Chapter 547 545 Supermarket

"I don't know. It wasn't like this when I picked you up this morning."

The shopkeeper looked at the other side of the park and said.

He also felt strange that there was obviously something going on with such a battle there.

"It must be some big shot coming, right?"

Li Baosheng judged: "I guess I can't find out now. I'll find out when the big shot leaves."

"By the way, has our loan application been approved?"

Li Baosheng asked.

"The payment has already been made, in full directly."

The shopkeeper said: "However, people from the Finance and Taxation Bureau came yesterday and asked us to exchange the ticket books. They said that the Finance and Taxation Department will replace them uniformly next year, reminding us to use up the unused ones as soon as possible."

"Um."

Li Baosheng responded.

"Also, in the new city outside Jinshan City, a newly built large supermarket has opened. It is called a supermarket. The goods in it are very comprehensive, and there are also some goods that are rarely seen on the market. On the opening day, there were 20 motorcycles. Take it out for sale and there will be a huge crowd of people!”

The shopkeeper told him about the latest news in Jinshan County.

"Qixing Supermarket?"

Li Baosheng asked.

This is also a subsidiary of Qixing Group and a proper state-owned enterprise.

"Yes, if we can open a supermarket like this..."

The shopkeeper said enviously.

Li Baosheng shook his head: "They are state-owned enterprises, they have a lot of energy and a wide range of products, how can we compete with them!

Just for motorcycles, people can get them to sell, but we can’t even buy them if we want to ride them ourselves. "

The shopkeeper nodded: "That's what the boss said."

The resources that state-owned enterprises can control are not comparable to those of private enterprises.

"Let's go to the cafeteria to eat something first, and then we'll take a look around."

Li Baosheng took the shopkeeper to the canteen of the market.

Inside were steamed big steamed buns that had just come out of the cage. Li Baosheng took two big meat buns and ate them while leading the shopkeeper around the market.

The hardware market is not only Li Baosheng's warehouses and stores, but also some small merchants attached to his wings. These small merchants also deal with individual customers, and the prices are more expensive than the wholesale ones here.

When these small merchants saw Li Baosheng, they all greeted him warmly and politely.

"Dashan! Come here!"

When we arrived at the market warehouse, there were dozens of large trucks parked on the road.

The two trucks at the front were unloading.

Li Baosheng noticed that one of the men, who was more than two and a half meters tall and as strong as an iron tower, was carrying hardware weighing several kilograms and moved it into the warehouse with flying steps. His speed was much faster than the forklift next to him. too much!

The shopkeeper waited for Dashan to put down the goods in the warehouse, then waved to him.

When the mountain ran over, it even brought a gust of wind, like a locomotive hitting it, full of oppression!

Li Baosheng couldn't help but feel scared in his heart.

"Da Shan, recognize me. This is the owner of our hardware market. Call me Boss!"

The shopkeeper was not afraid of him at all and opened his mouth to speak to him.

"Master! Thank you for being willing to take me in!"

Dashan smiled naively and scratched the back of his head.

Li Baosheng felt a little relieved when he saw his appearance. He was probably not a bad monster, a monster who had just become a spirit and had a very simple mind.

There are many such monsters that come to human society every year.

Nowadays, people in towns close to mountains, especially those close to spiritually strong mountains, are no longer surprised by these monsters.

Li Baoshan stretched out his hand, but couldn't reach Dashan's arm, so he patted Dashan's arm instead: "You don't need to thank me. If you have this ability, you can do well anywhere."

"I don't want to fight and kill, and I'm uneducated. With this strength, I feel most comfortable working for my employer.

If necessary, I can transform into my original form, and I can carry a whole truckload of cargo at once! "

Dashan said, patting his chest.

"I know this. The mountain turned into a prototype before, just like a small mountain, no smaller than a truck like this!"

The shopkeeper said with praise.

"Okay, Dashan, do your best, I will definitely not treat you badly here."

Li Baosheng smiled and said: "Go to work."

In fact, in order to prevent disputes, these monsters registered with the yamen will be paid attention to by the yamen even if they do things outside. If Li Baosheng really causes disputes and accidents because of his harsh treatment of monsters, then by then After investigation, it was definitely enough for him to drink a pot!

He watched from the side and saw that Dashan was not sneaky at all in his work, he was very efficient, and he was even more hard-working and uncomplaining than human employees.

Li Baosheng felt very satisfied.

"Boss Li, what's going on over there in the park? Do you know?"

Someone asked the driver on the roadside.

"That's right, we just came here to bring goods, and we couldn't get in at all. We were blocked, and parking was not allowed on the main road over there, so we had to turn to your side and occupy your land."

"I don't know how long we have to wait?"

The drivers were smoking and anxious.

"You don't have passes, right? I just saw that everyone with passes was put in."

Li Baosheng said.

"I think some big shots are coming. This kind of control shouldn't last long. Don't worry, just wait here. I guess it won't take you much time."

A driver said: "It's not a matter of passes. Only cars from certain factories in the park are allowed in."

"Boss, this is the purchase order."

The shopkeeper handed a purchase receipt to Li Baosheng.

Li Baosheng glanced at it, frowned and said, "The prices of this batch of copper pipes, aluminum pipes, and these nuts have increased a bit."

"Yes, the unit prices of many items have been adjusted."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "It's because the price of raw materials has increased."

"The price of raw materials has just increased, and the price of the electrolytic aluminum I hauled has also increased."

said a driver.

“Not only these, but even daily necessities such as bread, steamed buns, and cloth have increased in price recently.

For example, the price of cloth, except for blue sky cloth, has increased. Buying cotton-padded clothes in winter this year will be much more expensive than last year. "

"Where can I find something that doesn't increase in price now?"

"I feel pretty good. Our salary just increased in the second half of the year, and now we can get 4,000 yuan a month..."

"Yes, the price of things has increased, so our prices have also increased, hahahaha!"

Drivers are also skilled workers, and the wages they receive in society are already above average.

"From my point of view, if you make money, don't keep depositing it in the bank. It's not like loaning out loan money and you can still earn interest.

It’s more practical to put it in than to buy it! One thousand coins could buy a bicycle, but by next year I will probably only be able to buy a bicycle wheel. "

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but said: "That's an exaggeration. It's not as exaggerated as what you said. If you keep a thousand coins in the bank for a year, you will lose a hundred cents in purchasing power. Don't spend all day in the bank." That's how it sounds to scare people!"

"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Sun, you are a cultural person, you are right."

When the driver saw shopkeeper Sun talking, he quickly said something like a donkey.

In fact, although they complain about rising prices, their own income has increased even more, and rising prices have not affected their lives.

Moreover, with the strict control of the government, the grain warehouses built in various places are guaranteed, the food and salt that sustain the people's survival, and the coal and blue sky cloth that ensure the people's heating. These necessities of life are also price-controlled items and have not increased like other items.

"Rumble, rumble..."

A rumbling sound came from overhead. The drivers who were chatting looked up curiously and saw a helicopter flying over at low altitude, heading towards the interior of the park.

Many of them had never seen a helicopter before, and they were all astonished as if they were looking at a zoetrope.

In the park, Ruan Tang is visiting and inspecting.

She came to visit as the chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry, but the treatment she received was obviously not that of a chief engineer. Officials from Chujiang Province and Jinshan County came over, and the maintenance level was completely based on the queen's status.

Being followed by so many people made Ruan Tang feel a little uncomfortable when he entered the workshop.

However, as she walked in the workshop and solved some problems that the company could not solve, the officials following her also respected the queen even more!

As rumored, this queen has a huge contribution to the start and development of Qi's industry and the people of Qi's ability to live a life of adequate food and clothing!

"Now that you are here, do you still have any difficulties?"

After the visit, Ruan Tang met with the person in charge of the park and some business owners who had settled in the park in the conference room.

“The imperial court’s policies are very good, and the government is taking good care of us. Our factory building here went very smoothly, and there are no major problems now.

There is only one problem: our factory is a big consumer of electricity, and we don’t know whether the park can meet our power supply. "

A young man who looked very young, but had some military flavor about him stood up and said.

"I can tell you this."

An official from the park said: "When you came, we must have told you that the power plant here is also one of the park's supporting facilities. Facing the park, the annual power generation capacity is 10 million kWh, which is enough to support the enterprises in the park. Production.

Moreover, we are also building new power plants, so you don’t have to worry about that. "

"Okay, thank you, chief engineer, thank you Mr. Zhang, I have no problem."

The young man finished speaking and sat down.

Ruan Tang listened to several questions in a row and realized that most of the questions asked were arranged by the park, and she did not need to answer the questions. These park officials all answered fluently.

She felt that there was no need to continue asking. The accompanying Propaganda Department officials had enough photo material. According to today's security level, staying here would affect the production of various factories, so she ended today's trip.

The motorcade returned to the guest house, and she changed into ordinary clothes and went out.

"Mother, where are we going?"

Wang Shu asked excitedly.

When she followed Ren Pingsheng out, she still felt a little restrained.

Following Ruan Tang, he became more active.

In her eyes, the empress is obviously easier to get along with.

"Let's just wander around and feel the fireworks in the world. When I came here last time, I felt that the food in Jinshan City was much more delicious."

Ruan Tang was wearing a pair of black deerskin boots, a black coat, a turtleneck sweater underneath, and a light gray round hat on his head. His long hair was pulled into a beautiful bun with strands of hair. hang down.

"My dear, when I went to the park today, what was that big, thick, long chimney with white smoke coming out of it that I saw?"

Wang Shu asked about the things she saw today that made her curious in private.

"That is the condensing tower of the power plant. When the power plant generates electricity, steam is usually used to drive the turbine to rotate and generate electricity, and the steam is cooled in this condensing tower and flows back into the boiler."

Ruan Tang gave her some popular science.

In the Chujiang Industrial Park, in addition to some private enterprises, there are also several state-owned enterprises.

These were all heavy industrial enterprises in the past.

Such as Chujiang Steel Plant for smelting steel, Chujiang Machinery for manufacturing engineering machinery, Chujiang Branch of Qixing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant for building aircraft parts, Chujiang Branch of Qixing Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, etc.

The commissioning of these enterprises represents that Qi's heavy industry has once again reached a new level.

It is like putting a new engine on Qi's plane, which can fly faster and more steadily.

"Due to the increase in raw material prices, the price of meat buns has increased by 1.5 wen per basket."

When you walk into the bun shop opposite the Xicheng County Government Office, you will see a price increase notice posted on red paper in a prominent position.

"Boss, this is the second time you've raised the price of your buns this year. The last time it was raised by more than half a cent."

After the customer sat down, he chatted with the bun shop owner.

"There's nothing I can do. Prices are rising fast now. Even pork has gone up in price. I can't help it. If I don't raise the price, I'll lose money."

The bun shop owner also said helplessly.

Fortunately, the price increase of meat buns was understandable to everyone, and it didn't affect the sales of the store too much.

"When we were purchasing in the palace, the prices of many items have also risen a bit recently."

At Ruan Tang's request, Wang Shu sat next to her and said in a low voice.

"Now, with the continuous development of Yinshan Silver Mine, Bowan Silver Mine, Dongluo Gold Mine and Da Yin Mine, and the large amount of our industrial products going overseas, we bring back a lot of silver and gold from overseas, and the paper money we issue is constantly rising, which has caused inflation.

However, our central bank also has regulation on this, and with the continuous production of a large number of our industrial products, the increasing supply of goods in the market will not cause vicious inflation.

In addition, in the current social production, people's income growth is faster than inflation. Moderate inflation will increase consumption and make economic development more dynamic."

Ruan Tang explained to Wang Shu.

Wang Shu nodded.

Although she was one of Ren Pingsheng's secretaries, she had no research on economics, and she didn't understand what he said at this time.

"Can I sit here?"

Just when the buns were served, a young man in a black cloak came into the store, looked around the room, and approached Ruan Tang's table. But before he got close, a plainclothes guard stood up: "Brother, sit at my table, I still have an empty seat here." (End of this chapter)
