Chapter 261: Spending Power
Not only was he shocked, but even Zhou Xiaoshan's father Zhou Mingxuan and Pan Meifeng's mother Tao Xuexiang were surprised, and Xie Wen, who was manipulating in the kitchen, poked her head out and asked, "What kind of allowance are you talking about?" Is there any new subsidy to be issued in your base area? ”
"Mom! What we are talking about is the special contribution allowance, which is a special reward to thank us for the special contribution we have made in our work. However www.biquge.info the money was not paid from the base, but from the profits made by the commander of his business in Hong Kong. Zhou Xiaoshan gave his mother a literacy lesson.
"The commander is so good, not only for those of you around you, but also for other people?" Xie Wen hurriedly came over and whispered gossipingly, "How much is this money?" ”
"Meifeng and I each have two thousand and a half ...... per month"
"What!"
"So high!"
"Every month?"
The parents on both sides were shocked and cried out.
If it was a one-time deal, or if they were given two and a half thousand per person a year, they would not have made such a fuss. But when he heard that it was a month, everyone couldn't calm down, the tea bowl Zhou Mingxuan was holding was tilted, and the tea was flowing all over the chessboard, and he didn't notice it, still looking at his son with a stunned face.
Pan Jialiang, a rich man, was shocked by Guan Fei's generosity, and the chess pieces in his hand were scattered all over the ground, but he didn't care about it, he just quickly calculated how much the money should be converted into Hong Kong dollars.
16,571 Hong Kong dollars, and 4.3 cents!
He gasped.
"That's too much, isn't it?" He stared at Zhou Xiaoshan and said.
"Dad," Pan Meifeng blamed him for being rare and weird, and said coquettishly, "The commander is a person who does big things, how can he look down on this little money." ”
"Little money! Don't look at your father's monthly income of 1.8 million, and the monthly vegetable money and pocket money for your wife are not so much! When I first came, I robbed your mother's jade bracelet, you are so embarrassed! Give it back! Tao Xuexiang raised her hand hatefully, looked at her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and couldn't find a place to put her hand, so she had to pat her feet lightly and scolded angrily.
Pan Meifeng giggled, kicked her feet around, and hid her hand in Zhou Xiaoshan's arms to prevent her mother from grabbing it.
Pan Jialiang smiled awkwardly and defended himself: "Aren't I going to put it into reproduction?" Besides, looking at the market so well, even if you have a little spare money in your hand, it's a pity not to use it for investment. When I go back, I'll sell the two houses and stocks I received, and I'll give you more. ”
Zhou Xiaoshan smiled slightly: "Parents, we have followed the commander for so many years, from birth to death, and the commander also uses this way as a reward for our loyal subordinates." At the same time, it is also a way to warn everyone: what should be given to us, the commander will definitely give it, but if you shouldn't take it, don't blame him for being ruthless when you stretch out your hand indiscriminately. At first, the money was not so much, but as the business got bigger and bigger, the amount of this special incentive allowance was gradually raised. However, two thousand five thousand people only mentioned this number in the past two months, and as Hong Kong's career gradually grows bigger, it may be even more! ”
"That's just you old men. I heard you say just now, aren't there tens of thousands of people who receive this allowance? Hearing that it was Guan Fei's reward for his loyal subordinates who had been following him, Xie Wen was angry, but as soon as he counted the numbers, he felt that it was wrong, so he asked again.
"At first it was the idea. However, after the rapid development of the base area, many talents were of great help to the base area, and the commander felt that it was good for the family to see it, so he was also included in the scope of this allowance. Up to now, in addition to cadres at and above the section level in civil affairs and commanders at and above the battalion level in the troops, the total number of people receiving this money every month is about 9,000, which is approaching 10,000. The amount of the allowance is not consistent, the lowest grade is 500, the highest is 3,000, and the commander, Political Commissar Zhang, and Deputy Commander Sun only get this number. Nearly 10,000 people, with an average of about 1,000 per person per month, accounting for about 5% of the monthly profits of Hong Kong companies. ”
Pan Meifeng explained to them in detail what this special incentive allowance was all about.
Only then did Pan Jialiang understand why his daughter and son-in-law would return to the base area with peace of mind, it turned out that it was not only for the sake of political future, but also that the actual treatment was no worse than in Hong Kong. If you take into account the consumption levels on both sides, the allowance they receive alone is enough for them to live a truly rich life.
Not to mention the status, the salary is still so high!
Although Pan Jialiang is also a rich man, he can't help but feel slightly jealous of his daughter and son-in-law.
"You tell me honestly, how much money does your kid have a month!" Xie Wen poked her son's head with her fingers, and asked the bottom of the question angrily.
"Me, not counting the special allowance, the normal salary, bonuses, etc. add up to more than 1,000 yuan a month. Meifeng is in the business system, their profits are high, and the money is more than mine, about 145 a month......"
"It's unreasonable! You two little dolls have an income of seven or eight thousand a month. Your father and I have worked hard all our lives, and the total amount of a month is only more than 100 yuan, what kind of world is this! Xie Wen was so angry that she suddenly rolled her eyes and asked, "Xiaoshan, you said that I came with your father, or went to the school to teach, how much money can I get a month?" ”
"Xie Wen!" Zhou Mingxuan said in a low voice.
Pan Meifeng stopped her father-in-law who was about to have a seizure and said with a smile: "It's okay." Dad, Mom asked no questions. In order to retain talents, the base area actually hopes that backbone cadres like us will bring over their families and really put down roots here. So if you two come over, you will definitely be arranged to teach. As long as you work hard, you can earn at least one hundred and fifty or six a month, I'm talking about everyone! If you don't have a skill, you have to be trained. Xiaoshan and I both hope that you can all come over, even if you don't work, you are all so old, it is better to come and enjoy a few more years of Qingfu. There are also Xiaoshan's older brothers and sisters, who have the ability to work, and the labor service department will arrange work, and if they are not able to work, they will also train. ”
"What about me, what about me?" Tao Xuexiang was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she pointed to herself and asked.
"Mom, what else can you do besides playing mahjong? If you don't raise idlers in the base, you can't find anyone if you want to get together a table of mahjong friends. As long as you are a person of appropriate age, you will be forced to study in the technical school of the labor service division if you don't have a job, so ah, I think you still go to the technical school for two years, and there will be a subsidy of 20 yuan per month, by the way, I heard that the subsidy will be mentioned as 30 yuan, and you will have 30 yuan of pocket money every month! Hahaha! Pan Meifeng laughed at her mother, laughed so much that she danced and fell on the sofa.
"You dead girl, my mother really raised you for nothing!" Tao Xuexiang's face was red and white from her laughter, and she scratched her feet a few times angrily, which was considered revenge.
"Okay, okay, the two of them still have to discuss business, let's do whatever we have to do, don't bother them anymore." Zhou Xiaoshan felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, afraid that their mother and daughter would hurt the child in his belly, so he hurriedly dissuaded, "Jialiang, let's continue to play chess." ”
"Good, good!" Pan Jialiang agreed with a smile, cleaned up the scattered chessboard, wiped off the tea, and the two fought again.
"Oh, there's soup in the kitchen!" Xie Wen also hurried back to the kitchen.
Only Tao Xuexiang, sitting alone on the sofa, staring at the TV with only images and no sound, watching with a match, but her ears were pricked up, listening attentively to their conversation.
Zhou Xiaoshan and his wife looked at each other and smiled, ignored them, and continued to discuss the topic just now.
"Generally speaking, in the base areas now, excluding the elderly, teenagers and children, people of working age, except for college students, unemployed personnel trained in technical schools, and conscripts in the army, no one earns less than 30 yuan. Even if they make a living from farming, according to this year's farmland output, their monthly family income can reach six or seven hundred yuan, or more than 100 yuan per capita. If they also engage in family farming, it is possible that the per capita monthly income will reach 200 yuan. ”
"Working on a construction site is almost the same income ......, while the income of self-employed people is uncertain, one or two thousand more, and one or two hundred less." Pan Meifeng also said.
"Yes, if you look at it this way, only young workers who have just entered the factory for less than a year will earn less than 70 yuan. As long as you work hard for two years, salary plus bonus, you can get more than 100 yuan, and there are many people who get two or three hundred. Zhou Xiaoshan added.
"How many people are there in the base now?" Pan Meifeng thought about it and asked.
"It's not accurate, it's increasing every day. Roughly speaking, there will be a net inflow of about 20,000 to 30,000 people every month. After the anti-encirclement war, the number of people increased by 160,000 in half a year, and there were about 100,000 veterans from China, and roughly estimated, there should be about 750,000 now. Zhou Xiaoshan estimated with his impression.
In this way, the real purchasing power may be around forty percent, that is, thirty ...... Ten thousand...... People, are there so many? It's not that I don't know, but I'm scared, Pan Meifeng glared and smacked her tongue and exclaimed.
If there are really so many potential consumers, then the consumption power of the base area is very considerable. Not only the TV is a large item, but other household appliances such as audio, air conditioners, and refrigerators can also be gradually put on sale in the base area.
From this point of view, the base areas have rapidly transformed from a food economy with no hunger as the first priority, to a consumer-oriented society.
"This estimate should be about the same!" Zhou Xiaoshan also gave her an affirmative answer, "Hong Kong's GDP this year is expected to be 160 billion. Our GDP for this year is estimated at $8 billion, which is one-twentieth of that of Hong Kong. Considering that there are no financial means such as the stock market and futures market to expand the scale of the economy, the base area is about one-tenth of that of Hong Kong.
In terms of population, there are more than 5 million people in Hong Kong, and 750,000 in base areas, which is one-seventh of Hong Kong.
Considering the income gap between the two sides, and the number of low-income people with a high base in the base area, it is not surprising that the number of people with a certain amount of spending power has reached 300,000 measured by the economic level of the base area. ”
Pan Meifeng nodded again and again, recognized her husband's judgment, and pressed the calculator: "In this way, the small screen will make less money, and then gradually increase the profit margin." A small fifteen-inch TV is set at 385 yuan; five hundred and nine pieces of seventeen inches; Nineteen inches are sold for eight hundred and forty-three; The largest 21-inch screen must only be affordable by a few people, so they simply set the profit margin to the highest, and the retail price is 1,298! ”
This is certainly not the final pricing, just as a reference.
Solving this problem, she smiled happily: "Okay, that's roughly the pricing strategy." I'll discuss the rest with the others tomorrow and come up with a concrete plan. Oops, I suddenly felt so hungry, Mom, is the soup ready! ”
"Alright, alright, here it is!" Xie Wen answered loudly in the kitchen, and then put on labor gloves, and a steaming casserole was brought out.
"Let's eat!"
"Eat, eat, eat, come back after eating!"
The family was happy and laughed and walked towards the small restaurant.
