Vol 2 Chapter 924: [Crazy buying of food and other necessities]

[Renren Novel Network]
Yesterday, the microwave oven was looted. Today, people are rushing to buy food and hoarding a large amount of daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
Luo Sheng, who owns Bluestar Technology and the Blue Coast, can see the big data information of the whole people, and can intuitively see what citizens are rushing to buy through the data information such as the payment list of products.
Food and drink are the most snapped up.
At this time, everyone is most concerned about the big problem of eating. The food shortage crisis that comes to mind for the first time. Although it is difficult to live without electricity and mobile phones, it will not make you unable to live.
But once there is a shortage of food, it is a question of survival.
People living in the city are the most anxious, and the phenomenon of arranging grains has been staged. The supermarkets have emptied rice, salt and other commodities, including canned food, instant noodles and other long-term stored foods are being scrambled.
I have always wanted to stimulate public consumption and I don’t know what to do. Everyone is unwilling to spend money. Those who want to spend money are not enough. If you have some money, try to save up to be needed. The upper limit of consumption for the rich is there. It is impossible to eat thirty meals a day.
The incident of the solar storm has been exposed, but it has greatly stimulated consumption, and those who save money for emergency needs are not stingy at this time.
Consumption goes up instead!
The country actually has emergency plans in this regard, that is, how to deal with solar storms in advance, how to avoid negative effects, and how to use them to play a positive role.
There is no doubt that stimulating consumption is a positive effect of solar storms.
After being shaken out by dozens of scientists in Europe and the United States, the emergency response team immediately activated the emergency plan. The food necessities previously stored were all opened at this time, and the country's developed logistics system was quickly operating.
A large number of daily necessities such as grain, firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. were quickly delivered to major supermarkets to ensure sufficient supply, to ensure that the short-term brutal price surge would not be driven by the panic buying boom, and to stabilize prices.
This is the result of precautionary preparations. At this time, the "granary" is opened to stimulate consumption and stimulate rapid economic development, because it is still too early to arrive before the solar storm.
Now is the time for the whole people to take their heads. When the craze is over, everyone will not be so impulsive to consume.
So I saw the shelves of some big supermarkets in some cities that were emptied yesterday. They are full again today and emptied again today. There are a lot of goods in the warehouse. They will be put on the shelves soon after they are closed at night and will be consumed tomorrow. Visitors entering the supermarket will find that the shelves are full again.
The advantage of taking precautions in advance is that you can effectively use the anticipation of solar storms to play a positive role, and bad things can be turned into good things. Companies get more orders, squeezed inventory is digested, and consumers even looted Nor is it possible to sweep goods far beyond the actual value of the goods.
For example, if you buy ten bags of rice and store it back, as long as you don’t buy it at ten times the price, but at a reasonable market price, it’s all okay, and consumers won’t regret it.
When consumption goes up, employment goes up, and the economy also recycles.
Therefore, we have seen that the whole people are buying and buying frantically, and the relevant departments have not yet come out to intervene, because the prices of food necessities are very stable, as expected, and the panic buying will fade in a few days.
As for the price speculation of some products, for example, the price of microwave ovens has risen by 80% a day. This is fine, and does not affect the overall stability. Proper speculation is the lubricant of the economy, just like the capital market also requires the existence of hot money. The hot money market will not be active, and there will be stagnant water.

"Master, there are five minutes left for the video conference."
In response to Xiaona’s reminder, Luo Sheng also ended the discussion with Qin Weimu on the financial capital market. This video conference was conducted by the storm response team on food issues and economic stability issues. Luo Sheng mostly listened.
In the private office, the big screen was lit up after Luo Sheng came in, and the video screens of all participants were successfully connected.
The meeting was held on time.
"The problem of solar storms is not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, it greatly promotes the strategy of revitalizing the rural economy. The largest impact of the storm is in the metropolis, where there is a shortage of food. It is necessary to transport food from various places and daily necessities to cities for transportation. Costs will be pushed up, including other costs, including unemployed problems, urban security, etc., which will eventually reflect the substantial increase in the cost of maintaining the operation of the city."
"The best way to alleviate urban pressure is to distribute the population to rural areas across the country to digest it. The impact of solar storms on rural areas is minimal, or even negligible. Rural households can grow their own food and grow their own food. It won’t be significantly affected. At most, there will be less entertainment."
"The city is very different. The concentration of people, the shutdown of factories, and the large-scale water and power cuts have caused great troubles in daily life. Fortunately, the city is very mobile, and many people have a hometown. At this time, we should encourage everyone to return to their hometowns. Development can not only revitalize the rural economy, but also ease the cost and expenditure of urban operations. Not to mention, when the urban population drops, the transportation cost of food transportation can be greatly reduced."
The video conference has begun. The speaker is named Yu Zhengping. He is a heavyweight scholar and a leading figure in the field of rural cultural economics. He is also the research scholar who understands rural economics and culture best in the country. .
Luo Sheng now basically plays the role of an attendee, and more of them are in the audience. This is not his main area of ​​responsibility, but Luo Sheng obviously also plays a key role in the overall solar storm prevention plan. of.
At this time, another participant said:
The migration of the population from the metropolis to rural areas across the country cannot be enforced. The key is to let everyone see opportunities for development in the countryside, so that everyone spontaneously returns home. ."
Yu Zhengping nodded in agreement, and said again: "Now there are many factors that hinder the development of rural economy. For example, the current social ideology is that he wants you to leave your hometown, and your parents have worked so hard for you to study in college to leave your hometown. Get a foothold in the city. Now everyone is making money and doing what, farming to produce food is the least profitable, and it is also the least profitable or even negative. If you go back to the village to develop, you will be considered as promising. Out of breath with high blood pressure."
Talking about Yu Zhengping's helplessness and laughed at himself, everyone at the meeting also laughed lowly. Yu Zhengping continued: "The food security issue cannot be tackled alone. Comprehensive measures must be taken. In the past, despite our low productivity level, We rely on organizational capabilities and a complete system to ensure food security."
"Once the major villages receive the influx of urban population, they must confirm the main body responsible for food security, and ensure that the localized food security must at least ensure the basic food security of their own villages. The basic food and drink problems can be solved without external procurement."
"In other words, the real storage of grain in the village will not lead to catastrophic consequences of major food security. If a natural disaster or a major accident occurs, it is all waiting for the state to adjust the grain. What if the disaster is a bit more serious? What if the road is blocked and cannot be sent? The people waiting for the rations are waiting to be fed. This kind of thing can no longer be said to happen at any time. The time of the solar storm is just around the corner."
Everyone nodded silently, and Yu Zhengping finally added: "The other is to mobilize the urban public to participate in agriculture. The society needs hard work. At present, citizens in major cities are rushing to buy daily necessities, indicating that they have this kind of food security crisis. Consciousness, if this is the case, why don’t you plan ahead? Why don’t you keep a certain amount of food in your home?"
"If there are preparations in advance, then it will not be a temporary holdover. The rush to buy money may not be able to buy, resulting in a shortage of goods and a series of negative factors. This time, if the country had not prepared for it, I would not dare to imagine prices. How far will it soar? The ordinary people spend more than ten times the normal price for a bag of salt and a bag of rice. The damage to the economy and the increase in the polarization between the rich and the poor are incalculable."
Luo Sheng silently scratched the back of his neck, without saying a word, as if he was the richest man present.
The core point of today’s meeting is how to solve the impact of the solar storm on the metropolis. It is important to know that if the entire city loses water and electricity for a week in a metropolis, among other things, the paralysis of a sewage system will make the entire city. The smell is so ridiculous that the size of the population in a big city is tens of millions or even tens of millions.
The current solution to the solar storm is to reduce the size of the urban population. Where can those who leave the city go? The place where they can receive them is their hometown, the villages with branches all over the country.
But here comes the problem. Because there are not too many development opportunities in rural areas, people are desperately squeezing into big cities.
Therefore, the core essence of the problem is to make rural areas have a promising future, so as to attract people, especially young people, to return to their hometowns. Naturally, the population will flow back from the big cities, thus solving the operating costs of the big cities and saving the society as a whole. Operating costs.
When the solar storm comes, there is no reason to be afraid, but the whole people can calmly look up at the starry sky to see a rare auroral beauty that is rare in a thousand years.
