"Master Kong is going to increase the price? Who is behind the haze of inflation"
The dark clouds of rising food prices are looming over the sky again! Just now, there was news that Master Kong's instant noodles, which are loved by Chinese people, will increase in price across the board. The manufacturer's salesman is said to have begun to verbally inform the dealer to "warm up" the price increase.
Instant noodles, as a civilian delicacy on the tip of the tongue, have been an indicator of food and clothing since ancient times. Master Kong's action undoubtedly whetted the appetite of countless foodies. However, just listening to the word price increase, everyone must be worried - is the wallet going to suffer again?
As early as the beginning of the year, there were already signs that upward pressure on prices was accumulating. From meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits, to grains, oils, and seasonings, it can be said that there is everything. Nowadays, even instant noodles, a livelihood product, cannot escape the doom, which is shocking. So why is the price of instant noodles rising? What are the underlying reasons behind it?
According to the disclosed information, Master Kong's instant noodles are facing a price increase. The main reason is the increase in the price of raw materials. It can be seen that the claws of high inflation are frantically extending to various fields. Taking wheat as an example, due to the decrease in the sown area of wheat in China this year and the frequent extreme weather. As a result, wheat production has been hindered and the supply side has been restricted. At the same time, international wheat prices continue to rise. Wheat is scarce and costs are increasing. It will undoubtedly put pressure on the terminal price of instant noodles.
The rising cost of raw materials is just the tip of the iceberg. In addition, factors such as labor shortages and soaring logistics costs have pushed up the overall cost of production. In addition, the repeated epidemics, repeated blockages in consumer demand, and inventory pressure have also brought a heavy burden to enterprises. I had to share some of the pressure by raising prices.
It can be said that the price of Master Kong's instant noodles has increased this time. It reflects the "inflation haze" of the entire industry and even the manufacturing industry. The so-called price increase is to pass on upstream costs to downstream consumers. Helplessly, enterprises can only seek a way out of price increases to survive in the cracks.
Once the company fully implements the price increase policy, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. What may be followed is a violent inflationary storm that will leave consumers struggling to cope. It is foreseeable that wave after wave of price increases may be about to smash hard.
What we need most now is strong macroeconomic regulation from the government to curb the soaring momentum of prices. Only by coordinating the supply and demand ends and coordinating the interests of the upstream and downstream industrial chains. Only by balancing investment and consumption can we fundamentally prevent the exacerbation of hyperinflation. This is indeed a big test, and the government needs to use a steady response to eliminate the worries of the people.
But at the end of the day, each and every one of us is a force driving price volatility. Only when everyone works together to be frugal and rational in consumption, and work together with enterprises and businesses can we curb the rolling tide of price increases. After all, all walks of life are related to common interests. We should remain calm and considerate in the midst of understanding and consideration, rather than dwell on irrational behavior of price hikes, so as not to fall into a vicious circle.
Inflation is, in the final analysis, a gradual accumulation of volume. And each of us has the power to make that last drop drop. Perhaps it is only when we don't do the "last push" that prices will really stop rising. And once the price rise tide hits, don't let the panic blind us. Maintaining one's own concentration and waiting for the market to self-regulate is also a precious wisdom to tide over difficulties together.
