Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 197 Crisis Strikes
He knew that Wu Fugui wanted to deal with Chen Huajiang. In his mind, the other party was a rich man who had taken advantage of him.

"That's right, the state-owned match factory is nothing to worry about. As long as we have Boss Wu, you will continue to support us."

"If you support us, how can we immediately lower the price of matches to three cents!"

Following Zhou Xiaoliu's words, Zhou Kun and others also looked at Wu Fugui with fiery eyes.

"Quack, quack, hahaha."

Wu Fugui was laughed at by them, and his hands trembled in anger.

This special meow thinks he is a fool!Continue the price war, three cents?

So what if we seize the market?Is it profitable to give matches to Chen Huajiang and let him release the goods slowly?
"Do you think I'm a fool!?"

"You idiots, trash, fools!"

Wu Fugui stood up angrily, becoming more and more angry as he spoke, and overturned the dining table in front of him.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and pots and pans fell to the floor.

Many bosses also looked nervous, no longer daring to say words of support to the other party.

"I won't cooperate with you idiots anymore. One by one, Dute Miao is a waste!"

"I'm so smart, how could I remember to come to you for cooperation?"

Wu Fugui was still angry and glanced at the people in front of him with disdain, then turned and left.

"Boss Wu, please wait and give us the money."

"That's right, you said last time that you paid for the cost of customizing the matches!"

"No, why are the prices of our customized matches reduced to six cents a box because of your words, while the state-owned match factory costs only fifteen cents a box? You must make up for the price difference to us!"

Zhou Xiaoliu and others stopped Wu Fugui to prevent him from leaving. They also knew that the cooperation was ruined. Of course, they wanted money at this time!
Wu Fugui was trembling with anger, pointing at them and saying: "You you you—you, you—" and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

However, amidst the commotion and the fact that they had a contract with each other, Wu Fugui had no choice but to pay the final subsidy to them in frustration, and then walked out with a ferocious look on his face.

"What the hell? If it weren't for him, how could we have encountered such trouble?"

"No, it seems like they cheated him out of money. His money was clearly stolen by the state-owned match factory."

"We used to sell matches for [-] cents a box, but if it wasn't for him, how could we sell them for [-] cent a box? Now our match factory is in a dilemma, and he is trying to show off to us, who is he?" "

The bosses also had something to say, but they all looked unhappy.

In their view, although they received subsidies from Wu Fugui, it was still money they should have earned.

As a result, the price war ended. Although they made a profit by working overtime to get Wu Fugui's subsidy, the market was completely ruined.

The most important thing is that the state-owned match factories, which they had originally forced out of the market, have now begun to make trouble again, frantically attacking the market and seizing the market.

After some discussion, everyone came up with a way to treat the other person in his own way.

"We should also follow Chen Huajiang's method and start a price war. When the price drops, we can also buy matches at a low price."

"Yes, the state-owned match factories don't have many goods on hand. As long as they eat the goods they have, they will naturally not be able to compete with us."

"Just do it!"

Many bosses discussed and reached an agreement with each other.

But they had a good idea, but it was not feasible at all, because when the price of matches dropped below four cents, they stopped falling, and Chen Huajiang and Jin Sanshun began to receive goods.

The price of matches was even raised to six cents.

This made Zhou Xiaoliu and others dumbfounded. Six cents can still make money, so they continued to suppress.

In this way, the price of matches has been hovering between [-] to [-] cents. If it is below [-] cents, it will be sold out, and if it reaches [-] cents, it will be shipped by the state-owned match factory.

Soon a batch of match workshops could no longer bear the burden, and Chen Huajiang appeared at the right time and signed a one-year supply agreement with them at a price of four and a half cents.

These match workshops no longer need to worry about sales. They only need to help the state-owned match factory produce. Once the production is completed, someone will take over. Naturally, they will be happy.

In this way, the price of Nanming City's popular match market was maintained at five cents, and the market share of the state-owned match factory also increased steadily, from 15.00%, to 20.00%, and then to 30.00%.

Gradually, Zhou Xiaoliu and other big workshop owners could no longer sit still, because after the market was squeezed, they formed a backlog effect, producing more and more matches, and selling fewer and fewer matches.

In the end, not to mention raising prices, they even had to deal with the backlog of matches.

At this time, Chen Huajiang and Jin Sanshun were no longer foodies, even if they had lowered the price of matches to a loss-making price of three cents a box, they were no longer foodies.

The market completely collapsed, and many workshops found that the more they produced, the more they lost money.

Zhou Kun and Zhang Laowu also approached Chen Huajiang, and the two parties reached an agreement. The two production workshops of No. [-] Match and Xiaowuzi Match would help the state-owned match factory produce matches at a price of four cents. They would no longer produce and sell their own matches and completely withdraw from the market. , Figure a stable income.

In this way, the state-owned match factory captured half of the market share, and the shops in the streets and alleys were filled with matches from the state-owned match factory.

At the same time, a month passed in a blink of an eye, and a group of creditors appeared again at the state-owned match factory.

It's just the same as when they came here, this time they were much more polite, and they were no longer full of anger, but full of smiles.

"Boss Chen, do you still need wood for your match factory?"

"Boss Chen, do you still need red phosphorus?"

"Boss Chen, we have a batch of cardboard on sale at [-]% off. Do you have any plans to purchase cardboard?"

In the office, everyone nodded and bowed around Chen Huajiang, passing cigarettes to others and lighting fires to others.

As the market share of the excellent match factory is increasing, each other also knows that the former big customer has returned.

If there is a market, a large amount of raw materials will naturally be needed for production and processing. As for the small money owed before, no one mentioned it.

However, Chen Huajiang still paid them the money one by one according to their IOUs.

"In terms of raw material procurement, you go to the purchasing department. Wang Dayou is in charge there."

Chen Huajiang waved his hand and motioned for them to go out.

Soon this group of people rushed to the purchasing department. Wang Dayou received them, bargained and ordered a large amount of raw materials.

After sending the person away, Wang Dayou looked at the cigarettes on the table and shook his head involuntarily. Since when did he start to have no shortage of cigarettes.

Thinking about the changes during this period, whether it is salary or improvement in quality of life, I feel full of gratitude and admiration for Chen Huajiang.

At the same time, a crisis was approaching the match factory.

There will never be a shortage of villains in this world, especially villains who bet wrongly and are full of resentment.

"Let's make a decision this time. The power grid on the fence behind the match factory is fake."

Let's dig it in at night, light the fire and run away.

"When the price is 1000 yuan per person, everyone will keep their mouths shut. If anyone talks too much, I will kill him."

At Wu Hao's house, he was talking to a few friends about his plan to burn down the match factory.

When he was fired from the match factory as a thorn in the side, Wu Hao didn't feel anything bad, but felt complacent.

After all, the match factory has been unable to pay wages for a long time, but they have received [-] benefits from Wang Changjiang, which is much better than other workers.

But as the match factory prospered, those workers who remained worked overtime, and their wages were rising steadily. He and his brothers felt unbalanced.
