Chapter 791: Soviet Russia in Those Years
When he came to the street, Li Chun looked around and asked Zhang Xingming, "Where are we going now?"
Zhang Xingming was also looking around, and said casually: "Go back to the hotel and see how Wang Sheng and their side are doing." ”
Xu Xiaoya raised her hands and said, "All the food we bought was given away." ”
Zhang Xingming glanced at her with a smile and said, "I can't bear it, I'll buy it again." ”
Xu Xiaoya covered her pocket and said, "There are not many rubles on my body, and the money I exchanged is for Wang Sheng and them." ”
Zhang Xingming turned his head to look at Li Chun and the others, and everyone shook their heads and said no. None of these people are used to carrying more money with them.
Zhang Xingming scratched his head and thought about it and said, "Then try the RMB, or the US dollar, I think someone should collect the RMB and the US dollar at this time." It is the US dollar. ”
At this time, the dollar and the ruble are still worth the ruble, and the dollar is worth less than the ruble, 1:0.67. Yes, it turns out that the Russians are so good, the value of the currency is worth more than the dollar, and even in history, the value of the ruble once surpassed the pound sterling and was the most valuable money in the world.
A few people didn't want to enjoy the street scene, and there was really nothing to see when it was dirty outside. Follow the road to the restaurant you just visited.
Sure enough, the boss was very happy to collect dollars, but he didn't charge according to the exchange rate, but charged double the price, ten rubles and twenty dollars, Zhang Xingming didn't care about the exchange rate difference, just be able to collect it, bought a big bag of things and brought it to the hotel.
In the evening, Wang Sheng and a few people came back, Zhang Xingming noticed a little abrasion on the face of one of the team members, and asked, "Wang Shijie, what's wrong with your face?"
Wang Shijie was a little embarrassed and said: "When I met two drunks, I was punched, mainly because I didn't pay attention. ”
Wang Sheng said: "This kid saw the drunk lying on the ground and went over to take a look, but the guy on the ground directly punched him." ”
Zhang Xingming smiled and asked, "And then?"
Wang Sheng said: "Then what can I do, if the drunk person doesn't act, how can he beat him? ”
Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "Be careful when you go out in the future, the economic situation here is not good now, there are a lot of drunks, don't accidentally let people take shotguns and crash one day, there are a lot of folk guns here, and people are very willing to do it." ”
Wang Sheng said: "No, let's stay away from him." Today, I think it's unlikely that you want to buy a shop here, although the system is similar to that here, but there are still a lot of private hotels and restaurants, and this side is completely nationalized, and private people are setting up stalls on the roadside or in the market. ”
Wang Shijie said: "It used to be said that the big brother of Soviet Russia, the big brother of Soviet Russia, feels that this side is much stronger than ours, but now that I look at it, I feel poorer than our country, and it is even broken." ”
Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "At this time, the entire industrial system of Soviet Russia has collapsed, the economic environment has regressed, and he is already short of people's biological resources, so he is very nervous. ”
Wang Sheng asked in surprise, "Really?"
Zhang Xingming said: "Really. You haven't paid attention to urban construction? Look at the degree of municipal electrification here, we can compare it with the capital, that is, Shanghai, and all kinds of facilities are quite comprehensive and advanced. Look at the retail machines, beverage machines on the street, these are even the Western countries can't reach. Moreover, the degree of socialism in Soviet Russia is quite high, and the welfare of the whole people is ah.
When a child is born, the state has a commissioner who personally attends to congratulate and issue a birth certificate, which is a statutory ceremony, and then the child grows up, and everything is free, including tuition, elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university, including tuition, books, food, accommodation, and medical care, all of which are free. This is not even up to the West.
Usually the people's spare time life is richer, the price is quite cheap, here and ours the price is different, here the things are produced directly on the fixed price, forever unchanged, do you understand the price of direct production of products. He picked up a glass next to him and turned it over, only to see the words 1.1 yuan pressed on the bottom of the cup.
"Almost nothing costs a child from childhood to adulthood, including travel and insurance. After adults participate in work, there are a lot of benefits, cruise ships, airplanes, movies, and Western music that our people can't touch at all, are very common here, and the country vigorously builds houses, and most people's housing conditions here are better than ours, I don't know how many times.
The disadvantage is that the country is built everywhere exactly the same, and the advantage is that you are no stranger everywhere you go, and you can even find another "home" with the same house number, which often happens when you drink too much and return to the wrong home in another city.
Don't look at the way it is now, wait for the evening when you look at it, the neon on the street, and the social welfare here is very good, and the operation of various welfare lotteries is quite mature. Well, you can understand it as a lottery ticket, and you can spend a little change to draw a lottery. ”
At that time, there were no lottery tickets in China, only prize sales organized in various places. In the early 90s, prize sales were booming all over the country, and finally developed from commodities to lottery sales, and then in the mid-90s, lottery tickets were produced.
"Do you know how many cars there are in this country? All citizens can afford cars, and there are nearly a million private cars in Mosco alone, can you imagine it? ”
"Let me tell you this, the quality of life and affluence of ordinary people in Soviet Russia is equivalent to that of civil servants in our better cities in China, or a little higher. Ordinary employees across the country have one month of paid leave per year, free travel, free nursing homes, and free medical system. ”
"If you have time to go out tomorrow, you can go out and see the vending machines, there are mineral water, drinks and carbonated drinks, there is a beverage outlet on the right, and a glass sterilizer on the left, a glass is only a kopeck, do you know how much? On average, it is equivalent to two cents for us. ”
"All kinds of stadiums, entertainment facilities, parks, swimming pools, public transportation, many of them are free, or just spend a little money, if our country wants to reach this level, it will take another ten years at most. Or, twenty years. ”
The room full of people looked at Zhang Xingming with a look of disbelief, and after a long time, Wang Sheng sighed and said, "Damn, it's so awesome? Then why did it suddenly become like this? People can't believe it." ”
