After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 143 Gold is not as good as Maotai
In fact, there is no shortage of gold in Tong Jia's space. No matter whether it is the ones she moved from the Beautiful Country before she transmigrated into the book, or the ones Tao Junle exchanged when he left the Beautiful Country, she will never lack them in several lifetimes.
The reason why people want to exchange money for gold is actually because they are worried about currency depreciation in the future.
After experiencing the sharp rise in gold prices in her previous life, she felt that collecting anything was not safe and was not as good as gold.
Gold not only maintains its value for a long time, but is also easier to identify than antiques and calligraphy and paintings. The more you collect, the heavier it is.
Most people can't move it away, so it's much more theft-proof than antiques and paintings.
Qin Hanyi is also good at liberal arts, but not good at finance and financial management.
Otherwise, he would not have found a reason to hand over the family's financial power to his five-year-old daughter.
To put it nicely, it was to make her daughter independent sooner, but in fact, she was worried that if the money was in her hands, she would not be able to control herself and would spend it all.
Since this was said by Tao Junle, his grandfather and father were both businessmen, and he himself entered the stock trading market at a young age, then his vision must be correct.
Therefore, Qin Hanyi had no objection to Tong Jia's words.
However, she raised a question: "But when you go to a bank to exchange foreign currency, you need to register your name, but when you go to exchange gold, you don't need to register, right?
You are too young to exchange.
When I go to exchange it, I will definitely let the people at work know.
Once people knew we had so much gold, we would never have a peaceful life together."
Tong Jia said, "Neither of us will go. We'll just talk to Tao Junle about this tonight. Once he's done with his stuff, we'll have him go someday. Just give him a random name. No one knows him anyway."
Thanks to the fact that there are no ID cards yet and banks do not have a real-name system, one can open an account with just a code. This is why Tao Junle, who is unknown to anyone, has this "privilege".
After hearing Tong Jia's arrangement, Qin Hanyi also felt that there was no more suitable arrangement than this.
She also said generously: "In this matter, we can't let others help us for nothing.
Tell him we'll give him errand money, and tell him how much he wants. I'll agree to it."
Tong Jia said, "Oh, Tao Junle is still thinking about eating at our house in the future, so there is no way he would ask for errand fees.
If you bring it up, he'll think you're being distant, and it might even make the relationship awkward."
Qin Hanyi was not a pretentious person, so she thought about making more of Tao Junle's favorite food in the future.
As he was thinking, he suddenly thought of a question. He gently patted Tong Jia's forehead and asked, "Xiao Tao is ten years older than you, right? Why don't you call him brother? Why do you call him by his full name?"
That's so rude!"
Tong Jia said, "Mom, it's not that I'm rude, it's him... He was born in the United States, and he said that people abroad, regardless of age, call each other by their first names, so that's why he asked me to call him that.
He's already asked for this, so if I still call him brother, wouldn't that mean I'm not taking his words seriously?"
Qin Hanyi recalled that when Tong Jia called Tao Junle's full name directly, the young man did not seem unhappy. Instead, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fine!
There are different styles in Shili, and different customs in Baili.
Since it was Tao Junle's request, I should not interfere in the issue of the title.
But in fact, there is only one real reason, that is, Tong Jia cannot say the word "brother".
It’s not that I can’t pronounce “brother”, but there is no way to apply this title to Tao Junle.
Tao Junle wanted to wait for Tong Jia to grow up so as to make up for the regrets of his previous life. Before Tong Jia grew up, he didn't want to hear Tong Jia call him brother. It was as if he was back to the days when he called Tong Jia sister.
It’s better to call him by his full name, so that he can feel that he is finally equal to Tong Jia.
After lunch, Qin Hanyi wanted to take the dishes out to wash them, but Tong Jia put them directly into the RV.
He explained to Qin Hanyi, "Mom, we didn't cook lunch, and you didn't bring a lunch box when you came back from outside. How can you wash the dishes now?
I'll put it away first and wash it when I have a chance."
Qin Hanyi wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "You're right. When I come back in the afternoon, you can take it out and I'll wash it.
Okay, I'm going to the machine tool factory now.
You must not have slept well last night, go upstairs and get some sleep."
Tong Jia nodded, and after Qin Hanyi left, she put on some very obvious makeup that made her look pale and unhealthy. Then, she suppressed her urge to jump and walked step by step towards the bank, supply and marketing cooperative and department store.
After strolling for two or three hours, Tong Jia returned home and no longer felt that gold was the most valuable collection in her heart.
The current prices of white rice at 1.2 yuan per pound, wheat flour at 1.6 yuan per pound, and gold at 20 yuan per gram are used as standards.
Tong Jia tried hard to recall what the prices were when she went to the supermarket to buy rice and flour before the mudslide.
A 2.5 kg bag of wheat flour costs yuan, which means one pound of wheat flour costs about three yuan.
The price of rice varies greatly, some are expensive and some are cheap. The one she buys most is a bag of 39.95 kilograms, which is about four yuan per kilogram.
At that time, the price of gold per gram fluctuated between 590 and 650, and occasionally it would reach .
If you think about it this way, based on the price of rice, the current price of gold is actually higher than the price before the mudslide, exceeding six hundred and fifty.
However, based on the price of wheat flour, the current gold price is very reasonable, only more than half of the price before the mudslide.
In addition, on the way back, I read in the newspaper that the average annual salary in Beijing this year is 528, which is 44 yuan a month, enough to buy a little more than two grams of gold.
Before the mudslide, the average salary in the small county where he lived was 1,800 yuan, which was equivalent to a little more than two or three grams of gold.
No matter how Tong Jia calculated, she felt that it was not cost-effective to exchange money for gold now.
Just when she was feeling frustrated that the financial management method she had been thinking about for a long time was not practical, she saw a ray of hope in the department store.
That is Moutai.
She went to the department store and the wine and sugar station to look, and the price was the same, two yuan and ninety-seven cents a bottle, less than three yuan.
But later, this Moutai with golden gears, wheat ears and red five-star was worth more than 200,000 yuan per bottle.
After doing the math, Tong Jia's eyes lit up as he looked at the bottles of Moutai on the window counter.
But after asking the salesperson, her mood became depressed again.
Whether it is a sugar and wine station or a department store, you need more than just money to buy Moutai.
A liquor ticket is required at the sugar and wine station, but no ticket is required at the department store, but an identity certificate is required, that is, proof that the buyer is an adult.
There was no need to think about proving her identity. Among her, Tao Junle and Qin Hanyi, only Qin Hanyi was an adult, so neither she nor Tao Junle was qualified to make the purchase.
Without a ticket, one person can only buy two bottles.
Even if your company issues you a letter of introduction, you can only buy one box at most.
If you want more, you’ll have to use connections.
After Tong Jia returned home, she took out all the tickets in her home from the space. Unfortunately, there were only three liquor tickets.
With my current height, even if I go to buy it with a ticket and money, the salesperson won’t sell it to me.
She could only wait for Qin Hanyi to come back home.
As she waited, she fell asleep.
And what about Qin Hanyi?
She spent almost the entire afternoon waiting.
As soon as the machine tool factory opened in the afternoon, she found Secretary Li and told him the purpose of her visit straight away.
Secretary Li was in a difficult situation, but he had to solve the problem.
To this end, he convened a meeting of all the factory leaders to discuss the request raised by Qin Hanyi.
In fact, no one had any objection to Qin Hanyi's desire to receive the pension in advance. This had happened before, and there were corresponding standards in the factory's rules and regulations.
That is, children will be calculated based on the number of years they have lived before reaching adulthood, while parents and wives will receive a one-time pension of six to ten years' salary in proportion to their positions and contributions.
What really gives everyone a headache is the issue of positions.
Because Tong Jia was a young girl, and Qin Hanyi had a job, what about the Tong family? They didn't understand the succession policy, which gave the factory a loophole.
It’s the loophole between Tong Si and his position.
No one in the Tong family suggested whether to keep Tong Jia's job or sell it, so the factory used the job to make a contribution.
Just two days after Qin Hanyi and Tong Jia moved out of the machine tool factory, the small house they had lived in and the position in the machine tool factory were assigned to a hero who had made great contributions.
The positions have been allocated, and the people were transferred here in a reasonable, legal and compliant manner, and were also actively sought after by their machine tool factory.
Now there is no way to ask people for money to buy jobs.
But Qin Hanyi's reason was also very legitimate, to cure the child's illness and get rid of the root of the disease.
The leaders present here are also parents, and they all understand the willingness of parents to spend all their money for their children.
I can't talk to the new technician, nor can I directly reject Qin Hanyi's request. There are no extra positions available for people to buy at the moment.
Everyone in the room had a terrible headache.
The final decision was: send someone to discuss the position issue with Qin Hanyi first.
The current price of selling a job is about two years' salary for the corresponding job.
Tong Sihe’s salary is too high, basically three thousand yuan for two years.
The leaders didn’t want to and couldn’t ask the new technicians for money, so they could only raise the money themselves.
Therefore, the main thing they wanted to discuss with Qin Hanyi was that they hoped Qin Hanyi would agree to lower the standards for Tong Sihe's position, not according to his actual salary standards, but according to the minimum wage of 36 yuan per month for regular workers in the factory.
In this way, the leaders in the conference room only need to pay more than 70 yuan each, and everyone can afford it.
The meeting lasted for more than three hours. It was not until the end of the get off work day that Secretary Li, Section Chief Chen and Director Wang came forward to tell Qin Hanyi the final decision of the machine tool factory.
After listening to Secretary Li's embarrassed explanation of the situation, Qin Hanyi was silent for a long time.
Then she said, “Secretary Li, Section Chief Chen, Director Wang, I understand your difficulties.
But I also hope you can understand my heart as a mother.
If our family’s previous savings hadn’t been lost, I would never have brought this up with you.
but……
I asked someone and was told that each pill costs several hundred yuan and needs to be taken three times a day along with appropriate dietary supplements.
Without ten thousand dollars, there is no way to get down.
This does not include the transportation, accommodation and food expenses for my mother and I on our way from Beijing to Guangdong Province.
Of course, what I mean is that the leaders must not be asked to pay for it personally.
Can we do this? In addition to Grandma Jiajia's pension, you can continue to remit the money to her as before.
Jia Jia and I took it out at once.
Jia Jia's share will be based on her actual age, and mine will be based on the longest term, ten years. Can you give it to me?
I don't want the salary for the position anymore. I'll write you a statement saying that in order to thank the factory leaders for their care over the years, I voluntarily return this position to the factory without taking a penny. Is that okay?"
Is it possible? That would be fantastic.
None of them dared to mention this before, for fear that Qin Hanyi would cry to them and they would be unable to handle the situation.
I didn't expect that although Qin Hanyi is a lesbian, she is so wise and righteous.
When she told the result to other leaders in the factory, everyone gave her a thumbs up and praised her.
Since it was too late today and get off work had already ended, Qin Hanyi was asked to come back early tomorrow morning to get the money. He was also asked to let the factory know if she had any difficulties and the factory would definitely help solve them as long as it could.
After Qin Hanyi returned home with a good reputation, he saw Tong Jia sleeping on the ladder.
She originally wanted to carry Tong Jia to her bed to continue sleeping, but as soon as she picked her up, Tong Jia woke up.
Tong Jia's dreams were filled with thoughts about how she could buy more bottles of Moutai. Almost as soon as she opened her eyes and saw Qin Hanyi, she asked, "Mom, do you know how I can get as many liquor tickets as possible?"
Qin Hanyi was stunned by his question.
Qin Hanyi didn't understand what it meant, but Tong Jia was completely awake.
She asked Qin Hanyi to put her down, and then pulled Tao Junle out as a shield.
He explained: "Tao Junle asked me to look at the price of gold and basic food here. He calculated that if I exchanged all the money for gold, it might not be cost-effective.
You can exchange some and keep some.
If you have money, you can buy liquor, especially Moutai.
He said it's very expensive abroad. I went to the department store and saw that a bottle cost less than three dollars, but you need a wine ticket.
Mom, do you have any way to get a wine ticket?"
Qin Hanyi thought for a moment and said, "I know people at the department store and the sugar and wine station. I can get wine tickets. Three or five should be no problem, but if I get more, it won't work.
They also have their own systems. You are making it difficult for them. How can you get along with them in the future?
but……"
Qin Hanyi thought of Secretary Li's polite words when he left the machine tool factory.
Since the leader has said so, there is no need to pretend that there are no difficulties.
So, she decided to ask Secretary Li if he could help solve this problem when she went to the machine tool factory to get the money tomorrow.
