Plane Merchant's Dream of a Powerful Country

ps: Thank you readers for "Knowing Guli" who voted for a monthly ticket to Heaven, and readers who "Gunpowder Gun King" rewarded Heaven with 1 Zongheng coins, thank you for your support ^_^

The main plane is Beijing, the capital of the Yanhuang Continent.

This is the boundary of Beijing's third ring road, and many residential quarters have been built. Each community has many small six-story brick buildings built with red bricks and stones.Most of them were built in the late 80s and early 90s. By the end of 13, most of the buildings were 25 years old.Although the Beijing Municipal Government installed a steeple and painted the exterior walls for the sake of beauty, it became a modern style with five or six floors of white and red bricks below the fourth floor, but it is still difficult to stop the traces of the years.But this is Beijing, the capital of the whole country. Even for such an old house about 25 years old, the price of renting a two-bedroom, one-living room and the second bedroom should be between 1 and 0 yuan. A second bedroom is separated by a partition to become two) The price is around 1500-2 yuan.

So after 10 years, the cost of living in Beijing (not life~~) is about 2500 yuan per month.However, this level exceeds the monthly income of some grassroots migrant workers. Therefore, to reduce the cost of living, many people have no choice but to live in an air-raid basement with a monthly rent of only 300 yuan. This group has a famous name on the Internet and TV media. --"Ant".

The entrances to the air-raid basement are located in many older buildings, and they look inconspicuous from the outside. Most of them are large dark green anti-theft doors covered with densely packed small advertisements, which are easy for pedestrians to miss when passing by. Lose.Push open the ugly anti-theft door and walk down about one flight of steps, which is the real entrance to the basement of the air-raid shelter: a heavy iron door.Because the iron gate is too heavy, it is kept open all year round.After entering, the first thing you see is pale white incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, illuminating the corridors. The walls of the corridors are painted waist-high, the bottom is light green, and the top is white paste. I don't take care of it very much at ordinary times. The footprints and black traces are relatively obvious and dense, and it is difficult to have a sense of beauty.

The corridors are lined with small unit rooms one by one, each of which is only about 10 to 12 square meters in size.Residents in the entire basement share public toilets and sinks.Although there are white wall tiles there, it was renovated many years ago, so the smell of mold, yellow water, filth, and even stinky excrement permeates, which can be described as a rather poor living condition.

Under such conditions, many "ant tribe" residents moved the induction cooker to the corridor outside their room, connected it to the wiring board, and cooked the dinner of the day.As for why not cook at home?It is choking and has no windows, and the oily smoke that is difficult to fly away will engulf the last peaceful habitat of the "ants".

Ding Yuan is such a North Drifter Ant Clan.This year (years old), he has been in Beijing with his girlfriend for three years. At the beginning, he was full of enthusiasm. As a graduate of animation design and computer science, his hometown is Dingyuan, a fourth-tier county in the west. The company and job are suitable for him. His parents wanted to entrust him with a relationship to work in a local small business, but Ding Yuan, who had ideas and ambitions in his heart, did not want to live such a boring life, so he kept it from his parents and had a relationship with his girlfriend from college. Let's make an appointment in Beijing together and explore our own sky.

Three years after he came to Beijing, after bumps and bumps and two or three unpleasant moves, he and his girlfriend have a fairly close relationship. Although bickering and quarrels are inevitable due to the relatively difficult life, the relationship between the two is still very sincere.They are now renting an air-raid basement with a washroom on the other side of the wall, and people come and go frequently, so the price is relatively low.But the two who love life have the joy of creating life amidst difficulties.They scavenged some living furniture from the flea markets around the Beijing Zoo, and found a second-hand desktop computer for sale from the Internet, and arranged the 10-square-meter basement quite warmly.

After entering Ding Yuan's room, the first thing you will see is the bed in the innermost part of the room, which occupies about one-third of the entire area. There is a single computer desk on the left side of the bed, and an old-fashioned display tube screen Computer, on the right side of the bed drawer is the aisle for upper and lower bunks, and one meter away from the aisle, there is a multi-functional small table, which has many functions. When Ding Yuan is studying, it is a desk. When his girlfriend Han Li is dressing up, it is a dressing table. When the meal is ready, it is the dining table, and when the meal is cooked, it is the kitchen table.Next to the small table is a double-door wardrobe, which hangs a few more expensive clothes for the two of them.All kinds of summer clothes and cotton trousers, such as street stalls, are piled under the bed to save space.

"It's time to eat, Ding Yuan!" Said Han Li who brought the meal into the room after cooking outside.

"okay!"

Han Li's meals today are simple and hearty, a big plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a cucumber for each person, and two steamed buns with white noodles, that's all they have for dinner tonight.Because of their low income, the two of them usually save money, and they usually go home from get off work to cook by themselves, although it takes Han Li and Ding Yuan more than an hour to return home from their respective companies.

"How is your work today?" Han Li asked.

"It's not bad. One-third of the dozens of characters I drew were adopted. It's not in vain." Ding Yuan chewed on the steamed buns and said.

"When will the new company pay wages, did you tell me?"

"Why, not enough money?"

"Well, the 18th of this month is the expiration date of a credit card, and we only have 1600 left in our account, which is 500 short."

"I'll ask tomorrow. It should only be for a couple of days. By the way, is there another price increase?" Ding Yuan saw that the tomatoes and eggs in his bowl were almost eaten, and tore the remaining steamed buns into pieces. Put it in a bowl, pour boiled water and drink it as soup.

"I just paid the next quarter's rent this month, so I went to 900 yuan, and the electricity and water bills were charged together. In addition, the eggs and vegetables have also increased a bit, so it is not enough." Han, who controls the family's financial power Li explained.

"Understood, I'll ask at work tomorrow."

"En! And..." Han Li said here, with a troubled expression.

"What's wrong?"

"A student's parent chatted with me today." Han Li is a contract teacher hired by a private English early childhood education center. She is billed by the hour and earns around 3000 per month.

"It's nice to chat!"

"They asked me how many bedrooms I lived in, and I said I lived in the basement, but it was difficult for them to understand, and they sighed with emotion. It meant that the conditions were so poor that they lived in the basement. It is difficult for these parents to imagine our life. Their children go to class for an hour The fee is as high as 150 yuan, which is higher than my daily salary. I really feel that we and them are completely in two worlds." Han Li said that she was a little choked up at the end.

"Baby, don't cry, look, we are earning more and more year after year, and it will only get better and better, trust me!"

"However, the price of goods keeps rising, and the monthly income is tight, which is just enough for our basic expenses in Beijing. We haven't saved a penny for three years. All the money we earn is dedicated to all walks of life in Beijing. Ding Yuan, why do you think we came to Beijing?"

"There are many opportunities here."

"But there are more people waiting for opportunities. What will we do in the future? Both of us (persons) have no house, no car, and no money in Beijing. What are we planning~~"

"Bao, I know that you and I have suffered in the past few years, especially when I do original comics and computer character model design. Sometimes there is no decent income at all. Are you waiting for me for a year? Just one year, I am here The company I found for the first time puts a lot of emphasis on animation and originality, and the salary during the internship period is 6000 yuan. When I get my first salary, our life will be much better!"

"really?"

"Really, at least you can move out of the underground, rent a decent second bedroom on the ground, and live a normal life. I promise, just wait for me for another year, okay?"

"kindness!"

The next day, Ding Yuan got up early, washed his face at the sink, and rinsed his mouth. He took out the only suit in the closet, dressed neatly, tied his tie carefully, and then carefully cleaned it with a black shoebrush. His only pair of high-end leather shoes, polished the upper to a glossy shine, and then walked out of the house with a backpack.

The Pinguan Building near the third ring road in the west of Beijing was originally an office building built in the 21st century at the end of the century. It was 22 floors high and was regarded as a very good business office building in Beijing at that time.But later, especially in 13, various new landmark CBDs emerged one after another. Their novel styles, perfect functions, and beautiful and advanced elevator equipment quickly captured various central enterprises, foreign enterprises and private enterprises. Heart, let them move away from Pinguan Building one after another.So in the first half of 13, the overall occupancy rate of Pinguan Building was only about 40%.

After the Beijing branch of Jinfan Company was established, it happened to find this place when looking for an office location, and felt that it was very in line with the company's building selection policy of "low-key and pragmatic, spacious, and reasonable rent", so it took the initiative to contact the property here.

In fact, objectively speaking, Pinguan Building is not down and out, but it is not popular because of its regular appearance and not too foreign style. However, its internal facilities such as elevator equipment and wall hygiene are still quite well maintained.In addition, what is most in line with Jinfan Company's wishes is that due to its low occupancy rate, the four floors from the 19th floor to the 22nd floor are all vacant at this time.Therefore, when negotiating the lease contract with the building property, the senior management of Jinfan Company revealed that they wanted to rent the four floors from 4 to 19 in one go, but said that large-scale reconstruction was needed, so that the company invested a lot at one time, and at least 22 years of contract were required to be signed. Costs can be shared.The property management of the building was of course very happy when they heard about it. After asking the final boss for instructions, they gave a 5% discount on the overall rent, and promised that the whole property will fully cooperate with Jinfan Company's commitment to the transformation.In this way, the foothold of Jinfan Company in Beijing has been settled.

After the lease took effect, under the call of Yanhuang "RMB" and the supply of raw wood processed by Wang Fan in large quantities, the Beijing branch of Jinfan Company changed its appearance at a speed of one sample a week and three weeks. All construction was completed in half a month.

After the completion, Jinfan Company is mainly decorated with bluestone brick color and log color. At the main entrance of the company on the 19th floor, there is a false wall made of bluestone bricks, with various spotlights distributed in it, and a sky full of stars on the top. The lighting system is equipped with modern and minimalist solid wood furniture under the lights. For outsiders who come here for business for the first time, the first impression is that it is quite beautiful and charming.

Ding Yuan came to Jinfan Company early today. Apart from the fact that he wanted to impress the boss quickly during the probationary period, the more comfortable environment here than in the basement was also the main reason why he came here earlier.Here, he has his own workstation and computer. When he is tired, he can go to the company rest area to make a refreshing cup of coffee or a cup of green tea with a faint fragrance. If he is hungry, there are several desserts available (weekly Changing tricks), it can be described as comfortable home.Therefore, Ding Yuan, who has made up his mind and made up his mind, is determined to use up 1% of his ability, and he must also keep this job, realize his own life value, and his Yanhuang dream!

"Ding Yuan, did you come so early today?" Sister Tian from the finance department said politely when she saw him come in to make coffee.

"Ah? Good morning, Sister Tian! I got up early today, so I came here earlier."

"Hmm! That's right, did you know that you have a 10%~% elimination rate in the end?"

"I know this. When signing the internship agreement, the HR manager made it clear."

"That's it, I don't know who made the policy, bullying people~" Ms. Tian muttered in a low voice, and then said: "Okay, Sister Tian will stop talking about those unhappy things, there will be good news and accidents today Surprise!"

"You mean to pay wages, right?" Ding Yuan said cooperatively when he saw that the senior was making a fool of himself.

"Not all, hehe, let's keep it a secret for now, you will find out in the afternoon, hehe!"

So amidst the anticipation and excitement, Ding Yuan finally waited for the notification at two o'clock in the afternoon to send these interns to the financial office upstairs to collect their wages.

"I'm stuffed!"

"It's finally here!"

"If you don't send any more money, life will be really difficult~~"

One after another, colleague Ding Yuan exaggerated loudly.And Ding Yuan himself walked to the financial room with his colleagues with a smile on his face.

Finance room.

"Sister Tian, ​​we're here!" Ding Yuan, who knows well that a sweet mouth doesn't hurt, took the initiative to say hello.

"You are here, sign in order."

"Ok."

"The internship salary is 6000 before tax, and there is no provident fund. The monthly insurance personal burden is deducted, and the tax is deducted, so everyone gets 5(0 yuan."

"Great!"

"There's some good news~" Sister Tian, ​​who likes to play tricks, said with a smile: "The chairman of the company called this morning and specially ordered that the company will send everyone a 1000 yuan shopping card every month in the future, which is considered a daily benefit! "

"Wow!"

"The chairman is really kind!"

"I'm going to pass out with happiness!"

For a whole afternoon, the employees of Jinfan Company, especially those in the probationary period, were all happy and eager to get off work quickly and share their happiness and happiness with their wives, girlfriends or family members.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, he really couldn't hold back his restless mood, and Ding Yuan, who didn't work much overtime, hurried back to his basement pigeon house.Because he was in a happy mood, he saw the door in the basement much more pleasing to the eye today.

"Honey, I'm back!" Ding Yuan greeted warmly as soon as he entered the room.

"You're back!" Han Li was picking vegetables on their small multifunctional table.He smiled and asked, "Why is it much earlier than usual today?"

"Haha, I miss you."

"Bah! You know how to coax me with your mouth."

"Hehe, wife, I got my salary today."

"Really? How many? Is it really like what you said, 6000?"

"Hey, I don't have that much. After deducting the insurance and taxes, it's about 5300." After Ding Yuan finished speaking, he handed over a wad of money that seemed thick.

"Wow! That's a lot!" Seeing such a generous salary for the first time, Han Li was overjoyed, kissed Ding Yuan like lightning, and counted the banknotes happily.

"Honey, there's more, ding ding ding~~, look!" After speaking, Ding Yuan took out the supermarket card.

"This is?"

"The welfare card issued by the company will be available every month in the future."

"I love you so much!" Han Li's face turned rosy after being stimulated by the successive good news, and began to become unrestrained.

After 1 minute, the two after a passionate kiss.

"Ding Yuan~"

"Ok?"

"You must grasp this job!"

"I know, don't worry." Ding Yuan replied with a serious expression, and then said with a smile: "Today, let's go out to eat and celebrate, okay?"

"Ok!"
