Chapter 155: Appreciation

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's trip to Huacheng can be described as fruitful.

Not only did they do what they needed to do and return on time, but they also brought a lot of gifts to their relatives and friends.

This makes everyone happy inside and out, up and down.

Of course, the people who are most ecstatic are those who rely on them for food.

As soon as they knew that these two masters had returned to the capital on time, everyone's hearts immediately had a bottom, and the heart that had been hanging was finally let go.

I don't know how many people are secretly rejoicing, "It's okay, it's okay, there was no accident this time!"

…… No, not exactly.

Because the accident did happen, but although it is a bad thing for most people, it is beneficial to Hong Yanwu personally.

On the day that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan returned to Beijing by plane from Huacheng, the Republic released a bombshell news that affected thousands of households across the country.

The upper echelons of the state decided to reduce the price of polyester and cotton cloth from now on, and at the same time increase the price of tobacco and alcohol.

The circular said that in recent years, the prices of flue-cured tobacco and liquor raw materials have been raised many times, the production costs of tobacco and liquor have increased, and the purchase prices have increased, resulting in a decline in factory profits and a decrease in state fiscal revenue.

At the same time, due to the growth of social purchasing power, the supply of high-end cigarettes and alcohol in the country has exceeded demand for a long time.

For this reason, appropriately raising the sales price of tobacco and liquor will not only help promote production and supply the needs of the masses, but also increase fiscal revenue, return money, and overcome financial and economic difficulties.

According to the national calculation, the average retail price of Grade A cigarettes will be increased by 0.27 yuan per box, the average price of Grade B cigarettes will be increased by 0.08 yuan per box, the average price of Grade C cigarettes will be increased by 0.02 yuan per box, and the average price of Grade D and Grade E cigarettes will not be raised.

The price of national brand-name liquor has increased by more than 2.00 yuan per catty, the price of bulk grain liquor has increased by 0.10 yuan to 0.20 yuan per catty, the price of bulk beer standard products has increased by about 0.16 yuan per kilogram, and the price of bulk rice wine has also been appropriately raised.

The circular also stresses that this price adjustment is a major event in the people's livelihood, and governments at all levels should strengthen leadership and price management in order to maintain the basic stability of market prices.

Needless to say, in this era when China's economic situation has just begun to show some vitality, in an era when most of the income of the residents of the capital is still mainly used to improve and increase daily consumption, and there is no surplus money for financial accumulation.

Tobacco and alcohol are probably the most common and inseparable enjoyments of male members of every family.

So the price increase of tobacco and alcohol is so high, all of a sudden, that the people's wallets that have just been slightly generous due to the restoration of the bonus system are tense again, and it will inevitably cause people's psychological discomfort.

Therefore, there is a lot of discontent among the people. When the departments concerned conducted a thorough investigation, the intellectuals indignantly asked, "Who exactly is the person who proposed the price increase to the central authorities?"

However, the majority suffers, and the few benefit. This matter is implemented on Hong Yanwu, but it is equivalent to a windfall from the sky.

Don't forget, in the two weeks that he and Chen Liquan left, the external sales of tobacco and alcohol in their hands stopped, but the internal procurement did not stop at all.

Even because "Little Baizi" said that the original three-bedroom apartment of the Song family had no place to put tobacco and alcohol, Hong Yanwu also gave "Little Baizi" a key to the new house of the Song family.

This is good, when he comes back, he finds that "Xiao Baizi" and "Dayong" are really not idle. In the past two weeks, I have spent almost all the money in my hand. The good cigarettes and good wine that had been gathered during this time filled a room in a three-bedroom house.

This whole thing is crooked, and it appreciates on the ground.

Not to mention, starting from December 18, the ex-factory price of Moutai has been adjusted from the past six yuan four yuan to eight yuan four yuan, and the official retail price of the market has also soared from eight yuan to eighteen yuan!

Then in just the past few days, the twenty-eight boxes of Moutai that have been newly eaten have already had an appreciation floating profit of 5,000 yuan (counting discounts), not to mention others.

What if we add in the original inventory of more than 2,000 boxes of famous liquor and nearly 1,000 boxes of famous cigarettes?

It is conceivable how lucrative Hong Yanwu has made overall profits.

He made a rough estimate that all the tobacco and alcohol inventory in his hand should be worth more than one million now.

And most importantly, he also knows that this price increase in tobacco and alcohol is just the beginning.

Although the official price will still be artificially controlled to a certain extent for a long time, the high-end tobacco and alcohol have since started a slow but steady upward trend.

Even if the output of these tobacco and alcohol manufacturers is increasing day by day, it has not been able to make the price drop significantly.

Therefore, the benefits behind this are an exciting treasure trove.

Because of this, although at the same time polyester cotton fell two cents per foot. Polyester cards and strips of velvet have also dropped from seven yuan five per meter in the past to five yuan five.

This may bring thousands of yuan in cost loss to the clothing night market.

But this side effect is basically negligible.

So after Hong Yanwu came back, he put his own business in place, and the first thing he did was to reward the "transportation group".

"Xiao Baizi" and "Dayong" were rewarded with 1,000 yuan each, two bottles of Moutai and two Chinese cigarettes.

More than a dozen people working underneath had 200 yuan in cash each, two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao, and two peony cigarettes.

For a time, there was a thunderous roar of joy.

This kind of good luck in the middle of the group made the entire "transport group" under the same banner, and the other groups of brothers were very envious.

Especially the business owners in the hotel, knowing that the money taken by others was caused by their own inaction, so it was even more unpleasant.

But fortunately, their business can be opened again, and it is a good time to walk around and give gifts at the end of the year.

As soon as the price of tobacco and alcohol rises, their income will naturally rise with it.

At the end of the day, that's a good thing.

Of course, don't look at the "transport team" at the end of the year, it seems that it has become the lucky one to enjoy the beauty of pie in the sky.

But in fact, the real biggest lucky ones are not them, but the people in the clothing night market.

On December 22, when Hong Yanwu's first batch of Hong Kong-style clothing was listed, it became an instant hit.

First of all, it is best to sell the fur collar at the lowest cost.

Although three hemp bags were lost in the process of freight, the cost of the commission to "Dabao" and them was only four cents.

Hong Yanwu wholesaled to everyone for one dollar, and each stall was evenly distributed with 400 pieces.

Just this thing, the benefits are needless to say, and there are no similar products in the capital, so there are really people who want to buy two or five yuan.

Whoever wants to sell two pieces, that is the price of conscience, and it can immediately lead to crazy robbing.

As a result, 70 percent of the sales were sold by the end of the month. The rest of the goods are just some black-hearted boys who see the limelight and raise their prices vigorously, and they don't sell them for three yuan, so they press the goods.

On this deal, Hong Yanwu earned 134,000 effortlessly. and the share of the profits of the people under them shall be at least four hundred pieces each.

That's so sweet.
