Even experienced people like Du Hong were shocked, let alone ordinary people.
Everyone was stunned by the items that could be redeemed here, but most people couldn't figure out what those items were used for, so most people chose to exchange them for food! Many people exchanged 2 steamed buns and a large bowl of rice.
They want to take it back and give it to their families to taste.
For such a situation, Jiang Yan Hai has long been prepared. There are specially prepared stainless steel bowls here, which are then covered with lids and packed in cloth bags for them to carry back. Plastic bags are not used for the time being, mainly because there is no recycling method here.
Using plastic bags may cause some problems, so just use cloth bags, and the cost will not be much higher.
Everyone chooses to redeem whatever they want, whatever they want to redeem anyway.
It wasn't until they were done that Jiang Yan Hai sent a car to take them back.
At this time, Wang Xue Bing realized what Jiang Yan Hai was going to do, "Brigade Commander, do you want to fix the currency system?"
"It can't be said about currency. It's just an experiment. If it can really be replaced in the future, it will be much easier to replace it with our credibility guarantee." Jiang Yan Hai said with a smile.
Wang Xue Bing was a little surprised. He really didn't think of this. He didn't expect Jiang Yan Hai to even think of this. As for whether this thing can be replaced, it depends on whether Jiang Yan Hai's reputation is strong or not.
As long as you can convince all these people that this thing can be bought... or exchanged for something, then it can be used as currency!
"Then if that's the case, why don't you just ask the higher-ups to print a batch of banknotes for you from the beginning." Wang Xue Bing is a little confused as to why Jiang Yan Hai would make it so complicated.
"No, no, no, political commissar, these are not banknotes or currency, but meal tickets! These are meal tickets for our internal circulation!" Jiang Yan Hai smiled and shook his finger.
Wang Xue Bing is a little confused and doesn't understand the difference.
"Actually, this thing is an experiment of mine. If we come up with a currency and tell them that this is the money we use, when they hear the word money, they will be alert in their hearts and instantly alert. Some people will even be resistant and not believe it."
"But if it is a meal ticket, then there is no problem. This thing is for our internal use. We do not circulate it to the outside world. We only provide it to them when they eat. As for the extra, it is just to facilitate their choice of what to redeem, and they will not be resistant to it."
Jiang Yan Hai smiled and explained to Wang Xue Bing that in fact this is a problem of people's hearts. Sometimes if you change your approach, the situation you face will be completely different.
Wang Xue Bing looked full of admiration, and said that as old political commissars like them, he felt that if Jiang Yan Hai could handle these things by himself, he would definitely be an excellent political cadre!
It's just that he doesn't like to delve into these things, so he asked him to come over to assist in the work. If he just tosses around casually, he is thinking more long-term than he thought!
With the successful example on the first day, Gong Jian and the others were already prepared, because Jiang Yan Hai told him that there would be a lot of people coming the next day.
In fact, Jiang Yan Hai guessed it accurately. There were a lot of people coming the next day, knowing that there was food available, and there was also meat to eat! And you get paid too! Everyone is here! See if the other party will accept it!
However, Jiang Yan Hai, who was observing the scene through the camera, was somewhat surprised by the people who came, because Jiang Yan Hai's original idea was that as long as you can move, even if you are a child, I will accept you without fail, and everyone will be treated equally.
But among the people who came, there were no children who were too young or people who were too old. Even some who looked like children were actually thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were all ready to work.
In other words, everyone who comes can work! And the number of people on this day was 1.5 times more than yesterday!
"Gong Jian, when you register, secretly reveal to them that we can accept some children as long as they come." Jiang Yan Hai communicated with Gong Jian through the communication channel.
When Gong Jian heard what Jiang Yan Hai said, of course he knew what it meant, and he naturally followed the order. Of course, this cannot be said too obviously. It can be said very implicitly, or it can be said with great compassion.
In a word, I can't say it openly. In fact, I just want to see how these people choose.
On the third day, what surprised Gong Jian and the others was that although there were a few more people on the third day, they were not as people who came just to mess around as they had imagined. The people who came were all capable of working.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yan Hai they all felt a little emotional. Sometimes these ordinary people are really... people who have experienced suffering are more grateful.
Of course, after testing for two days, there is no need to test again, because as time goes by, there will always be people who come with the mentality of giving it a try. After the first one like this appears, there will be countless more, and when there are more people like this, the strong laborers in front will naturally feel dissatisfied.
So later Jiang Yan Hai made an announcement that they had enough manpower for the time being and no new personnel were needed.
I observed later that in the first five days, almost everyone spent all the extra five meal tickets at night after getting them, including Du Hong.
By the sixth day, seven people did not choose to spend the five meal tickets. On the seventh day, the number of such people increased to more than sixty.
On the eighth day, the number of people expanded to more than half.
On the tenth day, the first person to save their meal stamps exchanged 25 meal stamps for a bag of flour.
Soon after, someone also exchanged food. Jiang Yan Hai The other daily necessities they prepared were ignored at all. Everyone chose only one thing, food!
"Brigadier, do you want to remove these things?" Wang Xue Bing asked, looking at the daily necessities that no one cares about, such as toothpaste and toothbrushes... As you can imagine, no one will exchange them for a long time.
"No, don't remove it, the varieties need to be increased! Later, we are going to have the construction team build houses here at Yang Shu Town. After the houses are built, some logistics personnel will come over and place these products in these houses. That's it for the time being, but their types will increase. For example, disposable lighters can be added." Jiang Yan Hai shook his head seriously.
