Chapter four hundred and twentieth eight Chinese people's psychology
"Grandpa Lu, the causes of inflation are very complicated. I can't finish it in one or two sentences. Let me go back and think about it and then write something!"
"Okay, okay, now the country needs a good solution, your method will definitely work!"
Lu Mingzhi seemed very excited. Liu Lang was going to write something again. This was a big deal. Every time he wrote something, it would definitely attract the attention of the highest level. The "Third Industry Wave" was even written about the future of the country.
The plan has become the country's strategic policy. What is written this time will definitely solve the current inflation problem. In Lu Mingzhi's eyes, Liu Lang has become a "miraculous doctor" who can cure all diseases!
Liu Lang and the two were talking about national affairs here, and Wang Zhendong occasionally intervened. The two of them were listening. Well, they had known for a long time that Liu Lang was a genius. There was nothing in the world that he didn't know. Senior officials of the country
They should also listen obediently. What they saw with their own eyes today still shocked them.
A child who is only as tall as two people's chests speaks with a childish voice, but he understands the current situation of the country so thoroughly. Inflation is a common thing in the big countries in the world, but no one seems to understand why it happens.
It is so clear that inflation occurs
Chu, even the two people who didn't know much about the economy understood clearly. No wonder Huo Tianting always said that Liu Lang was the reincarnation of a god. Don't say it! It's really possible, but even if he is the reincarnation of a god, can a god understand the economy?
What kind of god is that? Is it the God of Wealth...?
After finishing the meal, Sun Hu took Liu Lang back to his home at Huaxia University. His mother had been waiting for him for a long time, and she hugged her son when she saw him.
"Son, you are finally back!"
Mother and son have not seen each other for more than a month. Even if they talk on the phone every two or three days, even if he is a genius, he is still a child who is just six years old and will never grow up in his mother's heart.
"Mom, I miss you too, how are you doing lately?"
Liu Lang asked with concern while holding his mother in his arms.
"I have a bunch of neighbors helping me. I'm fine, but you, my son! Look, you've lost weight!"
Xu Wenxiu looked at her son distressedly.
"Shanghai is so hot that I sweat every day, but the food is pretty good. I can eat two bowls of rice in one meal. Others say I have grown taller. Mom, do you think I have grown taller?"
"Well, I've grown a bit, and I'm almost catching up with mom!"
Xu Wenxiu touched her son's head and said.
The mother and son sat down and talked about everything that had happened in the past month. Liu Lang was studying in the factory every day, so naturally he had nothing to say. Xu Wenxiu, on the other hand, went shopping with that aunt today! He will go shopping with that aunt tomorrow.
We were shopping for groceries, but he just started chatting and couldn't stop. Liu Lang just listened with a smile, without any sign of impatience.
"Son, I heard from your Aunt Meng that her brother-in-law is a section manager at the No. 1 Department Store and can buy khakis. I want to buy a few more and keep them to make clothes for you!"
Xu Wenxiu said suddenly.
"Mom, why did you buy that thing? Don't foreign trade stores have ready-made clothes?"
"Son, you don't know, prices have risen very fast recently! It's good to buy more while it's still cheap and keep it! I also called your dad and asked him to buy more things, such as oil and salt
We have to buy soy sauce, vinegar, rice and white noodles. If the price goes up one day, we will take advantage!"
"Oh, that's right!"
Liu Lang understood. It turned out that his mother was afraid of price increases!
It seems that the current price of goods has indeed risen sharply. However, even if others are afraid, the Liu family should not worry, right? How much can the goods rise if they continue to rise? Liu Lang is now a millionaire, and Xu Wenxiu usually buys clothes.
When she went to a foreign trade store to buy imported clothes, each one cost fifty or sixty yuan. She didn't feel distressed about the "expensive" clothes. Why was she so fussy about fabrics that cost two or three yuan a foot now? This was a bit unfair.
It's logical!
It is said to be illogical, but it is in line with the psychology of the common people.
Of course Xu Wenxiu knows that her family has a lot of money, not to mention cloth that costs a few dollars a foot, and she can even afford cars running on the street, but she still feels that she should buy more before the price rises.
Only then will you feel relieved.
She has never had such a problem, that is, her family has a lot of money, and even if prices increase tenfold, it will not have much impact on her life.
This mentality comes from the shortage of materials in China for many years. There is no clothes and little food. This makes everyone have a deep sense of "crisis" in their bones. Once they feel that something is happening that will endanger their food and clothing, they will immediately start "
"Emergency" mechanism, that is, we must stock up on food, cloth and all available items. Just like now, everyone knows that prices are rising rapidly. They don't know the reason for this. They only know to take advantage of the low prices.
Buy as much as you can, the more you buy, the better, even if you don’t need it, you still have to buy it.
Liu Lang still clearly remembers that when he was seven or eight years old in his previous life, a lot of matches and candles suddenly appeared in his home. How many were there? There were probably dozens of packs of matches, ten boxes in each pack, that is hundreds of boxes, and there were also ten candles.
There were several bundles, and even after two or three years, these things were not used up.
Liu Lang was still young at that time and did not know such profound things as rising prices. It was not until he studied that period of history when he grew up that he realized that his parents were afraid of rising prices in the future...
Well, even if you two bosses have to buy something useful for fear of rising prices, is there any point in buying those matches and candles?
However, when we really study that period of history, we find that Liu Lang's parents hoarding matches and candles was just childish. It may be that they didn't have more money at the time. If they had money, it wouldn't be matches and candles.
Liu Lang once read a passage in a book describing the situation at that time, which said: People at that time were as if they were in a daze, buying everything they saw, from hedging products to consumer goods to slow-moving goods.
Let it go, buy a TV if it has images, buy an electric fan if it can spin, buy a refrigerator if it has air conditioning, some homes have dozens of thermos bottles; some homes have washbasins everywhere, and the thermos bottles contain soy sauce and
Rice vinegar, salt and miso are placed in the basin.
What's more, in some remote provinces, people fought on the streets in order to buy wool. There was a crazy incident of two people holding knives and hacking each other in the street.
It is precisely because everyone is crazy about buying and buying that the country's prices have fallen into a fatal trap. The country's various plans have not taken people's psychology into account.
These things will seem so ridiculous ten years later that people who have not lived through that era dare not imagine it, but it did happen, and it was not just one or two people, but everyone. Don't say that this kind of thing is
In an era of material shortages, even in the 21st century, it would be fatal to the country. Once it happened, it would be a major event.
In Liu Lang's view, the inflation in the 1980s was bound to happen. It was an inevitable product of China's rapid economic development with the service industry as the main body. No one could stop it, but the consequences could be
This time, Liu Lang is striving to reduce the country's losses and reduce unnecessary setbacks on the country's reform path.
