After telling Zhu Guoxiong some information he got from Dimitri, Wan Feng spent more than ten days in a daze.
With Zhang Zhiyuan in charge of the warehouse's purchasing and shipping, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
In order to cope with the soaring prices caused by the price breakthrough that has already begun, the six warehouses in Xiaoyanshan are filled with various goods, four of which are for non-staple food.
These goods are enough to last until August and September.
As for the steel coming from the other side, Wan Feng was basically only responsible for checking it. Most of the time he didn't even look at it, and it was all handled by Zhang Shiqian.
There is no need to worry about Zhang Shiqian playing tricks. He has fixed his shipping price. Even if Zhang Shiqian has the ability of Sun Wukong, he will not be able to make any waves in his hands.
As for what kind of tricks he could play with other people, Wan Feng was too lazy to ask.
This year is a year of price breakthroughs. The government's original intention was to eliminate the social contradictions caused by the dual-track price system, but because the steps were too radical, it became a failed experiment.
In March, the price hike started in Shanghai, where prices of 280 commodities were adjusted. Most of these commodities were small commodities and daily necessities closely related to people's lives, with price increases ranging from 20% to 300%.
This trend spread across the country at lightning speed. By May, prices of all kinds of goods in the central cities of the country were rising like a storm.
Prices suddenly got out of control, inflation followed, and coupled with panic, a buying frenzy formed across the country.
How far has the panic buying gone? It's become so intense that people buy anything they see, regardless of whether it's useful in their lives.
People took out the money they saved in the bank and bought all the material things they could see, which naturally caused inflation.
The inflation caused by the panic buying spree has in turn caused an unprecedented shortage of production materials, forcing countless companies across the country to suspend operations and become on the verge of death due to lack of materials.
Therefore, the price breakthrough experiment failed in October, and the central government resumed macroeconomic regulation.
Remote cities like Heihe have also been affected, with pork prices rising to around 1.5 yuan per pound.
The price of river fish, which originally cost more than 20 cents per pound, has now risen to 70 or 80 cents per pound.
This is simply unaffordable to eat.
In order to save money, a man was sitting on the fishing platform by the river and fishing. Next to him was a fish bucket that looked very real, with two or three big and small fish in it.
After Guo Wuqing, who came to deliver the goods, counted the goods and settled the payment, he had nothing to do so he ran to the riverside to watch Wan Feng fishing.
"These two fish you caught are enough for fish soup."
"Fishing is not about how many fish you catch, it's about your state of mind. You don't understand that."
"Haha, that's a pretty good excuse for not catching any fish. The way you hold the fishing rod, I know your mind isn't on fishing at all. I wonder what kind of tricks you're thinking up."
Guo Wu guessed correctly, Wan Feng’s mind was really not on fishing.
He is thinking about the problem and studying countermeasures.
The price control campaign in 1988 ended in failure, but the problems it caused lingered in society for a long time and directly led to many serious consequences.
The government began to take action to rectify governance, tighten monetary policy, cancel countless infrastructure projects, and send millions of migrant workers back home.
Countless township enterprises were surveyed, and the conclusion of the survey was that individual businesses had serious tax evasion problems.
Thus, a nationwide crackdown on tax evasion began. By the second half of 1989, the number of self-employed individuals in the country had decreased by three million, and the number of private enterprises had been reduced by more than half.
This is just the first step in governance and rectification, there will be a second step.
The second step is to govern and rectify emerging enterprises outside the state-owned system, because they are considered to be the culprits who compete with state-owned enterprises for raw materials and markets and cause inflation.
As a private enterprise, Wanfeng's business could not help but be affected.
In order to minimize the losses, he must take countermeasures now.
He had been sitting by the river for several hours. Although he hadn't caught many fish, he had come up with many ideas for dealing with the crisis.
Since we are cracking down on tax evasion, there cannot be any gaps in this regard.
Wanfeng's own enterprises, Nanwan Factory and Garment Factory should not have such problems. Paying profits and taxes to the state has been the basic policy of the factory since its establishment.
However, his own company does not have this problem, but Wan Feng cannot guarantee that the factories that provide supporting services to the Nanwan factory do not have this problem.
How many people can control themselves in the face of interests?
He will go back in two months to take care of this issue and ask these companies to conduct self-inspections. If there is any problem of tax evasion, it should be resolved immediately and the amount that should be paid should be paid immediately.
Don’t let it be discovered and affect the production progress of the Nanwan factory.
These problems are easy to solve, but there is one problem that is not so easy to solve.
It’s about Wan Feng’s transaction with Heihe and Maozi.
In this regard, although some taxes have been paid at the customs when the traded items arrive, the taxes paid by Wanfeng after the transaction arrives at the shore can only be considered dispensable.
This does not mean that Wan Feng is evading taxes, but he certainly cannot escape tax evasion.
And the number is not small.
However, if this issue is linked to the military, it doesn't seem to be a big problem. If the military says they will pay part of the money themselves, the matter will probably be over.
"Guo Wu, once the trade with Russia ends, what will you do when you return to the Third Branch?"
After having a plan in mind, Wan Feng started chatting with Guo Wu.
"What to do? Farming... That's impossible. I can only continue to do business. If that doesn't work out, I'll open a small shop."
"Haha, now you three each make hundreds of thousands a year, and you're going to go back and run a small shop that only makes a few thousand a year? I don't believe it."
Guo Wu took out a cigarette and lit it. "If I have nothing to do, I can only open a small shop. It's better than farming, right?"
"Why don't you open a business in Wu County? Buy goods from the Wahou market and deliver them to small shops in the countryside. You happen to have a car, and you could make a couple hundred thousand a year by traveling back and forth between Wu County and Wahou once a month. Isn't that great?"
"I've thought about this question, and I'll give it some thought once business here stops."
In Wan Feng's eyes, Guo Wu's matter was not a big deal at all. He said that these nonsense were nothing more than an excuse to vent his joy after finding a solution to his own problem.
Feeling that he had not gained anything from fishing today, Wan Feng put away his fishing gear, looked at the two and a half fish in the bucket, thought for a moment, and poured the fish in the bucket back into the river.
"Go back and have lunch."
Carrying their fishing rods and empty buckets, Wan Feng and Guo Wu staggered towards the base. They unexpectedly saw a military jeep at the gate of the base.
Wan Feng recognized this license plate number. This was the car Zhu Guoxiong came in that day.
