Chapter 924 [Crazy Rush to Buy Food and Other Daily Necessities]
Yesterday the microwave oven was looted, and today people began to rush to buy food, and began to hoard a large number of daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
Luo Sheng, who owns Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur, can see the big data information of the whole people, and can intuitively see what the current citizens are buying through the data information such as the payment list of the products they pay.
Eating and drinking are the most snapped up.
At this time, everyone is most concerned about the big problem of eating, the first thing that comes to mind is the food shortage crisis, although it is not easy to live without electricity and not being able to play with mobile phones, but it will not be impossible to live.
But once there is a shortage of food, it is a matter of survival.
People living in the city are the most anxious, staging the phenomenon of stockpiling grain, supermarkets with rice, salt and other goods are empty, including canned food, instant noodles and other long-term storage food is frantically swept away.
I don't know what to do if I want to stimulate mass consumption, everyone is reluctant to spend money, those who want to spend money are not enough, and those who have a little money try to save up to be needed from time to time, and the consumption limit of the rich is there, and it is impossible to eat 30 meals a day.
The exposure of the solar storm has greatly stimulated consumption, and those who have saved money for emergencies are not stingy at this time.
Consumption has gone up!
In fact, the state has an emergency plan in this regard, that is, how to deal with solar storms in advance, how to avoid negative impacts, and how to use them to play a positive role.
There is no doubt that stimulating consumption is a positive effect of solar storms.
After being shaken out by dozens of scientists in Europe and the United States, the emergency response team immediately activated the emergency plan, and all the food necessities stored before were opened at this time, and the country's developed logistics system also operated rapidly.
A large number of daily necessities, food, firewood, rice, oil, salt and other essential products were quickly delivered to major supermarkets to ensure sufficient supply, to ensure that prices will not be pushed by the short-term brutal surge due to the rush to buy, and to stabilize prices.
This is the result of early preparedness, and the opening of the "granary" at this time is to stimulate consumption and stimulate rapid economic development, because it is still early before the arrival of the solar storm.
Now is the time for the whole people to pat their heads, and when the craze passes, everyone will not be so impulsive to spend.
So I saw that the shelves of the big supermarkets in some cities were emptied yesterday, and they were full today, and they were emptied today, and there were a large number of supplies in the warehouse, and they would soon be on the shelves when they closed for business at night, and tomorrow consumers will find that the shelves are full when they enter the supermarket.
The advantage of taking precautions in advance is that you can effectively use the anticipation of solar storms to play a positive role, bad things can become good things, companies get more orders, squeezed inventory is also digested, and consumers will not sweep the goods far beyond the actual value of the goods even if they are robbed.
For example, if you buy ten bags of rice and store it, as long as you don't buy it at ten times the price, you buy it at a reasonable market price, it's actually okay, and consumers won't regret jumping in anger.
Consumption goes up, employment goes up, and the economy goes up.
Therefore, I also saw that the whole people are frantically buying, buying, buying, and the relevant departments have not yet come out to intervene, because the prices of food and daily necessities are very stable, and they are all expected, and the rush to buy will fade in a few days.
As for the price of some products being speculated, for example, the price of microwave ovens rose by 80% in a day, which is okay, does not affect the stability of the overall situation, and appropriate speculation is the lubricant of the economy, just like the capital market also needs the existence of free capital, without the free capital market will not be active, a pool of stagnant water.
……
"Master, the video conference has five minutes to go."
Xiao Na's voice reminded in response, Luo Sheng also ended discussing the financial capital market with Qin Weimu, this video conference was launched by the storm response team on food issues and economic stability issues, and Luo Sheng mostly listened.
In the private office, after Luo Sheng came in, the big screen was already lit up, and the video pictures of each participant were successfully connected.
The meeting started on time.
"The problem of solar storms is not necessarily all bad, but it has a great role in promoting the strategy of revitalizing the rural economy, and the biggest impact of the storm is the metropolis, where there is a shortage of food, and it is necessary to transport grain and daily necessities from all over the country to the city, and the transportation cost will be pushed up, including the push up of other costs, including the problem of unemployment, urban security, etc., which will eventually be reflected in the cost of maintaining the operation of the city has increased significantly."
"The best way to alleviate the pressure on the city is to spread the population to rural areas across the country to digest it, the impact of solar storms on rural areas is minimal or even negligible, rural families can produce their own food, the pace of life will not be significantly affected, at most there will be fewer recreational activities."
"It's a different story in cities, with concentrated people, factory shutdowns, and large-scale water and electricity cuts that bring great disruption to daily life. Fortunately, the city is hugely mobile, and many people have a hometown, so we should encourage everyone to return to their hometowns for development, which can not only revitalize the rural economy, but also alleviate the cost of urban operations. ”
The video conference has begun, and the speaker is Yu Zhengping, a heavyweight scholar, a leading figure in the field of local cultural economics, and a research scholar who knows the most about rural economy and culture in the country.
Luo Sheng is now basically playing the role of a participant, more as an insider, which is not his main area of responsibility, but Luo Sheng obviously plays a key role in the overall solar storm prevention plan.
At this time, another participant said: "It is not mandatory to move people from the metropolis to villages all over the country, the key is to let people see the opportunity to develop in the countryside, so that people will return to their hometowns spontaneously." ”
Yu Zhengping nodded in agreement, and spoke again: "There are many factors hindering the development of the rural economy now, for example, the current social trend is to make you leave your hometown, and your parents have worked hard for you to study in college in order to leave your hometown and gain a foothold in the city. Now everyone is what to make money and what to do, farming and producing food is the least profitable, and it is also the most ineffective and may even be negative, and returning to the village to develop will be considered unproductive, and you want to say that the parents will be angry with high blood pressure when they develop in the township. ”
Saying that Yu Zhengping helplessly spread his hands and laughed at himself, everyone attending the meeting also smiled lowly, Yu Zhengping continued: "The problem of food security cannot be started alone, we must take comprehensive measures, in the past, although the level of productivity is not high for a long time, we rely on organizational ability and a complete system to ensure food security." ”
"Once the major villages receive the influx of urban population, they must confirm the main body responsible for food security, and ensure the localization of food security at least to ensure the basic food security of their own villages, and not rely on external procurement to solve the basic problem of eating and drinking."
"That is to say, the real grain is stored in the village, so that it will not cause a catastrophic consequence of food security, if there is a natural disaster or a major accident, we are waiting for the state to adjust the grain, what if the disaster is a little bigger? What if the road is blocked and you can't get through? The people waiting for the rations over there were waiting to be fed, and this kind of thing could not be said to happen at any time, and the time for the solar storm was just around the corner. ”
Everyone nodded silently, and Yu Zhengping finally added: "Another is to mobilize the urban public to participate in agriculture, the society needs to work hard, and now the citizens in the major cities are rushing to buy daily necessities, which shows that they have this awareness of the food security crisis, so why not take precautions in advance?" Why not keep a certain amount of food in stock at home at all times? ”
"If there is preparation in advance, it will not be temporary, and it may not be possible to buy it in vain, resulting in a shortage of goods, causing a series of negative factors. If the state hadn't been prepared for early preparedness, I wouldn't have dared to imagine how soaring prices would have been, and the damage to the economy and the aggravation of the gap between the rich and the poor would have been immeasurable if the people had spent more than 10 times the usual price on a bag of salt and a bag of rice. ”
Luo Sheng, who didn't say a word, scratched the back of his neck silently, as if he was the richest and spicy person present.
The core of today's meeting is how to solve the impact of solar storms on the metropolis, you must know that if a metropolis is cut off from water and electricity for a week, not to mention anything else, the paralysis of a sewage system alone will make the whole city stink, and the population of a large city will be millions or even tens of millions at every turn.
The solution to solar storms now is to reduce the size of the city's population, so where do those who leave the city go? The place where they can be received is their hometown, which is a village with branches all over the country.
But the problem is that because there are not many development opportunities in rural areas, it is precisely because of this that everyone will desperately squeeze into the big cities.
Therefore, the core essence of the problem is to make the rural areas have a future for development, so as to attract people, especially young people, to return to their hometowns and take root, and naturally, the population will return from the big cities, so as to solve the operating costs of the big cities, and also save the operating costs of the society as a whole.
As soon as the solar storm comes, there is no need to be afraid, but the whole people can calmly look up at the starry sky to see a once-in-a-millennium aurora beauty.
