【7】Seize Less? Bully Honest People
"That boss is a black-hearted guy!"
"He actually wanted to buy my 150-pound charcoal for five cents."
"It's just an insult to my charcoal."
Tanjirou finished speaking through gritted teeth.
I think of the treacherous face of the owner of the grain and oil store.
He can't get over it when he's angry.
Talk for a moment.
The two of them had already reached the door of the room.
inside the house.
The children's laughter and laughter were extremely clear.
Gen Kujo patted Tanjirou on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't be angry."
"Take me over tomorrow and I'll talk to him."
"When the time comes, I'll give you a good vent."
"OK!"
Tanjirou also did not question Gen Kujo's words.
The two entered the house.
Let’s not discuss this matter again.
..................................................
Noon the next day.
After lunch.
Tanjirou and Gen Kujo carried two baskets of charcoal down the mountain.
With the protection of Mrs. Kui Zhi.
The children did not notice that the two had gone down the mountain.
Half an hour later.
Yuntori Town.
At the entrance of the grain and oil store.
"Ah, is it Tanjirou? I told you last time that I wanted to buy a large amount of your charcoal. Have you figured it out?"
A middle-aged man who had just seen off a guest.
Greet Tanjirou warmly.
There was a flattering smile on his face.
Eyes narrowed into slits.
Looks very treacherous.
The gray kimono almost squeezed him into a ball when he was wearing it.
Tanjirou needs no introduction.
Gen Kujo also recognized it.
This is the black-hearted boss he calls.
Gen Kujo took a serious look at the goods sold in this grain and oil store.
In addition to rice and various seasonings, he also has some kitchen supplies.
For example, spatulas and various porcelain bowls with beautiful patterns.
It's really suitable if you sell some charcoal on the way.
"Hello boss, I will talk to you about the charcoal acquisition today."
Gen Kujo blocked the grain and oil store owner from looking at Tanjirou.
Reach out in a friendly way.
The owner of the grain and oil store shook hands subconsciously.
but.
But his eyes instantly became alert.
Although this boy looks young, his shrewd face cannot escape the eyes of a businessman.
"Then please come in first and we'll talk inside."
Back room.
The three of them sat down.
The yellow tea in the water cup is filled with white mist.
This was just served by the owner of the grain and oil store.
"The purchase price of charcoal mentioned last time was five cents per catty. This time I can increase it to six cents!"
Gen Kujo didn't mention the charcoal thing for a long time, and the owner of the grain and oil store took the initiative to say it.
Hearing the quotation from the owner of the grain and oil store, Gen Kujo shook his head pretending to be disappointed: "Boss, it seems you haven't figured out the situation yet."
"What's the meaning?"
"We came here today to give you one last chance, but I didn't expect you to be so insincere."
"Give me a chance? What chance?"
"Of course this is an opportunity for us to sell charcoal to you. If the business cannot be negotiated today, I think you will not be able to continue doing business on this street in the future."
The owner of the grain and oil store narrowed his eyes. He felt that he had just been threatened and intimidated.
"Young man, look at me, am I scared?"
"Boss, you seem to have misunderstood me."
"What I mean is, if you don't buy our charcoal, we will sell it to other stores on this street."
"I believe you are not the only one selling grains and oils on this street, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't sell spatulas, bowls, etc. in addition to grains and oils. You sell these to increase the floating population and at the same time let everyone form a consumption Habit."
"Charcoal is also a daily necessity. If I give the charcoal business to other stores, the customer flow will go to other stores. When customers buy charcoal, they also buy grain and oil. It is normal for them not to come to your store."
"So, purchasing our charcoal is to make your grain and oil store business more stable."
"If you don't acquire it, your store will gradually lose its competitiveness compared with other stores over time."
"Think about it, is this true?"
Although the owner of the grain and oil store looks rough.
But the heart is actually delicate.
The idea of the young man in front of him was obviously the same as when he wanted to buy Tanjirou from Tanjirou.
My initial judgment about this young man was indeed correct.
This young man is a smart man.
After thinking about it.
The owner of the grain and oil store also put down his arrogance.
He said loosely: "Young man, tell me what you think! What do you plan to do in this charcoal business?"
The done deal is that this young man is not as easy to fool as Tanjirou.
I have lost the initiative.
How to do this business later can only be based on the other party's ideas.
The corner of Gen Kujo's mouth raised. As a demon in his previous life, he played with people's hearts clearly.
He held up three fingers.
Cut to the chase.
"Charcoal, I'll sell it to you for thirty cents a pound!"
"What!"
"Seize the young master?"
The owner of the grain and oil store suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
You sell 151 pounds of charcoal.
I bought it without asking you for any less.
Instead, you sit down and raise your price.
Doubled! ! !
You wouldn't dare to bully an honest person like this, right?
