Goods are in increasing demand on the Moscow market. The work of our customs clearance company is also becoming more and more onerous. Our sea, land and air freight are in full swing, and there are almost no days off.

Everything in the world is like this, when the moon is full, it will be lost, and things will be reversed.

I was busy distributing goods in the market when I received a call from Sergei asking me to go back to the head office. After explaining my work to my assistant, I took a taxi back to the headquarters.

I walked into his office, saw Sergei standing in front of the window and pondering something, and when I came in, he turned and said;

- "Lina, the market is closing!" ”

- "What? How many days is it closed? I asked, a little confused by what he meant

- "Permanently closed, demolished!" Sergey said

- "It's been more than a day or two of clamoring to close this market, but I haven't seen any movement?" I said

- "This time is different! Lina, Putin has already ordered it, and even the date of the closure has been set. Sergei said, his expression a little solemn.

I know that for our company, the first thing to be hit by the market closure is the marketing department that I lead.

It is undeniable that the large market of Moscow made a great contribution to the prosperity of the light industrial goods market in Russia and even in Eastern Europe as a whole during the transformation of the Russian economy. However, due to the relatively backward business model and imperfect market supervision, these markets have gradually become a breeding ground for all kinds of crime.

Not only are pickpocketing and robbery cases frequent, but fights and brawls are also commonplace, and casualties caused by fights occur from time to time. There are many undocumented criminals and illegal immigrants from various countries hiding in the market, which also poses a great threat to the personal and property safety of the surrounding citizens.

Serious security problems have caused the people of Moscow to complain about this market, and they have repeatedly asked the government to close it.

Not only that, but this market is also the best place for illegal transactions such as smuggling, money laundering, etc. The market is flooded with counterfeit products from all over the world, as well as a large number of contraband, even weapons and drugs.

Removing the cancer of the market has also been put on the agenda of the Russian government.

The China Marketing Department, which I manage, includes both freight and marketing parts, and also has the functions of market remittance and warehouse, and has many functions and personnel.

Following Sergey's instructions, I began to inform the client to vacate the warehouse. Transfer the remittance points in the market to the head office.

As the business space moved and shrunk, the redundant employees in our department began to be laid off one after another. This is the most painful and embarrassing thing for me. Fortunately, Sergei did not give me a specific time and requirements, but twice asked me what difficulties I had, and he could have been more accommodating.

I got a call from Andrei over the weekend and he asked me why I was still in the office so late? I told him about the changes in our company and my current job.

Andre said that the big market should have closed a long time ago, and that the primitive business model itself had many problems.

The changes in the Moscow market are a microcosm of social development.

The birth, development, prosperity, decay of the market - figuratively condenses the essence of the change of certain things.

People who have experienced market changes may have a deeper experience of the impermanence and uncertainty of life.

As for me, Linna, I have seen too many people get rich overnight in this market, and I have seen many people go bankrupt in an instant.

How many people start to spend all their time and get carried away after they have money; There are also too many people who take risks for money, and even sell their souls!

Perhaps the world in which we exist is what it is, and the big market in Moscow happens to epitomize all this.

In a market economy, money is important.

But in the Moscow market, the importance of money is mythologized! Money has become the only thing that people admire here. Everything can be sacrificed for money. It is the soul and master of this market!

Money is no longer the carrier of the basic material conditions needed to sustain life. It has long since outgrown its usefulness.

Money controls people's souls, spirits, bodies, beliefs, and freedom! It has become the measure of everything, the goal of all actions.

It adjusts the relationship between people, it can easily detect a person's bottom line, and reveal the ugliest human nature.

It dominates some people's brains, making them feel honor and disgrace, despair, jealousy, failure, pride, love and hate, love and hatred...... It even extends to the infinite expansion and comprehensive denial of one's own and others' value perception.

I know that all this is not the fault of the money itself. It is people who subjectively give too much of the inner definition of money and get themselves into it.
