I! Cleaner! - Chapter 49: The Assets of the Richest Man
Charles Department Store headquarters…that’s twenty-two kilometers away, right?
Seeing that there was a big deal, the driver of the steam carriage suddenly became energetic. He threw away the cigarette in his hand and raised his whip to lightly slap the horse’s buttocks.
“drive!”
“Eh~”
Accompanied by the two ponies neighing in unison, thin smoke emitted from the small boiler behind the carriage, all the way up the air chimney on the carriage wall, and a gush of water came from the water tank hidden in the chassis. ring.
Next, with the squeaking sound of the engine pulsing and the clicking sound of the wheel axle rotating, the entire bottom of the carriage was lifted off the ground by the airflow. When the clatter of horse hooves hitting the street was heard, the extremely noisy steam car The carriage had already sped out seven or eight meters away.
“Guests! There are a lot of people there at Charles Department Store!”
It seems that no matter which world you are in, there is no one who can’t do this job who is not a talker. Even if the roar of the boiler is lingering in your ears, it still does not stop the steam coach driver from chatting enthusiastically. Looking in the rear view mirror After taking a glance at Leon, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
“Have you also heard about the promotion there and are you going to make a big purchase? Or is there someone in your family who got sick after drinking water from public water pipes, and are you going to register and ask for compensation?”
Doing a promotion? Register to claim compensation?
Leon, who was originally not in the mood to chat, suddenly became excited after hearing the coachman’s question. He subconsciously hugged the folder in his arms tightly and said with confusion on his face:
“Char’s Department Store…has already started compensating victims in advance? What’s going on with the promotion?”
“Ahaha, these two are actually the same thing!”
Seeing Lyon take up the conversation, the lively coachman replied cheerfully:
“Didn’t there be a problem with the public water pipes some time ago? The hydraulic company that contracted the water pipes was owned by Charles Department Store in partnership with others. However, it seems that the business situation is not good, and it has not recovered its money until now, causing Charles Department Store to be in trouble. They had no money to pay for it, and the proprietress was so anxious that she couldn’t even come up, and they almost died.
This matter really made the owner of Charles Department Store really desperate, so he just put up a sign saying he would lose money on selling goods, took out all the goods in the department store and piled them on the street, marked the prices and directly sold them for takeout at a loss. That thing was so cheap that half of the people in the royal capital probably went to grab it! “
As if talking alone was not enough to describe the magnificence of the scene, the coachman also let go of the reins and raised his hand to make a sign of “noisy gongs and drums, roaring firecrackers, waving red flags, huge crowds of people” before continuing to listen. Leon was stunned and said:
“Also, he had someone carry a large box with openings on both sides behind him. The money for selling goods here was just stuffed into the box, and the people who were queuing up to receive compensation over there could take the money directly. Except for the person counting the money and verifying the patient’s identity, the entire process was not handled by their company!
The most amazing thing is that the box is completely transparent. Everyone can see clearly how much money is inside. He is guaranteed to return a copper wheel if there is a copper wheel. In short, he will be responsible for the water power company’s affairs to the end and pay compensation. Until the department store completely closes down!
Ah ha ha! Guest, please don’t tell me. Although the old man’s company is not doing well and he loses money at every turn, he handles this matter so openly! Nowadays, many people are worried that they will go bankrupt too quickly and will be finished before they can take advantage of it, so they are rushing there like crazy! “
“…”
He paid a huge sum of money! If you continue to buy like this, he will probably lose money and become the richest man!
After hearing about the sexy operation of Charles Department Store, Leon immediately admired the “old Charles” whom he had never met before.
…
As someone who has experienced the devastation of various business routines, he really understands how much room for maneuver there is.
The prices of things in department stores are inherently cheap. People who have not experienced how low the production cost of products in the industrial era can’t imagine. If you sell a pack of three silver wheels, the production cost can be as high as Five copper wheels, I am willing to twist off my head and play it as a ball for them!
So this so-called big price cut will definitely make some money in the end! Even if it doesn’t work, you can still make a lot of money!
What’s more, the people who buy things have been stimulated to the point of losing their minds, but the people who sell things may not. In the end, isn’t it the department store’s decision to decide what to sell at a reduced price?
Those things with inflated prices, old goods that have been stored for a long time and cannot be sold, you can negotiate with the production factory for ultra-low prices, but you can just pile them out and it will be over. Anyway, Sanyinlun’s cigarettes are better You can earn 50% off, and it’s all sold out as soon as you put it on display. Why don’t you do this with all your strength?
As for losing money as soon as the money is received…what about the scammers?
The person who buys the goods can just pay the money and leave. Shouldn’t the person receiving the compensation check their identity carefully? The difference in speed between entry and exit means that no matter how big the money box is, it will still be filled. Will the department store people be able to collect the overflowing money?
Anyway, for people who come to ask for compensation, the biggest fear is that there is no money to compensate and no response. Charles Department Store has been compensating honestly and promised to compensate until the company goes bankrupt. In addition, with such a large and full store, The money box was placed there, and even if there were some voices of doubt, the people who wanted compensation would definitely not make a fuss.
After collecting the “hundreds of billions” of excess money, Charles Department Store will probably immediately go to various factories to place urgent orders, or even simply rely on its own huge shipment volume to directly “semi-force” credit with the other party, forcing The factory accepts delivery first and payment later, while also lowering the price.
In the commercial era, the one who can sell things is the boss!
This “loss-making promotion” only needs to last for a week, and it is estimated that it will drain the purchasing power of the entire capital for half a year. All department stores except Charles Department Store will lose a lot of money on the books, and those with weak foundations will be squeezed to death by the payment and storage.
As long as Charles Department Store survives, it will successfully occupy more than 90% of the retail end, and rely on its own position to kidnap most of the related factories. It is estimated that at least in the next 10 to 20 years, no one can compete with it in the department store.
As for whether the relevant departments of the kingdom will be targeted for doing such a drastic thing… What an international joke, am I making money? I am losing money! Losing money hard!
Listen carefully, everyone who is still waiting for compensation, we really want to compensate you, and we are even selling things at a loss to raise money. Didn’t you see that our boss lady fell ill directly because of the loss?
But XXX from the XX department of the kingdom, together with XX nobles and XX councillors, stood up and said that we were maliciously dumping and disrupting the market, and that I was not allowed to sell like this, so those who are waiting for compensation should go back first, and we will raise the money through normal sales. As for when we can raise the money…
Haha, that depends on when you can smash those X-X-X-X-X!
