The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

Wang Xuewen almost lost his temper. Therefore, the total bounty of 50 million yuan and the dividend of 2 million yuan per person that Zhang Tong said lightly surprised him. Wang Xuewen has never seen so much money in his life! Not to mention 50 million, even 2 million is a lot of money that is unattainable for ordinary Chinese people!

Don't look at the fact that a house in Huaihai costs tens of millions, but how many people can buy a house worth 10 million in full when housing prices are skyrocketing today? Poor little!

The houses of most Huaihai locals are either the dormitories allocated by the factory in the early years, or the houses demolished and compensated for the old house renovation project. The ones with better family conditions were bought with loans before the housing prices took off in 2008. When the time turns to the so-called end of the world in 2012, it is hard to say whether the world will be destroyed. But for most ordinary people in Huaihai, and even the whole country, housing prices have reached an unattainable level.

In 2012, the average price of housing prices in Huaihai and the capital had already exceeded 40,000 square meters at that time, and the houses of 20,000 to 31,000 square meters were all in the suburbs, such as Yanjiao, Tongzhou, Fangshan, and Shunyi in the capital, Huaqiao, Songjiang, Huaihai, etc. Qingpu, Taopu. The housing prices in urban areas have already started to rise to 51,000 square meters, which is a price that is difficult to reach or even dare not look up to most people.

Therefore, in Huaihai and the capital, there are a group of office workers like migratory birds every day. They get up at 5:00 in the morning to catch the first subway or bus at 5:45, and then wobble on the journey for two to three times. Hours, rushed to the company before clocking in at nine o'clock.

If there is no overtime and they can get off work at 6:00 pm on time, many of them can only buy a rice ball or a bento at a convenience store for a simple meal, and then rush to catch the bus home. After shaking for two or three hours, I was finally able to return to my small home with a loan of 30 years and a monthly repayment of 12,000 before nine o'clock.

In the city, they are the pillars of the city. They are China's new middle class (note), with an annual salary of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan living like migratory birds. They are already people who have stepped into the threshold of the elite class in the city, but fatigue and pressure will crush these people into powder at any time, and finally cry or even collapse completely on the way home during overtime work. So don't talk about 996 or 007 with them, because whether it's 996 or 007, these people can only bear it silently. Because there is too much pressure and responsibility for them to bear, the only thing they can do is to squeeze themselves.

In the unspoken rules of the workplace, smart bosses will not scold young employees, because young people have no pressure, and they can quit at any time. The boss can yell at those middle-aged people, because the boss knows that these people dare not resign and quit, and they have to grit their teeth to bear any grievances.

If a person has no temper before the age of thirty, then he (she) cannot achieve great things. If a person still has a temper after the age of thirty, then he (she) will not be able to achieve great things.

How many people shed tears while watching a movie that wasn't sad, it's not because the movie made people cry, it's just that many people want to find a suitable excuse to cry in public.

People who want to live in a big city look like dogs. In addition to having extraordinary skills, they must also have a strong heart. They can be surrounded by people like sardines in the ocean at the entrance of the People's Square subway station. Sometimes you can still find the direction you want to go.

It is not easy for anyone who can be a human being in a big city.

Wang Xuewen is not an outstanding person, he can only live with the tide in Huaihai. But if a person doesn't have too much ambition, he can live happily. Because there is no need to pursue two thousand to three thousand pairs of coconuts, sixty to seventy thousand green water ghosts, no need to buy tens of thousands of Louis Vuittons for my wife, and no need to buy four to five thousand one Casios for my children.

Wang Xuewen always felt that his life was okay. Although he was not rich, he was not particularly poor either. At least I eat enough to eat and wear warmly every day, and I still have some pocket money to buy some small things and books. In Wang Xuewen's world, the way to get satisfaction is very simple, just add a piece of white-cut beef to the noodles with scallion oil.

When he first heard the news that two million was given to him, he was really shaken to the ground and couldn't get up. It was only after Zhang Tong had pinched him for a long time that he recovered. Lao Zhang thought to himself: Fortunately, he thought of this matter and didn't say to give Wang Xuewen more money. If today it is not two million but five million, he is afraid that he will die in my shop.

After Wang Xuewen woke up, he immediately became tongue-tied: "Zhang, Zhang Tong, you, you just, just said, how much, how much!"

"Two million, two million for each of us, you heard me right. Jiang Hua will give us two million yuan each." Zhang Tong patted Wang Xuewen on the back.

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up when she heard it from the side: "Boss! You've made a fortune!" Zhang Tong waved his hand: "Oh, it's small money. You can't even afford half an old house in the urban area."

Wang Xuewen was still trembling aside: "Two, two hundred, two million! This, so much money, ah! No, this, I can't take this money."

"Hey, this is wrong, Xuewen. I just told you that you agreed to accept the two million. And you have to be clear, the money is not for you alone. It is two million for each of us. Ah! If you don't want it, then how will I get my money!" Zhang Tong pretended to be "you don't know the reason".

Wang Xuewen said nonchalantly: "But, but, police officer Jianghua, isn't it your girlfriend? Does it have to be so clearly divided between your money and hers?"

"You are stupid!" Zhang Tong patted Wang Xuewen on the shoulder: "Girlfriend is not a wife. I want to marry her. I don't want to get a wife? Besides, Jiang Hua's status is higher than mine. She is a big director, and I am a small restaurant owner. It was very easy to catch her, and I am still in the internship period. If I don’t have any money, can Jianghua save money by holding banquets, wedding banquets and bride price in the future? Even if Jiang Hua’s family doesn’t want it, but I can’t give it up, this kind of attitude! You see, when those messy things add up to 800,000 if not 1 million!”

"Xuewen, look at how long it will take for this small shop of mine to earn one million eight hundred thousand. So how can I not want this money! It will delay my future marriage and daughter-in-law! If you still Treat me as a brother, then you can't refuse, or if I don't get the money and I can't get a wife in the future, it's all up to you."

Xiao Xiao was listening to Lao Zhang's words, and she somehow felt that there was some truth in it, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed to be all fallacies. Since following this boss for a long time, Xiao Xiao felt that her three views had been severely impacted.

Even Xiao Xiao, a shrewd little girl, was stunned, let alone Wang Xuewen.

Wang Xuewen thought about it for a while, hey, what Zhang Tong said seems to make sense. What if Zhang Tong really doesn't have enough money to marry a wife in the future? I can't bear this responsibility by myself, so after a fierce ideological struggle, Wang Xuewen finally nodded: "Okay, I will accept the money."

"That's right. Hey, Xuewen, I saw a house in Huaqiao, a loft apartment. Although the property right is only forty years, the price is cheap. The duplex structure of the upper and lower floors together has a practical area of ​​75 square meters. The area has two bedrooms and two living rooms, and the price is only 1.2 million, how about buying a house when the money comes." Zhang Tong took out a real estate advertisement from his back pocket like magic.

And Wang Xuewen didn't know why, he felt like he had fallen into a trap.

But Zhang Tong is my good brother, will he harm me? No, right... right?

ps: The middle class is actually a very low definition, but the Chinese have enlarged it. During the street interviews, many Chinese people define the middle class as having a fully paid house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou + a fully paid car of more than 500,000 yuan + a deposit of more than 5 million yuan, and this definition almost touches the threshold of financial freedom. This is not the middle class, this is the wealthy class!

The middle class defined by the World Bank for China is an individual with an annual income of more than 13,500 to 40,000 US dollars. Therefore, the threshold for the middle class is a very low standard. One level above food and clothing is the middle class. In China, it is the well-off class. However, Chinese people are generally habitual to artificially upscale things from outside, if the middle class is really defined by Chinese people. Then the United States, which has the largest middle class in the world, can really beat the world without any pressure. It is a real all-round 360-degree sling against more than 200 other countries in the world, and even oppresses more than 6 billion people around the world to be slaves of Americans, so that the middle class in the United States can meet the standards defined by the Chinese.
