The per capita monthly salary in the United States is $1000 after tax. The per capita salary on Hong Kong Island is HK $1200, which can not even reach the lower limit of tax payment. On the other side, it is more than NT $6000, while the per capita monthly income in China is less than 35 yuan.
According to the exchange rate converted into US dollars, the comparison is 1000:240:1860:23.3. The lowest Hong Kong Island is almost 10 times that of the mainland, that is, 10 people can be invited on Hong Kong Island and 100 people can be invited in China.
"Fried dough sticks or steamed stuffed buns?"
One after another entered the canteen. Zhao Liangliang had reached out and took two plates from the side. Zheng Jianguo looked at all kinds of breakfast on the front dining table and said, "don't eat too much fried food. One fried dough stick, two steamed buns, and another egg - I don't want soybean milk, I want tofu brain, salty."
"Isn't it sweet?"
Next to the dining table, a man in a white chef's suit and a mask asked. Zheng Jianguo shook his head and said, "each has its own merits. This is a hobby. Some people like fried eggs, some like boiled eggs, and others like tea leaf eggs -"
"Domestic wages are very low, especially compared with foreign countries."
Zhao Liangliang smiled and didn't pick up the words of tofu brain. Instead, he watched Zheng Jianguo put a fried dough stick, two meat buns and boiled eggs on the dinner plate according to his idea, so he took them to the next table and sat down. Zheng Jianguo put the tofu brain in his hand in front of him, took his own ass and sat down and said, "so this is an advantage, so we should make good use of it."
"When are you going to start?"
He picked up the fried dough sticks with chopsticks and ate them. Zhao Liangliang sipped his mouth and chewed like a woman before asking. Zheng Jianguo directly picked it up and bit it with his hands. He said, "let the people over there run after the new year. The electric fan is not a problem. There are channels. Here they are all handed over to the agents of sellers, but I don't have much time to ask."
"I need you to talk."
Zhao Liangliang ate and said, Zheng Jianguo nodded and began to eat. In fact, he was waiting for this. Soon after eating, he paid new year's greetings to the leaders in the company of Zhao Liangliang. His purpose of coming was even achieved. Of course, in this process, he received a lot of instructions because he took the medicine yesterday.
After the new year mission was completed, Zheng Jianguo had a meal at the Embassy at noon. Zheng Jianguo was sent to the airport by Zhao Liangliang and Jiang Lu. It has to be said that there are enough branches in the United States. There are four flights to Boston every day. As he entered the waiting hall, he checked his tickets, After finding a seat and sitting down, he began to look at the big and small bags of the people next to him: "haven't the bags that can be dragged appear yet?"
In his mind, he recalled the past bit by bit. Zheng Jianguo really didn't find the picture of pulling the handle or pushing the pull rod handle. Instead, he found the picture of many ordinary suitcases with wheels at the bottom. He felt that he was a little too dark under the light. He remembered that luggage was everywhere in the world.
The electric fan needs the motor and the shell to open the mold, and the most precise thing about the luggage is the push-pull rod that is pressed down and pulled up?
Zheng Jianguo had never been in contact with the manufacturing industry in his previous life, so at present, even if he had understood the manufacturing of electric fans, he just stayed on the surface. He knew that the motor was the core of electric fans and the plastic shell was made by molds, but only to this point, at least one appearance design became black under the light.
Of course, as the boss, this is enough. Otherwise, even the appearance design and product line design are responsible. What do so many people have to do?
On the luggage, Zheng Jianguo took it and compared it with the electric fan. He felt that this thing was not technical. The only thing to pay attention to was the patent. He didn't know that the original man who invented the modern luggage in 1991 had expired because he forgot to pay the patent fee.
Vaguely, Zheng Jianguo only felt that there was still a difference between the electric fan and the luggage. Just now, the boarding prompt sounded in the waiting hall, which dispelled his faint thought. When he came home with his bag and pressed the answering machine, he heard a familiar voice: "Hi, Hani, happy New year's Eve. My fourth sister asked someone to pull a phone at home, The number is - "
"The fourth sister pulled a phone at home?"
After Zheng Jianguo was stunned, he quickly took out a paper note and felt that Yang Na's voice was still different. After she went to the telephone and left a message on the next answering machine, another familiar voice came: "Hi, Zheng Jianguo, I wish you a happy Christmas night."
"Hehe -"
Euna's cheek flashed in her mind. Zheng Jianguo pressed the next note again. Ulrika's voice came out: "Hi, Zheng, I wish you a happy new year."
With Ulrika's voice, there were seven or eight similar blessings from Charlie, Belinda of the college and kafulan of the society of Gastroenterology. Zheng Jianguo finally found that there was nothing to return, so he took out his textbooks and papers from his bag and went to the coffee machine. The spirit of instant coffee, which he quit for a day yesterday, improved, By now he had confirmed that it was almost the problem with this kind of coffee.
The reason why I didn't call home was that it was around 5:00 a.m. on the first day of the first month of the year of the monkey. According to Zheng Jianguo's experience, Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei should have only slept for a short time. After all, as the first Spring Festival after moving to the city, the two old people are likely to stay old.
In the past, during the Spring Festival when the sanlibao brigade was short of electricity and oil, the family would rest after eating until more than 10 o'clock. Now the family has electricity and TV. In addition, Yang Na and fan Dailin came home for the new year, they would not rest too early with the company of their fourth sister.
Zheng Jianguo didn't know that his idea was infinitely close to the fact. Until he had dinner at night and saw that the time had reached more than eight o'clock, he picked up the phone and dialed. Du Xiaomei's voice vaguely came: "crooked, crooked, who are you?"
"Mother, why is your voice so small?"
After listening carefully, Zheng Jianguo asked with a question mark in his eyes. Zheng Donghua's voice came faintly from the microphone: "Mom, your receiver is reversed again -"
"蝈 蝈 蝈 -"
A slightly attenuated hoarse voice came. Zheng Jianguo trembled in his heart and quickly said, "Mom, happy new year. I miss you and dad very much, but I'm still busy studying now. How about I pick you up in the second half of the year?"
"Oh, take it out, where?"
Du Xiaomei's sadness was suddenly distorted by Zheng Jianguo's words. She hadn't spoken to Zheng Jianguo for years. She held the microphone upside down and listened to it vaguely, but the sound was small and attenuated, and some distortion could not be confirmed. She didn't confirm it until a clear word came, It was only when it was brewing that it came out that it was startled by the content: "go abroad?"
"Yes, come to America, you and dad. I'm going to wait until my fourth sister brings you over for the summer vacation. How about it?"
Hearing the sadness in Du Xiaomei's voice disappeared, Zheng Jianguo knew that her plot had succeeded. My mother was not good at expressing her feelings in front of him. Of course, this did not mean that Du Xiaomei was not good at expressing her feelings, but that she knew that a loving mother had many losers. This was also the reason why she wanted Zheng Donghua to beat herself. Sure enough, a voice came from the microphone: "well, If you go there, you have to tell your father. "
Du Xiaomei is a woman. She doesn't understand the concept behind going abroad to America. After all, she hasn't even gone out of Shanxian territory in her life. Now I heard that she wants to go to America on the other side of the earth. Although she won't ask how to live with her head down, she feels a little uneasy in her heart. She just invited Zheng Jianguo, She also threw the responsibility to Zheng Fugui: "Zheng Fugui, your son's phone."
"Mom, Dad went to Sanli castle to pay New Year's greetings. What did Jianguo do to find dad?"
Zheng Donghua's voice came. Du Xiaomei didn't know what she was muttering. She didn't hear clearly, and then said, "I'll discuss it with your father. Your fourth sister is coming. You can talk to her."
As if she saw Zheng Donghua next to her, Du Xiaomei resumed her usual temper and stuffed the phone into her hand: "it's Chen's phone."
"Yes."
Zheng Donghua finished wiping the water stains on her hands and took them in front of the big table. Then Zheng Jianguo's voice came from the microphone: "fourth sister, is this the person you're looking for?"
"No, it's the relationship between my third brother-in-law. I just paid."
Zheng Donghua said and looked at Du Xiaomei next to her and saved the money. Zheng Jianguo's voice on the phone said, "that's not a small favor."
In 1980, the telephone penetration rate of the Republic was less than 0.4%. The main reason was that the degree of switch automation was too low. Most counties were still using the handle 40 or 50 years ago. In Shanxian County, it was also because Shan province was a province with a high degree of industrialization.
Of course, this is relatively speaking. Long distance transmission mainly depends on open lines and analog signals, and the signal attenuation rate is not to mention. 15% of the calls need to wait for an hour or even two hours to get through.
As for Zheng Jianguo's international call, it is also because the country has made great efforts to ensure international communication. In this case, he calls more at home, and dialing at home and abroad is more troublesome.
Based on the above reasons, Zheng Jianguo, who has money in his hand, didn't want to install a phone at home. I'm afraid this index can only be solved by finding Luo Shuqiang. In addition, Du Xiaomei and Zheng Fugui won't call, so he didn't arrange someone to run.
"The uncle of the third brother-in-law is leaving."
Zheng Donghua's voice came. Zheng Jianguo paused in his mind before he realized who he was talking about: "Luo Shuqiang, he's going to be promoted?"
Luo Shuqiang is the deputy director of the reform committee of Shanxian County. In Zheng Jianguo's mind, the promotion is the director. But he clearly remembers that in his previous life, he went to the National People's Congress to support the people's Congress after he was about to retire. Finally, he enjoyed the retirement of level 12 treatment. He thought that when his butterfly's wings were too fierce, he didn't think Zheng Donghua said, "he mentioned level 1 to support the construction of Shenzhen City -"
Having just heard about the real estate project in Shencheng, Zheng Jianguo thought of the current situation there. Of course, the deputy director can go south. Needless to say, it is also the relationship between his butterfly's wings: "that's good. Now it's the time for lack of people over there --"
"Well, Roland will go to Hong Kong to study with me and Kou Yang after the new year -"
Zheng Donghua just thought that Zheng Jianguo knew about Shencheng from who, and didn't mention Roland unexpectedly: "when she goes to see her parents, it's closer. I think there may be some reasons in this regard."
"That is the right not to expire -"
Thinking that Luo Shuqiang is leaving, it is easy to be accepted by other directors and deputy directors if he crosses the line. After all, this one can leave an empty place. For director Yu and deputy director Kou Qingkai, it is a good result: "have the TV been sent out?"
"No, the eldest sister and the second sister will come back tomorrow. Li Tie paid for four bicycles, but the third sister took them away when Luo just came to call people yesterday."
Yesterday was the 30th day of the lunar new year. According to the custom of Shanxian County, the man who made a marriage had to ask the woman to come to the house for the new year. It belongs to the category of the man who made a marriage, which is the person in the mother-in-law's family. In terms of meaning expression, it is the embodiment of the man's family's recognition of the daughter-in-law.
However, some women's families will have greater initiative at this time. Some think that they are people from other families after the new year, and will let the woman continue to stay at home for the last year. However, most women's families will not do so. After all, the young couple are hot before marriage: "but there are a lot of gifts -"
"Don't talk about it. The eldest sister and the second sister didn't have these things at that time. It's all a matter to their ears. You'll give gifts to your family when you go out. It's more or less a matter of heart, but you can't try hard to compete on it. Our parents can dislike who's sending less?"
When Zheng Donghua said it, Zheng Jianguo forgot about it. First, he remembered the situation when the eldest sister and the second sister went out of the door. Both sisters went out of the door when they were married, but Zheng Qiuhua, the third sister, was the first time. Naturally, he thought of the person talking on the phone: "our sister and brother usually talk the most, I think you can understand what I said. I don't want my parents to feel a headache for your four sisters in this regard -- "
Remembering what Zheng Donghua said when escorting her home, Zheng Jianguo also knew that this sister's mind was probably the most among the four sisters. My mother wanted her to convince herself by force, but I didn't want to convince her. Now those who took the work test university are going to study abroad. I probably don't look down on the three sisters, But Zheng Jianguo doesn't know whether he will think so when he is married to the colorful world.
In fact, Zheng Jianguo thought of her relationship with Kou bin at the moment. He just remembered that his sister and brother had never said the other half of each other in communication. He also had a sense of crisis about Kou bin in his heart. He looked careless. In fact, he was also careless.
"I don't need you to say more about this. Naturally, I know it well -"
Zheng Donghua looked at Du Xiaomei next to her and went out. Then she lowered her voice and said, "let me tell you something. My mother is pregnant."
