Chapter 12 Control the overall situation
(During the new book, please recommend it, please collect it...)
The Liu family and Jin Yulou immediately released news that Chen Fangyuan and the Kou family spent money to hurt people in order to increase the value of Chenlou.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted strong dissatisfaction in the restaurant industry. According to the Ming Dynasty's laws, raising prices was illegal, especially in the stools. However, the prices stipulated by the law mostly refer to food, silk, and other necessities for people's lives, such as restaurants, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and commodities that have nothing to do with the people. The court will not care about them. You just don't buy them. This is not illegal, it is a matter of professional ethics.
Since you are playing Chenlou like this, it’s simplest. If we don’t buy these restaurants, we will no longer go to Kou’s house to ask about them.
At the same time, they also gave up sending people to the city gate to make trouble.
They all know Chen Fangyuan's family background, and they hurt people with their original intention. Haha, it depends on how long you can hurt.
Zuixiao Tower.
"Owner, now other restaurants are boycotting Chenlou, and no one cares about Kou's family. This usually happens, but it's a good time to lower the price, you see..."
Meng Qi, the shopkeeper of Zuixiao Tower, reported to Cao Da.
Cao Da frowned and said, "But have you ever thought that Chenlou's purpose is to raise the price of Chenlou? If he still lowers the price, wouldn't it be worth the loss? I think even if it is to lower it, it will not drop for the time being, and the price may increase."
Meng Qi said: "Why don't you know what the boss planned?"
"This is too strange, and I don't understand it very well."
Cao Da shook his head and said, "We should not act rashly for the time being, let's take a look. Send someone to pay close attention to the movements of the Kou family and Chen Lou."
.....
Chen Lou.
"This...is this true?"
Chen Fangyuan suddenly stood up, looked at his butler Chen Ji incredibly, and said in a trembling voice: "He... do they really think I'm hurting people with this?"
Chen Ji nodded and said, "This is true, as if everything was as Guo Dan expected, and they did not send anyone to the city gate to make trouble."
"How is this possible?"
Chen Fangyuan's eyes were a little dull, and he sat down slowly, muttering to himself: "They won't send someone to investigate to see if I'm hurting people with me? Or... or is Guo Dan really good at magic?"
Chen Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know this. Maybe it's because this is a message sent by the Liu family, so they all believe it."
Since the return voucher was just released and no one had played it before, the profits were not easy to calculate, but the Liu family was an expert in this field after all, and it was first-rate to estimate the price. If they sent someone to investigate carefully, they should be able to determine whether this was hurting people with their original intentions.
But the problem is that Liu Chengbian has already made preconceived thoughts about how he would get the foolish nerd who would lie to him while drunk. Moreover, the actions of Chen Lou and Kou families fully confirmed this, and he did not send anyone to investigate carefully.
“Anyway, the current situation is really good for us.”
Chen Fangyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Now we just need to use our own tricks and immediately increase the price of Chenlou, so that they really think that I am hurting people with this to increase the price of Chenlou. You can arrange it, and I will go to Kou's house tomorrow."
On the morning of the next day, Chen Fangyuan came to the Kou family under the gaze of everyone.
Kou Shouxin and Kou Yi are also on guard!
They are now in vain and don’t know what Chen Fangyuan was planning.
Therefore, during this encounter, Kou Shouxin tentatively said: "Brother Chen is here today, but to end the cooperation with our Kou family?"
Chen Fangyuan pretended to be surprised and said, "Why do you say that?"
Kou Shouxin smiled and said, "You Chenlou's business is very good recently. You have compared Jinyulou. I don't think you need to sell the store anymore."
Alas... Whether to sell or not is not my final decision, but your son-in-law has the final decision. You came to ask me, it was so annoying. Chen Fangyuan glanced slightly, Guo Dan was not present, and was very disappointed, but said, "If I had my brother as young as I was, even if the business was bad, I wouldn't sell a store. Unfortunately, I am old now and I really can't do it and don't want to continue working. I came here today, mainly to notify you that it would not be sold separately. I think it would be better to sell it together."
As soon as these words were spoken, Kou Shouxin, Kou Weisha and Kou Yi's eyes flashed at the same time.
They were all wondering, was it really as rumors from the outside world that Chen Fangyuan was hurting people with his original intention and raising the price of Chenlou.
Because they had previously guessed that Chen Fangyuan was just making a fool of himself and it was impossible to split Chenlou for sale. Now that he has adjusted it, that is, Chen Fangyuan really intends to sell Chenlou, which also proves from the side that the rumors outside are true.
Kou Weisha nodded and said, "Chenlou's business is so good now that there is no need to split it up and sell it."
"Since all the virtuous niece said this, it must be wrong." Chen Fangyuan laughed and said, "In addition, I want to make some adjustments in terms of price."
Kou Shouxin was already prepared and asked, "But I don't know how Brother Chen plans to adjust?"
Chen Fangyuan said: "Eight thousand taels."
"Eight thousand taels?"
Kou Shouxin woman said in unison.
Although they had already expected that Chen Fangyuan would definitely raise the price, the price had far exceeded their expectations. They couldn't help but wonder how much you have spent to hurt people with your expenses, and it directly increased by 3,000 taels.
Chen Fangyuan was dissatisfied and said, "What? Do you think my Chenlou is not worth so much money?"
Kou Shouxin and his daughter couldn't help but look at each other.
Kou Shouxin was silent for a little, and then said, "Brother Chen, we have known each other for a long time, so I won't beat around the bush. According to our estimates, it is difficult for Chenlou to sell at this price."
In fact, many of the businesses of dentists are price estimation, ranging from restaurants to calligraphy and paintings, so dentists are very sensitive in terms of price.
Chen Fangyuan said, "You also said it's an estimate. How can you take this estimate seriously? Besides, you haven't seen how prosperous Chenlou's business is. It's only three thousand taels. That's right. You haven't worked in a restaurant, so you still don't know whether it's clear!"
Kou Shouxin frowned, feeling a little unhappy. It was our business to estimate the price. You are questioning our profession. You thought to yourself, everyone saw your trick and knew that you were just at the end of your strength. Not to mention eight thousand taels, no one came to ask about five thousand taels.
Seeing Kou Shouxin silent, Chen Fangyuan said, "If you think this deal cannot be done, it doesn't matter. I'll find someone else."
Kou Weisha immediately said: "Uncle Chen, please rest assured. Our Kou family will definitely do its best and will never disappoint Uncle Chen."
Kou Shouxin glanced at his daughter and knew in his heart that Kou Weisha would not let the deal slip away easily because she wanted to use it to attack the Liu family. But this price really made him a little worried, but he finally chose to support Kou Weisha. After all, Kou Weisha had always dominated this transaction.
"Is that right?"
Chen Fangyuan smiled and asked casually: "By the way, is there someone sent to ask around Jinyulou?"
Kou Shouxin replied truthfully: "Jin Yulou once entrusted the Liu family to come here to inquire, but we had something to say first, so we politely declined."
