"They'd been secretly buying a lot of our buns and pies, and they've figured them out completely. They're using the same fillings, and at a glance, their food looks almost identical. But they're selling it for dirt cheap, so a lot of people have started buying from them instead," Su Yun said glumly. "It's ridiculous. If they sold at the same price, I wouldn't be so upset. But they're obviously losing money! Who does business like that?!"
When Qin Jiao heard this, she immediately thought, 'Isn't this just the kind of predatory tactic that became common in the business world later on?'
'First, they use rock-bottom prices to drive you into a corner with no way out. Then they acquire your business for cheap. Once it's all theirs, the prices go back up, maybe even higher than before.'
'It's a classic monopoly play!'
However, as clever as their opponents were for coming up with such a method in this era, they were up against Qin Jiao!
