The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 227 "Smart People"

supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Can I use this to buy things?" An old man with a dark complexion, full of old lines, like withered bark, asked submissively, holding a food stamp in his hand.

"can."

The staff at the counter glanced at the food stamp in the old man's hand, and replied briefly.

There is a complaint box at the corner of the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. Although a few complaints will not cause much trouble, there is always a layer of restraint.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. He was always worried about being cheated on the way. It seems that this thing can really be used as money.

The products of the supply and marketing cooperative are cheaper than those on the market. Some products are [-] to [-]% cheaper, and some are even half cheaper.

For example, mirrors, kerosene, kerosene lamps, glass, fertilizers, etc., including cement, are sold.

As long as it is available in the market, the supply and marketing cooperatives have it, and if it is hard to see on the market, the supply and marketing cooperatives also have it. It can be regarded as a small trade center.

of course.

The location is different, and the types of goods supplied must be different.

The supply and marketing cooperatives in Beiping City, Daxing County, Dongbeitai Village, Tuanjian Housing District, etc. are naturally the largest. In other places, the scale is slightly inferior, and the smaller the area, the smaller the scale.

Month-end inventory.

The shopkeeper of the supply and marketing cooperative finished reading the sales situation for this month, and then wrote a report on the desk that needed to be submitted to the superior department.

Reports have become an important communication channel for China Heavy Industries.

However, the requirements for the report are not complicated, but when something embarrassing occurs, it is only required to truthfully write the work situation of the current month in order to understand the actual situation at the grassroots level.

For example, supply and marketing cooperatives.

Which products are selling more this month, which products are still not selling this month, and some shopkeepers with strong sexual desires will even take the initiative to propose in the report, suggesting that this product be withdrawn.

Cai Wen from the finance department came to Shizifu temporarily, and when he saw Zhu Gaochi, his face was heavy, and he handed over a questionnaire with both hands.

Zhu Gaochi opened it and saw that it was about Gonglishe. It began with: "Investigation about the sudden increase in food stamps and the surge in sales of supply and marketing cooperatives."

This is a good thing.

"What's the situation?" Zhu Gaochi asked while watching.

Cai Wen explained, "Because in the reports of the shopkeepers of several supply and marketing cooperatives, many customers who do not look like workers are mentioned, and they are not military households."

"Although the sales volume of the supply and marketing cooperative has been increasing every month, the sales volume in the past three months has been ridiculously high, so it has aroused suspicion."

"So I asked the research department to investigate. The result of the investigation turned out to be the food stamps."

After Zhu Gaochi finished reading, his expression was complicated.

A large population means that there are also many smart people, no matter what era it is.

Food stamps can be exchanged for equivalent coins or food. With the support of the China Heavy Industry system, it has gained a certain degree of credibility after a long time.

Then in order to encourage people to use food stamps, there was the rise of supply and marketing cooperatives.

The principle is not complicated.

For example, in the sales department, the real estate company not only sells the house itself, but also outsources it to the sales company to sell the house. There are many channels.

The same is true for the insurance industry, where a lot of sales are outsourced, including the credit department, which also has outsourcing channels.

The external circulation of China Heavy Industry's products does not hinder the establishment of its own direct sales department. Whether it is self-produced products or purchased products, the cost is lower than that of ordinary merchants.

In addition, the promotion of food stamps has its own benefits, so the price of supply and marketing cooperatives is very low, and ordinary businessmen outside can't learn.

But nothing stands up to the scrutiny of a wise man.

I don't know which smart person first thought of buying food stamps from the workers with coins slightly higher than the food stamps.

Then they are sold to ordinary people. These ordinary people take the food stamps that have passed and go to the supply and marketing agency to buy goods.

The outcome is that all three parties benefit.

Workers profit, smart people profit, ordinary people profit too.

"These people have corrupted the food stamp system and deceived the ignorant people with poor information. They should be severely punished."

Cai Wen said angrily.

The food stamps themselves can be exchanged, even ordinary people can go directly to the food stamp bank to exchange for food stamps, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy them.

But many ordinary people don't know it, which gives these scammers an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, "It's not their fault, what they did was not wrong, it was the food stamp bank that was wrong."

Cai Wen couldn't react, and looked at the little prince blankly.

Although he knew that the little prince's thinking was sometimes different from ordinary people, but this sentence made him astonished.

"This... this... What's wrong with the food stamp bank?" Cai Wenyu asked incoherently.

He didn't want to have conflicts with the food stamp bank, don't let it out in the end, it was he who sued the food stamp bank in front of the little prince.

Zhu Gaochi laughed and said, "Why can these "smart people" find so many needy people on their own initiative, but the food stamp bank can't find them."

"The food stamp bank is used to the common people coming to them, but those "smart people" can actively visit the common people's homes and create the needs of the common people. This is the difference between the two."

People who make money by poor information will also be countless in future generations.

For example, the credit card that people are accustomed to has been transferred from big cities to small cities. Many small cities do not have commercial bank online stores.

But many people have needs in this regard, but they don't understand the channels for handling it, and even think it is difficult.

Therefore, a lot of businesses that use the information gap to make money have been born.

At the most outrageous time, you can apply for a Shanghai Pudong Development Bank multi-purpose fund and charge more than a dozen or twenty handling fees.

Could it be that they are so powerful that they can get through the internal credit inspection department of the bank?
Naturally not.

They just follow the bank's process and submit the application for those who don't know the bank's process.

This is called making money by taking advantage of the information gap.

However, with the development of the Internet, the speed of information transmission has doubled, resulting in a rapid shortening of the survival cycle of making money by using information gaps.

Channels that used to last for one to two years, or two to three years, have been shortened to half a year, or even two to three months, gradually making channels with low thresholds unprofitable.

After hearing what the little prince said, Cai Wen seemed to feel that this was true, but he also felt that it was not quite right. Doesn't that mean that it is really a problem with the food stamp bank?
In Zhu Gaochi's view, this incident is different from the nature of intermediaries using information to issue credit cards and profiting from people.

Although both do the same thing, there is a difference.

"The common people exchange food stamps from these people instead of food stamps from the food stamp bank. They still get benefits and get the goods they want from the supply and marketing cooperatives at a cheap price."

"And food stamp banks have to reflect on why people don't exchange food stamps from their hands, because they need to change the way they do things, and they can't just wait in the habit."

Zhu Gaochi believes that the food stamp bank is difficult to change, at least in a short period of time.

Regardless of the strong background of the food stamp bank, those "smart people" are alone and alone, and there are many ways to deal with them.

But "smart people" are smart people.

The food stamp bank has to deal with a group of smart people. Even if the food stamp bank tries to learn from these people, it may not be able to beat these people in terms of professional level.

With Daming's speed of information dissemination, this must be the case in a short period of time.

There are no administrative strikes.

Food stamp dealers have their own special skills.

Some began to station at the entrance of China Heavy Industries, blatantly buying food stamps from the workers.

Some even reached the sky in one step, directly affiliated with a commercial bank, and exchanged large-value food stamps at the food stamp bank in the name of the commercial bank.

"Dangdangdang."

The bell tower of Zhonghua Heavy Industry has a distant bell. It adopts the principle of self-ringing bell invented in the Song Dynasty. The parts and gears of the machine are complicated and magical.

Zhao Hong, who is in the crowd, will have a single day off tomorrow.

"Have you heard that the headquarters will change the rest day." Zhao Hong's companions are as young as him, and these second-generation workers are more active.

"How to change the law?" Zhao Hong asked curiously regarding his own interests.

"Mainly for military workers, the holiday is changed from four days a month to eight days. The extra four days, half a day of practice in the morning and half a day off in the afternoon."

"It's so good." Zhao Hong said enviously, "Military workers have to practice every morning. Their working hours are shorter than ours, their rest time is longer than ours, and their wages are higher."

Finally, Zhao Hong couldn't help but said, "Should we also transfer to military status?"

The companion was a little moved, but he still hesitated, "I'm afraid your mother won't agree."

"Collect food stamps."

Passing by a shed, someone shouted vigorously in the crowd of workers without any stage fright.

Naturally, Zhao Hong would not give him food stamps. He has long been used to using food stamps, but not every worker can be like him.

For new things, many workers are a little afraid to try, so they would rather exchange food stamps and these people for coins.

But there are fewer and fewer people like this. After all, no one is a fool, and they get used to it after seeing more.

There are fewer and fewer such sheds at the door, which can be seen.

"Tomorrow is off. Let's go to the theater. I heard that there is a new play. Many people who have seen it agree."

"What drama?"

"Worker Spirit."

"Row."

Zhao Hong simply agreed. He is young and has not yet married. Although his monthly wages will be handed over to his mother, he still keeps a lot of pocket money for himself.

And his mother also works in the Grand Theater.

The Beiping Grand Theater is not far from the Zhonghua Heavy Industry Zone, and it takes half an hour to walk, about ten miles away.

The two of them didn't take the carriage and railway, and it didn't feel like a good deal. After watching the show, they took the railway carriage home.

On the road newly built by the engineering team, some beggars began to beg for people.

"These people are really pitiful. I heard that Henan and other places were hit by floods, and they fled to Peiping to survive."

"I heard that the government has disaster relief. Why are there so many victims?"

Zhao Hong said curiously.

"Disaster relief is disaster relief, but these people are not stupid. If they want to live a good life, they naturally don't want to stay in the local area."

"They came here and wanted to enter China Heavy Industries, but they haven't had the opportunity to come in yet, and they can't make a living. They can only beg for a living."

Zhao Hong hesitated for a while, but still gave some food coupons.

Food stamps are good things. The begging victims knew that they were better than coins, so they quickly took their family members to bow and thank them.
