Chapter 861 Profiteer (Part 2)
Chapter 861: The Prodigal Businessman (Chinese)
At the door of Huanxi Chamber of Commerce, Wang Dafu frowned and watched the farce. Because Lin Chong's black lancers had not returned yet, the bored Wang Dafu simply took Xiao Mo and others to relax and inspect his affiliated village. Unexpectedly, he saw a scene that made him angry as soon as he arrived here.
"It's all for this price. Brother Han Luo, if you are not satisfied, I have no choice. Maybe you can go to someone else's shop and take a look." Manager Tao ignored the strong man's anger and said slowly.
"Hmph~~ Don't call me brother, I, Han Luo, don't have brothers like you..." The strong man said viciously when he heard this, and also fully demonstrated the unique straightforwardness and heroism of the grassland nation.
"Whatever you do, I still say the same thing. The tribes in front of them were exchanged in this way. If you are not satisfied, then forget it. But now the price has changed, and now you can only exchange seven trucks of grain," said Tao Zhangguan. He is indeed a person carefully trained by the Huanxi Chamber of Commerce. In this case, he is still extremely calm and speaks very carefully.
However, Wang Dafu's brows frowned even more. The scene in front of him made him feel very angry. He never thought that such a thing would happen in his territory!
In this situation, if an uninformed person is asked to judge the situation, he will definitely say that Han Luo is unreasonable. If you can't accept the price offered by others, then forget it. Could it be that someone will force you? What's more, Manager Tao is still polite and the strong man named Han Luo seems a little aggressive in comparison.
But... Wang Dafu is not an ignorant person. In fact, he has been watching from the beginning. This matter is not a normal business deal at all. It is clearly that this shopkeeper Tao is deliberately suppressing the price and bullying the other party! In the end, it is even more excessive, it is obvious that he bullies others with power.
Shaking his head thoughtfully, Wang Dafu sighed in his heart: "It seems that the side effects brought by the rapid development of Luliu Town have also begun to appear." In recent years, his army has been wandering on the Dangen Mountain Grassland, which has indeed brought countless population and wealth to Luliu Town. At the same time, it is also constantly attacking Luliu Town's competitors. Until now, there is no second market even within a radius of 800 miles.
However, this achievement now seems to have brought a lot of wealth to Luliu Town, but it also brought great hidden dangers to Luliu Town.
Because there are no other markets nearby, the nearby grassland ethnic groups can only trade here. As a result, the merchants at the Tongye Tribe market have no competitors and can unite together to lower the acquisition price and make huge profits from it! They can obtain real "one profit" huge profits.
Wang Dafu had been worried about this kind of thing before, but he didn't expect that it not only became a reality, but the situation was also so serious that it could not even stand it.
Since ancient times, merchants value profit, which is understandable. Now they have such a unique environment, so it is not surprising that they will do such things. Although Wang Dafu is understandable about what is happening in front of him, it does not mean that he is acceptable! As a lord, he has to consider far more aspects than these merchants.
First of all, he plundered and eliminated other nearby markets and created such a good business background for the economic prosperity of Luliu Town. However, the "economic prosperity" mentioned here refers to a normal, healthy and orderly market economy, rather than the false prosperity full of bubbles in front of him. The environment he created was not for the purpose of making violent use of these businesses.
What Luliu Town should now carry out a development-oriented business of rest and recuperation, rather than a plundering business of fishing in a dry pond. Such a joint operation and artificially deliberately lowering the acquisition price will not bring any benefits to Luliu Town. All profits are earned by merchants, but what is left to Luliu Town is a fragile business system that cannot withstand any storm.
And...worse, such a business method will also cause conflicts with the grassland peoples that should not have occurred. Thinking of this, Wang Dafu's mouth twitched.
The grassland people may be heroic and straightforward, but they are not fools. People are quite clear about the price of normal goods. Although these merchants like Manager Tao take advantage of the situation now, they are really forced to force others. Once they leave or attack them, who will Wang Dafu cry?
Although Wang Dafu is very confident in his appearance, and the current form of the Dangenshan Grassland is still under his control, he is not so arrogant that he thinks that with the Luliu Town alone, he can face the forces of the entire Dangenshan Grassland head-on. The reason why he can now use the entire Dangenshan Grassland as the back garden of Luliu Town is entirely because Wang Dafu uses the subtle forms between the major forces here. If the other party is attracted to him in full due to trade issues, then Wang Dafu will really be depressed.
What's more, Wang Dafu always believed that whatever he did was to do was to rob the other party through bloody battles on the battlefield. These things were taken for granted by Wang Dafu and were also natural rules on the grassland. However, if you do business, you should adhere to integrity and act properly, and do not attempt to earn improper benefits.
Some people may say that wars are diverse in forms, fighting on the battlefield, economic plunder and cultural aggression are the same, but in Wang Dafu's view, everything should have a "degree". If you exceed this "degree", it is too much or too little. It is understandable to make the other party become his own vassal or even subordinates through trade means. However, if you force the other party to become his own enemy through trade means, wouldn't that be an idiot? But the current practice of Tongye Market is very likely - this is another form of "officials force the people to rebel".
The two sides in the chamber of commerce were still arguing and shook their heads slightly. Wang Dafu walked in with great strides, and without looking at the shopkeeper Tao, he said to the strong man: "Brother Han Luo, right? I wonder if you are willing to talk to me about this business?"
Hearing this, the strong man turned around, looked Wang Dafu up and down, and asked strangely: "Hmm? Who are you? What business are you going to talk to me?" His words were full of distrust.
Manager Tao saw that he could take over the business immediately, but who would have thought that someone suddenly jumped out and got angry. When he looked carefully, he found that the person was the mayor of Luliu Town. He was even more angry, coughed heavily, and said with a dark face: "Oh~~ Isn't this the mayor of the mayor? You are here, and you are so embarrassed."
Wang Dafu looked at him lightly, nodded and said, "Haha, Xiaoshang Tao, I want to take over this guest. I wonder if you are willing?"
Manager Tao laughed: "Master, look at what you said, if you have this intention, how dare the young man not obeyed..." When Manager Tao said this, he suddenly paused slightly, then narrowed his eyes and continued: "But, Lord, when did you start to worry about these trivial matters in the business world? I remember that back then, you didn't agree with my old master, and you would never interfere in the freedom of business? Alas~~ The young man had no other meaning, just because he was afraid of being tired of you."
The words of the shopkeeper Tao were just right, and he expressed his respect to Wang Dafu just right, but he also secretly pointed out that Wang Dafu's behavior was contrary to the agreement he reached with the "Shangzu" Tao Zhugong.
However, after hearing this, Wang Dafu just smiled faintly and said without any expression. Seeing this, Manager Tao couldn't help but continue with embarrassment: "Haha, Lord Mayor, in fact, there are some public arguments in the market for this product..." When he said this, Manager Tao seemed to have just mentioned it inadvertently, but in fact he had a little more meaning. He was hinting that Wang Dafu, we have our own "unwritten rules" here, so don't be too troublesome. Huanxi Chamber of Commerce is rich enough to rival the country, and naturally the subordinates act more unruly.
Hearing this, Wang Dafu's face finally changed a little. He looked at Manager Tao deeply. Wang Dafu said meaningfully: "Shopkeeper Tao, your old master taught you how to do business~~ But it is very different from Mr. Fan Da's business practices I remember!" After saying that, he ignored Manager Tao, and did not stop for more. He turned his head and said casually: "I said, you big man, do you want to sell your batch of goods? If you want it, let's go over there to talk."
Although this grassland nation is honest by nature and doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart, it doesn't mean they are all fools. After this observation, he naturally saw what was going on. When he heard Wang Dafu's question, he nodded excitedly and said, "Okay~~Okay~~I think you, a fat man, are also a cheerful person. Let's go~~I'll talk to you!" He ignored the shopkeeper Tao who was standing there and stood up and walked out.
Wang Dafu no longer spoke more and turned around and left. However, when he walked out of the gate of Huanxi Chamber of Commerce, he looked at it thoughtfully, and happened to see the bright eyes of the shopkeeper Tao. The Huanxi Chamber of Commerce was as wealthy as the country, and the lords of ordinary territories did not dare to offend them at all. When did anyone give them face like Wang Dafu?
A faint but confident smile appeared on his face. Wang Dafu smiled to himself in an unknown voice: "Shang Zu... Your subordinate is so arrogant..."
The shopkeeper Tao in front of him was neither Tao Wu, the person in charge of Luliu Town, the Huanxi Chamber of Commerce, nor Tao Zhugong trusted the most. He was just a small hand under Tao Wu's hand. Wang Dafu naturally had no intention of calculating such a small person, and he would lose his identity if he had anything to do.
Moreover, in Wang Dafu's opinion, this matter is not strange. You should know that whether it is Tao Zhu or the Qiao family, they pursue "integrity-based" in their business. Wang Dafu is not so stupid that he thinks that the ruined affairs of Tongye Market were arranged by the senior executives of these two companies themselves.
