Indeed, at a glance, there is really no price increase. Not only did it not, but it went up a lot. However, with careful arrangements, many things have not only failed to increase prices, but have fallen in price.
For example, the price of urban public transport has not increased for many years, maybe more than ten years. Not only did it not go up, but it also realized half price or free for the elderly, which was considered as a price reduction. There are also city subways, most of which have not raised prices for a long time, and some have lowered prices because of public opinion.
There are also public toilets in the city. Under the toilet revolution, the conditions of toilets that used to be free of charge have improved, and it is not a price increase to continue charging. The toilets that used to charge fees have been transformed and the conditions have been greatly improved. On the contrary, they are free. Should this be a price reduction?
There are disposable pens. Has the price gone up over the years? No, on the contrary, there are more and more varieties, better quality and basically stable prices. Lighters, too, have never been raised in price, which is fair to smokers.
Wait a minute.
Things that haven't risen in price for more than ten years
Share it as a farmer.
Ten years ago, wheat was a pound, and now it is.
Ten years ago, corn was 90 cents a catty, and it is still.
The face value of RMB has not risen for more than ten years.
For example, 100 yuan was 100 ten years ago, and it is still 100 now. But its purchasing power has changed dramatically. The current 100 yuan is even worse than 10 years ago 10 yuan.
Now, how many people can remember what a dime and a penny look like? Not to mention that ten years ago, that is, twenty years ago, people gradually gave up using a penny. When I was a child, the song "Pick up a coin for the police uncle" was deleted from the primary school textbook. It is estimated that children after 00 don't even have a concept of two corners. At most, it is the concept of numbers and decimal points in the bank. Not a penny.
Nowadays, most people regard one yuan as the smallest coin, up to fifty cents. Many people say that they don't want to pick up a dime on the road. I found it, and there is no place to spend it.
Every penny lives in people's memory. After 00, I have no idea. Perhaps the collection value of old coins is another matter. In the 1970s and 1980s, a dime, a penny and coins were very valuable.
Don't repeat what others said.
I remember, ten years ago, a phone call was ten cents a minute, but now it's generally ten cents a minute. In a sense, the value of time has not changed.
The breakfast shop in the county, a ten-year-old shop, has basically not changed its price. A bowl of soybean milk is still one piece, a steamed stuffed bun is still one and a half pieces.
I only remember that when I was sensible, the lighter sold for 1 yuan, and it is still one yuan now.
There is also a lottery that sells bets from 2 yuan since it was put into the market, and now it also sells bets from 2 yuan.
There are many things that haven't increased in price for more than ten years! And many things that have not increased in price are closely related to everyone's life. Let's see what hasn't gone up in price.
1, the price of postal express didn't increase.
10 years ago, EMS was from 22 yuan, but it is still very reliable now. You can safely send your things to 22 yuan.
2. The mobile phone fee has not increased.
The cost of mobile phones has basically not increased. More than a decade ago, a long-distance call by mobile phone seemed to cost 45 cents a minute, but now it has dropped to the same level as the local phone bill. In other words, the cost of mobile phones has not increased, but actually decreased.
The price of TV has never gone up.
The domestic color TV set bought more than ten years ago, the 47-inch LCD is 3999 yuan, and now the 55-inch LCD is about 2500 yuan. So the price of TV sets has not gone up.
4. The price of notebook computer has not increased.
10 years ago, buying a laptop was basically five or six thousand yuan, or even more than 1000 yuan, but now, you can buy a laptop for three or four thousand yuan.
5. The bus price has basically not risen.
Buses in many cities used to be 2 yuan money more than ten years ago, and now they are still 2 yuan money. Even in many cities, such as Zhengzhou, Henan, the current bus is still maintained at the level of 1 yuan.
6. The price of lighters has not increased.
Now I can buy a lighter with 1 yuan, which is very convenient and practical. This seems to have not increased in price.
7. the price of cars has not increased.
More than a decade ago, cars were relatively expensive. At that time, many joint venture cars were much more expensive than now because there were few domestic cars. But now many joint venture cars, domestic cars are cheaper than before, and the functional configuration is much better.
8. Electricity prices have not risen either.
For more than ten years, the electricity price in many cities has basically not risen, and with the transformation and upgrading of power grids, the electricity price in many places has also declined.
To sum up, in the past ten years, the prices of many products and services have never risen, and many of them are products and services closely related to everyone's life.
Big tofu has not risen for more than ten years, soybeans have risen, dried tofu has risen from three yuan to five yuan, and tofu brain has risen from one yuan to two yuan. Why hasn't big tofu risen?
Machine-sold condoms: 65438+ 1 yuan 1 in 00.
It's been 10 years, Lao Wang said. Ten years have passed, can you find anything else without price increase?
marriage certificate
It used to cost 9 yuan to get a marriage certificate. It is free to get a marriage certificate in the imperial city now, but
But the cost of getting married is also rising sharply. ...
Toilets: There are more and more free public toilets.
Similar to the free opening of parks, in 10, there were more and more free public toilets everywhere. It used to cost twenty or forty cents to go to the toilet, but now there are fewer and fewer paid toilets and more free toilets. Moreover, the sanitary condition has been greatly improved, which makes us feel better and better when it is convenient.
Lottery: 2 Yuan Bo 5 million.
Many citizens also suggested: "2 yuan lottery has not risen, so hurry to buy lottery tickets." However, someone immediately retorted: "Although the lottery didn't go up, it's a pity that I won 5 million yuan now and barely bought a better 3-bedroom in a first-tier city after deducting taxes."
Parks: There are more and more free parks.
In Yuexiu Park and Liuhuahu Park in Guangzhou, you can see old people exercising everywhere, and a family of three is happy. The park allows citizens to get closer and closer to Castle Peak for free. Today, among 2 1 1 parks, there are 168 free parks in Guangzhou, accounting for about 80% of the total number of parks. 10 years ago, there were few free parks, such as People's Park and Youth Park.
Bus: You can get a discount if you take more seats.
It has become the common sense of citizens everywhere that the price of buses has not increased. For example, since June 65438+1 October1this year, Guangzhou has introduced a new bus preferential scheme, and 15 has a 60% discount on bus and subway rides, and the BRT fare has been changed from 6 yuan, 2 yuan to unified 2 yuan. Compared with before, the bus fare in 14 Guangzhou has not increased. Before 14, the bus fare was in 2 yuan, and the oil price did not exceed 1 yuan/liter. After today 14, 6.8 yuan/liter is required for No.93 oil.
Electronic products: more and more affordable
Computers, cameras, mobile phones and other electronic products were greatly reduced in price during 10, and many citizens were deeply touched. Recently, Mr. Chen of South China Normal University bought an ultra-thin notebook computer, "HD, weighing only 1.4kg, and the price is only over 3,000 yuan". Teacher Chen thinks it is very valuable. If you want to read such good articles often, please add WeChat: gmj894 15 years ago, Mr. Chen bought a new desktop computer at home. "That computer used the latest Intel Pentium processor. You should know that the computers at that time were Celeron computers." That computer cost more than 20 thousand yuan.
Internet cafe:
Whether you go to Internet cafes for World of Warcraft ten years ago or DOTA today, the cost of Internet cafes has never increased substantially, but the price has decreased. The environment of Internet cafes is getting better and better, the management is becoming more and more standardized, and the equipment is becoming more and more upscale, but the average consumption is still 3 hours to 4 yuan, which is almost the same as that of ten years ago. Internet cafes are really a good place to be happy and save money!
Car: Drive into the homes of ordinary people.
However, with China's accession to the WTO, this firm price phenomenon began to "collapse" in 2003. It can be said that the continuous listing of new cars after China's entry into WTO has touched the price lever, so manufacturers can no longer adopt the price strategy of "standing still" and have to make floating adjustments to meet the market demand. "Now a Santana is 70,000 to 80,000, which is worth the money, and ordinary working-class people can afford it."
Looking back on 2000, what models can you see on the road? Jetta, Santana and Fukang are vividly called "the old three", but now the new three are replaced by Fameilai Haima, Buick Excelle and Hyundai Elantra. At present, the prices of compact cars are mostly below 6.5438+10,000 yuan, and the prices of intermediate cars are almost all in the range of 6.5438+10,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan.
Air tickets: cheaper and cheaper "flying" into the homes of ordinary people.
A plane ticket used to cost one or two thousand yuan, but now it may cost two or three hundred yuan. Mr. Lu, a Taizhou native who is doing business in Jinhua, is deeply touched. Five or six years ago, he went to other places to talk about business and booked a plane ticket at a travel agency or post office. The price is several thousand dollars. "At that time, there were so many airlines, so don't be too expensive and don't discount."
"At that time, for many ordinary people, flying was quite extravagant. Many people can't afford to sit, preferring to take the train. It's different now. The train is speeding up and is about to enter the era of high-speed rail. Gradually, discounted air tickets have increased in these years. " Mr. Lu said that he was lucky to find a special ticket with a discount of 10% or 20% on the Internet, which was cheaper than the train ticket.
The prices of daily commodities: light bulbs, matches and lighters are still very low.
Years ago, a light bulb cost more than one yuan, a box of matches cost 10, and a lighter cost 50 cents. These small commodities are still at this price today.
Bicycle: the value of 100 yuan has not changed.
10 years ago, there were endless bicycles on the street, which was a beautiful scenery. Now, although there are fewer bicycles, there are more cars of all kinds. The price of bicycles has never changed. At that time, the price of a bicycle was mostly three or four hundred yuan, but now it is possible to buy a bicycle with more than one hundred yuan.
Telephone internet access fee: save at least half.
salary
Having said that, I finally want to get to the point! After so many years, this salary increase is also very capricious, and it will not rise for ten years! The growth rate of wages will never keep up with the soaring prices! A thousand words converge into one sentence: "Boss, raise your salary!" !
With the development of economy, all prices are rising, and everyone thinks that the biggest increase is the house price, from 2,000 to 20,000, or even 50,000 to 60,000.
But there are also some things that have not increased in price for more than ten years.
One is the lottery. The lottery is still two yuan. More than ten years ago, I won a batch of 5 million yuan, and I can buy several suites in the city center. Now I won 5 million, so I can only pay the down payment.
The second is the electricity bill. The electricity bill still insists on more than 50 cents a year, and there has been no price increase for more than ten years. And now the number of power outages is obviously less. It was said that there was a power outage more than ten years ago, and now the wires are usually notified when they are repaired.
The third is the bus fare. The bus fare has been two yuan since it was changed to coin, and there has been no price increase. If you swipe your card, you can get a 20% discount, so that everyone can feel the cheapness of public transportation.
In addition to these, of course, there are many things that have not increased in price and can be exchanged in the comment area.
In addition to the price increase, there are some price reductions. Such as the prices of motorcycles, cars, mobile phones and computers.
In recent ten years, China's overall prices have been in a rapid growth trend, especially housing prices, medical care, education, and many things in daily life have also increased substantially (such as clothes, pork, vegetables, etc. ); However, among the numerous increases, some products have remained unchanged for decades, and even some prices have dropped.
There are too many things that have not increased in price. For example, I bought a lottery ticket, and for 20 years, the price was stable in 2 yuan. There is also a lighter for smoking, and the price has always been one yuan, which has not changed; For roadside stop signs, a newspaper has always been two yuan; In addition, the prices of Coca-Cola, mineral water, public utilities, etc. It has been very stable and basically unchanged, so there are still many things that have not increased in price. Life is not short of beauty, but a pair of eyes for discovery.
In reality, the prices of some products fall instead of rising. The most obvious ones are vehicles and electronic products, such as mobile phones, motorcycles and televisions. The Suzuki motorcycle my family bought in the late 1990s was RMB 6.5438+0.3 million at that time. Now the price of Suzuki motorcycle of that model in JD.COM is basically between RMB 5,000 and RMB 6,000. Moreover, the mobile phone, Nokia N95,6000 yuan bought in 2007. Of course, there are more than 6,000 mobile phones now, but the price of more features than N95 is much lower than that of N95 at that time, especially considering the devaluation of the currency. In the past, 20,000 to 30,000 mobile phones were more exaggerated.
Many people don't understand why the price of electronic products has dropped. The main reasons are the development of technology, large-scale production and the decline of marginal cost of products; Secondly, there are more and more manufacturers, and the competition is fierce, so the price of electronic products drops and the profit decreases.
To sum up, in fact, China's M2 (money supply) has far exceeded China's GDP in recent ten years, and the money has been overspent. In theory, the money has been overspent, and all commodity prices will go up, but this has not happened in reality. The key point is high housing prices, which may be the only advantage of high housing prices. The overspent money was locked in real estate and did not flow out to other commodities, and the increase of all many commodities was not obvious.
