Chapter 16 Hierarchy is a wall of air, invisible but existing(2/2)
"So expensive?"
"Comrade, look at this fabric! Look at this tag! This is real Hong Kong product, not Guangzhou product. Look at this style, how fashionable! Isn't it? It's hard to buy a smile, but these dozens of dollars can buy you
If your lover likes it, it will be even more cost-effective!"
"Haha, the goods are returned to Hong Kong!" Wang Lin smiled, "It's ten yuan, can I sell it?"
"Ten yuan? Comrade, you are really good at joking!" The stall owner looked aggrieved, but there was a sly smile in his eyes, "Five more yuan! I'll sell it to you for fifteen yuan."
Wang Lin didn't know how much the skirt was worth, but he could calculate the price.
Prices were not low in the 1980s.
Many people miss the low prices of the past, but they are actually expressing their feelings in the wrong way.
The factory where Wang Lin works has excellent benefits and benefits. The salary is only 80 yuan. Before the price increase, the price of eggs was 1.5 yuan per catty, and the price of meat was 1.75 yuan per catty. Egg prices are not comparable, so just take meat.
Let’s talk about price. Thirty years later, even during the two years when swine fever broke out, the price of meat rose to 35 yuan per catty. Compared with the price of meat in 1988, it was only a twenty-fold increase.
According to relevant data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 1988, the average income of urban residents in my country that could be used for living expenses was 1,119 yuan, while the disposable income of urban residents in 2019 was 42,359 yuan, which means that in the past thirty years, the The data increased by 37.8 times!
From the comparison of these two sets of data, it is clear at a glance which era is better.
Calculating based on a 20-fold increase, this skirt should be sold for 200 yuan in the future, which should be about the same. After all, this is a street stall product, not a big brand.
This is also the reason why Wang Lin counter-offered ten yuan.
"It's only ten yuan. If you don't sell it, I'll leave." Wang Lin made a gesture to leave.
As soon as he lifted his feet, his arm was grabbed by the stall owner.
"Oh, comrade, you are so good at bargaining! I have never sold at such a low price, and today is really the first time! Do you want to buy a pair of glass stockings? Two yuan a pair!"
“Two yuan for a pair? Buy one get one free and that’s more than enough!”
"Oh, you, a gay man, can bargain better than gay women! Forget it, forget it, you are a regular customer, I will sell you two pairs for two yuan."
Wang Lin paid, carried the bag, and continued shopping. When he passed a clothing stall, a woman grabbed him and asked with a smile: "Comrade, how much did you buy this skirt?"
"What's wrong?" Wang Lin saw the same skirt on her stall and asked, "How much does yours sell for?"
"Nine and eight dollars!" the woman made a gesture, "it must be cheaper than what you bought, right?"
Wang Lin's mood suddenly deteriorated.
The woman smiled and said: "Comrade, come and buy from me next time! The clothes here are cheap!"
Wang Lin immediately understood that this was her sales pitch.
She knew clearly that Wang Lin had already bought the dress and could not buy the same dress again. She also knew the base price of the dress, so she deliberately lowered the price to make it appear that everything in her stall was cheap. She mainly wanted to win Wang Lin's future business.
, maybe I’ll kill him harder than anyone else next time!
Even if Wang Lin really spends another ninety-eight yuan to buy it, she will definitely be able to sell it, and the worst she can do is make 20 cents less! Just use words to get Wang Lin to buy other products.
Those who set up stalls are not simple at all, they are full of routines!
Wang Lin thought to himself, the 1980s were neither innocent nor simple!
I want to go back to 2021!
He looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late, so he went back to the factory to work.
As soon as he arrived at the machine repair class, Zhao Weiguo called him to do something: "Wang Lin, there are several machines in the printing and dyeing workshop that need maintenance."
"I don't have time." Wang Lin said lazily. He didn't take a lunch break at noon. He was in low spirits at the moment and just wanted to be lazy.
"You're not free? What do you want?"
"Assistant Zhou from the factory office asked me to come over! If you don't believe me, call the factory office and ask Assistant Zhou!"
"Zhou, assistant?"
Thanks to Zhao Weiguo's courage, he didn't dare to call Assistant Zhou for confirmation!
Zhao Weiguo gave Wang Lin a sharp look and said to Wu Dazhuang: "Dazhuang, please take a few people to repair it!"
Wu Dazhuang is an honest man. In enterprises and institutions, honest people are the ones who are commanded and dominated. He agreed, took a few people with him and left the workshop.
Wang Lin found a chair and sat down, leaning against the wall to sleep.
Zhao Weiguo became so angry that he rushed to Wang Lin, knocked on the wall, and asked loudly: "Wang Lin, didn't you say that Assistant Zhou has something to do with you? Why don't you go? Are you still lazy here?
Are you going to fall asleep while playing around?"
Wang Lin said: "Squad leader, I don't know when Assistant Zhou will come to see me. I have to wait here for orders, don't I?"
"You, you! Your behavior is seriously unorganized and undisciplined! Do you believe I will deduct your bonus?"
"I believe it! You lost so much money to me, and I understand that you feel uncomfortable and want to take revenge on me. If you want to deduct my bonus, just report it! See if the above agrees!"
"Okay, Wang Lin, your wings are strong, aren't they? Don't think that just because you won a competition prize, you can stand up in the mechanical maintenance class! I am the squad leader of the mechanical maintenance class!"
Wang Lin was really not afraid of Zhao Weiguo, and sneered: "Using chicken feathers as arrows! Isn't that what the mechanical repair class has always been like? If you have something to do, just do it, and if you have nothing to do, rest! Aren't you doing nothing here?"
There are so many workers in the class watching!
Where is the majesty of Zhao Weiguo's squad leader?
"Wang Lin!" Zhao Weiguo showed off the momentum of a squad leader, "Sun Xiaoshuai, who works the night shift, will be transferred to the daytime. You and he will switch shifts! Don't you want to sleep? The night shift is easy, you can sleep as long as you want!"
"I'm sorry, I won't change! You can find someone else! I'm a newlywed. Logically speaking, I'm going on my honeymoon now! It's very rare that I can carry forward the spirit of hard work and persist in working here. I
I also have to contribute to the country’s great family planning cause, so I can’t work the night shift!”
"It's not up to you to make the decision! It's my right as the monitor to adjust shifts and days off!"
"You can transfer it again and again, but I won't agree to it anyway!"
Zhao Weiguo is about to fly into a rage!
He pointed at Wang Lin and said: "I can't help you with your prickly head? Starting from tomorrow, you have to work the night shift! That's it! Let's see who dares to object! If you don't work the night shift, you will be considered absent from work.
