"I'm really sorry, Boss Zhang. Boss Pan and I made a mistake just now.
The latest ex-factory price of our Xiuyi VCD is 4650..."
Zeng Yi's confident words began to echo in everyone's ears.
But now, a group of dealers were dumbfounded.
What the hell?
In just one phone call, the price increased by 150?
At this time, everyone was at a loss.
Let them buy goods from both sides, and they both feel that they are at a disadvantage and are unwilling to give in to the other side.
But if they don't go to them to buy goods, they won't make any profit at all.
Businessmen pursue profit, and it is painful not to be able to make larger profits, but it is even more painful to watch helplessly as they make money but cannot make it.
Boss Zhang, who was in charge of making calls over there, was silent for a long time, and then he casually found a reason to hang up the phone to Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi was not in a hurry and slowly put down his phone, waiting for these dealers to surrender to him.
When these people suppressed their prices before, they should have thought about what it means to have good fortune.
On the other side, Pan Zi and others have already exploded.
"We must not give in to them. Once we give in, the next time we will raise the price to 4,700 or 4,800."
Pan Ziyi appealed to everyone angrily.
However, he was aggrieved by the behavior of Hongbiao and the others, and he never thought that before this, they had relied on the same method to force the other party to lower the purchase price.
As for the current situation, Hongbiao and Xiuyi returned it to Pan Zi and the others in the same way.
Of course, for many dealers, they would not think so much, but responded to Pan Zi's words one after another.
"You're right. Without us, they wouldn't even be able to sell a single VCD."
"We won't buy their high-priced VCDs today, but we will see who can survive who.
In a few days, these people will obediently lower their prices and beg us to buy them."
A boss named Du also stopped talking.
"I put my words here today. If anyone takes the initiative to buy those high-priced goods from Hongbiao and Xiuyi, that is our grandson!"
Under the indignant words of everyone, a group of dealers were so angry that they had no mood to continue talking and scattered back.
It has always been their job to jointly suppress others.
This is the first time someone else has lowered their price.
But under the current situation, they can only go back to their respective homes in frustration, hoping that Hongbiao and Xiuyi will not be able to withstand the pressure first and adjust the price back.
Du Peng, who just announced that whoever gets the goods first will be his grandson, is a dealer in Hongfu Electronics Market.
Compared to other dealers, he looked much worse as he walked into the store.
Because there are so many dealers, he is the only one who has not sold any of Hongbiao's products.
In other words, other people still had some stockpiles to sell during this period, but he could only watch.
Halfway through, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Du Peng, who was not in a good mood, pressed the button directly and put it to his ear without even looking at who it was.
Soon, a familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Boss Du, long time no see."
Du Peng was startled when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone. He carefully looked around and made sure that other dealers who had left did not notice anything unusual about him. Then he covered his phone with his hand.
He quickly walked to his store.
Because the person who called him was none other than Yang Jianguang, Hongbiao’s boss.
When he returned to the store, Du Peng breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a guilty conscience.
"Boss Yang, what's the matter?"
Yang Jianguang smiled and his tone became a little more relaxed.
"That's right, Boss Du. I heard that during this period, many dealers deliberately lowered our prices and refused to buy our VCDs, so I wanted to come to Boss Du to ask about the situation."
"Of course, I know Boss Du's character. I believe this matter must have nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Du Peng immediately felt guilty, because the idea of uniting with local dealers to lower Hongbiao's price was proposed by him and Pan Zi.
"Ahem...Boss Yang, what did you say?
Don’t you know what I, Du Peng, am like? I treat my partners very harshly."
Du Peng patted his chest and said confidently.
"Don't worry, I am absolutely not responsible for this matter. When I found out about this matter, I was very angry. These people made a lot of money relying on our Hongbiao VCD, but they still did such a shameless thing.
It’s really too much.”
Hearing this, Yang Jianguang was immediately in awe and sighed.
"People say that Boss Du has a conscience and a bottom line when doing business. I think he is absolutely right. Boss Du is truly a role model for our Shanghai business community."
Yang Jianguang's praise made Du Peng blush a little.
"This...Boss Yang is over-praised, over-praised."
The two sides complimented each other for a while, and then Yang Jianguang turned to the real purpose of the call.
"Boss Du, let me tell you the truth.
Our main reason is that the material cost of VCD has increased, which has caused our cost price to increase so much.
And according to the manufacturer, our VCD delivery price may have to rise in a few days."
"But one thing is that our sales price is unified across the country, and it still has to be 4,999.
I hope you must understand!”
Hearing these words, Du Peng suddenly turned into a bitter looker.
Are you kidding me?
Now there is no profit at 4600, and it will actually rise in a few days.
"Boss Yang, don't worry.
Our dealers understand this, and we support the price increase."
On the other end of the phone, Du Peng said with a voice that was extremely painful.
understand?
The corners of Yang Jianguang's mouth raised slightly,
If you understand, you won't force us to lower our prices.
Then he coughed lightly and said again.
"However, our headquarters has also said that we must not let Boss Du and you conscientious merchants suffer, so we have decided to use 10 million in cash to specifically reward you partners."
"award?"
Du Peng's eyes lit up, "What kind of reward method?"
"Although Boss Du still purchases goods at the normal price, according to the activities of the headquarters, our partners can get a cash rebate starting from 200 yuan for every VCD sold."
At this moment, Du Peng suddenly began to make calculations in his heart.
Although it is said to start at two hundred, everyone should know that this thing is just like salary. It says how much it starts per month, so it just depends on how much it is.
However, he calculated it and found that even if it was a 200 yuan rebate, with the current purchasing price of 4,600 yuan and the selling price of 4,999, he would still have a profit of close to 600 yuan.
Compared with Pan Zi and the others, it's a huge deal.
Then the two of them talked on the phone again, and they continued talking until the phone became hot before they stopped without finishing.
During this time, Du Peng immediately put aside his previous vows with the dealers and began to discuss with Yang Jianguang how many VCDs he wanted to purchase.
In fact, it was not just Yang Jianguang's side. At the same time, Zeng Yi was also holding a phone and selectively dialed several dealers...
During this period, Pan Zi felt that his business was particularly bleak.
Because whether the store sells VCDs has become a criterion for measuring the quality of the store's products.
When the customer heard that there was not even a VCD in the store, he turned around and left on the spot.
And although I was sure that Hongbiao and Xiuyi would surrender to them in the next few days.
But now one day, two days...a whole week has passed, and the prices of Hongbiao and Xiuyi VCDs have not only not decreased, but have increased to 4,700 yuan per unit.
Looking at the bleak business in the store, Pan Zi felt tormented in his heart. He didn't know whether he should persist or not.
And what confused him the most was that since the last gathering, other dealers seemed to be no longer anxious about the current situation, and no one even contacted him to ask about the situation.
No one has purchased goods from Hongbiao and Xiuyi. It stands to reason that the stock should have been out of stock at this time, affecting business.
Is it possible that they still have VCDs in stock for sale?
But even if there are machines in stock, they should have been sold out by now.
Desperate, Pan Zi could only close his own store door and curiously walked to other stores to inquire about the situation.
