Chapter 249 Exchanging the "Monthly Pass"
The boss is indeed a food stamp seller, but this time he went to Beijing, he was indeed T+
Food stamps were cancelled, but farmers encountered a new thing called IOUs. The market is vindicated, but the economy is manipulated by new powers. The inflation that occurred last year, in essence, should be called inflation. A large number of government officials began to speculate in real estate, stocks, and futures, forming a large number of money lords that were more destructive than material lords.
After the two sessions last year, the goal of a market economy had just been established, so that the economic situation continued the excitement of the previous year with inflation. By the end of last year, the price of food in the market had risen in a straight line, rising rapidly from south to north. The price of high-quality rice rose by about 1 yuan per catty, the price of ordinary rice also rose by about 50 cents, and the prices of other grains also rose accordingly.
In fact, last year's agricultural harvest was bumper, and the total grain output hit a record high. However, during the grain purchase period of the previous year, a large number of IOUs prevented grain farmers from realizing their income after a year of hard work, which led to a decline in the enthusiasm of grain farmers to grow and sell grain.
Local governments have issued IOUs to farmers, and discontent has emerged in many rural areas. The main reason for the IOU phenomenon is that there are a lot of fund-raising and apportionment. At that time, the people's cause, the people's business, became a very popular phrase. Government departments and cadres often used it as a reason to collect money and send labor from farmers, and farmers complained that they could not do enough. For the affairs of the people, the money that is given to the people cannot be collected.
Looking at the problem from the standpoint of farmers, the way of letting food stamps out of history is disgraceful, because food stamps were once replaced by IOUs that were harsher on farmers.
The reason for IOUs for farmers is that last year, the fixed asset investment of the whole society exceeded the 700 billion yuan mark, and a large amount of funds for the purchase of policy-based agricultural and sideline products were transferred or borrowed. When the peak season for agricultural and sideline product purchases came, the funds could not be returned in time. This is the phenomenon of IOUs an important background.
Behind the IOU phenomenon is the overall macroeconomic inflation pattern.
Five days after the abolition of food stamps, the country raised the bank interest rate, which has already shown the central government's strong vigilance against the danger of inflation. High-end imported home appliances rose by more than a thousand yuan overnight, and the prices of domestic washing machines and other home appliances also jumped by 20% to 30%.
In June last year, high-level officials estimated that the economic situation was becoming more and more serious. On June 2, the term used in the speech was embryonic. On the 15th, it was renamed contradictions and problems. On the 19th, it further emphasized prominent contradictions and problems. Boss Zhu himself became the governor of the central bank, and the bank began to recover the loans it issued.
By the end of July, 30 billion yuan of borrowed funds had been recovered, and savings of 40 billion yuan had been added. With this as a reserve, the bank can issue tens of billions of yuan to buy summer grain. Someone bought treasury bills again, the Ministry of Finance no longer asked banks to borrow money to pay wages, and the stock market also stopped falling and stabilized.
It was under such circumstances that the old man came out to buy food stamp land.
Because the food stamps have been invalidated at this time. But there are still a lot of food stamps in stock. Especially in many poorly informed areas. People still carefully collect food stamps as hard currency. Don't waste a bit. As a result, it has now become waste paper.
The purchase price is naturally very low. Take any small thing. You can receive the food stamps that could not be exchanged for hundreds of dollars in the past. Some people even don't care how much their food stamps are worth. This kind of thing can't be used nowadays. It's quite disturbing to stay at home. As long as someone wants it. Naturally, he made a quick move.
"Then you all know that food stamps can no longer be used. Why do you need to buy so many food stamps?" Zi Qi asked with some doubts.
said the old man with a sigh. "The IOUs that have been collected for a year at home can't be cashed. I really have no money. Later, I met a Beijinger who said that although the food stamps can no longer be used now, they are valuable for collection. As long as they are complete in variety and good in appearance. It can be sold at a high price. I was a little moved after hearing it. So I thought about it. I spent a year buying food stamps in the streets and alleys of various places. I arrived in Beijing this month. I went to find that person. The result is according to I looked for the place he said. I only found a park. There was no such place at all. That's when I knew I was deceived!"
The old man is still a little bit unwilling to give up. I wandered around Beijing for a while. Go to some antique markets and ask people. As a result, food stamps have just been abolished. There are too many food stamps in everyone's hands. Who will take this thing? By a few days to hit. The old man has all the thoughts of looking for death. In a trance today. He knocked down Fan Wubing's car.
"Hi. So that's what happened." Fan Wubing shook his head. The old man Xindao is also very pitiful.
The harm of such things as IOUs is indeed quite great. This can be regarded as a Chinese characteristic, but it is a phased product. In the next few years, although there are not many things about IOUs, other alternatives have emerged. Anyway, It's an endless hassle.
As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and some things at the local level, the central government has nothing to do.
Although these things are wrong, if you want to deal with them, it will involve a large number of people.
It's only a year since the snake sheds its skin, it's very unacceptable to cash out the previous white stripes
Under such circumstances, the old man took the risk to invest in food stamps. In principle, he was right. The only thing wrong was that he didn't understand one thing, that is, time is the biggest help for a collection. After a certain period of time, food stamps may become a popular collection in everyone's eyes.
This is just like the dragon ticket back then. At the beginning, everyone just spent money to buy the dragon ticket and stick it on the envelope. Who would have thought that the price of this thing would rise to sky-high prices in the future? Even those who were lucky enough to use the first batch of postage stamps in the world, few people would have such awareness, right?
Fan Wubing carefully looked through the food stamps collected by the old man, and found that there were quite a variety of them. Unfortunately, it is not yet the time for this market to rise, so he said to the old man, "Old man, this thing will be valuable in the future." , but it’s not worth a penny now, wait ten or twenty years, these things may be worth a lot of money.”
Hearing Fan Wubing's words, the old man was also a little disappointed. He recently walked around the city of Beijing several times and asked many people. Everyone said this, but if it takes ten or twenty years, people will I have starved to death a long time ago, and the problems at home cannot be solved. Is there still a chance to wait for such a long time, waiting for the food stamps to rise in value?
Besides, who can predict what will happen twenty years later?
Seeing that a pile of food stamps was like waste paper, and he was lying in the hospital again, the old man was really desperate.
Seeing the old man like this, Zi Qi felt a lot of sympathy, so she pulled Fan Wubing and said, "How about I help him?"
"How to help?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.
Ziqi said to Fan Wubing, "It's fate that we met each other. Although these food stamps are worthless, it is very hard for the old man to collect so many. I think these colorful things are very interesting. Why don't I spend money to buy them?" After buying things, the old man can be considered as relieved."
When the old man heard Zi Qi say this, he obviously wanted to help himself. After all, how can these food stamps be worth much now? So he said with some embarrassment, "Girl, let me be fooled, and I must not let others be fooled again! You kindly sent me to the hospital, and it is not easy to spend money to treat me. How can I treat these useless things again?" Selling your stuff to you is absolutely unacceptable!"
Fan Wubing was a little noncommittal at this time, because he knew that these food stamps would be worth a lot of money after a few years, but they are really worthless now, so how to choose depends on what kind of opinion the old man and Zi Qi reach in the end .
The old man always disagreed with Ziqi's payment. He said, "I can give these things to you, but I can't sell them to you! My old man has lived most of his life, so I still know about it. How can you repay your kindness with revenge?"
Finally, Fan Wubing coughed and said to the old man, "Old man, these things can still be worth a little money in the future, but they are really worthless now. That's all right, you take out one side and give it to this girl. She gave you 10,000 yuan as an exchange. In this way, we won't feel that we have taken too much advantage, and you won't suffer because of it. I still suggest you keep the remaining food stamps for ten or twenty years If you sell it after a year, at least you can make a fortune for your grandchildren."
"Will it really be worth money in the future? You didn't say that on purpose to comfort the old man, did you?" the old man asked in disbelief.
"Really, I don't look like a fool, do you?" Fan Wubing said solemnly.
In the end, Ziqi ran out to get 10,000 yuan and gave it to the old man, then arranged for a doctor to connect the old man's bones, and finally arranged for the hospitalization, and then left the hospital with Fan Wubing.
Zi Qi took half of the food stamps, which seemed to weigh more than ten catties, and threw the heavy bag into Fan Wubing's compartment, not seeming to care at all.
"These are all money, why do you throw them away?" Fan Wubing laughed.
Zi Qi replied with a smile, "My salary is not low. What's the use of these things? I just want to let the old man take the money with peace of mind. If you want it, give it to you."
Fan Wubing rolled his eyes and said, "I have a grudge against this, you should keep it to yourself."
Zi Qi looked at Fan Wubing, wondering why he was resentful about this, but she didn't ask further, but Fan Wubing said to her again, "These things can really add value, I just looked at it , a lot of the food stamps inside will be very valuable, so you should put them away carefully. I reckon that after ten years, it will still be possible to change you to a villa."
"Really?" Ziqi asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's true, if you can't change the villa, I'll give you one for nothing.
"Fan Wubing patted his chest and assured.
