Chapter 596: Change
For the Seymours of the Great Harlett Wasteland, they have become more and more incomprehensible to the world.
The thunderstorms that always hang over the head are becoming less and less every year, and the lifestyle of hunting indoors for half a year has completely disappeared.
If there is still a reason to change the habits of life, all kinds of new things will be dizzying.
The day before yesterday, I was still amazed by the convenience of the train network, yesterday I had a bird's-eye view of my home on the platform on the floating boat, and today I was enjoying the scenery of network TV.
Many people feel that they are not keeping up with the times, that yesterday's knowledge and insights are outdated today, and that the most important thing is the repeated reshaping of life goals and worldviews....... To put it bluntly, it's a bit lively, and I don't know what kind of life I want.
Halle Diahn himself is a prime example of this, and he himself does not know what to do next.
Before the outsider came, when he was a teenager, his dream was to become an excellent wasteland hunter, to hunt a "tooth king" level beast alone before the age of two hundred years, to become a hero among the young people of the tribe, to find a girl with a big ass and give birth to a litter of big fat boys.
Shortly after the Ashites, and not long after the New Winteria City was built, he became an assembly line worker in an Ashic beverage factory.
At that time, what he liked most was how many working hours and how many workpieces he did every day, and how many days he could reach the fur and minions of a "tooth king" demonic beast, when he was promoted to team leader and his salary reached five days and one tooth king, he was not in the mood to practice martial arts.
At this time, according to the standards of the Seymour people, he was still just a "teenager", but when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he was surprised to find that he had become the richest man in all of them with a box of household goods.
And the original hero of the tribe, his childhood idol No. 1 hunter, Aque, caused an accident in New Winteria City, injured people in battle, and became a wanted criminal spurned by everyone........ He threw away the lightning spear and the ink shield that he had planned to use for the rest of his life, and he had no interest in hunting anymore.
When he returned to the city with Ah Hua, he no longer counted the fraction of the tooth king he earned, but counted how many New Tonya coins he made in a month like the Ash, and he was not far from buying a house and settling down.
At this time, his dream was probably to be promoted from the team leader to the workshop director, who could earn twice the salary of the team leader without having to work and stare at everyone all day, and could freely decide to take vacations.
When people yearn for a peaceful life, fate always surprises or frightens people suddenly.
There was a series of fluctuations in the new city, and the Seymour people, who had not yet understood what the economy meant, first knew an economic term - financial crisis.
Needless to say, Haller only knew that his dream had shattered.
"The factories are gone, the boss has run away with his sister-in-law, how can I be promoted to workshop director. ”
Like most New Seymours, he had no habit of saving and was saddled with a lot of debt.
At the beginning, those shops said well, what "money will become less and less valuable, and 30 years installment is equal to giving it away for nothing", "you are the leader of the group? Okay, low interest within 100,000 yuan." "Buy early and enjoy the ...... early", "Money doesn't leave you, he just accompanies you in a different form." ”
All kinds of advertisements talk about benefits and free gifts..... No, it's not like "what it says", all kinds of salesmen even enter the market directly, and the boss introduces these loans and commodity sales to these workers and cadres as factory benefits.
How can a completely inexperienced newcomer resist these sales tactics, I really think it is a benefit from the boss, they basically buy a lot of benefits, they have been in debt for 30 years (30 years is not long for Seymours), and now more than half of the monthly salary is handed over to various installments.
Now that the salary is gone, and there is also an employment winter, this month's food, rent, and water and electricity bills are not enough, how can there be money to pay the monthly tribute.
At this time, those merchants who were originally kind as relatives have changed their faces...... They're going bankrupt too!
Not only did they come up with all kinds of debt forcing methods, but they also took out the original monthly payment contract - "If you can't pay on time, you refuse to pay before the payment is completed, and the goods will be completely returned to pay for the goods without returning." ”
What does it mean? It means that if you take out a loan to buy a house, if you don't have the money to pay the monthly payment, the house will become something else, and the previous monthly payment will not be refunded, if the house has been sold or damaged...... I'm sorry, you've been working for decades and you still owe someone a house.
Such a clause is not the patent of New Tonia City, not even Ash's patent, and even the clause of the installment loan on Earth, but the Seymours did not really think of fulfilling the clause before, they had long been dazzled by the so-called high salary and materialism at that time, and they did not even consider that they would not be able to pay it one day.
"What, there's something wrong with this clause? Don't worry, it's just a procedure, and it's never been fulfilled. Well, it's just a procedure. ”
And the original salesman also said it well enough...... In fact, even the promoters did not expect that this clause would not only be fulfilled, but also on a large scale, and even they themselves would be victims of early consumption and super loans.
Thankfully, the entire economic market did not collapse, and Haller did not become a member of the queue on the rooftop.
But he was also lucky enough to find a new job....... Or rather, a new job found him, and the unemployed on the streets at that time are now soldiers of the First Regiment of the Haraite Federation.
And now, he is a veteran of seven years of service.
What turned out to be a dream of becoming a workshop director turned into a dream of becoming a major officer. 8)
