Chapter 385 This time and that time
It has been a month since the epidemic spread to Junji Town. Some people in Junji Town are buying medicine, but the amount of medicine purchased by individuals cannot compare with the amount of medicine used by the Baijiabao caravan.
Moreover, the Baijiapu caravan responded in a timely manner, and Junji Town was well protected. Many people even heard about the epidemic only after the Baijiapu caravan guarded it for two or three days.
Although the common people were panicked when they learned about the epidemic, with the Baijiapu caravan guarding the front, people did not contract the disease. Of course, they would only buy one or two doses of medicine to prevent it at home.
In addition, it was learned that the medicine used by the Baijiapu Caravan at the resettlement site was very effective, so people who wanted to buy it also came from the Baijiapu Caravan.
The resettlement site did not refuse the people's requests to buy medicine. In order to facilitate the people in the city to buy medicine, two stalls were set up at the city gate to sell boiled medicine soup.
As a result, the business of drug dealers is actually not as good as they expected.
Originally, the drug dealers were waiting for a big order from the Baijiabao caravan, but they kept waiting and waiting, but they never got it.
Drug dealers were puzzled.
"Strange!"
"How many medicinal materials did the Baijiapu caravan store?"
Drug dealers who specialize in medicinal materials more or less have a certain amount of medicinal materials on hand, but the main business direction of Baijiabao Caravan is not medicinal materials. It makes no sense that it has been a month and there is still no shortage of medicine.
"Could it be that someone secretly sold the medicine to the Baijiabao caravan?"
"Could it be some bastard who shamelessly betrayed the big guy?!"
It’s no wonder that some people think so. After doing business for so many years, it’s not uncommon for a mouse dropping to ruin a pot of porridge.
However, after everyone inquired around, they all held their breath in their hearts and cursed, thinking that if they found someone, they must make the person who did bad things look good.
But it soon became apparent that no one was doing this.
The main reason is that the Baijiabao caravan promised that the purchase price is low, and the drug dealers want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money, so naturally they will not agree.
If the Baijiapu Caravan had not set up a road to protect the town and spent resources to treat people infected with the epidemic, everyone would have conspired to believe that the Baijiapu Caravan was responsible for all this.
The reason why people do not doubt the Baijiapu Caravan is that the Baijiapu Caravan came to rescue those infected with the epidemic on their own initiative.
Secondly, Baijiabao Caravan's business has always been very good, but so many of its shops suddenly closed down, causing immeasurable losses.
Therefore, no one would suspect anyone but the Baijiabao caravan.
A drug dealer had a flash of inspiration and felt that he had thought of the key to the matter.
"Perhaps the Baijiapu caravan has long been interested in entering the medicinal materials business. Unexpectedly, when the epidemic hit, the medicinal materials in hand were just in use..."
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this possibility was extremely high. Otherwise, how could we explain the fact that the Baijiabao caravan was not short of medicine.
Thinking that the Baijiabao caravan might enter the medicinal materials industry, many drug dealers panicked, right? !
And as a result, the drug dealers were dumbfounded.
No, we waited for a month and even hired people to collect medicines at high prices. Now you tell us that you are not short of medicines? ? ?
Although the Baijiabao caravan never said it from beginning to end, the drug dealers never thought of this before.
Now that they had reacted, they began to panic when they looked at the medicinal materials in their warehouse.
Doing business has costs, including transportation costs, warehousing costs, labor costs, etc. The faster the shipment, the less loss, and the more money you make.
Once the goods are accumulated in your hands, it will be okay for a short time. After a certain period of time, even if you sell them later, you will still lose money.
If you want not to lose money, you have to raise the price. But there is not only one seller on the market. When other sellers have low costs and low sales prices, customers will know which one to choose as long as they are not stupid.
The drug dealers panicked, and the previous alliance was naturally shaky. They began to contact the Baijiabao caravan privately and quietly.
"Reduced price by 20%?"
"No, just the previous price."
"Reduce it by 50%? Oh, you first raise the price and then lower it by 50%. Do you think we are being wronged? No!"
"70% off? What's the price you quoted?"
"40% off? Your price is still ridiculously high even after 40% off!"
Bai Dashan and the two of them received the drug dealers one by one. He laughed angrily several times at the drug dealers' quotations.
Although these drug dealers want to sell the medicinal materials in their hands to the Baijiabao caravan, they are not willing to miss out on such a profitable situation. The price seems to have dropped, but in fact it is still expensive.
Bai Dashan: "I'll leave it here today. If the price is higher than what we said before, even if it's a penny higher, there's no need to look for it."
Really, when he is very free, waves of people come to grind him.
After these words were released, the drug dealers were angry and annoyed when they found out: "The people from the Baijiabao caravan are too domineering."
"They don't want to make money, so why do they want to involve us?"
There is an epidemic. If ten people are infected, at least eight or nine people will die. Isn’t it normal for life-saving medicinal materials to be expensive?
He actually forced them not to increase the price. Although he didn't say it directly, he wanted to buy the medicinal materials from the drug dealer at a low price. It was no different from saying it clearly.
Only some grain and oil merchants can understand the anger of the drug dealers. The people in the city don't know about it. Even if they know, they won't stand on their side.
At this time, the common people could still buy food at similar prices to usual prices. If they needed medicinal soup, they went to the city gate to buy it. The price was also very low, and they almost just charged some charcoal money.
It can be imagined how grateful the people are to the Baijiabao caravan. As long as it is mentioned, no one will not praise it.
The drug dealers were dissatisfied, but they couldn't do anything to the Baijiabao caravan. Firstly, they couldn't defeat the Baiyu Army with their hands, and secondly, they couldn't defeat the Baijiabao caravan with their money.
If they fight for people's hearts, they have no chance of winning.
So some drug dealers were unwilling to give in and had to compromise and sell more than half of the medicinal materials in their hands to the Baijiabao caravan.
Reducing your position is also one of the ways to prevent yourself from losing money.
What's more, if the epidemic hadn't suddenly occurred, the previous selling price would have been profitable.
At first, only one or two drug dealers compromised. After a few days, more and more drug dealers came to the door.
Bai Dashan: "No, we have collected a lot of medicinal materials in the past two or three days. You came late, and now we cannot collect the goods at the price half a month ago."
"We actually have a lot of medicinal materials on hand, enough to last for a while." As he said that, Bai Dashan looked like he was thinking about the pharmacists: "Otherwise, you can keep it for now."
When he said this, the drug dealer heard two things: Baijiabao Caravan had hoarded a large amount of medicinal materials, and if he did not sell the medicinal materials as soon as possible, he would suffer more and more losses.
As a result, drug dealers panicked, and many drug dealers gritted their teeth and took the initiative to lower prices again and again.
From the initial price increase to the current price reduction, it only took more than 40 days, just to sell the goods as soon as possible and reduce losses.
See you tomorrow, cuties~
