On another National Day, the Chengbei Vegetable and Non-staple Food Wholesale Center held a grand opening with the vigorous performance of the Ansai Waist Drum Troupe specially invited by the group. Because meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables are all sold at a 50% discount on the opening day, there will be a large influx of people even in normal times, not to mention during difficult economic times. Three waist drum teams started performing hard in the parking lot at the main entrance of the wholesale center at 8:30 in the morning, attracting a large number of citizens to watch.
Amidst the bursts of firecrackers at nine o'clock, the Chengbei Vegetable and Non-staple Food Wholesale Center officially opened its doors to welcome customers. As the first batch of purchasers came out, they took the vegetables and non-staple food they bought at a 50% discount and advertised to the outside world that they had bought cheap goods. The onlookers People flocked in to make purchases. Some even called relatives and friends. As time went by, the crowd grew larger and larger. After receiving the news, some elderly people took the bus for two or three hours to buy their daily necessities.
For a group company, the more it sells, the more it will lose, but now no one cares too much. The group adopts a government-guided price subsidy for the day's sales. After a 50% discount, the part that is lower than the government-guided price is determined by The group uniformly compensates merchants, and the group does this just to gather popularity.
"It's time to spend money on advertising." Yangliu encouraged Uncle Han when he felt sorry for losing too much money.
In contrast to the constant flow of people in the wholesale market, which even requires the Qin Jiajun to call porters from the transportation team to maintain order and limit the flow, the building materials hall, furniture hall, sanitary ware hall, home appliance world, and glasses city of the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative are in huge contrast. The lively scenes of previous years are gone. From the time it opened after the Chinese New Year to now, sales have been bleak for seven or eight months. Various merchants have not even held National Day promotions. In fact, they are powerless. Even if they are willing, it is difficult to have a hot sales scene.
After all, it was the National Day, so the group company still asked an advertising company to make some banners and colorful flags, which were hung in rows on wires from the door of the supply and marketing cooperative to the roadside of the people's road, highlighting some festive atmosphere as a whole. There are also few people under the colorful flag, and the five-star red flag at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative is rustling in the northwest wind, stubbornly looking down on the world. The various exhibition halls and stores were deserted, with very few customers coming to shop.
The event continued until around 4 p.m. when people from the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Price Bureau got wind of the situation. Two vans carrying more than 10 people came to the scene and forced them to "fail to apply for price reporting to the Price Bureau" and "disrupt the market economic order." Closed for rectification.
It was the first time for Uncle Han to see such a huge battle. He was so frightened that his calves trembled. He hurriedly sent someone to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Mr. Yanhua. Yanhua had never encountered this kind of situation before and didn't know how to deal with it. She hurriedly reported it to Yang Liufang and also to the president of Chengbei. President Chengbei learned the news and hurried over from the office together with Yanhua.
From a distance, Yanhua saw uniformed staff from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and Price Bureau standing in rows at the entrance of the wholesale market. Two people who looked like leaders were making trumpet-like gestures with their hands to shout to the citizens waiting in line, saying that the wholesale market was operating illegally and taking advantage of low-price dumping, disrupting the city's economic order and that it would be closed for rectification. Citizens were asked to go home and wait, and not to gather together. here.
"Listen to their nonsense, I want to buy groceries." At this time, one of the transportation team staff who was in front of the queue because they were quarantined took the lead in shouting.
"Tell them to go away, we want to buy groceries."
"Yes, they are the ones disrupting the market order, let them go."
"If you don't eat the fireworks of the world, you don't know how difficult it is for ordinary people to make money."
At this time, the queue in the parking lot had already reached the North Ring Road. When everyone saw the chaos in front of them, they stopped queuing and gathered around to watch the excitement. Driven by the porters who maintained order, the crowd heard that they were not allowed to buy cheap vegetables. The people in line became angry. Some people came out from the market to buy eggs and vegetables. I don’t know who snatched the eggs from their baskets. Suddenly, An egg was thrown from the crowd and hit the captain's mouth, who was making a trumpet-like gesture with his hands. The fire was instantly silenced and everyone burst into laughter. They all followed suit and grabbed eggs and vegetable leaves and threw them at the group of workers. More than a dozen workers fled back into the market with their heads in their hands.
Yanhua, who had already rushed outside the crowd, saw clearly and saw that the porter from her company was taking the lead inside. She felt relieved and deliberately slowed down her pace. When the director of the Chengbei Society saw that the matter was getting serious, he pushed his way into the crowd and hurriedly asked the office director to call the police. He squeezed into the crowd to stop him, but he never thought that the people were already angry. He was highly myopic and his glasses had long been squeezed out. He couldn't tell who was the staff and who was the people. He could only shout loudly: "Stop!" It is against the law to hit someone..."
There were also customers in the market who came out to watch the excitement. In addition, the vegetable vendors did not mind the excitement. I heard that they were not allowed to do business, so they also threw eggs and vegetable leaves at the staff. After a while, they were attacked again. The people were driven out of the market. These people are like rats crossing the street, and some of the customers are helpful to the dark fist. Because President Chengbei shouted loudly in the crowd, everyone thought he was also a staff member who came to close the door of the wholesale market, and he also received a few punches.
The police from the Chengbei Branch of the Public Security Bureau received an alarm from the office of the supply and marketing cooperative, and hurriedly dispatched three police cars and rushed over with the alarm on. As soon as the car stopped, he used the car's loudspeaker to shout: "Citizens, we are the police. Please stop, stay calm, and protect your rights in accordance with the law. Beating people is against the law."
The shouting continued and the citizens gradually calmed down. The staff members from the Price Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau limped out of the crowd. Their hats had gone somewhere, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and their bodies were covered with egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves.
At this time, Yang Liufang also drove over in a hurry. When he got out of the car, he saw a few familiar policemen and hurriedly went over to say hello. According to relevant laws and regulations, the police will take away the market leader and citizen representatives, as well as the on-site leaders of the Price Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau for questioning to learn about the incident so that they can be dealt with according to law. Uncle Han was so frightened that his legs were like chaff. As soon as he was told to take him away, he collapsed on the ground. Yang Liufang and Yanhua hurried over to help him up.
"Team Zhang, our group rents the market from the supply and marketing cooperative. I am the actual person in charge. I will go there with you."
"I'll go too." President Chengbei said. At this time, he couldn't find his glasses, his hair was disheveled, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen because of the secret punch, and he was in a very embarrassed state.
"President, let me go over there. You go to the hospital for a checkup quickly, and then go to the optical city to find a store to buy you a pair of glasses, and get the invoice and the group will reimburse you." Yanhua stepped forward to comfort the president calmly.
Yinhua called Li Tongfu when the situation was chaotic and roughly reported the situation here. Qin Jiajun also arrived at this time. When he saw the police taking away his wife and boss, he hurriedly went to the parking lot of the supply and marketing cooperative to get on his motorcycle and went to the city bureau to find his comrades for help.
According to regulations, the citizen representatives who caused trouble were also taken away, but as soon as the crowd heard that the police were arresting people, they dispersed.
President Chengbei went directly to get glasses with the help of his secretary. He knew that he was fine, but he had received a few punches in the chaos. During the break between getting glasses, he reported the situation to President Li of the headquarters. Various calls were quickly made to the leaders of the Chengbei Branch of the Public Security Bureau. Seeing that the matter was too big, the director hurriedly came to handle it personally. Because Yang Liufang was a deputy to the Municipal People's Congress, he also asked the bureau office to report to the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee Office in accordance with the law. After obtaining the corresponding permission, Director Wang came to the scene to meet with both parties.
At this time, in a large conference room of the Public Security Bureau, the three parties involved in the incident were sitting on both sides of the conference table. Director Wang personally asked questions to learn about the incident. Yang Liufang introduced the process of renting the vegetable wholesale center, especially emphasizing that "he was following the State Council's "Decision on Further Strengthening Agricultural and Rural Work" and "fulfilling the responsibilities of a National People's Congress representative", responding to the call of the province and city, and implementing the spirit of the central document. On the premise of ensuring the appreciation of state-owned assets, the leasing market shall be established in accordance with laws and regulations. Yanhua, as an employee of Xizhou Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the current general manager of major stores, confirmed Yang Liufang's statement.
When it was Uncle Han's turn, he saw Yang Liufang and Yanhua there, and the police respected them, and he adjusted his mood. Although they were still a little worried while sitting there, some people took courage, gradually calmed down, and narrated the incident.
"Did you acquiesce in the customer's disturbance?"
"Um (I) don't. I have been assisting the two leaders to speak to customers and accept the closure for rectification. It is the initiative of the common people."
"Where did those eggs and vegetables come from?"
"I don't know about my forehead. Look, my forehead was also hit."
Just when the police were about to question the two leaders of the Price Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Li Tongfu and lawyer from Liufang Industrial Group Company arrived. Lawyer Wang requested to meet his client in accordance with the law. Because he was under questioning, his request was rejected in accordance with the law.
"Two captains, is the statement made by the market manager just now true?"
"It's true. According to the "Interim Regulations on Price Management", they sell vegetables, fruits and non-staple foods at low prices, which seriously disrupts the market price order, fair competition and equal transactions. And the above-mentioned behavior was not registered with us. Our bureau staff are Deal with it in accordance with the law.”
"We are also fulfilling our responsibilities to regulate and maintain the order of various market operations in accordance with the law, and are responsible for supervising and managing market transactions and online commodity transactions and related services." The person in charge of the Industry and Commerce Bureau also said.
They answered their actions simply and clearly. Through the confessions of three parties, the facts have become very clear, that is, the wholesale market lacks a filing procedure and should be closed for rectification and fined according to law. However, when the person in charge of the market received requests for rectification opinions from the industrial and commercial and price departments, they had a good attitude, actively cooperated with the closure of the market and were willing to impose fines. The staff of the industrial and commercial and price departments mishandled the incident, which aroused public anger in a special period, resulting in staff being beaten and damaged, and they had to bear the losses themselves. Director Wang made on-site adjustments to the accident.
Everyone came out of the Public Security Bureau that day. The next day, Lao Chen led Uncle Han to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Price Bureau to accept a fine of 5,000 yuan each. The Chengbei Vegetable and Non-staple Food Wholesale Center originally held a discount event during the opening period during the National Day. After the festival, it returned to the government-guided price level.
A blessing in disguise, through this incident, citizens knew that the Chengbei Vegetable and Non-staple Food Wholesale Center was a place that brought benefits to the people. However, the image of the Municipal Price Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau was greatly damaged by this incident.
