Chapter 224 Let them go bankrupt
Wang Junpeng estimated that under the government's planned economy, the increase in daily necessities will not be too much. No matter how much the price increases, it is impossible to create cohesion if people starve to death. But the first batch of rising prices must be these mild luxury goods, and they will not die if they don't need them.
He quickly purchased several baskets of supplies, plus clothes, and so on, and bought his own limit.
In the Earth Age, a flexible system of planned economy is adopted. Since the means of production are shared, the total amount of materials produced is produced by big data. In order to encourage everyone to be frugal and shop reasonably, the prices of all goods are in a step-by-step manner. The more the same goods are bought in a certain period of time, the more expensive the price.
The first step is the normal price, the second step rises by 20%, the third step rises by 40%, and so on.
When Wang Junpeng bought the price at the 60% increase, he decided to stop. At this time, all kinds of miscellaneous things combined, more than 20,000 yuan, and several large bags were filled. He swiped the card on the drone for a long time.
People around him had already heard strange gazes. Did you buy too much of this guy?
Even if you have to store some goods while it is cheap, you don’t have to buy so much.
Someone was still muttering, should I buy more, too...
Now they buy things, they store them and use them themselves, which is understandable. But if they really become dissatisfied, it seems that they are not suitable...
Wang Junpeng bit the bullet and said that he had just bought a little more, so what happened? Is it still illegal?
He secretly strengthened his determination, "Aren't you buying the same thing? You laugh at others 50 steps, and you are still laughing at others here? Even if I buy it, it's nothing, right?"
However, a 20,000 yuan reserve is definitely not enough, and no matter how much you have to earn more, you have to spend more than 100,000 yuan.
But my personal limit has been overspent, what should I do?
Wang Junpeng's eyes turned and soon came up with another idea, which could borrow the credit limit of other friends...
At worst, everyone can cooperate.
That fool Xu Jie refused to support him, and there was always someone who would support him in the face of interests.
Just like that, a week passed quickly...
Earth Age is still moving at high speed in orbit to reduce the probability of being targeted by enemy missiles. The opposite civilization seems to have entered a state of silence. Perhaps the other party has observed the scene of the nuclear bomb being sucked in by high-dimensional debris and is evaluating the strength of both sides; or perhaps there is no such super rocket, and it cannot launch an attack for the time being.
Both sides are brewing their next wave of offensives.
The pressure in this silence seems to be the tranquility before the storm.
In the past few days, the top leaders of the entire human civilization are nervously allocating various planned tasks. Zhang Yuan has 24 hours a day and can only rest for three or four hours. He communicates with the surface base, communicates with scientists, and produces some small weapons, which is so busy.
Some production lines have been urgently dispatched to the weapons manufacturing industry. Especially for the production of small electromagnetic guns, if some parts are produced using heavy metal 3D printers, several can be urgently assembled to get rid of the current dilemma of no combat capability.
The propaganda department is carrying out overwhelming public opinion propaganda and mobilizing war.
But on the other hand, there has been a strange chaos among the people, with enthusiastic donations on one hand and chaos in the buying of goods on the other hand.
Many people's enthusiasm for work has increased significantly, and the number of donations is also very enthusiastic. Some people are even willing to contribute half of their salary to help the entire civilization overcome difficulties!
The money here is not just a number, it also means purchasing power and government credit. After donating, it is equivalent to voluntarily reducing the quality of life.
On the other hand, there is a wave of buying material resources.
On the first day after the news broadcast, the supermarket was still in normal order. There were not many people buying supplies on a large scale. The amount of purchases for everyone was spontaneously limited. Anyway, it was enough to use it yourself...
But on the second day and the third day, the number of people rushing to buy began to increase sharply. With the leadership of some people, a herd effect was soon formed, causing a large number of people to follow the trend and start rushing to rush to the crowd.
There were even some rumors in the market saying that "when war is going to go, prices will inevitably rise." Some private experts have a reasonable and well-founded analysis and even listed all the things that may rise!
As a result, after hearing this, everyone rushed forward without hesitation.
All kinds of noisy buyers are like locusts, buying almost all the things in the supermarket, which has seriously affected their normal life!
Anyway, in people's minds, there is no harm in buying more things!
Although the government has repeatedly guaranteed that these supplies will not be cut off, the panic caused by this herd effect will not disappear with just a few guarantees. Even if the purchase restriction order is introduced, there are still fewer porridges and more monks, and some people even complain online that they can't buy things.
After reading this report, Zhang Yuan was both angry and funny. They worked hard in front of him and the soldiers were training urgently. The workers on the planet worked overtime all day long, and the rear was inexplicably rioted!
“Is life so comfortable?”
In fact, capturing a few typical examples to intimidate ordinary people can temporarily suppress this problem, but using power politics to solve it is unsustainable. It is better not to use it randomly. At least so far, it has not reached this level.
"It's a donation again, a robbery again... the people are really a contradictory group."
"So, now there are not even relevant laws and regulations, and our policies still have considerable loopholes... including the planned economy under special circumstances, there are also some loopholes." Captain Zhao frowned and sighed.
“About the legal staffing issues…”
Several legal experts also blushed slightly. Many of their laws were copied from the earth and there were no changes.
But Earth civilization is a big society with a population of hundreds of billions and spanning multiple planets. Earth Age is just a small society with a population of 500,000. The gap in scale will cause the speed of panic spreading differently.
But if these things haven't happened, it's really hard to think about this in advance.
At this moment, the Minister of the Propaganda Department said: "In fact, it's not a big problem. Let the people from the TV station solve this problem... It just so happened that our soldiers came back. When being interviewed, you can use the common sense of cosmic wars to spread the knowledge."
"It's an emergency now. Instead of forcing people to arrest people and causing panic, it's better to use public opinion propaganda."
Zhang Yuan nodded and agreed: "In fact, we cannot just see the appearance... There are more people who do not participate in the looting than those who participate in the looting. More people actually hope that society will be stable and that we can win this war."
"Many people have no bad intentions, but they are driven by a few self-righteous guys. Human beings are always in the same way..."
Immediately afterwards, there was a hint of murderous aura in his eyes: "The legal system must also be improved quickly... As for those speculative businessmen, it is better to teach them a lesson or even make them bankrupt than to arrest them directly!"
