Chapter 454 (1/2)
”It's all right, Camille. It's just an unintentional loss.”
Turning his head and smiling at Taylor and Joanna, Zheng Jianguo made a round for Camille. Joanna's words made him feel the unprecedented ironing. When he heard the self mockery behind his words, he gave him a hug at the same time.
From this, we can judge that the girl's human accident and intelligence are definitely not comparable to Camille. Zheng Jianguo smiled at her: ”Camille, heaven is just an intention word in my opinion. In faith, it represents the place where the obedient goes, just like the underground where the rebellious goes, which means the destination of people after death. If there is a world after death.”
”Zheng, this is not a good topic -”
Taylor quickly interrupted Zheng Jianguo's words. The latter nodded like waking up: ”sorry, I think it's late now. Let's go to the hotel in front and think about what to eat?”
”Ha, the matchmaker here is delicious. You must try shrimp and tenderloin.”
Seeing the misunderstanding solved, Zhu Hong quickly opened her mouth to support it, so several people went west along the stone square.
Since Zheng Jianguo himself has never been here, he has experienced the feelings of the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty all the way. He just doesn't know whether he has no money or doesn't remember. Mottled marks can be seen on most doors and windows. Only when he enters the Tingli Restaurant restaurant, he is as clean as the imitation restaurant.
”Jianguo, several private rooms are full. Let's eat in the hall, separated by a screen -”
When Hao Yun, who arrived one step ahead, found him, Zheng Jianguo looked at Taylor and Bruce: ”let's make do outside?”
”Eat, there are many people, just outside.”
Bruce understood what Hao Yun was saying. After he spoke, he said, and the smile on his face couldn't stop: ”the location here is very scarce. You should book in advance for dinner in the evening, whether it's the hall or private room.”
”OK, let's take a seat first.”
Seeing that no one objected, Hao Yun turned around and arranged. Zheng Jianguo greeted everyone into the longevity hall. Under the arrangement of the waiter, they came to the table. It didn't take long to finish their washing. Because they didn't drink, the meal ended less than 13 o'clock. The matchmaker recommended by Zhu Hong praised Camille: ”isn't this dish cheap?”
”The meals here are complete sets. The cheapest meal for four people also costs 70 or 80 yuan, and there are more than 20 yuan for a single set meal. The dishes here are not only sold.”
Zhu Hong obviously came often. Camille, who had asked about the exchange rate before coming, nodded: ”it's really not cheap -”
”Camille, you're wrong. A meal here is a little expensive for us, but it can be a luxury for people here. It's like eating Australian king crab on Fifth Avenue. It takes half a month's salary. Oh, I'm talking about the salary of ordinary Americans, not you and Zheng -”
He explained to Camille with a smile. After Zhu Hong finished, he looked at Zheng Jianguo next to him. When he found that he was nothing different, he smiled again: ”you two are different from us.”
”Zheng, is the per capita income really so low here?”
Hearing that the cheapest meal here would eat half a month's salary of ordinary people, Camille looked at Zheng Jianguo curiously and didn't want Taylor next to say, ”Camille --”
”Yes, the average per capita monthly income in the Republic is now 30 or 40 yuan, but this money can feed the whole family. If it will live, there will be a little surplus. The cost of living here is very low.”
Of course, Zheng Jianguo knows that the reason why Bruce and Zhu Hong eat so expensive is because the state has specially set standards for them. The personal package in foreign-related hotels is arranged for them.
The starting price is more than ten yuan, and their RMB is converted according to the official exchange rate, so even they can't afford it.
The per capita pre tax income of the United States is 1300 yuan. If the tax rate is removed and converted into RMB according to the official exchange rate, it will be less than 1500 yuan. Think about 50 yuan for a meal a day?
Thinking of this, Zheng Jianguo also felt that those foreign-related hotels were a little black, although there were chicken and fish.
Of course, for Bruce, his monthly pre tax income is less than 5000 yuan and his daughter-in-law is less than 3000 yuan. They both spend more than 2000 yuan a month alone.
It seems that you can save about 6000, but you can remove the personal income tax, the mortgage to be repaid, and the education expenses of the two children. If you didn't make some money with Zheng Jianguo's investment before, it's also the rhythm of tightening your belt.
Therefore, when hearing Zheng Jianguo's boasting that the cost of living was very low, Bruce still couldn't resist the MMP: ”Zheng, the cost of living of ordinary people is very low. Where we go to eat is more than ten yuan per person. This money is enough for the whole family of ordinary people in the capital for half a month.”
”Ha, if you want to eat well, you must spend more. You ask Camille and Joanna that the breakfast we had in the morning was less than 50 yuan.”
Of course, Zheng Jianguo knew the arrangement of foreign-related hotels for these foreigners, which was almost the concept of silly money in previous life and later generations. So he smiled at the two women next to him and said that Bruce and Zhu Hong widened their eyes in an instant: ”you three spent less than 50 cents?”
”Yes, we didn't go to the restaurant. We ate at the roadside store. Zheng gave us what seemed to be a 5 -”
Zheng Jianguo didn't avoid Camille and Joanna when giving money, but the two women didn't pay attention to the money at that time. At that time, he was in a hurry to leave, but both of them had seen his thick crocodile skin wallet.
”Oh, where is that shop? We're going to eat in the morning -- ”
When Zhu Hong immediately opened her mouth and looked at Zheng Jianguo, the latter thought about it, pointed to Hao Yun next to her, and said in Mandarin: ”if you want something cheaper, just let Hao Yun take you to find it.”
”OK, I'll trouble you, Mr. good luck.”
When Bruce held out his hand to Hao Yun quickly, Zheng Jianguo laughed: ”they want to eat some affordable food. The previous consumption was too high, and it was not easy for them to make money.”
”Yes, it's not easy for us to make money -”
Glancing sideways at Hao Yun, Zhu Hong is certainly no stranger to him. He knows that he is Zheng Jianguo's high school classmate, and it can be analyzed from the old John next to him. This should be Zheng Jianguo's big housekeeper in China: ”a meal of more than ten yuan is really expensive.”
”Well, since even you said it was expensive, what would you like to eat that night? Let's go and have some?”
Feeling the resentment of the two people about eating, Zheng Jianguo took the posture of a landlord. Of course, it was the landlord of the friendship of the landlord: ”there are roast duck and whole sheep banquet below. Haven't you eaten it?”
