200: Chapter 200: Sinister Trick 200: Chapter 200: Sinister Trick San looked at the words in the fourth envelope over and over, finally handed it to Fang with a face full of helplessness.
Fang, after reading it, was also stunned and passed the letter to Li.
The letter was passed among the three, and everyone’s expression was the same, completely puzzled.
San said, “Why would the boss give such an order?”
Fang said, “Could the boss have made a mistake?
Did he add two extra zeros?”
Because the fourth letter wrote — Pricing at 100 yuan.
The Stabilizing Pill originally was 1 yuan, why sell it for 100 yuan?
Fang and the others couldn’t comprehend it at all.
Finally, San slapped his thigh and said, “Since the boss said so, we’ll just follow suit, raise the price, one Stabilizing Pill for 100 yuan.”
The price at a hundred retail stores simultaneously rose to 100 yuan.
Although it rose to one hundred yuan, San’s heart was restless, worried that at such a high price, today would be like yesterday with absolutely no one coming to buy.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xinyao came to the retail store again.
Although she eloquently deceived Li Zhe yesterday, she wasn’t confident.
Now the Gangzhe Group had no strength to wage a price war, and she was afraid Wang Yan would still lower the price to sell the Stabilizing Pill today.
But when she saw the price of Stabilizing Pill raised to 100 yuan, Zhao Xinyao suddenly became excited.
“Hahaha, Wang Yan and his people really couldn’t hold on anymore.
As long as our price is lower, he’ll never outsell us.”
Zhao Xinyao was extremely excited inside, and she immediately reported this news to Li Zhe.
Upon hearing this news, Li Zhe began to dream of becoming wealthy again.
With a price of 38 yuan per pill, it wouldn’t take long for him to earn back the 250 million he lost.
San and Zhao Xinyao, both in adjacent stores, nervously peered outside, both eager to know the results of today.
Finally, the first customer walked by, evidently looking to buy a tonic.
He stood at the entrance of both stores, glanced at one and then the other, clearly considering which one to buy.
San and Zhao Xinyao became tense, the first decision would indicate the future business of both.
Under the intense gaze of the two, they saw the customer head straight into San’s store.
San almost leapt for joy, he and Li, Fang enthusiastically surrounded this first customer, nearly lifting him up.
The first box was finally sold!
After this customer left, San held onto the hundred yuan almost ready to jump with joy.
They just couldn’t understand why someone would come to buy the Stabilizing Pill at nearly three times the opponent’s price.
Zhao Xinyao, on the other hand, was a bit displeased but merely considered it a rare occurrence and didn’t think much of it.
However, subsequent developments completely defied Zhao Xinyao’s expectations, and even San and the others were caught off guard.
Throughout the day, the stream of customers to San’s store continued constantly, with people continuously coming to make purchases, while Zhao Xinyao’s store remained desolate and empty.
From initial excitement, San became exhausted, like a spinning top busy all day.
During the hustle, San still couldn’t understand what drove the customers to swarm to his store.
Come dusk, San finally grabbed the last customer to inquire about the reason.
The customer replied: “Someone received free pills yesterday, but they were ineffective, proving that cheap goods aren’t good.
So this time, came specifically to buy the expensive ones.”
After the customer left, San stood there dumbfounded, unable to comprehend until minutes later when he slapped his head and shouted, “The boss is truly brilliant, this is really a calculated scheme!”
Having uncovered the reason, naturally Zhao Xinyao wasn’t foolish, she quickly figured it out.
She only sold a dozen pills throughout the day, not even enough to cover rent.
But when she realized Wang Yan’s tactics, she immediately geared up for tomorrow’s showdown.
On the third day.
Both stores opened simultaneously, revealing Zhao Xinyao’s recalculated prices.
“Qi Stabilizing Pill, 108 yuan.”
Looking at this price, Zhao Xinyao shook her head and said, “Humph, so cheap isn’t good?
Then I’ll be pricier, if you raise prices, I’ll raise them too, always remaining pricier.
Today I’ll squeeze you out.”
Seeing Zhao Xinyao raising her price too, San angrily said, “They’re really dragging this out with us, humph, if they raise the price, we’ll raise it too.”
Fang reminded, “San, doesn’t the boss have one last envelope?”
San quickly nodded, pulling out the envelope.
As he opened it, he said, “The boss must be asking us to raise the price too.”
As he spoke, San opened the envelope, pulled out the paper, and couldn’t help but smile, saying, “The boss truly has plans upon plans, I never would have thought of these strategies.”
…
After a while, San raised a new advertisement board, showing “Stabilizing Pill 100 yuan, packaging box can be discounted 99 yuan.”
This discount meant it was still one yuan per box.
That day, San’s store was as crowded as always, while Zhao Xinyao’s still had few visitors.
On the fourth day, Zhao Xinyao launched the same ad, with packaging boxes discounted by 107 yuan, likewise making it one yuan per box.
But unexpectedly for Zhao Xinyao, unlike the bustling scene at San’s store with customers exchanging old packaging, her store still had few visitors.
This made Zhao Xinyao jump in anger.
They clearly gave out millions of pills on the first day, why wasn’t anyone coming back to exchange?
In fact, how could Zhao Xinyao know, that half of those millions of pills were lying dormant in Peak Group’s warehouse?
In five days.
Peak Group’s Stabilizing Pill triumphed over Gangzhe Group’s Qi Stabilizing Pill, especially after everyone took the Stabilizing Pill, its effects were remarkable.
Especially those who did not often consume tonics, after consuming the Stabilizing Pill, their health improved significantly, unlike the Qi Stabilizing Pill which had little effect.
Thus, the reputation of the Stabilizing Pill spread by word of mouth.
In Wanghai City, almost every poor person knew the name of the Stabilizing Pill.
Later, throughout Wanghai City, wealthy High Tier individuals began trending toward consuming the Strengthening Pill, while the poor leaned towards the Stabilizing Pill.
Within Wanghai Noble School, Wang Yan attended class as the magic pattern on his back gradually gained energy, reflecting the virtue earned by curing many people’s hidden ailments with the Stabilizing Pill.
This energy increase was invisible to others, but sitting next to Wang Yan, Ma Jun could completely sense it.
Ma Jun raised an eyebrow, excitedly said, “Boss, your five strategies are working.”
Wang Yan smiled slightly, said, “Indeed, the Stabilizing Pill has undoubtedly become deeply ingrained in people’s minds.”
Ma Jun said, “That’s it, Gangzhe Group should behave now.”
Wang Yan shook his head, said, “No, with Li Zhe’s nature, since he can’t win openly, he’ll surely use underhanded tricks, and I believe he’s already plotting something shady.”
“Underhanded tricks?
So what do we do?”
Wang Yan laughed heartily, said, “If he tries underhanded tricks against me, I’m afraid he’ll regret it with tears.”
