Although Du Feng took part of it, there was still a large amount of profit left, and this was still under the 15% discount.
"Brother Du, are we really going to raise the price tomorrow?"
Arré saw that business was so good and began to consider whether to raise the price tomorrow. Because if the price was raised tomorrow, there wouldn't be as good business as today. Anyway, the cost wasn't high, and a 15% discount was still very profitable. Why not continue with the 15% discount?
"According to the agreement, the price will still be 5% tomorrow."
Du Feng understood human nature too well, and he also understood the rules of business. If the 15% discount was still the same tomorrow, then the customers who bought the weapons today would feel that they had suffered a loss. Moreover, even if the 15% discount continued, the profits would still be small.
It was okay for the opening event to be cheaper than others, but if it continued to be so cheap, then other shops wouldn't be able to operate. Then, even if they died, they would drag the customers down with them, and then everyone would suffer.
Therefore, the original 10% discount today became 15% because of the thieves, but it had to be increased to 5% tomorrow, and the original price would be restored the day after tomorrow. The final price of the weapons was about the same as the other shops nearby. At most, the quality would be better than theirs, and the service would be more enthusiastic.
The ultimate goal of opening a shop was to make money, not to serve the people. If they really wanted to serve the people, then it would be better to just give the weapons away for free.
Today's high sales could only happen when there was an event. Normally, if the sales were so high, then there would be competitors coming to buy the goods at a low price. When the time came, there wouldn't be enough goods to sell, and they would have to work hard to restock. In the future, there would be a cycle in which there would be a shortage of goods in the market, and others would increase the price. At that time, it would be the same as running errands, and the money would be earned by others.
Just like today's 15% discount event, it was also suddenly decided, and the competitors weren't mentally prepared for it. If they continued with the event tomorrow, they would definitely be prepared. Even if they didn't come to buy the goods themselves, they would find a group of people pretending to be ordinary people to buy the goods. You can't say no, right?
Therefore, the price would be raised to 5% tomorrow. Although it was still a little discount, the discount wasn't that big. It wouldn't be a big deal for ordinary people to buy one or two weapons, but if there were competitors buying the goods in bulk, such a small price difference wouldn't be worth buying.
"I understand now. I wouldn't be able to do it without you."
Arré nodded repeatedly. In terms of doing business, even ten of him couldn't compare to Du Feng. In fact, this was an overestimation. Even if there were a hundred of him doing business, he would not be able to compete with Du Feng. Doing business was different from fighting. As long as everyone is strong and strong, no matter how talented you are, as long as we have the numbers and are not afraid of death, we will be of some use.
Doing business was different from fighting. Smart people who knew how to do business could easily fool a group of uncouth men who didn't know how to do business, no matter how many people they had. This was because there was also a principle of leverage. Smart people could use a small amount of money to leverage a large market.
Arré listened to him stupidly. He didn't know how much he could understand about Du Feng's business. However, Ni Hui and Ni Mei were listening to the story with great interest. Ni Mei, in particular, was very smart, smarter than many human cultivators. She didn't have the opportunity to meet businessmen before, but now that she met Du Feng, things were different.
In fact, Du Feng could see that Ni Hui and Ni Mei must have learned more than Arré. As long as he controlled the supply in Sea City, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, Arré was so good to Ni Hui, and she wouldn't easily betray this family.
The next day, there were still many people coming to the shop to buy weapons. They were hoping that there would be thieves today and they could get a 15% discount. Even if there were no thieves, they could at least get a 10% discount. However, Du Feng was very strict. He said that he would get a 5% discount, so he kept it.
Of course, a 5% discount was not as attractive as a 15% discount, but it was more or less a small discount. Since they were already here, some people bought weapons along the way. After all, there were more goods here, so there were more types to choose from. When the price was about the same, they could buy a style that they liked, which was not bad.
As expected, there was a strange customer in the shop today. He came up and said that he wanted to buy a lot of weapons in bulk and asked for a lower price. In fact, some of these people might have more family members or were gangsters who really needed a lot of weapons and hoped to get a discount.
The other group of people were also here to buy the goods. If Du Feng continued to give them a big discount, they would definitely buy all the goods and stock up.
However, Du Feng wouldn't make such a mistake. He strictly implemented the 5% discount today and restored the full price tomorrow. From tomorrow on, the retail price would be the full price, and the wholesale price would be 5% discount according to the quantity. If the quantity was really large, he could give a little more discount if he wanted to pay a deposit and order in advance.
The stock in the shop was absolutely not allowed to be bought at a low price. If a large number of goods were bought by others, it would inevitably affect the choice of regular customers, which would only affect the reputation of the shop.
Arré was only strictly following Du Feng's instructions. In fact, he didn't quite understand the principle. Ni Mei was the first to understand it, and she even taught it to her sister, Ni Hui. The two sisters learned very quickly and had already begun to manage the shop.
On the third day, Du Feng came as usual, but he didn't do anything. He just sat on a chair and watched. Ni Hui and Ni Mei were very busy in the shop, and Arré was responsible for the physical labor of carrying things. The shop was already on the right track.
Because there was no discount on the third day, naturally, there weren't so many people coming to buy. But because the goods were more complete and the styles were more novel, the business was still better than other shops. If the business continued this way, Arré and his family would soon be able to live a very rich life.
Of course, the old rules were still the same. Every day, Du Feng's share of the sales had to be taken out. If he didn't take out his share, then he wouldn't supply the goods. It wasn't that he needed Arré's share, but to help him better control the shop. If he lost control of the supply, he was afraid that he would end up with nothing.
Arré was infatuated with Ni Hui, but the two sisters, Ni Hui and Ni Mei, seemed to love money. He hoped that they wouldn't make any trouble. If they did something wrong to Arré, they would be enemies the next time they met.
