Chapter 438 Domineering New Year Purchases!

It is a Chinese tradition to buy new year goods.

Even Yang Bailao, the poor man among the poor, wanted to tie a red-headed rope for Xi'er during the Spring Festival.

For those who have a little family background, the Chinese New Year must be a big deal. This is not only a reward for one year's hard work, but it will be better for next year than this year. It is also a show for the neighbors to make them envious of the happy life of their own family. .

This is how people are, once they are satisfied in life, they have to pursue some spiritual pursuits, and making others envious and jealous is another kind of psychological satisfaction.

Since the opening of the port, Shanghai has always been one of the most prosperous areas in Huaguo. In recent years, "one" can be removed, because they still account for one-sixth of Huaguo's tax revenue!

However, this is the selection of the tallest among the dwarfs, and Shanghai City's own life can only be said to be able to live.

In 1979, the average salary in Shanghai and Shanghai was 55 yuan, and the second largest city in Huajing was 52 yuan a month.

But this does not mean that people's lives are very difficult.

Of course, in 1979, prices in Shanghai and Shanghai were also very cheap.

For example, a sesame flatbread costs 3 cents, and if you want something sweet, it costs 4 cents.

One and a half double fried dough sticks cost 4 cents, a bowl of salty soy milk costs 4 cents, and a bowl of sweet soy milk costs 5 cents.

If you want to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles, that is, Erliang noodles with some green onions, it costs 8 cents.

There are 10 eggs for 6 cents, and they are basically the same size.

Last year's old rice was 13.5 yuan and 100 catties, and this year's new rice was 15 yuan and 100 catties. The good rice selected from the new rice was 17 yuan and 100 catties.

The price of pork is 80 cents a catty. If it is in a remote place, it can be cheaper.

However, in this era, because everyone lacks oil and water, the fatter the pork, the more people buy it, and the lean pork is almost uninterested.

If you want to eat hairy crabs, it will be more expensive, about 2 yuan a catty. But these are not fakes, they are authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs!

If the above prices are calculated in this way, the average salary of a person in Shanghai can basically buy 400 catties of rice or 70 catties of pork. The purchasing power is still very amazing, at least eating is no problem.

As for housing, medical care, and children's schooling, the unit is still in charge, so there is no need to worry about it.

For a thrifty family, it is possible to save 300 or 500 yuan a year.

For a big festival like the Chinese New Year, under normal circumstances, everyone will pay at least one month's salary, and they must have chicken, duck and fish. This is a lively year.

If you have a little more money, Shanghai brand all-steel watches, Phoenix brand 18 heavy-duty bicycles, Butterfly brand sewing machines, Sanyo washing machines, Seagull brand cameras, etc., are all good Chinese New Year gifts for yourself or your family.

If only a little more money...

It's a pity that so far, there are not many people who are so rich.

However, this was the past, and there are still such a group of people now.

who?

Employees of Shanghai Animation Film Studio!

Not to mention the cooperation fee of 2 million Hong Kong dollars given before, which was used to buy the urgently needed equipment in the factory.

The salary is divided into four or six, and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio can draw 50,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.

These are all small sums. When "Kirin Weekly" started to go on sale, Yin Jun gave him a bonus several times higher than his salary.

According to the rule of 28% with employees, in the first month, that is, in October, Shanghai Animation Film Studio received 80,000 yuan, and as much as 100,000 yuan in the second month.

At the same time, after the booklet was released in November, a bonus of 100,000 yuan was added.

Calculated in this way, the total bonus for five months is almost 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the salary calculated from May, it is also a full 450,000 Hong Kong dollars, a total of 1.05 million Hong Kong dollars.

The money did not pass through the city, but was directly brought back by the employees who went home to visit relatives on vacation, and went directly into the pockets of Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

A group of bosses from the Shanghai Animation Film Studio were not so dead-headed. They went to the bank to exchange money and endured the cheating exchange rate.

They went directly to the piling models and exchanged 1.05 million Hong Kong dollars for 530,000 yuan. Due to the relatively large amount, it was much higher than the official 2.9:1.

The salary of Shanghai Animation Film Studio is one of the highest in Shanghai, a full 65 yuan a month.

Even so, 530,000 is equivalent to a person's salary for 679 years. In other words, it is equivalent to a year's salary for 679 people.

There are more than 200 employees in the Shanghai Fine Arts Studio, and the number of retired employees is still less than 679!

At the end of January, they invited a group of old men over to see how to distribute the money.

A group of people, such as Mr. Wan and Mr. Te, also came through hard times, but they are not pedantic people.

Now that we have a good start and an opportunity to go to the world, it is natural to give everyone more encouragement so that they can continue to struggle.

So they proposed to keep half of it as various development funds in the factory, and then take out half and distribute it to each employee during the Spring Festival.

In addition to a little year-end bonus, it may be a bit taboo to send too much money, so send things to each employee's home, and send New Year's goods!

The leaders in the factory are all their apprentices and grandchildren. If the masters have spoken, can you still say no?

So it was settled.

Including the 33 people who went to Xiangjiang, there are a total of 416 people who are working and retired, and they put out a budget of 260,000, and each of them has 625 yuan to distribute.

Such a huge amount of money really buys a lot of things.

After talking to some middle-aged and young people in the factory about what they needed, the purchasing team in the factory started to act with great fanfare.

The four essential items for marriage in this era are bicycles, sewing machines, watches and radios, plus a camera. This is the famous "three turns, one sound and one click", and every household has a share.

Because everyone is from Shanghai, when purchasing from various factories in the name of the unit, the price is much lower than the market price.

For example, Phoenix brand bicycles are only 50 yuan for women, and 70 yuan for men. As for bicycle tickets, it is even simpler. You have taken so many Hong Kong dollars from us in the city, and you have taken so much advantage. Can't these tickets be issued?

There are also Seagull cameras, which cost 300 yuan a piece outside, because there are a lot of purchases here, and Mr. Wan told their old factory manager that if you are willing, we will follow the 2.5:1 ratio next year. The price will be directly given to you in Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the sea-gull factory over there immediately agreed, and the price has been readily reduced to 150 yuan a piece.

After the big items are over, it’s time to eat and drink for the New Year.

Pork, mutton, rice, rapeseed oil, Daqianmen cigarettes, assorted sugar, salt, white sugar, winter jujube, navel orange, etc. There are dozens of scattered varieties, which can fill half a room.

Many bachelors from other places are worried when they see so many things, how to eat and use them?

In addition, there is a New Year's fee of 30 yuan. This generous bonus that would make people jump with joy in previous years is nothing compared to the "three turns, one sound, one click" and the New Year's goods.

Everyone has three aunts, six wives, seven aunts and eight aunts.

Most of the people in the Shanghai Fine Art Film Studio, including their wives (husbands), have their own relatives, and they don’t seem to be so concerned now that there is only Puxi in Shanghai. Great, the news spread quickly.

"Hey, have you heard? The Shanghai Art Film Studio sent it! My God, when I went to my niece's house, there was almost no room for all kinds of New Year's goods in the house. Let's go At that time, she insisted on giving me two catties of pork and five catties of white sugar, which is a burst of pride!"

"What is this? Go look at the bicycle shed, good guy, all Phoenix bicycles! As long as the employees of Shanghai Animation Film Studio, no matter whether you are working or retired, everyone has one!"

"Hehe, how much is the bicycle? Do you see those young people? They always carry cameras when they go out. Seagull's, 300 yuan! They are all issued by the factory!"

"Why are they so rich in their factory? They have to send out hundreds of dollars of things, right?"

"My son's classmate is from the factory, and I heard that the exact amount was 625 yuan! In the end, there was nothing to buy, so I gave a bonus of 30 yuan! Look, a bonus of 30 yuan! This is all sent by others. Leftovers!"

"What's the matter? Don't you know? Since they cooperated with Xiangjiang's company, their income has increased too much! This year is not a big deal. After the opening, they will follow the Xiangjiang company to sell villains. The better the book sells, the more income I heard... What is it called in Xiangjiang? Dividends! Yes, it is dividends! After a year, it can be casually one or two million!"

"Selling comic books and making so much money? Xiangjiang is such a strange place! I want my son to learn art and painting!"

"Still waiting for your son? Look, this year, when the Academy of Fine Arts and the Academy of Animation are allocated, the Shanghai Art Film Studio will definitely be overwhelmed!"

"Let's not talk about the future, let's just say that these bachelors in the Shanghai Art Film Studio are almost stepped down by the matchmakers! I want to have a daughter, and I also hope to marry someone from the Shanghai Film Studio ah!"

"Yes, if you can marry into it, you will have nothing to worry about for a lifetime!"

"..."

Amidst the discussions, people all over Shanghai, including those in factories and government units, all envied and hated the people in Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

The rewards they give at the end of the year are equivalent to our one-year salary. Isn't this too unbalanced?

Being able to cooperate with Xiangjiang's company is really their luck! !

How come we don't have such good shit luck! ?

...

(I have checked a lot of information about the price of this period, and it is generally correct. If there is a slight discrepancy, please forgive me.)
