Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country!

Chapter 35 35· “You are really breaking the law.”

The young man's words were sonorous and powerful, and there was a moment of silence inside and outside the shop.

But then the store manager laughed angrily and said: "You said I'm not scared, but you say that and I'm scared? There are two hundred eggs now, what can you do to me?"

The girl's eyes lit up, and then she thought about it. Regardless of the arrogant and scolding store manager, she pulled Yu Chang'e and her boyfriend outside the door and asked:

"Shangjun, are you trying to scare him?"

"Of course not, I really called the Price Bureau." The young man said with a smile, shaking the mobile phone in his hand, revealing the call record on it:

"I was afraid that he would be happy if I attacked this kind of person, but the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I went out and made a phone call."

"But at this point, people from the Price Bureau are actually at work?" The girl looked at the time, and it wasn't even 7:30 yet.

She remembered that public offices like the Price Bureau didn't start work so early, right?

“I originally wanted to leave a message and at least wait until daytime for them to come and treat this beast, but when I called, someone did pick up the phone right away.

He was very talkative and quickly promised me that he would be with us in about five minutes. "

The young man thought for a while and explained himself:

"It should be because of the state of emergency. It seems that public employees now have food and accommodation at their workstations.

Unexpectedly, the most comfortable job at the end of the universe now seems a bit torturous. "

"That's it, great. Mother-in-law, do you want to follow me upstairs to have something to eat first?" The young girl nodded, and then asked Yu Chang'e, "We should wait for the people from the Price Bureau to come over and help us get rid of this evil first. ?”

"It's okay, I can afford to wait." Yu Chang'e waved her hands quickly. She could see that the girl wanted to wait.

Naturally, it is impossible for oneself to spoil the other party's interest.

Five minutes flew by.

"Hey, you three, if you don't leave without buying anything, you are becoming beggars. I won't reward beggars, so get out of here." When the store manager saw the three of them still standing outside, he patted the glass table with his hand. , mocked.

The three people did not respond, because not far away, a government car was speeding towards them, and then slowly stopped on the side of the road.

Two men wearing taupe official uniforms walked out from the front of the car.

In Dongguo, there are three types of clothing for public officials with relatively special colors and styles: taxation, public security, and law enforcement. The clothing of the two people in front of them belongs to the law enforcement category.

"Is this Mr. Shang Shangjun?" The man coming out of the passenger seat looked at Shang Shangjun and asked, "Did you report that someone here is driving up prices?"

"Yes, it's me, this is the store."

Shang Shangjun nodded and pointed at the store manager who was still browsing short videos.

"You said you have preserved the evidence, right? Then my colleagues and I will not test it." The man confirmed again.

Otherwise, in this case, one of you would need to wear plain clothes to inquire about the price and keep evidence that the price exceeds the standard.

I can't even drive here directly.

"Yes." Shang Shangjun nodded again, "I recorded the scene where my girlfriend and her mother-in-law were arguing with that idiot just now."

When his girlfriend entered the store, he had already raised his mobile phone at the back.

"Okay, we understand."

The man and his companion looked at each other, then walked into the store together, reaching out and patting the glass table.

"What the hell, if I don't have two hundred dollars, I won't..."

When the store manager was about to scold those three poor guys again, half of his vision was blocked by a certificate.

"Hello, I am from the Price Bureau. I have received a report that the goods you sell here exceed the national guideline price. We suspect that you have violated the Price Law and the Guidance on Determining Illegal Price Gouging During the First-Level State of Emergency. The relevant provisions of the Opinions are suspected of driving up prices.”

The man said sternly.

"This... this..." The store manager, who was so domineering just now, now looked like a beaten eggplant, with a smile on his face, not even daring to raise his voice, and said flatteringly:

"You...are you making a mistake? How could I raise the price..."

He is arrogant at first and respectful at the end, which makes people laugh when he thinks about it.

The man looked at Shang Shangjun, who immediately understood what he meant and turned the volume on his phone to the maximum. Then his girlfriend's voice came from inside:

"Boss, you sell 21 eggs here? Twenty times more?"

"Where did this uneducated guy come from? Oh, you call someone here when you can't afford something? Yes, I sell twenty-one here, what's the matter? If you don't want to buy, just get out? I didn't buy or sell by force."

"..."

The recording is clear.

"Is there anything else you can say?"

The man said with a serious smile, and his colleagues around him had already recorded something in a small notebook.

"This..." The shopkeeper's expression was extremely ugly.

"Eggs are sold for twenty-one, and the profit margin of pornography, gambling, and drugs is not as high as yours." The man sneered:

"Just for this video as evidence, you will have to pay a fine of at least 500 yuan and no more than 1,500 yuan."

"How can there be such a thing!"

When the store manager heard that he was still being fined, he immediately became anxious. How could anyone pay the fine before doing business?

"I've clearly marked this place..."

The store manager was stunned for a moment, then remembered that the prices in the store were still the same as before, so he quickly changed his words:

"I told the customer the price before selling, and I didn't force the purchase or sale. If you don't want to buy or can't afford it, just don't buy it. Why should you say I'm driving up the price? This is unreasonable.

My... my cost is too high, what's wrong with selling it for twenty! Michelin sells them for two hundred each! "

"What's reasonable or not is not what you and I say, it's what the law says." My colleague has posted the fine on the table in the store, "As long as you show that you have the right to sell it for 20 yuan each, the profit margin is still reasonable." If the purchase order is issued, we will naturally cancel the fine.”

"In addition, for basic livelihood necessities, your place is also a canteen. It is two different things from Michelin. Don't confuse it with Michelin."

In Dongguo, the prices of basic livelihood commodities are not determined by the market. The invisible hand of the state will participate in regulation.

To be precise, this is also the biggest difference between public ownership and private ownership.

In the early years, during another special period due to disease in Dongguo, some people raised the sales price of eggs many times, up to 2.59 yuan/piece. After the department intervened and inspected, it was found that the price difference between purchase and sale was as high as 151%, much higher than Similar products in surrounding markets at the same time.

In the end, he was sentenced to a more serious crime of illegal business operations.

In fact, a large part of farmers' income from these livelihood necessities comes from state subsidies. Therefore, if the price exceeds the guide price by too much, the money is equivalent to being made by middlemen, and must be controlled.

So this thing is not something that happens if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

It's up to the customer whether they are willing to pay more, or if they bid up to twenty-one, that's okay, but raising the price yourself is not okay.

"Boss, are these eggs still for sale? How much does one cost?"

At this time, the young woman walked up to the store manager with half a dozen eggs in her hands with a smile - looking quite successful as a 'villain'.

The store manager's eyes were cold, he chuckled, and pulled the egg back from the young woman's hand:

"Sorry, I suddenly don't want to sell it today. The store is going to close, so I won't sell it for any money."

The young woman was stunned.

If he doesn't sell it, then he doesn't seem to have gained anything for his mother-in-law.

In addition to breathing out, I got nothing. Even the things that could have been purchased are now unavailable.

Did you actually do yourself a disservice?
