After Jiang Xiaobai returned to Huaqing Building, he asked Zhao Xiaojin to deliver today's newspaper.

"By the way, go and collect newspapers from other places, especially those in the capital and in the south. If you don't ask for today's ones, you can do the most recent ones."

Jiang Xiaobai ordered again.

"Okay." Zhao Xiaojin responded and turned around and went out. She didn't ask why. Jiang Xiaobai had the habit of reading newspapers.

At this time, current affairs and politics were all hidden in the official texts in the newspaper.

So the first thing Jiang Xiaobai does when he goes to Huaqing Building every day is to read the newspaper.

If the price rise is in later generations, it would be normal. It would be strange if the price rises, but in this era, it would be very subtle.

Maybe some major historical event will happen.

I have never experienced this era in my previous life. I have learned about some things from books and online, and may be missing.

There may be something I can't remember, but now that I'm reborn in this era, I must figure it out, otherwise I'll be uneasy.

Soon, Zhao Xiaojin came in with a pile of newspapers.

"Mr. Jiang, the newspapers from the capital and the Mo City are above, and the other newspapers are below." Zhao Xiaojin put a pile of newspapers on the table.

Jiang Xiaobai looked up and said, "Okay, go out and find out how much the current prices in our Longcheng have increased compared to the end of last year, mainly the prices of vegetables and various daily necessities."

"Ah?" Zhao Xiaojin was stunned, a little surprised, understanding what this is for.

"Go, you can take two more people to help, and figure out the matter." Although Jiang Xiaobai heard from the man at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative that the prices of various daily necessities had risen, he didn't know how much it had risen.

He wanted to collect more information but decided what happened.

"Okay," Zhao Xiaojin turned around and went out, holding the notebook and pen.

Jiang Xiaobai leaned on the table and read the newspapers one by one.

The Metropolitan Daily in Longcheng also reported some news of rising prices, but the tofu chunks are a little larger, and the specific reason is not clearly stated.

There were no other newspapers, and Jiang Xiaobai opened some newspapers in the capital.

Similarly, news of rising prices was found between some lines.

However, it is obviously not taken seriously by people. It should be said that this price increase has not affected everyone's lives, and the price increase is still within a controllable range.

Jiang Xiaobai opened some newspapers in the Magic City again. This time, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes narrowed and he saw some news.

In the Modu newspaper some time ago, Modu City adjusted the retail prices of 280 types of goods, and some goods were listed in the newspaper.

There is no doubt that most of these commodities are small commodities or daily necessities, with price increases ranging from 20% to 30%.

Jiang Xiaobai looked through the newspaper a few more times and continued to sort out his ideas.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xiaojin reported on the situation. A large number of small commodities and daily necessities in Longcheng have increased their prices, but the amount is not large, and it remains between 10% and 15%.

But Jiang Xiaobai still had no eyebrows, why did some daily necessities suddenly increase their prices?

After making a cup of tea, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes narrowed as he accidentally swept over one of the messy newspapers on the table.

Among them, the five black characters on the newspaper attracted Jiang Xiaobai's attention to the "dual-track price system".

This is a southern newspaper, reporting on something that happened in Jinling.

Due to the dual-track price system, many units and state-owned institutions have devoted themselves to buying and selling materials and used the dual-track price system to make profits from it.

In Jinling, there are 1,000 tons of steel, which has been sold 129 times in place, and the price has increased by nearly three times. 83 departments participated in this matter.

There is a folk proverb below: "One billion people have lost nine hundred million, and one hundred million are still looking for it."

Looking at this report, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Jiang Xiaobai's mind, and he remembered it.

I remember why the price rise is now.

It happened in 1988. Things that deeply remembered the people of the whole country were not only for ordinary people, but also for some companies, which had a greater impact.

That is "price passes through". If you want to say "price passes through", you have to start with the price dual-track system in the past few years.

Simply put, it is the same product, and there are two different prices at the same place and at the same time.

For example, if there are two different traffic rules on the road at the same time, you can imagine the chaos on the road.

The same is true for the price dual-track system. At the beginning, it was also a time to protect state-owned enterprises. However, by now, in 1988, the disadvantages of the price dual-track system have emerged.

The prices and fees of means of production are rising randomly, of course, this situation does not happen in one day.

For the same commodity, in the same city, it may cost three dollars for the east side and one dollar for the west side.

By 1988, it had reached the point where it had to be solved.

The news about Jinling Steel in the newspaper that Jiang Xiaobai read is just one of the typical cases, and there are countless chaos like this.

Therefore, the price dual-track system needs to be combined and the supply is improved.

This is the root of "price breakthrough", and the first impact of price breakthrough is price increase.

Thinking that "price passes through" and then the "buying storm" that followed, Jiang Xiaobai frowned.

This time, the failure of price breakthroughs has brought more than just the impact of unsalable goods, but many policies will change.

In 1989, it was another cold winter for townships and private enterprises.

But this is the last time, just get through it.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Jiang Xiaobai roughly packed up the newspaper on the table, then got up and went home.

In the evening, I talked to Zhao Xinyi about the rise in prices. The specific reasons involved some national policies. I told Zhao Xinyi that Zhao Xinyi didn’t know much about it.

However, I still told Zhao Xinyi that she estimated that prices might rise. She would still stock up on the ground that the price has not increased now.

Zhao Xinyi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give Xiao Cai and let her sell it."

"Yes." Jiang Xiaobai was not afraid of price increases, but also afraid of the rush to buy storm caused by price breakthroughs.

However, there is no way to tell Zhao Xinyi about this kind of thing that is not a servant. He can only stock up on his family because he is afraid of price increases.

However, not only at home, but also Huaqing Holdings Company must actively deal with the possible impact of this price breakthrough, Jiang Xiaobai thought to himself.
