Feature 2: There is no obvious change in production cost and operating cost.

Feature 3: Take the lead in raising prices in a certain region or a certain field.

Feature 4: hoarding leads to a sharp rise in commodity prices.

As usual, let's first look at the noun explanation of price fraud.

Raise the price:

Refers to the trading activities in which speculators input orders at a price level slightly higher than the current price by spreading rumors, with the intention of forcibly raising the price level. Driving up prices is one of the means for speculators to make huge profits, which directly harms the interests of consumers and disrupts the socialist market order. This is illegal speculation.

How to judge whether it belongs to price fraud?

Let's take a look at some of its features:

Feature 1: Fabricate and spread information about price increase, and raise prices substantially.

This is generally a false news that manufacturers are about to raise prices, which leads to a great increase in market demand.

Feature 2: There is no obvious change in production cost and operating cost.

To put it simply, there is no obvious change in the cost of manufacturers, just to make huge profits and choose to raise prices substantially.

Feature 3: Take the lead in raising prices in a certain region or a certain field.

Take our epidemic period as an example:

Many of us need family isolation and silent management.

Then the demand for daily necessities will rise sharply in a short time.

If you find that the price of a brand's products has risen sharply only in your area, you need to pay attention to whether it may be driving up the price.

Feature 4: hoarding leads to a sharp rise in commodity prices.

Let me explain hoarding to you: it refers to the speculative behavior of hoarding goods and waiting for high prices to make huge profits.

Explain this feature first, that is to say, those who spread rumors to mislead the public, seek huge profits, take the lead in raising prices and hoarding are all within the scope of the key crackdown.

The above is the explanation for driving up prices.

During the epidemic, the shelves of daily necessities in major supermarkets were empty many times.

As long as the epidemic starts to get serious, everyone will consciously hoard things.

At this point, it is difficult for us to judge whether the snapped-up things are news released by merchants or spontaneous by consumers.

However, like the third point above, if you find that a certain brand only increases its price in places where the epidemic is serious, and the price increase in other places is not very severe, you can pay attention.

Finally, I don't think that during the epidemic period, when people all over the country need Qi Xin and Qi Xin to work together, there should be no businesses that will do such things as "making a fortune".

At the beginning of the 20 19 epidemic, the supply of masks could not keep up, and the mask factory needed to work overtime to make masks. At the same time, instead of raising prices, they chose to reduce prices and even support the front line for free.

Believe in the quality of our employees.
