People in the Republic of China start from building a top power

After leaving this shop, the man visited several other shops and found that the prices of the goods in their shops were also ridiculously high. The price of each item was two to three times higher than half a month ago!

But the food needs to be eaten and the clothes to be worn. In desperation, the man still bought some daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt.

During this process, the man tried his best to shop around, even for things like oil and salt, he tried his best to choose the lower quality ones, not for anything else, just because the price could be a little cheaper.

Even so, the trip still cost him about ten days' salary.

In normal times, these things would only cost him two or three days' wages.

Chapter 749: Importance of Tariff Barriers

Back home, the man carefully packed these things one by one, then sat down on the chair and wiped his face with his hands.

After this shopping trip today, the man only felt pain in his heart and mouth.

Now that the prices of everything are rising rapidly, his salary has been stagnant, and if it continues like this, he can't even support himself.

The man, however, was doing well.

Not long after he started working, his parents are in good health, and he doesn't need to take care of him too much, and he doesn't have a wife and children to support, so he doesn't feel too much pressure.

Those island people who have already married and their parents are elderly will be miserable.

In the current situation, it is no exaggeration to say that within two months, they will have to go down the road of family ruin!

In the island country, there have been complaints from many places.

Rapidly rising prices have begun to threaten the daily lives of ordinary people.

People in many places even desperately demanded an explanation from the local government. If this continues, they will be doomed!

The market turmoil in the island country 09 swept across the country like a storm. In response to this incident, the island government acted quickly. The high-level government called on major officials to hold major meetings to discuss the current market situation.

This meeting is related to the stability of the entire country, and the cabinet leader Saito and the Minister of Finance Takahashi also participated in it.

At the meeting, Saito first raised the issue at hand.

"Dear colleagues, prices are soaring across the country, the market is turbulent, the people are complaining, and unreasonable prices have threatened the basic life of the people of the empire.

We need to come up with a solution as soon as possible to stabilize the market, otherwise the entire empire may fall into turmoil. "

After Saito finished speaking, he began to scan the audience.

The meaning is obvious, let everyone here work together to come up with a solution.

Everyone heard the words and thought hard, but they couldn't figure it out.

The reason for the current price rise is insufficient supply. If this problem is not solved, the price rise cannot be stopped.

But the light industry capacity has been destroyed, where can they find enough supplies?

At this time, an official said: "Your Excellency Saito, I think the root cause of today's market turmoil is the explosion in the Fukuyama Industrial Park that destroyed domestic light industry productivity.

Insufficient supply in various places will cause prices to rise rapidly, so as long as we solve the supply problem, prices will naturally return to normal levels..."

At the end of the official's speech, his voice couldn't help but grow softer.

Because he suddenly found that everyone in the meeting was staring at him, and their expressions were a little stiff.

nonsense!

They all know this question.

But the recovery of light industrial factories is not something that can be done just by talking about it.

Although compared with heavy industry, the time required from construction to output of light industry factories is very short, and if all goes well, formal production can be realized within one or two months.

However, it was not one or two factories that were destroyed this time, but hundreds of thousands!

These factories accounted for half of the total number of light industry factories in the empire, and it would take longer to fully recover.

And during this time, what should the people of the empire do?

You must know that the people below are already facing a situation where life is becoming a problem. If they are asked to wait a few more months, this is simply forcing them to rebel!

The meeting fell into a brief silence after the official shut up.

Seeing this, Saito was a little dissatisfied.

A group of high-level empires gathered here, is there no solution?

Just when he was about to ask, an official gave a slight signal, and then said: "Right now we cannot immediately restore domestic light industry productivity, and we cannot solve the supply problem internally.

Therefore, in order to meet the supply, we can only find ways from the outside.

I think we should open up tariff barriers, import foreign industrial products to meet market demand, and keep prices down. "

After the official finished speaking, many people present nodded slightly.

Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the best solution.

But Takahashi objected.

"No, tariff barriers must not be easily opened!"

Takahashi's tone was very firm, and Saito looked at him: "Takahashi-san, tell me your opinion."

Takahashi explained: "Now that the empire's light industry capacity has been lost by half, it means that half of our market has been vacant.

If tariff barriers are opened at this time and foreign industrial products are introduced, it is equivalent to allowing them to occupy this half of the market.

In this way, even if the productivity of the empire's light industry recovers, this half of the market cannot be regained, and the imperial market will become the world of outsiders. "

The reason why Takahashi said this is because of the island country itself.

Unlike China, the United States and other countries, their country is an island country with a lack of domestic resources, and many resources rely on imports.

This has led to a shortage of various resources in the island country, and for light industrial manufacturers, they have to pay more to purchase related resources.

The final result is that the production cost of light industrial manufacturers is high, and the high cost makes the prices of various industrial products more expensive than those in other countries.

Once a large number of foreign industrial products are introduced, foreign capital will use the price advantage to suppress local enterprises and further squeeze the market.

Compared with them, local companies in island countries will not have any competitive advantages, and can only allow foreign capital to crowd out the market and suppress their living space.

In that case, the market of the entire island country will fall into the hands of foreign capital step by step.

Not only Takahashi, but everyone present at 267 is well aware of this.

Introducing foreign industrial products is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison.

"Mr. Takahashi is right. Foreign industrial products must not be easily imported, otherwise the empire's market will be owned by them, and local companies will no longer have any room for survival."

Saito agreed with Takahashi's point of view, but his face was not very good-looking.

Right now they need to solve the market crisis of the empire. The first two methods are not suitable, but there must be a solution.

In this way, the entire meeting was once again deadlocked.

Again, the fundamental solution to the current problem is to satisfy the supply.

But where does the supply come from? This question has never been resolved.

In the following period of time, some officials put forward their own views, and some said that some factories should be established as soon as possible to restore a certain amount of light industry productivity.

But this method obviously doesn't work.

Some people even proposed to forcibly suppress prices and set the prices of various items in the name of the government.

However, this method is more of a rush to the doctor.

Once the government comes forward to forcibly suppress prices, it will disregard the reality and disrupt the original laws of the market. This approach can be tried for a while, but it is completely a temporary solution rather than a permanent cure.

If the supply cannot keep up, forcibly lowering the price will only add fuel to the already turbulent market.

There are so many goods, what's the use of just lowering the price? .

Chapter 750: Huayin Group's Alert

The decline in light industry production capacity and the shortage of supplies of various daily necessities are the fundamental problems facing the island nation now.

If this problem is not solved, any measures will be given in vain.

But after the Fushan Industrial Park was destroyed, half of the light industrial factories in the island country were destroyed. Such a big loophole cannot be filled in a short while.

Because of this, Saito held a meeting with senior government officials from a group of archipelago countries all afternoon, but they failed to discuss the reason.

In the next few days, Saito held high-level meetings more than once, but each time it ended without a problem.

The market conditions in various parts of the island country are also deteriorating, and the supply of various daily necessities has not been able to keep up, resulting in an increase in the prices of industrial products in the market.

However, it is impossible for the income of the lower classes to keep up with the soaring prices, which has led to the island country's economy entering a rather unstable stage.

The specific manifestation is that the supply of goods in the market is insufficient, the price inflation rises, the people cannot afford daily necessities, and there are many complaints.

The island government is devastated by these matters, but there is nothing they can do.

When the internal turmoil occurred in the island country, Su Yun was also preparing for the next step.

As early as a few days ago, the group received news from the island country, knowing the current internal situation of the island country.

In view of this, Su Yun decided to act as soon as possible to give the island nation another lore!

At Huayin Group headquarters, Su Yun met Dong Cheng in the office.

Su Yun has informed Dong Cheng, Wu Si and other core management of the group about what happened inside the island country, and now Su Yun is discussing the next step with Dong Cheng.

"Dong Cheng, are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?"

Su Yun sat on the chair with a calm expression.

Dong Cheng replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, we have already prepared for it. Some time ago, we have stockpiled a large amount of goods in Hangzhou and other coastal cities, as well as near major coastal ports, ready to ship at any time."

"it is good!"

When Su Yun heard this, his face immediately showed excitement!

He had waited for this day for a very long time.

As early as the day when the industrial park was successfully destroyed, Su Yun had been paying attention to the market changes in the island country at any time. It was also from that time that Su Yun ordered Dong Cheng and others to start preparing various industrial products.

When the people of the island country are almost exhausted, they will ship a large amount of goods to the island country and take advantage of the momentum to occupy the market of the island country.

Picking up the phone at hand, Su Yun called Wu Si.

When Wu Si picked up the phone, Su Yun's expression immediately became serious.

"Wu Si, you pass on my order personally. From now on, the entire company headquarters will be under martial law, and our security personnel will seal off all areas of the headquarters, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will.

In addition, notify all the senior management at the headquarters to have a meeting in the conference hall~々. "

"Yes!"

As soon as Wu Si heard Su Yun's tone, he knew that something important was about to happen.

In connection with the recent situation in the island country, Wu Siduo asked: "President Su, are we going to start attacking the little devils?"

"Not bad!"

Su Yun didn't mind either, and told Wu Si about it.

With the development of the matter up to now, it is no longer a secret among the senior management of the group, and at the meeting today, Su Yun will officially tell all the participants about this matter, there is no need to keep it a secret for a while.

When Wu Si heard this, his face immediately showed joy.

"Understood President Su, I'll do it now!"

Putting down the phone, Wu Si unconsciously clenched his fist.

Very good!

After waiting for a long time, it was finally the day when the island country's finances were officially harvested.

Wu Si adjusted his clothes slightly, and strode out.

As Su Yun's order spread, the entire Huayin Group headquarters immediately started to move.

The security personnel at the group headquarters were notified and immediately began to block all areas inside and outside the group, and no one was allowed to enter and exit at will. If any employees of the group need to enter or exit, they must show their employee ID cards.

This notice was also issued to every employee in the headquarters.
