Return To 1977 Chapter 211: Meeting
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
A few days later, the "meeting meeting" before the departure of the "Hai Bangzi" was once again held at the house of "Old Saury".
This time is different from the past. Everyone knew about the price reduction of sea cucumbers in Bincheng, so they all seemed a little worried. All of them really had headaches as if they had been hit on the head.
It is not difficult to understand their reaction, because in the planned economy of that year, official commodity prices rarely changed significantly. Once it changes, it will basically be a long-term matter.
To be honest, the price of sea cucumbers in Bincheng has been maintained for more than ten years. It is entirely conceivable how large the impact of this sudden price change will be on society.
Taking a step back, at least in the minds of Bincheng people, sea cucumbers will definitely remain at a lower price for several years than before.
So for these "sea bumpers" who rely on selling sea cucumbers to make a living, the reduction in income is everyone's consensus about the future. Who can feel relaxed?
It should be said that Hong Yanwu had already anticipated everyone's panic and low mood.
So after meeting everyone, he didn't waste a moment and hurriedly took out real money and paid everyone the sea cucumber money.
The acquisition of sea cucumbers is like this.
Because "Sanjizi", "Xiapaizi" and "Xiaobaizi" rushed to various places to notify them at the first time, the "Haichangzi" stopped their actions in time to a certain extent and did not appear again. The last time I let go, I easily harvested five to six hundred kilograms of sea cucumbers. But the sea cucumbers that have been harvested are not too small. The total amount of sea cucumbers in the city and outside the city is more than 200 kilograms.
In addition, the transaction price of other "Haibengzi" in the market has dropped quite hard in the past few days. It has dropped by two yuan, and it has reached about nine yuan per pound. Therefore, the person who harvested the most sea cucumbers this time could not help but feel a little ashamed.
Like "Old Saury" and "Sanjianzi", they each collected about fifty kilograms. At this time, they all proposed that they would just pay the original price of their acquisition cost, even if it was nine yuan per catty, so as not to cause losses to everyone's public accounts because of themselves.
But they never expected that Hong Yanwu would say that the price reduction was purely accidental. It was not everyone's fault and there was no reason for individuals to suffer losses. So in the end, I still insisted on accepting the sea cucumbers from everyone at the originally agreed price.
In this way, after getting the real tickets, the "Hai Bangzi" immediately felt a lot more at ease, and everyone was grateful for Hong Yanwu's consideration.
At this point, Hong Yanwu's original intention of stabilizing the morale of the army has been initially achieved.
But that's not all. In order to further eliminate everyone's worries, Hong Yanwu then reported the public account to everyone.
When I heard the figures from the public accounts, I actually had 15,000 yuan in cash and 2,400 kilograms of sea cucumbers. The "sea bumpers" immediately became excited.
They immediately realized that they had actually become real rich people long ago. So why are you so afraid?
Everyone was beaming, and even "Sanjizi" suggested, "Why don't we all just divide the money, and sell the sea cucumbers as soon as possible, and sell them out. From now on, it has nothing to do with everyone whether he likes it or not." ”
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu resolutely rejected this suggestion on the spot that attracted everyone's interest without even thinking about it.
His answer was one sentence.
"Are you okay? Think about it carefully. No matter how low the price is, we can still make some money by selling sea cucumbers the old way! We will never get to the point where we sell sea cucumbers for only nine yuan! It is definitely a profitable business. Don’t do it anymore?”
Don’t say it, it’s true!
The "sea bumpers" suddenly woke up.
Hey, everyone was confused as soon as they heard about the price reduction.
Everyone is only worried about the loss of income. What they are thinking about all day long is how good it would be if the price of sea cucumbers were reduced, and they are discussing when the public price will return to the previous level. However, they have forgotten that the way they make money is no longer the old way.
Since the emergence of Hong Yanwu, the God of Wealth, the price of their sea cucumbers has been several times higher than that of other "sea cucumbers". Although the price may be lower in the future, as long as the price sold in the guest house is the same as in the store, it is still much better than they were before and compared to other "sea bumpers", and it will not hurt your muscles and bones at all.
What's more, the price of sea cucumbers is even lower. Since they have a way to increase the price for takeout, they can still make a profit!
Then...the past few days...it turns out it's all been a waste of worry!
Thinking about it, there were several people on the spot who felt ashamed of themselves for being unable to calm down.
Especially the "Sanjizi" who just proposed to break up the group felt that they were stupid. His face was as red as a cooked crab, and he was laughing endlessly.
But what is even more unexpected is that just when the "Hai Bangzi" collective breathed a sigh of relief and thought they had figured it out, Hong Yanwu made another surprising move.
He actually said that in his opinion, the price reduction of sea cucumbers is not only far from a bad thing, it is even a great good thing!
This immediately plunged everyone into deeper doubts. Many people couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
To be honest, although Hong Yanwu has always shown a calm mind and extraordinary insight, these words are too shocking, and everyone can't help but wonder whether Hong Yanwu suddenly had a short-circuit in his brain. It's just because of human feelings that everyone is embarrassed to say it.
Of course, Hong Yanwu’s ability to make such a judgment is not based on empty words, but is based on facts. Therefore, in line with the principle that if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, and he quickly explained the results of the investigation over the past few days to everyone.
Everyone present knows that "General" is a member of the "Crane Club". "Crane Club" was the most important part of urban logistics and transportation back then.
If the aquatic products company increases the supply of marine products, the task of transporting large quantities of goods from outside the city into the city will of course be handled by the car fleet, but the task of distributing aquatic products from the warehouses in the city to various aquatic products stores has always been handed over to each urban area. The "hoisting club", which mainly operates tricycles, is responsible.
Therefore, under the arrangement of Hong Yanwu, the "general" returned to the "Crane Club" to inquire about transportation information from the leaders and colleagues, and even went to the "Crane Club" in other urban areas to verify it again. .
According to the feedback, there is currently no significant increase in the transportation tasks of aquatic products companies undertaken by various "crane companies", and no one feels that there has been a significant increase in goods such as sea cucumbers.
That's great. Based on the information obtained, Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and "General" then conducted further investigation.
They split up and went to several aquatic product company warehouses in the city, where they smoked and drank with the janitors and warehouse managers to make friends.
They summarized the information they received from these people and found that not only did the stock of sea cucumbers in aquatic products companies not increase significantly, but they also decreased rapidly due to price reduction sales in a few days.
In particular, an elderly warehouse manager made an estimate based on his experience, saying that if things continue like this, without replenishment, the inventory in several warehouses will bottom out before autumn.
This shows that from the perspective of goods supply, this price reduction is completely unreasonable.
That’s really strange. Since there is no additional supply of sea cucumbers, how can the aquatic product company lower its prices?
In the end, it was Han Ying who finally solved this problem.
As mentioned before, Han Ying Middle School went to a key school, and her classmates were all top students, including many children of cadres. Although some of these people were unlucky due to the collapse of their parents, some are still on stage, and some have recently resumed work.
Of course, it is not that easy to ask for services based solely on the relationship between classmates. But it is not difficult to get some information from them.
Hong Yanwu knew the nature of the children of cadres, so he provided money and ideas, and asked Han Ying to come forward to organize a "class reunion dinner." She called all the classmates who were doing well together in a restaurant outside and had a free meal.
As a result, this move not only made Han Ying popular and a little limelight, but she also found out the specific situation.
Qingqing Han Ying has a female classmate whose husband works in the supply and marketing department of a fishery company, and the mother of another male classmate is the manager of a marketing point of the fishery company.
After Han Ying finished ordering food at the restaurant, she deliberately pretended to be curious and talked about the price reduction of sea cucumbers.
Then the two classmates showed off to each other and showed off how well-informed they were, thus leaking the true story.
According to them, it all started because the aquatic products company appointed a new deputy general manager named Zhou. That was an old cadre who was knocked down a few years ago, but now he has been reactivated.
This old man is very old-fashioned and has a very good reputation. On the one hand, he talks about "Marxism-Leninism", and on the other hand, he talks about "thinking about the people" and "the price of seafood must be popularized."
So the first of the three things he wanted to burn when he took office was to target the high price of sea cucumbers.
Of course Vice President Zhou is not stupid. Reducing the price of goods is just an administrative order, but replenishing supply must also be arranged in advance. What he relies on is that after the "movement" ended, Bincheng's fishery production recovered to a certain extent.
Currently, in the breeding farms designated by the state, professional fishing teams wearing diving suits work overtime every day. In the ocean, the fishing brigades of various fishing villages are also competing with each other to catch up and refresh past results. In addition, according to industry estimates, by the fall of this year, the supply of various types of seafood should at least double compared to previous years.
Thus, the results of these surveys of subordinate units gave Vice President Zhou the confidence to make the decision to reduce the price of sea cucumbers.
There is even reliable news claiming that as long as the response to the sea cucumber price reduction is good, Vice President Zhou is ready to launch follow-up policies. Not only did he intend to lower the price of sea cucumbers for a second time, he would even extend this price reduction method to the two equally high-priced seafood delicacies "prawns" and "scallops".
In fact, a normal person can figure out Vice President Zhou’s thoughts with just a little thought.
It’s just that he thinks that the stock of sea cucumbers can be maintained until autumn. When the sea cucumber fishing season comes, it will not be a problem to replenish the old stocks with new ones.
The common people celebrated the National Day, organized weddings, and had low-priced sea cucumbers supplied in advance. This not only benefited his official reputation, but also benefited the people in a real way. At the same time, it also achieved the goal of prospering the market. Effect.
Isn’t this killing three birds with one stone? What a good thing!
Hong Yanwu quickly finished introducing these basic situations. His original purpose was to explain clearly to everyone the origin of this price reduction and the actual situation facing the market.
But when he said this, many "Hai Bangzi" became even more confused. They all thought that judging from this situation, this was obviously a bad thing! How come it's a good thing?
Second price reduction? Then the price of sea cucumbers must not become the price of eggplants? Even if Hong Yanwu can still sell it for the price of the store, he will still suffer a loss!
Not to mention other "sea bumpers". If this is the case, then I'm afraid a large number of people will not go to the sea again. It's not worth it!
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu laughed and said, "It's just because of this that it's a good thing. You have to listen to what I say slowly."
Then, he confidently gave everyone a more in-depth analysis.
