Chapter 908： Price break

Chapter 908 Price Breakthrough

After Jiang Xiaobai returned to Huaqing Building, he asked Zhao Xiaojin to deliver today's newspaper.

"By the way, go and collect newspapers from other places, especially those in Beijing and the south. You don't need today's, but the latest ones will do."

Jiang Xiaobai ordered again.

"Okay." Zhao Xiaojin responded and turned and went out. She didn't ask why. Jiang Xiaobai had the habit of reading newspapers.

The current affairs politics at this time are all hidden in the formal lines of the newspaper.

So the first thing Jiang Xiaobai does every day in Huaqing Building is to read the newspaper.

Rising prices are all too normal if they are placed in later generations. It is strange that prices do not rise, but in this era, it is very subtle.

Maybe something big in history is about to happen.

I have not experienced this era in my previous life, and I have learned some things from books and the Internet, and there may be missing.

may not remember clearly, but now that the rebirth is in this era, we must figure it out, otherwise I feel uneasy.

Soon, Zhao Xiaojin came in with a pile of newspapers.

"Jiang Dong, here are the newspapers from Beijing and Modu, and the other newspapers are below." Zhao Xiaojin put a pile of newspapers on the table.

Jiang Xiaobai raised his head and said: "Okay, go out and find out how much the price of our Dragon City has increased compared with the end of last year, mainly the price of vegetables and various necessities of life."

"Huh?" Zhao Xiaojin was taken aback, a little strange, and understood what this was doing.

"Go, you can take two more people to help, to make things clear." Although Jiang Xiaobai heard that the man at the door of the supply and marketing agency said that the prices of various daily necessities had risen, he did not know how much it had risen. .

He wanted to gather more information to determine what happened.

"Okay," Zhao Xiaojin turned around and went out, still holding a notebook and pen in hand.

Jiang Xiaobai leaned on the table and read the newspapers.

Dragon City’s Metropolis Daily also reported some news about price increases, but the tofu chunks were a little bigger, and the specific reasons were not clearly stated.

Not in some other newspapers, Jiang Xiaobai opened some newspapers in Beijing.

Similarly, news of rising prices was found between the lines.

However, it is obvious that it has not attracted people's attention. It should be said that this kind of price increase has not affected the lives of everyone, and the price increase is still within the controllable range.

Jiang Xiaobai opened some newspapers in the magic city again. This time Jiang Xiaobai's eyes condensed and he saw some news.

On the Modu newspaper some time ago, Modu adjusted the retail prices of 280 types of goods, and the newspaper listed some products.

Undoubtedly, most of these commodities are small commodities or daily necessities, and the price increase is between 20% and 30%.

Jiang Xiaobai flipped through the newspaper again and continued to organize his thoughts.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xiaojin reported on the situation that a large part of the daily necessities of Helongcheng had increased in price, but the rate was not large, remaining between 10% and 15%.

But Jiang Xiaobai still has no brows. Why did he suddenly increase the price of some daily necessities.

Making a cup of tea, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes condensed when he inadvertently scanned one of the messy newspapers on the table.

The five **** characters in the newspaper attracted Jiang Xiaobai’s attention to the "dual price system".

This is a southern newspaper, which reported an incident in Jinling.

Because of the dual-track price system, many units and state-owned organizations have devoted themselves to buying and reselling materials, using the dual-track price system to make profits.

There are 1,000 tons of steel in Jinling. It has been speculated 129 times and the price has risen nearly three times. There are 83 departments involved in this incident.

There is a folk saying below: “One billion people fall down to 900 million, and there are 100 million people looking for it.”

Looking at this report, Jiang Xiaobai’s brain seemed to flash across a flash of lightning, and he remembered.

I remembered the reason for the current price increase.

It happened in 1988. It is something that has a deep memory for people all over the country, not only for ordinary people, but for some enterprises, it has a greater impact.

That is "price breakthrough", if you want to say "price breakthrough", you have to start with the dual price system in the past few years.

Simply put, it means that the same commodity has two different prices at the same time in one place.

For example, if there are two different traffic rules on the road at the same time, you can imagine the chaos on the road.

The same is true of the dual price system, which was originally designed to protect state-owned enterprises, but now, in 1988, the drawbacks of the dual price system have emerged.

Incidentally, the prices of the means of production are increased indiscriminately, and the charges are arbitrary. Of course, this situation does not happen in a day.

For the same commodity, in the same city, it may cost three yuan for the east side and one yuan for the west side.

By 1988, it had reached the point where it had to be resolved.

The news about Jinling Steel in the newspaper that Jiang Xiaobai read is just one of the typical cases. There are countless chaotic images like this.

So the price is dual-track system, it needs to be combined and improve the supply.

And this is the root of the "price breakthrough", and the first impact brought about by the price breakthrough is the price increase.

Thinking about the "price breakthrough" and then the "rush to purchase storm" behind him, Jiang Xiaobai frowned.

This time the failure of price breakthroughs has brought more than just the unsalable effects of light commodities, and many policies will change.

1989, it was another cold winter for townships and private enterprises.

But this is the last time, it’s good to survive.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Jiang Xiaobai probably cleaned up the newspapers on the table and got up and went home.

In the evening, I talked to Zhao Xinyi about rising prices. The specific reasons involved some national policies. Zhao Xinyi said that Zhao Xinyi didn’t know much.

However, I told Zhao Xinyi that I estimated that prices might rise, and I still stock up on the necessities of life while there is no price increase.

Zhao Xinyi nodded and said, "Okay, I will give Xiao Cai the money and let her sell it."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiaobai is actually not afraid of price increases, but also afraid of panic buying caused by price breakthroughs.

However, there is no way to talk to Zhao Xinyi about this kind of unserved prophet, and can only hoard something for the family for fear of rising prices.

But not only at home, but Huaqing Holdings must also actively respond to the possible impact of this price breakthrough, Jiang Xiaobai secretly thought.

After arriving at Huaqing Building early the next morning, Jiang Xiaobai called Shi Sheng to the office.
