Chapter 366: Consumption Levels

At about 8 o'clock the next morning, Jia Jingyuan was satisfied and dressed, threw a tip of 1,000 tenge at the bedside, and knocked on the door next door.

They flew directly from Beijing to Almaty, and it has been four or five days since they came here, and nothing is good here, except for a little good, and it is really comfortable to consume.

1,000 tenge, equivalent to 15 yuan, let him taste unprecedented comfort, you must know that the current mainland has not developed at all, and only the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has such related services, but the quality, and this service attitude, is too far from catching up with this side.

The main thing is the price, if you want to have such a happy night in Dongguan, there is no one thousand two or eight hundred.

It is more expensive to go to Hong Kong in a group.

Pat the remaining few thousand tenge, if you bring 10,000 yuan, you can spend all day drinking here, enough to play for a whole year.

Another room is also Lianyungang's foreign trade counterparts, Lianyungang Sanshui Foreign Trade Company boss Li Qilin, opened the door and the two smiled tacitly, about to go back to the State Guesthouse, there is an inspection this afternoon.

"How about it, Lao Jia, find a place to eat noodles first, how did you feel last night?"

"Tsk, don't mention it, that Tongtai all over the body, by the way, did you see it last night? Awesome, I can't think of us Chinese lifting up here, which god is it, we have to take the time to visit." ”

At the mention of this, Li Qilin twitched obviously, and was still a little afraid in his heart: "This must be a local snake, let's stay away, then again, the security environment in this place is worrying." ”

"That's not necessarily, doesn't this just prove that we Chinese have status, yesterday that guy was also a ruthless man, that old hairy man couldn't get up, and he was beaten on the ground, it's really grumpy." ”

After saying that, Jia Jingyuan also felt a chill in his back, and remembered the matter of the red sour branch at Ruili Port at the beginning, this foreign thing, it seems that the matter of investing here should be cautious again.

The two of them are not young either, even if they see this kind of big scene, their hearts tremble, enough to weigh it, they will not talk nonsense easily, they clearly see jealousy in the eyes of the other party, but they still pretend to be fine: "Find a place to eat first." ”

When it comes to eating, as soon as the two of them cover their stomachs, uncomfortable things are coming again.

In addition to hotels and hotels, it is more difficult to find a place to eat, even if it is a roadside stall.

The two went downstairs and walked along the central square for a long time, but they didn't see a breakfast shop.

Obviously, there are countless pedestrians on the streets, but there is no one to sell food.

After shopping for a long time, I finally saw a cake seller, and only two boxes were placed, although there were many pedestrians, many pedestrians stayed in front of the stall, but few people came forward to buy.

One look at the price tag, brioche bread, 100 tenge, fresh milk, a bag, 50 tenge.

The two of them each bought two bags of milk and two pieces of brioche bread, and they wanted to have something else, but the store only sold this one.

There is also no place to provide seating.

After all, the two of them are decent people, they hold their own identities, and they can't do things that they eat while walking, so they returned to the central square and found a chair to sit down, and when they saw the bread in their hands, a flock of pigeons flapped their wings and flew over.

The bread was black and hard, and it took only one bite, grinded it in its mouth a few times, pounced, and spit it on the ground.

The pigeons pounced on the food.

Jia Jingyuan kicked his feet randomly, tore the bread open, and took a look: "What is this?"

Li Qilin also spit it out, took a closer look at the bread, and smiled bitterly: "This is not bread, wowotou, corn bran made." ”

"What?" Jia Jingyuan rubbed hard, and sure enough, he saw the long strip of face falling: "It's really cornmeal." ”

Li Qilin licked a mouthful of cream, the cream was not bad, quite authentic, but it was only rich in foam, but there was no sweetness, only a little sweet crystal, smiled, shook his head, and threw the bread away.

It fell right at the feet of a young man passing by.

The young man did not hesitate for a moment, picked up the bread and ran quickly.

The rest of the pile of pigeons was still spinning in place, obviously having food coming down, but they didn't want to be snatched away.

Jia Jingyuan watched the man pick up the bread in a daze: "Isn't it, eat what you lose?"

Look at the loaf of bread in your hand, phew, throw it away.

A child on the other side saw it and quickly pounced on it and picked it up.

The rest of the pile of pigeons was circling around again.

Li Qilin shook his head, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one alone, which was quite touching: "Mr. Jia never ate cornmeal when he was a child?"

"Why haven't you eaten cornmeal, we've also worked hard, but it's not so thick. ”

Li Qilin said with a smile: "That proves that your family conditions are not bad, which is cornmeal, corn bran, corn particles and cobs together, when I was a child, my family was poor, our village played cornmeal, the cobs inside were reluctant to be lost, they were all broken with the particles, eating stuck teeth, diarrhea at night and intestinal pain, have you ever experienced this kind of life?"

Jia Jingyuan laughed and said: "That's better than you, we are a fishing village, when I was a child, I ran to pick up oysters and clams, and at that time I stole a bottle of soy sauce from the family, and ate it while picking it up, and I wasn't hungry." ”

"Then you are so happy, you have to live in the mountains to know what pain is. Saying that, Li Qilin denied again: "It's not bad to have a mountain, you have to be born in the Guanzhong Plain, you know what hardship is, my hometown is from Shanxi, so there is really no way to get hungry, as long as you can fill your stomach, you dare to gnaw on the bark." ”

Almaty in the morning is still very cold, located in the mountainous area with heavy humidity, there is still a little dew on the ground, the temperature is slightly cool, this central square began to be lively, I don't know why there are so many people, one by one Eros people are also applying for haggard, just mix as if they haven't slept well, with dark circles under their eyes, with a round-brimmed hat, and their hands are shrunk in their sleeve cages, wandering around the central square.

They are all people who are waiting for work, and the unemployment rate has been high for a long time.

Jia Jingyuan saw it, and shook his head again and again: "Lao Li, we are not educated, tell me, what is the business in Kazakhstan doing? Why haven't I understood it, what do you want, what kind of money do you make, I still can't figure it out, how can they be so poor?"

Indeed, after four or five days of investigation, what they saw on the surface, made them very disappointed.

In Kazakhstan at the moment, the level of consumption can be described as deformed.

The service sector simply does not have.

Due to the Almaty incident last year and the impact of the ruble collapse, factories have closed down one after another, and there are still a large number of people fleeing, and the entire social order is maintained by the government, and there is no ability to operate independently.

The other major cities are in even worse condition, and all the people who have no choice are pouring into Almaty.

As a result, the city is extremely crowded.

But there is no consumption dividend brought by a large number of people.

Because the level of consumption is simply too high.

And the per capita income is too low and too low.

The monthly salary of ordinary workers is only three or four thousand tenge, and the cheaper two or three thousand tenge is only equivalent to the level of forty or fifty yuan.

But it is unbelievable that a sportswear made in China can be sold for 5,000 tenge here, which is more than the monthly salary of a worker, and it is simply not affordable.

A pair of inferior faux leather shoes can be sold for 2,000 tenge, and the belt can't be sold at all, and this side is solved with hemp rope.

And the prices in the shops are even more prohibitively high.

A bottle of Coca-Cola can be sold for 200 tenge.

A box of instant noodles can also be sold for 200 tenge.

When it comes to using goods, there is not a single commodity that the working class can afford.

Jia Jingyuan asked: "You said Lao Li, what can they afford with this salary?"
