Huashan scenic area rice sells for 15 yuan, is it because of the high cost?

Said this news, right? Mount Hua scenic area responded to the rice sold 15 yuan: high cost does not exist consumer fraud this news video last, the announcer said: "I kind of understand why the people out of the country like to travel with instant noodles, it is because the scenic area is too expensive" for this sentence, the prime minister has a sentence to send back: the world actually someone stupid enough to mountaineering does not bring food, see people back some instant noodles to rise to the "national" point of view, I'm damn is the "national" point of view. I'm also drunk. I know how to make a bowl of instant noodles on the top of a mountain, but I don't know how to make a bowl of instant noodles on the top of a mountain. Do you know how hard it is to make a bowl of rice on a mountaintop? You think the sale of expensive don't be melodramatic, they have arms and legs, want to eat what they carry not just finish it, who can not stop you not to bring. Learn from others to pick the mountain worker: ======== cost problem ======== first of all is the cost of transportation. Said transportation costs are not high, @Chengxiaoxuch @ Wu Xiao Xiao, please watch: Huashan "sky price rice" why so expensive reporter investigation (Figure)_Daqin net This news article in front of the facts are investigated to obtain, the back of the calculation has a problem. We recalculate the facts according to the front: Master He: "By the pound, a catty 60 cents, which adds up to 100 pounds, earn 60 dollars." -This picker's cargo freight 0.6 yuan / pound. On the other hand, students who say they can carry 200 pounds, please watch out for the slap. Master He: "No, I'm picking this up from the West Peak Cableway, I'm the seventh course." ...... After nearly three hours of feet measuring, the 20 pounds of rice was sent to the destination - this section of the journey is not too far, you can run twice a day. If you count picking up garbage down the mountain, the estimate of a mountain picker earning 200 a day is correct. There are another seven legs of the journey ahead, which also need to be costed - how much does it cost? Because the ropeway is independently operated, so the supplies on the mountain need to charge, according to the provisions of a ton of supplies charged 1000 yuan, so that a pound is calculated 50 cents, in addition to like rice into rice also need water and gas, which are to be calculated. -Sodao and 0.5 yuan / pound, another 5 processes are not mentioned in the text, we counted by less, if the cost of these 5 processes an average of 0.3 yuan / pound per section, then another 1.5 yuan / pound. Then the total freight cost of transporting goods up to Dongfeng is at least 2.5 yuan/catty. Food waste because of the promotion of environmental protection also have to pay to transport down the mountain through manpower - the cost of transporting garbage down the mountain to throw away we accounted for 1 yuan / pound. Free hot water for tourists to provide the consumption of water alone is very large. --Eating is free to drink hot water. So how much does a bowl of rice cost for all the materials? We all count by the least. First of all, 3 two rice, 6 two water, 1 two gas, which is 1 catty; and then eat rice is to provide hot water, according to an average of 5 two hot water per customer (only one cup); customers more or less will produce some garbage in the store, according to an average of 2 two garbage thrown by each customer; then a bowl of rice only calculate the cost of transporting the material reached 1.5 catty x 2.5 yuan / catty + 0.2 catty x 1 yuan / catty = 3.95 yuan, close to 4 dollars. Plus the cost of the rice itself is close to 5 dollars. Not only that, the shopkeeper, the cooks, the waiters also have to eat, drink and sleep, which of their food, clothing, shelter and transportation is not shipped up like this? The Huashan in your mind is like this: (The picture above is one of the main peaks of Huangshan Mountain - Bright Peak) (The picture above is one of the main peaks of Huangshan Mountain - Bright Peak) In fact, the real path of Huashan Mountain is like this: (The upper left is the Heavenly Staircase, the upper right is the Cloud Staircase, the lower left is the Canglong Ridge, and the lower right is the (East Peak under the chess pavilion) (left on the ladder, right on the ladder, left under the Canglong Ridge, right under the East Peak under the chess pavilion) Now next to the ladder has been repaired steel escalators, but how difficult to climb Mount Hua from this picture can be seen. Thousand-foot building, hundred-foot gorge, carp back, these must pass through the place can be said to be the world's strange and dangerous. Reference: Huashan Heavenly Danger: Thousand Feet Block Hundred Feet Gorge (Figure) comprehensive consideration, the cost of a bowl of rice includes: material costs, including rice, drinking water, gas, electricity; transportation costs, including the transportation of all materials and the recycling of garbage; store, cutlery cleaning costs, including the washing of Je and cleaning water; store employees, including waiters, cooks, labor costs. No one wants to work on the top of the mountain if they are paid less; the cost of living of all the staff of the store, their food, clothing, housing and transportation all have to be transported up to the mountain, so you can imagine how high the cost of living; the investment in the construction of the store as well as the land rent; the operating costs of the Huashan Scenic Spot (a 5A national scenic spot) have to be apportioned to the head of the store, which means all kinds of management fees; after you have eaten your meal, you can take up a table and sleep in the warmth of the indoor beautifully. But there is only so much space and only a few tables, so you can't entertain others if you take one. Huashan's peak season is the holidays, and during the off-season you have to open even if you have few customers, and sometimes you lose money if you can't sell. Do you really think that all these workers hanging from steel cables to pick up garbage are learning from Lei Feng? Do you really think that all these water pickers are here to work out? Rice is warm and sweet in the mouth, every grain of rice is a mountain picker, cleaner, chef they are in the harsh environment with hard work and sweat in exchange. To be honest, 15 dollars a bowl of rice on the top of Mount Hua is simply the conscience of the industry! Still do not understand, Shaanxi people welcome you to travel to Mount Huashan, welcome to the field. You think 15 dollars is too expensive, then you think how much money is appropriate, 10 dollars? China's territory, the altitude of 2000 meters above sea level and no highway restaurant, rice is only sold for 10 yuan a bowl of trouble you to introduce a, so that we also long to see it. If you don't want to say that it is a monopoly and price gouging, what do you think about a 28 dollar cup of coffee in a coffee shop where the cost of materials is at most 2 dollars? ============ Talk a little bit off topic ============ thought, this 15 dollars of rice is not too expensive, but too cheap. The more limited the supply capacity of the commodity, the more its pricing should be in line with the economic laws of the free market - the scarcity of goods is more expensive, rather than the cost alone. When it comes to the evils of price-limiting behavior in a planned economy, we can start by looking at an extreme example, which is the Xingqing Park in Xi'an. Xingqing Park is the largest park in the Xi'an metropolitan area, and was built in the Xingqing Palace in the Tang Dynasty, which is the oldest historical site park in China. As a municipal park, it first sold tickets, with ticket prices reaching a maximum of 15 yuan and later stabilized at 5 yuan, and its internal greenery and landscape are very good. As a result, a few years ago, the Xi'an municipal government issued a paper, all municipal parks are free to open. This can be good, Xingqing Park's traffic surge, more than the rated capacity several times. The result is that the green space overnight all stepped on all the garbage. Holiday park as far as the eye can see all the black head, there are all kinds of people, fishing, small business, flyers, begging for food, picking up rags, square dancing all flocked in. The city's already scarce recreational green space, more than 1,000 years of history of the ruins of the park is in a state of disrepair! There is also the Qinglong Temple, too, to say more are tears. Why is it like this? It is because do not want to pay for the park, walking through the road will not miss, even if it is from the south gate into the north gate out, I have to come to dip into the bargain. When the flow of visitors far exceeds the capacity, even if the quality of tourists is high, it will inevitably lead to environmental degradation. When a park loses its original environment and function, will it be a blessing or a curse for people who want to go to the park for leisure? Coming back to the issue of rice. Rice on the Peak is a scarce resource (as mentioned above, you can hog the table after eating it), and if it is priced only according to its cost, something will go terribly wrong! Most of the people with low demand consume it, so what about the people with special needs? Imagine you hiked up a mountain without adequate preparation and ended up with not enough food, and when you got to the top and were cold and hungry, you wanted to be able to eat a meal in a warm indoor area. You can afford a $180 ticket, and you certainly don't care about spending a hundred or ten dollars on a meal when you're hungry and cold. As a result, you find that many people with plenty of food and water are occupying tables in the store to eat and chat while you have no place at all. All commodities only according to the cost of price limits is an obsolete planned economy thinking, so that scarce resources to meet the most needy people is the greatest goodwill and fairness!
