Chapter 347: Price Increase

Luo Yuning has the authority to handle store management matters, but the decision-making power is still in Chu Yang's hands.

Luo Yuning was busy dealing with customers, so she simply forwarded Huang San's message to Chu Yang.

"Ding, Luo Yuning has forwarded a message, please check it carefully."

Just as Chu Yang was looking through the products, a message suddenly popped up in the chat box.

Huang San: I am Huang San, the shopkeeper of Yipintang. I have something to discuss with the shopkeeper of your shop today. I wonder if he is here today?

Seeing the other party's name, Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh. This guy came to contact him at this time, and he obviously couldn't stand it anymore.

In order to confirm the other party's intention, Chu Yang replied: I am the shopkeeper of Heaven and Earth, what do you want from me?

After Huang San sent the message, he kept staring at the screen, looking a little anxious. He must reach an agreement with Chu Yang as soon as possible, otherwise his store may be at risk of bankruptcy.

However, when he saw Chu Yang's reply, he still pretended to be relaxed and asked: Shopkeeper, the business of your store has been good recently, you should have made a lot of money, right?

Asking this way not only has the intention of testing the other party's tone, but also has the intention of deliberately guiding in the direction of negotiation.

After seeing the news about this shameless profiteer, Chu Yang did not start scolding him like Leng Touqing. This would not only show his incompetence and rage, but would not have any effect on the negotiation. On the contrary, it would make the other party think that you are a tough person.

Chu Yang thought for a moment and replied: Don't bother Shopkeeper Huang. Although our store doesn't make much money, we can barely make ends meet. I also plan to launch several new products recently. If Shopkeeper Huang wants to, he can continue to imitate them and help me. The store shares some of the sales pressure.

Huang San couldn't help but laugh after reading it. The first half of Chu Yang's answer was just as he expected. Even an inexperienced seller would not be able to tell his competitors that he was losing money at this time.

What's more, for a stubborn person like Chu Yang, no matter how much he loses, he will definitely say that he has made a profit as long as he still has a breath left, which is what the proverb says.

However, what he didn't expect was that Chu Yang suddenly changed the subject and told him that he planned to launch new products. At this time of fierce competition, wasn't he afraid of being imitated again?

This time, Huang San felt unsure. He was still not sure whether Chu Yang was joking.

Huang San didn't dare to make another mistake, and his attitude became respectful subconsciously: Shopkeeper Chu, I'm here today to discuss the price reduction with you. Do you have time?

Chu Yang replied: Why, didn't you lower the price first? Are you looking for me now to get higher?

When it came to this issue, Chu Yang naturally understood what Huang San meant. However, he did not save face for the other party and pointed out the core of the problem straightforwardly.

Huang San said: That's it. I have a small business in my shop, and I have no choice but to make a living. The previous approach was indeed inappropriate, but this is also a common practice in the industry. Please bear with me, Shopkeeper Chu. In a few days, the sales volume of our store has also increased a lot, so I am embarrassed to use this method to compete with your store anymore. How about we discuss and raise the price again?

Seeing this, a trace of ridicule appeared on Chu Yang's face. He had long expected that Yipintang was selling at a loss. As long as he persisted, he would definitely not be able to last long before he came to find him. Now it seems that it has come true.

Unfortunately, Chu Yang had no intention of accepting Huang San's proposal. Yipintang was the first to initiate the price war. The business of his own store was doing well, but because of his interference, most of the profits were cut off.

According to Luo Yuning's rough estimate, the loss due to the price reduction alone was as high as nearly one million spiritual stones. How could Chu Yang not be heartbroken?

Now Huang San, the instigator, wants to stop the loss and make peace with the reason of thinking about heaven and earth. How can there be such a good thing in this world!

Chu Yang sneered and swiped the phone screen and replied: Shopkeeper Huang, your suggestion is very good, but I choose... to refuse!

When Huang San saw the news for the first time, he subconsciously became happy. It seemed that heaven and earth couldn't bear it anymore. He had been looking forward to making peace with him for a long time, and now he just gave him a chance. It's strange that this man named Chu didn't agree!

However, when he saw the last two words, he couldn't help but froze.

"Why would he refuse?"

Huang San's expression changed sharply. He didn't know if Chu Yang was joking or if he was out of his mind. He would rather sell at a loss than increase the price. This is obviously not the way a businessman should think.

Huang San was a little unwilling and replied again: Shopkeeper, please don't be angry with me. We are in business, so why should we think about it? There is no need to let the spirit stones go unprofitable. If you are willing to increase the price, I, Huang San, will I am willing to take a step back and set the price higher than your store, which can be regarded as my sincerity.

If the price is only a little higher, it won't lose too many customers. The orders leaked from heaven and earth are enough for Yipintang to earn some spiritual stones, so it is still acceptable.

This gesture was indeed very low, enough to show that Huang San was sincere in making peace. However, his tone also made Chu Yang certain that Huang San was under great pressure now. Otherwise, why would he choose this method? ?

Chu Yang was too lazy to say more and said directly: "No, I'm very satisfied with the current price. If Shopkeeper Huang is willing, he can increase the price by himself, and I won't have any objections."

Huang San almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Now Chu Yang's store sales volume is already ranked first. If the price of Yipintang is more expensive than heaven and earth, I am afraid not many customers will choose to spend money in his store.

"Shop Manager Chu, please think carefully. This is not a deal involving tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Let's make money by being friendly. Maybe we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future. You'd better not be angry."

Huang San was extremely anxious, and his tone softened, even with some pleading.

"No need, we have nothing to talk about. If you have any other tricks, just try them out, I'll take them all!"

Chu Yang sneered, closed the chat window directly, and ignored Huang San's messages again.

After sending several messages in a row, Huang San did not get a reply from Chu Yang, and he already knew that Chu Yang was determined to sell at a low price.

If that's the case, then he must raise the price, otherwise he won't be able to hold on.

Thinking of this, Huang San immediately took action and modified the store price, setting it to a state of neither loss nor profit, so as not to lose too much customer traffic.

After changing the price, Huang San kept staring at the store backstage and found that in the following hour or so, the store's traffic really dropped a lot.

In addition, many customers went directly back to Tianshang Renjian to place orders after comparing prices and products. The sales volume lost in just this hour alone amounted to tens of thousands of spirit stones!

The loss of customers is not the main issue. Before Huang San could wait for the store to improve, his brothers came to him first.

Just as Huang San was thinking about how to keep the customers, Liu Xiaotie sneaked in.

Huang San frowned and asked, "Why are you here now?"

Liu Xiaotie smiled and said, "Boss, Brother Zhao and the others asked you why the price suddenly increased. Is there something wrong with our business?"

Brother Zhao is one of the customer service staff of Yipintang. After the store's product prices are modified, they will definitely not be able to hide it from their eyes!
