Soon, Liu Jin came out with Li's Hui Salt. After thinking about it, he didn't continue to visit the salt market. Instead, he ordered people to buy salt. Except for the salt from the high-end market, he bought 100 kilograms of all other salts. .
"Sir, what are we going to do with the extra salt we buy?"
At Liu Jin¡¯s house, Li Jiye looked at the bags of salt piled up in the yard and asked in confusion.
¡°You¡¯ll find out later~¡±
Liu Jin smiled and said mysteriously.
Soon, the servants from Liu Jin¡¯s house came over with scales, dustpans and other things.
"Check the weight first~"
Liu Jin took out a paper and pen, drew a grid on the paper, and wrote a lot of things on the grid. The store name, salt type, weight, net weight, and price were written on the horizontal row, and the vertical row on the far left was The names of salt shops were listed one after another, including Li's Hui Salt, Zhang's Snow Salt, Chen's Salt Shop, etc.
This is a very common table in later generations. It is most commonly used for comparative data analysis. It can make comparisons very intuitively, allowing people to clearly see the comparison of categories.
"Li's Hui salt, weighing eighty-five pounds~"
Following Liu Jin¡¯s instructions, the servants began to get busy.
"Haha~ the real weight of one hundred kilograms of salt is only eighty-five kilograms. Isn't this shortfall of one kilogram or two kilograms too big?"
Hearing this number, Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.
Being short of a jin or a few ounces is almost a must-learn skill in salt stores and grain stores. Very few stores can give you a full jin of a ounce. Unless you are a very familiar person, you will be short of a jin or a few ounces. This is considered routine. Operated.
"Zhang's Snow Salt Shop, weighs ninety-five pounds~"
Even the store that specializes in selling snow salt from Changlu Salt Farm is also short of jin or two, but it is only 5 jins less than 100 jins. The shortage is not too serious, but it still makes Li Jiye's face look a little ugly.
Changlu Saltworks has repeatedly emphasized that there should be no shortage of jin or ounces. Unexpectedly, there are still people who are short of jin or ounces. Although the shortage is very small, they are still missing jins and ounces. This makes Li Jiye very embarrassed because Liu Jin is next to him.
¡°I still have some conscience, at least I¡¯ve gained five pounds~¡±
Liu Jin smiled and wrote the number 95 on the form.
"Chen's Salt Shop, weighing eighty kilograms~"
"Zhao's Salt Shop, weighing eighty-five pounds~"
"Sun's Salt Shop, weighs seventy-five kilograms~"
The salt purchased from each salt shop was weighed one by one, and the data was immediately displayed in front of the eyes. It was so common to be short of a few jin or less. Even weighing nine ounces was considered conscientious. There was only one in Sun's Salt Shop. On the scale of 725, one hundred kilograms of salt is a full twenty-five kilograms less.
"Sure enough, they are all short of each other~"
Liu Jin didn¡¯t seem to be surprised at all, as if he had already expected all this.
"Weigh the net weight~"
Liu Jin smiled and continued to give instructions.
Soon, the servants continued to be busy, taking out the purchased salt from the bags, and then using dustpans to start screening out the sediment.
As the servants were busy, Liu Jin's eyes were opened. These salt merchants did everything they could to make money. Even if they were short of jin or liang, a lot of sand and soil were added to the salt. As the dustpan continued, Through the bumps, a large amount of sand and soil were sifted out.
"Profiteer~"
Liu Jin looked at the sand and soil on the ground and couldn't help but curse.
There is really too much soil, sand, etc. in this salt. It is obviously seeped in intentionally and not accidentally mixed in during the process of making and transporting salt.
"The net weight of Li's Anhui salt is seventy-five kilograms. One hundred kilograms of salt is mixed with five kilograms of sand and soil~"
"Zhang's snow salt, net weight is ninety-five pounds, no sand or soil has penetrated. If you still need it, we will withdraw it directly for you."
"Chen's Salt Shop has a net weight of seventy-five kilograms, and five kilograms of sand has also seeped into it."
"Sun's salt shop has a net weight of sixty-five kilograms. It is so evil that ten kilograms of salt and soil have seeped into it. Is this still a human being?"
After Liu Jin finished counting the numbers, he couldn't help but grab the salt purchased from Sun's Salt Shop and look at it. Although he had sifted it, he could still see some sand and soil.
"These salt merchants are really wolves that cannot be fed. Such a huge profit is still short of jinshaoliang, and there is sand and mud. It is true that the wolf's heart has been eaten by the dog."
Liu Jin sighed, whoever told me that ancient businessmen valued credibility? Whoever told me that ancient businessmen would never be short of money, stand up and I promise not toKill you.
But soon, Liu Jin discovered another thing. Sun's salt shop, which weighs the most and has the most sand and soil, is the cheapest. It also comes from the Jianghuai area. His salt is the cheapest. Salt even sells for less than 20 cents a pound.
"Sir, the price can be seen, but the weight and quality are difficult to see at once, so low-price strategies are often used to attract people to buy, but in essence, it is still the same."
Li Jiye told Liu Jin what he knew. For ordinary people, he only saw that the price was very low. For the same salt, Sun's Salt Shop cost less than 20 cents per catty, but Li's Hui Salt cost 20 cents per catty. It costs fifteen cents per catty, and your Zhang¡¯s Snow Salt Shop sells it for more than thirty cents per catty.
The common people will naturally go to buy the salt of Sun's salt shop with cheaper prices, because the price has already told you the first subjective, and you come to buy my salt to take advantage.
"It's true that there is no evil and no business~"
Liu Jin suddenly realized, thinking of some business methods of later generations, things like this are not uncommon, like selling vegetables in a wet market, the same price, 3 yuan each, 2 yuan each, which one would you buy?
Most people will choose to buy 2 yuan vegetables, but the 2 yuan vegetables may be short of weight. In fact, they are the same as the 3 yuan vegetables. This is a method and means of businessmen.
"Since they want to play with us on price, then we will play with them to the end and notify them that the sales price of salt in Changlu Salt Farm will be reduced to five cents per catty~"
Then Liu Jin thought for a while and gave instructions to Li Jiye.
"Yes~"
Li Jiye nodded quickly and started asking people to notify various places.
As the price of salt in the Changlu Saltworks dropped to five cents per pound, the news soon spread to major salt merchants such as Cheng Bo'an, Zhu Benduan, and Feng Xiang. Without hesitation, they also chose to follow the price reduction again, and all the salt in their hands was As long as there is competition with Changlu Salt Farm, the selling price of salt will be reduced by five cents per catty again.
"The price has dropped, but the shortage is more, and there is more sand and soil seeping out."
A few days later, Liu Jin once again asked people to buy salt from various salt stores, and once again conducted statistics and analysis on the salt.
Soon, Liu Jin discovered that the price of salt in these salt shops was reduced by five cents per catty, but the shortage was even worse, and at the same time, more sand and soil seeped out.
"Reduced by five cents per catty~"
Liu Jin gave another order, and the price of salt in Changlu Salt Farm began to drop again, once again lowering it to five cents per pound.
And soon, the price of ordinary salt on the market began to drop again, also by five cents per catty. Now the salt on the market only costs less than fifteen cents per catty.
However, again, Liu Jin asked people to buy salt and conducted statistics and analysis on the salt. It was no surprise.
As the price dropped, the shortage of these salt merchants became even more severe. At the same time, more sand and soil seeped out. Even some black-hearted salt merchants only had half the jin liang, and a lot of sand had seeped into it. inside.
"Haha, start a price war with me and I will kill you~"
"Your weakness is the lack of control over final sales. You can sell it to these terminal sales salt merchants for five cents per pound, but these salt merchants, for their own benefit, will not really follow you to lower prices. Too much, it¡¯s not enough, and it¡¯s filled with mud and sand.¡±
"Even if the price is negotiated to a certain extent, the shortage is too great and there is too much sediment. No matter how much you lower the price, it will be useless."
After analyzing the data, Liu Jin suddenly laughed happily.
??????????????????????????????????????????? out out out the price war, it would definitely lead to heavy losses in the end, but now Liu Jin is not worried at all.
Big salt dealers lack control over terminal sales. They can sell to the merchants on the next level at a lower price, and the merchants on the lower level can also sell to the terminal sales merchants at a lower price.
But as prices drop, these terminal sales merchants have less room to maintain their original profits, and then they have to start cheating on a large scale, missing items, leaking sand, and so on.
¡°If you let me know, the price will be reduced to five cents per catty, and I¡¯ll see how long you can play with it.¡±
"The salt from my Changlu Salt Farm sells for twenty-five cents per catty, and I can still make money. When the weather gets hotter, my salt can be even cheaper. I want to see how long you can support it."
Liu Jin smiled, knowing the opponent's weaknesses, it would not be difficult to win this price war.
At first, the price was reduced by five cents, five cents, and then Liu Jin prepared to slowly lower the price with them by one cent, then one cent, and engage in a price war. In the face of controlling terminal sales and strong production, he was simply seeking death. .
