    The old shopkeeper made the final decision, and the others nodded. They all agreed and unanimously approved that starting from tomorrow, unlimited coal sales would begin.  They were hoarding coal in order to make a fortune, and they managed to survive until the price rose to four times the original price. Although it seemed that there were wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, they were decisive when it was time to be decisive.

    Shopkeeper Ye immediately analyzed: "Although Taisheng Coal Shop is lucky and has found a lot of coal from the north, it is still far from what the capital needs. And the coal stock in our hands is ten times that of Taisheng Coal Shop.  The real mainstream in the market, the majority who cannot buy coal from Taisheng Coal Shop, still have to come to us. As long as each of us sticks to our hearts and is not swayed by external things, we will not be afraid of others interfering with the market!"

    Someone echoed: "We sixteen families should swear an oath in front of the gods to maintain the price of four cents of silver. Anyone who violates the oath and lowers the price without authorization will be abandoned by both humans and gods!"

    In fact, everyone in the sixteen families present was worried. When they heard this proposal, the whole room roared: "Okay!"

    After the oath was completed, Mr. Ye felt that as the leader of the meeting, it was necessary to say a few more words, so he warned: "Put the ugly words first. Among us here, whoever dares to betray the covenant will be the public enemy of the entire industry! Until then, don't say anything.  Not to teach but to punish.

    Also, shopping malls have their own rules, and the biggest rule is to make money!  It is impossible for Li You to use official methods to run shopping malls and use moral superiority to kidnap the people!  The plot is doomed to fail!  After they broke up, everyone knew that the owners of the coal mines in Xishan were not allowed to deliver coal to Taisheng Coal Shop from now on. I think he has no way out after selling this batch of coal, and there is nothing left to do with nothing!  "

    After everyone responded again.  Then they dispersed in twos and threes.

    Such news cannot be concealed. Li You did not go home tonight, but stayed in the store and took stock.  In the past three days, Yuanwai Yang had transported a total of 200,000 jins of coal as agreed. Including the first batch of 80,000 jins, the total has been transported to 280,000 jins.  Among them, 120,000 jins were sold, and there were still 160,000 jins left in the store, even if it snowed and temporarily blocked the road.  It's enough to last for two or three days.

    ¡°The thing that Li You was most worried about was encountering snowy weather when the store didn¡¯t have enough stock, but now he is completely relieved.

    The next day, Li You got up early in the morning and was drinking porridge by the copper charcoal basin. Suddenly he saw shopkeeper Gao hurried into the room and reported to him: "Today, all the major shops in the Coal City suddenly opened their doors. Go and inquire.  I learned that there is indeed something going on! Starting today, those 16 companies will officially start selling coal. The price is four cents per catty."

    Li You finished the porridge calmly.  He smiled and said: "Why panic? This will happen sooner or later. It was already expected."

    Shopkeeper Gao said worriedly: "I heard that they made an oath last night to keep the price of four cents of silver unchanged, and they are very determined. I understand that my boss is worried about the people and wants to benefit them, but luck is hard to come by. After all, we have in our hands  There are no millions of catties to determine the market price, so as to bring joy to all the poor people in the world.

    Even if we can¡¯t successfully suppress the coal price this time.  But the owner has tried his best, and we all see it.  Just be a person with a clear conscience.  Boss, don¡¯t be resentful!  It is impossible to patch up the sky with one hand, and manpower is sometimes exhausted!  "

    Li Daguan was stunned. The propaganda slogan was external rhetoric. How could one of his own be accidentally hit and brainwashed?  It seems that in the mind of shopkeeper Gao, he has become the incarnation of a selfless sage?

    He could only lament that the immunity of ordinary people to propaganda and indoctrination was simply not an order of magnitude worse than that of people in the officialdom.

    Shopkeeper Gao¡¯s worries are not unreasonable. No matter how popular Qingtian Coal is, the quantity is not enough to meet everyone¡¯s needs.  Others have liberalized sales. Even if the price is twice as expensive, people are forced to buy it for their daily needs.  In this case, what is the point of the owner trying to suppress the market?

    ¡°What¡¯s more, the people are very practical. They just shout slogans without practical results. As time goes by, they will not take it seriously. The reputation they have gained in the past few days will probably be lost.

    In addition to political accounts, what is even more worrying about economic accounts is that if the owners of Xishan coal mines are intimidated by their peers and refuse to deliver coal, it will be difficult for their stores to continue operating in the future.

    But it was said that shopkeeper Gao finished lamenting that his boss's ambition was difficult to realize, and then asked for instructions: "What should I say today?"

    In the past three days, Shopkeeper Gao has been instructed by Li You to give a speech in front of the crowd outside the store once a day.  Every speech was given by Li You on the spot, so Shopkeeper Gao asked for instructions like this.

    Li You thought for a while and replied: "The main words today are just sixteen words. The rest you can say based on your feelings."

    After finishing the instructions, Li You asked again: "Among the sixteen large coal shops, is there not one that is smaller and has the least amount of coal?"

    "The so-called big coal shop in the coal market has an unwritten line. If it can sell 10,000 kilograms of coal per day throughout the year, it can be called a big one. This time they stocked upYou can buy Shanxin coal at Taisheng Coal Shop, and tomorrow you can buy twenty kilograms of Qingtian coal with your ticket as a thank you!  "

    I see!  Stealing customers to the door of the store is simply too much bullying. If this continues, Yuanfeng Coal Shop will not be able to sell even a pound of coal!  Shopkeeper Tian was furious and was about to instruct his men to beat up this Taisheng coal shop man who broke the rules!  But he suddenly saw four officers and soldiers in military uniforms standing on the side of the street, each holding a knife handle and staring at him eagerly.

    "What should I do, boss?" the waiter asked cringingly.

    Shopkeeper Tian wanted to go to Taisheng Coal Shop to reason again, but then he thought about it and realized that Li You was not a reasonable person at all.  He anxiously walked around in circles a few times, and suddenly shouted to the customers: "From now on, the coal in our store will cost three cents to a pound!"

    The customer who was tempted to buy Shanxin coal suddenly heard that the price of coal here had dropped to three kilograms. He stopped listening to the clerk at Taisheng Coal Shop and rushed to shopkeeper Tian and shouted: "I want two hundred kilograms!"

    Uncle Han Zong, who was pretending to be a waiter, shook his head, sighed, "You are so wise and powerful," and headed towards the next target.

    Who says public opinion in the market is useless?  Li You sneered after learning about the price reduction.
