Chapter 380 Let’s make some sense
"The information about the Baijiapu caravan has always been better than others. This matter is most likely true."
After people heard about it, they started to panic.
Disease.
Once the epidemic spreads on a large scale, the casualties will be immeasurable, and many people have begun to want to flee Junji Town.
But most people are waiting and watching, not because they are not afraid of death, but because they are reluctant to part with the family property they have purchased in Junji Town.
A more important reason was that they found that the Baijiabao caravan chose to guard various intersections in Junji Town and showed no signs of evacuating.
None of the Baijiapu caravanners with big business plans to leave, so there seems to be no need for them to run away.
Merchants who were previously flattered and wanted to sell more goods immediately closed their stores after receiving the news.
After they closed the store, they cursed in their hearts, Baijiabao Caravan was such a dog, they actually closed the store themselves without telling everyone.
But soon, some grain and oil stores quietly reopened after being closed for two days. At the same time, these grain and oil stores began to sell grain in limited quantities at high prices.
With no entry allowed and no way to transport food, the price of food will naturally be high.
But they had only been selling for two or three days, and soon they saw three grain and oil stores under the Baijiapu Caravan opened their doors.
Signs were put up at the entrances of the three grain and oil stores in Baijiabao Caravan, which read: Diseases are ruthless, but people are kind. The price of grain and oil has increased by two cents per catty.
The price of a pound has increased by two cents? !
After everyone was sure it was correct, they were stunned for a moment. They were both dumbfounded and grateful. After all, other stores had increased the price by more than ten or twenty cents per pound.
Moreover, if the grain and oil store of Baijiapu Caravan had not opened in time, those stores would probably have continued to rise.
Immediately afterwards, the non-staple food store owned by Baijiapu Caravan also opened for business. Again, there was no big price increase, just a modest increase of two or three cents.
The common people were grateful to the Baijiapu caravan for this move, but the store owners who were preparing to make a lot of money were dissatisfied.
In such a situation, the Baijiabao caravan actually ruined everyone's jobs and was a good person? !
Okay, your Baijiapu caravan should be a good person, right? If you can, just keep selling at this price.
We would like to see how much food your Baijiapu caravan has in store.
These stores quietly sent people to the grain and oil store owned by Baijiabao Caravan to buy grain.
They waited for the Baijiapu caravan's food to bottom out, and then they would sell the food they had hoarded at a higher price and make a profit from it.
How could such a trick be concealed from the people of Taohua Village.
"Auntie, look, should we give them some color?" Bai Dashan asked.
Bai Shanquan also said angrily: "Auntie, these people have gone too far. They are clearly taking advantage of our Baijiabao caravan."
At such a moment, instead of thinking about getting through the difficulties together, he only thinks about getting rich. It would not be an exaggeration to kill him.
Baitao waved her fleshy little hands indifferently, and said cutely: "Let them."
"Auntie, let's just leave them alone and don't do something?" Bai Dashan was a little unwilling.
"No need." Baitao: "Just pretend you don't know and let them buy it."
She has a shopping mall, so she is not afraid of not being able to buy food.
Baitao has already made a third of the usual grain selling price, and now it has increased by an impressive two cents per pound. This part is a pure profit.
Bai Shanquan was puzzled: "Auntie, are you just going to let them go like this?" He really couldn't swallow this breath.
"Yes." Baitao nodded: "There is no need to limit the amount to them, but we can't let them know all at once." If these people knew, they would not be so foolish as to stockpile food.
If they want to collect grain and make a fortune from disaster, it's strange that she won't let them lose half of their wealth.
Grain is divided into new grain and old grain. The price of old grain is naturally not as good as that of new grain.
The grain that these people are hoarding now is all new grain, but Baitao is not short of grain, so there will be no chance for them to sell the grain at a higher price.
At that time, they will either sell it at the original price, or they will hold on to the new grain and turn it into old grain.
But once the new grain turns into old grain, it has to be sold at a reduced price, and in the end it will still be a loss.
After hearing what she said, Bai Dashan and Bai Shanquan immediately understood what was going on.
Bai Dashan changed his angry look and grinned: "Auntie, I understand."
Bai Shanquan also laughed: "Auntie, you are so smart, let these people suffer this time."
Forget it if no one pays for disease prevention and epidemic prevention. If someone behind the scenes is dishonest and still plays the trick of making money from disaster, he will deserve to lose money when the time comes.
"Auntie, in the past few days, some merchants and people have come over spontaneously and want to join in guarding Junji Town. Do we want to accept them?"
Baitao didn't even think about it and said: "We will train them carefully and then arrange for them to participate in the prevention and control of the epidemic."
Although some people have been recruited from the mine, the temporary staff transfer is enough, but just in case, there is nothing wrong with having more people.
"By the way, secretly record these people, especially the merchants. If there is any suitable business in the future, you can give priority to cooperating with them."
"As for ordinary people, after the epidemic is over, some money and rice will be distributed to them. If there are job opportunities, they will be given priority."
Bai Dashan: "Yes, aunt."
At this time, these merchants and people did not know that they had obtained the good guy card of Baijiabao Caravan.
When they finally got the benefits, they were shocked and extremely happy and praised the Baijiabao caravan for their benevolence and righteousness.
Of course, this is a story for another day.
The epidemic was so violent that within a few days, people who fled were taken to Junji Town, and of course, to other places as well.
However, without exception, these people were given a stern warning before they entered Junji Town.
"People ahead, stop, where did you come from?"
People walking on the road were stunned for a moment when they heard the loud sound. They couldn't help looking up and looking around. Where did the sound come from?
"I'm asking you, where did it come from?"
Before these people could answer, they heard another questioning voice saying: "No matter where you are from, Junji Town is strictly prohibited from entering now. You should leave quickly."
News came one after another from other intersections that many people who fled had high fever.
This is an official road, and there will only be more or less people coming, so Bai Dayong and others who are in charge of the intersection here don't dare to relax at all.
Walk?
It is said that there is money in Junji Town. They managed to escape here but where can they go?
Just when these people were immersed in wanting to continue walking forward, they saw a row of arrows nailed into the ground one or two meters in front of them, leaving only the arrow feathers trembling slightly.
The loudspeakers installed on both sides of the road sounded again: "Let me say it again, no matter where you come from, Junji Town can only leave but not enter now!"
Bai Dayong held the walkie-talkie, frowned, and continued sternly: "If anyone dares to take a step forward, these arrows will not hit the ground next time!"
