The third day was an exceptionally sunny day. The skylight generously poured down from the blue sky and fell on Lin Sanjiu’s shoulders. When he walked out of the Big Cat Hotel, the owner of the pancake shop next door immediately came out enthusiastically.
The head greeted her: "...are you going out?"
"Yes," she smiled and nodded, looking very amiable under the McDuck imitation: "How is business today?"
"That's great! The pancake shops on the other roads are not good. Without eggs, they can't be sold at all." The owner of the pancake shop happily knocked on the shovel in his hand, "I heard that eggs have been out of stock in the market recently, and the price
It's also rising so much that I was a little worried at first, but I didn't expect that you are so powerful that you were able to prepare a batch of eggs for me so quickly... This time it's really thanks to you."
Lin Sanjiu smiled, put his hands in the pockets of his bathrobe, and walked towards Yunlai Exchange.
The owner of the pancake shop came to her yesterday and told her that there were no eggs in his shop and business was not going well. Although he was speaking in a roundabout way, the meaning was quite clear: it seemed that he was afraid that Lin Sanjiu would not be able to deliver the eggs. When he heard this,
, Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything, and immediately gave him all the 50 kilograms of goods he originally ordered, and also said, "This is specially prepared for you in advance," which made the pancake shop owner very grateful.
Giving eggs in advance was certainly not because she wanted to help.
The purpose of hoarding all the eggs on the market is not to make everyone have no eggs to eat, but to let a few people have eggs to eat, artificially turning them into a scarce resource - only in this way can the price go up; if
If there are no eggs at all, then there will definitely be substitutes for eggs. So like the 50 kilograms of eggs sold yesterday, these 50 kilograms are also to better stimulate the market.
If this were a real market, McDuck's method would probably not be effective at all; but the market simulated by Starry Sky Amusement Park is a relatively closed environment, which not only greatly simplifies the complexity, but also has a very high level of efficiency.
Authenticity, this trick was tailor-made for this place.
When Lin Sanjiu walked to Yunlai Exchange, the waiter had already opened the door early; he was almost knocked down by her rushing into the store for two days in a row. Apparently he also learned his lesson. He opened the door five minutes early.
He answered the door and said, "Hey, sir, you are still so punctual! I have good news for you, the price of eggs has increased again! I have also bought the batch of cakes you asked me to collect yesterday, and I am waiting for you to trade for physical strength."
The price of eggs has risen again. Of course, Lin Sanjiu had expected it. She smiled, glanced at the notice board, and saw that the current average market price of eggs had indeed climbed to 2.8 stamina points.
/catty.
...The market has just opened now, and she still has one day to bring the egg price to the price she has agreed with the three manufacturers.
Turning her head, she asked the waiter: "What was the price of yesterday's batch of pastries?"
"There are 120 items in total, and on average each item is 20 points," the waiter smiled enthusiastically: "Including the handling fee, the total is 2472 stamina points. You need to read a book."
"What about the eggs?"
"Hey, you asked. I don't know why, but as soon as the market opened today, the three manufacturers suddenly released several times more eggs than yesterday - a full 115o kilograms! When I made the purchase operation, the price was still the same.
2.6, so your batch of eggs has a total of 3o8o physical points."
Even though he spent so much at once, when Lin Sanjiu sat in his old seat, tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
... Just as she had agreed upon the plan with three egg producers yesterday, they successfully terminated their contracts with four large restaurants; of the 115o kilograms of eggs today, it was obvious that 800 kilograms of them were originally supposed to be supplied to those companies.
Restaurant.
The step of terminating the contract came to Lin Sanjiu, who was in the "McDuck" state, when he had an idea after getting some important information from the manufacturer.
In such a relatively closed market environment, as she analyzed, the competition between the three egg producers is indeed very fierce - the market is only so big, there are only a few target large customers, and there are many manufacturers;
Basically, small merchants cannot digest their production surplus. It has always been a buyer's market - that is to say. The original average egg price of O.6 was reached by three manufacturers after fierce price wars.
The bottom price has been reached.
It is said that before Lin Sanjiu got involved, these three manufacturers had already been worrying about reducing inventory and raising prices. So when the news came to her, she quickly got the answer she wanted.
The contract signed between the manufacturer and the restaurant is an "exclusive supply contract". Logically speaking, the restaurant cannot purchase the eggs on its own outside of the supplier. In order to achieve this exclusive supply condition, the manufacturer even has to sell the eggs.
The price dropped even lower than the market price. However, in a buyer's market, such a contract is not very binding; even if the restaurant finds someone else to purchase the goods, no manufacturer is willing to actually terminate the contract.
...unless manufacturers are prompted by external forces to join forces.
And Lin Sanjiu did exactly this.
The deal Kurosawa proposed at this time was a bait to lure them into taking it, in order to allow the restaurants to buy eggs from him and break the contract first - but if it was just this, there was not much certainty:
If there are smart people who think about the market situation and refuse to eat this batch of eggs, it is very possible.
In order to ensure that none of these restaurants would fall into the trap, Lin Sanjiu came up with a second method.
Under her instructions, the three manufacturers made an "exchange" - each manufacturer sent news to restaurants that were not originally their customers, saying that the price of eggs has risen sharply, and even if they have a contract, they cannot guarantee their original prices.
The egg supplier does not raise prices; however, he is different and is still willing to continue to provide products at lower than market prices, hoping to win over the other party as a customer.
With the second supplier as a fallback, these large stores really relaxed their vigilance, took the bait thrown by Kurosawa Ji, and made a batch of pastries with almost no cost for raw materials.
?When Kurosawa Ji said that he could not buy so much, it was already getting late and it was about to close. In order to sell these pastries as soon as possible, the prices of these restaurants were adjusted accordingly.
The stamina value is a few points lower.
As soon as Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on this batch of pastries, she gave the waiter an instruction to "buy before the market closes."
There are four restaurants in total. The reason why she only sold them two hundred catties through Kurosawa Ji is because the small number is not easy to cause alarm; and the second is because her physical strength is running low. They must control the scale of their production——
Sure enough, with each family only getting a few dozen kilograms of eggs, they could only make 120 pieces of cakes, which she could just afford.
Now, Lin Sanjiu had a total of 2977 physical points, 3300 kilograms of eggs, and 600 pieces of pastries.
"What should we do next?" Teacher Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, the market has just opened now," Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and smiled like a fox - if it weren't for the ability of [Conscious Mimicry], she might never be able to make such an expression in her life.
Lai: "...Give those restaurants some time. It will take them a while to realize that there is no food available today."
Things went more smoothly than Lin Sanjiu expected. Twenty minutes later, the first egg purchase message from one of the four major restaurants appeared on the bulletin board.
This piece of information immediately caused the entire market to explode.
The average egg market price is constantly flashing. After each flash, the number will increase a little higher, and finally reaches an astonishing 5; however, no matter how firmly the price rises, the market inventory always shows "extremely low".
In order to add another spoonful of oil to the fire, Lin Sanjiu immediately released the message "6 stamina points to buy eggs" - and then, her private mailbox was suddenly flooded with messages one after another - the waiter in the shop was busy
I broke out in a sweat, and before a message could be retrieved, three or four more messages had already come in; some expressed admiration for No. 57, some condemned it, and many more were planning to buy some eggs from her.
Lin Sanjiu didn't even reply. She just said, "Except for news from the four major restaurants, you don't need to show me anything else." Then she began to wait patiently.
Finally, half an hour later, the other three restaurants also gave in.
The first person to give her the news was "lips" whom she had dealt with several times.
"I know you don't plan to stay here for a long time, so I will let you succeed this time," the tone of this message was very strong. "...Don't you just want to make a profit and leave? I'll give you the eggs in my hand.
Make a price!"
Lin Sanjiu smiled but didn't reply.
The news from the other two dessert shops was much more kind.
"I don't know what to call you, but let me open the door. Our daily output is large, and the main raw material is eggs, so I hope you can consider it and discuss this deal at a price that is acceptable to both of us.
Business."
Lips restaurant uses the fewest eggs. No wonder they are the toughest. Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and randomly picked out one of the dessert shops called "Mint Leaf" and responded with a question: "How do you like strawberry red lips?"
What do you think of the cake?”
The other party was obviously a little confused, but still quickly replied: "...This is Lips' signature dessert. Even if others get the recipe, they can't make it. It can be said that it is famous."
That's good.
Lin Sanjiu, who was in McDuck mode, had another idea in his mind.
"You have also seen that no store on the market sells eggs now... Not only you, no one can make anything containing eggs."
"Yes, you mean..."
"I can provide you with 20 pieces of strawberry red lip cakes and 200 pieces of other dishes. Each piece of red lip cake has 30 stamina points, and each piece of other desserts has 28 stamina points. To show my sincerity, I promise you the next four
I won’t sell eggs within hours. When I sell eggs, I guarantee that the market price will reach 8 stamina points per catty, how about that?”
Selling when all your competitors are out of stock is already a huge advantage - not to mention, even if your competitors have bought the eggs, due to the cost of their desserts, the selling price will be far from being comparable to your own.
; In almost ten minutes, Lin Sanjiu sold 220 pieces of desserts to "Mint Leaf", and the other party paid the handling fee, and got back 6200 physical points, with a total of 9177 physical points on hand.
Judging from the daily sales simulated by Starry Sky Amusement Park, this can only meet half of the dessert market requirements - however, after Lin Sanjiu teamed up with three egg manufacturers to release a piece of news, the impact was as stormy as waves.
.
"Player No. 57 is currently discussing possible cooperation with egg producers, and plans to acquire three producers on the market and merge them into one. The progress is going smoothly, and it is said that a contract has been signed."
This news seemed like a spark that fell on gasoline, and combined with the various inducements she had laid out before, it finally set off a crazy market - everyone was speculating on what price No. 57 would set after the monopoly;
Due to her radical style these days, the market is generally bullish on future egg prices, so the current egg price has soared to 7.5, which has never been so high.
And the remaining eggs that were deliberately released to the market and the pancake shop had long been tempted and flowed into the market, and then continued to inflate the bubble even more.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Sanjiu waved her hand gently: "It's fat enough, it's time to kill it."
...This time, even Lips finally let go of her arrogance.
Due to some changes, Lin Sanjiu had too much inventory at this time, so she set a minimum purchase amount; the minimum purchase amount reported to Lips and other large restaurants was 400 kilograms, with 8 stamina points per kilogram.
——Three large restaurants except Mint Leaf had no choice but to place orders one after another. Perhaps they were worried that the price of eggs would rise even more outrageously in the future, so the three restaurants ordered a total of 1600 kilograms. Now Lin San
Jiu quickly recovered 12800 points of physical strength and finally earned back the money for the goods.
"I have to move faster," Lin Sanjiu muttered to himself, "Once those egg producers find out that I have set a minimum purchase amount, they will know that I am cheating them... I have to quickly buy the remaining eggs.
All the eggs laid were sold.”
For small businesses, she can neither sell too much nor sell them too expensively; at a price of 6 stamina worth a pound, she finally sold another 700 pounds of eggs - it turns out that everyone thinks that eggs will rise in the future, so
I bought more than usual.
Currently, Lin Sanjiu's physical strength has reached 26,177 points - she has earned the physical strength for clearing the level, and she still has 380 dessert dishes and a thousand kilograms of eggs left.
Almost as soon as the front leg transaction was completed, the back leg egg price suddenly dropped from 7.5 to 4. The occurrence of such a fluctuation shows that the three egg producers finally realized something was wrong: No. 57 was sold at a high price at one time due to market digestion.
capable eggs, then when this batch of eggs is digested, their own egg production will pile up again - it will still be a buyer's market, but this time, they have lost a big customer.
"It's a risk, it's a risk. Next," Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly, exhaled, and asked the waiter to delete hundreds of messages: "I will slowly sell this batch of takeout at a price far lower than the market price.
Dessert and eggs.”
Teacher Yi was already stunned.
"That old duck..." she murmured, "he actually tricked everyone in this market."
"I'm telling you," Lin Sanjiu laughed as if she heard some praise: "Normally I wouldn't dare to do this in business, but now I can just shoot and leave without cheating. It feels really good."
Enjoyable!”
Once you have enough physical strength, the next step is easy.
After using the money to buy all the goods and adding 150 kilograms of eggs, Lin Sanjiu finally paid off all the debts of the merchants on the Pumpkin Road, avoiding the fate of being punished by the Starry Sky Amusement Park.
After her low-price dumping that almost completely disrupted the market, 320 pieces of desserts and 850 pounds of eggs brought her a total of 2815 physical points——
Wearing a newly purchased combat vest and shorts, Lin Sanjiu sat on the pumpkin path and basked in the sun.
When her eyes fell on the figures that appeared in the distance at an unknown time, she jumped up with a smile: "Let's go! I will finish this level for you!" (To be continued.)
