Li Xu asked, "You just said that industrial coupons can be used as bills. You can't possibly need that many industrial coupons for dozens of items? If people can't buy big items, can't they buy small items?"
So how much can they lend? How many people do you think you need to borrow from to get enough money to buy a large item? If they have an emergency at home and happen to be there when you need to pay it back, how will you pay it back then?
After hearing this, the smile on Liu Gang's face disappeared instantly.
He said thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense. If we don't handle this well, our good relationship might turn into enmity."
"So I've got an idea for you. Give me an industrial voucher every month. If anyone wants to borrow from you, just push it onto me. That's great."
Liu Gang said angrily, "If you say so, I might as well lend it to someone else. They can return it to me later. But if it goes to you, it will be gone."
Li Xu didn't care. Instead, he grinned and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll lend it to you. If you're worried, let's sign a contract. I'll pay you back double in twenty years."
"How dare you say that! Why don't you wait until I die before paying it back?"
"Hey, that's fine if you say so."
Then the two looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.
After laughing, Li Xu asked, "Uncle Liu, do you know how many industrial coupons are needed to buy a bicycle?"
"Normally, we need forty, but watches and sewing machines will take a little less." Liu Gang then said with emotion, "You're right. It looks like we'll be able to resume selling at the same price in a few months."
Li Xu smiled and continued, "That's quite a lot. If you've just joined the company and can't get this much in your first year, how long will it take you to save up enough to buy something big?"
Liu Gang quickly explained, "Industrial coupons are issued in proportion to wages. As long as there are wages, there will be these, but the amount received will vary."
This made Li Xu a little confused. "Then what did you mean when you said that you can only get one for 20 yuan?"
"Because if the salary is less than 20 yuan, the industrial coupons you receive are only half a coupon. For example, if the salary is 18 yuan, you can only receive half a coupon."
Industrial Vouchers
Li Xu thought about it, then hesitated and said, "What if I just became a regular employee? How should I calculate it?"
"If the salary is less than 30 yuan, you can only get one. If the salary is between 30 and 40 yuan, you can get one and a half. To be precise, you need 40 industrial coupons to buy a bicycle."
Li Xu finally understood, but he was still a little frustrated. "So no matter how I calculate it, I can only get one share? If I want to get one and a half, I guess I'll have to wait until the disaster is over and our transportation volume increases."
Liu Gang chuckled, "You're overthinking it. Our vehicle allowance is not included in this calculation. This is paid based on the salary standard."
Li Xu was immediately unhappy. "Why not? Aren't those subsidies our wages?"
"The subsidy is the money given to us by the company, not the standard set by the state, so of course it can't be counted. If you want to get two, it's easy. You just need to become a regular employee."
Are you speaking human language?
How do you know it's easy to become a regular employee?
Maybe Liu Gang also felt that what he said was a bit too much, so he showed an embarrassed expression and changed the subject to talk about other things.
Li Xu didn't think any more about it and continued chatting with him.
afternoon.
The first thing Li Chen did when he got home was to run to Sun Xiu and say, "Mom, I've made up my mind. I want to learn martial arts."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure." Li Chen's expression seemed unusually firm.
Sun Xiu didn't say anything more and agreed directly, "Okay, so that you don't regret it later, let's sign a document."
Then Li Chen took out a pen and paper and sat at the table to write.
Seeing this, Li Ping turned around and walked out the door without saying anything.
Li Xu stood by and watched for a while, then shook his head, "Third brother, your handwriting is so ugly. If I don't look carefully, I can't recognize what you are writing."
Li Chen ignored him and concentrated on writing.
He finished writing it quickly, read the contents again, and then asked, "Dad, Mom, do you think this is okay?"
"It's well written. Give me the receipt."
Taking the paper, Sun Xiu folded it and put it in his pocket. "I'll get the money for you when you go."
Hearing this, Li Chen suddenly became excited, "Thank you, Mom, thank you, Dad."
Li Jiakang waved his hand and said calmly, "There's nothing to thank me for. As long as you don't regret it, that's all."
"Don't worry, I've been thinking about it all day, and I definitely won't regret it."
Li Jiakang and others looked at each other and said no more.
During the meal, Li Xu said, "The fact that the Third Brother and Xiao Ju are practicing martial arts should be kept private to us. Don't tell anyone else to avoid any trouble."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Then Li Xu talked about the industrial vouchers.
Everyone in the Li family was stunned after hearing this.
Li Jiakang was the quickest to react. "Based on our family's salary, we can receive five and a half industrial coupons every month. Wouldn't that mean we can save enough to buy a bicycle in eight months?"
"right."
"That's good. Special bills are so rare. It's much easier to use industrial coupons." Li Jiakang laughed as he spoke.
Seeing him like this, Li Ping teased, "Dad, I think you're not asking about bicycles, but watches, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Li Xu smiled and said, "Although the number of industrial coupons required for watches is less than that for bicycles, it's not much less. Considering our family's situation, it will probably take seven months to collect enough."
Li Jiakang suddenly became anxious, "Then when do we have to wait? Xiu'er, that's not what you promised me."
"I told you before that I'd buy you a watch if the price dropped. Don't worry about that." Sun Xiu thought for a moment, then continued, "How about this, we buy a radio first, so we can help you pass the time at home."
Li Xu gave her a thumbs up and said, "Mom, you are smart. I think so too."
No one had any objection.
Nothing else, life in this era is really boring.
This is also the reason why every family has so many children.
After all, married people don't have much other entertainment activities besides making children...
Hearing Sun Xiu's answer, Li Jiakang felt relieved and then said with emotion, "Life is really getting better and better."
"It won't be good until the disaster is over. Eating now is like being a thief, afraid of being discovered." Li Ping complained, then said to Sun Xiu, "Mom, since the third child has decided to learn martial arts, Guilan and I have discussed it and will support him with 100 yuan when the time comes."
"You two should take a break. How much money do you have? You have to hand over half of your salary to your family every month. After deducting your daily expenses, I dare say you two don't even have 500 yuan."
