Shanghai introduced "community group buying" control measures to drive up prices. How can it help local epidemic prevention and control?

Is Shanghai targeted? Community group purchase? The introduction of control measures such as price gouging has a very positive impact on local epidemic prevention and control. First of all, curbing price gouging can calm residents' anxiety. After all, everyone's economy is tense during the epidemic, and buying high-priced goods will only make them more anxious. In addition, giving relevant control over price gouging can also teach many businesses a lesson, so that they can understand that price gouging is absolutely not allowed at any time.

Community group buying is expensive, and relevant departments have begun to control the epidemic in Shanghai, which is complicated and serious. Many residents don't have fresh vegetables to eat, so everyone thinks of online shopping for necessities such as vegetables and fruits. But now many supermarkets have begun to engage in community group buying, that is, how many orders a community has to charge, and then the price can be cheap. But in fact, the fruit and vegetable packages bought in many communities in Shanghai are more expensive than those bought separately, which is unacceptable. Bian Xiao also bought this high-priced group purchase package. It's really annoying after buying it back. Fruits and vegetables are not fresh, and the price is really outrageous. However, because of the difficulty in distribution during the epidemic, merchants can only buy together, and this group purchase method is time-consuming and takes a long time to get the order number. It was annoying at first, but the high price was even more annoying. Fortunately, Shanghai has begun to control, which can also bring some comfort to residents.

During the epidemic period, the prices were inflated, indicating that some merchants were unscrupulous. Bian Xiao saw that during the epidemic period, many communities in Guangzhou distributed 10 yuan vegetable packages to residents, which contained fresh fruits and vegetables, rich ingredients and absolutely cheap. Many merchants in Shanghai raised commodity prices to outrageous levels during the epidemic, which made residents unbearable. They originally wanted to buy together to save money, but they didn't know how expensive it was until they bought it. Bian Xiao believes that price fraud should stop completely during the epidemic. At the very least, it should be genuine, and residents should pay high prices for defective products. This kind of mood will ferment rapidly during their stay at home, leading to an increase in residents' depression.

Bian Xiao believes that it is very important to ensure that people's livelihood materials are sufficient during the epidemic, and ensuring that residents buy good quality and low price goods is something that the industrial and commercial bureau and other relevant departments must manage.
