At the same time, parity markets have been established across the island.
These markets are filled with all kinds of materials shipped by the Huayin Group to the island country, most of which are daily necessities and other light industrial products.
Since they are imported goods, the prices of these materials have not been affected by the market changes in the island country, and they are still sold at normal prices.
The first batch of goods was not too much and could not meet the needs of the entire island country. Therefore, after discussing with the Huayin Group, the army decided to open these markets in densely populated large cities such as Kyoto and Osaka.
These places have more inhabitants and are most affected by market changes.
After the parity market was opened, the military cooperated with the Huayin Group to start publicity. After receiving the news, the local people flocked like crucian carp across the river.
For example, in the Osaka area, not long after the news was released in 09, countless people came here to snap up goods.
Because it has just opened, the parity market does not occupy a large area, and various shops and stalls will not be formally established in the future, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of the local people for buying.
In particular, there are long queues like dragons all day long in front of the shops for daily necessities such as flour, rice, oil and salt.
Thousands of people from the island nation came to buy grain and oil. The line started from the door of each store and extended to the neighborhood of the street. They even folded back and forth several times!
The island nation had anticipated this situation a long time ago, so many workers and buddies were arranged in front of the shops and booths.
These people were recruited urgently, just to be able to cope with the large number of people rushing to buy goods.
But even so, manpower is still not enough.
In the parity market, the island country guys and workers employed in each store are very busy, going back and forth between the counter and the warehouse to fetch goods for customers.
In front of some shops, the Japanese military even had to arrange for soldiers to come over to maintain order.
"Everyone, don't grab it! Everyone has it!"
"Today's goods are enough, please keep order, don't disturb the team, and buy in order!"
However, this maintenance seems pale and weak.
Generally speaking, although the citizens of the island country are extreme in many things, they are still relatively good at law and order, and many people also pay more attention to etiquette.
But in today's cheap market, this kind of literacy is almost invisible.
In front of a certain grain and oil store, two military police officers shouted loudly, gesturing for everyone to line up and maintain order.
But the people of the island countries who came to buy didn't care about these at all, and rushed to buy things.
The shelves of the store were sold out within ten minutes, but there were still many people from island countries outside who came to snap up the goods and continued to pour in without knowing the situation.
The workers and guys in the store had to keep replenishing the shelves, but the speed of their replenishment was not as fast as the people rushing to buy!
This shop can be regarded as a representative of the cheap market.
Today's island countries, wherever there are cheap markets, the situation is basically the same.
The nearby people rushed into it and rushed to buy it in various stores, so that the shelves of many stalls seemed to be empty forever!
Every day, the markets are crowded with people.
Obviously there are so many people who came to snap up the goods and lined up in front of the shops and booths, but the whole market is still crowded with people.
Looking in from the outside of the market, you can only see the crowds and clothes of various colors.
These people either just entered the market and rushed to the stalls and shops to buy supplies, or they bought a lot of things and walked out with their hands on their shoulders.
In some narrow places, weaker people will even be pushed to the wall by the crowd.
Even so, the common people still didn't care, shuttled around the shops and stalls to buy.
The direct cause of this phenomenon is naturally the price gap.
Due to insufficient supply of industrial products in the island country, the price of each commodity is three to four times higher than the normal level, while the price of Huayin Group's goods has been maintained at the normal level.
So the people of the island nation are flocking to it.
In fact, the people of the island countries are still very patriotic due to their domestic environment and education.
In normal times, many people might disdain Huayin Group's goods, even if Huayin Group's goods are cheaper.
But that's normal!
Now the price gap between Huayin Group and local industrial products has reached three to four times, even for rice, flour, grain and oil, etc.
In this case, the people of the island country don't care who owns the goods!
Whether it's from Huayin Group or from the United States, as long as it allows them to shop and live normally, who cares so much!
The lower class people are very real. They have limited income and they have to support their families. No matter how patriotic they are, they have to fill their stomachs first.
Compared with the Huayin Parity Market, which is bustling and busy all day long, those markets and stores in the island country are very depressed.
All these stores buy local goods, and the prices are affected by the local industry, which is three or four times higher than the usual level.
Such a high price directly dissuaded all 270 island people.
Therefore, since the establishment of the parity market, local stores in various places have been miserable and neglected.
Many people from island countries passed by these stores without even taking a look.
People in some villages and towns and other small places even prefer to travel dozens of miles to the cheap market in the city to buy supplies, rather than buy in local local stores.
The reason is simple, the price gap between the two is too big.
Common people like them have low incomes, and they usually have to budget carefully for daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, food, drink and clothing, not to mention the astonishing price gap between the two.
For them, patriotism and the like are just feelings, and when difficulties come, they still regard survival as the first priority.
Over the past few days, the cheap markets all over the world have shown a noisy and busy scene every day.
Even after a few days passed, the busyness of the various markets remained undiminished. Even if many people snapped up a lot of goods, they would continue to buy.
These people all have a kind of mind of preparing for a rainy day.
The parity market was set up suddenly, and there was no telling when it would close.
Now that local prices are so high, if you don't hurry up and buy more, when the cheap market is gone, who will they find for reasoning! .
Chapter 755: The Big Brother's Scolding
During this period of time, many ordinary people have lived frugally, even trying to save on the usual three meals a day. The rapid rise of local prices has threatened the basic survival of the people at the bottom.
However, the emergence of the parity market has finally greatly changed the plight of the local people.
Many people have bought the necessities of life at normal prices, and their lives have finally returned to normal. Many people are very happy about this.
But the common people are happy, but the government of the island country wants to intervene.
The establishment of the parity market has caused quite a stir, and the matter has spread to the island government early on.
After discussing with Saito, Takahashi decided to close down these parity markets immediately, because this would affect the local light industry.
However, this move of Huayin Group has won the support of the army. If it is forced to close, it will cause the army's dissatisfaction. Therefore, Saito personally plans to persuade the army to close the parity market.
On this day, Saito found General Lin Mian in person.
After arriving at the office, Saito was not polite, and sternly said at the first meeting: "Mr. Lin! As soldiers of the empire, you actually let the Huayin Group run amok in the imperial market!
Now I ask your army to dispatch troops immediately and forcibly shut down the parity markets everywhere! "
"Oh?"
Seeing Saito come in, he began to reprimand, Lin Miao stood up suddenly, with a look of disdain on his face.
Now that the Huayin Group is sending materials to the empire, it has stabilized the domestic supply, and many people have benefited from it. Why should the parity market be shut down?
What's more, this is a cooperation between the army and Huayin Group. When will it be the turn of the navy to intervene?
As soon as Saito came in, he acted wildly with him, and Lin Miao was not used to him at all.
"Saito, who do you think you are?
How can it be your turn to intervene in the matter between Huayin Group and our army?
The cheap market benefits people all over the world, you just want us to shut down?It is simply unreasonable~々! "
"Baga! You are harming the interests of the empire by doing this!"
Saito was furious, he had never looked down on the Lu Jun gang, and now that Lin Qian still disregarded him so much, Saito naturally wouldn't put up with it.
After scolding, Saito said sharply: "From the beginning to the end, your army colluded with the Huayin Group, only caring about getting resources for yourself, and completely disregarding the safety of the empire.
As the chief of the army, you have blind eyes, can't tell right from wrong, and ignore the interests of the empire! "
Seeing Saito holding out the hat of imperial interests, Lin Xian was even more disdainful.
"The interests of the empire? You deserve it too!
You keep saying that you want to consider the empire, but your navy still divides most of the resources you get, completely disregarding the life and death of the army.
Our cooperation with Huayin Group is to obtain the required resources through legitimate channels, and now you are here to obstruct it.
Saito, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the support of the navy.
You navy are a bunch of selfish guys. You only care about profiting for yourself in private, but you pretend to be righteous on the surface. What a joke! "
Lin Miao cursed and came out from behind the desk.
It's not that he doesn't know the navy's thoughts, and the words are better than the songs.
Just like this Saito, he talked about the interests of the empire when he opened his mouth and shut his mouth. When it was time to reap the benefits, when did their navy make concessions?
"you!"
Saito wanted to refute, but he had nothing to say.
In all fairness, what Lin Qian said is indeed true.
He was born in the navy, and his status also relied on the support of the navy to rise all the way, so he was naturally more inclined to the navy in everything.
Lin Xian's words just hit his weakness.
Seeing that Saito had nothing to say, Lin Mian showed a sneer.
The navy and army of the empire have always been at odds. Saito, as the representative of the navy, doesn't care how the army feels.
Don't look at him as the leader, but Lin Qian is also one of the three giants of the army, holding the military power in his hands, so there is no need to buy him!
Seeing that Lin Xian didn't accept this at all, Saito said angrily again: "You only know how to fight for profit, but you don't know that doing so will destroy the empire's light industry!
You, like the rest of the Army, are a bunch of people who don't know anything about economics or finance.
Now Huayin Group is taking advantage of the decline of the empire's light industry capacity, and instead opens a market in the empire and supplies products to the empire. It is to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy our market and control our economy! "
"What nonsense!"
Lin Qian waved his hand vigorously, but he didn't agree with Saito's statement at all.
"Tell me, Huayin Group only opened a few markets, so how could it endanger the empire's light industry?"
In Lin Xian's view, Huayin Group is only temporarily supporting them with some goods to help them stabilize prices and solve their current problems.
In addition, they did not engage in dumping of industrial products, and they did not take the opportunity to frantically build factories in the empire. How could they threaten the empire's light industry?
What Saito said was nothing but nonsense.
But Lin Xi didn't know that the establishment of a cheap market was also one of the means of dumping industrial products.
It's just that he doesn't understand the economy, and the Huayin Group just changed the term, and Lin Milling firmly believes in it. After all, he doesn't understand the economy, the market, etc. at all.
Seeing Lin Xian being so ignorant, Saito's mouth twitched in anger.
This guy Lin Qian is really simple-minded.
Huayin Group's industrial products were all smashed in the face, but he still accepted his death, thinking that Huayin Group was helping the empire solve the problem.
In a rage, Saito wanted to scold this guy.
But today he came here to persuade the army to shut down those cheap markets.
So Saito had no choice but to explain patiently, but the words were quite fierce. If Lin Mian didn't give himself (Zhao Hao) face, he didn't have to give the other party face.
"' ‖ Huayin Group has already begun to occupy our market, but you are still so stupid!
Do you know that Huayin Group sells all kinds of industrial products to our people at such a low price. Although it solves the current problem, it will destroy half of our local enterprises!
These days, the industrial products produced by our local enterprises cannot be sold at all. If this continues, countless local enterprises will go bankrupt.
By that time, our light industry will be completely destroyed! "
