Chapter 894: Prices Soar!

"Let's go, husband, get up quickly!" At half past five in the morning, Feng Li began to call the old cow Zhenjie on time. The two of them have to wake up at this time every morning and go for an hour walk in the park together.

For busy office workers, there is not much time for exercise, and this time in the morning is very valuable. Today's office workers are heavy computer users, and they have a series of "computer diseases", let alone if they don't strengthen exercise.

If it was in the past, Niu Zhenjie would have gotten up a long time ago without his wife's call, but last night he had a family gathering with a few friends to celebrate, drank a few more glasses, and slept a little late, so Niu Zhenjie didn't get up on time today.

In fact, since noon yesterday, the carnival of office workers in Zhongxian County has not stopped, and it has lasted until the early hours of the morning, and many people are still releasing their excitement to the fullest. There are many situations like Niu Zhenjie, there is no way, everyone is so happy. Suddenly from a tight "moonlight clan" to a person with a monthly income of more than 10,000 dollars and leisure (although only half a day's leisure), it is inevitable that he will be overexcited.

"Wife, let me sleep a little longer, just sleep for a while." Niu Zhenjie said in a daze.

"Oops, what a sleep! Husband, let me tell you, life must be regular, now we make a lot of money, and we must take good care of our bodies, so that we can better enjoy life! Feng Li said, and couldn't help but lift her husband's quilt and pull her husband out of bed.

Although ∧ Niu Zhenjie was a little reluctant, he hurriedly washed up, followed his wife out of the house, and started walking.

Along the way, I met many acquaintances, and everyone greeted each other with a smile, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Sneaking back from the park, the two people habitually came to the breakfast stall at the entrance of the community. I want to buy a few buns to go back for breakfast. The time in the morning is too short to do it, so buying a little ready-made and going back to eat is the choice of many office workers like them.

"Boss, here are ten buns." Feng Li said as she took out ten yuan and handed it over. The meat buns at the entrance of the community cost a dollar. The taste is very good. The family buys ten steamed buns, and then buys some soy milk, and breakfast is ready.

Feng Li handed over the ten yuan and waited for the boss to pick up the buns for him, but she didn't expect the next word from the boss to suddenly make her good mood disappear all at once.

"I'm sorry, four yuan a bun, ten buns forty." The owner of the breakfast stall said with a smile.

"What? Four dollars a piece?! Boss, aren't you mistaken, didn't you use it for a dollar before? You've raised your price too hard, right? "Hear the words of the owner of the early stall. Feng Li suddenly asked in surprise.

"No mistake, how could it be mistaken? Now our Zhongxian is not the same as before, you are all high-income, of course our price level has to be adjusted with income, what is this called? That's, according to you, it's called ...... Times! The owner of the bun shop said with a grin.

In fact, last night when all the office workers in the middle county were partying. All the self-employed people are not idle. Take these breakfast stalls as an example, dozens of bosses meet at once. It didn't take long to add up the magnitude of the price increase.

According to them, these people who go to work are now earning too much, and they are not rising in vain. In the past, they did the same many times, and in the past few years, the county has raised wages once, but the magnitude is not large. There are only more than 300 yuan, but the wages have not risen yet, and the prices of those fish, meat, eggs and milk and other non-staple foods, as well as some large and small restaurants, have already risen one step ahead. These operators have smart noses, and they can't hide from them at all.

"That can't go up that much. Your bun is so big, it's not cheap to sell for one dollar, and now it's four yuan, even in Yanjing, you can't use so much! Feng Li said a little angrily.

"That's no way, it's the price now." The owner of the early stall obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Feng Liduo, and said a little impatiently.

Just when Feng Li and the early stall owner were arguing there, a quarrel also broke out at a stall next to them.

"Is this pancake of gold or silver? Twenty dollars a piece? I think you might as well grab it! A man, apparently also stopping by to buy breakfast after a workout, stood in front of the pancake fruit stall and argued angrily.

"At this price, love to buy it or not!" The pancake buyer obviously didn't want to argue with the customer either, and he knew that the more he talked, the more wrong he became. In fact, he also knows in his heart that it is normal for customers to react like this, the original pancake fruit of five yuan a piece, now it has risen to 20 all of a sudden, and anyone will react like this, now they only have nothing to say, they believe that it will not take a few days, and people will get better after getting used to this price.

In fact, almost overnight, the prices of all the related service industries such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation in Zhongxian County have collectively risen three to four times!

There are also some real estate projects on sale in Zhongxian County, the average price was originally three or four thousand, and now all of them have been mentioned overnight to about 10,000, an average increase of nearly three times!

Countless office workers just had been happy for half a day and one night, and when they woke up the next day, they found that the part of their price increase was offset by the rising prices.

As a result, countless excited people began to scold on the Internet and in reality, saying that these merchants had no conscience, and the merchants also responded unexpectedly, saying that it is natural for the income to increase, and the price of goods will increase accordingly, and you can not buy it if it is too expensive!

In Chu Yang's office, Xu Lili reported the situation to Chu Yang with some anger, and said angrily at the end: "Chu County, tell me, are these people too greedy." It turns out that we, the office workers, earn less, but now we have just earned a little more, and they are red-eyed, a bun sells for four yuan, a pancake sells for twenty, and a bowl of beef noodles dares to buy fifty yuan, which is higher than the price in Yanjing, they are simply robbing money! ”

After listening to the secretary's report, Chu Yang's face instantly became ugly. He didn't expect that these merchants in Zhongxian County would dare to do this, this is a blatant confrontation with the government!

The current wage adjustment in Zhongxian County is very large. But it's just a reasonable adjustment. It is normal for incomes to rise and prices to rise, but there must always be a reasonable proportion, and the act of selling buns for four yuan like this is simply disrupting the market order and raising prices!

His face was gloomy. said to Xu Lili: "Call and ask Ma Liqun to come to my office immediately!" ”

Ma Liqun is the director of the county price bureau, and he has just been promoted in this adjustment. Strictly speaking, this kind of thing can be done with the deputy county magistrate in charge, but the salary increase is operated by Chu Yang, and now that such a problem has arisen, how can he ignore it?

The county price bureau was not far from the government compound, and Xu Lili's phone call went out. In less than ten minutes, Ma Qun arrived at Chu Yang's office.

At the same time, he was accompanied by Huang Xiaoyong, who had just served as the executive deputy county magistrate. This guy has just been in the position of director of the Bureau of Commerce for less than a year, and he has been promoted to such an important county leadership position, for him, it is like riding a super rocket! And the reason why he can have such achievements today is completely due to Chu Yang's promotion. So after knowing the situation of price hikes in the county, I immediately rushed over non-stop!

The two of them sat in Chu Yang's office. Looking at the county magistrate Chu sitting behind the desk, he didn't dare to take a breath. Anyone can see it. Chu County's mood at the moment is very unhappy, very unhappy!

"It's not like that! It's so unbelievable! What are they trying to do? Want to go against the government? Who gave them the power to raise prices indiscriminately? Before the buttocks of the two of them were hot, Chu Yang slapped the table.

He slapped the table, and the two of them were so frightened that they immediately got up from the couch again.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Ma Qun's face, and while wiping his sweat, he explained to Chu Yang: "Chu County. I really don't know about this, these people are secretly colluded, and they have done this before. ”

When he said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured that Chu County, give me a day." I must find out the person who took the lead in raising the price and beat this wind down! ”

Huang Xiaoyong, who was on his side, was also busy reviewing: "Chu County, my work has not been done properly, please criticize the leader!" ”

Seeing that the two of them had a good attitude, Chu Yang's face softened a little. He looked at the two people and said, "Lao Huang and Lao Ma, you two are cadres I fancy to you, I hope you don't let me down." Increasing the income and treatment of grassroots units is a kind of care for the comrades working at the grassroots level, and we must not allow some unscrupulous businessmen to take advantage of the loopholes and take the opportunity to make a lot of ill-gotten gains! You two just go and look it up! Once violations of law and discipline are discovered, they will be dealt with strictly and will not be tolerated! ”

"Yes, please rest assured that Chu County, we will not let go of a black-hearted boss, and return a stable price level in Zhong County!" Ma Qun stood up, patted his chest and said.

Coming out of Chu Yang's office, his eyes flashed with fierceness! He has only been in this position for a few months, and he originally wanted to show some achievements to Chu County and repay the leader's kindness, but he didn't expect that the results were not made, and the chaos came first!

He is now holding a breath in his heart, hating those bosses who took the opportunity to raise prices and make a lot of money!

"Huang County, you can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to me, if this matter is not done well, I will not have the face to stay in the position of the director of this price bureau, we are doing this, you can rest assured, before getting off work this afternoon, I will definitely solve this matter!" In Huang Xiaoyong's office, Ma Liqun said in a deep voice.

"Liqun, we have been in a relationship for many years, of course I can trust you. But you really can't be sloppy about this matter, see? Chu County is really hot! Huang Xiaoyong squinted his eyes and patted Ma Liqun's shoulder and said.

"Huang County, I know the severity, you just wait and see! If you don't do a good job, you don't need to remove me, I will resign directly! Ma Qun gritted his teeth and reassured.

Coming out of the county party committee compound, Ma Liqun returned directly to the bureau, and the car called on the way to give a notice: the overall convening of a plenary meeting of middle-level cadres and above, no matter what the reason, will not be absent, and if you don't come, you will be covered directly!

The director of the office had never seen such a big fire from the director, and after hanging up the phone, he trotted to the department to notify him, and when Ma Qun returned to the unit, the conference room was already full of cadres from the Price Bureau.

Ma Qun entered the conference room with a black face.

He has been working in the price system for more than 20 years, from an ordinary soldier to the middle level, and then to the deputy director, until in this adjustment, he was directly promoted to the position of director of the bureau. His mind was clear. Although it is said that it is now advocated that prices should be handed over to the market for regulation and control, the price bureau has considerable power over price control. And for the small means of self-employed households, Ma Qun's heart is also clear. Under normal circumstances, as long as they do not go too far, the price bureau will mostly turn a blind eye. Won't bother with them. But this time, they really did!

Ma Qun was able to climb all the way from an ordinary soldier to today's position, and he was definitely not a good man or a woman. I think when he was in the law enforcement team, I don't know how many hawkers' stalls he smashed and how many small shops' business licenses were confiscated! Although most of the violent law enforcement like him is scolded on the Internet, most of those who really know this industry can understand. For the most basic law enforcers, if there is no momentum, there is no way to enforce the law in many cases. Many people have only seen law enforcers beating up hawkers on the Internet. But not many people saw the brutal side of some of the hawkers. There are always two sides to everything, and if those operators are law-abiding, how can they conflict with law enforcers? In the event of a conflict, it is also obviously unfair to blindly shift the blame to the law enforcers.

Of course, most of the cases that have been posted on the Internet are some extreme cases. In order to pursue the purpose of attracting attention, the Internet has infinitely amplified some conflicts in society, and has invisibly played the role of a promoter of contradictions. From this point of view, the role of the Internet is actually very disgraceful. At present, the Internet in China is still in an immature stage, and the Internet itself lacks proper order and norms, nor has it assumed due social responsibility, which will take time to slowly change.

Ma Qun sat in front of the stage, glanced around at the middle-level cadres and deputy directors under him, and suddenly slapped the table.

"It's not like that. It's so unbelievable! Suddenly, the horsepower group roared, and the sound shook the entire conference room!

"Prices in the county have risen four times in one night! It's just so daring, who gave them this power? Is there still a price bureau in mind? ”

After he roared for a while, Tie said with a blushing face, "After the meeting." Everyone in the whole world gave me the street law enforcement! Before we get off work this afternoon, we must bring prices down! ”

The director is ruthless, how dare these staff members below not rush? One after another law enforcement cars came out of the compound of the Price Bureau, and all the staff of the Price Bureau on the cars changed into neat law enforcement uniforms, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood! The price bureau is doing this job, and with the orders of the superiors, it is really necessary to investigate, these people are really too familiar with the road!

Zhongxian Hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in Zhongxian. Before noon, the boss Ma Dazhuang had already hummed a little song proudly, waiting for today's bumper harvest.

After a night of busy work, all the menus in the store have been re-done, and the average price of the dishes has increased by three to five times, of course, he is not worried that no one will come to eat, the current people in Zhongxian are really rich, he is a little brother who works in the county transportation bureau, and he is reluctant to spend his own money every time he comes here to eat, and others invite him. As a result, this guy ordered a big dinner of more than 1,000 yuan last night, which is called a pride. I heard that he can now earn more than 13,000 yuan a month, plus half a year's salary, he was paid more than 60,000 yuan at once yesterday!

This number deeply stimulated Ma Dazhuang. Although he runs such a big restaurant, he can make one or two million a year long, but how much worry does he have to worry about. A small office worker can easily earn 10, 60,000 or 70,000 yuan all year round, which is much easier than him!

In the past, when Ma Dazhuang faced these people, his sense of superiority was still obvious, but since yesterday, this sense of superiority has disappeared. In the past, he always looked down on those who went to work, and the little money he made every month was not enough for him to eat a meal, but now it is different. Those people have become rich people, how can they not earn a little more?

In fact, Ma Dazhuang also understands in his heart that the so-called price increase is just an excuse. In fact, for his restaurant, there is no change in the cost of labor or raw materials, and part of the increase is net income. Although the workers below are also clamoring for a wage increase, they don't have the courage to shout in front of him, but they just talk about it in private. He doesn't worry about these people not doing it, handymen like this can recruit a lot of them at any time!

The operating costs did not increase, but the profits suddenly increased three or four times, and Ma Dazhuang flew towards him as if he saw a pile of banknotes with wings.

However, his smug mood did not last long, and was interrupted by the lobby manager who hurried over.

"Mr. Ma, it's not good, someone from the Price Bureau has come, saying that we are raising prices, disrupting the normal operation of the market, and revoking our business license!" The lobby manager said in a panic.

"What? Price Bureau? Impossible, I have such a good relationship with them Director Li, can they check my store? When Ma Dazhuang heard the news, his eyes immediately widened!

When he hurried out, he saw several people in law enforcement uniforms at the Price Bureau, with seals attached there, and he was anxious.

"What are you doing? Who made you seal it? Tear it up, tear it all up for me! Ma Dazhuang said, he was going to tear the seal!

"Ma Dazhuang, you can see clearly, this is a legally binding seal, if you tear it, believe it or not, I will arrest you now!" A staff member of the price bureau shouted loudly when he saw the angry Ma Dazhuang!

When Ma Dazhuang heard this, he was excited, and his movements immediately slowed down! (To be continued......)
