The third day was an exceptionally sunny day. The light from the blue sky generously fell on Lin Sanjiu's shoulders. When she opened the door of the Big Cat Hotel, the owner of a pancake shop next door immediately stuck his head out and greeted her enthusiastically: "...are you going out?"
"Yes," she smiled and nodded, looking very amiable under the McDuck imitation: "How is business today?"
"That's great! The pancake shops on the other roads are not good. Without eggs, they can't be sold at all." The owner of the pancake shop happily knocked on the shovel in his hand, "I heard that eggs are out of stock in the market recently. , the price has also increased outrageously. I was a little worried at first, but I didn't expect that you are so powerful and you were able to prepare a batch of eggs for me so quickly... This time it is really thanks to you. ."
Lin Sanjiu smiled, put his hands in the pockets of his bathrobe, and walked towards Yunlai Exchange.
The pancake shop owner came to her yesterday and told her that there were no eggs in his shop and business was not going well. Although he was speaking in a roundabout way, the meaning was quite clear: it seemed that he was afraid that Lin Sanjiu would not be able to deliver the eggs. Upon hearing this, Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything and immediately gave him the 50 kilograms of goods he originally ordered. He also said, "This is specially prepared for you in advance." The pancake shop owner was very grateful. Fan.
Giving eggs in advance was certainly not because she wanted to help.
The purpose of hoarding all the eggs on the market is not to make everyone have no eggs to eat, but to let a few people have eggs to eat, artificially turning them into a scarce resource-only in this way can the price be high. Go; if eggs were completely gone, there would surely be an egg substitute. So like the 50 pounds of eggs sold yesterday, these 50 pounds are also to better stimulate the market.
If this was a real market, McDuck's method might not be effective at all; but the market simulated by Starry Sky Amusement Park is a relatively closed environment. It not only greatly simplifies the complexity, but also has a very high degree of authenticity. This trick is tailor-made for this.
When Lin Sanjiu walked to Yunlai Exchange, the door had been opened early by the waiter; for two days in a row, he was almost knocked down by her rushing into the store. Obviously, he also learned his lesson and opened the door early. The door opened in five minutes: "Hey, sir, you are still so punctual! I have a good news for you. The price of eggs has gone up again! I have also bought the batch of cakes you asked me to collect yesterday. I am waiting for you to trade physical strength. ”
Of course, Lin Sanjiu had expected that the price of eggs had increased again. She smiled and glanced at the notice board. I saw that the current average market price of eggs has indeed climbed to 2.8 physical value/jin.
...The market has just opened now, and she still has one day to bring the egg price to the price she has agreed with the three manufacturers.
Turning her head, she asked the waiter: "What was the price of yesterday's batch of cakes?"
"A total of 120 pieces. On average, each piece is 20 points," the waiter smiled enthusiastically: "Including the handling fee. A total of 2472 physical points."
"What about eggs?"
"Hey, you asked. I don't know why, but as soon as the market opened today, the eggs released by the three manufacturers suddenly increased several times compared to yesterday - a full 1,150 kilograms! Those who made the purchase operation At that time, the price was still 2.6. So your batch of eggs has a total of 3080 stamina points."
Even though he spent so much at once, when Lin Sanjiu sat in his old seat, his fingers tapped the armrest of the chair. But a smile slowly appeared on his face.
... Just as she had agreed upon the plan with three egg producers yesterday, they succeeded in terminating their contracts with four large restaurants; among the 1,150 kilograms of eggs today. Apparently 800 kilograms of it was supposed to be supplied to those restaurants.
The step of terminating the contract came to Lin Sanjiu in his "McDuck" state after getting some important information from the manufacturer.
In such a relatively closed market environment, as she analyzed, the competition between the three egg producers is indeed very fierce - the market is only so big, and there are only a few target large customers, but there are not many producers. less; in addition, small businesses can basically not digest their production surplus, and it has always been a buyer's market - that is to say, the original average egg price of 0.6, after fierce price wars, the three manufacturers The bottom price was hit by chance.
It is said that before Lin Sanjiu got involved, these three manufacturers had long been worried about reducing inventory and raising prices, so when she sent the message, she quickly got the answer she wanted.
The contract signed between the manufacturer and the restaurant is an "exclusive supply contract". It stands to reason that the restaurant cannot purchase goods outside of the supplier - in order to achieve this exclusive supply condition, the manufacturer must not even Do not lower the price of eggs below the market price. It's just that in a buyer's market, such a contract is not very binding; even if the restaurant finds someone else to purchase the goods, no manufacturer is willing to actually terminate the contract.
...unless the manufacturers are prompted by external forces to join forces.
This is exactly what Lin Sanjiu did.
The deal proposed by Kurosawa Masaru at this time was a bait to lure them into taking it, so that the restaurants could buy the eggs from him and break the contract first - but if that was all, it was still possible. Not big: If there are smart people who think about the market situation and refuse to eat this batch of eggs, it is very possible.
In order to ensure that none of these restaurants would fall into the trap, Lin Sanjiu came up with a second method.
Under her instructions, the three manufacturers came to an "exchange" - each manufacturer sent a message to restaurants that were not their customers, saying that the price of eggs has risen sharply, and even with a contract, there is no guarantee. Their original egg supplier did not raise prices; however, they were different and were still willing to continue to provide products at prices lower than the market price, hoping to win over the other party as a customer.
With the second supplier as a fallback, these large stores really relaxed their vigilance, took the bait thrown by Kurosawa Ji, and produced a batch of raw materials that cost almost no money. Pastries come. When Kurosawa Ji said he couldn't buy so much, it was already getting late and it was about to close. In order to sell this batch of pastries as soon as possible, the prices of these restaurants have also been reduced by a few points compared to before.
As soon as Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on this batch of pastries, she gave the waiter an instruction to "buy before the market closes."
There are four restaurants in total. The reason why she only sold them 200 kilograms through Kurosawa Ji is because the small number is not easy to arouse alert; secondly, because her physical strength is running low, she must control their production. Scale - As expected, each family only got a few dozen kilograms of eggs. Only 120 pastries were made. She just happened to be able to afford it.
Now, Lin Sanjiu has a total of 2977 physical points and 3300 kilograms of eggs. As well as 600 pieces of pastries.
"What should we do next?" Teacher Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, the market has just opened now," Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox - if it weren't for his [Conscious Mimicry] ability. I'm afraid she will never be able to make such an expression in her life: "...Give those restaurants some time. It will take them a while to realize that there is no supply today."
Things went more smoothly than Lin Sanjiu expected. Twenty minutes later, the first egg purchase message from one of the four major restaurants appeared on the bulletin board.
This piece of information immediately caused the entire market to explode.
The average egg market price is constantly flashing, after each flash. The number will increase upward a little, and finally reach an astonishing 5; however, no matter how firmly the price rises, the market inventory always shows "extremely low".
To add another spoonful of oil to the fire. Lin Sanjiu immediately posted the news of "buying eggs with 6 stamina points" - and immediately after, her private mailbox was suddenly bombarded with a barrage of messages - the waiter broke out in a sweat. Before a message could be retrieved, three or four more had already come in; some expressed admiration for No. 57, some condemned it, and many more were planning to buy some eggs from her.
Lin Sanjiu didn't even reply. She just said, "Except for news from the four major restaurants, you don't need to show me anything else." Then she began to wait patiently.
Finally half an hour later, the other three restaurants also gave in.
The first person to send her a message was "lips" whom she had dealt with several times.
"I know you don't plan to stay here for a long time, so I'll let you succeed this time," the tone of this message was very strong, "...don't you just want to make a profit and leave? Here you go. Please set a price for the eggs you serve!"
Lin Sanjiu smiled but did not reply.
The news from the other two dessert shops was much kinder.
"I don't know what to call you, but let me open the door. Our daily output is large, and the main material is eggs, so I hope you can consider it and negotiate at a price that is acceptable to both of us. Let’s talk about this business.”
lips restaurant uses the fewest eggs, no wonder they are the toughest - Lin Sanjiu thought about it, randomly picked a dessert shop called "Mint Leaf", and responded nonchalantly: "Are you right? What do you think of the strawberry red lip cake?"
The other party was obviously a little confused, but still replied quickly: "...This is Lips' signature dessert. Even if others get the recipe, they can't make it. It can be said that it is famous."
That's good.
Lin Sanjiu, who was in McDuck mode, had another idea in his mind.
"You have also seen that no store on the market has eggs now... Not only you, no one can make anything containing eggs."
"Yes, you mean..."
"I can provide you with 20 pieces of strawberry red lip cakes and 200 pieces of other dishes. Each piece of red lip cake has 30 stamina points, and each piece of other desserts has 28 stamina points. To show my sincerity, I promise you the next I will not sell eggs within four hours. When I sell eggs, I guarantee that the market price will reach 8 stamina points per catty. How about that?"
It is already a great advantage to sell when all competitors are out of stock - not to mention, even if the competitors have bought the eggs, due to the cost of their desserts, the selling price will be far from enough. Comparable to himself; in almost ten minutes, Lin Sanjiu sold 220 desserts to "Mint Leaf", and the other party paid the handling fee, and got back 6,200 physical points, with a total of 9,177 physical points on hand. .
Based on the daily sales simulated by Starry Sky Amusement Park, this can only meet half of the dessert market requirements - however, after Lin Sanjiu teamed up with three egg manufacturers to release a piece of news, the impact was Like a stormy sea.
"Player No. 57 is currently discussing possible cooperation with egg producers, and plans to acquire three producers on the market and merge them into one. The progress is going smoothly, and the contract is said to have been signed."
This news was like a spark that fell on gasoline. Coupled with the various inducements she had laid out before, it finally set off a crazy market. Everyone was guessing what No. 57 would decide after the monopoly. The price has come; and due to her aggressive style these days, the market is generally bullish on the future egg price, so the current egg price has soared to 7.5, which has never been so high.
And the remaining eggs that were deliberately given to supermarkets and pancake shops have long since been tempted and flowed into the market, turning around and continuing to inflate the bubble even more.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Sanjiu waved his hand gently: "It's fat enough, it's time to kill him."
...This time, even Lips finally let go of his arrogance.
Due to some changes, Lin Sanjiu had too much inventory at this time, so she set a minimum purchase amount; the minimum purchase amount reported to Lips and other large restaurants was 400 kilograms, per kilogram 8 stamina points - Except for Mint Leaf, the three large restaurants had no choice but to place orders one after another, no matter how reluctant they were. Perhaps he was worried that the price of eggs would rise even more outrageously in the future, so the three restaurants ordered a total of 1,600 kilograms. Lin Sanjiu quickly recovered 12,800 stamina points and finally earned the money back.
"I have to move faster," Lin Sanjiu muttered to himself, "Once those egg producers find out that I have set a minimum purchase quantity, they will know that I am cheating them... Sell all the remaining eggs quickly."
For small businesses, she can neither sell too much nor sell them too expensively; at a price of 6 stamina worth a pound, she finally sold another 700 pounds of eggs - it turns out that everyone thinks that eggs will still be available in the future The price has gone up, so I buy more than usual.
At present, Lin Sanjiu's physical strength has reached 26,177 points - she has earned the physical strength for clearing the level, and she still has 380 dessert dishes and a thousand kilograms of eggs left.
As soon as the front-end transaction was completed, the back-end egg price suddenly dropped from 7.5 to 4. The occurrence of such a fluctuation shows that the three egg producers finally realized something was wrong: No. 57 sold more than 100,000 yuan at a time at a high price. Eggs that cannot be digested by the market, then when this batch of eggs is digested, their own egg production will pile up again - it will still be a buyer's market, but this time, they have lost a big customer.
"It's a risk, it's a risk. Next," Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly, exhaled, and asked the waiter to delete hundreds of messages: "I will slowly sell out at a price far lower than the market price. Selling these desserts and eggs."
Teacher Yi was already stunned.
"That old duck..." she murmured, "he actually tricked everyone in this market."
"I tell you~IndoMTL.com~ As if hearing some praise, Lin Sanjiu laughed: "I don't dare to do this in business, but now I can shoot and leave without cheating anyone. Don’t be fooled, this feels really enjoyable! ”
With enough physical strength, the next step is easy.
Using the money to buy all the goods and adding 150 kilograms of eggs, Lin Sanjiu finally paid off all the debts of the merchants on the Pumpkin Road and avoided being punished by Starry Sky Amusement Park. fate. After her low-price dumping that almost completely disrupted the market, 320 desserts and 850 pounds of eggs brought her a total of 2815 physical points——
Wearing a newly purchased combat vest and shorts, Lin Sanjiu sat on the Pumpkin Road and basked in the sun.
When her eyes fell on the figures that appeared in the distance at an unknown time, she jumped up with a smile: "Let's go! I will finish this level for you!" (To be continued.)
