There is no doubt that the comprehensive reforms and relatively radical policy opening in 1984 have enabled our country to achieve significant economic achievements.

This year, my country's GDP was 22.661 billion yuan, which was a full 4.3 billion yuan higher than the 18.313 billion yuan GDP in 1983, achieving a rapid growth of more than 20%.

Moreover, the growth part is mainly completed by the secondary industry and the tertiary industry.

This is not only a miraculous report card, but also shows that our country has begun to break through the economic ceiling of a traditional agricultural country and begin to transform and move closer to the economic structure of a modern country.

In fact, the specific effects can be felt most intuitively from the capital’s material supply and market supply.

For example, when it comes to eating.

This year greenhouse vegetables were promoted and the output increased significantly.

A large number of off-season vegetables are supplied to the market, allowing Beijing residents to eat fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and legumes in winter.

For example, meat sausages, cooked food, soy products and wine, which have been in short supply in the past few years, are also partially unsalable this year due to abundant supply.

The supply and demand relationship of tea has completely changed, from short supply to oversupply in one fell swoop.

So this year, many units included tea distribution in their year-end benefits.

From now on, individuals drinking public "welfare tea" will gradually become a social phenomenon that everyone is accustomed to.

In addition, after last year’s hot sales of red skirts and windbreakers.

Winter military coats and Beijing-based local brand "Ililan" down jackets have also triggered a phenomenal trend.

There are also new avant-garde design travel shoes and fashionable sportswear on the market.

There is no doubt that these are fashionable products that teenagers cannot resist.

As for its use, industrial shopping coupons have become the second shopping coupon to be suspended after cloth coupons.

The traditional three-turn and one-ring sound is basically popular in almost all households in Beijing.

The new change on the market is that there are more and more types of soaps, shampoos, shampoo creams, and skin rejuvenation creams.

The popular style of furniture has become modular cabinets, which no longer care about the number of legs, and have begun to climb toward the goal of "Jackie Chan matching". As a result, blended paint has become completely outdated, and carpenters have begun to pursue natural painting and highlight the style of logs.

At this time, the high-end and high-end products in department stores that are rushing to be put on the shelves just for the Spring Festival refer to mohair yarn priced at 34.60 yuan per kilogram, gold jewelry at 64 yuan per gram, small radio cassette players at 118 yuan, and four-speaker dual-SIM products at 491 yuan. A cassette player, a Bailan double-cylinder washing machine for 335 yuan, a 200-liter single-door Snowflake refrigerator for 960 yuan, and a mountain bike for 590 yuan.

In short, except for housing and color TV sets, there are still more wolves than meat, scarce resources that people are desperately fighting for.

In the field of general commodity circulation, abundant and prosperous material supply has begun to take shape.

As a result, no one darned socks anymore, and few people were willing to make clothes for their children.

The business of making bowls has completely disappeared, and the business of mending pots, soldering pots, and repairing pens has also become much bleaker...

This means that the lifestyle of Beijing residents is transforming from subsistence to well-off, from self-sufficiency to commodity, from single to diversified, and from durable to renewed, as expected by the country.

But no matter how good things are, new situations always bring new problems.

Marx once said that from product economy to market economy, this is not an ordinary leap. It is a thrilling jump. If it is not done well, it will fall into an abyss.

There is no doubt that as the economy develops rapidly and the economic structure changes, there will also be negative effects that some countries are unwilling to see and that are difficult to avoid.

For example, the price elasticity of agricultural products is very low. The further expansion of the "scissors gap" and the oversupply of grain production have directly led to a sharp decline in farmers' income.

In addition, the funding for the "five stations and one institute" relied on farmers. As a result, the farmers' prosperous days came to an abrupt end. They inevitably became the most harmed group during this period.

Secondly, the key to reform is to liberalize the market and prices.

But without a large amount of goods, once prices are liberalized, a relatively large amount of money will chase a small amount of goods, causing inflation immediately.

Although the country's top leaders have conducted sufficient research, estimated the consequences, and adopted some measures to prevent and control.

However, the inflation that has continued to occur in recent years has accumulated to a level that cannot be underestimated.

In fact, the purchasing power of 100 yuan in 1984 was only equivalent to 59.8 yuan in 1952.

What's more, the demonstration effect of "making a group of people rich first" has triggered a "nation-wide business craze".

The "corporate craze" caused by the state allowing power to get involved in business last year.

In addition, the banking system has completed the "transfer-to-loan" restructuring, which has left many state-owned enterprise operators unable to change their minds and form a correct understanding.

Even before enterprises in various places become complete market entities, they have no sense of responsibility and will not stop following orders and prohibitions...

These hidden dangers are far from fully manifesting their harmfulness.

Therefore, it was destined that 1985 would be a year in which various interests collided with each other, the people's psychology was unbalanced, and their values ​​were full of confusion.

Of course, preliminary clues of some things can still be reflected from specific life situations.

For example, the village closest to Longkou Village.

The village secretary found an old farmer who was almost simple and honest.

Sitting on the edge of the Kang, I repeatedly explained the policy to them.

They recounted one after another the fees they owed last year and should have been paid long ago.

It's a pity that poverty means poverty. These people smoked dry cigarettes without saying a word, only expressions of helplessness and even numbness.

The village party secretary waited for a long time but no one expressed his position. After thinking about it, he simply gritted his teeth.

"I heard that 'Longkou Village' has set up a construction team in the city. If you can't pay again before the year, I will have to go out and beg others. But no matter what, you have to pay."

Get it right for me."

In front of the fresh meat counter of the "Chongwenmen Vegetable Market", the crowd was furious.

The reason is that the counter has implemented an unprecedented price increase on the butt tip, which is actually 20 cents higher per catty than ordinary pork.

Of course the customers refused to do anything, so they all started to make a fuss.

"Why are you raising prices so randomly? Who gave you the power?"

"Go to the Price Bureau and punish them properly."

"You have such no professional ethics. Where have you thrown your thoughts of serving the people? You don't even care about your conscience for the sake of bonuses..."

The salesperson is the boss who fights with the crowd every day, so how can she be afraid of such a battle?

"Don't make a fuss! Don't make a fuss! I said, don't blame me. What's the price increase? Pork is no longer a product subject to unified purchasing and marketing. The price has long been determined by the market. If you have the ability, just file a lawsuit. It's up to the Price Bureau.

in spite of."

"Don't be ignorant. You can just go around and see where else you can find fresh buttocks besides us. To tell you the truth, the price is the same in other places. But the real good meat is either open the back door or sold.

The big portions are given to various units. Where can you get your turn? That is to say, we deliberately kept these more than ten kilograms. Isn’t this called serving the people?"

"Nowadays, no one likes white pork belly. Everyone likes to eat thin meat. But to whom are these good meats sold and who are not sold to? You can squeeze in front and stuff them randomly. What about the uncles and aunts behind you?

What to do? We’ll let the one with the highest price get it. If you want to buy it, you can buy it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t, we can sell it anyway.”

Yes, this is also a fair statement.

And as he was talking, someone was already calling impatiently from behind.

"If you don't want to buy it, start driving it. Don't occupy the latrine and don't shit. You have been delayed by time. Think of others!"

"Hula", everyone's will began to collapse, some people compromised, and were willing to pay a high price to buy the buttocks...

"Beijing No. 15 Middle School", in the office of the junior high school teaching and research team.

As a class teacher, Chang Xianzhang educates students as painstakingly and thoughtfully as he did when he educated Hong Yanwu.

"Li Xiaohong, do you know your score in this exam?"

"Very good." This girl pretended to be stupid.

"Have you never thought that you could do better in the exam?"

Li Xiaohong, however, showed an attitude of seeing through the world of mortals.

"How can it be better?"

"Why don't you take it seriously?" Chang Xianzhang shook his head sadly.

"You were in the top ten in the last few tests. Why are you almost in the twentieth place this time? Why did your scores drop?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter what you learn. It's time, luck, and fate!"

"What? What?"

Chang Xianzhang couldn't believe it.

Then he said it in a heartbroken tone.

"You are really smart when it comes to being smart, but you just don't put your mind into studying. We are a key city. How difficult is it for you to pass the exam? You are going to take the high school entrance exam this year. Don't you want to be admitted to our high school? Look.

Come on, I have to talk to your parents..."

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaohong was not afraid at all.

"Teacher Chang, I advise you not to put in all the trouble. As my mother said, it's useless to go to college now. It's better to graduate early and work as a waiter in a hotel."

"My dad also said that intellectuals are actually not interesting. A university professor can't earn a hundred yuan."

"Teacher, how much is your salary? Do you think it's exciting to be a teacher?"

Chang Xianzhang was completely shocked. His lips trembled. It took him a long time to grit his teeth and force himself to calm down.
