The first thousand two hundred and five chapters
"The lucky thing about Elder Tuoba is to meet." Ge Dongxu bowed politely.
"Elder Ge." Tuoba Leng nodded expressionlessly, and there was still a hint of coldness in his voice, as if he wanted to keep people from thousands of miles away.
"Elder Ge, don't be surprised. Elder Tuoba's face is cold and warm. He has this kind of personality and treats everyone the same. There was originally an alchemist and three masters of medicine in Baiyatang, but only Elder Tuoba stayed unmoved. Otherwise, Lu Jiaolong would not have to come to Qin Mansion to talk about the acquisition, and we would have to close the door directly." Qin Yaying said.
"I know pine and cypress in the coldest years, and true feelings are revealed in times of adversity. The horsepower is known from afar, and people's hearts are seen over time. People like Elder Tuoba are the most admired, and I will not be surprised." Ge Dongxu nodded, and saw Tuoba's cold eyes flashing with a hint of appreciation and thinking.
"It's a pity that I am a little talented and knowledgeable, and I can't bear to use it!" Tuoba said coldly, and his old face covered in scars showed a bitter smile, looking even more ferocious and gloomy.
"Elder Tuoba should not say that. If you are willing to stay, it is already the best support for the Qin family. As for the business of this Baiyaotang, it is no wonder that you are so deserted. There are four masters of the alchemy in Xuancaotang, and the traitor Zhuang Yuran, who is in charge. Elder Tuoba is also alone!" Qin Yaying sighed quietly.
"In fact, Baiyaotang's business is not entirely because Elder Tuoba is unable to support it. Another big reason is the business problem. If Baiyaotang's business strategy is well used, even if the business cannot compare with Xuancaotang, it will definitely not be much worse." Ge Dongxu interrupted.
"Baiyaotang has a history of two hundred years and has always been operating like this. Not only Baiyaotang is like this, but other pharmacies are actually similar. According to Elder Ge's wishes, could it be possible to change the business method to make Baiyaotang better? How is this possible? There is an alchemist in Xuancaotang!" Qin Yaying looked at Ge Dongxu in surprise when he heard this.
"It is impossible to do it with your heart!" Ge Dongxu smiled confidently when he heard this.
Today, the earth has already entered a stage of high development of the commodity economy. Here, Ge Dongxu has just walked along the way, but found that he is still in the natural economy of feudal society, and the commodity economy is still in its infancy.
Who is Ge Dongxu? When he was in high school, most of the students would only ask for money from their families. When they only knew to study, he had already started to study economics, invest in factories, and buy land. In just a few years, he founded several large companies and became the real richest man secretly unknown in China.
Although Ge Dongxu was a hand-off manager later and said modestly that he could not do business, he could have such a accurate vision and could have founded several large companies behind the bosses. How could he really not know how to do business?
It is no exaggeration to say that Ge Dongxu is definitely a business genius!
Now Ge Dongxu, a business genius from a highly developed society of commodity economy, has come to a place that is still in the natural economic stage of feudal society. If you really want to save a mere pharmacy, it would be useless!
"What do you mean?" Qin Yaying was even more surprised and suspicious when she saw Ge Dongxu's confident expression. Tuoba Leng had already frowned, and the eyes at Ge Dongxu were already a little unkind.
He is a poor man who has suffered a lot of suffering since childhood. He has always been taciturn and dislikes the most.
"Cangming City is not the capital Pinghuan City, how many people can afford elixirs? Most of the time, Zhuang Yuran is just a decoration and signboard. Most of the time, most people buy just ordinary soups, plasters or pills. There are these Xuancaotang, and our Baiyaotang also have them. I think the same price and the same medicine, our quality will not be inferior to that of Xuancaotang." Ge Dongxu said.
"Of course!" Tuoba said arrogantly.
"That's all? We have medicines in Xuancaotang, but Xuancaotang has one more signboard," said Ge Dongxu.
"But people just recognize this sign!" Qin Yaying said with a wry smile.
"That's because the rest of your Baiyaotang is almost the same as Xuancaotang. Xuancaotang has the advantage of Zhuang Yuran, the signboard of Xuancaotang. Once Xuancaotang is promoted, the advantage will naturally be infinitely expanded. They are all the same things, the same price, and even the same shopping environment for medical treatment. It's me, I also choose Xuancaotang!" Ge Dongxu said.
"What do you mean is a price war? We have used this method a long time ago, but after a while, we gave up. On the one hand, the price is too low, and we can't hold on for a long time. On the other hand, the state has national laws and industry rules, and our pricing is too low. Pharmacy in other parts of the Nanlan Kingdom will have opinions." Qin Yaying shook her head and said.
"Look at this Buyuan Qing Shenling Pill, you are selling for one bottle of one thousand gold coins. If it is changed to nine hundred and ninety-eight gold coins, it should not be considered a price war, right?" Ge Dongxu pointed to a bottle of pills suitable for monks below the eighth level of Qi training at the counter and asked.
"The spiritual pill with one thousand gold coins was reduced by only two gold coins, so it was naturally not considered a price war." Qin Yaying said without thinking when she heard this.
"Then the five hundred gold coins will be changed to four hundred and ninety-nine, right?" Ge Dongxu pointed to another drug and said.
"Of course not counting." Qin Yaying replied, but this time there was a hint of confusion on her face. I don't know what the purpose of Ge Dongxu's question was.
"Since that's the case, then remove all the integer-priced drugs. The same is true for the drugs downstairs. One gold coin will be changed to nine silver coins." Ge Dongxu said.
"Why? It's so easy to settle the price as an integer. You're not asking for trouble?" Qin Ling'er immediately shouted.
"Yes, Elder Ge, I also think what Ling'er said makes sense. Your approach really puzzled me." Qin Yaying also frowned slightly.
"If the young lady believes me, she will do what I do. In fact, it won't take much effort. As for why she does this, I will tell you again after a while. Now I will say it in vain." Ge Dongxu smiled slightly.
Nowadays, retail supermarkets on earth use the "lower ladder" price positioning method to address customers' desire for integrity.
For example, if a product worth 1,000 yuan is priced at 998 yuan, the merchant will not let customers realize that the item is actually over 1,000 yuan, so that customers will be more likely to accept it.
Of course, there are other things that customers will feel that the odd number is less than even number, and the fraction is more accurate than the integer, making customers feel that the merchant’s pricing is accurate and they will feel that the merchant has a sense of trust.
These are the conclusions drawn by some institutions on Earth after conducting psychological tests on a large number of customers. Ge Dongxu naturally cannot explain to Qin Yaying and others that these subtle changes in prices can change people's views on merchants and make people more willing to pay for them. Even if he explains this way, Qin Yaying and others probably won't believe it.
Since this is the case, it is natural that it will be more convincing to wait for the result to reveal the answer.
