Zhang Qiang is completely stupid... There is no way, he is also a middle-aged man who is married and has children. After all, people in the system always tend to be more stable. Although there are no clear regulations, men who are married and have children are considered to be a symbol of stability.
So even for a unit like the Divine Spear Bureau, the leadership still prefers those with stable families.
Zhang Qiang can sit in the position of the person in charge of the special zone, so he is no exception in this regard.
So he also hides private money, and at the same time he is not rich...even if his salary is very high. But God knows why the cost of supporting a family is so high now, which makes these middle-aged men envious of the young people who have just entered the system...
...how wealthy they are, even if their working years mean that their wages are completely incomparable to those of the elderly, but this thing is relative, their disposable wealth is far greater than that of the poor middle-aged people like them.
Even though their nominal wealth far exceeds that of those young people, they still envy them.
"so……"
"So we're doomed! We're all going to be damn poor! What's even more outrageous is that I've already been poor!" Wang Jianguo said almost groaning.
"Why didn't you stop him? You were obviously right there!" Director Zhang looked at his subordinate angrily.
Comrade Jianguo felt aggrieved: "Please, that's a foreign guest! He just wants to eat something. If I stop him... believe it or not, the higher-ups will tear us apart if they know."
Diplomacy is no small matter. For the people above, the reputation of the Divine Spear Bureau and the country is as big as the sky. They will not consider the actual situation of Director Zhang and others. They only need results...otherwise, what else do they need? Foreign guests eat something.
What happened?!! What happened?!!
You actually blocked us. Do you know what image we will have in front of foreigners after this spreads out?
He was so stingy that he didn’t let the guests eat enough!
In this regard, China is really not as good as those Western countries.
They seem to be civilized, but in fact they don't care about face at all. In fact, these guys can never hide the barbarism in their hearts... In fact, they seem to have never hidden it, they just become more shameless. They massacre, plunder, and deceive.
Packaging has become civilization!
In fact, until now, the white people in the United States have never felt that there was anything wrong with them massacring Indians and taking their land. Yes, they have never repented or reflected. This can be seen from the daily lives of Americans
, they may say a few nice words now, but they still don't feel that they have done anything wrong.
In comparison, Huaxia seems... too moral.
This is certainly not an error.
It's just that this kind of morality may make those Westerners feel a little uncomfortable.
They cannot allow themselves to do anything rude, especially the bigger the matter, because it will make them look embarrassed. Their inner sense of morality makes them look "stupid" in the eyes of Westerners.
Therefore, even though Wang Jianguo knew that Kai's actions would make their situation worse, he never showed any resistance from the beginning to the end. Even though his heart was bleeding...even if his teeth were broken, he would swallow them in his stomach.
Down.
Of course, the more likely idea is to let Director Zhang foot the bill.
There is no way, he is a poor man.
What? Director Zhang is also poor.
What does that have to do with Wang Jianguo? He is not a leader anyway.
Director Zhang obviously saw what his subordinate was thinking. But he really had no other solution. After all, if he really forced Jianguo to pay, he wouldn't have to be a good person in the future.
"Okay...I still have some money on my credit card."
Director Zhang said this through gritted teeth.
Credit cards have to be repaid... and most Chinese people actually don't like to owe money at all. Especially the older ones, they have a sense of moral debt towards owing people money. Director Zhang's credit card... he applied for it privately
, his wife doesn’t know.
You know, middle-aged men’s hobbies are quite expensive.
Zhang Qiang's three major hobbies are smoking, drinking and perming his hair...wrong, he is a civil servant and cannot get involved in this. So his third hobby is fishing.
These three hobbies don’t seem to cost much money.
But in fact this is not the case.
The first is cigarettes. As the saying goes, "A cigarette after a meal makes you as happy as a god." Cigarettes are a must-have for most men. From successful men to rural elderly people, they basically smoke them. The price of cigarettes ranges from 10 to 100 yuan.
No, if a man smokes a pack of 10 yuan cigarettes a day, his annual smoking expense is 3,650 yuan. This is still a conservative estimate!
With Zhang Qiang's social status, even if he doesn't mind smoking ten-dollar cigarettes, he has to give himself face when he goes out. Smoking ten-dollar cigarettes is a bit hard to do... There is no way that all men have to have face.
For example, many people buy 10-yuan cigarettes at home, but whenever they go out they will buy a pack of better cigarettes. Twenty-yuan Lanlou is the minimum standard. For successful men like Director Zhang, 100-yuan is the norm!
In fact, Director Zhang usually carries two packs of cigarettes. Each pack costs 100 yuan to show off, and he smokes them in front of others or takes them loose. The other is his favorite 10-yuan economical and practical cigarettes that he personally carefully selects.
Just cigarette money is a big expense this year.
Then there’s drinking... As the saying goes, smoking and drinking never leave home. Men who smoke basically drink, and men who don’t smoke will also drink some. Moreover, during the holidays, drinking is indispensable. This year, it is also a fortune
Not a small expense!
It still has something to do with social status. Zhang Qiang himself doesn’t mind running out to buy bulk wine. But the problem is that he can’t do it!
The ecology of adults is like this. There are too many things that they need to care about... Of course, if a person's social status reaches a considerable height, he can actually ignore these things. Just like Kai.
Many of his hobbies are widely spread in the United States, and no one would think there is anything wrong with them.
For example, Kai never goes to eat at so-called Michelin restaurants, and even openly mocks the tire makers for not understanding food at all. However, no one has ever made any negative comments about this, but instead thinks that Kai has a really bad temper.
If Kai buys bulk wine, even if the President of the White House comes, he will praise it as a privately customized wine, which is not comparable to those assembly line industrial products.
But it's a pity that Director Zhang is not Kai. If he dares to take out the loose wine while having a meal with his colleagues or leaders, he will just wait to be beaten. Of course, if he adds some medicinal materials to the loose wine, and then tells others about it
Aphrodisiac...that's a different story.
Although Director Zhang is from the Divine Spear Bureau, he is not as particular about this as other leaders in the system, but he also has his own social needs, so the cost of wine is even greater!
At least it's much more than cigarette money.
Finally it was fishing.
In the conventional view of ordinary people, fishing is the most economical and affordable hobby. It is not as harmful to the body as smoking and drinking, and it is not as illegal as perming your head and washing your feet. It is considered a good hobby.
But in fact, people who can say such things should not fish.
Fishing really costs money!
I didn’t expect it! Fishing is still a money-making game.
It is said that a complete fishing activity requires the use of at least 10 pieces of equipment, including fishing rods, fishing lines, fish hooks, bait, nets for fishing, fish protection for temporary breeding, fishing chairs, parasols, quick-drying
Sun protection clothing, fishing box... and "fishing guys" also have a stubborn subconscious: "If you can't catch fish, the equipment must be wrong." Therefore, there is also a popular self-deprecation in the circle: "Fishing in Taiwan ruins a life, and fishing with lures will ruin three generations."
Can you believe that the annual fishing expenses may be as high as tens of thousands of dollars? For people who don’t fish, this sounds almost like a joke. Isn’t it just sitting by the river with a fishing rod and fishing? How can it be possible to spend so much money?
, where does the money go? In fact, this is not a joke. If you cannot control your passion for fishing, this hobby may indeed become quite serious.
Expensive. Some people think that the main expense for fishing is the fishing rod. A good-quality fishing rod is worth hundreds or even thousands of yuan, and anglers usually own more than one fishing rod, which is undoubtedly a big expense. However, even if it is frequent
It is difficult to spend tens of thousands of yuan a year on buying fishing rods. The real money-burning aspect of fishing lies in other aspects. Let’s find out below.
The first place where fishing costs money: bait money.
Fishing supplies can be divided into long-term supplies and consumables. Long-term supplies are those items that can be used for a long time and do not need to be replaced frequently. Although fishing rods are more expensive when purchased, they can usually be used for a long time. If they are not damaged, they can be used for several years.
No problem. Consumables are different. They are consumed every time you fish and are used once. You need to buy them again after use. Bait
Nest materials are one-time consumables. Although a pack of bait only costs a few yuan, it is used in large quantities and the cumulative cost is considerable. As for nest materials, the consumption is even greater. Some fishing friends will use several dollars every time they fish.
Basin materials cost at least tens or even hundreds of yuan each time. In comparison, the cost of buying fishing rods pales in comparison to bait and nest materials.
The second way to spend money on fishing: ticket money.
Fishing requires fish to catch, but wild fishing resources are not abundant in many places. For fishing enthusiasts, not having fish to catch is more uncomfortable than not having food to eat. To solve this problem, many places have opened fishing grounds for a fee.
It is the so-called black pit, which specially raises fish for people to fish. Fishing in black pit is not free, because the owner needs to make money, and it is impossible to provide fish for you to catch for free, so you need to pay a ticket for fishing. The ticket price depends on the species of fish and fishing time.
Depending on the situation, a small recreational fish pond may cost tens to a hundred yuan, and a large one may cost thousands of yuan.
In addition, Heikeng has a fish return policy, which can meet the needs of fishing friends and at the same time, the extra fish caught can also be exchanged for money. Some people go fishing in Heikeng not only for entertainment, but also to make money.
The expenses can easily run into thousands or even tens of thousands.
The third place where fishing costs money: car gas money.
Although the car is a means of transportation and seems to have nothing to do with fishing, nowadays most fishing is inseparable from the car. The fishing location may be dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away, and it is obviously impossible to go there by bicycle or on foot, otherwise it will be dark when you arrive at the destination.
The cost of gas for a car accounts for about half of the total fishing expenses. Especially those who like to travel far for fishing often travel to other cities or even other places.
Going fishing in the provinces requires a lot of fuel for a round trip of several hundred kilometers. The current price of oil is about 8 yuan per liter, and the farther the fishing trip, the higher the cost. In addition to fuel costs, there are also tolls on the road. The two add up.
The expense of buying fishing rods is simply not worth mentioning. Some fishing friends I know have calculated that just driving out for fishing for a year costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in gas expenses and tolls.
Of course, if your skills are poor and you become an equipment party, you will spend more money.
Director Zhang is the equipment party... This guy can't go fishing in black pits. His profession does not allow him to expose his hobby, so he can only go in the wild, deep mountains and old forests, or places where no one can go, so the bait money
And equipment money is the big part.
What to do if you can’t catch fish?
Crazy nesting!
What should I do if I still can’t catch the fish?
The equipment must not be good enough, so I am buying equipment like crazy!
This is very expensive. Sometimes pocket money and private money will inevitably be stretched thin, so it is necessary to apply for a credit card for turnover.
But in this case, his boom and lures cannot be replaced!
His heart is bleeding!
…
In comparison, Kai is much more relaxed.
Although he didn't remember it until he entered the temple, he didn't pay.
But it's not a big deal. After all, the people from the Divine Spear Bureau are there, and they are not afraid that the boss will be evaded. On this point, the credibility of the Huaxia organization is still very strong. After all, it is not personal spending anyway... Kai did not expect that Tangtang
The entertainment fee standards of the Divine Spear Bureau will be so low.
Of course, this is a matter of Kai's neglect of the attributes of the Divine Spear Bureau.
First of all, it is a secret unit, and its confidentiality attribute is very strong. In this way, the expenses they spend on entertainment are much less. After all, they do not need so many relationship maintenance needs, and they can just use their power directly when they need it.
The following units did not refuse.
The relationship that really needs to be maintained is also at the upper level...at that level, there is no need to entertain at all.
The bosses are all very busy. Who the hell has time to attend your reception?
Secondly, the Divine Spear Bureau actually does not have much diplomatic attributes. The Divine Spear Bureau rarely contacts external parties.
Therefore, their entertainment standards are not high and their funds are very small.
In addition, there have been too many things going on recently, and a lot of energy from the Divine Spear Bureau has been devoted to maintaining stability. This energy includes the budget!
The budget was spent on action.
Naturally, other messy budgets will be cut.
It's almost the end of the year, and the Divine Spear Bureau doesn't have much redundancy anymore.
So Kai really didn't expect that these people would need to pay privately... In addition, Kai has always changed. The old Kai would never do that kind of thing, even if he wanted to taste the delicacies in previous Hong Kong movies.
, and I’m not very good at ordering things like dragontail, abalone, and shark’s fin.
It's not like Kai has never been on a business trip before, and he has also been entertained by his brothers' units...but at that time, he didn't have such a thick skin and insisted on ordering expensive things.
In fact, guests rarely take the initiative to order dishes. They are all ordered by local brothers. They will try their best to order the best dishes to entertain. This is propriety and politeness!
This is true for both guests and guests.
One tries to be restrained and the other tries to give the best.
