I saw that there were several posts in the book review area, which raised questions about the economic system of the book, and I will explain it to you here in a unified manner.

There are about three things in the book that are related to money and don't seem to make sense.

**********

First, 98 years of fishing is really so profitable? A fish sells for twenty or thirty dollars.

Answer: Yes.

The author Jun sold it by fishing himself when he was a child, and the price is very clear. The price of pure wild mullet is indeed very high, seven or eight yuan a catty, even if it is a small fish under 20 cm, it can be sold for 1~2 pieces / piece. One year my mom helped me sell a bucket of small mullet, which was almost a hundred dollars.

Not only wild mullet, wild soft-shelled turtle is more than 100 yuan/catty, wild cauliflower snake, fifty or sixty yuan/catty, all of which have been sold by someone around me personally.

These game, relative to the basic consumer goods of that era, were luxuries.

The second question, the price of Internet cafes, is 8 yuan an hour reasonable?

Let's talk about China's network development.

The popularization of fiber broadband in China began in 2000, before that, many places to access the Internet is dial-up Internet access, the book also mentions that the Internet fee is very expensive, in 1999 in the Internet café an hour eight yuan is not expensive at all, I remember that at that time there was an Internet café was 15 yuan / hour.

After 2000, the cost of Internet access began to plunge and only dropped to the price we are familiar with now a few years later.

(In this way, I said earlier that 8 yuan an hour seems to be low, and when I turn around, it will be changed to 12 yuan.) ☺）

The third point, although no one asked, is still mentioned.

A set of 100 yuan is so expensive, can it be sold in the park?

Referring to those who fooled old men and old ladies into buying health care products in recent years, you know that they are actually very good to sell.

And this plot has real cases for reference, which shouldn't be too outrageous.

Fourth, the issue of the price of traditional Chinese publications.

I can only say that the author's wife has novels published in traditional Chinese, and the way is probably clear.

(Maybe going back to '99, the data is slightly skewed, but it's not a big problem.) ）

**********

Summary:

Many things were expensive at the end of the 90s of the last century, but now they are very cheap, which seems unreasonable, but in fact it is the reason for the development of society.

For example, in the early 90s, the price of a color TV could be repaired in the countryside for half a house, is it reasonable? Now the color TV is only a few thousand yuan, and the cheap one can be bought for more than a thousand.

The answer is reasonable!

There is also a computer,I have a 99 Lenovo computer promotional DM list,The cheapest machine is1.88W,There is also a set of equipment from the installation forum,Netizen installed in 1999 configuration list,The price is 8000 yuan。 Does it make sense? Now there are more than 2,000 computers that can be equipped with one.

Also reasonable!

Therefore, when the author was writing, he still checked the information, and here is a unified explanation for you, and this issue will not be discussed in the future.

Of course, if there is a data error, please understand, it is inevitable that there will be omissions in long-form writing.
