Chapter 35 Contribution Points
As the saying goes, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must also be on guard against others. Therefore, it is not excessive to be wary of strangers. Lan Jin reminded Huang Jinghe purely because the child showed kindness to her twice, so it makes sense.
But they didn't miss the key point of what Lan Jin had just said, "You said someone picked your door lock last night?"
"Yes, the sound was very small, I didn't hear it, but Nana heard it. I didn't wake up when it ran to the door. Later, I don't know if it was because of the noise, Nana barked 'Wang Wang' several times at the door. When I woke up and went to the door again, I didn't hear any movement outside.
Because I was hesitant to open the door at night, I opened it during the day to check. The door lock did show signs of being pried open. My door was newly replaced when I first moved in, so I'm usually very careful with it. I knew at a glance that the marks weren't caused by me."
Knowing this, Lan Jin actually had no problem. After the police took statements from everyone in the building, the two of them were no longer noticeable. This was because the couple had almost rented out the rooms of everyone living alone in the building, but prying open a door was Lan Jin's first time.
Of course, that was because she had a dog at home, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hear it. But if she didn't have a dog, and these two people really opened the door, the consequences would have been unimaginable...
These people who had their food borrowed from them didn't seem to be very suspicious, but in fact, each of them was suspicious, even those who had not had their food borrowed from them. Otherwise, how could these two people have been killed?
But speaking of the methods used by these two people, it is also something that confuses the police. The doors and windows are all closed, and there is no poisonous fog in the corridor. How did these two people lie on the lawn outside?
This was definitely a terrible incident, and the police would definitely continue to investigate. But whether they could find the perpetrators or not...it had nothing to do with Lan Jin. After all, judging from the current situation, there was really no way for them to get these two people downstairs while ensuring that there wasn't any poisonous fog in their house.
Since the cause could not be found, the case naturally could not be solved, so the case eventually became an unsolved case, but that is a story for later.
…
At the same time, the people from the higher authorities issued a new order at this time, which is to revoke the private business licenses of all merchants and forcibly collect all the materials in the stores of each merchant. At the same time, these materials will also be exchanged for contribution points and returned to the merchants.
This process is certainly not smooth, but we have to do it. After all, no matter how big the warehouse is, it cannot withstand the consumption of so many people. Recycling is indeed a good way.
For the rest, the staff have to communicate with the merchants themselves.
As for contribution points, they will officially become the circulating currency in China starting in May 2121. As for how to store, obtain and use contribution points, community staff will come to your door to activate and provide guidance, so residents can just wait at home with peace of mind.
The instructions from above only mentioned contribution points but did not explain RMB, which made everyone a little confused.
But Lan Jin knew that since the earthquake, all banks have ceased to operate. The money people deposit in banks will forever become a string of numbers. Online payments that have been around for a hundred years will also become a thing of the past. Even those Z coins will disappear from the public's sight forever after being exchanged for supplies under the subsequent instructions from above.
Once this news was announced, almost the entire China was in an uproar.
There's no way. Contribution points are contribution points. They can accept it under special circumstances, but what about RMB? You have to explain its follow-up. It would be fine if it can still be used later, but if it can't be used, what about the money they saved before? Will it be gone just like that?
But..., isn't it gone?
Then the group started to make noise again.
"No, it's gone just like that. I worked so hard to save so much money and was planning to buy a house, and it's gone just like that?"
"That's right, if you say it's gone, then it's gone. But what will we eat after the poisonous fog dissipates and everyone returns to work?"
"Yes, then when we return to work, what will happen to our salaries? Will we also receive contribution points?"
"No, don't you all understand? It's still unclear whether we can resume work after this."
"I still have the same question. How can we live? We can't go without food."
…
In fact, it is not that pessimistic. Work can still resume, but not all industries can resume work, and not everyone can return to their original jobs. After all, in such an environment, employers really cannot afford so many people.
Look, although the relief supplies are small, they are still distributed every week. However, those supplies are just to keep people alive.
As for the rest of the people, there will be work arrangements for them later, such as hard labor and so on. Anyway, as long as they are willing, there is always a way to support themselves.
On the same night that this news was released, community staff also issued a notice.
"Contribution points can be exchanged for supplies at home. Supplies include but are not limited to food, such as gold, silver, iron, glass, wood... In short, anything you don't use at home can be exchanged for contribution points. Different supplies have different prices, but the prices of all supplies are unified across the country. There will be no errors, so please rest assured.
The redeemed contribution points will be immediately stored in everyone’s residence permit. We will come to your door tomorrow to activate this function for your convenience in the future.
In addition: If any residents have items they want to exchange, please bring them along with your residence permit tomorrow when it is activated. If you want to exchange them later, there will be a fixed time, not just anytime. Please take note of this.”
As for why this function is activated in the residence permit instead of the SF permit.
In fact, it is because some children are too young to apply for SF certificates, but the residence permit is different. As long as you are from J City, oh no, as long as you are a person with a place to stay, whether you are from this city or not, you must apply for a residence permit, adults and children are all the same.
With this certificate, firstly, you can prove that you are a resident of the jurisdiction and can use the access control system to enter and exit freely. Secondly, there is a chip in the residence permit, which allows you to take the bus, subway, and shop in designated supermarkets and convenience stores. It is very convenient to use, so the residence permit has long been integrated into everyone's life.
Since everyone has it, using a residence permit to store contribution points is naturally the best choice. Otherwise, they would not be able to create a container for everyone to store contribution points in such a short time.
Thanks to Bu Ke Wo Qing Er for the reward, thank you!
