Chapter 138: The high-level of Pingchuan County who are helpless
"Hang, open for seventy-two hours in a row. This is for our supermarket on the towel. A member of the dam. It's a difficult challenge." Sun Zhaolun nodded helplessly, "But in this way, it can also alleviate the worries of those people outside the supermarket, they weishenme are sweeping like this", I admit, this word is not appropriate here, but to be honest, I can't think of a more appropriate Ran language to describe their behavior now. ”
Fang Bin nodded understandingly, after two days of high-intensity work, it was himself, and now his mind was as chaotic as paste. "I understand, you continue."
"They're actually worried that we don't have enough money, and they won't be able to buy things even if they have money! Now that the county center shopping mall and supply and marketing cooperatives have closed, their warehouses are said to be empty. Even the backlog of supplies that had accumulated over the years has been swept away. The little shops in the county. I'm afraid it's no different from them. In the short term, I'm afraid we are the only ones here who continue to sell goods. They're worried we're going to close our doors at any moment! That's why they are desperately rushing to buy goods like wolves, exchanging the banknotes in their hands that may depreciate at any time for real items. Only in this way can they be reassured. Sun Zhaolun sighed lightly and said, "Actually, I originally went to Fang Shao's suggestion to appropriately increase the price of commodities to control the flow of people, but Fang Shao did not hesitate to reject my suggestion. Instead, it was proposed to be open for 72 consecutive hours. In order to stabilize the people's hearts. ”
Fang Bin couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Sun Zhaolun's eyes turned to the door, the employees in the supermarket were busy replenishing the already empty supermarket, and the cashiers who were already tired and weak also joined the ranks. A sense of admiration rose in Sun Zhaolun's hands, such a high-intensity work, these recruited employees, but no one shouted that they were tired. No one came to him to ask for overtime pay or work allowance, these people. Just silently do your best to keep the supermarket running normally. What a group of employees this is!
And for what Fang Mingyuan and the Fang family did. Although Sun Zhaolun does not agree with their attitude of refusing to raise prices, he has to admit that this has a huge effect on stabilizing the current social order in Pingchuan County. It is because of the constant supply of goods in supermarkets. and stable prices, so that these have been some", Sun Zhaolun really doesn't know what words to use to describe the current mental state of the residents of these Ping" counties, and they can still maintain the basic business order.
The leaders of the county party committee and county government are holding a joint meeting at this time to recruit personnel from all relevant departments in the county.
Guo Tianfang and Li Dongxing sat at the two ends of the table with tired expressions, and on both sides of the table were members of the county party committee and the other side of the county government. Everyone had solemn faces, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room was extremely depressing. In just two days, according to incomplete statistics, Pingchuan County is each. The amount of bank deposits has dropped by tens of millions of yuan, and if we are to calculate according to the number of residents in the county, whether men, women, old or young. On average, it is as high as nearly 100 yuan per person, which means that a family of three: a family of one may have spent all the savings they had worked hard to save for two to three years in just two or three days.
The county's central shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives are now completely empty-handed, and there are no more goods. And the procurement personnel they send to various places. The news that came back was all to inform that the factories in various places were already full of people who went to purchase, and they could not pick up the goods at all.
Even if they raise the purchase price, the factory, which is already working in three shifts to produce at full capacity, is now more than willing to do it. It can be said that in a short period of time, it is simply impossible to bring back a large number of supplies
Li Dongxing turned his gaze to Guo Tian, the representative of the Pingchuan garrison who was sitting on the side, and asked in a deep voice: "Comrade Guo Tian, has the head of the military region responded to the fact that our county might use a munitions warehouse to quell the rush to buy?"
"The military region has issued an order that as long as the county needs it, our military warehouse will immediately start supplying the county's shopping malls to ensure that the needs of the county's residents are met, and Guo Tian, the representative of the Pingchuan garrison, is categorical.
"That's great, with your military's assurance, we can breathe a sigh of relief here. County Magistrate Lee. You see when to get munitions on the market. In order to quell the panic buying of the people. I believe that as long as there is a sufficient supply of goods," the deputy county magistrate in charge of commerce in the county government is very happy.
"You can't use munitions now, absolutely not yet! Once the munitions are used, wouldn't it be more clear to tell the residents of those counties that there is a problem with our material supply? That would only cause more panic! If you have no choice, if you have no way out, you must not use military supplies! Li Dongxing glared at his deputy angrily, he actually had to remind him of such a simple truth!
"Secretary Guo, I think the crux of the problem now is not what is wrong with our material supply system, but because people are depreciating because of inflation, that is, the money in their hands. The panic that was caused! If this panic is not effectively channeled, or if it is not allowed to vent completely, it will be difficult to quell. According to the information I have gotten, whether it is Fengyuan, Weinan, or Huangchuan, there have been merchants who have raised prices by taking advantage of the trend, and the intensity of the price increase has not increased from 20 to 40 percent, or even 80 to 100 percent! And the result of this has undoubtedly intensified the panic of the people, making this rush to buy more and more intense! In this way, a vicious circle is formed. Li Dongxing said in a deep voice. As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and the more the goods in the hands of this merchant are not sold, they will naturally think of raising prices, and the price increase undoubtedly confirms that the people's fears are correct, so that more and more people will participate in the rush to buy. People have a herd mentality, and if this continues, it will only completely paralyze the business system in our county. Society is in turmoil! So we must take immediate steps to reassure the people and calm their fears! Li Dongxing said to Guo Tian. But to keep it a secret, this is easier said than done. But how to do it, I don't have a perfect jihua yet
Guo Tianfang nodded, although he didn't know much about the economy, he also understood that the current situation in Pingchuan County was obviously abnormal. If we allow it to develop in this way, the stable social order will inevitably be disrupted. The social turmoil it caused was something that he, the secretary of the county party committee, could not bear!
