"I bought 20 kerosene lamps and thermos bottles. There is a record of it, and I left my fingerprint on it."
Li Longji left and came over to ask about politics.
Many businessmen gathered beside Ba Qiao. They were the people who bought kerosene lamps and thermos bottles before.
They need to buy bicycles, but they can't produce an 'invoice'. They can only think of ways to prove it.
Li Family Zhuangzi's men wrote a contract stating what shop the other party opened and where it was located.
Then they must sell the bicycles to the people who sold the thermos bottles and kerosene lamps. If not, they must compensate the Li Family Zhuangzi ten times the price.
This condition cannot be broken, or else it will not show the status of the people who bought the bicycles.
The businessmen wrote and left their fingerprints on the contract.
After paying, they will receive the bicycles. The contract is completed.
After that, the people who bought kerosene lamps and thermos bottles will have to hold them for more than a year before they are allowed to buy Li Family Zhuangzi's bicycles.
After buying the bicycles and holding them for more than a year, they will be allowed to buy the new products from Li Family Zhuangzi.
If they do not buy the bicycles now, they will have held them for more than two years in a few months.
Otherwise, how can a bicycle be sold for 1,000 Liang? How many cows and horses can you buy with this amount of money?
The bicycles are not the only things that can be bought. It is also an express channel. Once there is something good, they can buy it immediately.
So more people came to buy kerosene lamps and thermos bottles. They will be able to buy them in a few days. After that, they will have to wait for a year.
The people who bought the bicycles are relieved. They are not in a hurry to buy the bicycles. They will wait for the second batch.
"Everyone, do you know? You must learn and study Li Family Zhuangzi's operating methods and improve. "
Bi Goo ran to the Ministry of Revenue and held a meeting with all the officials. He wants to learn from Li Family Zhuangzi how to make money.
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue listened carefully. They have to admit that Li Yi has a special way of making money.
The kerosene lamps and thermos bottles are now priced at 500 Liang for a set and 300 Liang for a separate set.
It was expensive. Not just ordinarily expensive.
In the end, the people who did not buy the bicycles before went to Li Family Zhuangzi to buy them because of the bicycles and Li Family Zhuangzi's promotion.
He didn't feel like he was spending money to buy something. He was getting it for free. If he went to bowl it, he wouldn't be able to get it.
What else was there to say after doing business to such an extent?
"Bi Zaifu, will we be able to earn money if we learn it?" Someone raised his hand.
"Aren't the noodles for sale? The sales volume has dropped because other people are grinding more flour at a lower price. If there's a profit, they'll sell it. Why can't we? "
When Bi Goo talked about this, his heart ached.
Li Yi's idea was to sell the noodles, and the Li Family Zhuangzi would help to process the flour.
When there was no competition, the Ministry of Revenue was the biggest. The Li Family Zhuangzi only sold instant noodles, not noodles.
As more and more people used hand-cranked and pedal-powered flour grinding machines, some people bought dozens of them and hired people to process all kinds of flour every day.
After that, he also made noodles, moist noodles, dumpling wrappers, wonton wrappers, and shumai wrappers.
Customers could make an appointment, and delivery service was also provided. Even if it was just a catty of noodles, there would be someone who would deliver it to their home if they agreed on a certain day.
The price was lower than the Ministry of Revenue, and the service was better. In an instant, the Ministry of Revenue's business was snatched away.
More importantly, the Ministry of Revenue still paid taxes. After the taxes were deducted, there were still profits.
The Ministry of Revenue became less and less. Some officials were too embarrassed to buy noodles from the Ministry of Revenue. They treated it as giving face to Bi Goo.
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue lowered their heads. They had no other choice. If they lowered the price again, they would lose money. They didn't know how other people could sell their noodles at such a low price.
"Bi Zaifu, I think it's because the Li Family Zhuangzi is paying too much for the flour." Someone raised his hand.
"The Li Family Zhuangzi is not selling. They are collecting processing fees. Do you think we can save money by buying our own flour grinding machines and processing our own flour?"
Bi Goo didn't think that Li Yi was cheating people. Li Yi didn't need to play tricks for a small amount of money.
He just couldn't understand. If other people's prices were low, how could they make profits?
"Zaifu, let's force some people to buy the Ministry of Revenue's noodles. What do you think? Otherwise, we'll check their accounts and recalculate the taxes. "
A smart person appeared and thought of a good idea. They used the imperial court's name to force the soup pancake shops to buy the noodles.
Bi Goo looked over in surprise. "Very good. You go. When Li Yi impeaches you, don't say that I didn't help you."
"Zaifu, go and ask Li Yi. We really can't do anything." The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue said. Boss, you go.
"Sigh!" Bi Goo sighed.
After work at night, he asked someone to send the seafood he raised home. He also told his family that he wouldn't be going back.
… …
"Xiao Yi, it's not that I want to criticize you, but how can you cheat the Ministry of Revenue for a small profit?"
Bi Goo went to the Li Family Zhuangzi and sat at the table in the cafeteria. In front of him was a bowl of rice noodles.
The rice noodles were made from new indica rice. Li Yi deliberately made them with extra rice seeds.
Indica rice that matured in 50 days didn't taste good. It was made into rice noodles. If it worked, everyone would eat rice noodles, big rice pancakes, and rice noodles in the future.
The two of them sat across from each other. There was a clay pot in the middle with things around it. Li Yi was slowly putting them in.
He was eating authentic rice noodles. They weren't boiled, they were hot.
At that time, he didn't boil a lot of spicy soup with traditional Chinese medicine. He boiled it with plain water and added some seasoning and chili oil.
The Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles had also changed. They were also boiled. After boiling, he added a small spoon of watercress, which was made from broad beans.
Spicy soup saved money on traditional Chinese medicine. The rice noodles didn't need to be boiled into chicken soup.
What he was eating now was not. There was a layer of chicken oil on top. It didn't look like much steam was coming out. If he put his finger in, he would know how hot it was.
Li Yi put the meat in first. When the meat was cooked, he looked up at Bi Goo. "Old Bi, are you trying to blackmail me? Let's talk about something. Don't accuse me right away. "
"You are unreasonable even if I talk about something. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Bi Goo stared. "The noodles sold outside are cheaper than the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue can't sell anymore."
"Oh, state-owned enterprises have never done private enterprises? That's normal.
Making noodles privately is to make money. Every aspect has to be considered.
Who in the Ministry of Revenue would be willing to spend so much effort? It's not like they can make more money. It's a thankless task.
Did any of the people hired by the Ministry of Revenue have been introduced by officials? Quite a few, right? "
Li Yi began to put in the ham, vegetables, and prepared to add the rice noodles at any time. The rice noodles were put in last. The rice noodles made with traditional methods were cooked.
There were no quail eggs, so he put in two boiled and peeled eggs.
This way, they were cooked. The temperature was still very high, so it had to be eaten slowly. It had to be dipped in sesame oil, chili oil, aged vinegar, soy sauce, sesame paste, etc.
Bi Goo watched Li Yi's operation and felt a sense of enjoyment. "And then? How did others make money? "
He wanted to figure out why his cost was so high for the same operation and what went wrong.
"Other people's noodles don't make money. They have to pay taxes. Once the taxes are deducted, the sales price will be lower than the cost.
Other people don't expect to make money from dry noodles. They sell wet noodles, dumpling wrappers, and other things to make money.
Their goal is to have a market share. When they suppress others, the price of dry noodles will increase. At least they can keep their capital. "
Li Yi looked at Bi Goo helplessly. You have been learning from me for so long, and you don't even know about economic warfare? The other party had launched an attack.
