Chapter 47 、 The Financial Crisis 8
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou casually ate some breakfast and went downstairs. As soon as they walked out of the homestay, they heard the intense quarrel from the pedestrian street
A young man pointed at the menu and yelled, "Is this money robbing? I used to eat rice noodles for only 800 gold coins, but today I wanted 3200! Boss, you want money crazy?"
The boss explained bitterly, "This morning, the price of buying rice noodles has quadrupled, and I can't help it. Selling at the previous price, I will lose money! Now everything is going up in price, and the business can't go on."
A young man next to him was furious and threw the bowl directly on the ground. "I will not eat!"
The boss immediately chased after him. "I am! I want to run when I hit the bowl, stop me and lose money!"
The young man turned around and slipped away quickly. The fat boss was chasing after him panting, and several customers in the rice noodle shop saw the boss chase him out and ran away after eating. I didn't catch up, but when I returned to the store, the owner who had run away from customers found his face as dark as a pan. He was frustrated that the waiter and sister packed up the empty bowls, closed the door and put a "closed business" sign.
Moving forward, an aunt and a young guy were arguing, because the young man didn't notice when he walked, hit her, broke her basket of eggs, she asked to lose 10,000 gold coins, and the young man refused, and the aunt would tear him. The sleeves refused to let him go.
A lot of people were watching around, and the crowd was talking "Is the price crazy? Fortunately, I went to the supermarket yesterday to buy a lot of instant noodles ..." "I bought hundreds of eggs yesterday, and now I sell them. Send it? "" Don't rush to sell it, what if it will go up tomorrow? "" My God, it will go up ?! This makes people not live! "
Pedestrian Street belongs to the old city, and there are more shops operating in small capital.
Many people in the rice noodle shop fled the order early in the morning, and a bun shop was also smashed by customers. The bosses were frightened to close the door. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang came all the way. Yesterday, the lively pedestrian street suddenly became very deserted. Another shop hangs a "stop business" sign to keep its heads away, and pedestrians on the road are also full of fear.
Shao Qingge was waiting for them downstairs in the hotel. After meeting the two, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How was last night? Did you meet a thief?"
Xiao Lou shook his head. "No, Shanshui is very quiet."
Shao Qingge rubbed his temples with a headache. "I didn't fall asleep last night. The two girls next door cried all night, as if all the supplies were stolen ... It seems that the thief's harvest was very rich yesterday. Shanshui Homestay hands-on? "
Yu Hanjiang frowned. "After all, the landscape guesthouse is the place where the challengers are most concentrated. There are more than twenty people living there. In case everyone joins together to deal with him, the thief will not take advantage. This thief is very clever, probably presumptuous. Single start. "
Shao Qingge sighed. "I knew you had all your supplies."
Xiao Lou smiled and comforted him. "It doesn't matter, it's less than one-tenth of our reserves stolen. The warehouse is fine."
Yu Hanjiang said, "I'll go to the warehouse to see, you act together, pay attention to safety."
Shao Qingge and Xiao Lou came to the stock market again.
Today's real estate-related stocks are still very stable, and some stocks are actually on the rise-for example, Tianhong Real Estate, Rongguang Real Estate, Real Estate Real Estate Group and other stocks that Shao Qingge followed yesterday all rose by about 5.
A five-day rise in the stock market is already a very high dividend. Many shareholders found this, and they talked about,
Why not sell all other stocks and buy real estate stocks?
The food stocks I bought have fallen to 25. It ’s a blood loss! I knew I would buy real estate stocks…
Yes Ah, prices are crazy, and prices are still stable. "
Xiao Lou did not know what to say when he heard these arguments.
The horrible thing is not to fall into despair at the beginning, but to give people hope constantly, and then destroy hope little by little.
The way that Meihua a manipulates this world is as predicted by Shao Qingge-he has to destroy people's psychological defense step by step. Seeing that real estate stocks are actually going up, many people have begun to switch to real estate stocks. It is conceivable that once real estate also collapses, will these people still have the faith to survive?
Some smart people notice that they are wrong and immediately sell their stocks, but there are always people who are lucky and expect to make money. This is the same as "gambler psychology". When you lose 1,000, you feel you can return to the original, you lose 2,000, and you feel you can win back. Because you are not willing, you are investing more and more-and finally you lose everything.
Many stockholders have been locked up in stocks, and want to pull out, how easy is it?
Xiao Lou went to the window and saw that a large number of shareholders had gathered on the rooftop of the building. Today's stock has fallen by another 50 on the basis of yesterday. These stockholders spontaneously organized, pulled up a large banner, and asked the city government to give an explanation.
There are also some people protesting in the central square not far away. They are holding up flags with various slogans in their hands. "Strongly call for price restoration!" "Please return us to a stable market!" Eggs? How can we live? "
There was excitement in the square, but no bloodshed occurred because the police came forward to maintain order.
At 8:50 in the morning, a middle-aged man in a suit and good looks suddenly appeared on the big screen in the central square.
The man faced a large number of cameras, and his voice calmly said, "Good morning, citizens, this is a press conference. I am Liu Qingming, the director of the Market Supervision Administration of City A. Please do n’t be excited, let alone panic. As a result, prices in this city will fluctuate to some extent in recent days, but we are working hard to regulate and bring the market back to order as soon as possible ... "
The people were quiet for a while and looked up at him to speak.
Director Liu Qingming talked about a lot of financial knowledge that the people did n’t understand, and then said,
Please do n’t gather people to make troubles and make things worse. We better go home now, blow air conditioners, watch TV, This nightmare weekend will soon pass, and I believe prices will soon return to normal levels. "
Xiao Lou "..."
What the hell? How about a three-year-old kid?
Shao Qingge squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Liu Qingming, this name is taken ... Qingming Festival tomb, believe he is a ghost?"
Xiao Lou could not cry or laugh. "Maybe there is no Qingming Festival in this world? But when challengers hear his name, they will understand-this is a character deliberately arranged by spades or plum blossoms, temporarily come out to stabilize the situation, maybe he will run next week It's gone. "
Shao Qingge "........."
The director was sent out to draw big cakes and give everyone a peace of mind, just to temporarily stabilize the emotions of the people. However, deceiving the public in this way will only make the temporarily stable mood of the public appear as a hurricane-like outbreak and counterattack.
Not only are prices rising, but market officials are deceiving everyone, who can stand it? !!
Because Director Liu talked about a lot of puzzling truths, plus the police's control of the field, the gathered people quickly dissipated, and they were all lucky—maybe as he said, price fluctuations will be a day or two. Stabilize?
Everyone's heart is not clear, but human beings are very good at self-consolation. Sometimes people would rather listen to lies than face more cruel reality.
The supermarket in the central square is full of people.
This morning, the supermarket gave a supply of supplies. Everyone was snapping up. The shelves were swept away in an instant. The queue was far less orderly than yesterday. It can be seen that people's emotions are obviously more irritable than yesterday.
Shao Qingge and Xiao Lou glanced at the supermarket and quickly turned to the Internet cafe yesterday.
The price of surfing the Internet rose to 1,600 gold coins for one hour. Xiao Lou had a small amount of spare change, and paid the Internet fees for two computers. Shao Qingge sat in front of the computer and continued to short the real estate stock, while Xiao Lou checked some information online.
He found that all he could find was information about the Spades 3 room.
Their city is called "a city", which should be a small space in the card world. Many people on the forum are swearing, and some media reporters use various slogans to brainwash everyone. "The financial turmoil is only temporary. I believe we can Spend! "" Read the difficulties together and protect the homes of City A! "" The skyrocketing prices are just a stimulus to consumption, everyone should be calm and calm, and the market will soon return to normal "...
There are so many chicken soups of this kind, and many people in the reply believe it.
The people at the forum are divided into optimists and pessimists. The optimists all said that the financial crisis will soon pass. As long as you have deposits and materials, don't worry.
Pessimists are already trying to escape from this place. "I booked a ticket for tomorrow to the city of the moon. The fare is extremely high, and one ticket is hard to find, but I believe that leaving city A is the best choice now." "I live here After many years, I was unwilling to leave, but I really couldn't bear it, and I planned to go to a relative's house in a foreign country for a while. "
These are all freelancers.
However, most people's jobs, loved ones, and houses are here-rooted here, how can they leave so smartly?
Xiao Lou tried to buy a ticket to the "City of the Moon" on the online ticketing system and found that after verifying his identity information, the ticketing system showed "You are forbidden to purchase tickets"-this result was expected by him .
He is a challenger, and certainly cannot directly buy a ticket to run away. All the free people in this world can run.
After an hour of local forums and news, Xiao Lou found that the number of free people who fled the city to buy tickets was not small. These people are undoubtedly smart, but the premise is that the current traffic can still operate normally.
Once the traffic is paralyzed, it is impossible to run away!
Beside, Shao Qingge had finished operating the stock market, Xiao Lou got up and left with him.
Shao Qingge whispered "Professor Xiao just checked the webpage, what did you find?"
Xiao Loudao "From the forum replies and information posted on various social networking sites, about 40 people are currently optimistic and believe that prices will recover; 40 people are holding the worst and plan to stock up crazy, and 20 people ... ... hurry to buy a ticket and run away. "
Shao Qingge felt his chin and said, "Tomorrow is a working day, there will definitely be a large-scale strike wave. When the traffic system is paralyzed, optimistic people will turn pessimistic." He thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I have to do it in advance. Get ready to find a computer at the cafe owner. "
Xiao Lou understands authentically. "Are you worried that the Internet cafe will close tomorrow?"
Shao Qingge nodded "prepared for nothing."
After all, today there are too many restaurants with a "closed" sign. This Internet cafe is deserted. Only the Internet is available for individuals. When the cost of Internet access doubles again tomorrow, people will have problems eating. Whoever has time to come to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet ?
Shao Qingge came to the front desk of the Internet cafe and said, "Boss, is there an old computer that sells me one? There are not many requirements and you can get online."
The boss asked for "100,000 gold coins, and you can choose a few of the machines you eliminated."
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Boss, you know the market now. There are more than 50 seats in this Internet cafe. Only four or five people are online today. Maybe no one will come tomorrow. People even have problems eating. Come online, are you right? "
The corner of the boss's mouth jerked violently, because he knew that the young man was right.
After the electricity and internet bills skyrocketed in the past two days, the internet bills of his Internet cafes had to follow suit, and business plummeted. In the past weekend, the machine was full, but this weekend, only half of the people were yesterday, and today there are only 10 people.
Looking at the empty Internet cafe, he felt uncomfortable, but he invested in the Internet cafe that he saved for half a lifetime!
Xiao Lou continued to smile and said, "You have so many computers, and it's no different from a pile of scrap iron if you leave them unused. Sell us one."
The boss thought it over and said, "Okay! Then you ask for a price?"
Xiao Loudao "It ’s better. I ’ll exchange ten boxes of chocolate for your old notebook. Chocolate is very valuable now. You can go to the supermarket to see if it is out of stock and you ca n’t buy it. The ten boxes of chocolate are worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Maybe it will rise tomorrow. "
Shao Qingge was surprised—Professor Xiao was really resourceful. After the collapse of prices, "exchanging goods with goods" is the best way. They can take extra gold coins out of the back room and spend them in other worlds.
The boss frowned, and seemed to be very entangled. Xiao Lou continued, "Let ’s not configure a desktop that is too high. We need a laptop with Internet access. I think your old one is too old. Give it to us."
Xiao Lou said as he took chocolate from his backpack.
The piece of chocolate has been sold out in the supermarket, making the boss swallow the swallow.
He was silent for a while and bit his teeth. "Okay! I have used this notebook for four years. It is used to manage customer information. I copy the information inside with a USB flash drive and you take it away."
The most important thing for an Internet cafe owner is a computer, not to mention an old laptop.
Xiao Lou happily changed his notebook with ten boxes of chocolate ...
Can't believe it in the real world.
Shao Qingge held his notebook and walked out of the Internet cafe before saying, "Professor Xiao, your reaction is too fast. I almost paid for it."
Xiao Lou smiled slightly. "General manager Shao usually buys things, and he may rarely consider the price. But now, the price is so unstable, and he can easily afford the rare items for his extra items, and it is not a loss for him."
Shao Qingge is full of admiration. "Or you will be careful and use chocolate to change your laptop ... it's a bizarre experience." He put his laptop in his backpack and squinted his eyes, "Would you like to use instant noodles for two more?" Mobile phone? "
Xiao Loudao "can go to the second-hand market."
He just specified a laptop replacement because the laptop can be charged. If the desktop is changed, it is not convenient to carry it, and second, once the power is cut off, isn't the computer unable to turn on the machine?
The notebook has a few hours of battery life, and it can be used elsewhere when fully charged.
A mobile phone is also necessary. After all, Yu team always acts alone. He is really worried about buying a mobile phone for Yu team. He and Shao Qingge also buy one, which will be more convenient to connect.
Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge came to the second-hand mobile phone market.
It is very deserted here, with only a few stores opening. After all, the market is crazy now. Most people rush to buy supermarket supplies, and no one pays attention to second-hand mobile phones.
The bosses are all sick, sighing and sighing.
Xiao Lou exchanged milk, instant noodles and other materials for three mobile phones. According to the price of the materials purchased at that time, it was about 50 yuan for an old mobile phone.
The boss readily gave him three broken phones and gave three cards.
In this world, people do n’t use mobile phones like real-life smartphones that can use video and WeChat. They can only send text messages and make phone calls, but it ’s enough for them. With these three phones, it is also convenient for the three to act separately. Connect with each other.
Chapter 048-The financial crisis 8
Decoration market.
There are a large number of decoration companies, as well as the city's largest furniture city and electronics city.
Compared to the chaos in the supermarket, the furniture city is relatively stable. After all, sofas, beds, and cabinets are too bulky to move. Kitchen utensils such as pots and bowls, as well as daily necessities such as stools and mops, are mostly in homes. There is no need to drive all the way to grab it, unless it is caught in the door.
However, Yu Hanjiang really saw two people with problematic heads.
They didn't go to the supermarket to grab food, but they ran to the electronic city and grabbed a 50-inch LCD TV!
It's almost the end of finance, and eating is a problem. What do you do to grab a TV and go back? In case of power outage, can you see? !!
The two young guys were wearing black vests and black shorts. They also had black stockings on their heads. They only cut through two holes and exposed their eyes ...
Yu Hanjiang seriously doubted whether the two wanted to rob a bank and ended up in the wrong place?
However, these two strange guys actually picked up a TV and turned around and ran.
The female manager of Appliance City was startled by the sudden change, apparently she did not understand the behavior of the two, and she responded after stunning for a few seconds, screaming, "Security! Security ?! Stop them. Someone grabs the TV! "
The security guard at the door reacted and immediately caught up.
The LCD TV was quite heavy, and the two second-fighting youths took the TV and ran for a few steps before they were caught up by the security guards. They fell to the ground, the security guards looked at them like silly men, and immediately called the police.
Soon the police came.
The policemen who led the team were very embarrassed. They criticized and educated the two of them. "When is this time? You have the strength to buy instant noodles, and he ran away to grab TV! Do you like watching TV so much?"
The black stockings they put on their heads were torn off by the police ...
He looks right, not like a professional robber.
The two people crouched on the corner of the wall, receiving criticism and education from the police, and their ears were a little red. One of them weakly said, "We are also impulsive, cough ..." The other was hippie with a smile, "Police officer, we deliberately robbed, According to local law, how many days will it be closed? "
Police said, "Blatant robbery, endangering social security, was detained for more than 7 days."
Instead of revealing a look of frustration, the two eyes brightened, seeming to be glad to be closed.
The police slap in the head and patted the two men's heads "So like to get into the game ?!"
They immediately hugged their heads and said, "No, no, we dare not ..."
The police took out the handcuffs and took them to the car to take them away. The LCD TV was returned to the sales manager. The woman manager said silently, "Who are these people? Run to grab the TV, and you can't move if you carry two steps? Are they funny?"
Yu Hanjiang watched this farce coldly.
The two were apparently challengers. It was estimated that the materials had been stolen, but they decided to rob and were arrested for seven days.
After being detained, if you have food and shelter, you can also pass through customs smoothly?
Really convinced the two men's thinking-should they say they are smart or stupid?
Do you think you can spend seven days safely in detention?
In that case, all the challengers teamed up to smash a bank, squatted into the cell collectively, and all the customs were cleared after seven days of squatting ... Is it so simple or a spade?
The strike wave will definitely affect all walks of life, and the police will certainly not be spared.
At that time, the detention center was paralyzed, and no one sent water or food to the prisoners. The two self-made smart guys are expected to stare at the iron windows for two lines of tears.
Yu Hanjiang didn't go to work and turned into the decoration market.
When I went yesterday, there were still many decoration companies and furniture stores open. Customers who had booked decoration companies came to quarrel. Today, the decoration company and equipment store are all closed, all the iron doors are falling, locked, and they are walking on the road. Even the personal image is invisible.
Obviously, most people know that the price has doubled, and they rushed to the grocery market, supermarkets and other places to buy daily necessities. The owners of the decoration market did not do business anymore. The most important thing.
Yu Hanjiang still used a cloak in the corner to avoid being discovered.
He came to the underground warehouse in a stealth suit, and it was empty. All the unloading and shipping cars were parked in the parking spaces. The driver was not at work. There was no trace of the lock he changed. It seems that this place did not attract the attention of thieves and robbers.
Yu Hanjiang was about to go to the warehouse to pick up some supplies and suddenly heard a light footstep.
He is now invisible, so don't worry about being seen, so he just walked over.
In the underground garage, a guy in dirty clothes is trying to push a tricycle out of the corner. He put several black garbage bags on his tricycle, stained with tomato juice and egg liquid. The weather is hot. These things have begun to rot, giving off an unpleasant smell.
He looked around from side to side and found no one, so he quickly opened the garbage bag above, and pulled out a pile of milk, chocolate, biscuits and other well-packed food from the "garbage bag" below!
Yu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes immediately.
I saw this guy swiftly took out five bottles of milk, a large box of chocolates, six packs of instant noodles, six packs of biscuits and six bottles of mineral water, stuffed them into the bag next to his feet, and then disguised the "trash truck". Pushed to the corner of the underground warehouse.
Then he took off his dirty clothes, took out the clean clothes from the backpack, put them on, and turned to leave.
Yu Hanjiang saw his face clearly.
The boy's handsome face still had a hint of childish childishness, but his eyes were dark and bright, and his eyes were full of stings. As he walked forward, he raised his ears and watched around alertly, like the most alert in the forest. Small animals.
What's more surprising to Yu Hanjiang is that this boy's body is particularly flexible, which is comparable to acrobats.
I didn't see him on the road just now, because he sneaked in through a hole in the wall behind the underground warehouse. The hole was less than a metre high, and he threw the backpack over and then leaned out to drill out, as flexible as a fish.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the direction in which he left.
It's the boy playing guitar in the central square.
I can think of using a tricycle to store supplies and disguising the tricycle as a "garbage truck". This guy's method is really clever. After all, no one would want to get close to a stinky garbage truck discarded in the corner.
There was no sound at all near Yu Hanjiang and so on, so he opened the warehouse door lock, took some supplies into his backpack, and turned back to his residence.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have returned. They are using a laptop to access the Internet, and they are still storing mobile phone numbers. Yu Hanjiang said, "Where's the computer and mobile phone?"
Shao Qingge said with a smile, "Professor Xiao bought it with chocolate and instant noodles."
Yu Hanjiang
…………
It's incredible.
With a smile on Shang Xiaolou, Yu Hanjiang believed this statement and praised "awesome."
Xiao Lou gave him one of the old mobile phones and said, "The numbers of Mr. Shao and I are stored in the address book. If the Yu team wants to go out in the future, it is also convenient to contact at any time."
Yu Hanjiang nodded and took the cellphone and put it in his pocket. "Professor Xiao is still thoughtful."
Xiao Lou asked, "What have you found today?"
Yu Hanjiang told the two of them that they had deliberately robbed with two stockings and went to the prison to clear the customs.
Xiao Lou couldn't believe it. "Jail customs clearance? Once the turmoil occurs, the prison will be very terrible. After all, the detained there is a guy with a bad character. He was beaten, smashed, snatched, or light, maybe killing people directly ..."
Yu Hanjiang nodded calmly. "Yes, prisoners are usually restrained and managed by prison guards. On the surface, they are honest. Once they are unconstrained, the consequences are unpredictable, and there may be the place where the bloodshed happened first."
Shao Qingge stroked his chin and said, "These two are estimated to be the same as me, and the order challenger who lived elsewhere, was stolen from the goods last night, and really couldn't live, only to think of this helpless solution."
The culprit was the thief of last night. It is hateful to steal the supplies of other challengers.
The two girls next to Shao Qingge cried all night, apparently desperate.
Don't they know that stealing supplies is like killing people in this world?
Xiao Lou clenched his fist "These thieves are unscrupulous in order to clear the customs!"
Yu Hanjiang gently held his shoulder and whispered, "Don't be too angry, the human heart is already unpredictable. We can't ask all challengers to adhere to the moral bottom line of the human race in the card world."
He shifted the topic and said, "I also encountered an interesting thing. The teenager who sang in the central square that day also stored the materials in the decoration market. His camouflage method was very clever-he directly built a tricycle and packed all the food. Into a black trash bag. "
Xiao Lou froze. "Garbage truck? Really he wanted it."
Yu Hanjiang said, "He loaded the materials into a garbage truck and pretended to be a garbage collector. Moreover, the tricycle can ride on the road at any time, which is very convenient. When entering and exiting the underground warehouse, he specializes in walking through the back door and changing clothes. He is too cautious. I wouldn't want to touch his garbage truck if I didn't see it today in my cloak today. "
Xiao Lou felt that Yu Hanjiang was cautious enough and rented a warehouse to store materials separately.
Unexpectedly, this young man is even more terrible, and he directly engages in a garbage truck.
Shao Qingge couldn't help laughing and said, "The challengers are really talented. He made himself dirty and smelly. He pushed the tricycle to pretend to collect garbage, and he could do it."
Xiao Lou was helpless.
Those who stole other people's supplies through customs, disguised as robbers and went to jail cells, and pushed tricycles to collect garbage ...
This is the next day, all kinds of challengers come on stage, it is really exciting!
Relatively speaking, Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge have become the most normal people in this world?
