Uncle Huangfu never leaves home on weekdays, and he only makes a special trip to support the grocery store on its opening day.

Today, when he was transporting a set of tables and chairs to a family in the village, he took the opportunity to wander around Mu's grocery store and buy some gadgets.

Unexpectedly, when he walked into the deserted grocery store with almost no movement, his old and wrinkled face was full of astonishment, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "What happened? No one came." ah!?"

Uncle Huangfu scratched his head in confusion and walked in without knowing why. There was not a single customer inside, which was very different from the first day he came here to support him. He thought he was an old fool and came too early, and looked towards the horizon outside. Looking up, I saw the blazing sun and made sure I was not dazzled.

"Uncle Huangfu? You're always here." In the grocery store, Mu Zhengyuan was sitting leisurely at the tea table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, sipping it slowly with his head down, when he heard someone coming in. When there was movement, he raised his head, looked over, stood up immediately, and greeted warmly.

"Ouch... Mu Laosan, why is there no one in your grocery store?" Uncle Huangfu nodded silently and greeted, and looked around carefully. He didn't even see half of the customers, so he had to He asked blankly.

Mu Zhengyuan just smiled calmly and briefly explained Tong Guixiang's malicious price reduction so that the old man Huangfu could understand it.

Uncle Huangfu rarely interacted with Boss Tong on weekdays. When he heard Mu Zhengyuan's explanation, he clapped his hands angrily and said, "Oh! What should I do? Why doesn't she have any love in her heart?" Have a good idea!”

"It's okay, don't worry, uncle, I know it well." Seeing that Uncle Huangfu was sincerely worried about his grocery store, Mu Zhengyuan chuckled and shook his head, still calmly signaling.

He has never been afraid of Tong Guixiang's unfair competition, and he has never thought about competing with her by lowering prices or harming his own interests.

After all, for a businessman, the balance between costs and benefits is crucial. Without benefits, the business cannot survive at all.

Now, Mu Zhengyuan knew that what he needed to do was to wait calmly for Tong Guixiang's defeat at the grocery store.

Uncle Huangfu was still a little worried and murmured a few times: "It's not good if no one comes to do business. Wait until I call a few acquaintances to come over and warm up the place for you. There aren't even any customers in the shop. Who would be willing to come?" Yo..."

Mu Zhengyuan thanked Uncle Huangfu sincerely for his kindness, but he was not worried at all that his business would be affected.

After all, Tong Guixiang was just the owner of a grocery store in the village. In his early years, he traveled all over the country and did countless businesses. He also dealt with all kinds of business opponents. It was impossible for him to be anxious about such inferior competition methods.

It can be said that in the business world, no one in such a large exile village can compare with Mu Zhengyuan.

……

Sure enough, in just a few days, Tong Guixiang's grocery store couldn't make ends meet and almost lost money selling things at low prices. It must have been unbearable.But she tasted the sweetness of being overcrowded, especially when she passed by Mu's deserted grocery store every day, she couldn't help but walk past with her head held high and her chest high, feeling proud that she couldn't suppress it no matter what.

More importantly, the villagers are just ordinary people who accept low-priced goods. If they arbitrarily raise the prices of grocery store goods, they will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among customers and lose all customers at once.

Tong Guixiang had tasted the consequences of riding a tiger, and had no choice but to change her purchasing channels and purchase goods at a lower price. At the same time, the quality of this batch of goods was naturally extremely poor.

She had no other way. After all, cheap goods are not good. If she wanted to reduce costs, she could only buy some cheap and poor products as much as possible. Some of these products were far from enough, some were half good or bad, and even some were not. Rice noodles are less susceptible to moisture and mold.

Tong Guixiang had a clear idea of ​​the batch of goods she bought at a low price, but now she could only do this. She carefully buried the moldy rice noodles deep in the bag, and secretly muttered confidently: Cheap goods are not good goods. If you want to buy my mother's goods cheaply, you have to bear the consequences!
It was naturally difficult to hide this kind of business from the villagers, but within a day, a dozen villagers came to the door one after another, and banged the door of Tong Guixiang's grocery store early in the morning. .

"Come out! Boss Tong! Tell me, all the rice I bought home last night has black spots!"

"Boss Tong, you can't do business without conscience. Several of the sets of bowls I bought were cracked and couldn't hold anything at all!"

"Open the door! Tong Guixiang, I ate the noodles you sold last night and had diarrhea for half an hour this morning!"

The door of the grocery store was almost smashed by a group of indignant villagers. Tong Guixiang inside naturally did not dare to go out to confront the villagers, so she had to hide inside silently and act like a coward.

The villagers couldn't find a way to vent their anger, so they all smashed down the plaque outside Tong Guixiang's house in anger.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the wooden signboard of the grocery store fell to the ground in an instant, making a heavy noise and split into two sides in an instant.

Tong Guixiang hid in the house in fear. When she heard the movement, her heart skipped a beat.

The life of the people in the exiled village was not easy. Now that they had been sold a batch of cheap goods by Tong Guixiang for nothing, they naturally wanted to ask for an explanation. They stayed at the door noisily and refused to leave, and each person kicked the piece into pieces. The cracked signboard has left all kinds of footprints!
After all, Tong Guixiang still had to live in the exile village. After the villagers made a fuss, she had to come out and apologize to them one by one, and compensate them with money.

In particular, almost all the villagers who became ill after eating the rice and noodles she sold were compensated by Tong Guixiang in equal amounts for their medical expenses. The villagers who had just bought something from her were so frightened that they came over to return the goods one after another.

In just one day, Tong Guixiang spent a lot of money to compensate the villagers, almost bleeding a lot, and suffered a lot from the malicious price competition.

Due to this incident, her grocery store had almost no credibility in the hearts of the villagers, and it could not continue to operate at all, so she had to close the grocery store. (End of chapter)
