#1311 Profiteer Character

A city in Guangdong Province.

In mid-March, the climate in the south is warm. Although it is the evening now, for those who live here, this time is a good time to go out and the temperature is suitable, so it is very suitable for shopping, eating, walking and chatting.

However, in recent days, the streets have gradually become deserted, and today it is even more extreme. Seventy percent of the shops on the street are not open.

Not only are most of the shops closed, but there are many fewer pedestrians walking on the street. There are occasional passers-by who walk very fast, and they seem to be deliberately maintaining a little distance between them.

Many people wear masks, but most of them are cheap disposable masks, as well as the popular cotton medical masks of the last century. People hope that this kind of masks will help them resist the spread of the infectious virus outside, but they don't know it. Masks are actually useless against the virus.

However, even such masks are sold out.

On the cold side of the street, there was only one pharmacy that was doing very well, and there was a long queue at the door, but this kind of long queue was long, but the density was not large, and everyone automatically kept a certain distance from the people in the front and back. There is a huge red poster on the door, which reads: Banlangen is the latest arrival, only 120 yuan / bag, the number is limited, welcome to buy!

The people lining up are all heading towards Banlangen.

Originally, everyone wanted to rush in to buy, but two clerks wearing masks kept blocking and demanding that these people line up.

Similar situations are common in Guangdong Province, in neighboring provinces, and even all over the country. People know that the virus is coming, and everyone is worried. Now the only thing that can bring them a sense of security is the rumors that they can resist the virus. If you get the things you want, your heart will be more relaxed; if you can't get them, your heart will always hang.

A middle-aged woman walked out of the pharmacy, holding a pack of Banlangen in her hand, both happy and distressed.

I'm happy because this granule is said to be able to prevent that kind of infectious disease, but what's distressing is that this thing is more than 20 times more expensive than the usual price. In the past, a large package like this would cost five yuan. Now it's 120 for the opening. If you don't bargain, you won't buy a lot. Each person is only allowed to buy one box.

She was lucky enough to be in the first place. No matter what, she had already bought a box. She felt a lot of relief. There were 25 small packets in a large bag of Banlangen. , it's only enough for eight days, you still have to find a way to buy some more.

At this time, people who were still queuing outside saw her coming out with Banlangen, and asked her from afar, "Excuse me, does this store have a lot of stock?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "I don't know too much, but I heard that there are not many, so each person is only allowed to buy one bag, and it depends on the ID card."

"What? To see an ID card?" The woman who asked her suddenly became anxious, and many other people in the queue stomped their feet anxiously: "I don't have an ID card, what should I do?"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, just leave an ID number without an ID card, and they need to register it."

The others finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the fact that this store had Banlangen, who would risk queuing up on the street, if they couldn't buy it, they would be crying.

The entire Guangdong Province has long fallen into this panic.

Before today, there had been various rumors about SARS in Guangdong Province. After countless transfers and reprocessing, the rumors had spread a little evil, and they have always caused people to panic. Today, things seem to be It has risen to a new level, because YY released a blockbuster news today, making everyone truly realize that the epidemic is coming, and it is coming, and even the WHO has issued a global warning. This is the World Health Organization, and Chinese people have always There is an inexplicable sense of authority over the organization that begins with "World".

so,

Today, the wave of panic buying of related materials in Guangdong Province has become more fierce, and the price of the store has also increased inhumanely. Originally, Banlangen can still be bought for eighty or ninety, but today it is directly 120.

A middle-aged man in the team said that one hundred and two is not bad. He lives in the next door a few kilometers away. The pharmacy downstairs of their house sells one hundred and five and has been robbed. He has no choice. I can only go here on a motorcycle to try my luck. I didn't expect it to be available here, and the price of 120 is quite fair.

Too.

When other people heard this, they felt relieved. A bowl of rice was not worth 30 to 50 cents, but when they were dying of starvation, they didn’t feel bad about eating 300 to 500 yuan. Commodities are such a law, and everyone loves it. There is no shortage of it, and you will not buy it for a dime or a ton. When everyone is short of it, you still have to queue up to send money for a dollar a gram.

After the first middle-aged woman who bought Banlangen came out, two more people came out with a large bag of Banlangen. The crowd in the queue asked the same question again and got the same answer.

The middle-aged man who came over by motorcycle sighed again: "Oh, this store really has a conscience, it is much better than the pharmacies in our area, the pharmacy over our house is eager to sell out and collect money and close the door, so some people I asked for a dozen or two packs in one go, and they sold them as well, but no one else could buy them! The team was also lined up in vain, and I was so angry that my wife was just, I heard that there is a pharmacy and Banlangen, I went to line up early in the morning. After waiting in line for more than an hour, it was almost time for her to line up. As a result, a guy took all the remaining 30 packages in one go! She didn't even buy a small package in the end, really It's maddening!"

When he said this, everyone around him nodded.

An old man sighed: "In these days, there are too many profiteers and too few businessmen with integrity. At this time, it is really rare for a store to sell in limited quantities, and each person is limited to one pack, and their prices are cheap, only 120 yuan. , and it is indeed very conscientious.”

"Hey!" a woman sighed: "Everything is going up in price now. Masks usually cost a dime apiece, but now they sell for more than a dollar or two. The 84 disinfectant is even worse, and it's out of stock. I wanted to buy some. 84 I disinfected my home, but I couldn't buy it anywhere. In the end, I could only buy two bottles of white vinegar, which is expensive! Two bottles of white vinegar cost me one hundred and one!"

"Don't mention white vinegar, our house is too. We boil white vinegar in a kettle. That vinegar smell in the whole room! It makes me want to vomit!"

An aunt hurriedly said, "Oh my little sister, you don't understand. White vinegar kills germs by the smell of vinegar. If you breathe more of the boiled water vapor in white vinegar, all germs in your body will be killed!"

"Is it so good?" Someone was obviously skeptical and said, "If you say that 84 can be disinfected, I will definitely admit that, after all, it is a serious disinfectant, but this white vinegar... it is a food seasoning! If it can Sterilize, why not soy sauce?"

"You don't understand!" The aunt said solemnly: "The couple downstairs in my house are both doctors. They said that there is some acetic acid in vinegar, which can really kill bacteria. You can eat stir fry outside. Pho, some shopkeepers who are particular about it put chopsticks in vinegar for sterilization and disinfection, but vinegar is too expensive now, and it is estimated that no one does this anymore.”

"Oh..." The originally skeptical person nodded and said, "It seems that this is the case. I remembered when you said that."

At this moment, an angry roar came from the store: "I lost mine, I just want to buy more if I have money, why don't you sell it? I'll throw it away!"

The female clerk explained something diligently, but the voice was too low to be heard outside.

Clang!

Something in the pharmacy was smashed, and the roar from the store came out again: "Isn't it just money, what I have is money, can I just give you more money? How many Banlangen do you have here? I bought it!"

As soon as these words came out, the outside suddenly exploded.

Someone with a temper roared: "Hey, it's amazing to be rich? Everyone is waiting in line, why do you buy it all? Besides, it's too immoral for a person like you to drive up prices!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a sullen face came out of the pharmacy, pulled out a pile of one hundred yuan in cash from the leather bag under his arm, and said to the man, "Is it illegal to buy something? I'm fucking rich. , can you manage it? I don’t steal, rob, or cheat. Why do you yell at me when I buy things with cash? You also say that I’m driving up the price? Yes, but also to coax a chicken feather! Hurry up and disperse, I want all the Banlangen here today."

After that, the middle-aged man turned around and slapped a stack of banknotes on the cashier counter, and shouted loudly, "It's 20,000 yuan, how much stock is there in your store, give me all of it, if the money is not enough, I will now I called someone to send it over, my family has a great business, and there are many family members and relatives, so I bought it back and used it as tea!"

"you……"

"This……"

Not only the clamoring person outside was stunned, but even the cashier girl was stunned.

Although this guy is arrogant, he is not wrong. He has money and he is willing to pay a high price. Who can stop him? He was also justified when the police came. Besides, most of the people in the queue were women, and there were only a few men. The man who was arguing with him didn't dare to continue arguing with him. , he definitely won't take any advantage, and besides, this person really looks like a local tyrant, and most people are afraid that they can't afford it.

Therefore, everyone's hope can only be pinned on the salesperson.

They hope that the salesperson can maintain the integrity of their store. If they agree to limit the purchase of one bag per person, that is, limit the purchase of one bag per person. If they agree to 120, it is 120.

However, at this time, the salesperson was also a little dumbfounded. She said nonchalantly, "Brother, I have to ask our boss for instructions..."

The man with a sullen face nodded immediately, tapping his fingers on the table continuously, and said, "Please hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

At this time, a few women outside suddenly became nervous and hurriedly said, "Little girl, is it too much for you to temporarily raise prices like this?"

The girl said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you saw it, we're not going to temporarily increase the price, it's just that this customer wants to increase the price..."

"That doesn't work either!" The woman was unhappy and said, "You guys have done this, what about those of us who have been queuing for a long time?"

The girl said very politely, "After all, we are in business. We want to make more money by taking such a big risk, so please be considerate."

Reasonable and reasonable, this kind of polite refusal makes others feel like a punch to cotton, which is more depressing than punching iron...
