On the issue of the improvement of the city's pricing power

8:04 a.m

The entire congress hall was silent, everyone lowered their heads, looking at the light and shadow screen in front of them, the first topic was raised by the eight associations, there are problems and loopholes in the current pricing power, and the problem of pricing power needs to be specifically improved.

In the middle, there is a round table, and the six gods sit in 3D human forms of their respective colors on chairs corresponding to their respective colors.

Only one blue chair was empty, and many people didn't quite understand what it meant, although there were speculations, but no one cared about such a question, just looked at the first bill very intently.

The entire congress hall felt like a battlefield where war was about to begin, and there was a heavy sense of oppression in the air.

Squeak

The door behind the Operations Section opened, Ye Chunwang and Hawke walked in, everyone looked at the past for a while, and the two members of the General Affairs Section who opened the door quickly closed the door again, Hawke and Ye Chunwang nodded with the people of the Operations Section, and sat in the last row behind the Operations.

The gods gave everyone 20 minutes to read and think, and then the meeting began to discuss the topic in its entirety.

Many people were a little nervous, because they didn't expect that it would be difficult to reach a consensus on pricing power from the beginning.

The discussion of the proposal was all arranged by the gods, and this was also the most concerned issue for the merchants and families.

Because of the problem of pricing power, many people have suffered in this in the past, and the pricing power of 9 branches has made most businessmen start to be timid, thus missing some opportunities, and many businessmen have already spoken out in protest.

Such a system will hinder the city's economy, and if the merchants are unable to let go of their hands, the city's economy will even stagnate.

Alpha and the other section chiefs who had gone out in the morning had returned half an hour earlier, and Alpha didn't seem to be out of the ordinary.

Clark stared at Wu Qun and the others opposite, who came over to talk about pricing power at first, not looking unintentional, but intentional.

It was just 8:11 a.m

There are still 9 minutes to start the formal discussion, but at this time, everyone's minds are clear, and the section chiefs who came in later also knew from Locke's mouth about the pricing power that the parliamentarians had said before.

Neither was stupid, and knew what Freya meant, and Locke sat in the seat closest to the gods, and he was in charge of presiding over the meeting.

It's just that everyone present was a little puzzled, because they didn't see the section chief of the 13th section, Jean, and the 13th section abstained from voting on the display.

There are already many people waiting for the end of the time, everyone is looking forward to the beginning of the topic, especially the businessmen, this is a matter of their own lives, many businessmen have applied for the right to speak, will be in the discussion of the topic, if necessary, will let the businessmen speak.

The atmosphere in the entire hall became heavier and heavier as time passed, and the ease that had just appeared briefly because of the arrival of Hawke and Ye Chunwang had disappeared.

Hawke and Ye Chunwang had already finished reading the document, but both of them felt a little strange, because the pricing power has been written into the law at present, and it is also supported by the eight major associations, and businessmen do not have the right to set prices for their own goods.

But this question is now on the table, and it always feels a little confusing, just as Ye Chunwang was thinking about it, Hawke laughed, and seemed to have understood.

"It's going to be a big show at first!"

As Hawke spoke, Ye Chunwang suddenly came to his senses, nodded and leaned back comfortably.

"It's time to go!"

As the red god spoke, the purple god next to him pointed to the side of the councilor's faction.

"Wu Qun, it's up to you to explain it specifically."

Wu Qun stood up, a smile appeared on his serious expression, and he bowed first.

"First of all, on behalf of all the councillors, I would like to thank the six gods, as well as the Excellencies of the Operations Section on the other side, for giving us the opportunity to enter here!"

After Wu Qun bowed, he put away the smile on his face.

"It's been more than 50 years since the city was founded! All of you here, as well as those who have participated in the important construction of the city in the past, make up the main body of the city! ”

Wu Qun slowly walked out of the seat and stepped on a platform, with the slow rise of the platform, Wu Qun stood on the platform more than 2 meters high, and pressed his hands on the table at will.

"In the past, the structure of our city was very simple, maybe not called a city, but a community of human beings, and the chaos and unbearability of the city are a true portrayal of the past few decades, and I would like to ask a question here!"

Holding up his right hand, his right hand, clenched into a fist, stretched out his index finger.

"Are we serving the city, or should the city serve us? I hope you will think about this. ”

Freya behind Wu Qun smiled and nodded, and everyone listened attentively.

"As the core part of the main body of the city, the economy is the inducement that determines everything, and the pricing power directly determines the circulation speed and quality of the economy!"

Hu Youran in the auditorium looked at Wu Qun with some surprise, he didn't use complicated examples and other categories to explain, but went straight to the core point, sure enough, this guy is really very powerful.

"Nowadays, because of the problems of the construction of the Angus family, the economic problems of the city have become full of holes, and all kinds of chaos have emerged, making the management of the city difficult and complicated, but if the pricing power is handed over to the market, there will definitely be price chaos, speculation, resource monopoly and so on!"

As soon as Wu Qun's words fell, for a while, the people in the merchant auditorium and the family auditorium all looked at Wu Qun, and many people's eyes looked at Wu Qun with anger.

"So I don't think there's a problem with nationalizing the pricing power."

As soon as Wu Qun's words fell, some businessmen couldn't sit still, and many people felt threatened, obviously they had been in contact with Wu Qun many times before, hoping that on the issue of pricing power, they could unify their voice, at least let the department relax the control of pricing power, so that everyone would be more relaxed, but now Wu Qun's speech has angered many people.

"Of course! I have raised the issue of the speed and quality of economic flows, but I would like to look at a typical example. ”

As he spoke, Wu Qun called up a light and shadow screen, and quickly called up the documents that had been prepared in the motion.

On the light and shadow screen, the economic structure of a chain restaurant has changed in the past ten years, and the economic structure changes have been stable three years ago, but in the last three years, the turnover of this chain restaurant has declined a lot, and there has been a sudden dip to the bottom.

"The bottom of the rock is that the restaurant can't afford the original size, and when the pricing power was not returned to Congress, the store had its own pricing power, but after the pricing power was returned to Congress, the store's turnover began to decline, and the chain store used to provide stable tax revenue every year, but now it has shrunk by more than 35% compared to before."

"Why!"

The cyan god spoke, and a high-pitched and serious female voice sounded, and Wu Qun bowed.

"The reason is the service fee, as I said before, the sudden nationalization of the pricing power has disrupted the normal flow of the market economy, and the final pricing of the price of the goods obtained by some merchants is lower than in the past, and it is difficult to support the huge volume of the past after the profit becomes smaller, which eventually leads to the fact that this interlocking restaurant can only sell some of its restaurants to ensure that the restaurants in the places with the largest foot traffic can continue to make profits."

Wu Qun's voice became a little deeper.

"Because of the low profits, chain restaurants that used to rely on self-adjusting pricing to support the corresponding economic volume can only charge a service fee to customers, but not every customer can understand and accept it. The owner of the restaurant chain was also there, and I thought it would be more direct for me to ask him to speak. ”

A middle-aged man, half-bald, who had been given permission to speak, stood up and kept saying some words of thanks.

"Our company has not had a good time in recent years, before the price of our chain restaurants was much higher than the price given by Congress, but then we will charge a service fee in order to make up for the loss, but many customers hate our approach, and the business of many stores has begun to fade, because the service quality and decoration of our store, the freshness of the dishes and other categories are better than the same type of stores in the area, so our dishes cannot be at the same price as them, so we can't maintain everything in the store. Even the treatment of employees will be reduced! In the past few years, there have been some disputes between employees and customers in our store, and their salaries have been halved compared to the past, but they still have to serve as before, so some employees are not in a good mood. ”

The middle-aged man said, everything was clear and clear, and at this time, the talents of the merchant families breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll start with a little bit."

Brandon, the section chief of the Ninth Business Section, stood up, his eyes stared sharply at Wu Qun opposite, jumped out of his seat directly, and walked to the platform next to Locke.

"I personally understand what happened to this businessman friend just now! But ......."

Brandon changed his usual weak style and became tougher.

"Someone makes money, naturally someone loses money, many people are patient, not only this businessman friend is having a hard time, but the same people have made money under such a pricing system, Wu Qun Congressman please don't give some examples of failure, I also hope you can come up with some successful examples, the implementation of a system is accompanied by both sides of failure and success, if it is only one-sided, I am afraid it is difficult to explain the two core essence of the problem you raised!"

Wu Qun smiled and nodded, and at this time, the originally happy businessmen all looked at Wu Qun eagerly, hoping that Wu Qun could quickly come up with something more powerful to refute the opposite department.

Wu Qun nodded, and brought up another case, which is a chain of small food supermarkets, in the past 10 years, before the pricing power was nationalized, the turnover of this small supermarket chain did not fluctuate much, but after the pricing power was taken over by Congress, the turnover of this small supermarket chain began to rise in a straight line.

But the example given by Wu Qun worries everyone, because it is indeed as Brandon said, some people make money because of pricing, and some people lose money because of pricing, which is actually related to the fact that in the past, businessmen began to increase their own economic volume after making profits during the period of independent pricing.

"Congressman Wu Qun, the example you gave doesn't seem to have much to do with the two core issues you raised, the speed and quality of economic flows!"

Wu Qun smiled and nodded, many people were sweating in Wu Qun, but at this time, Wu Qun raised his right hand again and stretched out his index finger.

"Do you remember the question I asked at the beginning?"

At this time, everyone was thinking about it, and they all knew that the two examples cited by Wu Qun were not enough to stand on their feet, because the former was due to the relatively large volume, and after the pricing, it was difficult to support the previous huge volume and suffered losses, and the latter was because the volume itself was relatively small, and after the pricing, the business improved, and the economic volume increased, but in fact, its own material volume was still the same as in the past.

The problem seems to be back to square one, but at this time Brandon realized that Wu Qun dug a hole for himself at the beginning, and he stupidly jumped into it, and the two examples thrown by Wu Qun are things that attract people.

Whether the city serves the people, or the people serve the city, at this time, everyone figured out the key point of Wu Qun's pun.

"Whether it's a city built by people or the people who live in it, everyone's relationship is mutual! The flow of the economy is the eternal core, because of the flow of the economy, the city can develop, people can live, everything is running, and the pricing power can be seen as a kind of inhibiter, inhibiting all aspects of the city, but it also hinders all aspects of people. ”

Wu Qun's expression relaxed, and his hands spread slightly to the sides of the platform.

"I'm not saying that pricing power should be as in the past, by businessmen according to the rules of the market to set their own prices, but I want to explain a problem, pricing is related to everything in the city, everything to people, now pricing power is too mechanical, not humane, because every industry is different, only use 150% of the upper limit as a measurement standard, obviously no, such a standard will only lead to the balance of supply and demand, always maintain a constant value, over time, the balance of supply and demand is no longer the balance of supply and demand, but a custom balance! You should understand what I mean. ”

Wu Qun said, raising his voice and continuing.

"If an industry is timidly maintained at a constant value for a long time, a factory needs 100 workers, and the output of 100 workers, no matter how the change in efficiency, it is still 100 workers, because everyone is worried that next year's pricing will make them lose their money, so it is impossible to continue to increase the volume, but as you know, the current population in the city is constantly growing, the unemployment rate is still a problem, and the factory cannot increase the number of workers. An industry is bound to maintain a constant value, how to continue development? How to get more people into employment, how to increase demand? This is the state of the city for three years after the pricing power was taken over to Congress, and the economy went into a Great Depression because of the shutdown of Angus construction. ”

As soon as Wu Qun's words fell, for a while, the businessmen, the people in the family, and the parliamentarians burst into warm applause.

Brandon took a deep breath, he didn't speak, and Wu Qun waited for the applause to stop, and then continued.

"Need needs to be created, and the creation of demand is the need to let the industry have a point of sustainable growth, rather than to regulate through the suppressor of pricing power, forcibly let supply and demand reach a theoretical balance, if the market economy is just a theory, now there will not be so many people unemployed, there will not be so many people living a day by day, there will not be so many businessmen cowering, every New Year is like a trial."

Brand said with a smile at this time.

"So according to Councilor Wu Qun, do you mean to return the pricing power to the merchants?"

After the tentative inquiry, the merchants and the people of the family immediately showed joy, but as Wu Qun shook his head, everyone's faces were full of doubts.

"We should make the pricing power specific details, or industrialization, we can't use such rigid data to feed back the calculated value to determine the pricing power, but should measure the pricing power by the future development trend of each industry, and we must consider the sustainable growth point of the industry in the next 10 or even 20 years, which is the purpose of our proposal to revise the pricing power, the economy should be a slow flow of water, in order to feed most of the people in the city, so that everyone becomes a beneficiary, Instead of someone failing, someone succeeds! It should be relative success, as well as relative failure, compared to success and failure, with more profit than more profit, with less profit compared with a certain loss, this is the final conclusion of supply and demand! ”

Brandon looked at Wu Qun without saying a word, he knew that there was no chance to refute it now, and the current pricing control was indeed carried out by relying on data, and the result was indeed as Wu Qun said, the industry began to stagnate, everyone was afraid of pricing power, and many small and medium-sized businessmen were reducing their capital and only investing their capital in the part that could make a stable profit.

Although some people are still holding on to some industries that cannot make stable profits, the continuous decline of these industries is unacceptable to many people.

Industries that can't make a profit will naturally be kicked out, naturally there will be no way to recruit more workers, and naturally there won't be much output, which will eventually lead to the shrinkage of the market, and the shrinking of the market will lead to a decline in demand.

"Do you have anything else to say? Brandon. ”

The orange god asked, Brand shook his head and bowed, he wanted to wait for the construction of the Angus family to stabilize before making adjustments to the issue of pricing power, but now it seems that it can't be sustained, and Wu Qun has clearly explained everything.

"Anyone else wants to speak?"

The businessmen looked at Wu Qun excitedly, and they were all waiting for the voting to begin.

Soon the first bill was won by an overwhelming number of votes from the MPs, and although there were many abstentions, the first bill was generally successfully concluded.

The issue of pricing power will be discussed jointly and concretely by the Legislators and the 9 Divisions in the future, and the issue of pricing power, which is currently somewhat rigid, will be resolved.

"Alright guys, let's move on to the next issue!"

Regarding the specific amendment of the Trinity Act and the exercise of the legitimate rights of the Enforcement Division

For a while, Perry Stan and Xingyuan, who were in the audience of celebrities, looked at the motion in front of them with some surprise, and the person who proposed it was Alpha. Angus.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Alpha's body, and this question finally came, and everyone immediately thought of the past Hydra case.

This case has now become a textbook-level case, which has been engraved in history and has no conclusion at all.

But it is clear that Alpha's proposal this time is to improve something in the Trinity Law and pull Hydra up from the side.

At this time, the crowd began to stir, and everyone looked at the details of the bill submitted by Alpha and felt that something was wrong, because one of them, all the members of the Acting Section were equipped with weapons, which made many people feel uneasy.

Freya looked carefully at everything Alpha proposed, and always felt that if this breakthrough was opened, the legal gun control would usher in a new round of high-pressure control in the city.

The intensity was enough now, and Freya felt that there was really no need to be so tough.

It's just that in the last riot, it was a fact that a large number of officers died, and a riot of that scale was finally solved by shooting and killing, including the fact that the previous criminals fled the city en masse, and in that time the criminals fled the city, the number of dead and injured members of the Operations Section was even higher.

To this day, there are still many people who were disabled in that incident, because they had no weapons at that time, only stun guns, tear gas and other conventional repressive and dispersal weapons, and the perpetrators directly took out heavy fire weapons.

Fortunately, Alpha applied for the lifting of the ban in time, so that the people in the department took up arms to fight back, but in the end, more than 1,000 people were killed and more than 3,000 were injured to varying degrees.

In recent years, there have also been cases of officers of the Operations Section dying while stopping crimes, and some have even been beaten to death.

Obviously, stun guns, tear gas, and handcuffs are not enough to solve all problems, and many people are afraid to enter the 5th section because they are afraid that when chaos occurs, they will be hurt in the process of stopping it.

Many people were silent, looking at these bloody factual reports submitted by Alpha, but in the supervision of the use of weapons, it was another difficult problem, how to judge the situation, which was the case with Hydra back then, pulling the trigger, which eventually led to the situation becoming extremely chaotic.

At this time, everyone was thinking about the same problem, thinking about the Hydra case, the Trinity Law from the Yansheng to the present, and the adjustments and changes made between the two.

On the brightly lit streets, Tamaii was still patrolling, he pressed the brim of his hat, walked on the streets, and occasionally saw chaos, and immediately went over to persuade him to stop it.

Nowadays, the streets of the south are full of drunks, who gather at night, and if they are not controlled in time, there is a high risk of problems.

Tamayi glanced at the glittering halls of Congress, and he sincerely hoped that Perrystein would raise the issue of Hydra's case, and for 15 years, no one cared about what this poor soul was like in prison, but repeatedly debated the question of right and wrong.

It's just that Hydra seems to have figured it out recently, and Tamaii has visited him a few times this year, and the two of them have a good chat every time they go.

Thankfully, Hydra was much more cheerful and willing to meet them, and next year Tamaii would leave the street and go to the bottom.

After meeting a colleague across the street, Tamaii nodded and greeted him, and the two walked in different directions across the street.

Today is an extremely important day, all 5 sections in each district are patrolling, and there must be people patrolling the streets 24 hours a day.

Tamai continued to walk down the street when she looked into an alley where several women were talking to some men, and he immediately walked in quickly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please show your identification."

Several people suddenly came back to their senses and looked panicked, after Tamaii looked at the identification documents of several people, none of them were from this district, and looking at their appearance, all Tamaii could think of was illegal body trading.

"My lord, let's go."

Several men said that they planned to leave, and the women also said that they wanted to go home to watch the show, and Tamaii did not stop a few people, they quickly left separately.

There was a sound of dragging objects, Tamai looked over, and a pale-faced girl, dragging a large suitcase, came out of the corridor, and the landlord chased after her.

"It's okay to leave tomorrow."

The girl shook her head, indicating that she was leaving tonight, but the landlord began to relentlessly pester the girl.

Tamaii couldn't look at it, and walked over quickly.

"Sir, miss, may I have any questions?"

Tamai looked at the unusually beautiful girl, the girl had her head down, she looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, and the landlord turned around and was about to leave.

"Sir, please show me your ID, now I suspect you may have been violent with this young lady."

The landlord immediately panicked and hurriedly shook his head, Tamai looked at a bag broken on the girl's arm, which had been broken, he directly picked up the girl's hand, the girl struggled, looking like she wanted to escape, but Tamai grabbed him and directly called the nearby 5 section clerks, the landlord felt that something was wrong, he hurriedly came over and wanted to give Tamai some money, but Tamaii directly twisted his hand and handcuffed it directly.

"Sir, now you have one more crime, bribery."

Tamai looked at the beautiful young girl named Balaika, who was still pleading.

"Brother, can you let me go, I'm really fine, the injury here is ........"

Tamaii walked straight over and lifted the back collar of Balekka, seeing the obvious scars underneath.

"Please explain where these scars came from, Miss Barek."

Baleka shook his head, squatted next to the big box, lowered his head, and looked reluctant to speak, and soon more than 20 staff members from Section 5 had already come over, and two female clerks took Baleka into the house, intending to inquire in detail, Tamaii looked at the landlord in the corner.

"Sir, if you want to hide something, we will resist arresting you first."

The landlord shook his head and didn't intend to say anything.
