Quick Pass: Start a grocery store

Chapter 474. 474. Ocean: Taking Advantage
Although it was unbelievable, Xiaoyou didn't doubt Ah Shan's words. After all, the water in her hand was real, and Ah Shan didn't need to lie to herself.

She was just a little surprised why the iron cock-like nobles suddenly showed mercy and lowered the price of fresh water.

Did they suddenly show kindness?

No matter how you think about it, this idea is really impossible.

"Hey, isn't this Ah Shan and Xiao You? What are you doing standing here?" Not far away, Bai Mu greeted and walked towards them.

Because his home was right next to Xiaoyou's, it was an expected coincidence that he happened to run into the two of them when he came home.

"Brother Bai, did you just come back from the beach?" Ah Shan smiled, and then continued, "I just went to the market to buy water, and I found out that one of them had reduced the price..."

During this period of time, Bai Mu went to the grocery store to buy a lot of things at one time last time, so he hadn't been to the market for a few days, and he was either fishing or drying nets every day.

Blow the sea breeze in your spare time, eat canned food, and go home and take a fragrant bath with soap and water when you are tired... Life is simply beautiful.

However, although he didn't go to the market much, he was still well informed.

So he knows the existence of the water purifier.

"Do you still remember the grocery store you took me to?" Bai Mu asked suddenly.

Although she didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, Ah Shan still nodded.

Bai Mu patiently explained his thoughts to them, "That store is selling water purifiers recently, and many nobles have bought them back... It's not surprising that the price will be lowered, after all, so many people have started selling fresh water."

"Wouldn't it be possible to lower the price?" Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said this.

Bai Mu looked at her and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Xiaoyou recalled that incident more than ten years ago...

"I remember that at that time, many nobles were competing for the market for fishing nets. I heard from my father that the price of fishing nets at that time was as low as three pearls each... It took a while before it became like this."

The fishing nets at that time were the most common and unusable fishing nets, and they often broke before they had been used twice, so it was not worth buying even at the current price.

Later, an aristocrat considered winning by quality. Although the price was higher than many fishing nets, the quality was excellent, and one was worth dozens of poor quality ones.

Everyone is not a fool. After doing the math, they found that although this kind of high-quality fishing net is more expensive, it is durable and the cost is reduced. Therefore, they all use this kind of high-quality fishing net.

With the appearance of these high-quality fishing nets, those low-quality fishing nets gradually withdrew from the market.

"Isn't it the same now as before? There are so many nobles competing in the market, but now they are competing in the fresh water market." Fresh water has no quality or quality, so if they want to compete for the market, they can only win by price.

According to this principle, 1 pearl = 3 liters of fresh water is just the beginning.

"Ah...then I've lost money?" Ah Shan pursed her lips, and her small face was wrinkled.

Xiaoyou chuckled, and comforted: "How can this be considered a loss? It is unknown whether they will not lower the price in the future, but you have run out of fresh water now, so it is impossible for you not to drink water for unknown things, right?"

What's more, it doesn't mean that if you buy fresh water this time, you can't buy it next time. As long as you have good storage conditions, you can buy as much as you want.

"It seems to be too..." Even so, Ah Shan sighed.

Hearing what the two of them said, Bai Mu felt a little interesting. After returning home and putting away his things, he took some pearls to the market to see the excitement.

As Ah Shan said, he did see a shop that sells water at a reduced price...but he couldn't see the door of the shop anymore, because the door of the shop was already flooded by a sea of ​​people.

The price reduction for an extra liter of water is undoubtedly very attractive. No wonder there are so many people scrambling to gather around the door of the store just to buy fresh water.

This is a scene that has never been seen before.

Bai Mu stood not far away and watched for a while, and when he was about to leave, he happened to find a person walking out of this Danshui shop.

"Don't squeeze those in the back, today's fresh water has been sold out! Buy what you need tomorrow!" This person is a staff member of the fresh water store. He shouted loudly. Although his voice did not cover up the noisy crowd outside, the words But it was still heard by everyone outside.

The crowd is agitated—

Those who bought fresh water thought they had taken advantage of it, so their faces were beaming.

But those who didn't buy it were more dissatisfied and complained besides regret.

Because not everyone, like Ah Shan, only buys what they need. More people buy a lot of fresh water at one time, and one person buys a dozen or twenty liters.

They think this is the reason why they failed to take advantage of it, because others took the first step and took advantage of it.

"Why do you buy so much water by yourself? If you are so greedy, others will not be able to buy it."

"That's right, if you buy so much at once, you won't be afraid to drink to death, and you don't see how many people are still waiting to buy water!"

"Hey, you don't care how much I buy! If you didn't grab it yourself, you blame others for buying more. If you are so short of water, go to another place to buy it? This is not the only place on the whole island to sell water."

"To put it bluntly, I'm not happy if I can't buy cheap fresh water. How many people who come here to buy water are short of water? If there is a shortage of water, there is still time to complain here. Why don't you go to other stores to buy water? ? I’m not afraid of drinking to death, but I’m afraid that some people will die of thirst.”

……

Just because of these few words, a group of people started to make a fuss...but no one cares about it.

The freshwater store closed when it was sold out, so they didn't bother to get involved in the disputes of these people, at most they stood by and watched the show like Bai Mu.

Bai Mu twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.

It's just a liter of water... As for what?

What's more...

Bai Mu recalled what Xiaoyou said, and there was a hint of interest in watching a good show in his eyes.

Don't look at some people who are sour on those who bought cheap fresh water, and their tone of voice is not pleasant...

But once they find out that fresh water will only get cheaper and cheaper in a few days, then they will definitely stop talking sourly, and maybe they will mock those people for being greedy for buying more.

Did you lose money?
Live it!

And these people who think they are smart and bought a lot of fresh water at once will regret it when they find out that the price of fresh water will continue to drop.

Especially Shiraki also found an interesting thing.

Some people who deliberately bought too much water did not go home with a lot of water, and set up a stall directly on the spot.

1 pearl = 2.5 liters of fresh water!
Although it is a bit immoral to buy water from someone's store on the front foot and set up a stall directly at the door of the other person's door, but there are still many people who do this.
