1987: Sleepless Tonight

The result surprised Lu Hao a little.

The price of Baiyunbian has increased.

The original retail price was 6 yuan and 2 cents, but now it has risen to 4 yuan.

Including Xiangfan Tequ, Shihua Daqu, and many other liquors have also increased in price.

The change from planned prices to market adjustments, and from price bureau pricing to independent pricing by enterprises has greatly fluctuated the impact on various commodities.

Under the market economy, one hair will affect the whole body.

When the grain price increases, so does the drink, including related materials, equipment, and so on, which will also fluctuate accordingly.

"Come on, smoke a cigarette." Lu Hao gave a cigarette to the person he was in contact with in the wholesale department of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"It's not just the rise of wine, the prices of electrical appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and color TVs, are also rising. The market demand is huge, and prices have been rising all the way, especially color TVs, which have risen too much. Price departments, The Municipal Bureau of Light Industry and the Municipal Commission of Commerce jointly issued a document and adopted 4 measures to curb the blind price rise of color TV sets." This man was smoking a cigarette and chatting with Lu Hao.

"The first one is to levy a special consumption tax. A special consumption tax is levied on color TV sets. The tax amount is 1 yuan for each 14-inch TV set, and 400 yuan for a 14-inch TV set. The second one is to collect localization development funds. Domestic color TV, 600 yuan for 2 inches, 14 yuan for more than 100 inches, imported TVs are not charged.

Lu Hao said, "That's pretty high."

Black and white TVs are cheap, one is 800 yuan, color TVs are expensive, one can cost one or two thousand, like Lu Hao’s 18-inch Feiyue color TV, which was 1835 yuan when he bought it.

If you follow this policy, you have to pay 600 special consumption tax and 300 localization development fund.

It's a full 900 yuan more expensive!

"It's quite high." The man nodded, "The third one is the fixed-point franchise, and the fourth one is the price adjustment method."

Lu Hao took a breath.

Fixed-point franchise is easy to understand, that is, color TVs can only be sold to fixed people or companies, and those without authorization are not allowed to sell. Simply put, it reduces speculation and regulates prices.

Adjusting the pricing method is also easy to understand. The prices of products in the local area and other places are different. The local price is generally lower, while the price in other places is higher. There are different ratios. This ratio is called the comprehensive difference rate.

The way to adjust the price is to adjust the comprehensive margin, increase the cost, and raise the retail price in a disguised form.

After the price is high, fewer people will buy it, and the rise in the price of electrical appliances can be restrained.

Lu Hao did some calculations, if he bought his color TV now, it would cost more than 1000 yuan more.

"Let's go." He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out, and got into the car.

Wages don't rise, and you have to face the threat of layoffs, but color TVs are still so popular, forcing relevant departments to introduce restrictive measures.

There are still many rich people.

However, there are quite a few speculators out there who take advantage of the price difference between the place of production and different sales places to make profits, take goods as local retailers, and then sell them elsewhere.

Those who go to work honestly and work hard on farming have to endure.

It's speculative, and the pockets are already bulging.

The wine had already been placed in the rear compartment. The retail price was 8 yuan. Lu Hao bought it at the wholesale price of 7 yuan and 1 cents per bottle. He bought 4 bottles and spent a total of 70 yuan.

The car drove directly to the old man's house.

Su Jin, Su Jiangang, Su Yumei, Zhang Yongqiang, father-in-law Su Xingmin and mother-in-law Wang Guizhi all came down to help carry the wine.

"Is this wine?"

"Is it prepared for Xiao Jinsheng's school banquet?"

"Do you want someone to help you?"

Neighbors from the neighborhood came to watch the excitement, and they also helped out.

Lu Hao took out the smoke and let it loose.

"Boss Lu, please be polite."

"It's still China, thank you."

"This is the second son-in-law of the old Su family, right?"

Someone who knew Lu Hao respectfully took the cigarette with both hands, and even bent over.

When Lu Hao went to the beverage factory, most of them went to the warehouse, but sometimes he also went to the production line. Most of these neighbors worked in the beverage factory, some in the production department, some in the logistics, and some in the cafeteria.

Some people don't know, haven't seen Lu Hao, some people have seen, know.

I know it, and I know that Lu Hao has made a fortune. Recently, there are many private dealers at the entrance of the beverage factory, hauling soda, and the city supply and Marketing Cooperative also comes every few days to haul soda with a truck.

Those who didn't know Lu Hao, but saw that it was Zhonghua who broke up with Lu Hao, all of them were extremely polite to Lu Hao.

The best way to be respected is to show your strength, and the way to show your strength is nothing more than money, power and the like.

Zhonghua cigarettes are expensive and hard to buy.

Just this point immediately made people look up to him a lot, and he was a lot more polite.

The method is rough, but the effect is amazing.

Seeing that Lu Hao was so respected, and many people called Lu Hao Boss Lu, they were extremely polite to him, Su Yumei and Zhang Yongqiang felt sore in their hearts.

Su Jiangang was a little surprised, his eyes kept looking at Lu Hao.

Wang Guizhi smiled from ear to ear.

The family moved the wine into the house and put it neatly.

"Has the price of this wine increased?" Su Xingmin asked.

"The price has increased. It used to be 6 yuan and 2 cents, but now it has risen to 4 yuan a bottle." Lu Hao nodded, "I bought the wholesale price, a bottle of 8 yuan and 7 cents."

"The price of everything is increasing now." Su Xingmin sighed, and looked at Lu Hao, "Thank you for your hard work, and let you spend money."

"It's just small money." Lu Hao said with a smile.

He looked at Su Jin, "In the future, I will be able to tell people that my sister-in-law is a college student at Jiangcheng University. If you build your reputation, people will look up to me."

"Brother-in-law, you can rub it if you want." Su Jin brought a bottle of soda for Lu Hao, and opened the bottle cap.

The service is in place.

"Lu Hao, come over and have a look. How would you like to order these dishes? Do you think it's suitable?" Su Xingmin took out a piece of paper from his pocket and showed it to Lu Hao.

Handwritten menu.

He went to the cafeteria to talk to the cook, and wrote down the prices of the dishes.

"A table has 18 dishes, 15 meat dishes, and 3 vegetarian dishes." Su Xingmin said.

People see less meat these days. Pork costs 1 yuan a catty, beef costs 2 yuan a catty, mutton costs 2.38 yuan a catty, hen costs 1.9 yuan a catty, and grass carp costs 2 yuan and 3 cents a catty. It is relatively expensive, eats less, lacks oil and water in the stomach, and likes fat meat more than lean meat.

The dishes that Su Xingmin was going to order were also meat-based.

"Yes." Lu Hao nodded, "Let's get some more fruit. Watermelon is the best. Cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate. It can also relieve the heat on a hot day."

"Okay." Su Xingmin agreed and wrote it down.

After discussing and confirming for an hour or two, Lu Hao went back.

He is also an important figure in this family.
