The teacher glared at Li Yuqing and didn't know what to say.
"Ha, I am going back to China to work anyway, so I took this class just to make my life easier." After class, Li Yuqing laughed out loud.
"What kind of job can you find when you go back? Jiangcheng's salary is the lowest among the provincial capitals. I don't believe you can stay here..." Shi Tao said.
Indeed, Jiangcheng, as the largest city in central China, has nothing to say about urban construction, and it developed early.
But I can’t bear to say that there are many universities and fresh graduates. The wages and housing prices are at the bottom of the provincial capital cities, not as good as some small places along the coast.
In short, if you don’t want to work because the wages are low, there are plenty of people doing it, and there is no shortage of cheap labor in Jiangcheng.
Chen Xi remembered that Li Yuqing did not do well after she returned home. Firstly, her family connections were not good, and secondly, her personality was a bit arrogant, so her final salary was only about three to four thousand yuan.
But even so, Li Yuqing does not regret going back. She likes lively places, and Tuao is just too boring.
"Why can't I find a good job? I'm a returnee from overseas. Isn't it easy to just find a job with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan?" Li Yuqing immediately became angry.
"A monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan? What a waste! I'm afraid you don't know what the basic salary in China is now." Shi Tao laughed again. He felt that Li Yuqing was a fool who only knew how to dream.
"Huh? Is it difficult to find one? What is the basic monthly salary now?" Li Yuqing looked at everyone in confusion.
"About three thousand..." Chen Xi recalled and said.
"Chen Xi, you are not from Jiangcheng, how do you know so clearly? Are you paying attention to me in private?" Li Yuqing held her cheek with her hands and started to be sentimental again.
As everyone knows, in the previous life, the two people were in love, and Chen Xi naturally knew it.
"Ahem, the wages in China are about the same now." Chen Xi coughed lightly and explained.
That's right, wages in China are probably at this level now. But other places were developing rapidly, while Jiangcheng was still treading water.
No, it should probably be going backwards.
Shi Tao had a conversation with Chen Xi while drinking in his previous life. He said that Jiangcheng was basically a place that would not develop.
Chen Xi doesn’t think that’s entirely true. He feels that the development of Jiangcheng is a bit different from other cities. Its development direction is to expand crazily to the surrounding areas, which means the area is increasing.
This resulted in more land in Jiangcheng, more and more houses, and more and more people.
"What did your aunt's accounting firm say?" Chen Xi looked at Shi Tao.
Aunt Shi Tao is doing many of the company's accounts now.
In his previous life, Shi Tao gave up on inheriting the firm, but he didn't do well after returning to China. He opened a financial company and was defrauded of his money.
This makes the already poor family even worse.
“I haven’t thought about it well.” Shi Tao is a person who has no plans, and he can live one day at a time.
"I suggest you stay in Tu'ao." Chen Xi patted him on the shoulder.
He returned to China in his previous life and didn't get out. Let's see if he can live comfortably in Tu'ao in this life.
Shi Tao didn't take it to heart when he heard this and just nodded.
There are only three of them in this class, and the others are all unfamiliar faces.
After chatting for a while, seeing that there was almost no one in the classroom, the three of them walked out.
"Classmate, classmate. Do you want to write a paper for you?" As soon as they walked out of the classroom, the three of them were stopped by a boy wearing glasses.
The boy covered his mouth with his hands and asked in a low voice.
Ghostwriting essays?
Holy shit, this business is all done by the school?
Chen Xi rolled his eyes.
This business is no secret, but transactions are basically completed online.
Because it is an illegal project, if you are caught, it will not be as simple as a fine, but direct deportation. So no one dares to trade privately.
"Do you think I'm bad at studying?" Li Yuqing crossed her waist and looked at the other party unkindly.
"Then do you want to make money as a writer?" the boy asked again.
"How much does a paper cost?" Li Yuqing, who was jealous of the money, said quickly.
"Different subjects, different word counts, individual or group papers, the prices are different. There is also an extra charge for whether it is urgent or not urgent. How many points do you want to get? Do you need special customization?" The boy spoke slowly.
Chen Xi looked at the boy, and he was right.
In his last life, he found many ghostwriters.
A little less than 1,000 words, more than 200 yuan, is not included.
A better one with four to five hundred words per thousand words can only pass.
The better ones are more expensive and can get high scores.
Sometimes, each team member contributes money to write a group paper together.
Because group papers are very troublesome, some people don’t care and just want to pass, some people want to get high scores, and some people don’t want to participate, which leads to the ghostwriting of group papers. There are a lot of people and the prices are not low.
Generally, a medium-length paper costs 3,000 words, but it can actually be written quickly.
But those international students who don’t usually go to school can only find ghostwriters.
This business is actually very profitable. Chen Xi has talked with several writing agencies that specialize in ghostwriting for him.
There are people who are responsible for contacting customers, different schools, and different majors, and then sending the paper requirements to the writers.
Most of these writers are actually international students, and some are people who have returned to China but have not found a job and want to make money.
Some are teachers in educational institutions. It is hard to imagine that there are teachers who do ghostwriting...
Ghostwriting can make money much faster than working, and basically it is Won't get caught.
"Ahem, it's illegal to ghostwrite papers. You don't have to worry about being reported if you promote it in school." Shi Tao coughed lightly and reminded the boy.
"What are you afraid of? Do you have any evidence? I don't write for others, I'm just a liaison." The boy curled his lips and saw that few people were not interested, so he left quickly.
Chen Xi shrugged and started to go downstairs, while Shi Tao quickly followed.
Li Yuqing turned back and glanced at the boy who just left, the light in his eyes was a little fiery.
"Writing essays seems to be very profitable. After returning to China, being a writer to write essays for students who are still studying abroad should be much better than working part-time." Shi Tao thought about what the boy just said as he walked.
"Yes, it seems that you can easily earn tens of thousands of Chinese national currency in a month, and everyone is at home, so it doesn't matter if something happens." Li Yuqing also agreed.
"What you said is correct, but you can't earn this money for a lifetime." Chen Xi shook his head.
This is about making quick money, and you won’t be able to make money in a few years.
“Why?” Li Yuqing was a little confused.
"You know that you do illegal things every day. This is not a good habit." Chen Xi smiled helplessly.
In fact, in the future, AI has been popularized in people's daily lives, and the business of writing essays has naturally been replaced by computers.
But it’s hard for him to say such things.
The three of them went to the small restaurant next to the school again. As soon as they entered the door, they found a young man wearing a yellow dragon-patterned vest walking out with takeout.
"Boss boss, are there takeaways now?" Chen Xi looked at the woman.
"Yes." The woman nodded.
"Do you earn more than before?"
"The orders have increased, but there is no packaging fee in Tu'ao, which means that I pay for the takeout box. It's okay if the number of takeaways per day is small. , if it’s more, it’s a big expense!” The landlady had a mixed look on her face.
"Well, don't worry. As technology improves in the future, maybe some new materials will come out, and the price of takeout boxes will be lower." Chen Xi sat down and said while ordering. Indeed, unlike China, there is almost no take-out fee for restaurants in Tu'ao. Moreover, the price of ordering food on the platform is the same as going to the store, there will be no difference.
Some stores have service charges, but that only occurs in high-end restaurants.
However, what the proprietress said is not completely correct. When many Chinese restaurants take away the food, the portions are smaller than those for dine-in. This is also a disguised price increase.
The only thing we can do now is to carry out some preferential activities in the early stage of the platform and provide some packaging boxes to merchants for free or at a discount. Then, make money through those stock industries related to the platform.
“Boss, why has the price of this dish increased?” Li Yuqing asked, looking at the brand new menu in her hand.
In fact, it only increased by two or three yuan, but this kind of thing cannot be allowed in Li Yuqing's heart.
She likes to ask questions about small things, which often makes her very unhappy.
For example, when I go to a restaurant or other places with Chen Xi, I often question the waiter or the boss because the product or service is not to my liking, and sometimes we even quarrel.
Chen Xi is similar to most men. He thinks that small things like this don't matter at all. The worst thing he can do is not come to this store next time. Time is money, so why bother with it?
Li Yuqing always argued with Chen Xi because of this matter. She felt that she should protect her own rights and that she should get something satisfactory after she spent money.
She feels that because more and more people like Chen Xi have this idea, businesses will become more and more unscrupulous in providing poor customer service.
Actually, no one is right or wrong, it’s just different personal ideas.
"Now the prices in Tu'ao are rising. Other people's restaurants have already raised their prices before. I delayed raising the prices until now because I think it's not easy for international students... Now that there is an additional packing fee, I naturally want to take advantage of the opportunity. Please change the price so that I can ensure the normal operation of my restaurant." The landlady replied, holding a small sticker with the menu.
There is nothing wrong with what she said. Prices in Tu'ao have skyrocketed, and this store still has the original price, which is indeed a bit unprofitable.
Nowadays, cigarettes have cost more than 20 yuan, and a bowl of double rice costs about 13 yuan.
Fortunately, the salary growth rate in Tu'ao is not low, and the minimum wage is several yuan more than before.
Otherwise, the Tu'ao people would have made a big fuss long ago.
"If the price goes up, just raise the price. You are about to graduate. You won't be able to eat much anyway. Why are you struggling with the small money? I think the price should be raised. I wish the boss good luck and good luck!" Shi Tao said disdainfully at the side. said.
"This one is still sweet-mouthed. Seeing that you are also old customers, I will give you a plate of snacks later." The woman looked at the rather handsome Shi Tao and smiled.
"Hey, thank you very much, boss." Shi Tao raised his lips.
I have to say that Shi Tao is quite attractive to women. Whether abroad or at home, there is no shortage of women around him.
Especially older women prefer Shi Tao’s model. It seems that every one of his girlfriends is older than him...
"Chen Xi, do you have turtle coins?" Li Yuqing suddenly asked after the landlady left.
"Turtle Coin? Why do I want that thing?" Chen Xi was a little confused.
He had forgotten about it a long time ago. If Li Yuqing hadn't said it, he probably wouldn't have been able to remember it.
"Aren't you the vice president? You should have a lot of coins in your hand."
"I'm not a money printing machine, how can I conjure this thing?"
"Really not? You didn't say it on purpose to avoid suspicion, right?"
"What, really not." Chen Xi shook his head with a chuckle and turned on his phone.
Soon, he stopped laughing because a certain amount of Turtle Coins appeared in his association account!
Huh?
What's going on?
How do I get turtle coins?
Chen Xi refreshed the page to make sure he read it correctly.
There are indeed a lot of Turtle Coins on the account.
"What is the use of this turtle coin? Why do you ask this suddenly?" Chen Xi did not say anything about the coins appearing in his account, but looked up at Li Yuqing.
“Of course it is used to buy things. This thing can be used as money, and you can also buy health care products!”
"Huh? Health products? Why don't they just use Australian dollars?" Chen Xi was even more puzzled.
“Because it is difficult to make coins, some people just want turtle coins, so they sell health products at a loss to get turtle coins.” Li Yuqing spread her hands.
She looked at the man in front of her with some confusion. As the vice president of the association, he didn't know as much as she did.
“No, I mean, what else can this coin be used for? Can it just buy some special items?”
“I don’t know, anyway, the announcement in the association told us to hold more of it. , the price will rise in the future, which is a disguised investment.”
"Do you believe this?"
"I think other people are making money, so there must be some inside story. If the currency doesn't rise, won't the association's credibility be damaged? This is deception. Member, the president can't shoot himself in the foot." Li Yuqing's analysis was so reasonable that even Chen Xi couldn't refute it.
Even Shi Tao, who had always been against her, was silent this time.
“I didn’t expect you to be quite smart.” Chen Xi stared at Li Yuqing for a few seconds.
Actually, Li Yuqing is not stupid, otherwise her grades would not be so high, but her emotional intelligence would be lower.
"Hey." Li Yuqing raised her chin proudly after receiving Chen Xi's performance for the first time.
“It is difficult for the value of this returnee coin to increase. You have read so many books and you should have a clear understanding of the currency value. First of all, in terms of issuance method, turtle coins are issued by the returnee association, which usually requires It can only be obtained by completing tasks. This issuance method limits its market liquidity and Supply. Let’s talk about the value basis. Unlike Bitcoin and other virtual currencies based on blockchain technology and encryption algorithms, the value basis of Turtle Coin may depend more on subjective factors such as the credibility of the issuing institution and the completion of the task..." Before the food was served, Chen Xi analyzed the turtle coins for Li Yuqing.
In other words, the current Turtle Coin is not linked to other currencies or gold, which leads to low stability.
This issuance method is similar to ordinary countries printing banknotes. If too much is printed, the final result will be devaluation.
It is very difficult to solve this problem. The first thing is technical docking.
In order to link Turtle Coin to Bitcoin or other virtual currencies, it is first necessary to technically achieve interoperability between the two currencies. This requires the development of specialized interfaces or protocols to ensure smooth conversion between the two currencies.
If you want Turtle Coin to maintain a stable value, its value must be anchored to Bitcoin or other relatively stable mainstream virtual currencies. This can be achieved by setting a certain exchange ratio or adopting a mark-to-market strategy. However, this anchoring method cannot completely eliminate the risk of value fluctuations in Turtle Coin, because mainstream virtual currencies such as Bitcoin also have price fluctuations themselves.
The current liquidity is also very poor. Turtle Coin can only be circulated within the association, which makes it impossible for it to rise sharply.
But in the final analysis, there are benefits to issuing turtle coins.
An incentive mechanism is needed in the association. Turtle coins are obtained by completing tasks, which can motivate users to participate in specific activities or complete specific tasks, thereby increasing user activity and participation. This mechanism helps improve user stickiness and promote community development.
Furthermore, this is a global platform for returnees, and members of the association are from all over the world. Users earn Turtle Coins by completing tasks, and at the same time understand and learn returnee culture, international perspectives, etc., which also helps to enhance cross-cultural exchanges and understanding.
The most important thing is that the emergence of Turtle Coin can attract more people to join the association. As long as this currency can buy things that are difficult to buy outside, it is a huge attraction.
Chen Xi is a little confused about what Linxi is doing. They are all highly educated people. The other party will definitely understand such simple financial knowledge.
Then why are you still making bold claims that the price of Turtle Coins will definitely rise?
He looked at QQ, but there was no message from Linxi on his phone.
Chen Xi knew that this boy must have released the news, and he didn't say hello to him, just to let him take the initiative to ask.
You want me to ask, but I won’t.
The food also arrived at this time, and the lady boss gave us a plate of bean paste pot cakes.
This is a very common dessert in Chinese restaurants in Tu'ao. It is not very delicious. It tastes similar to the red bean pie of Kenji in China, but for ordinary international students, it is still very delicious. of.
"Seeing as you are about to graduate, why do you want to go back to China? You must have spent a lot of money studying in Tu'ao for so many years. Can you make back the money when you go back to work?" The landlady crossed her arms and looked at the three of them.
She has opened a restaurant here for many years, and every year she sees many students returning to China for employment. She is not an international student herself, but can only be regarded as an early entrepreneur who has been in Turkey and Australia for a long time.
The expenses of ordinary international students in Tu'ao are about hundreds of thousands of Chinese national dollars, let alone those from well-off families.
The monthly salary back home is several thousand yuan. How long will it take to earn back the money?
In the opinion of the landlady, this is a bad deal.
Not just her, many people also feel the same way.
"Everyone's purpose of studying abroad is different. We are studying for the rise of our country. We are not short of money!" Chen Xi picked up a piece of bean paste pot cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Li Yuqing looked at Chen Xi and did not refute.
Although she is usually obsessed with money, she still has patriotism.
However, Li Yuqing still muttered in her heart, you are not short of money, I am! (End of this chapter)
