Chapter 224: Let Them Go Bankrupt
Wang Junpeng estimated that under the government's planned economy, the increase in the price of essential daily necessities will not be too much, and no matter how much the price rises, it is impossible to produce cohesion if people are starved to death. But the first to rise is definitely these light luxuries, and they won't die if they don't use it anyway.
He quickly purchased several baskets of supplies, plus clothes and the like, to buy his own quota limit.
In the Earth Era, a planned economy with a flexible system is adopted, and the total amount of materials produced is produced by big data due to the common sharing of means of production. In order to advocate everyone to be frugal and shop reasonably, the price of all goods adopts a step-by-step approach, and the more you buy the same product in a certain period of time, the more expensive the price will be.
The first tier is the regular price, the second tier is up 20%, the third tier is up 40%, and so on.
Wang Junpeng decisively stopped when he bought the price of the 60% increase, and at this time, all kinds of miscellaneous things added up, more than 20,000 yuan, full of several large bags, and swiped the card on the unmanned retail machine for half a day.
The people around have already sent strange eyes, is this product too much to buy?
Even if you want to stock up on some goods while it's cheap, you don't need to buy so much.
Someone is still muttering to himself, should he buy more......
They buy things now and save them for their own use, which is understandable. But if you really be a fallen master, it doesn't seem to be suitable......
Wang Junpeng stubbornly snapped, he just bought more, what's the matter, is it still illegal?
He secretly strengthened his determination, "Aren't you also buying, laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps, and still laughing at others here?" Even if I buy it and use it myself, it's nothing, right? ”
However, the material reserve of 20,000 yuan is definitely not enough, and no matter how much you have to pay more than 100,000 yuan, you can earn more.
But my personal quota has been a bit overspent, what should I do?
Wang Junpeng's eyes rolled, and he quickly thought of another idea, which was to borrow the quota from other friends......
It's a big deal, you can cooperate.
That fool Xu Jie refused to support, in the face of interests, there are always people who will support it.
And just like that, a week passed quickly......
Earth Era is still moving at high speed in orbit to reduce the probability of being targeted by enemy missiles. The civilization on the other side also seems to have entered a state of silence, perhaps the other side has observed the scene of the nuclear bomb being sucked into high-dimensional fragments, and is evaluating the strength of both sides; Or maybe there is no such super rocket, and it will not be able to launch an attack for the time being.
Both sides are brewing their next offensive.
The pressure in this silence is like the calm before the storm.
In the past few days, the top level of the entire human civilization is nervously assigning various planning tasks, Zhang Yuan can only rest for three or four hours a day, communicating with surface bases, communicating with scientists, and producing some small arms, which is simply too busy.
Some production lines have been urgently redeployed to the arms manufacturing industry. In particular, for the production of small electromagnetic guns, if some parts are produced with heavy metal 3D printers, several units can indeed be urgently assembled to get rid of the current dilemma of no combat capability.
And the propaganda department is carrying out an overwhelming propaganda campaign for war.
But on the other hand, there is a strange chaos of ice and fire among the people, on the one hand, there is a wave of donations, and on the other hand, there is a rush to buy goods.
Many people's enthusiasm for work has increased significantly, and the number of donations is also very enthusiastic, and some people are even willing to contribute half of their wages to help the entire civilization tide over the difficulties!
Money here is not just a number, it means purchasing power, it means government credit. After donating, it is equivalent to a voluntary reduction in the quality of life.
On the other hand, there is a rush to buy material resources.
On the first day after the news broadcast broadcast, the supermarket was quite normal, and there were not many people who bought supplies on a large scale, and the amount of money everyone bought was also spontaneously limited, so they had to use it themselves anyway......
But on the second and third days, the crowd began to increase in a straight line. Under the leadership of some people, a herd effect was soon formed, so that a large number of people had a herd mentality and began to rob wildly.
There are even some rumors in the market, saying that "there is going to be a war, and prices will inevitably rise", and some folk experts have analyzed them with reasonable evidence, and even listed all those things that may rise in price!
As a result, after everyone listened, they rushed up without thinking.
All kinds of noisy snappers are like locusts, almost all the things in the supermarket are emptied, which has seriously affected normal life!
Anyway, in people's minds, it never hurts to buy a little more!
Despite repeated assurances from the government that it will not cut off the supply of these supplies, the panic caused by the herd effect is unlikely to disappear with a few promises. Even if the purchase restriction order is introduced, there are still fewer porridge and more monks, and some people even complain on the Internet that they can't buy things or something.
After Zhang Yuan read this report, he was angry and funny, they were working hard in front of the plan, the soldiers were training urgently, the workers on the planet were working overtime all day and night, and there was an inexplicable riot in the rear!
"It's just too comfortable?"
In fact, grabbing a few typical examples to intimidate ordinary people can also temporarily suppress this problem, but using power politics to solve it is always unsustainable, and it is better not to use it indiscriminately. Not to that extent, at least so far.
"It's a donation again, it's a robbery...... The people are a collection of contradictions. ”
"So, now there are no relevant laws and regulations, and there are still quite a lot of loopholes in our policies...... Even in the planned economy, there are some loopholes under special circumstances. Captain Zhao frowned and sighed.
"On the issue of manpower in legal areas......"
Several legal experts also blushed slightly, and many of their laws were copied from the earth, and not much has changed.
But the Earth civilization is a large society, with a population of hundreds of billions and spanning multiple planets, and the Earth Era is only a small society with a population of 500,000. The difference in size will lead to different rates of panic spreading.
But if these things don't happen, it's really hard to think about that in advance.
At this time, the head of the Propaganda Department said: "Actually, it's not a big problem, let the TV station people solve this problem...... It just so happened that those few of our soldiers came back, and when they were interviewed, they could take the common sense of space warfare with them. ”
"Now is an emergency, rather than forcibly arresting people and causing panic, it is more appropriate to use public opinion propaganda."
Zhang Yuan nodded and agreed: "Actually, we can't just see the appearance...... There are many more people who do not participate in the looting than those who participate in the looting, and many more people actually hope for social stability and hope that we can win this war. ”
"A lot of people are not bad in their hearts, but they are driven by a few guys who think they are smart. Human beings are always conformists......"
Immediately afterwards, there was a hint of murder in his eyes: "The legal system must also be improved as soon as possible...... As for those speculative businessmen, it is better to teach them a lesson, or even bankrupt, than to arrest them directly! ”
