Supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Can I buy something with this?" An old man with a dark complexion, full of old lines, like the bark of a dead tree, holding a food stamp in his hand, asked resignedly.

"Yes."

The staff at the counter glanced at the food stamps in the old man's hand and replied briefly.

At the corner at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, there is a complaint box, although a few complaints can not bring much trouble, but there is always a layer of constraints.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, he had been worried about being deceived on the road, it seemed that this thing could really be used as money.

The goods of the supply and marketing cooperatives are cheaper than those in the market, and some goods are one or two percent cheaper, and some are even half cheaper.

For example, mirrors, kerosene, kerosene lamps, glass, fertilizers, etc., including cement, are sold.

As long as there are on the market, there are supply and marketing cooperatives, and there are supply and marketing cooperatives that are difficult to see on the market, which can be regarded as a small trade center.

Of course.

Depending on the location, the types of goods served will certainly be different.

Supply and marketing cooperatives in places such as Beiping City, Daxing County, Northeast Tai Village, and Tuanjian Housing Area are naturally the largest, and the rest of the places are slightly inferior in scale, and the smaller the area, the smaller the scale.

Month-end inventory.

The shopkeeper of the supply and marketing cooperative, after reading the sales of this month, then wrote the report that needs to be submitted to the superior department on the desk.

The report has become an important communication channel for China Heavy Industries.

However, the requirements for the report are not complicated, but when there is something difficult, it is only required to truthfully write the work of the month in order to understand the actual situation at the grassroots level.

For example, supply and marketing cooperatives.

Which goods are sold more this month, which goods are still not sold this month, there is a shopkeeper with strong libido, and even take the initiative to put forward it in the report, suggesting that this product be withdrawn.

Cai Wen from the Finance Department temporarily came to Shizifu and saw Zhu Gaochi, his face was heavy, and he handed over a questionnaire with both hands.

Zhu Gaochi opened it and saw that it was about the Efficacy Society, and it began: "Regarding the investigation of the sudden increase in food stamps and the surge in sales of the supply and marketing cooperatives." ”

That's a good thing.

"What's the situation?" Zhu Gaochi asked while looking at it.

Cai Wen explained, "Because in the reports of the shopkeepers of many supply and marketing cooperatives, there are many customers who don't look like workers, and they are not military households. ”

"Although the sales volume of the supply and marketing cooperatives is rising every month, the sales volume in the last three months is ridiculously high, so it arouses suspicion."

"So I asked the Research Department to investigate, and the results of the investigation turned out to be on the food stamps."

After reading it, Zhu Gaochi's face was complicated.

A large population means a large number of intelligent people, no matter what the era.

Grain stamps can be exchanged for equivalent coins or grain, and there is a backing of the China Heavy Industry System, which has a certain credibility over a long period of time.

Then in order to encourage people to use food stamps, there was the rise of supply and marketing cooperatives.

The principle is not complicated.

For example, in the sales department, the real estate company not only sells the house itself, but also outsources the house to the sales company, and there are many channels.

The same is true for the insurance industry, where a lot of sales are outsourced, including the credit department, and there are also channels for outsourcing.

The external circulation of China Heavy Industries' commodities does not prevent the establishment of its own direct sales department, whether it is its own production of goods or unified purchase of goods, the cost is lower than that of ordinary merchants.

In addition, the promotion of grain stamps itself has benefits, so the selling price of the supply and marketing cooperatives is very low, and ordinary businessmen outside cannot learn it.

But nothing stands up to the scrutiny of a wise man.

I don't know which clever person first thought of buying food stamps from the workers with coins slightly higher than the food stamps.

Then they were sold to ordinary people, who took the food stamps that had arrived and went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy goods.

The end result is a three-way profit.

The workers profited, the smart people profited, and the common people profited.

"These people corrupt the food stamp system and rely on poor information to deceive ignorant people, and they should be severely cracked down."

Cai Wen said angrily.

The food stamps themselves can be exchanged, even if they are ordinary people, they can go directly to the food stamp bank to exchange the food stamps, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy them.

But many people don't know it, giving these scammers an opportunity.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, "It's not people's fault, and what they did is not wrong, it's the grain stamp bank that is wrong." ”

Cai Wen couldn't react, and looked at the little prince in a daze.

Although he knew that the little prince's thoughts were sometimes different from mortals, this sentence made him stunned too much.

"This ...... This...... What's wrong with the food stamp bank? Cai Wen asked incoherently.

He didn't want to have a conflict with the grain stamp bank, don't spread it out in the end, it was he who sued the grain stamp bank in front of the little prince.

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Why can these "smart people" take the initiative to find so many people in need, but the food stamp bank can't find it. ”

"The difference between the food stamp bank is that the people are accustomed to coming to them, while those "smart people" can take the initiative to come to the people's homes and create the needs of the people. ”

The people who make money by poor information will also be uncountable in later generations.

For example, the credit cards that people are accustomed to have moved from big cities to smaller cities, many of which do not have online stores of commercial banks.

However, many people have this need, but they don't understand the channels to handle it, and even think it is a difficult thing.

Therefore, there are many industries that take advantage of the information gap to make money.

At the most outrageous time, I ran a Pudong Development Bank universal fund and charged more than a dozen or twenty handling fees.

Is it because they have great powers that they can get through the bank's internal credit department?

Naturally not.

They are just following the bank's process and submitting an application for those who don't know the banking process.

This is called taking advantage of the information gap to make money.

However, with the development of the Internet, the speed of information transmission has increased exponentially, resulting in a rapid shortening of the life cycle of making money by taking advantage of the information gap.

In the past, the channels that could be maintained for one or two years, or two or three years, have been shortened to half a year, or even two or three months, gradually making the channels with low thresholds unprofitable.

After listening to what the little prince said, Cai Wen seemed to think that this was indeed the case, but he felt that it was not quite right, so didn't it really mean that it was really a problem with the food stamp bank?

In Zhu Gaochi's view, this matter is different from the nature of intermediaries using information to apply for credit cards and profit from people.

Although they do the same thing, they are different.

"The common people exchange grain stamps from these people, but not from the grain stamp bank, and they still get benefits, and they get the goods they want from the supply and marketing cooperatives at cheap prices."

"And the food stamp bank needs to reflect on why the people don't exchange food stamps from them, because they have to change the way they do things, and they can't wait in the habit of waiting."

Zhu Gaochi believes that it is very difficult to change the grain stamp bank, at least in the short term.

Don't look at the strong background of the food stamp bank, those "smart people" are alone, and there are more means to deal with them.

But "smart people" are smart people.

The food stamp bank has to deal with a group of smart people, and even if the grain stamp bank learns from these people, it may not be able to beat these people at the business level.

With the speed of information dissemination in the Ming Dynasty, this will inevitably be the case in a short period of time.

There are no administrative blows.

The food stamp sellers have their own talents.

Some began to station at the gate of China Heavy Industries, brazenly buying food stamps in the hands of workers.

Some people even ascended to the sky in one step, directly attached to a commercial bank, and exchanged large grain stamps in the name of the commercial bank at the grain stamp bank.

"Dangdangdang."

The bell tower of China Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. has a distant bell, using the principle of self-striking bells invented in the Song Dynasty, and the parts and gears of the machine are complex and magical.

Zhao Hong, who is in the flow of people, tomorrow is a single day off.

"Did you hear that the headquarters is going to change the rest day?" Zhao Hong's companions are as young as him, and these second-generation workers are more active.

"What's the change?" Concerning his own interests, Zhao Hong asked curiously.

"Mainly military workers, from four days a month to eight days off, the extra four days, half a day in the morning for drills, half a day off in the afternoon."

"So good." Zhao Hong showed envy and said: "Military workers have to practice every morning, the working time is shorter than ours, the rest time is longer than ours, and the salary is also one level higher. ”

Zhao Hong couldn't help but say in the end: "Do you want us to transfer to the military as well?" ”

The companion was a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant, "I'm afraid your mother won't agree." ”

"Collect food stamps."

Passing through a shed, some people shouted vigorously in the flow of workers, without the slightest stage fright.

Zhao Hong's food stamps were naturally not given to him, he had long been accustomed to using food stamps, but not every worker could be like him.

Many workers were somewhat afraid to try new things, so they preferred to exchange food stamps and these people for money.

However, there are fewer and fewer such people, after all, no one is a fool, and they will get used to seeing more.

This is evident from the fact that there are fewer and fewer such sheds at the entrance.

"Tomorrow off, let's go to the play, I heard that there is a new play, and many people who have seen it say yes."

"What play?"

"The Spirit of the Workers."

"Okay."

Zhao Hong agreed simply, he was young and had not yet started a family, although his monthly salary would be handed over to his mother, he still kept a lot of pocket money for himself.

And his mother also works at the Grand Theater.

The Peking Grand Theater is not far from the China Heavy Factory Area, and it takes half an hour to walk, and it looks like a road of ten miles.

The two didn't take the carriage railway, so they didn't feel very cost-effective, and after watching the play, they took the railway carriage home.

On the newly built road of the engineering team, I don't know when it began, more beggars begged from the people.

"These people are really pitiful, I heard that Henan and other places were flooded and went to Beiping to survive." The companion's father was the steward of the outer cabinet and was well-informed.

"I heard that the government has a disaster relief, why are there so many victims."

Zhao Hong said curiously.

"Disaster relief is disaster relief, but these people are not stupid, and if they want to live a good life, they naturally don't want to stay there."

"They came here and wanted to enter China Heavy Industry, but now they have no chance to come in, and they have no way to make a living, so they can only beg to live."

Zhao Hong hesitated, but still gave some food stamps.

Food stamps are a good thing, and the begging victims know that this thing is better than coins, so they hurriedly take their families to bow and thank them.
