Officialdom: From village head to provincial party secretary

Chapter 224: City-wide Crisis

Zhao Liming was stunned.

What he was most worried about was what kind of special envoy would be assigned to him.

Said he was a special envoy.

It would be better to say that they were just a bunch of trash sent here to cause trouble.

“Is there a specific job title?”

Zhao Limin asked.

"No, but their levels are not low. The lowest is the same level as me, and the highest is even half a level higher than you."

Chen Xiuzhen smiled bitterly.

She also knew the situation in Yuncheng.

The higher-ups gave Yuncheng this difficult problem.

It is undoubtedly making things difficult for them.

"Leave this to Xinran, she's good at it."

Zhao Liming's eyes flashed, and he spoke fiercely.

It's not convenient for me to do such things.

However, Ye Xinran is convenient.

Besides, this girl is very good at doing this kind of thing.

"Xinran?"

Chen Xiuzhen was stunned.

"Go ahead! She knows what to do."

Zhao Limin said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Chen Xiuzhen smiled bitterly and turned away.

With Ye Xinran's personality, he would definitely not let those special envoys have an easy time.

"lead!"

Chen Xiuzhen had just left and Zhao Liming had just put away the things in his hands when Li Wenhong rushed in hurriedly.

Li Wenhong is now not only in charge of publicity, but also in charge of the economic development of the entire city.

He is usually a busy man.

Unless it’s a big deal, I will never disturb Zhao Liming.

"what's wrong?"

Zhao Liming asked while looking at Li Wenhong with a smile.

At the beginning, Li Wenhong was the same as Chen Xiuzhen.

After sharing some of the burden, some of them are tiptoeing and are definitely trying to grab power.

But as the burdens become more and more numerous and heavier.

Only then did they understand Zhao Liming's true intentions.

"Please look at this."

Li Wenhong did not explain much, but handed a document to Zhao Liming.

Zhao Liming was a little curious, but he still took the document.

"What do you mean?"

When Zhao Liming saw the document, he was stunned.

I don’t quite understand what Li Wenhong means?

"The starting price of the ten new models launched by Guangfu has been directly reduced from 59,800 to 39,800. The prices of other models have all been reduced by 20,000."

"Not only that, my Yuncheng has more than a dozen shops of various sizes overnight, and the items sold in these shops are more than 50% lower than the market price."

"At present... there is an intense shopping frenzy in our Cloud City."

Li Wenhong looked at Zhao Liming seriously.

You know, once something is lower than the market price.

Then there must be something wrong with this thing.

But once, multiple items are lower than the market price at the same time.

Or even more than 50%?

That means there is something wrong with the market.

"..."

Zhao Liming was stunned.

He carefully calculated the price of cars in Cantonese.

Just calculate based on the previous 59,800.

A car will lose at least 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

This does not include labor and subsidy prices.

Once 120% of the contracts are gone.

Then Guangfu must at least make a loss of more than 70,000 per car.

But now?

The price in Guangzhou has dropped by 20,000 yuan per vehicle.

Even... at this time, more than a dozen shops appeared in Yuncheng at once.

The prices sold there are still more than 50% off the normal price.

Coincidence?

No, it's definitely not a coincidence.

That can only mean one thing.

Someone is secretly manipulating the market.

"Wenhong, immediately arrange for someone to secretly purchase all the goods in these dozen shops. Remember... you must not let them find out. It is best to purchase in batches. After the purchase, choose a warehouse to store them directly."

Zhao Liming immediately gave the order.

"Yes, leader."

Li Wenhong was stunned.

She knew what the leader meant.

Only in this way can the market be stabilized.

"Little snake!"

After Li Wenhong left, Zhao Liming shouted.

"lead!"

The little snake appeared.

The person who is truly responsible for Zhao Liming’s safety now is not Da Niu.

But a small snake.

After all, Daniu now has to not only ensure Zhao Liming's safety.

We must also ensure the safety of officials throughout the city.

So, he is very busy with his daily affairs.

But the little snake is different.

She is only responsible to Zhao Liming.

"Give me a detailed file on these dozen shops. Remember, you have to do it quickly."

Zhao Liming reminded the little snake seriously.

"Yes!"

The little snake was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and walked away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The little snake left and Zhao Liming fell into deep thought.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

If this kind of thing was caused by the Cantonese, then it would be easy to understand.

If foreigners were involved, it would be completely different.

This is because the other party is not just trying to disrupt the market in Yuncheng.

But the whole country.

Imagine this.

The selling prices of supplies have been greatly reduced in Yuncheng.

It just brings a certain impact to Yuncheng.

But what if the factories in Guangzhou, or even in Gangcheng and Yuncheng, lower their prices?

That affected the whole country.

"Prepare the car!"

Zhao Liming immediately stood up and left, shouting outside the office.

"Yes, leader."

A guard immediately went to prepare the car.

However, when Zhao Liming took a car and arrived at a busy street in Yuncheng.

He actually saw the scale of the supermarket in his previous life.

This store, which spans two or three floors, is packed with people queuing up to shop and to check out, all of them excited and cheerful.

It’s as if the money in my hand is not really money.

Logically speaking, as the mayor, he should be able to see this kind of scene.

You should be very happy.

But don’t forget, in this era, supplies were scarce, right?

Just because you have money doesn’t mean you can buy things, right?

What about now?

There are not only various items to buy here.

The price is even half of the normal price.

How big a consortium would be needed to be able to support this kind of consumption?

“Leadership…leadership…”

At this moment, Lin Hu appeared. With a panicked look on his face, he rushed out of a car and ran towards Zhao Liming.

"Say!"

Zhao Liming looked over immediately.

"All imported materials and supplies in Gangcheng have been reduced by 50% in price. Merchants and factory owners in Yuncheng have been in a serious shopping frenzy, and...some bosses have even mortgaged their factories to buy all kinds of materials."

Lin Hu said with an extremely ugly expression.

"Boom!"

Zhao Liming's mind was buzzing.

What he worried about finally happened.

Sure enough, it’s not just aimed at Yuncheng.

It's aimed at the national economy.

Imagine that at this time, prices were slashed, taking money out of people's pockets.

When the people have no money.

Then there are soaring prices.

So what happens?

Yes, there is a serious economic crisis.

It may even cause the economy to regress by decades.
