Chapter 37 Soaring Prices
In June, the sun is very strong, especially in the afternoon, the earth is burnt./qb5,com
The car bucket was covered with plastic cloth, but the heat was still unbearable through the plastic cloth. It was just that after a nap in the car bucket, no one could sleep. The children kept shouting hot, and they couldn't stand it anymore. Rest was of little significance to Zhou Liming now. He jumped out of the car bucket and looked around. All the places where he could enjoy the cool were occupied by people, and there was no spare place.
Both sides of the highway are parked cars, and heavy trucks are surrounded by cars and there is no way out.
Zhou Liming was silent, opened the cab and climbed in, and soon came out again, closed the cab door, and said to An Xiaowei who was sticking out his tongue and gasping for breath: "Look at the kids, I'll find a place to enjoy the cool air." An Xiaowei nodded and said weakly: "I understand, come back soon."
The entire Shuangqiao Town is not small, but it cannot withstand the number of people coming from all directions, and is full of people everywhere.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, blocking the door."
This phenomenon occurs everywhere in the town. Whenever people living here want to travel, they always need to shout to let the people staying at the gate get out of the way. The places where they can enjoy the cool are full of people. They don’t care what the owner thinks, and they feel like they are throwing apart.
In fact, what can the residents of the town do? They all close the doors, and except for the necessary outings, they all stay at home. The world is now in chaos, and no one knows what chaos will happen to the more and more people outside. As for the kindness of taking in, it is extremely talked about. How many people can you ask for a temporary stay at your home?
There are quite a few people in the town who are empty, but the soldiers who are constantly patrolling by, who want to break into the door can only put aside their thoughts.
Zhou Liming walked around and saw all the people who were depressed, some of whom had lost their relatives were still sobbing softly. People who cursed were everywhere. They kept cursing the world, cursing all the people and things they thought were unfair. But more, they were still relatively silent and didn't know what they were thinking.
According to Zhou Liming's idea, he could use money to knock on the door of the town residents and ask them to rent a few rooms for him.
But after knocking on the door a few times, there were people inside, but they all vigilantly asked about Zhou Liming's identity and then ignored him. Finally, a family was willing to open the door, but when Zhou Liming made this request, he was directly distanced. Even if Zhou Liming grabbed a handful of gold jewelry from his pocket, it did not impress the other party.
"Why don't people love money nowadays?"
The gold hand jewelry in his hand was worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, but Zhou Liming couldn't figure it out. The other party's eyes lit up slightly, and then he refused decisively. How could he know that every coastal family has become rich in the past ten years. Take the town as an example. There are people worth more than one million yuan, and hundreds of thousands of people are embarrassed to say it out. In this case, he is worried about his own safety. Who would look down on Zhou Liming's hand jewelry worth tens of thousands of yuan?
After several encounters, Zhou Liming had no choice but to stop this idea.
Many of the people who were blocked by the blockade here were those who were reminded to bring enough food. So hunger is not the theme song here, and fear and impatience are the best portrayal of people. Although many people are not short of food and water, the military still provided lunch in the afternoon, two large steamed buns and a pickled white porridge.
There was a scene where soldiers maintained order, and there was no scene in Hemudu Town. People lined up in an orderly manner and offered points to collect.
According to the news conveyed by the military, two meals will be provided here every day, at noon and at night. There is no shortage of water here, and there is no paralysis in the supply of tap water, including electricity, etc.
Zhou Liming prepared enough food and did not need to worry about food for at least one week, so there was no need to queue up for most of the half-hour to receive this Chinese meal.
"Damn it, we stopped us, but let the people from Zhejiang A and Zhejiang G evacuate. Is our lives not our lives?"
Under the shade of a tree, several men sat down, holding leaves and constantly swearing themselves in the wind. The conversation between them was not surprising, but Zhou Liming still moved his heart, walked to their side, and then found a stone to sit down. Zhou Liming, who lacked external information, had no friends and relatives from other cities, and the source of information was very limited.
The person who spoke was a white and clean middle-aged man, in his forties, and his beer belly made him look very rich. He said with his cell phone: "Just just now, my cousin in Zhejiang City G said that they were already evacuating. The destination of the evacuation was Anhui City. In other words, our Zhejiang Province has been abandoned. What a bastard. My career is all in Zhejiang Province. What can I do in the future?"
Another tall and thin man let out a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Old Chen, you've calculated it, and you still have tens of millions of cash deposits. I just marked a piece of land at the foot of Longtou Mountain a month ago. I still owed tens of millions of dollars in the bank, and I didn't have a son on him. Do you know what the prices in the rear city are like now?"
Several others shook their heads curiously, despite their well-informed knowledge, but did not take this into consideration.
"The closer a kilogram of rice is to the coastal city, the more expensive it will be. Prices have risen 20 times, and it is still rising." The tall and thin man paused for a moment and said, "The gas stations have stopped operating, lost the coastal areas and oceans, and fuel cannot be imported. I don't know what the price of fuel will rise to in the future. It is possible that fuel will only be provided to the military for use. It's a damn thing."
"What should I do if my car can run around a hundred kilometers of fuel?"
"Mine is almost the same, only a hundred kilometers. I was too hasty when I escaped. I was so careless. Where can I get fuel now?"
"You guys are fine. If I don't work hard, I will become a pile of scrap iron."
"My car is 6.0, haha, it's so miserable!"
One person sighed and then mentioned the city behind him. The housing prices were even rockets, from thousands to tens of thousands or even tens of thousands per square meter, and it was far from meeting people's needs, with prices but no market. This means that money is constantly shrinking, and it is difficult to buy a house for millions or even difficult to buy a house for millions.
What's even more terrifying is that according to this momentum, it may continue to rise.
A well-informed person naturally becomes extremely sad and has no idea what to do in the future. Even if he can escape from the coastal areas where ferocious beasts wantonly, how can he survive if he loses his career and prices rise dozens of times?
Hundreds of millions of people flocked to these cities, causing too much impact in all aspects.
The country is busy mobilizing troops to build defense lines, so how can it be hard to mobilize manpower to manage the soaring price increase? It is precisely because of this that the profiteering businessmen are raising prices tremendously, almost a few things a day, making great disasters. But they don’t know that while they are raising prices steadily, their assets will also shrink. The impact of this is not just that, it will make the entire society turbulent and lay fatal hidden dangers.
Many people are aware of this problem and have thought of this hidden danger, but under the current situation, no one can stop it.
Of course, Zhou Liming could not have imagined that far. After listening to the conversation between these people, he felt like falling into an ice cave because he found that his handpiece worth millions could not afford to buy a small house. The idea of buying a house that he had imagined before was so ridiculous.
If even a kilogram of rice has risen to 200 or 300 yuan, it is already good to ensure that the people around you can have a bite of food. Are you still looking forward to buying a house?
Zhou Liming suddenly realized that he actually had millions of poor people, and he might be able to struggle on the line of food and clothing.
Don’t expect prices to fall. With the fall of coastal areas, the loss of control of industrial cities, the concentration of population, the reduction of farmland area, and the continued rise of prices will also force prices to continue to rise. And the longer the time is delayed, the worse the situation will be. What may eventually lead to is that money will no longer be money, and even rmb will become a piece of waste paper.
Paper money will be reshuffled in the disaster and will be gradually replaced by a new paper money mechanism.
