Questions about the improvement of urban pricing power
8:04

The entire congress hall was silent, everyone lowered their heads and looked at the first issue on the light and shadow screen in front of them. It was proposed by the eight major associations. There are problems and loopholes in the current pricing power, and specific improvement is needed. The problem.

In the middle, there is a round table, and the six gods sit on chairs corresponding to their respective colors in 3D figures of their respective colors.

Only one blue chair was empty, and many people didn't quite understand what it meant. Although they had guessed, no one cared about such a problem, and just looked at the first proposal very intently.

The entire congress hall was like a battlefield that was about to start a war, and there was a sense of heavy oppression in the air.

squeak
The door behind the administrative department opened, and Ye Chunwang and Hawk walked in. Everyone looked at the past for a while, and the two general affairs staff who opened the door quickly closed the door again. Hawke, Ye Chunwang and the administrative department After nodding, he sat in the last row behind the administrative departments.

The gods gave everyone 20 minutes of reading time and thinking time, and a full-scale discussion on this topic will officially begin later.

Many people seemed a little nervous, because they didn't expect that this issue of pricing power would be difficult to reach a consensus until tomorrow morning.

Discussions on the bill are all arranged by the gods, and this is also the most concerned issue of businessmen and families.

Because of the problem of pricing power, many people have suffered from this in the past. The pricing power of Section 9 made most businessmen start to be timid, and thus missed some opportunities. Many businessmen have already protested.

Such a system will hinder the city's economy, and if the merchants cannot let go, the city's economy will even stagnate.

Alpha and the other section chiefs who went out in the morning came back half an hour ago, and Alpha seemed to be normal.

Clark stared at Wu Qun and the others on the opposite side. They came to talk about pricing power at the beginning, and it seemed that they were intentional rather than unintentional.

Just 8:11

There are still 9 minutes to start the formal discussion, but at this time everyone's minds are clear, and the section chiefs who came in later also learned from Locke that the congressmen had mentioned the pricing power.

Everyone is not an idiot, and they know what Freya and the others mean. Locke is sitting in the seat closest to the gods, and he is in charge of presiding over the meeting.

It's just that the people present were a little confused, because they didn't see Jean, the section chief of Section 13, and Section 13 abstained from voting.

Many people are already waiting for the end of the time, and everyone is looking forward to the start of the topic, especially the businessmen. This is an issue that concerns their lives. Many businessmen have already applied for the right to speak and will participate in the discussion of the topic. , let the merchants speak if necessary.

The atmosphere in the entire hall became more and more heavy with the passage of time, and the relaxation that had just appeared briefly because of the arrival of Hawke and Ye Chunwang had disappeared.

Hawke and Ye Chunwang have already read the document, but they both feel a little strange, because the current pricing power has been written into the law, and it is also supported by the eight major associations. Merchants do not have independent commodity pricing power.

But now that this issue is being discussed on the table, it always feels a little confusing. Just as Ye Chunwang was thinking about it, Hawke laughed, as if he had already understood.

"It's going to be a big show at first!"

As Hawk said, Ye Chunwang suddenly came to his senses, nodded and leaned back comfortably.

"It's time to start!"

Following the speech of the red god, the purple god next to him pointed to the councilor faction.

"Wu Qun, it's up to you to explain in detail."

Wu Qun stood up, with a smile on his serious face, and he bowed first.

"First of all, on behalf of all the councilors, I would like to thank the six gods, as well as your Excellencies in the administrative department opposite, for giving us the opportunity to enter here!"

After Wu Qun bowed, he put away the smile on his face.

"It has been more than 50 years since the city was established! The people present here, as well as those who participated in the important construction of the city in the past, constitute the main body of the city!"

Wu Qun walked out of his seat slowly and stepped onto a platform. As the platform rose slowly, Wu Qun stood on the platform more than 2 meters high, and pressed his hands casually in front of the table.

"In the past, our urban structure was very simple. Perhaps it could not be called a city, but a cluster of human beings. Chaos and chaos are the true portrayal of this city in the past few decades. Here I want to ask a question! "

He raised his right hand, and stretched out his index finger from his clenched right hand.

"Are we serving the city, or should the city serve us? I hope everyone can consider this issue."

Freya behind Wu Qun smiled and nodded, and everyone was listening carefully.

"The economy, as the core part of the city's main body, determines all the incentives, and the pricing power directly determines the economic circulation speed and circulation quality!"

Hu Youran in the auditorium looked at Wu Qun in surprise. He didn't use some complicated examples to explain, but pointed to the core points. Sure enough, this guy is really powerful.

"Nowadays, because of the Angus family's construction problems, the city's economic problems have become riddled with holes and all kinds of chaos, making the management of the city difficult and complicated, but the pricing power If it is handed over to the market, there will definitely be price chaos, speculation, resource monopoly and other problems!"

As soon as Wu Qun finished speaking, all the people in the merchant auditorium and family auditorium looked at Wu Qun, and many people looked at Wu Qun angrily.

"So the pricing power is nationalized, and I think there is no problem."

As soon as Wu Qun's voice fell, some businessmen couldn't sit still. Many people felt threatened. They had contacted Wu Qun many times before, and hoped that they could speak with one voice on the issue of pricing power. At least it can let the administrative department relax the control of pricing power, so that everyone can relax, but now Wu Qun's speech has angered many people.

"Of course! I have raised the issue of the speed and quality of economic flows before, and now I would like to ask everyone to look at a typical example."

Speaking of which, Wu Qun called out a light and shadow screen, and quickly called out the documents that had been prepared in the proposal.

On the light and shadow screen is a map of the economic structure changes of a chain restaurant in the past ten years. The economic structure changes three years ago had a steady ups and downs, but in the last three years, the turnover of this chain restaurant has declined a lot, and There have been sudden dips to the bottom.

"The part that fell to the bottom was that the restaurant couldn't bear the original size. Before the pricing power was returned to Congress, the store had independent pricing power, but after the pricing power was returned to Congress , The turnover of the store began to decline, and the stable tax that the chain store could provide every year has now been reduced by more than 35% compared with before.”

"The reason!"

The cyan god spoke, and a high-pitched and serious female voice sounded, and Wu Qun bowed.

"The reason lies in the service fee. As I said before, the sudden nationalization of pricing power has disrupted the normal flow of the market economy, and the final price of the item prices obtained by some merchants is lower than in the past. After the profit decreases, It was difficult to support the huge volume in the past, which eventually led to the restaurant chain only being able to sell some of its restaurants to ensure that the restaurants in the places with the largest traffic can continue to make profits."

Wu Qun's voice became a little deeper.

"Because of the low profit, the chain restaurants that relied on self-adjusted pricing to support the corresponding economic volume in the past could only charge customers a service fee, but not every customer can understand and accept it. This chain restaurant His boss was there, and I thought it might be more straightforward to ask him to speak."

A half-bald middle-aged man who had obtained permission to speak stood up and kept saying words of thanks.

"Our company has not had a good time in recent years. Before the prices of our chain restaurants were much higher than the prices given by Congress, but then we charged service fees to make up for losses, but many customers hated our practice. Many stores The business has started to slow down, because our store’s service quality, decoration, and the freshness of the dishes are better than those of the same type of stores in the area, so our dishes cannot be priced at the same price as theirs, so we have no choice Maintain everything in the store, and even the treatment of employees will be reduced! In the past few years, there have been some disputes between employees and customers in our store. Their salary has been reduced by half compared with the past, but they still have to serve as before, so some Staff are not in a good mood.”

The middle-aged man said, all the problems were clear, and only then were the merchants and families heaved a sigh of relief.

"Let me just say something first."

Brandon, the chief of the Ninth Business Section, stood up, staring sharply at Wu Qun opposite him, jumped out of his seat, and walked to the table next to Luo Jiahui.

"I personally understand what happened to this businessman friend just now! But."

Brandon changed his previous weak style, and his voice became tougher.

"When someone makes money, someone loses money. Many people are patient. It's not just this businessman friend who is having a hard time, but there are also people who have made money under this pricing system. Representative Wu Qun, please don't give some examples of failure. , I also hope that you can come up with some successful examples. The implementation of a system is inherently accompanied by failure and success. If it is only one-sided, it may be difficult to explain the two core and essential issues you raised!"

Wu Qun nodded with a smile. At this time, the happy businessmen all looked at Wu Qun eagerly, hoping that Wu Qun could quickly come up with something more powerful to refute the action department on the opposite side.

Wu Qun nodded, and brought up another case. It was a chain of small food supermarkets. In the past 10 years, before the pricing power was nationalized, the turnover did not fluctuate much. After returning, the turnover of this small supermarket chain began to rise in a straight line.

But the example Wu Qun gave makes everyone worry, because it is indeed as Brandon said, some people made money because of the pricing, and some people lost money because of the pricing problem. During this period, it has a lot to do with increasing the size of the economy after making a profit. Some people operate very cautiously and always take one step at a time, but some people take bigger steps.

"Rep. Wu Qun, the examples you gave don't seem to have much to do with the two core issues you raised, the speed and quality of economic flows!"

Wu Qun smiled and nodded. Many people were sweating at Wu Qun, but at this time Wu Qun raised his right hand again and stretched out his index finger.

"Do you remember the question I asked at the beginning?"

At this time, everyone is thinking, and they all know that the two examples Wu Qun cited are not enough to hold a firm foothold, because the former is because of its relatively large size, and it is difficult to support the huge size after pricing. There are losses, the latter is because the volume itself is relatively small. After the pricing, the business has improved, and the volume of the economy has increased, but in fact its own physical volume is still the same as before.

The problem seems to have returned to the original point, but at this time Brandon realized that Wu Qun had dug a hole for himself from the very beginning, and he jumped in foolishly. thing.

Whether the city serves the people, or the people serve the city, everyone wants to understand the key point of Wu Qun's pun.

"Whether it is a city built by people or the people living in the city, everyone's relationship is mutual! The flow of the economy is the eternal core. Because of the flow of the economy, the city can develop, people can live, and everything is in harmony. It is working, and pricing power can be regarded as a suppressor, which suppresses all aspects of the city, but also hinders all aspects of people."

Wu Qun relaxed his expression, and opened his hands slightly to the sides of the table.

"I'm not saying that the pricing power should be set by the merchants according to the market rules as in the past, but I want to explain a problem that pricing is related to everything in the city and people. The current pricing power is too mechanized. It is not humane, because each industry is different, and it is obviously not acceptable to use only 150% of the upper limit as a measurement standard. Such a standard will only cause problems in the balance of supply and demand, and it will always be maintained at a constant value. Time After a long time, the balance of supply and demand is no longer the balance of supply and demand, but the balance of customization! You should understand what I mean.”

Wu Qun raised his voice and continued.

"If an industry is timidly maintained at a constant value for a long time, a factory needs 100 workers, and the things produced by 100 workers, no matter how the efficiency changes, will still be produced by 100 workers, because everyone I am worried that next year's pricing will make me lose everything, so it is impossible to continue to increase the volume, but as you all know, the current population in the city continues to grow, unemployment is still a problem, and the factory cannot increase the number of workers , an industry is bound to maintain a constant value, how to continue the development? How to create more jobs, how to increase the demand? This is the status quo of the city in the past three years after the pricing power was brought back to Congress. shutdown and the Great Depression.”

As soon as Wu Qun finished speaking, the merchants, family members, and congressmen burst into warm applause.

Brandon took a deep breath, but he didn't speak. Wu Qun continued after the applause stopped.

"Needs need to be created, and to create demand is to allow the industry to have a point of sustainable growth, rather than to regulate through the inhibitor of pricing power and force supply and demand to reach a theoretical balance. If the market economy If it’s just a theory, there wouldn’t be so many people unemployed, not so many people living a day-to-day life, and not so many businessmen shrinking, and every new year seems to be facing a trial.”

At this moment Brand said with a smile.

"Then according to Mr. Wu Qun, you mean to return the pricing power to the merchants?"

After the tentative inquiry, the merchants and family members immediately showed joy, but as Wu Qun shook his head, everyone's faces were full of doubts again.

"Pricing power should be specified in detail, or industrialized. We can't use the calculated value fed back from such rigid data to determine pricing power. Instead, we should measure pricing power based on the future development trend of each industry. We must It is necessary to consider the sustainable growth of the industry in the next 10 or even 20 years. This is the purpose of our proposal to revise the pricing power this time. The economy should move slowly like a steady stream in order to be able to feed most people in the city. Let everyone be the beneficiary, instead of someone failing and someone succeeding! It should be relative success, and relative failure, comparing success and failure, making more profit compared with those who make more profits, and having a certain loss compared with those who make less profits , This is the final conclusion of supply and demand!"

Brandon looked at Wu Qun without saying a word. He knew that there was no chance to refute now. The current pricing control is indeed carried out by relying on data. The result is exactly as Wu Qun said, the industry has started Stagnant, everyone is afraid of pricing power, many small and medium businessmen are reducing their capital, and only invest capital in the part that can make stable profits.

Although there are still some people persisting in some industries that cannot make stable profits, the continuous decline of these industries is unacceptable to many people.

Industries that cannot make a profit will naturally be kicked out. Naturally, there will be no way to recruit more workers, and naturally there will not be much output. This will eventually lead to the shrinking of the market, and the shrinking of the market will lead to a decline in demand. Businessmen Naturally, they will not try their best to create demand for the commodities that they reject, and the people will naturally not pay for them.

"Do you have anything else to say, Brandon."

The Orange God asked, and Brand shook his head and bowed. He wanted to wait for the Angus family to stabilize before making adjustments to the issue of pricing power, but now it seems that he can't hold on. Yes, Wu Qun has explained everything very clearly.

"Anyone else want to speak?"

The businessmen looked at Wu Qun excitedly, waiting for the voting to begin.

Soon the first bill was won by overwhelming votes from the council members. Although there were quite a few abstentions, overall the first bill came to a successful conclusion.

The issue of pricing power will be handed over to the parliamentarians and Section 9 for joint and specific discussions to improve the current somewhat rigid pricing power issue.

"Okay everyone, you can start looking at the next topic!"

Concrete Amendments to the Trinity Law and Exercising the Legitimate Rights of the Administrative Section

For a moment, Peristan and Xingyuan in the celebrity auditorium looked at the proposal in front of them in surprise. The person who proposed it was Alpha Angus.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Alpha, and this question finally came, and everyone immediately thought of the Hydera case in the past.

This case has now become a textbook-level case, engraved in history, and there is no conclusion at all.

But it is obvious that the proposal proposed by Alpha this time is to improve some things in the Trinity Law, and pull Hydera up from this quagmire from the side.

At this time, the crowd began to commotion. Everyone looked at the details of the proposal submitted by Alpha, and felt that something was wrong, because one of them, all staff in the administrative department was equipped with weapons, which made many people feel uneasy.

Freya carefully looked at everything Alpha proposed, and always felt that if this breakthrough was opened, legal gun control would usher in a new round of high-pressure control in the city.

The current strength is enough, and Freya feels that there is really no need to be so tough.

It's just that in the last riot, it was a fact that a large number of administrative officers died, and the riot of that scale was finally resolved by shooting and killing, including the previous criminals fleeing the city collectively. Similarly, when the criminals fled the city that time, the number of dead and injured members of the administrative department was more.

There are still many disabled people in that incident, because they had no weapons at that time, only conventional suppression and dispersal weapons such as stun guns and tear gas bombs, while the perpetrators directly took out heavy fire weapons.

Fortunately, Alpha applied for the lifting of the ban in time, and the people in the administrative department took up arms to fight back, but in the end, more than 1000 people were killed and more than 3000 people were injured to varying degrees.

In recent years, there have also been cases of some officers of the administrative department dying when they stopped crimes, and some were even beaten to death.

Obviously, stun guns, tear gas, and handcuffs are not enough to solve all problems. Many people are afraid of entering Section 5 because they are afraid of getting hurt during the process of stopping them when there is chaos.

Many people were silent, looking at these bloody factual reports submitted by Alpha, but in the supervision of the use of weapons, it is another problem. How can we judge the situation? This was the case with Hydera back then, and the trigger was pulled. In the end, the situation became extremely chaotic.

At this time, everyone was thinking about the same issues, and they were all thinking about the Hydera case, the Trinity Law that has been extended to the present, and the adjustments and changes made between the two.

On the brightly lit street, Tamai is still patrolling. He presses the brim of his hat and walks on the street. When he occasionally sees chaos, he immediately goes over to stop it.

Nowadays, the streets in the south are full of drunks, and they will gather at night. If they are not controlled in time, problems may arise.

Tamai glanced at the dazzling congress hall, and he sincerely hoped that Peristan could properly raise the issue of the Hydra case. It has been 15 years, and no one cares about this poor soul, what is in prison The same, but repeatedly arguing about right and wrong.

It's just that Hydera seems to have figured it out recently. Tamai has visited him several times this year, and the two of them chatted very happily every time they went.

Tamai is glad that Hydera has become more cheerful and is willing to meet them. Next year, Tamai will leave this street and go to the bottom.

After meeting a colleague across the street, Tamai greeted him with a nod and the two headed off in different directions down the street.

Today is an extremely important day. All 5 officers in each district are patrolling, and there must be someone patrolling the streets 24 hours a day.

Tamai continued to walk on the street. At this time, she looked into an alley, where several women were talking to some men, and he immediately walked in quickly.

"Several ladies and gentlemen, please show your identification."

Several people suddenly came to their senses, and their expressions became flustered. After seeing the identity certificates of several people, Tamai found that none of them were from this district, and judging from their appearance, all Tamai could think of was illegal body trading .

"My lord, let's go now."

Several men said that they planned to leave, and the women also said that they would go home to watch the show. Tamai didn't stop them, and they left quickly.

There was a sound of dragging objects, and Tamai looked over. A pale girl came out of the corridor dragging a big suitcase, and the landlord chased her out.

"It's okay to leave tomorrow."

The girl shook her head, indicating that she was leaving tonight, but the landlord began to be relentless and pestered the girl.

Tamai couldn't see it anymore, and walked over quickly.

"Sir, ma'am, is there any question?"

Tamai looked at this unusually beautiful girl. The girl lowered her head. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, but the landlord turned around and was about to leave.

"Sir, please show your ID card. Now I suspect that you may have treated this young lady violently."

The landlord immediately panicked and shook his head hastily. Tamai saw that the bag on the girl's arm was broken, and he directly took the girl's hand. The girl struggled, looking as if she wanted to escape. But Tamai stopped him and called the nearby 5th section staff directly. The landlord felt that something was wrong, so he hurried over to try to give Tamay some money, but was rejected Tamai directly twisted his hands and handcuffed them directly.

"Sir, now you have one more crime, bribery."

Tamai looked at this beautiful young girl named Baleka, who was still begging.

"Brother, can you let me go, I'm really fine, the injury here is..."

Tamai walked over directly, opened the back collar of Baleka, and saw the obvious scars underneath.

"Please explain how these scars came about, Miss Barek."

Baleka shook his head, squatted next to the big box, lowered his head, and looked unwilling to say anything. Soon, more than 20 staff members from Section 5 had arrived, and two female staff members brought Baleka into the room. House, intending to ask in detail, Tamai looked at the landlord in the corner.

"Sir, if you still want to hide something, we will resist arresting you first."

The landlord still shook his head, not planning to say anything.
