In one word, expensive!
For those with middle and high incomes, it may not be a big deal.
But for ordinary migrant workers and ordinary professional workers, it is extremely expensive!
"Why did it rise so much all of a sudden?" Qin Yi couldn't understand.
Although prices are rising every year, prices in Liujiang County are rising too fast.
"Hey, it's not Liujiang Investment Company's fault!" Another big man said with an indignant look.
"Brother, please tell me carefully."
"This Liujiang Investment Company is actually a supply chain management company. It was funded and established by the county government and is a state-owned company. It operates many things. It almost monopolizes most of the things that our people need in life!"
"To simply take the gas from the gas tanks used by our people at home, our current gas tank agents in the county can only represent the gas from the gas tanks under the name of Jiangliu Investment Company, and other brands of gas will not be provided to you at all. Enter the Liujiang County Market!"
"In other words, this company has monopolized the gas market in the entire county! In the past, those gas tank dealers, no matter where you purchased the goods from, which brand, or what price, you will all get your goods from Jiangliu Investment Company in the future!"
"A few years ago, when this company was not established, we only needed 79 yuan to buy a tank of gas! Guess how much it costs to buy a tank of gas now? 118 yuan! This company said it was to unify the wholesale of gas and for the sake of safety, In order to ensure that there are no problems, but since they monopolized the market, it has become more expensive for us ordinary people to buy gas tanks."
"Yes, a tank of gas originally only cost 79 yuan, but now it has increased to 118 yuan. Not to mention, the gas in the gas tanks of this company is still often not full. My relative bought a gas tank last month and it was probably seriously short of weight. After using it for a week, it ran out of gas! Do you think it's irritating?"
"Haha, on the pretext of being for safety and to rectify the chaotic gas market, it is actually a monopoly! I heard that several of the gas agents in the past were closed down. It seemed that they were operating because of lack of documents. The store door security is not up to standard and so on.”
"And more, just talking about the little fried bean curd sticks in our pig's trotters noodles, they want to monopolize it, it's so blood-sucking!"
"In the past, most small workshops were making bean curd. But since the opening of Jiangliu Investment Company, they have started to wipe out the small workshops that produce bean curd one after another, monopolizing the bean curd business in the entire county! All restaurants in the county , snack bars, and even some grocery stores have to get their goods from Jiangliu Investment Company!"
After Qin Yi heard this, Lao Gao frowned: "Then why no one buys goods from those small workshops?"
"Hey! Those small workshops were closed down because of unqualified hygiene. Even if there is no problem, they can still find out the problem for you, you know~!" The big man said with a wink.
"It's because all kinds of daily necessities are monopolized by Jiangliu Investment Company, which has caused the price of living in our county to rise! If you don't believe it, ask the owner of this pig's trotters shop why they set the price at 15 yuan a piece. A bowl of pork trotter noodles.”
Hearing this, Qin Yi suppressed the anger in his heart and winked at Xiao Hao next to him.
Then Qin Yi said to the two big men: "Then the life pressure of the people in your county is quite high!"
"Well, it goes without saying that not only us ordinary people, but also some bosses are not easy to do. Just take the bosses of various canteens in the county. Many of the things they buy have to come from this river. I bought it from a streaming investment company, wholesaled it, and delivered it uniformly. Now my child says that the food in the school canteen is not only more expensive, but it’s not as delicious as before! Don’t you think I’m angry!”
"In the past two years, there has been a popular saying in Jiangliu County: There is a Liutou (company) in Liujiang County, but there is no water in Liujiang River! How deep do you think this company is?"
"Well said!" Qin Yi nodded in agreement.
"By the way, why don't you report this problem?"
"It would be great if the report is useful. Haven't you seen that the company is still running well?"
After a few minutes.
"Brother Qin, the boss said that gas is expensive and many condiments are becoming more expensive. The boss said that if he doesn't increase the price, he won't make any money." Xiao Hao said in a low voice.
"Okay, I get it."
After finishing their meal, the three of them walked out.
Qin Yi's face darkened!
"What a Liujiang Investment Company! On the surface, they are trying to rectify the market, but secretly they are engaged in monopoly!" Qin Yi is not stupid. Although the two big men just told the tip of the iceberg, he is now I can also make a rough guess!
"This is shaving off the people!"
"Xiao Zhong, what is the situation of Liujiang Investment Company? What exactly does it operate?" Qin Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Mayor, I just checked the specific information of this company on the Internet. The main business of this company is: supply chain management services; general cargo warehousing services (excluding hazardous chemicals and other items that require license approval); wholesale of daily necessities; kitchenware and bathroom Wholesale of furniture and daily necessities; wholesale of edible agricultural products; wholesale of aquatic products; wholesale of sporting goods and equipment; wholesale of fresh meat; wholesale of fresh fruit; wholesale of stationery; wholesale of refined oil (excluding hazardous chemicals); wholesale of fresh eggs; wholesale of fresh vegetables Wholesale; production, sales, processing, transportation, storage and other related services of agricultural products; retail of edible agricultural products; sales of daily necessities; sales of agricultural and sideline products; retail of aquatic products, etc." Zhong Shengdao.
After Qin Yi heard this, he said with a dark face: "Good guy, you have included all aspects of people's lives!"
No wonder they even rush to make a small fried bean curd!
In other words, as long as it is a profitable job, they want to do it all!
"Get in the car! Let's go find some local people for an undercover investigation!" Qin Yi was furious at this moment, but he did not directly go to the county government officials or go to the company to understand the situation.
"Huh? Mayor, there is a fee for parking here!" Xu Qiang held a payment QR code with a surprised look on his face.
This street is not in the urban center of Liujiang County. It is in a relatively remote area. Is parking charged here?
Because in the urban area of Haitong City, only roadside parking in the city center is charged!
"Hiss...it costs 5 yuan to park for half an hour! The fee will be calculated starting from 15 minutes of parking!"
"You charge five yuan for half an hour?"
"Yes, it's five yuan an hour. If you park for 15 minutes, you'll be charged 5 yuan!"
