The second signal that Hong Yanwu had been waiting for appeared on the tenth day when the sea cucumbers became feverish again.

Due to the price storm that began before the National Day, it has experienced four stages of price reduction, price reduction, price increase, and price increase, which lasted for nearly three months, which not only affected the normal work of various units and affected the normal life of citizens, but also intensified, and has gradually broken through the geographical restrictions of Bincheng and evolved into a big bubble that has spread to the provincial capital of Liaodong Province and attracted countless Fengtian citizens to Bincheng to participate in speculation.

Therefore, the Bincheng city government and the aquatic products company can't sit still, and they don't dare to let the sea cucumber rise so endlessly. Otherwise, the prospect of the near future is that the entire three eastern provinces will have to be involved. At this time, they are all facing the first test of how to solve the spontaneous behavior of the market.

On the 19th of the month, as soon as the sky cleared, Vice President Zhou issued an order for the divers of the fishing team to go to sea immediately. After that, I made an emergency report to my superiors.

He made a detailed report on the seriousness of this incident of the whole people participating in the speculation of sea cucumbers, but he avoided the serious and trivialized the causes, and only mentioned his behavior of adjusting the price without permission. Rather, the focus is on the natural disaster side.

He asked his superiors to give strong support immediately, or to deploy some light dried sea cucumbers from Qingdao to Bincheng. Either the Bincheng Aquatic Products Corporation will temporarily hand over a part of the supply tasks to the big restaurants in Beijing, Fengtian, Chuncheng, Bingcheng, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, and Jinan to the Qingdao Fisheries Company. He said that only in this way can he put sea cucumbers on the market and try to stabilize prices.

On the same day, the Bincheng Municipal Government also issued the "Interim Regulations on Strengthening the Management of the Seafood Market", which first clarified two items.

The first is the economic aspect. It is said that sea cucumbers have been flooded with private transactions recently, and the price has fluctuated greatly. It was because of a once-in-a-century natural disaster that provided a breeding ground for capitalist ideas and speculation. As a result, a small number of people took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, resulting in outrageous prices and market chaos.

The second is the social aspect. It is said that the private speculation and sale of sea cucumbers has seriously corroded the minds of the broad masses of the people, endangered social order, and affected production and work. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages and strengthen the management of the sea cucumber market, which is the next step for the Bincheng city government to do at any cost.

The full text of this provision consists of 10 articles, including economic, administrative, and legal means.

The first is to ban all private trading venues, strictly prohibit over-the-counter transactions, and confiscate the money and property of both parties to the transaction.

The second is the redefinition of prices in fish stores. When the goods in the market are re-listed, the price of sea cucumber will return to the original price as much as possible, taking into account the cause of the disaster and the lack of goods, it can be slightly adjusted according to the specific situation, but the maximum can not exceed 45 yuan a catty.

Similarly, the purchaser of sea cucumber should be limited accordingly. Whoever wants to buy sea cucumbers can, but they must buy it at a state-run store, and they must hold a household registration book and a certificate of the unit.

Finally, it was also pointed out that the in-service employees of all units are not allowed to engage in reselling sea cucumbers, and those who find them will be dealt with seriously.

From the above points, it can be seen that the situation in Bencheng has not only evolved into a national sea cucumber fever. And the latest price limit for sea cucumber is also set at 45 yuan. This can fully show that this turmoil has subtly affected the re-recognition of the value of sea cucumbers by government officials in Bencheng to a certain extent.

As soon as the regulations were promulgated, the newspapers in Bencheng began to create public opinion, and various units also implemented the regulations of the municipal government step by step.

As for the specific management department, the task is, of course, the heaviest. For example, the industrial and commercial bureau, the price bureau, and the public security bureau have to raid and close down the small markets that are traded privately, but they also have to chase and intercept them and strictly control the private trade of sea cucumbers.

For the last one, the specific method they adopted is that once they find out who has sea cucumbers, it depends on whether you have an invoice, otherwise it will be considered a private transaction.

A specific example is a passenger from Mukden who bought five catties of sea cucumbers from Ben Thanh and was found at a checkpoint before getting on the train. Because he did not have an invoice, he was fined 50 yuan, and the sea cucumber was confiscated, not to mention, the matter was also reported to his unit.

At that time, there were a lot of things like this, and dozens of cases were dealt with in a few days.

Therefore, under this intense and stormy strict control, the trade of sea cucumbers decreased rapidly, and the rise in the price of sea cucumbers seemed to have stopped, falling from a high price of about 120 yuan to about 100 yuan within a few days.

For a while, many people thought that the price of sea cucumbers would fall, and the atmosphere in Bincheng was very mysterious, with some rumors and some wavering.

It's just that Hong Yanwu's view on this matter is very different.

Although he is sure that the feast has entered the final stage, he firmly believes that the price of sea cucumbers is only temporary, and the next upward trend will not only come again soon. And it may last a long time.

Because he looked at every speculation boom he had experienced, the more the government controlled it, the more the price rose wildly.

There is also a process of government control, from loose to strict, and only when it is completely forced to the point that there is no longer any room for it, will the government make the final blow in a completely heavy way.

In addition, there is a situation to end the bubble, that is, the follow-up speculation funds are almost exhausted, and the market will choose to end it on its own.

And in most cases, it is often the resonance of these two that can completely end a hype.

When it comes to the matter of "sea cucumber fever", there are obviously several objective facts that prove that it is far from the moment when it is finally broken.

First, the shortage of sea cucumbers is an objective existence that has no hope of changing in the short term, and it is still a state of more money and less goods, which is by no means a substantive problem that can be solved by the intervention of a few regulations.

Second, the government's current means are still limited, and the cost of governance is too high to block all private transactions.

Besides, in addition to the people involved in governance, there are also many people involved. There are more people who have hoarded a large number of sea cucumbers, and in order to save themselves, they will also change the law to dredge these managers, in order to exchange for a glimmer of life, so those who have the power in their hands will inevitably want to make another windfall.

Therefore, in the case that everyone expects the price of sea cucumber to fall, it is really difficult to say how much principle and how much strength the grassroots managers can adhere to in implementing the government's regulations.

What's more, having said that, in fact, even if Hong Yanwu was completely wrong, it was nothing.

As soon as the city government's regulations were introduced, Hong Yanwu, who was always following the government's movements from the newspapers, immediately stopped all public transactions.

He didn't want to risk eating "fish tails" at all.

Not only did they no longer let the "generals" go to small markets, but they also stopped going to guest houses to sell, and even the "pyramid schemes" of "Lao Fei" and Han Ying, Xiang Hong, and Fan Gang were stopped. The only remaining way to ship goods is to continue to exchange sea cucumbers for "Moutai" through Manager Xie.

By this time, through various means, they had successfully dispersed more than 6,000 catties of sea cucumbers, and the remaining goods in their hands were only about 1,000 catties.

In terms of overall interests and security, they have not been affected at all by the introduction of strict control and management measures.

In this kind of market, it is absolutely inevitable that there will be a lot of harvest.

If you want to say how much they have made from it, not to mention anything else, just take a look at the peripheral personnel involved in it, Manager Xie, "Lao Fei", Xiang Hong, and Fan Gang.

Like Manager Xie, the higher the price of sea cucumbers, the better he should do, don't look at the ability to spend money to buy wine through him is just a box, but having sea cucumbers is another matter. So far, he has brought more than 40 boxes of Moutai to Hong Yanwu, and he has at least 40 catties of sea cucumbers from them.

"Old Fat", with a wide range of contacts and old age, he took a small 300 catties of goods from his own way, and he took more than 1,000 yuan for the introduction fee alone. Not to mention that the 100 catties of sea cucumbers he exchanged for wood were also taken off, and 10,000 yuan was firmly in his pocket.

Xiang Hong and Fan Gang have the narrowest social circle, although they earn the least, but they each have six or seven hundred yuan in their hands.

In fact, even Han Ying should take a small 1,000 yuan, but she and the "general" were embarrassed to ask for it, and Hong Yanwu was too busy to persuade the two of them, so the money was temporarily stored in the public account for her.

It should be said that in the past ten days, it is enough for everyone involved to experience the most real taste of sudden and wealthy.

From this, we can know what kind of astonishing extent the collective income of the real cargo owners of the "sea bumpers" can be.

In fact, so far, in addition to the inventory in hand, plates, and Moutai, the total cash profit is more than 586,500 yuan.

Of course, in this money, about 140,000 yuan is the personal profit of the "sea cucumbers", and 36,000 yuan is the 400 catties of sea cucumbers sold by Hong Yanwu for Yang Weifan.

But this is enough to breathtaking, remove these, that's a full 400,000!

What is the concept of this money in this day and age?

In terms of specific senses, the four hundred stacks of "Great Unity" stacked together are four meters long and weigh eighty-eight pounds.

According to the records of "Bincheng Local Chronicles", the administrative expenses of Bincheng in a year in any urban area never exceeded 200,000 yuan.

"Seafood Restaurant", the most prestigious high-end restaurant in Bincheng, has a profit of only 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a year handed over to the state.

At the best of the year, the village with the largest grain production near Bincheng has an annual output of 600,000 catties of grain, and the output value of agricultural and sideline industries is only 80,000 yuan.

So a simple comparison can show what a huge fortune this is, and how shocking it is for ordinary people!

Indeed, money is a good thing that allows people to live a good life and buy what they want. Whoever wants to suddenly make a windfall, the most normal reaction is probably ecstatic.

But often people can't see the other side of things, and when the sudden decline in wealth exceeds a certain limit, it will definitely make people feel great psychological pressure.

On the afternoon of November 20, the "general" and Han Ying in the study room of the villa on "Wanghai Street" sat on the sofa together, looking at the more than 17,000 yuan on the desk, and couldn't help but feel distracted.

They all looked a little stiff.

There is no way, after taking stock of the general ledger today, the payment from all parties is collected.

There was no room left in the locked safe, it was all stuffed with money, and the money on the table could not be placed.

It's unimaginable. But Hong Yanwu was in a hurry to send money to Yang Weifan, and he didn't say what to do with the money on the table, so he left in a hurry.

"General" couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Money, too much! It's too much......"

Han Ying was also sighing.

"I didn't expect it, it's scary......"

After a while, the "general" finally came to his senses, lit a cigarette, and discussed with Han Ying.

"With all this money that can't be put down, I'm afraid we'll have to find another proper place. On the bright side, this is what it is! Where do you think we should hide it? Kitchen or toilet? Or in the bookshelf?"

Han Ying's face turned a little pale, and she shirked as if frightened.

"I ...... I think tomorrow you should let Xiao Wu take it, it's troublesome to put it anywhere. What if it gets wet and burns on fire? If we really lose it, we can't explain it...... Why don't you discuss with him, and it's better to get some of the money in the safe, and if not, send it to everyone......"

Of course, the "general" knew why Han Ying was worried, and hurriedly comforted her.

"Hey, don't be so afraid, no matter how afraid you are, you can't hide from it, after all, we have a share of this money! Seriously, Xiao Wu said that one day, we ordinary people can spend money to buy such a house, I don't believe it at all. But now you see, isn't that much money in your hands? It's like a dream. Maybe the house thing is really a little bit possible. If only it were as he said, I would definitely buy your original house back......"

Unexpectedly, these deliberate words to describe in a beautiful direction had the opposite effect, making Han Ying's face even more worried.

"No, no...... I'm satisfied that we're together. I don't want a small western-style building, people's desires are endless......! Actually, I'm a little scared right now. When I thought of the amount of money in this house, and a thousand catties of sea cucumbers, I ...... I ......"

Speaking of this, Han Ying suddenly covered her mouth uncontrollably and ran out of the house eagerly, and soon after, the sound of vomiting came from the toilet.

The "general" was stunned, he realized that some of Han Ying's experiences made her yearn for a stable life even more, she had no ambition and possessiveness like a man, and had completely become a good wife and mother-type woman.

At this time, he remembered Han Ying's physical condition in the past few days, she had been eating tastelessly, and she couldn't even sleep well. It can be seen how much mental pressure the amount of money has caused her.

He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and quickly followed up to the toilet.

"Wife, are you alright......?"

In the toilet, Han Ying stopped vomiting for a long time. She poured herself another glass of water and began to rinse her mouth, before wiping the corners of her mouth and saying, "I'm fine, maybe I was too excited just now......"

The "general" stroked Han Ying's back and patiently explained.

"Han Ying, I really can't bear to see you so worried. Yes, the money is too much, and to be honest, I have a bit of a drum in my heart. But you know, Xiao Wu has never missed it, never had! Although I can't figure out some things, he understands better than anyone else, and I truly believe in him. Besides, it's not my business alone, there are other brothers, everyone depends on him to live a good life. Also, our difficulties, he is all worried about for us......"

Han Ying's hand caressed the mouth of the "general", a little helpless.

"Don't say it, I understand. Xiao Wu is a good person, and it is all because of him that we are where we are now. You believe in him, I believe in him, and I am more grateful to him than you do. But it's in my heart...... Besides, I'm afraid of the future......"

"Don't be afraid, you don't have to go to the market anymore, the adventure is over. We can't spend all our money in our lives! The good days have just begun! As long as we don't make a big deal, who will find us? In the future, I won't go to 'touch the sea', I will live a good life with you, so that you and my mother will always worry about my accidents......

Han Ying sighed softly and finally stopped talking. He only put his face sideways on the shoulders of the "general".

He continued to caress her neck and tell her about the bright future ahead.

Tell the story of them having a child and the whole family getting together in harmony. said that he waited for two years, how could he buy a TV, so that the whole family could see the world.

He also said that Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and Yang Weifan had invited him to play in the capital. Of course, he will take his wife and children with him to climb the Great Wall and eat roast duck......

Unexpectedly, it was the word "roast duck", and suddenly, Han Ying became uncontrollable and nauseous again, and leaned over the toilet and vomited......
