Chapter 285: Application for Resident Card
The next morning, after Chen Yuanyuan woke up, he met with the others, and after having breakfast in He Yuehua and Grandma He's room, he packed his luggage and went to the lobby to check out.
After checking out, I saw a stall in the lobby, which said welcome to Xiangcheng compatriots.
Unexpectedly, Yuecheng still took care of the people from Xiangcheng, and a few people walked to the stall.
"Good morning, sir, miss, are you new residents from Xiangcheng?" One of the female staff members at the reception asked.
"Yes, where can I go through the settlement procedures?" Liu Feiyang asked.
"The whole process is very simple, just go to the reception to submit the documents and then go through some formalities, these are welcome gifts for you." The female clerk took five eco-friendly bags and handed them to several people.
"Thanks, do we need to pay the settlement fee?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
I remember that in the previous life, everyone who joined the base also had to pay 500 points worth of materials first, and they also had to pay a certain amount of taxes every month.
"Every resident who joins also has to pay a settlement fee, but because you are an invitee to the QMAS program, you are not exempt, but in the future, you will also be charged a monthly tax based on factors such as your occupation, income and community level, and there will be documents for your reference at that time." The female clerk said.
"Okay, thank you, where is the reception location?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Walk to the right for about seven minutes after leaving the hotel, and I'll ask the volunteers to take you to the reception." The female clerk said that, and called the boy on the side to come over.
The boy was wearing a thick jacket and looked very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Xukang, just call me Akang." Zhang Xukang greeted several people.
Zhang Xukang walked outside with a few people, the weather was not very good today, the cold wind and snow made his face hurt, Chen Yuanyuan immediately pulled the wind shield on his face.
"Come here, I'll drive you there." Zhang Xukang took everyone to the sightseeing car on the side, only to see that he inserted his resident card into the card slot in front of the driver's seat, and the sightseeing car turned on.
Although the sightseeing bus only has a roof and does not block the wind, it does not have to walk in the cold wind, and the 8 seats are quite spacious to sit on.
Arriving at the reception, there were also more than a dozen new residents of Xiangcheng who were registering and waiting, and there were also faces in the crowd that they had seen yesterday, but no one they knew.
Zhang Xukang guided everyone to submit the settlement documents they took at the gate.
When he was in Xiangcheng, Locke had already submitted the application form for them, checked their personal information, and entered their fingerprints, took photos and signed them under the guidance of the staff.
While waiting for the production of the resident card, Chen Yuanyuan chatted with Zhang Xukang.
It turned out that Zhang Xukang's father was a soldier stationed at the base, and his mother worked in the hospital, so he usually worked as a volunteer to earn some pocket money.
"There's a subsidy of 10 points an hour, it's not much, but it's too boring to stay at home." Zhang Xukang said.
The points in the base are about the same as the pre-apocalyptic currency, and most jobs pay between 30 and 50 points per hour.
However, due to the shortage of materials, prices will be slightly adjusted every day, but under the official control, they can basically be fed and clothed.
Chen Yuanyuan asked for some details, and Zhang Xukang showed them the Yuechengtong app on their mobile phones.
Not only can it be used as a daily contact, but also you can check the balance and details of points.
In addition to some living expenses, water, electricity, car rental, etc. are also deducted immediately, Chen Yuanyuan noticed that renting a sightseeing car just now also cost him two points, so he secretly wrote it down.
There are also different mini-programs in Yuechengtong, such as daily prices, appointment services, medical records, official notices, rule of law regulations, application tasks, etc.
It feels a bit like a simplified version of a certain Fubao, Yuecheng is really a city of science and technology, and it has made such a perfect system in the end of the world.
"If you want to transfer points to others, you can just use Yuecheng Pass?" Chen Yuanyuan remembered that the materials sold to the research institute when she was in Xiangcheng were all recorded in her name, and she also gave points to others at that time.
"In order to avoid gambling problems, each person has a daily limit of 100 points, if the transaction is less than 1,000, the mobile phone has NFC function to shoot the card face-to-face, if it is more than 1,000 and less than 10,000, it will be operated in the machine." Zhang Xukang pointed to the recharge machine that looked like a subway station on the side.
"What if it's bigger?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"No matter how large the amount is, you have to go manually, but there are very few large-value transactions, because I don't want to get the gap between the rich and the poor in the base is too serious, and the handling fee for large-value transactions can be high." Zhang Xukang said.
Zhang Xukang clicked on the handling fee introduction, there is no charge for transfers below 1,000 per day, but after the total amount exceeds 10,000, a handling fee of 5% will be charged, and more than 100,000 is as high as 20%.
"Then you can't buy a lot of money?" Zhang Linlin said.
"This is a personal collection, if it is an official only stamp duty, and store transactions will be deducted from the merchant." Zhang Xukang said.
"Will the house be expensive?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"I don't know, my family lives in a military dormitory, and you seem to be able to live in the transit room for three months rent-free," Zhang Xukang stopped when he wanted to speak.
"Isn't it good over there in the transit room?" Although Chen Yuanyuan didn't plan to live in a transfer room, he was also curious about Zhang Xukang's reaction.
"The transfer house is close to the second phase of the residence, and it is very convenient to move there after the second phase of Xiangcheng District is built, but next to it is the incineration area and sewage treatment place, and it is good that there are fewer people now, and there may be some peculiar smell when there are more people in the future." Zhang Xukang said.
Zhang Xukang didn't know much about buying a house, but he only knew that he had to go to the office building to buy.
He Yuehua borrowed Zhang Xukang's mobile phone to look at various taxes.
"It's complicated." He Yuehua looked at the tax list and said.
Income tax, business tax, consumption tax, stamp duty, etc., are dazzling.
"It's okay, there is still a certain amount of tax allowance per person per month, so that ordinary people can live well." Zhang Xukang said.
Chen Yuanyuan remembered that in the previous life, the Yuecheng base had not been so finely made, and basically the taxes were uniform, but he didn't expect that in this life it would be arranged decently.
A few people looked at the prices in Yuechengtong again, and each material also had a buying and selling price, with a slight difference in the middle.
And the materials are limited, eliminating the problem of being monopolized, but there are still very few materials on the shelves, probably because new residents have not officially moved in.
"Chen Yuanyuan, He Yuehua, Xu Zhaodi, please go to window No. 3." Seeing that the machine called out the names of several people, they got up and went over together.
"It turns out that you are Grandma Xu, and we have always called you Grandma He." Zhang Linlin said.
"Hey, my mother's family used to be too patriarchal, and she didn't care about me when she got married, so it's better to call me Grandma He." As soon as Grandma He heard Zhao Di's name, her brows were furrowed and she was about to kill a fly.
Grandma He's original family is still Zhaodi, Pandi, Laidi, and Niandi, so for her, the original family basically doesn't want to go back.
