Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1875
This is the absurdity unique to this era. The worship of Western technology and economy has even spread further to all aspects of society. In the words of my grandmother, "even farting smells fragrant."

Nowadays, when it comes to nutritional supplements and oral liquids, either you hire an old Taoist priest with an immortal look or a few foreigners with scholarly manners, and have them pretend to be Nobel Prize candidates from a famous overseas nutrition organization. Sales will then soar.

The Western society in the magazines my mother likes to read is not actually the real Western society. It is just a utopia imagined by some people in China with their rich imagination, and then placed in a place that ordinary people cannot go to, in order to incite some emotional triggers.

This kind of rhetoric will eventually be reflected in reality, so a rare but discontinued two-seater sports car with peculiar doors is actually displayed as a symbol of top luxury goods in the largest luxury goods sales area in Shudu.

Although the sunken doors are really cool, they also have many problems. First of all, the biggest problem with this hidden door is cleaning. The driver needs to make sure his car is clean at all times. Once foreign objects enter the interior, it will be difficult to clean, and even the entire door must be disassembled.

However, Zhou Zhi seemed to have seen information somewhere that said the doors of the Z1 were very easy to disassemble. One of the selling points of the Z1 at the time was that it could be quickly disassembled, and it was also possible to drive with all the external panels removed.

It is really ridiculous that a car that was not produced in 91 could be regarded as an "industrial pearl" and a "top luxury product" was widely promoted in China in 95.

In addition to the information gap, many other problems are also revealed.

Leaving this "first generation 4S store", a few steps away is the city center of Shudu, Tianfu Square.

The current Tianfu Square is just a large lawn, and people are not allowed to walk on it, so the only areas where citizens can move around in the square are the few passages in the middle of the lawn. Logically speaking, this is an unreasonable design.

Therefore, most people gather on the steps under the statue of the great man in front of the exhibition hall. That area of ​​activity is actually larger than the square which looks large but in fact 80% of the space is not used.

This is also one of the must-visit places for people who come to Shudu for business or tourism. There are even many photo stalls here that take pictures for tourists. Even if they are open until late at night, the statues of great men under the flying saucer-style street lights have a unique charm, and are suitable for taking photos day or night.

After taking the photos, tourists pay and write down their addresses, and the stalls will send the photos to them via the post after they are developed.

There is no need to ask whether there will be a situation where someone only takes photos and collects money without sending the photos. These days, the main thing about these things is mutual trust.

Zhou Zhi has walked for three hours from the eastern suburbs to here, but he still doesn't feel tired. He finds that his body is really great now.

In Lianhe Township, I took Heilong for morning jogging and mountain climbing every day. There were plenty of physical activities for him to participate in in the township. Before he knew it, his body became very strong.

He didn't feel much of it usually, but after a walk around the city today, Zhou Zhi discovered that he had changed a lot.

It was already late, and his interest was gone. He raised his hand, and a taxi stopped in front of him: "Handsome, can you go?!"

Zhou Zhi smiled.

Such a conversation would never happen in the future, but it is very normal now because the car parked in front of him is a Santana.

This year, the first batch of Santana was put into the Shudu taxi market. This car is certainly more comfortable to sit in than the current mainstream Peugeot and Xiali, but the starting price and mileage price are much higher. Of course, many citizens would rather choose the cheaper two types.

Santana taxi drivers often encounter this situation in areas with heavy traffic. Although their car is empty, the passenger is actually hailing the Fukang or Xiali behind them.

After encountering this kind of thing many times, the driver has developed the habit of asking passengers if they want to ride in his car.

"Let's go!" Zhou Zhi got into the Santana: "Go to..." It's really hard to say where Suihuaxuan is. It is estimated that the place does not exist at all in the mind of Shudu taxi drivers, because people who go there don't take buses or taxis.

"Where are you going? Don't worry, this is a Santana, a regular metered car."

There are many black taxis that bargain for prices now. In Shudu, taxis are called "pigs" and those black taxis are called "black pigs". Black pig drivers often blackmail passengers.

"Let me think about what to say..." Zhou Zhi thought for a moment: "Why don't we go to Caotang Road Community first, and I'll show you the way when we get there."

"Where do you live?" The taxi driver said with some envy: "Your parents are really rich. So it's most convenient to go to college locally, and go home on weekends to let your parents prepare, right?"

The taxi driver loved to chat and had some good eyesight. When he saw Zhou Zhi's outfit, he thought he was a college student. Then, based on where he was going and the fact that he didn't mind taking a high-priced taxi, he thought he was a rich second-generation who lived in Caotang Community.

"No, no." Zhou Zhi said quickly: "There is a... uh, classmate whose family lives over there, and asked me to go over and play on the weekend."

Then he changed the subject: "Speaking of being rich, your industry is the most powerful nowadays."

"It's not bad." The taxi driver said proudly, "But we work very hard. After paying for the roof and gas, we can get 400 to 500 yuan a day."

"Huh? Why do I hear that you earn more than a thousand a day?" Zhou Zhi still has a batch of car roofs in his hands. Although it was previously managed by Guan Ma and is now managed by Feng Xueshan, he knows the approximate operating costs and profits.

"That's more than a thousand for a car," the driver said, "usually two drivers drive one car, sometimes three, so we have to give a half price or even split it among three people."

"The most cost-effective ones are the first batch to get the roof!" The driver became indignant when he said this: "They don't do anything, but they have to pay tens of thousands of yuan a month for the roof. Even if they don't want to work anymore, a roof is more expensive than this car now!"

"How much did they pay for the roofs before? I know the first batch paid 5,000 each!"

Uh, how come this is being complained about? Zhou Zhi had no choice but to say, "Five thousand yuan back then is not the same as five thousand now. Five thousand five years ago should be equal to fifteen thousand now, right? There were really few people who dared to take the top spot at that time. Even those who made ten thousand yuan had to advertise themselves."

"I really don't know where these people get their money from." The driver shook his head.

"I'm sure your relatives in the county or the countryside are also saying this." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "What you earn in a day is what they earn in a month or even several months. In their eyes, you are incredible."

After hearing what Zhou Zhi said, the driver also felt that it made sense: "That's true. Not to mention the county town and the countryside, even the buddies who used to tap threads together in the factory are now divided into different classes after leaving the factory."

"So what does the most talented worker among you do?"

"The most amazing one... the most amazing one went to Russia to do business, selling fur coats, and I heard he made a fortune. Oh no, the most amazing one is a junior sister, she found an old American man, and now she's an American, eating white people's food!"

"Ah? Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. This word was a derogatory word that was extremely discriminatory in later generations, but now it suddenly came out of the driver's mouth, which was really hilarious.

White people's food is really disgusting!
