In this time and space, the price increase of agricultural products is also astonishing. Although it has not reached the level of outrage, it does still make ordinary people feel that their money is not enough. Logically speaking, the increase in the wholesale price of agricultural products is not too great, so why are the vegetables finally targeted at ordinary people?
The price of meat has increased more than four times since 2000?
The answer is of course the middle part!
Too much changing hands!
For example, farmers and large vegetable merchants sell a pound of cabbage to a collector for 6 cents, and the harvester transfers it to a big agent for 1.2 cents. The big agent shop bullies customers and sells it to a small agent for 1.8 yuan.
The small agents make little money, so they sell it to the vegetable stall for 2 yuan. The vegetable stall is even darker, doubles the amount, and finally sells it to the consumer for 4 yuan.2.
There are too many intermediate processes, which is the reason for the high prices of agricultural products. What are the intermediate processes involved? First, once it changes hands, a tax is collected; secondly, tolls, energy fees, driver salaries, etc.; thirdly, driving up prices.
.
Grain and vegetable baskets are really related to the national economy and people's livelihood. You can do without other things such as mobile phones, electromagnetic needles, computers, and electric cars, but you must not lack the basic grains and vegetables that make people survive.
Beijing people miss the days when cabbage cost 5 cents per catty, and with a monthly income of 200 yuan, one could buy 4,000 catties. Nowadays, cabbage costs four yuan per catty, but one can only buy 2,000 catties with a monthly income. Why?
The fundamental reason is the increase in industrial productivity!
When the monthly income is 200 yuan, the price of a Santana is 250,000 yuan. When the monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, Santana's gasoline cars are no longer available for sale. Volkswagen cars with better quality and cooler models, such as the Blue Yin car, still only sell for 25 yuan.
About 10,000 RMB.
Industrial products have become cheaper, while agricultural products related to land have become more expensive!
So the old gangster asked the investment department of Lanyin Electronics to focus on land-related resources and products.
How to reduce the price of agricultural products? There are certainly ways, but when China's urbanization has not reached a certain level, not exceeding 90%, the introduction of this technology to reduce the price of agricultural products will lead to a further reduction in farmers' income.
This is not what the country expects.
This is one reason why the Yankees’ agricultural products are cheaper than those of China. Because they have a small agricultural population and have achieved large-scale production. They even use machinery to grow cabbage. Another big reason is that their per capita arable land is higher than that of China.
many.
But in fact, in China today, there are very few people who really make money by farming!
The vast majority of farmers grow food and vegetables to be self-sufficient.
In early 2014, Lanyin Biotech launched several vegetable seeds that have been tested for many years and can produce high yields.
But plants can produce high yields. Cabbage, which can only grow one foot high, can grow to two feet high. Where does this extra "size" come from? Of course it comes from sunlight, water, and fertilizer. It must follow the law of conservation of mass.
, that is to say, although high-yielding and safe vegetable varieties have been developed through biotechnology, more water and more chemical fertilizers need to be poured into the vegetables during the planting process. Otherwise, they can only grow normally.
The first is that it grows slowly, and the second is that when it grows up, more nutrients in the land will be consumed.
The principle is this. China wants to transform the desert and transform Mars, but the desert area is short of water and chemical fertilizers. What should we do? China is preparing to build a super water conservancy project. What about chemical fertilizers? To transform the desert, chemical fertilizers must also be prepared. How to prepare
?Is it necessary to rely on large helicopters to spray fertilizers on the desert? Of course not, how can there be such a luxurious technology to transform the desert? You know, in this time and space, chemical fertilizers are not cheap!
It depends on new types of grass plants, which can be produced in desert areas, produce quickly, and die quickly. The dead plants decay and become nutrients, nourishing the production of the next generation of plants. In this way, after a period of
In twenty years, the land that originally lacked nutrients has received a thick layer of "fertilizer", and the desert has been transformed somewhat objectively. At this time, larger trees with deeper root systems are planted to provide more nutrients to the desert below.
After a few years of "loosening the soil", the desert transformation has been somewhat successful; after that, a variety of plants can be planted. In this way, with more plants and rivers, thunder and rain will be easier over the desert.
, due to the action of lightning, the nitrogen fertilizer produced in the air falls down and nourishes the land. In this way, in fifty years, an ecosystem in the desert area may be established.
As for transforming Mars, it will take longer; the longer the time, the more stable the established ecosystem will be.
Haste makes waste. For example, in this time and space, in the past few years, some large international paper-making companies planted fast-producing eucalyptus trees in southern China, which can be harvested in two or three years. This efficiency is good, but it brings
What's more, the land nutrients and water in the mountainous areas have been greatly lost. Where did the water go? Of course it was sucked into the "body" by the eucalyptus trees.
....
Although Lanyin Biotechnology promotes genetically modified vegetable varieties, Mr. Li from Huaxia himself does not eat them. He is not a saint. He knows that although genetically modified vegetables are safe, people always have a psychological factor at play, thinking that vegetables grown naturally are not good enough.
It is better than artificially cultivated genetically modified ones. Just like natural beauties make people feel better than plastic ones, natural "breasts" make men more excited...
In fact, there are quite a lot of genetically modified vegetables among vegetables, but ordinary people don’t know about them.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the children are all on vacation. Xiao Menglai brought back a certificate for his father for the first time, a certificate for "Three Good Students"!
Don't tell me, the old gangster is really happy. He promised his daughter that he would reward her. What reward? Of course it is lucky money!
If you are in fifth grade of elementary school, you can save some lucky money!
....
The high-yield vegetable varieties launched by Lanyin Biotechnology are said to be very popular among urban working-class people. Why?
On the Internet, there are posts about growing this vegetable in flower pots at home. It is said that by placing about twenty "flower pots" on the balcony, there is no need to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Of course, this is hard work, and ordinary housewives cannot do it, but it is true that more and more urban residents are growing vegetables at home, in the yard on the first floor, or on the roof. As for the urban management, the urban management cannot control it yet.
Go home!
"We can't send people to the moon, and the common people can't afford vegetables!" This argument was publicized in January 2014, before the Lunar New Year. Obviously, the new generation hopes to make some achievements in people's livelihood.
Sure enough, under this argument, the expressway implemented a plan to provide free passage of agricultural products, fish, meat, seafood, eggs and other products for one month in order to reduce the sales cost of these products during the Lunar New Year.
The Shanghai Branch of Lanyin Charitable Foundation, where Lin Xiaojing is the director, made another special move: celebrating the birthdays of sanitation workers.
Lin Xiaojing personally participated and led several employees to celebrate the birthday of a sanitation lady in her 50s. She gave a 1,000 yuan down jacket and 8,000 yuan birthday "festival expenses". At the same time, 20 of this sanitation lady's colleagues
Each person also received 4,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, within three days, it was reported that the "festival fees" earned by these sanitation workers had been turned over, and the answer given by the superior department was: they must be divided equally!
How to divide it equally? That is, there are nearly 60 sanitation workers in this subdistrict office and several leaders share it equally!
Even the down jacket of the aunt celebrating her birthday was "turned in"!
As soon as this news came out, the public was in an uproar. Even netizens from overseas countries, because of the translation function of intelligent life, many came to China's forum to speak.
Some said: Oh, in our country, every sanitation worker can take the leader to court, and the leader will have to step down...
Some Chinese people said: It’s understandable to split equally, but don’t you need to hand in the down jacket of the sanitation aunt? You know, this is her birthday gift! It’s really chilling...
Some Chinese netizens also asked: If a billionaire gives a big red envelope to a beggar on the street, does the urban management brother have to share it equally? Because without the permission of the urban management brother, beggars are not allowed to beg on certain road sections.
....
Vulnerable groups and people's livelihood are said to be key tasks in this five-year plan.
Technology is great, but great technology also requires the willingness of the people to accept it! Genetically modified crops can effectively increase production and solve the food crisis and vegetable basket problems, but many people are resistant. In this case, the government needs to open a large propaganda machine
, promote the safety of genetically modified crops!

The Shanghai Municipal Government has "vacated" 40 acres of land in Lujiazui, Pudong, with a price of up to 500 million yuan per acre.
Why is the price so high? Of course, several buildings with less than 20 floors that are more than 20 years old were "bought", the units inside were moved out, and then "blasted" to "vacate" the land
Later, he built a skyscraper for Mr. Li of China.
Lujiazui already has three skyscrapers over 400 meters tall. These four 666-meter-high buildings can serve as another landmark of Lujiazui.
....
In order to find a safer place for his gold, Mr. Li of Huaxia gave Lanyin Investment a task in mid-January 2014: to conduct a thorough inspection and buy another piece of land in Xiangjiang, which can be built 100 meters underground.
At that time, we need to move the more than 1,500 tons of gold currently stored in the Standard Chartered Bank building to a safe place.
Wang Zixuan asked: Is it a nuclear bomb-proof bunker 100 meters underground?
The old gangster said: Opponent, Cunning Rabbit Sancao, our gold cannot be placed in the same place in the future. The underground part of the skyscraper in Shanghai must be built to 150 meters, and it cannot be shallower than the 80-meter foundation of the Global Center. By then, our
Some gold and silver can be deposited here...
Silver, in this time and space, the price of an ounce has also exceeded 80 US dollars, which is more than double the 30 US dollars in 2010 in Li's previous life.
Precious metals are hard currencies at any time, and bank figures cannot give Huaxia Li too much sense of security. After more than ten years of accumulation, he has increasingly understood this: without hard currencies such as gold and silver, his business empire would lack
A pivot point.
It is true that an ordinary man is not guilty of carrying a jade, but Huaxia Li is not an ordinary man now, and he needs to protect his "jade".
....
What will you give out during the Chinese New Year this year? Huaxia Li has already prepared it and will give out gold coins!
What gold coin? Of course it is the latest gold coin commissioned by Standard Chartered Bank and the Xiangjiang Minting Department. One weighs 1 kilogram, is round in shape, 90 millimeters in diameter, and has a fineness of 24k.
The pattern of the gold coin still has the redbud flower on one side, and the colorful upper body of Little Sapphire on the other side, symbolizing intelligent life.
5,000 of these gold coins were produced, consuming 5 tons of gold. Each coin was numbered, which was different from the last 1-ounce gold coin. Huaxia Li took out 500 coins and sold them to major jewelry stores in Xiangjiang.
, about 500 pieces were given as "New Year gifts" to dignitaries, celebrities and executives of the Lanyin family in Xiangjiang, Mainland China. Some well-connected celebrities, such as Master Jin, Master Huang, Shao Liushu, Li Chaoren, etc., received six
Serial numbered gold coins.
Several retired chiefs also received gold coins from representatives Zhong Yuxiu and Huang Yinghong. They also received 6 gold coins, but the numbering was more distinctive...
After you retire, there is no such thing as accepting bribes. Besides, Huaxia Li does not give out New Year gifts every year, and Huaxia Li’s gifts are not free of charge.
Some of these dignitaries or celebrities will also "give back". For example, Master Jin gave back a set of the latest version of "The Complete Works of Jin Yong", each with his signature and personal seal; Li Chaoren gave back a pair of beautiful porcelain.
Although the value may not be consistent with the value of 6 gold coins, gifts between people of this level are all about meaning!
The price of one ounce of gold has reached US$3,200. The value of such a coin does not include the design and manufacturing cost of the gold coin. The value of gold alone is worth US$100,000, and 6 coins are worth 3.6 million yuan.
The remaining 4,000 coins were shipped to luxury houses in Shanghai.
On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Lao Zhang, who had lived in two mansions in Huaxia Li for more than half a year, was preparing to return to the capital. No matter what, it was the New Year. People with children could not celebrate the New Year at other people's homes. As for the old gangster, he also gave it to him
66 gold coins for him to take home.
Lao Zhang smiled and said: "Fortunately, I am no longer in office, otherwise, such a big bribe would have led to the guillotine!"
....
Making gold nuggets into gold coins can be more convenient for collection. Giving gold coins as a gift is always better than giving gold bars, especially such commemorative gold coins!
Sure enough, the artificial intelligence gold coins commissioned by Mr. Li from Huaxia were reported by the news media. Many mainland people flocked to Xiangjiang, only to find that the gold coins in the jewelry stores had long been swept away by the people of Xiangjiang.
The gold coins cost US$100,000 and sold for US$120,000. Many wealthy people in Xiangjiang bought them without blinking an eye.
He is preparing to return to Xijing to celebrate the New Year. Before returning, of course the old gangster has to appease his lovers in Shanghai.
I carried 100 gold coins to each person. For example, when I arrived at mm's house, this girl opened the door and saw that he was carrying a small but heavy-looking leather bag. The old gangster smiled and said: "Take it!"
The girl happily took the bag, but found that the old gangster refused to let go. She smiled and said, "What?"
The old gangster knew that if he let go, the bag would definitely hit the ground, and the gold coin box inside might be broken, so he had better carry it by himself.
When he came to the bedroom and put the bag on the bed, he found that a piece of the bed had sunk in. The old gangster smiled and opened the bag, took out the gold coins in a transparent plastic box, and said: "No, I am currently in the bedroom."
Hong Kong’s very popular Sapphire gold coin.”
After a while, the girl finished counting and said happily: "I like gold the most!"
Not only does she like it, but Zhang Baoxiu, who now runs a jewelry store, also likes it. She said: "Husband, our branch in Xiangjiang, the quota of 100 pieces was sold out on the first day, and Brother Ma bought 50 pieces himself!
"
The old gangster smiled and said: "It seems that the people in Xiangjiang are complaining about the lack of goods. It turns out that it is you who own jewelry stores who bought it yourself?"
Zhang Baoxiu said with a smile: "It's not all, we released 20 pieces! But there are 20 kilograms. How can we sell 20 kilograms of gold in a day?"
Daughter Li Xiuer was already 5 years old. When she saw her godfather coming, she said, "Godfather, why hasn't my father come home yet?"
When the old gangster suddenly heard this, he felt uncomfortable. Zhang Baoxiu also sighed: "Xiu'er is much more sensible. She knows that her father is closer than her godfather!"
The old gangster hugged his daughter and gave her a kiss. Seeing that her daughter moved her little face away, the old gangster said happily: "What's going on? You don't even want your godfather to kiss you?"
Zhang Baoxiu said with a smile: "I miss my dad. I have been on vacation these days and I am not too happy. I said I haven't seen my dad for a long time."
The old gangster smiled and said: "Okay, Baoxiu, I'm leaving!"
