Speaking of business, Xue Caiyi frowned slightly and said, "I haven't been doing very well recently. I was just thinking about asking Brother Yuwen to help me figure out what to do!"
"Oh? Tell me, what's the bad idea?" Xia Yu said.
Xue Caiyi poured wine for Xia Yu, put down the wine bottle, and said: "To be honest with brother Yuwen, when I first came to Hailuo City, I made great efforts to reorganize the interior and opened several new shops.
I thought I could open up the situation, but now the effect is not as good as expected..."
"Why is that?" Xia Yu asked. "It's not that there is no effect at all. The effect was good at the beginning, but it was not so good in the past month..." Xue Caiyi sighed and said, "The main reason is because of Nan
The Water Chamber of Commerce is expanding aggressively. Just this past month, they have opened more than a dozen new buildings in Hailuo City.
stores. Moreover, their stores are competing with us at very low prices. Our normal stores simply cannot compete with them. At their prices, we can only sell at a loss, but this kind of loss-making business is impossible.
Made for a long time..."
"This is a price war..." Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, "The Nanshui Chamber of Commerce plans to enter the southwest market, and Hailuo City should be their first stop. They invest regardless of the cost in order to start their business in the south.
The Water Merchants Association’s brand...Are their stores very popular now?
"Yes..." Xue Caiyi nodded, "And they seem to be targeting us deliberately. The new stores opened by the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce are all located very close to our stores, and they sell the same type of products."
However, the price is much lower than ours, so many of the customers who were originally from our store
They are all attracted to them."
"How is the quality of their products?" "I specifically asked people to buy them and have a look. Their low-priced products cannot be said to be bad, but the quality is not as good as ours, but many people can't tell the difference.
I went for their low prices. Even if I can tell the difference, I still think theirs is more affordable and the items are slightly smaller.
It's almost acceptable..." "This is the trick of low-price competition..." Xia Yu couldn't help laughing. He remembered that he had heard of such things before. Under the guidance of the pursuit of "high cost performance"
, some brands deliberately hit the market with extremely low prices in order to increase sales, eventually squeezing out their peers and putting their own lives at risk.
They are exhausted. Some are lucky enough to survive, but because the profits are too low, the quality of products and services cannot keep up, causing a lot of follow-up problems, and eventually even affecting the entire industry. This is a typical vicious situation
Competition. After all, business activities must be profitable. Profits can be squeezed, but they must not disappear. Otherwise, quality and service will definitely disappear with profits. In the end, both businesses and consumers will lose. The truth behind this is that many people
I don’t even understand. Or even if I understand, I have to
Go with the flow.
Now Xue Caiyi is encountering the same situation. Hailuo City belongs to the southwest region and was originally the territory of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce. However, the branch of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce here was not managed well, which led to the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce also reaching out to make money, so
, the original Hailuo City was the joint territory of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce and the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce. After Xue Caiyi arrived, he vigorously rectified the
Within the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, the entire Hailuo branch has a completely new look. Coupled with the name of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, if there are no big problems, it will definitely develop better and better in the future, slowly squeezing the market of the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce. However,
The Nanshui Chamber of Commerce doesn’t want to give up either.
Hailuo City is a piece of fat. They even want to go one step further and enter the entire southwest market through Hailuo City as a springboard. Therefore, they must take countermeasures. Ordinarily, the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce is also a large chamber of commerce, and the harm to vicious competition is also
I know, but
However, they have no home field advantage in Hailuo City. Facing Xue Caiyi's steady attack, they can only play the role of "spoiler", using a period of losses to make money, and first bring down the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and then they will think of a solution.
Clean up the mess.
Xia Tianyu rubbed his chin and asked: "Where is the City Lord's Mansion? Have you ever sued the South Water Chamber of Commerce?"
"Gone..." Xue Caiyi sighed, "The people in the City Lord's Mansion initially found various reasons to shirk it, and then they simply said they didn't care... I think they are deliberately condoning the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce." Xia Yu smiled slightly.
, "This kind of vicious competition in business will not only damage your interests, but also bring losses to Hailuo City. It stands to reason that the City Lord's Mansion should avoid this situation, since the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce can open more than a dozen stores in a row.
To target you, this shows that they have obtained the city lord
The consent of the government, at least the tacit consent... Caiyi, isn’t your chamber of commerce well-informed? Have you heard anything? "
Xue Caiyi nodded, "I've heard something about it, but I'm not sure yet... I heard that the son of Diao Xiongxin, the general manager of the Hailuo branch of the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce, has been very close to the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion recently..."
"Diao Xiongxin's son?" Qiao Xiaopang asked while eating next to him, "Is he the fool named Diao Juhua?"
"Yes..." Xue Caiyi nodded, "The eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion is Yue Xifeng. She seems to have some conflicts with you."
"Haha, yes, yes, that Diao Juhua is not a good bird either..." Qiao Xiaopang said angrily, "Last time Yuwen and I wanted to eat from him, he actually followed Yue Xifeng to come to us and cause trouble.
We ran away before we finished our meal! I will definitely find this place again if I have the chance.
"What Qiao Xiaopang said was that when he and Xia Yu first came to Hailuo City, they happened to meet Diao Juhua, who entertained guests at Wangyue Tower because his cousin Gongyang Tongzhi was on the rookie list.
Based on the principle of "Don't take advantage of the bastard", I ordered a large table of dishes, but I didn't know that the two of them had just eaten half of it.
Yue Xifeng came over to look for trouble, and Diao Juhua also followed Yue Xifeng to attack the two of them. The two did not want to cause trouble, so they ran away. Xia Yu also saved An Jingxu, a disciple of the Liuyun Sect. The general situation of this incident,
Xue Caiyi also knew it. She smiled bitterly and said with some frustration: "I have always heard that Diao Juhua pursued Yue Xifeng so hard.
No, for some reason recently, Yue Xifeng seems to have changed his mind, and his relationship with Diao Juhua has improved. The Diao family was originally a local family in Hailuo City, and now they have a relationship with the city lord's palace. Diao Xiongxin is also a member of the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce.
Chief manager here, if you think about it this way, it is reasonable for the City Lord’s Mansion to want to support the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce, alas..."
