Jiang Yiyou opened a breakfast shop, specializing in selling the noodle soup that the locals like. That night, when Jiang Yiyou was about to close the stall, a tall and thin man walked in and whispered, "Tomorrow, the whole city will raise the price of breakfast by two yuan. Don't forget to raise the price together."

In the past two years, the price had gone up several times earlier, and almost every time the price went up, someone would come and notify everyone to go up together. Although the price increase was a good thing, Jiang Yiyou was still stunned for a while, and stared at the tall and thin man for a while, asking, "Why should I listen to you, what do you do?"

The tall and thin man smiled slightly and said, "My name is Chen Zheng, just like you, I am also a breakfast driver. Now everything is increasing in price, and we can't do it if we don't increase it. But if only one person increases the price, the effect is not good, and it will cause trouble, so everyone acts together to increase the price uniformly, and no matter what the breakfast is, it will increase by two yuan."

Jiang Yiyou nodded and said, "This is very right. I didn't say that I would definitely go up with you. Now a bowl of risotto noodles sells for three yuan, and tomorrow it will sell for five yuan.

Chen Zheng gave a thumbs up, said yes again and again, then turned and walked away. Looking at Chen Zheng's background, Jiang Yiyou smiled thoughtfully, then hummed a song and went home.

The next morning, Jiang Yiyou opened the door and hung up the price sign, which still read: Risotto noodles are three yuan a bowl. Soon, customers came in, most of them regular customers, and they didn't even ask for the money to buy noodles. Jiang Yiyou hurriedly delivered noodles to the customers, and was very busy.

When Jiang Yiyou was busy, someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he looked at Lao Gaotou, who was also a regular customer and came to eat risotto noodles every day. Lao Gaotou lowered his throat and praised, "You are interesting enough, the whole city has raised prices earlier, if you don't raise prices, you will not forget your roots in serving the people."

Jiang Yiyou smiled and said loudly, "It's someone else's business for others to raise prices. I just don't raise prices, insist on small profits but quick turnover, and hope that returning customers will take care of me."

Old Gao Tou was startled and said, "What do you mean, kid, you don't increase the price of others, and you still shout loudly, are you afraid that others won't know!"

Jiang Yi looked careless and said, "What's the matter? I just let people know that if others raise the price, I will not raise the price."

Old Gao Tou seemed to understand, and he also raised his voice and said, "Yes, yes, yes, some people now have money blackened their conscience, and the price has gone up several times at every turn. In the past, it was only a few corners and a few corners. This time, it's better. The price increase of two dollars at a time is almost catching up with the rocket. Master Xiaojiang is still a good person, serving the people will not deteriorate, and such an early store can't be wrong."

Following the words of the old man, several diners also praised: "Yes, yes, yes, it's really good, everyone else has raised their prices, but you don't. You are really a good person."

In this way, the applause came one after another, and Happy Jiang's face seemed to be blooming. The old man said without opening the pot, "Don't you kid, you can't hold on for a few days, and the price will also increase?"

Jiang Yiyou patted his chest and said, "Unless the price rises too much, I will never raise the price. I insist on affordable supply, so that you can eat cheap and high-quality risotto noodles."

Jiang Yiyou's words drew a round of applause. In the evening, Jiang Yiyou took stock, and he was immediately overjoyed. He sold nearly a thousand dollars more than usual, and more importantly, he won a reputation and attracted more customers. When Jiang Yiyou was happy, Chen Zheng suddenly stood in front of him and asked with a dark face, "What do you mean, everyone is raising the price, why don't you increase it? It's you Lei Feng, you are serving the people, and everyone else serving the RMB?"

Jiang Yiyou hurriedly accompanied his smiling face and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it. A few days ago, someone told me to increase the price, but the result was not increased, which caused me to pay a lot, and the regular customers scolded me. I'm afraid you lied to me."

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't mention the past. What will happen tomorrow? Will you go up or not?"

Jiang Yiyou hurriedly said, "If it goes up, it will definitely go up. If everyone else goes up, I won't go up. I'm stupid. Seeing that the money doesn't go up, why don't I go up?"

Chen Zheng smiled and persuaded, "In fact, it's your business whether you want to increase or not. If you don't want to earn more money, others can't control it. But this time, it's different. The whole city has raised prices uniformly, and the increase is a bit large. Even if the price bureau comes to check, it can't blame the public. However, if your family does not increase prices, it may let the price bureau to find problems."

Jiang Yiyou took Chen Zheng's hand and said, "You are right. I will definitely raise the price tomorrow, and I will definitely follow everyone's strategic plan to increase the price."

Chen Zheng clenched Jiang Yiyou's hand tightly and said, "Okay, okay, okay, this calls for everyone's hearts to move to Mount Tai. As long as everyone raises prices, I won't be afraid when the Emperor comes."

When he opened the store the next day, the price tag was still the same, and the price didn't go up at all. Lao Gao was the first to walk into the store, and when he saw the price tag, he clapped his hands happily: "Xiaojiang, Xiaojiang, you are really a live Lei Feng, good people and good deeds are really done well, and you don't go up if the price goes up in the whole city. You are so funny. I can't write, otherwise I will definitely write a praise manuscript and let CCTV publicize and praise you to the whole country and the whole universe."

Jiang Yi was busy serving a bowl of risotto noodles to Lao Gaotou, then brought it to him and said modestly, "I always pay attention to small profits but quick turnover, and pay attention to popularity to take care of old customers. I won't do it even if I kill you."

Old Gao Tou took the noodle bowl, looked down, and then smiled coldly at Jiang Yiyou. He didn't say a word when he ate the noodles, and walked out of the store with a dark face after eating the noodles. At this time, more customers flocked to the store, and Jiang Yiyou was even busier. For a few days in a row, Jiang Yiyou was like this, and the price did not increase, and the business was surprisingly good. Although people nowadays are not short of money in their pockets, they are particularly disgusted with price increases, and they feel uncomfortable paying more money than anything else. Knowing that he does not increase prices here, everyone would rather run away and have breakfast here.

One night a few days later, Chen Zheng brought a few people to Jiang Yiyou's shop and said straight to the point, "What do you mean, do you have to let everyone teach you a lesson?"

Jiang Yiyou accompanied him with a smiling face and said, "No, I feel that it's okay to sell at this price now, and I can make money. I don't want to increase the price, why don't you wait."

Chen Zheng was so angry that the muscles on his face trembled, and he said fiercely, "You are making everyone your enemy, committing public anger, and doing it to the place where everyone's face was torn."

Jiang Yiyou was stunned for a moment, and replied: "This is too unpleasant to hear, isn't it that serious? Everyone is in business, whether to increase prices or not, how to do business is everyone's business, why do I have to listen to you?"

The man who came with Chen Zheng shouted angrily: "This guy seems cheap and needs to be repaired."

Jiang Yiyou knew that he was not an opponent, so he hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will do as you say, increase the price, that's all right."

With a livid face, Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "The truth has been told to you again and again, but you have been going your own way and going your own way, and you are too ignorant. This price increase has attracted the attention of the relevant departments due to the strong reaction of the citizens and serious resistance. Therefore, everyone must unite and raise the price together, so as to silence others and make the relevant departments unable to do anything. However, if you don't cooperate and go alone, you are doing something that offends public anger. Tomorrow, if you don't raise the price, I 'm afraid that the brothers will not just talk about it. Today is our ultimatum to you, you can consider it."

After saying that, Chen Zheng left with a few people angrily, and Jiang Yiyou was also pushed to the Jedi, in a dilemma. The next morning, when Jiang Yiyou opened the door, he sighed and sighed about whether to increase the price. At this time, the old tall man quietly walked behind him and said seriously, "Do you know that all the stalls have returned to the level before the price increase today."

Jiang Yiyou widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Really?"

Old Gao Tou smiled faintly and said, "I can still lie to you. This time, the people who sell breakfast colluded to raise prices collectively and are suspected of manipulating market prices, which is an illegal act. The leader named Chen Zheng was punished by the relevant departments."

Jiang Yiyou smiled and said, "I just said, these people are too outrageous, and the price increase has no edge. They force people to increase the price, otherwise they will find trouble. Hey, old high head, how did you know that?"

The old man was startled and said blankly, "I also heard from others. Anyway, this matter is absolutely not fake. Someone reported it."

Jiang Yiyou asked: "What to report?"

Old Gao Tou blurted out: "I just reported the things that forced you to increase the price last night. There is a recording, so I can't run away."

Jiang Yiyou stared at Old Gao Tou again and again, and seemed to understand something. Jiang Yiyou no longer had any doubts, and hurriedly put up the price sign, which was still the old price. At this time, Old Gao Tou ordered a bowl of risotto noodles and ate it with a wooden face.

After eating the noodles, Lao Gaotou took out three yuan and put it in front of Jiang Yiyou. Jiang Yiyou smiled and refused, saying, "No need, count me as your guest, thank you for helping me."

Old Gao Tou said expressionlessly, "It is natural to pay for noodles. However, your noodle bowl is mine -"

As he spoke, the old tall head lifted the noodle bowl high and threw it hard to the ground. With a crisp sound of "horn", the noodle bowl suddenly fell into eight petals. Jiang Yiyou stared at the old tall head in astonishment and asked anxiously, "What do you mean by this?"

Old Gao Tou smiled coldly and said seriously, "I eat noodles here every day, and I have already eaten your bowl. You think I didn't see it. On the surface, you didn't increase the price, but you'pulled strips' for each bowl of noodles and reduced the portion. In fact, you are also increasing the price. However, you are more ingenious and hateful than Chen Zheng and the others. I can report the blatant collusion in price increases like Chen Zheng, but everyone can't do anything about price increases like yours. However, don't forget that everyone has a scale in their heart. Those who always calculate others will eventually be exposed, and the business will be doomed by then."

Jiang Yi had beads of sweat flowing down his forehead, unable to say a word, and the words of the old man hit his dead end. It turned out that Jiang Yi deliberately cooperated with Chen Zheng and the others to raise prices, but made a fuss about the weight, which not only lost the reputation of not increasing prices, but also attracted more customers, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Lao Gaotou stood up and said, "To do business and make money, you have to be conscientious. Earn money sooner or later ."

After Lao Gaotou left, a tape was left on the table, and Jiang Yiyou put it in the VCR to take a look. It was the conversation when Chen Zheng negotiated with him last night. Jiang Yiyou was shocked, and it turned out that he was just guessing that Lao Gaotou reported colluding in price increases, but now it seems true. This old Gaotou is really keen-eyed. At this time, another customer came in, and Jiang Yiyou didn't even hesitate, so he grabbed a handful of noodles and put them in the pot, and the amount was more than ever.
