Chapter 281 Price reduction
"Come on, come and see! Qinji Ironware Shop, 50% off for all goods!"
"Don't miss the steel kitchen knife that costs 100 yuan per person!"
"Qinji Ironware Shop gives back to the people of Chang'an City. Don't miss it when you pass by!"
Accompanied by the shouts of the friends, the Qinji Ironware Shop, which covers a huge area, is full of people.
The people are the smartest, they know very well what is really cheap and what is fake.
Especially now, people who have entered Qinji Ironware Shop have compared the iron prices of other shops.
After confirming that the quality of the Qinji Ironware Shop was fine on the spot, I immediately paid for the purchase without any doubt.
50% off!
This is definitely a loss-making price!
Changsun Chong, who was standing at the door of Qinji Ironware Shop, had his teeth shattered.
If their goods are sold at this price, they will not only have no money to make money, but they will also lose 10% or 20%.
This made him extremely angry.
"It's too much! It's too much! Qin Xiedao is completely hurting people with his original intention.
Relying on their earning a lot of money in Japan and Nanyang, they wanted to use such a low-price method to seize our market.
When we all couldn't handle it and there were only one family left in the east and west markets, he started to raise prices.
This behavior is really disgusting.
Changsun Chong's first reaction was that Qin Xiedao was doing something.
The iron smelting workshop of the Changsun family is the main industry of their family and it is also an industry that has been operating for decades.
Although Changsun Chong doesn't go to the workshop very much, he still has a certain understanding of the situation of the iron smelting workshop.
Obviously, the price of Qinji Ironware Shop is not the normal price in his opinion.
"Brother, do we want to find a few censors to impeach Qin Xiedao, saying that they are disrupting order like this."
Changsun Huan was also in a very unhappy mood.
He is now the actual person in charge of the Changsun family's industry. If Qinji Ironware Shop had been selling at the current price, then no one would have bought anything from his shop.
Even those who bought things recently have to return the goods.
This result is definitely not something he can accept.
"Important! How to impeach? Their things are not sold very expensively, but very cheaply. In this case, there is no way to impeach them.
Do you blame others for selling things that are cheaper and ask them to raise prices?"
Changsun Chong said in a very aggrieved manner.
"Then we can't sit still like this and wait for death. Otherwise, we will also lower the price? Let's see who can't hold on first!"
Changsun Huan definitely doesn't want to sit still and wait for death.
The most urgent task is to change the situation immediately by reducing prices.
"Reduce! Follow the price down immediately!"
...
"Your Majesty, the Changsun family and the Qin family's shops are still selling ironware at low prices.
People in Chang'an City now want to buy ironware first. Some merchants even buy ironware or stainless steel directly from the shops of Changsun and Qin families, and then transport them directly to other places for sale.
If this situation continues, it is estimated that some of them will be unable to support it soon."
Such a big thing happened in Chang'an City, so Li Junxian naturally wanted to report it to Li Shimin.
"I heard that the Ministry of Revenue bought tens of thousands of kilograms of fine steel in one go yesterday?"
"Yes! Now some ministers in the court have begun to propose to launch troops to attack the Eastern Turks, so the Ministry of Revenue has begun to purchase a batch of fine steel in advance.
Anyway, it's such a low price, even if it's not used to make weapons, it can be used to make other ones.
If you miss this wave of discounts, you will have to spend a lot of money at that time."
"That's true! But it's not a solution for them to fight like this!"
The Changsun family is naturally the family that Li Shimin trusts the most, but Qin Xiedao's status in his heart is not low.
Li Shimin was really worried about the palms and backs of his hands.
"Your Majesty, I have heard of a message. I don't know if it's true or false?"
Li Junxian hesitated for a moment, feeling that he would report all the news he knew.
"What news?"
"The Qin family's iron smelting workshop is said to be able to directly smel steel. In other people's workshops, iron is smelted, and then it has to be continuously tempered into fine steel, which is relatively expensive.
However, the Qin family's workshop directly smelted fine steel, so the production cost is naturally much lower.
It is estimated that if the Changsun family’s shop continues to be sold at a low price, the Qin family’s shop may have to be reduced again.”
“There is still a price cut?”
Although Li Shimin really wanted to see the price drop in the Tang Dynasty.
But now this situation is a bit beyond his imagination.
...
"Aye, Qin Ji Iron Shop adjusted the price this afternoon and launched a buy one get one get one free on the basis of the original 50% off, which is equivalent to directly cutting the price halved.
At such a price, let alone making money, we don’t even have enough materials fees, so what should we do?”
When Qinji Ironware Shop lowered its price again, Changsun Chong was completely panicked.
He no longer has the determination and courage to lower the price.
The most important thing is that such a low price will definitely attract a large number of people to buy goods. At that time, the losses that the Changsun family will have to bear will be huge.
"The court should soon send troops to attack the Eastern Turks, and a large number of weapons will definitely be needed at that time.
Tomorrow, I would like to say hello to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War to see if I could ask them to buy a batch of swords from us directly.
In this way, we will try our best to avoid a price war with the Qin family."
Changsun Wuji has naturally been paying attention to the competition outside these days.
He was quite clear-headed and knew that he should not be a match for the Qin family now.
If you bite the bullet and lower the price, you will lose all the money you earned in the previous years.
This is not the scene he wants to see.
"We are going to fight against the Eastern Turks? Aye, can we find a way to let Qin Xiedao go to war?"
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Changsun Chong immediately came up with an idea.
"This is not necessary for your father. Qin Xiedao will take the initiative to propose it, and Your Majesty will definitely think of him.
However, Qin Xiedao's martial arts skills are said to have few opponents in Chang'an City. Even if he goes to war, he may become a contribution to him."
Changsun Wuji's words were very shocking.
But this is a fact.
He doesn't want to mislead his son.
"The sword has no eyes. No matter how good Qin Xiedao's martial arts are, it will be useless. With his personality, he will definitely like to charge in the battle. If we arrange for people to shoot cold arrows behind us, no one will be able to discover it."
Changsun Chong showed a sinister smile on his face.
