Business is light, and a friend who does car maintenance spends most of his time drinking tea in the glass room. It turned out that there were two workers, both of them skilled, who did not return to work after returning home during the Spring Festival in 2022.
There is an aquarium in the glass room. I stood with a cup of tea and looked at it. Suddenly, I was surprised: "Isn't there sea water here?" Five or six slap-sized tilapia, turtles and fish in the ocean actually live together.
A friend said, of course it is sea water. Tilapia were caught by fishing enthusiasts from the river, thrown into the sea, and lived well.
Tilapia has a strong vitality, and can survive in rivers and lakes, ponds, creeks and even small ditches.
This is called hypersalinity. Humans are the most competitive in nature. In addition to brain capacity and upright walking, a very important reason is that humans are omnivorous. If they eat everything, they can easily survive. to starve. This is also a kind of saltiness.
So what is "salt" to modern people? is the market. The increase in salinity implies the expansion of the market.
With the reform and opening up, the Chinese went to the world market, and the Chinese market was also open to the world, just like tilapia suddenly entered the sea. People are under the pressure of strong competition, surrounded by different civilization habits, but survived to become stronger. Although the process was very difficult, many fish still had grey eyes and their stomachs upside down on the water.
My friend is from Northeast China, and the whole family moved to Guangdong. The connection and expansion of the market is the most efficient tool for the flow of people and materials. Whenever there is a chance, people and things will arrive.
For modern people, what is "salt"? is the market. The increase in salinity implies the expansion of the market.
"People can make the best use of their talents, the land can make the most of their benefits, the materials can make the most of their use, and the goods can make the most of their flow-these four things are the great classics of prosperity and the great foundation of governing a country." In 1894, Mr. Sun Yat-sen wrote to Li Hongzhang, It means reform and opening up, the formation of a unified large domestic market, and extensive trade with overseas based on their respective advantages. In a word, it is to form an effective market mechanism. It can even be said that Mr. Sun's succinct description of the social situation refers to the dream of modernization at that time. The difficulty is that the formation of the modern economic and social situation requires the support of a series of conditions such as national unity, national independence and people's freedom, as well as the nature of the government and the capacity of the country.
Now we are facing a new problem, which may actually be an old one: the unified market is shrinking for various reasons.
A phenomenon is that everything has become very expensive, especially living materials. Seafood is very expensive, and the Pipi shrimp, which is seven or eight centimeters long, has risen to 100 yuan per catty. Raised in the water basin of the seafood stall, they are alive and alive, and they are still full of vitality when they are brought home. Poured into his own basin, poured fresh water, and immediately curled up, motionless.
This reminds me of my friend's aquarium again. If all fish other than tilapia are thrown into fresh water, they will definitely "turn up the fish belly white". The salinity drops, the environment suddenly reverses in the opposite direction, and the world becomes quieter than most marine animals can stand.
In recent years, the epidemic, trade barriers, nationalism, and war have destroyed the world market, and market opportunities have been drastically reduced. It is easy to move forward, invest if the production capacity is insufficient, change clothes when they are small, and the expanded market will provide future cash flow support; it is difficult to go backward, machines will be depreciated there, idle factories will incur costs, and redundant personnel will cause I can't afford it, and people with over-sized clothes that are too thin generally don't look good. On the other hand, 10.76 million college graduates are in need of jobs.
The ability of localities to cut off the unified market is surprising. In order to protect the region under the pressure of the epidemic, a small place can restrict the flow of goods and people in a simple way, or even cut off the road directly. It's like constantly applying fresh water to the struggling Pippi shrimp.
If there is a problem in the external market, we are still working hard to protect it, but it cannot be completely compensated. There are very few economies capable of "internal circulation", which is an enviable feature of China. The external environment cannot see an improvement trend, and the smooth flow of the "internal circulation" is the last way out. This road must not be blocked by oneself.
