the outcome of the other side without asking.
Zhu Biao's wisdom is far beyond ordinary people, and he naturally understands it as soon as he hears it.
Although Han Du's words made sense, Zhu Biao still couldn't bear it.
From Han Du's point of view, the enemy on the other side came to cut off his wealth, so it was good to be a dead Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist. But in Zhu Biao's opinion, the opposite side was also one of his people, so he was forced to a dead end.
