Chapter 1875: Beat
This is the absurdity unique to this era. The worship of Western technology and economy has even further spread to all aspects of society. In the words of my grandmother, it is "even a fart." I think it smells delicious."
Nowadays, for oral nutrition and health care products, in addition to finding the kind of old Taoist priests with immortal demeanor, they also find a few foreigners with academic style, pretending to be Nobel Prize candidates from some famous overseas nutrition institution, and the sales volume It will swish upward.
The Western society in those magazines that my mother likes to read is not actually the real Western society. It is just a utopia dreamed up by some people in China relying on their rich imagination, and then copied it. It's just a place where ordinary people can't go to stir up some emotions.
This kind of rhetoric will eventually be reflected in reality, so a two-seater sports car that is rare but has been discontinued, although it has strange doors, is actually displayed in a grand manner as a symbol of top luxury goods. Come to the largest luxury goods sales area in Shudu.
Although the sunken doors are really cool, they also have a lot of problems. First of all, the biggest problem with this kind of hidden door is cleaning. Drivers need to ensure that their car is clean at all times. Once foreign matter enters the interior, it will be difficult to clean, and the entire door may even have to be disassembled.
However, Zhou Zhi seems to have seen information somewhere, saying that the Z1's door is easy to disassemble. One of the selling points of the Z1 at that time was that it was quickly detachable and could be driven with all external panels removed.
Cars that were not produced in 1991 can still be used as "industrial pearls" and "top luxury goods" in China in 1995. It is really ridiculous.
In addition to the information gap, it also illustrates many other problems.
Leaving this "first-generation 4S store", a few steps away is Tianfu Square, the center of Shudu.
The current Tianfu Square is just a large lawn, and no one can walk on it. Therefore, the area where citizens can move around in the square is only a few passages in the middle of the lawn. Logically speaking, this is an unreasonable design.
So most people move on the steps under the sculptures of great men in front of the exhibition hall. The space for activities in that area is actually larger than the square, which looks very big but 80% of the space is not used. Be big.
This is also one of the must-check-in places for people traveling to Shudu on business. There are even many photo booths here to take photos for tourists. Even if they don’t call it a day at night, the statues of great men under the flying saucer-style street lights are also different. It has a charm that makes it suitable for taking photos day or night.
After taking the photos, tourists pay money and write down their addresses, and these stalls will send them to them through the post office after the photos are developed.
There is no need to ask whether there will be a situation where you only take photos and get paid without sending them. The main thing about these things these days is mutual trust.
Zhou Zhi had walked all the way from the eastern suburbs here for three hours, and he still didn't feel tired. He found that his body was really good now.
In Lianhe Township, I took Heilong for morning jogs and mountain climbing every day. There were many physical activities in the township for him to participate in. Before he knew it, his body became very strong.
Normally I don’t feel that way, but when I walked around the city today, Zhou Zhi found that she had changed a lot.
It was getting late, and his interest had disappeared. He raised his hand, and a taxi stopped in front of him: "Handsome guy, are you leaving?!"
Zhou Zhi smiled .
Such a conversation would never happen in the future, but it was normal now, because the car parked in front of him was a Santana.
This year the first batch of Santanas have been put into the Shudu taxi market. Of course, this car is much more comfortable to ride in than the mainstream Fukang and Xiali, but the starting price and mileage price are much higher. Of course, citizens would rather choose the cheaper of the two.
Santana taxi drivers often encounter this situation in places with a lot of traffic. Although their car is empty, the passengers are actually stopping for Fukang or Xiali behind them.
Having encountered this kind of thing so often, drivers have learned the habit of asking passengers if they want to take their own car.
"Let's go!" Zhou Zhi got into Santana: "Go..." The place where Sui Huaxuan is is really hard to say. I guess that place doesn't even exist in the mind of the taxi driver in Shu. , because people who go there cannot take buses or take taxis.
"Where are you going? Don't worry, I'm Santana, a regular clock maker."
Nowadays there are many black taxis with bargaining prices. Taxis in Shu are called "pig'er". Black cars are called "black pigs" and their drivers often extort money from passengers.
"I'm thinking about what to say..." Zhou Zhi thought for a moment: "Why don't you go to Caotang Road Community first, and I will show you the way when you get there."
"Where do you live? Huh?" The taxi driver said with a bit of envy: "Your parents are really rich, so it's more convenient to go to college locally, so you can go home and let your parents do it on the weekends, right?"
The taxi driver loved chatting and had some discerning eyes. One look at Zhou Zhi's attire and he thought he was a college student. Then based on where he was going and his behavior of not caring about taking a high-priced rental, he thought he was a rich man who lived in Caotang Community. generation.
"No, no." Zhou Zhi said quickly: "There is... um, a classmate's house is over there, and he asked me to go there on the weekend."
Then he started to change the topic: "To talk about If you have money, it’s your profession, it’s amazing now.”
“It’s pretty good,” said the taxi driver. Some pride: "But we work very hard. After paying the top dollar and gas money, we can lose four to five hundred a day."
"Eh? Why did 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 managed by Guan Ma in the past and is now managed by Feng Xueshan, the approximate operating costs and benefits are known.
"That's a car worth more than one thousand," the driver said: "Our car is usually driven by two drivers, and some even have three, so we have to pay a discount or even divide it between three people."
" The most cost-effective ones are the ones who get the top prize first!" The driver became aggrieved: "They don't have anything. Do it, it’s tens of thousands of dollars a month. Even if you don’t want to do it, a roof is more expensive than this car now!”
“I know how much they paid for it before? The first batch got five thousand each!”
Uh, why is this being claimed on me? Zhou Zhi had no choice but to say: "Five thousand yuan at that time and five thousand yuan now are not the same concept. How can the five thousand yuan five years ago be regarded as the fifteen thousand yuan now? There were really not many people who dared to take the top spot at that time. Ten thousand yuan It’s an era when everyone wants to make publicity.”
“I really don’t know where these people get their money.” The driver shook his head.
"I guess your relatives in the county or the countryside must be saying this too." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "What you earn in one day is what they earn in a month or even several months. In their eyes, you are an incredible object. ”
Tingzhou When he said this, the driver also felt that it made sense: "That's true. Not to mention the county town and the countryside, the buddies who were tapping threads together in the factory back then came out of the factory and are now divided into three, six, and nine grades."
“Then the most powerful one among your co-workers? What do you do?”
“The most powerful one... The most powerful one went to Russia to do business, and he wore a fur coat. I heard that it got bigger. Oh no, the most powerful one is a little one. Junior sister, I directly found an old American man, and now I have become Americans have to eat white people’s food!”
“Huh? Hahahaha…” Zhou Zhi couldn’t stop laughing. This word was a derogatory term that was extremely discriminatory in later generations. Now he is not a driver. It's such a joy to have it pop out of your mouth.
White people’s rice is really unpalatable!
