Chapter 421: A method that harms others and does not benefit oneself
"Who are you two, and who sent you here?"
After seeing the price on the sign hung outside by the two men, Bang Geng would be too stupid if he still didn't know that they were coming for him. These days, the price of barbecue at a stall is no different from the purchase price.
"Comrade, what are you talking about? I don't understand." The man selling barbecue on the right heard what Banggeng said and stretched out his hand to his ear and made a listening gesture.
"Yes, yes, we are here to do business, but we think your place has a better location." The other person also smiled as if he didn't understand what you were saying.
Banggeng felt annoyed when he saw the two people pretending to be stupid. Do they really think he is stupid? He is not a fool. If he can't even see this, then what business is he in?
The things have already been put out, and it's a bit late to move now. Banggeng looked around and saw that other places were already occupied, so there was no choice but to sell like this for today.
Soon, more and more people came to the street. Seeing the increase in the number of people, the two new stalls on both sides of the stick also started shouting.
"We're selling barbecue. Fresh lamb skewers. If they don't taste good, we won't charge you."
At first, when these two guys made the barbecue, everyone who came to ask the price was scared by the price on the billboard in front of them. They thought they would lose a lot of money if they sold the barbecue like this.
How can the price of barbecue meat be similar to that of fresh meat? At this price, the meat must be not fresh.
"Oh, we dare not eat your meat. It's so cheap. Could it be that the meat is from sick cattle or sheep?"
How should I put it? If you buy this thing at a high price, people will think you are making too much money. If you sell it at a low price, people will doubt the quality of your product.
"It's like this. We are preparing to establish our own brand, so our boss said that these things don't make money but are just a benefit for everyone." As he said this, he took out the skewers of meat that had already been skewered from the bag at the back and showed them to everyone.
People who know the business can tell that this meat has been slaughtered and bled. If it is really the meat of sick cattle or sheep that died, the quality will not be so tender.
"We set up this stall to promote the seasonings from our factory." As the stall owner hired by Lee Seung-ri said this, he took out the seasonings produced by Lee Seung-ri's factory from the backpack behind him.
"Are you advertising?" Those who gathered around waiting to eat barbecue couldn't believe it. They thought that so much effort was spent just to promote such a seasoning. They were not the target audience of this seasoning.
In fact, this is not the case. Lee Seung-ri's main purpose is to disrupt Banggeng's business. He does not require how much money these stall owners he found can make. His main goal is to prevent Banggeng from making any money.
Li Shengli is a very stingy person. If he really wanted to, he could just send the meat in, make some tricks and sell some inferior meat instead of fresh meat to Jia Zhang. With Jia Zhang's personality, how could he not take advantage of the opportunity?
Lee Seung-ri is a man with a bottom line. This kind of thing is really too conscienceless, so he would rather spend more money to find someone to ruin Banggeng's business.
"Everyone, you can try our seasoning. If it suits you, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. This seasoning is very suitable for making barbecue at home."
As the stall owner's advertisement came out, the onlookers felt a little relieved. If they were told that these people were simply selling barbecue at such a low price, they might not have believed it. But when they heard this person advertising, most of the onlookers immediately believed it.
In the past, people bought melon seeds to participate in lotteries. So isn’t it normal to buy barbecue and advertise it?
When Bang Geng saw the stall owner next to him putting up an advertisement, he had no idea who planned this.
Li Shengli!
Bang Geng gritted his teeth and shouted secretly, this person is too cruel, he just made a few anonymous reporting calls, but he is determined to close down his business even if he has to pay the money.
It's a pity that Li Shengli is a businessman, why does he only do these things that lose money. Thinking of this, Banggeng also started to shout loudly, but because the price of Banggeng's barbecue is indeed a bit high, some people who know Banggen and are worried about the problems of the low-priced barbecue next to him will come to his stall and spend money to buy a few skewers.
After a wave of customers passed by, the stalls on both sides of Bang Geng could not be said to be profitable, but Bang Geng certainly did not make any money.
Since Bang Geng had roasted a lot of skewers of meat on the fire before, but no one bought them, he had to turn down the fire a little and put the skewers of meat on it to keep them warm.
This won't do. Bang Geng started to think. If he doesn't sell these skewers today, they will definitely go bad and smell bad by tomorrow, and he may not be able to sell them then.
Seeing that the two stalls next to them were doing a booming business, Banggeng decided to wait for a while. Maybe by then all the barbecue in their hands would be sold out.
In fact, Banggeng had a very good solution at this time. He sent people to buy all the barbecue from these two restaurants and then sell it to other people at a higher price. This way he could save the effort of barbecue and make a lot of money.
However, Lee Seung-ri had already considered this idea, that is, he specifically told the two to sell as slowly as possible, preferably until there was no one left. No matter whether the barbecue was sold out or not, as long as they could ensure that Banggeng's business could continue, it would be fine.
After seeing off wave after wave of customers and seeing that it was getting darker, Bang Geng couldn't help it any longer. If he continued like this, he would really lose money. If he took all these back, even if they didn't go bad tomorrow, these two people might not let him go.
So Bang Geng also started to shout, and this time he also made a big price reduction. The price of his barbecue was only slightly higher than the raw meat.
Bang Geng's arithmetic was pretty good. He quoted this price and after he sold all the meat, he couldn't say how much profit he would make, but at least he wouldn't lose money.
After Banggeng’s barbecue price dropped, the business immediately became popular. Some people who couldn’t wait for the barbecue at the two stalls next door would come to Banggeng’s stall to buy barbecue.
The three of them worked so enthusiastically that they quickly sold out all the things on the tricycle.
It was already late, and there were not many people on the street. Even the people selling trinkets at the nearby stalls had mostly left.
"You two were invited by Li Shengli, right?" Bang Geng shouted viciously at the two stall owners beside him while packing up his stall.
"Comrade Jia Geng, what are you talking about? The two of us are just here to promote the barbecue seasoning." Li Shengli specifically instructed that they must not admit that he had assigned them, and if anyone asked, no matter who they were, they had to answer that they were here to promote the seasoning.
"Oh, you want to promote seasoning? Why don't you go anywhere else but promote seasoning right next to me?"
Banggeng is a little angry. He really thinks of himself as a fool.
"Comrade Jia Geng, see you tomorrow." The two men didn't say anything, but just stretched out their hands to greet Bang Geng.
But what they said almost broke Bang Geng's defense. Will these two people come again tomorrow? Are they really going to fight with me?
"Get out." Bang Geng shouted angrily, gritting his teeth. Then he haphazardly packed up his stall and put it on the tricycle, then rode away with gritted teeth.
The two people Li Shengli brought looked at each other, then happily high-fived each other to celebrate.
