Li Shan scratched his head, thought about the Guangzhou market report that Chen Xiaobing and others brought to him, and then said: "It seems to be correct?"
Zou Biao spread his hands: "Yes, these two sentences seem contradictory, but they are both correct. Social development has dynamic spatio-temporal imbalance. This is the case in the United Kingdom, and even more so in China. These two seemingly contradictory processes are in the same process.
Countries may exist at the same time, or even within the same county."
"I didn't expect that you are obviously a science student and quite interested in social sciences."
"I am an engineering student." Zou Biao said seriously, "Also, what we are discussing now is essentially economic history, and it cannot be understood correctly without certain mathematical abilities."
"So long-term history is still valid? If history continues to develop like this, it seems that things in history will still happen again?"
"Historical data may be true or false, but history cannot be said to be invalid or invalid." Zou Biao said, "History itself is based on the summary and refinement of past information, not to mention that the historical data itself is true, false, and incomplete. If you really want to know the situation, you have to go on the ground.
Investigate it."
"Let's take a trip around the world, and you will almost have to write an argumentative article." Li Shan said with a smile.
"Wanguo has opened successfully, but the market may be very unstable." Zou Biao looked worried, "If we don't go to the market to see it in person, I'm afraid there will be big problems."
Naturally, they also know about the paper and cotton issue. Whether it is the police or political security, an important task is to collect social sentiment and public opinion. The issue of the proliferation and hype of paper and cotton was sent to their desks more than a month ago.
But the paper-cotton hype is actually a financial issue. Although Li Shan and Zou Biao are aware of the dangers involved, how to deal with it depends on the decision of the financial department. In the end, they are just leaders of the production department.
, they have no decision-making power when it comes to specific market operations.
"I also think the paper cotton thing is a bit outrageous. It's too speculative." Zou Biao frowned, "What do the Wang family say?"
"They don't care about this matter. Theoretically speaking, this matter is unreliable now. After all, we don't have a futures market. The banks also said that this matter is not theirs to control - after all, people who speculate in paper and cotton have not borrowed money from banks, right? Liu Shi
The director held a working meeting and handed this matter over to Chu He and Ren Youzi. Aren't they theoretically the leaders of the Guangzhou Stock Exchange?"
"What's the use of these two polished commanders?" Even though one of Chu He and Ren Youzi is the secretary of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the other is the chairman of the stock exchange, in fact the only thing they can command is their personal secretary. They have built a house in the big world.
Shared office work.
Because the current volume of securities business is very small, and the Senate adheres to the purpose of not supporting idle people, the stock exchange and the China Securities Regulatory Commission only open their offices on 1, 3, 5, and 2, 4, and 6 each have part-time jobs.
"Isn't this a professional counterpart?"
"I think something will happen sooner or later if we continue like this, alas." Zou Biao began to sigh.
They took a small boat directly from the Great World Pier and arrived at the Pier of Wanguo Market. When they landed, they did not attract many people's attention. Although the opening ceremony was just held yesterday, the market here was already quite lively, with naturalized residents coming and going.
Many people have already become accustomed to people wearing Australian clothes and have not attracted much attention.
In order to promote the development of the market, the Hainan Demonstration Factory has put stock cotton yarn and cotton cloth into the market in batches since a week ago, and the Nansha Cotton Textile Factory that they support has also begun to put cotton cloth into the market. Now it is time to see the market reaction.
Among the four professional areas of A, B, D, and D in the Wanguo Market, except for Area D, which is mainly opened by Senate companies, the occupancy rate of the shops in the first three areas is actually less than half. However, even if it is less than half, the occupancy rate is
The transaction volume is already considerable by the standards of this time and space. Merchants can fully understand the benefits of this type of professional market.
They first went to the market management company to get a general understanding of the current market operating conditions. The situation was similar to what they had imagined. The current transaction volume was not large, but there was a gradual growth trend. However, among the total transaction volume, flowers, yarn,
The proportion of cloth is very small, accounting for less than 20% of the total transaction volume. The bulk is still silk products.
The reason is self-evident. Foreign merchants buy raw silk and silk fabrics in bulk - with the opening of Guangzhou as a port and the lifting of various restrictions on foreign merchants, foreign merchants' procurement has shifted from the "monsoon system" to the "perennial system"
.Many businessmen stay in Guangzhou for a long time, and their purchases of goods are no longer concentrated in certain months.
In terms of cotton products, the export quantity of various locally produced cotton cloths is very small. On the contrary, the market is affected by the hot sales of medium and low-grade cotton cloths. Recently, a large amount of Songjiang cotton cloths have arrived. Affected by the increase in demand for cotton cloths and the rising prices, small production machines
Affected by the increasing demand for cotton yarn from households and households, the cotton yarn shipments of the Lingao Demonstration Factory and Nansha Factory are stable and improving, and the "improved yarn" produced by the 07-type manual machine is also rising. The price is also rising.
.
Judging from the market, except for the skyrocketing cotton prices and the "paper cotton" that has started to go crazy, the overall market situation is pretty good. Machine-made yarns have gained great recognition and have eliminated the market for local yarns to a certain extent.
After coming out of the market management company, they walked around the market and chatted with the store bosses, which generally confirmed the data obtained from the management company.
In this way, as long as the hype of paper and cotton can be curbed in time and financial risks can be eliminated, the risk of a crisis in the cotton textile market will be preventable and controllable.
After completing this circle, the two of them felt quite satisfied. Finally, Zou Biao suggested going to Area A to have a look.
District A is all about small businesses. Regardless of the people coming and going, it is really lively. It does not even account for 5% of the total market transaction volume. But such small businesses often affect thousands of households.
"...To see how much impact our actions have on society, it is most realistic to directly look at the situation of the masses."
In addition to shops in District A, stalls are also allowed to be set up using undeveloped open space. Whether buying or selling, the merchants here are extremely small. The goods traded are also as small as one or two pieces of cloth and silk; a few skeins
Cotton yarn and silk; a load of dried cotton cocoons, etc. Although the business is small, it is a sideline business for countless farmers around Guangzhou. Many women use this to exchange for some income to subsidize their families.
They soon noticed that in front of a small shop, there were seven or eight people gathered around, who seemed to be talking about something. It looked like a certain shop owner was purchasing cloth from retail traders.
At Li Shan's signal, the group of people quietly approached and observed the situation in the store.
Sure enough, this is a small "cloth shop". Lishan knows that the word "shop" has a special definition in the commercial field of this time and space. It is used in the field of handicraft industry, and it is mostly a "buyer": sending out raw materials, purchasing
Finished products; there are also those that do not distribute raw materials and purchase products directly from retail investors, most of which are a combination of both.
Merchants who set up shop have their own wholesale channels. After receiving the goods, they transfer them to a certain place for wholesale sales.
The boss of the cloth shop is a tall and thin man. He directs two assistants to carry the cloth, receives customers, talks and negotiates with the retail traders who come to sell the cloth. He also has to be picky about the quality, measure the length, and finally weigh it on the scale.
From time to time, I have to scold or remind the waiter a few words. It can be said that I have ears in all directions and eyes in all directions.
He started shaking his head almost every time a roll of cloth came into his hands and unfolded. Although Li Shan and Zou Biao couldn't quite understand his Cantonese, they still knew the general meaning: all kinds of picky problems. Although retail investors often talked to him
They argued, but in the end they were all defeated and he deducted a few points to a dime.
"The way he behaves reminds me of a martial arts character..." Zou Biao said.
"who?"
"Lion shaking his head."
Both of them laughed, and this smile alarmed the boss. The boss looked up and saw that several people wearing "cadre uniforms" were watching. He was the most thoughtful and immediately greeted with a smile: "Comrades, come here
How about checking out a small shop?"
Li Shan also wanted to know the situation of the merchants, so he nodded and said: "That's good, but you are still busy with business..."
"It doesn't matter." The boss smiled, "I have developed the ability since I was a child to do two things at once, and I can do both business and business!"
After that, he greeted the waiter: "Aqian, please invite some comrades to come in and sit down and make some tea!"
Li and Zou came to the shop. The shop was very small. Except for the counter, it was all stock. But inside the counter, there was also a tea table and several Australian wicker chairs. They looked at the full set of "Kung Fu Tea" on the table.
"The tea set made Lishan feel familiar. I didn't expect that the customs brought by some elders from the old time and space would spread so quickly.
The boss asked the waiter to step in for the time being, and he came over to make tea for the two of them. He asked: "You two must be high-ranking Australian cadres..."
Li Shan couldn't help laughing and said, "How do you know?"
"I can tell just by looking at the appearance of the two of them. I can tell by looking at their demeanor! Although they are still a little different from the elders and leaders, they are very similar to each other."
After hearing this, Li Shan didn't know whether it was a compliment or a disparagement, so he could only laugh a few times. Zou Biao thought the boss was very interesting and asked, "You have such a good vision! We are from the Song Dynasty Weaving Bureau, and we are specializing in it today."
I came here to see the sales of Australian cotton yarn."
"It turns out that this Australian yarn was spun by you!" the shopkeeper said in surprise, "I'm sorry! I wonder what your surnames are, these two comrades?"
There is no need to hide this. They each reported their last names. The shopkeeper said: "My surname is Li and my given name is Qiwei. I open a small cloth shop in Nanhai County. This is a semicolon."
The tea in their mouths almost spit out. Li Shan suppressed his laughter and said:
"It turns out...it's shopkeeper Li."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Shopkeeper Li was very excited and was about to serve him personally, but the customers waiting outside became impatient and clamored to sell cloth.
