I can see the commodity price curve

Silver Arowana Zhongzhou Branch.

Manager Zhou Chuanchang looked at the eight people in front of him with a serious expression: "How is it? Is the store closed?"

These eight people are the sales staff of Silver Arowana Zhongzhou Branch, and they used to be responsible for docking Silver Arowana oil products with supermarkets.

This time, the Silver Arowana Fresh Food Department was suddenly established. Because of the tight schedule and heavy tasks, all distribution tasks were naturally handed over to them.

The eight salesmen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they heard Zhou Chuanchang ask this question.

Zhou Chuanchang: "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

One of the salesmen said with a wry smile: "Manager Zhou, our pork can't be sold in Zhongzhou at all."

Zhou Chuanchang was stunned: "Can't sell it? Why?"

There is currently a huge market gap for pork. Although the price of silver arowana has been raised very high, demand has always been in short supply in other cities in the province.

But something happened in Zhongzhou.

"Because there is no shortage of pork in supermarkets in Zhongzhou."

Seeing Zhou Chuanchang's confusion, the salesperson said: "Last time, Yonghui Supermarket, Duoyouhao Supermarket, Lianhua Supermarket and Guoyue Supermarket purchased a large amount of pork from the Kowloon Pork Slaughter Center.

Although most of them have been resold, some are still stored in their respective warehouses.

The purchasing price of these pork is fifteen yuan per catty. If we sell it to them for thirty yuan per catty, they will naturally not want to buy it. "

Zhou Chuanchang frowned: "These supermarkets still have stocks on hand?

In this case, let's wait for a while.

You should pay close attention to each other's movements. If these supermarkets are out of stock, report to me at any time. "

Seeing that Zhou Chuanchang didn't get angry, the eight salesmen breathed a sigh of relief.

Two days later.

Zhou Chuanchang received a call from one of the salesmen saying that the pork in Yonghui Supermarket had been sold out.

The next day, news came from Duoyou that the pork was sold out.

In just three days, all supermarkets in Zhongzhou were out of pork.

Zhou Chuanchang became energetic and immediately summoned the sales staff and asked them to go to various supermarkets to promote it.

He thought it would go very smoothly this time, but the news came soon.

These supermarkets refuse to sell silver arowana pork.

Zhou Chuanchang's face turned dark immediately.

On purpose, they must have done it on purpose.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chuanchang said: "Since these people don't know how to praise, don't blame me for being rude.

From now on, the price of all pork entering Zhongzhou will increase to 35 yuan per pound.

Then they spread the news that these supermarkets have deliberately joined forces to raise the price of pork to make money.

Aren't you very noble? I will completely ruin your reputation! "

These sales nods.

Spreading news is their specialty, and they only need to hire a group of trolls to achieve their goal.

Moreover, the most important thing in a business war is a war of public opinion. Once the reputation is bad, the supermarket will be half as bad.

After giving the order, Zhou Chuanchang went to do other things.

As the head of the Zhongzhou branch of Silver Arowana, he has a lot of things to do every day.

Even if the price of pork is important, he can't put all his energy into it.

Two days later, Zhou Chuanchang thought of the incident again.

This time he did not call sales, but went to the nearest Guoyue supermarket.

If you want to determine whether something is completely implemented, it is useless to ask the salesperson. You need to conduct on-site inspections yourself.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance of Guoyue Supermarket, Zhou Chuanchang frowned.

so many people!

I saw chaos in Guoyue Supermarket. Everyone was pushing a trolley and spinning around with very excited expressions.

Why is the business of this supermarket so good?

He had been to Guoyue Supermarket several times before. Although the number of customers was relatively large, it was far from what it was today.

After thinking about it, he grabbed a customer next to him and said, "Brother, why is this place so busy today?"

The other party smiled and said: "You don't know?"

"what do you know?"

“Today is the first anniversary of Guoyue Supermarket.

The supermarket is holding an event and all products are 20% off. "

Zhou Chuanchang was a little surprised: "Isn't it right?

Even if all products are 20% off, there shouldn’t be so many talented people! "

It is very common for supermarkets to hold activities, such as Lantern Festival activities, Spring Festival feedback, Dragon Boat Festival gift packages, and Mid-Autumn Festival sales.

In short, as long as there is a festival, various discounts will be given.

At first, people would come here specifically to buy, but as time went by, the so-called discounts no longer had much effect.

The other party glanced at Zhou Chuanchang: "If it were an ordinary supermarket holding an event, there would definitely not be so many people.

But this is Guoyue Supermarket. Their items are usually very cheap, but now they are offering 20% ​​off, which is a completely shocking price. "

After speaking, he took out a bag of melon seeds and said, "Do you know how much this bag of melon seeds costs?"

Zhou Chuanchang took it and found three words written on the surface of the bag of melon seeds: Laojiekou.

Of course, Zhou Chuanchang is not a fan of the melon seed brand.

The most famous melon seeds are Golden Pigeon. Other melon seeds, such as Cha Cha Xiang, are also famous, but the taste is actually the same.

He had never heard of Laojiekou.

However, Zhou Chuanchang has his own method of judgment.

Because the methods of making melon seeds are similar.

Take the most classic five-spice melon seeds as an example. As long as the melon seeds are full and have no debris, you can eat them all the same.

So it’s not really affordable, it’s more about quality.

This pack of Laojiekou melon seeds weighs 500 grams, which is exactly one pound.

Seeing this, Zhou Chuanchang already had a rough idea.

The large package of Golden Pigeon Melon Seeds is 260 g, and a package costs about yuan in the supermarket.

Although this kind of melon seeds is more expensive, other melon seeds are also about ten yuan.

Therefore, a pack of 500 grams of melon seeds, even if they are cheap, should cost 18 yuan.

But Zhou Chuanchang couldn't say that.

Because when he said this, if the young man in front of him offered him a cheaper price, he would become the background for the other party to show off.

So he said, "This pack should cost twelve yuan, right?"

Twelve yuan, this price seemed impossible to Zhou Chuanchang.

He guessed that even if Guoyue Supermarket had a low price promotion, a pack would cost only fifteen yuan.

If you say twelve yuan, the other party will be very embarrassed and say, how can such a big bag of melon seeds be so cheap?

He was waiting for the other person to say this triumphantly, but the person opposite laughed, with an expression that was indeed true:

"Brother, it seems that you don't come to Guoyue Supermarket very often.

In Guoyue Supermarket, the prices of all products are lower than your imagination.

This kind of Laojiekou melon seeds, packed in 500 grams, only costs 9.9 yuan a pack in Guoyue Supermarket. "

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Chuanchang was shocked: "Wait, what did you say?

Ninety-nine yuan for a pound of melon seeds? How can it be? "

When he is in Zhongzhou, the supermarket he goes to most often is Dennis.

Dennis sells loose melon seeds, which are large in size and pure in taste. They sell for 17.6 yuan per pound.

This is already relatively cheap, but now this kind of melon seeds sell for ninety-nine yuan, which is really outrageous.

Unexpectedly, the other party said: "Nine-nine yuan is the normal price. Today, all products in Guoyue Supermarket are 20% off.

In other words, a pack of these melon seeds only costs eight pieces.

It costs eight yuan a pound in Laojiekou, so I must buy more and save it at home to eat later! "

Zhou Chuanchang no longer knew what to say.

I saw him pick up two packages of melon seeds and put them into his shopping cart.

Although he came here today to explore the news, with such a preferential price, he must pick up a handful of wool.

After discovering the discount, Zhou Chuanchang slowly pushed the shopping cart and was not in a hurry. He is going to buy some cheap goods here. For example, he is running out of toothpaste at home. If there is a discount here, he will naturally buy a few boxes.

There are also shampoo and transparent soap, which are daily consumables and are definitely indispensable.

After wandering around for a long time, Zhou Chuanchang found that his shopping cart was almost full.

But he was not depressed at all, but very excited.

I have to say that the products at Guoyue Supermarket are really cheap.

Finally he came to the vegetable section.

Then Zhou Chuanchang saw radish and Chinese cabbage, and he was stunned again.

Chinese cabbage in Guoyue Supermarket costs 40 cents per pound?

This is too cheap!

The key point is that these Chinese cabbages look very fresh and juicy, as if they were just picked from the ground.

Zhou Chuanchang subconsciously took one, weighed it on the scale, and found that it only cost three yuan.

Such a big cabbage is enough for a family to eat for several days.

did not expect……

He was hesitating whether to buy a few more cabbages to make spicy cabbage, when he saw an old lady saying to him:

“Young man, before you buy cabbage, you need to take off the outer leaves.

Although these leaves are edible, they are a bit old and not as fresh and tender as the cabbage leaves in the middle. "

Zhou Chuanchang couldn't help but sweat.

Because the cabbage in the old lady's hand has lost one third, and the cabbage leaves in front of her are full of torn off cabbage leaves.

This made Zhou Chuanchang couldn't help but think of his mother.

When I go to the supermarket to buy cabbage, I will also peel off the cabbage outside.

The problem is, cabbage itself is worthless.

The other party took a long time to pick up the leaves, and the leaves they removed might not even cost two cents.

During this time, I just pick up a few mineral water bottles on the road and sell them, which will only cost me this little money.

Although he thought it was boring to do this, he couldn't refuse the old lady's kindness.

So Zhou Chuanchang casually peeled off a few cabbage leaves and said, "Auntie, thank you.

It was my first time to go to the supermarket to buy groceries. I didn’t know the ropes and almost suffered a big loss. "

He knew what the other person was thinking, and if he said that, the other person would be very happy to hear it.

The old lady in front of me may not be short of this little money, but if she doesn't peel off the cabbage leaves, she will definitely feel that she has lost 100 million.

Sure enough, the old lady's face was full of smiles at this moment: "You are a good young man, you know how to live a good life.

I have warned other young people before, but when they just looked at me and walked away with a whole cabbage, they couldn't live their lives at all. "

Zhou Chuanchang said hurriedly: "It's not that they don't know how to live, but you are very good at living.

As the saying goes, if you are not a family member, you will not know how expensive firewood and rice are. Only when they are older will they know how wise your actions are. "

After he said this, the old lady became even happier instantly.

Then she said: "Young man, you are very good.

The most affordable item in Guoyue Supermarket today is pork, you can buy more.

Pork is so expensive now. If you miss today, it will be difficult to eat cheap pork. "

Zhou Chuanchang was stunned: "Wait, what did you say?

Does Guoyue Supermarket sell pork? They actually have it in stock today? "

The old lady gave Zhou Chuanchang a strange look: "Guoyue Supermarket always sells pork!

By the way, they seemed to have been short of supplies for a while, but they quickly made up for it. "

"That's it!"

Zhou Chuanchang immediately realized something was wrong.

He didn't bother to buy other cheap vegetables, but came to the pork stall.

There is also a long queue at the pork stall, but there are not many people.

He waited behind for a while, and then it was his turn.

The pork seller looked at him: "Which part do you want?"

However, Zhou Chuanchang was stunned.

Because the pork in Guoyue Supermarket only costs 20 yuan per pound.

How can this be?

You know, the current price of pork in Zhongzhou is thirty-five per pound.

Zhou Chuanchang couldn't help but said: "Isn't your pork too cheap?"

The guy who sells pork has long been accustomed to customers like him: “Not only is pork cheap in our Guoyue Supermarket, but other products are also very cheap.

This is your first time here, you will know later. "

However, Zhou Chuanchang said: "No, little brother, I really don't hide anything from each other.

I personally do pork wholesale.

The current price of pork in the market is at least thirty-five yuan per pound.

Don't you think you'll lose money if you sell it for twenty? "

Zhou Chuanchang heard what the other party said and immediately came to the conclusion:

This is Zhang Yue buying pork from him at a high price and then selling it at a low price.

I have to say that this guy is really ruthless and spends a lot of money just for popularity.

As a result, the pork seller smiled slightly: "You misunderstood, our boss will not lose money.

Yes, pork on the market is indeed very expensive.

But the pork we sell is not purchased from the market.

This is pork from Western Xinjiang.

The pork production in Xijiang is relatively large this year, and the price is much cheaper than here.

Our boss has joined forces with the farmers there to offer discounts in our supermarket.

Pork that costs thirty-five yuan to buy at those small vendors can be purchased in our supermarket for only twenty-five yuan.

Of course today is our anniversary, and you can buy it for twenty yuan.

So I suggest you buy more. After today, it will rise to 25 immediately. "

After hearing what the younger brother said, Zhou Chuanchang was stunned.

Twenty-five pounds of pork? How can this be?

He hurriedly selected a pork leg, turned around and called Charlie and briefly explained the situation.

Finally he asked: "What should we do next?"

Charlie was a little sluggish. He didn't expect that there would be a problem in Western Xinjiang.

Because the pork supply in Xijiang is from his own ADM company.

Due to special circumstances this year, the company stopped importing pork from Western Xinjiang.

In Charlie's view, although Western Xinjiang is also part of China, the two are 3,500 kilometers apart.

Transportation cost alone is a big problem, I didn’t expect...

After pondering for a moment, he said to Zhou Chuanchang: "Lower the price of pork!

There is a large amount of pork in Western Xinjiang, and there is no problem in sustaining it for several months. "

Zhou Chuanchang was stunned, he didn’t expect Charlie to say this: “Then what price should we sell it for?”

"Same as Guoyue Supermarket."

Charlie didn’t hesitate, “Since pork has no advantage, let’s do more work on soybeans.

I still don’t believe it, Zhang Yue can even make flowers out of soybeans. "

Zhou Chuanchang nodded: "I understand."

Although a little surprised, Zhou Chuanchang quickly accepted this fact.

After all, he is just a worker, he just needs to carry out the orders from above.

After the price of pork at Silver Arowana dropped, Zhang Yue received the news immediately.

He chuckled: "The other party responded very quickly, but since you started the price war, it's not that easy to escape unscathed." (End of Chapter)
