084 How much happiness is a piece of ocean (2)

Every Shanghainese has their own plan for how to spend their money. Some people plan to become financial predators, and most people with little money also plan their own comfortable little life.

Suzhou is very close to Shanghai, and there are some stories that are said to have been arranged by Suzhou people. Shanghainese go to Suzhou to play and enter a big hotel.

"Boss, is there a shortage of hairy crabs?"

The hotel owner nodded:

"Yes, yes, how many just arrived this morning?"

The Shanghai guest asked again:

"Boss, do you have a lack of shark fin?"

The owner of the hotel is attentive and thoughtful:

"Yes, yes, there are wings."

The Shanghainese continued to ask:

"Lack of bird's nest? Lack of abalone? Lack of three-star brandy? ”

The owner of the hotel nodded:

"It's all there."

Shanghainese look at the watch:

"I don't have enough time today, so I will give Allah a bowl of white noodles, coriander, garlic juice, and vinegar to each person, and Allah will add it himself."

White noodles are boiled noodles in white water, and the price is a bowl of copper plates.

This Suzhou pop-up joke arranged by Suzhou people, as well as the version of buying vegetables in the market, asks all the dishes in the vegetable market, and finally asks for a shallot. It has been circulating since the late Qing Dynasty and has been passed down for more than 100 years, probably because this small scene can reflect the broad-mindedness and careful planning of Shanghainese people.

Shanghai is the largest city in China, the center of finance and trade, the political, financial, industrial and commercial, literary and artistic circles, heroes and heroes have come out one after another, no matter how huge the wealth, are accumulated by one copper plate after another. It can also be broken down into copper plates.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a big ocean coin is really as big as a millstone.

Ping An Pharmaceutical Factory, the daily wage for ordinary workers, is an ocean.

Taohuaju,

After Apricot finished eating, she sat alone in the living room, took a thick English-Chinese dictionary, and silently memorized the words in the cold white light of the chandelier.

Outside the courtyard, there was a familiar car horn sounding, and it was the two young masters of the Zhou family who came over, and they had to come once a day.

Apricot got up and planned to go to the eldest lady, but saw that Zhang Meixi had already held on to the stairs and walked down slowly.

Because Apricot was memorizing words alone, she only turned on a chandelier in the corner, and the cold light of the chandelier shone on Zhang Meixi, casting a huge phantom behind her, and the huge black shadow followed her.

Apricot was startled, took a few quick steps, grabbed the eldest lady's shoulders, and led her to sit down on the sofa in the living room. Turned on all the lights in the living room.

Under the bright light, the eldest lady was just a vivid teenage girl, with a thin figure, a little pale face, and a light frown.

Apricot suddenly had a trace of association and realization in her heart, Mr. Shandong is like a huge phantom behind the eldest lady, what will happen when the truth is revealed?

She grabbed the English dictionary in her hand and swore secretly:

"The light can dispel the shadows, but it will never dispel my apricots."

This scene in "The Legend of Zhang Xing, the Head of Ping An" has been widely circulated in later generations. Almost everyone knows it, and it is often remade.

ranked in the top three of the best lines for young people in love to confess.

The two young masters of the Zhou family are wearing plaid suits, woolen coats, hats with melon knots, and white cashmere scarves that have become popular this year.

On Wednesday, the young master turned around and told the little messenger of Taohuaju to make something to eat.

On Tuesday, the young master took off his coat, took off his hat and scarf, and wiped his forehead with a blue striped silk handkerchief:

"The reporters have been a little crazy these days, and they have torn Director Qian's sleeves."

"This year's new popular method in the textile industry, warp and weft with different quality of silk, was first invented by the Oriental Japanese, and I heard that the cost can be saved by 30%." Apricot interface said.

She also thought that Director Qian was wearing clothes made of unsturdy satin, but there were many female students in Huiwen Girls' High School who were concerned about the quality of the fabrics on the market.

"That's irrelevant, Director Qian has always worn Ruifuxiang."

They sat down on the sofa and praised the courage of the reporters, Ping An Pharmaceutical has been in the headlines several times before, but this time the reporters are the craziest, because in the past, they came to grab the news, all to entertain readers, but this time, the salary of ordinary workers in Ping An has exceeded them, which completely touched the nerves.

Zhang Meixi personally poured tea for the two Young Masters Zhou:

"It's hard for you again this time, and this worker's salary must be set like this."

On Tuesday, the young master smiled and calmly drank the tea she poured.

This is a kind of feeling that if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world.

Lao Zhang's family sits on a county in Shandong Prefecture, and every year of famine can ensure a mouthful of porridge and rice for the people. The eldest lady of the Zhang family was in Shanghai, clapping her hands and making a decision, so that there were 3,000 petty bourgeois families in Shanghai at once.

Later, a college student posted a historical paper on the forum, saying:

"Ford Motor in the United States began to implement factory assembly lines in 1914 and workers were paid five dollars a day. The Ping An Pharmaceutical Company, which you have touted so much, only began to pay workers a silver dollar a day in 1925, which is just a trick to cut corners. ”

At the beginning of the 20th century, when the world's economic development relied on industry, Ping An Pharmaceutical Company opened the curtain of the era of large-scale wage increases for workers.

Ping An Pharmaceutical is indeed following the example of Ford in the United States.

Ford's decision "changed American industrial society" and "turned American laborers into a basic middle class."

Ping An Pharmaceutical's decision also began to "transform China's industrial society" and "turn China's ordinary laborers into a basic propertied class." ”

This drastic increase in workers' wages has once again sparked a big discussion in the newspapers.

The "Declaration" praised Ping An Pharmaceutical's move as:

"Great acts of generosity, and merchants began to have the feelings of scholars and doctors who were all over the world."

Commentary by the newspaper NewsReview

"The decision-makers of Ping An Pharmaceutical should be sent to a psychiatric hospital, and Mr. Shandong should be asked to treat them."

Shanghai's most developed industry, the textile industry, is almost overwhelmingly condemned, complaining that Ping An Pharmaceutical has messed up the labor market, and that the textile industry has been particularly sluggish this year, and Ping An Pharmaceutical may even directly urge them to go bankrupt.

The opinion of most intelligent upper-class people is:

"Ping An Pharmaceutical has money, just advertising, which will allow them to quickly recruit the best workers and produce more drugs, and Ping An Pharmaceutical's products have been booked for a few years." What if you don't recruit workers? ”

Zhang Meixi said:

"If Ping An Pharmaceutical can pay a single silver dollar a day, all that money will be spent, and it will make store owners, sellers, manufacturers and workers in other industries richer. The prosperity of workers can create a prosperous market, which in turn will create a more successful enterprise. And if it has always been low-waged, and the industry is so bad that it cannot provide people with a good life, then what is the point of developing industry? ”

Of course she was right, because this is a truth that has been verified in parallel time and space for a hundred years, so in this old time and space, it is just another verification.

Starting with Ping An Pharmaceutical's massive wage raises, a new consumer-based economics sparked a consumer revolution and became one of the reasons that propelled China to become the richest country in the world.

This is too difficult and profound.

But the employees of Ping An Pharmaceutical understand it, because they can earn a silver dollar every day, and this silver dollar buys one small happiness after another.

Thank you for the peace charm given by my dear "sister who doesn't play her ass", touch it, be safe and happy!
