Eagle Eye Observation: Isn't it great that you have a lot of people?
3. Ministry of Finance: Actively promote the trade-in of durable consumer goods such as automobiles and home appliances, and cultivate new consumption growth points.

Later, the policy opened up an opening, and you can spend money to "buy" a non-agricultural household registration, at least a few thousand yuan!
However, after "buying", the benefits of non-agricultural household registration have almost gradually disappeared, so that many people regret it, but they can no longer move their hukou back to the countryside.
In response to the words left by the ancestors: from Nanjing to Beijing, what you buy is not what you sell!

Eagle Eye Observation: Kudos to this teacher for his love!
The question is, in the countryside now, in 2024, why do you often wear a pair of "worn-out shoes"?
I just saw the central bank's announcement: the per capita deposit in the mainland in the first quarter was nearly 110,000!
The prices in your Zhoukou are not high, right?

The scope of this round of price adjustment is mainly concentrated in the United States, South America, the Red Sea and other directions.
Eagle Eye Watch: Freedom of navigation, this time from the Red Sea incident. Although the Houthis claim to only attack American and British ships, the shipping companies dare to believe that all the price increases will still be added to the cargo.
Believe it or not, do you believe it or not, the "anti-Americans" who applauded the Houthi attacks on American and British ships, either their children are in the United States, or they do not have any export goods?
