There is a market where two people are selling sesame cakes, and there are only two people. We refer to them as Sesame Cake A and Sesame Cake B.



Their sesame cake prices are not regulated by the price bureau, and they can break even by selling each sesame cake for one yuan #XRP# , including the value of their labor (, and they have the same quantity of sesame cakes.

During this time, their business has been very poor, not a single person has come to buy sesame cakes. A says, "So boring," B says, "I am also so bored," and at this moment, you who are watching the story also say: so boring.

We call the market at this time inactive!

To keep everyone from being bored, A and B decided to play a game. Thus, the real story began.

Jia spent one yuan to buy a sesame cake from Yi, and Yi also spent one yuan to buy a sesame cake from Jia, with cash exchanged.

Jia spends two yuan to buy a shaobing for Yi, and Yi also spends two yuan to buy a shaobing for Jia, with cash payment.

Jia spends three yuan to buy a pancake for Yi, and Yi also spends three yuan to buy a pancake for Jia, with cash exchanged.

In the eyes of everyone in the entire market, ), including you who are watching the story, the price of the pancakes skyrocketed, rising to 60 yuan each in no time. However, as long as A and B have the same number of pancakes, neither makes a profit nor incurs a loss, but their re-evaluated assets have "appreciated"! A and B possess wealth that has increased many times compared to the past, their net worth has risen significantly, and their "market value" has increased greatly.
