Chapter 114 Who Wins and Who Loses "Give me a copy of Jiuzhou. ......
"Give me a copy of Jiuzhou." Liang Ning passed by a bookstore before going to work. She remembered Li Daohua said that Jiuzhou would be on the market today.
After receiving it, Liang Ning specifically asked the clerk how many people came to buy "Jiuzhou" today.
"You're the first."
Liang Ning's working hours are not very early, so she came to buy the magazine relatively late. Even so, she was the first one, which shows that everyone still has doubts about this magazine.
Liang Ning had confidence in Li Daohua. When he arrived at his workstation, he didn't have much work to do, so he took a look at "Jiuzhou" first. This could also be considered as scouting the enemy's situation, as they were competitors of "Jiuzhou".
Soon, colleagues from the editorial department came to work one after another, everyone holding "Jiuzhou" in their hands, and when they saw each other, they smiled at each other.
They didn't say anything, just lowered their heads and read.
Just looking at everyone's seriousness, it seems as if everyone is a model worker.
"Have a look at the final reconciliation between China and foreign countries!" Suddenly, a colleague spoke excitedly.
Liang Ning was originally reading the book in order, reading ten lines at a glance. When he heard what he said, he turned to the back and instantly understood why he was so excited.
For those who have never been abroad, what is it like abroad?
Is it really like what others say, that there is gold everywhere on the ground and we can eat and drink well without working?
The reference value of movies is not great for them. After all, the lives of the movie protagonists are too far away from them.
The protagonist of the movie would not go to the supermarket and carefully calculate the price of rice and flour.
Li Daohua's account reconciliation is very intuitive to them, including the salary and the price of rice and flour.
Wages abroad are very high, far from what you can compare to in China, but correspondingly, the price of rice and flour abroad is several times higher than in China.
Currently, the price of a pound of pork in China is about one yuan, while in America it is one dollar.
Taking college students as an example, the salary level is 600 yuan per month after graduation in China, while in the United States it is 6,000 yuan per month.
To rent a house, in China, it costs eight yuan for a two-bedroom, one-living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, while abroad, it costs eight hundred yuan for a two-bedroom, one-living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.
In short, spend money where you earn it. Judging from the salary and price levels, college students and workers at home and abroad can support their entire family with one job.
However, domestic resources are not as abundant as those abroad, and sometimes there is money but nowhere to spend it, especially for rich people.
"Six thousand salary! How much money does that have to be?" People in the editorial department couldn't imagine it.
"But there are a lot of expenses. The rent is eight hundred a month."
"Then I can rent a cheap house. Instead of a two-bedroom apartment, I can just rent a single room. That way I can save money. If I have a house, I can save money on rent."
"Hey, Teacher Daohua wrote that the median house price is $80,000, and the weekly loan interest rate is about 15 percent."
“In those two years, I can buy a house.”
"If you buy a house in the country, you can buy one in two years."
"Fifteen percent weekly interest rate, is that crazy? Usury?"
Everyone envies America's wealth and its abundant material resources, but they look down on America's housing prices, loans, and agricultural product prices.
The best thing would be for America to earn money and spend it back home. Of course, some people in this era do this, and life is indeed better this way than having it both ways.
Because of the large reconciliation in the magazine, people who have read it will unconsciously recommend it to people around them. If they don’t read it, they will fall behind, as it is in line with international standards.
As for whether this magazine is a scam?
How is that possible!
Who is the magazine owner? Li Daohua! Who is she? The conscience of the nation! You can go to America at will. She has really been to America.
I don't believe her, I believe you? Have you been to America? If not, why are you writing nonsense?
What's more, there are photos on it, real photos of America, not just the extravagant and decadent ones in the movies, but photos of the lives of ordinary people.
If people like Liang Ning are like this, people with education and jobs envy America, and a few criticize her, then people without education and jobs feel even more complicated.
A dishwasher in America earns eight hundred dollars a month for a twelve-hour workday. According to the price levels in magazines, after a month's work, she will have little money left. One must at least have a certain level of education to be able to save money.
Of course, workers’ wages are higher, but they also require documents, and the deal is not over once the house is bought. Property taxes must be paid every year, and you cannot afford them if you cannot afford them.
After watching this episode, the average person’s reaction is that America is really rich.
Li Daohua knew that wages would increase fifty to a hundred times in the decade from the late 1980s to the late 1990s, but ordinary people could not imagine it.
All they can see is a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan. They have to starve for ten years to get what others earn in a year, and that’s not even converted into RMB. After Jiuzhou was published, some magazines started to move, and economic magazines discovered a new world.
The sales of magazines of this type have never been very good, and there are few buyers. The reconciliation of "Jiuzhou" is simply a blessing from heaven for them.
Based on the prices and wage levels published by Jiuzhou, they can easily calculate their living standards and surplus for a month.
People love to read targeted articles.
After an initial period of silence, "Jiuzhou" experienced a blowout explosion, and bookstores across the country were urging them to increase their quotas, not only for this month, but also for the next month.
"Jiuzhou" is a bimonthly magazine, published every two months. During these two months, the newspaper has examined every word of "Jiuzhou" and studied it thoroughly.
Although most newspapers are promoting that America earns a lot and spends a lot, which is about the same as the domestic level, it is obvious that the incentive of 6,000 is enough to make many people brainless.
During the past two months, the printing factory that Li Daohua and his colleagues cooperated with has been working non-stop and printing at full capacity, but it seems as if they will never be able to finish printing.
Just when I finished filling the gap of the first issue, the second issue comes again.
The second phase is industrial products and tuition fees.
Li Daohua specifically put industrial products in the front and also displayed domestic and imported prices.
In America, domestic products are more expensive than imported products, while in China, imported products are more expensive than domestic products. This has a lot to do with labor and technology.
In terms of industrial products, China is at a complete disadvantage. We are completely behind in terms of quantity and variety, and even the price is not at all advantageous.
The following aspects of education shocked domestic readers.
A magazine said that half of college students in America need loans to go to school, and the interest rates are also very high, which can be regarded as usury in China.
The reason for the loan is that the tuition and textbook fees for college are ridiculously expensive.
Based on current wages and interest rates, if you are lucky, you can pay off your student loans in a dozen years of work.
Luck here means that after getting a job, you have the opportunity to get promoted and get a raise, rather than staying stuck in one position, or being replaced by a high-paying position after reaching a certain age.
A well-known president successfully paid off his student loans after becoming a member of Congress. At that time, more than ten years had passed since he graduated from college and received his doctorate.
He went to college in the 1980s and paid off his student loans in 2004. His life can be considered quite successful.
In an instant, the students lost their defenses. Playing is allowed, making noise is allowed, but school is not a joke.
In this era in China, getting into college basically means changing your life. From the moment you start college, you will receive government subsidies. Even if your family is in financial difficulty, there will still be help from governments at all levels and fellow villagers.
Even if there is any debt, it can be paid back quickly after you get a job, and the rest is pure profit.
The editors of the economics magazine looked at the analytical report they wrote in the previous issue and felt like the sky was falling. Why didn’t they write such an important matter in advance!
There is no mention of loans in the living expenses they wrote down. If loans were included, how could they save money?
This means that their previous calculation of buying a house within three years at most is simply impossible. They can barely afford a down payment or a loan to buy a house within three years at most, and when they repay the loan, they can only pay the lowest tranche.
The problem is the subsequent loan repayments and various taxes. If you don’t buy a house, you will have to keep renting out the house.
After much calculation, they concluded that at the current interest rate, it was not suitable to borrow money to buy anything because the risk tolerance was too low.
In fact, their analysis is indeed the truth. The reason why there are so many homeless people in America is that many of them have low risk resistance and have a lot of things at home that they bought with loans, and the interest rates are frighteningly high.
It is not noticeable when the economy is on the rise, but once there is an economic fluctuation, it is easy to stop supplying goods.
So what about not going to school?
Not going to school is even worse, there is no chance of turning things around.
The country is now in a period of reform and opening up, and when the wind is blowing, even pigs can take off.
America's boom period has passed, and now it is basically controlled by big capital.
The chicken soup propaganda about an ordinary family dropping out of school to start a business and becoming the richest man is just for listening; it is purely made up to deceive people.
A simple search will show you that the parents of such people usually have money and power, and they come into contact with people that most people will never be able to come into contact with even if they work hard for their entire lives.
However, a very strange phenomenon occurred at this time.
Some people believe the advantages of America written by Li Daohua, but few people believe the shortcomings she wrote about.
After this issue of the magazine was published, Li Daohua's reputation was almost ruined.
Some people think that Li Daohua's writing is a form of spiritual victory, and that America could not be like this.
Some people also think that this kind of loan method is very good. It is the same as spending money to buy a house, but the loan can allow people to enjoy life in advance.
The more loans you take out, the more benefits you get, and this is most evident among young people.
No matter when, young people are the main force of consumption. In the 1980s, when the general salary was only a few dozen yuan, they were willing to spend more than ten or even twenty yuan to buy a piece of clothing.
Because domestic companies basically have stable jobs. Even if they are not so stable now, you can still find a job as long as you are willing.
In recent years, more and more self-employed individuals and private units have gradually gotten on the right track, and these units are in a stage of eagerly seeking talent.
This is the fact. If some industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood are privatized without scruples, it will be hell for ordinary people.
