Chapter 308 opens
News of war suddenly spread among the people in Tonghai City, the market was in chaos, materials began to shrink, and prices began to grow.
But neither in Su Feng nor in the Sound and Film Bureau, Ye Bei had heard of the news, nor did he know where the news of the war began came from.
There is reason to believe that someone is deliberately spreading this kind of news and interfering with prices.
Unfortunately, the news has spread at this time, and the impact has been caused. It is obvious that the impact of soaring prices has risen a lot, and then all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation are rising.
When Ye Bei went to work, he could find that the employees' expressions were not as relaxed as last year. Single employees were fine, but the employees with family members all looked much heavier.
Prices have been rising, but wages have not risen, so who can afford to eat them?
"Director, someone has recently organized a protest to the Chamber of Commerce. Should we follow up and report?" Zhou Min ran over to tell Ye Bei that the news was so serious that it was protesting.
"Of course we have to report it." "I don't know who is spreading the war. If the war is really a war, these merchants are the most anxious. Before the troops move their food and grass, they will definitely buy food from the merchants or requisition food. But there is no sign that the army is collecting food on a large scale. I suspect that this is because some illegal merchants deliberately release these news to interfere with the market and raise prices." If the army wants to collect food on a large scale, Su Feng, as one of the money bags, cannot be unaware of it. Since Su Feng did not mention it, it is impossible to fight. Ye Bei has reason to believe that this is illegal merchants doing things.
Zhou Min nodded repeatedly: "What's hateful is that we can't find evidence from those profiteers. We hope that protests can work. Otherwise, if prices rise like this, they will not even be able to eat."
"Which employees in the bureau have more difficult families? I'll find a way to approve some affordable flour and support it first." Ye Bei knew that Wu Bing's father was the flour king, so there would be no problem asking him to wholesale flour.
"That's great, I'll go count now, Director."
Ye Bei picked up the phone and went to Wu Bing to talk about wholesale flour.
"Ye Bei, you are the fifth person to come to me today to take a walk, but everyone else can refuse. You are absolutely fine. How about I prepare five carts of flour for you?"
"Is the situation really that bad?" Ye Bei didn't expect so many people to look for Wu Bing to walk through the back door.
"It's worse than you think. Now my father's flour mill has started to equip guns, and I'm afraid someone will come to grab it. You don't know that the price of grain is rising every minute. If the problem is not solved, something really will happen. By the way, have you ever denied the rumors?"
Ye Bei smiled bitterly: "You are not unaware that government orders are always slow to react, so you can implement the tax orders as soon as possible. Other government orders are probably going to have to be discussed at the meeting."
"Hey, you have to deny the rumors at this time. If you don't deny the rumors, the prices will not stabilize." Wu Bing said: "I heard from my dad that there are still people going to the chamber of commerce to protest tomorrow, and my dad dare not go out."
The matter was far more serious than Ye Bei imagined. It was already late when he got the news. Now the destruction of the rumors has erupted.
"You must be careful, too."
"I know, by the way, how are you going to get your flour? Do I want me to call the factory security team and ask them to send a team of people to escort you?"
"That's so thankful." It's natural to be escorted with armed forces.
"Okay, I'll call the factory director and ask him to escort the five trucks of flour to the Sound and Film Bureau directly. Don't leave. The flour mill is in chaos now." Wu Bing was also worried that Ye Bei, a gentle scholar, would not be able to withstand it.
The phone hung up and called Zhou Min in again, asking him to prepare the warehouse to preserve the flour.
"Director, this matter cannot be known to other departments, otherwise they will definitely come and rob it." Zhou Min said he would do a good job of confidentiality, prevent fire, theft and theft and prevent colleagues.
"Okay, let everyone keep it secret." Ye Bei also knew that supplies were in short supply now, and Wuche flour must be a hot commodity: "By the way, let Chen Qian come in."
Ye Bei suddenly thought that Chen Qian was a special commissioner and she could go to talk to the upper class. Isn’t it over to tell her these things directly?
Chen Qian has not urged Ye Bei to make money quickly recently. It is probably because the fourth young master is too busy with his own affairs and is not in the mood to exploit Ye Bei.
"Commissioner, I hope you can report the price surge to the above. You should have heard of it. Even the employees of the Sheng Film Bureau have been affected. Something must have happened in the city." Ye Bei said.
Seeing that Ye Bei was so concerned about current affairs and compassionate with his subordinates, Chen Qian was very grateful for this behavior: "In fact, the upper class already knew about it, and the arresting house had already launched an investigation, but the news has been spread for a long time and the specific source has not been investigated clearly."
"I think the investigation can be put aside. The truth is to deny the rumors first, and the prices must be stabilized." Ye Bei only realized after hearing what Chen Qian said, so he knew that the above had already known it.
"This may also be that the enemy spies are sabotaging. It is not enough to just refute rumors. You must also catch the enemy spies." Chen Qian gave a different idea. She and Ye Bei thought it was different. Ye Bei believed that it was an illegal vendor, but Chen Qian believed that it was an enemy spies who were sabotaging.
"No matter what it is, you have to stabilize the prices first, otherwise it will be in chaos."
Chen Qian glanced at Ye Bei: "So what can you do to make the people believe that they won't fight? Even if they are published in newspapers or broadcasts in the radio, they cannot stop buying as soon as possible."
"Then you can contact the chamber of commerce first and ask them to reduce prices. Then you can adopt a purchase restriction method to prevent the people from rushing to buy. By the way, there is another way, which is to install a loudspeaker on the car and shout along the street." Ye Bei suddenly thought of a good idea: "That way, all the people can hear it."
It is absolutely fine to find Xiatian to create a big speaker: "If the upper class really wants to refute the rumors, you can leave it to our Sound and Film Bureau."
Chen Qian looked at the magical Ye Bei and couldn't see through it. Finally, she just turned around and said, "I'll ask now, don't leave. If there is any result, I'll come to the office to find you as soon as possible."
"No problem, I'll wait for you."
While waiting, Ye Bei was not idle either. He called Xia Tian and asked him to prepare the raw materials first. They wanted to make a big speaker.
"Do you use sound waves to attack ghosts?" Any new invention is applied to supernatural events at the first time.
Ye Bei thought that the strong light and the loudspeaker were indeed used in war, and there was also a very cool name - Death Light. In fact, it was to attack the ears and eyes and make the enemy lose its combat power.
"Can you effectively attack the ghost and then do experiments? Now you have prepared all the raw materials first, and I will start making them in the past."
