Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

A can of food was sold for 1.8 yuan, and Zhou Qi gave up 1.6 yuan, leaving only 20 cents.

If he gives in any further, how much further can he go?

Qiao Laosan thought Zhou Qi was crazy.

But he also felt that this had forced Zhou Qi into a dead end.

Orders have been pouring in like snowflakes in the past two days, which shows that Zhou Qi's orders are shrinking, proving that his profit-sharing strategy is effective.

He faced two choices. One was to continue following up and gradually expand his market share, but the market he occupied was much larger than Zhou Qi's, so he would burn money faster.

The second is to give in, give up the canned fruit market, watch Zhou Qi eat up his market share, and instead concentrate on developing other canned food markets.

He smoked a pack of cigarettes in a row and the ashtray was almost full.

After a long while, he put out his cigarette, called Li Ye, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's give you a discount of 1.6 yuan. Go ahead!"

He didn't say much.

He took the gamble on this round.

Betting on the future, betting on hope, betting that Zhou Qixian can’t hold on.

Three more days passed.

Qiao Laosan's eye sockets were sunken and his spirit was depressed, he looked like a completely different person. There were three documents waiting for approval on the table, his fingers were yellowed by smoke, I don't know how many cigarettes he had smoked.

"Third Master, more and more people are asking for our products, and the distributors are making a fortune. In some places, our canned goods are sold for less than one dollar, and we can't find the distribution channels. The whole market is in chaos. The most important thing is that we can't afford to spend any more money."

After three days of crazy burning, how much did you lose?

From the beginning to now, the total loss on the books is more than 660,000.

Adding the 700,000 previously spent on the TV station, this contest has cost 1.36 million so far.

The factory’s funding chain has been cut off.

There were three documents on the table, waiting for his signature, to allocate funds to the raw material suppliers.

There are too many people asking for goods, and the demand for raw materials has also increased sharply.

If you don’t pay, the fruit will be gone.

Give me money, I have no money left.

As a result, the production of other canned foods will be disrupted.

give up?

Seven hundred thousand dollars of advertising has not yet shown any results, so you just throw it away?

He was unwilling to give up after fighting to this point.

"How's Zhou Qi doing?" asked Qiao Lao San in a hoarse voice.

Li Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "We have high profits, and merchants are now more willing to promote our products. Their supply has decreased. I don't know if it's due to insufficient production capacity or a problem with the capital chain. There may not be enough raw materials."

He didn't want to say that.

Because he said that, he was sure that Qiao Laosan would have to follow up.

So he added, "Third Master, why don't you give him a call and discuss giving them a portion of the market, dividing the market, and not invading each other, and continue like this..."

Before he could finish, Qiao Lao San waved his hand, his listless expression showing a hint of excitement: "He can't hold on any longer, he's finished. Once the funding chain is broken, everything will collapse..."

"I will persist and drag him down no matter what."

Li Ye frowned.

Seeing Qiao Laosan’s current state, Li Ye felt that he was simply possessed.

Once the capital chain is broken, everyone will collapse. Can Zhou Qi really be killed by fighting like this?

He always felt that there was something fishy going on with Zhou Qi.

TV commercials are broadcast every day, but there is not much movement in the market.

Is this reasonable?

But he couldn't explain why.

"Third Master, our capital chain has been broken, and now the raw material suppliers are waiting for payment, this..." Li Ye said.

"I'll think of a way..."

Qiao Laosan said: "Right now, canned fruit is the focus. We will reduce production of other canned products to maintain the minimum operation."

After giving the instructions, Qiao Laosan stood up.

"Third Master, I'll go with you." Li Ye said.

"Need not."

Half an hour later.

Qiao Laosan drove his black Santana to a large mansion in the east of the city.

The moment I got off the car, I kept a very low profile.

After entering the door, I waited in the spacious living room for half an hour. Then, an old man with silver hair and ruddy complexion, accompanied by an old man who looked like a housekeeper, slowly walked down from the second floor.

Qiao Laosan hurried over and half-bent over and said, "Master Xiang, Master Hong, I greet you two."

If Li Ye saw this scene, his jaw would drop.

He had never seen Qiao Lao San so servile.

Qiao Laosan has been around for so many years, from the county town to the city, and he is indeed proud.

But he didn't dare to act rashly in front of the two of them, especially this Mr. Xiang.

In Chun City, the boss of the underworld has both the white and the black sides under his control.

A big shot who can make the whole Chun City tremble with just a stomp of his feet.

The other old man, Hong, was thin and small, but Qiao Laosan dared to guarantee that he could knock him down with one hand.

Mr. Xiang glanced at him, raised his hand to signal, and walked straight to the sofa.

After sitting down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Mr. Hong stood beside him.

Naturally, Qiao Laosan didn't dare to sit down.

Mr. Xiang put down his teacup, leaned back, looked up at Qiao Lao San and said, "You can't handle that kid, you want my help?"

In Qiao Laosan's opinion, Mr. Xiang knows everything about Chunshi.

Mr. Xiang knew about the recent newspaper and television advertisements, so he was not surprised.

Qiao Lao San bowed and said, "Master Xiang, it's just a small inconvenience. I dare not trouble you."

"uh-huh!"

Mr. Xiang snorted and then remained silent. But this silence made Qiao Lao San so nervous that he began to sweat.

Clearing his throat, he said, "Master Xiang, can you lend me some working capital first? The factory is a bit short of money right now."

"How much do you want?" asked Mr. Xiang.

Qiao Laosan felt his mouth was a little dry, so he secretly glanced at Mr. Xiang and replied, "One... one million."

Mr. Xiang raised his lips almost imperceptibly and said, "Give me a reason!"

reason?

Qiao Laosan is here today to get close to us.

When he first arrived in Chun City and had not yet made a name for himself, one day Mr. Xiang was robbed and he stepped forward to save the man.

Later, it was discovered that this was actually the famous Mr. Xiang from Chun City.

Such a person would be robbed? He felt it was just a joke.

But that's just a coincidence.

I felt like I was so lucky that I managed to climb up the big tree of Mr. Xiang.

At that time, Mr. Xiang asked him to propose conditions.

He asked for one million, and Mr. Xiang gave him the money, and then he opened the factory.

At the end of each year, he would give Mr. Xiang 500,000 yuan to maintain this friendship.

Now it's time to use it.

But Mr. Xiang actually asked him to give a reason?

"Master Xiang, I am your younger brother."

Beads of sweat accumulated on Qiao Laosan's forehead. Seeing that Mr. Xiang did not respond, he wiped the sweat off his face and continued, "I have been serving you all these years and have been respectful to you. Now that you have run into difficulties, you can't just ignore me. I am only lending it temporarily and will soon return it to you with interest, and will continue to serve you as before..."

Repeatedly emphasize offering.

What he means is, if he goes bankrupt, wouldn't you lose $500,000 in revenue every year?

Mr. Xiang stood up, picked up the teacup, blew slowly, and asked softly: "You have followed me for so many years, do you still remember my rules?"

Qiao Laosan swallowed his saliva and said, "Remember... remember."

"You have done a lot of things under my name, but I have never made excessive demands on you. Why?" asked Mr. Xiang.

"I understand, Mr. Xiang, I know what's going on." Qiao Lao San said with a nod and a bow.
