The end of August and the beginning of September are the beginning of autumn.
Gold nine silver ten.
At first, this statement seemed to be related to farming, talking about the farmer's uncle's good harvest, but the first time Qin Ren heard it was at work, in the real estate industry where he worked.
Does this mean work is about to get busy?
Do we have to work overtime until three or four in the morning for one or two consecutive months like we did in June?
the answer is negative.
Because in this year’s Golden Nine and Silver Ten, many policies have been implemented one after another. In the words of the company boss, real estate, including design institutes focusing on real estate, has ushered in a cold winter for the industry.
"Okay!" When the company was having lunch, Qin Ren, who learned the news, immediately slapped the table and cheered.
"What a hammer!"
Zhou Chi had a frown on his face. Yun Wanhe and other department heads had just gone to the office for a meeting. In the afternoon, they would definitely talk to the department members one by one to discuss lowering the bonus.
"Brother Chi, I can only say that you are too small."
Qin Ren is very well-organized. Although he is currently engaged in real estate, he still hopes that the current real estate industry will die soon. If he is engaged in public construction in the future, he cannot starve to death.
"We'll discuss the structure later. The problem is that the money I spend on rent now refers to my next bonus."
"Then you deserve it. Stop buying Huabei as soon as possible. The temptation of excessive consumption is too great for you to grasp."
Huabei depends on who uses it, and those who have control can use as much as they can repay. Zhou Chi uses up the quota with all kinds of calculations, and then repays it in installments and other things, and the profits are rolled over, and finally it becomes the ultimate moonlight.
When I first started working, I felt that I was financially independent and had no concept of spending money. Looking back now, I actually had too much unnecessary consumption. Zhou Chi fell into a consumption trap. All kinds of fake and exquisite marketing made him just buy Nike.
The shoes cost tens of thousands.
There are also fitness cards and swimming cards. I don’t know how Zhou Chi was deceived by others, but they just bought several thousand each.
The result can be imagined. Given the poor nature of working overtime in this industry, Zhou Chi asked the coach if he could take a break as soon as he went there once or twice. Then he took a break for more than half a year, and the two cards became a display.
In the end, when I think about it, all the money spent was really more unfair than the last.
It is impossible to save money. I can only wait for my salary to be paid on the 5th of every month and then fill in the hole.
"Start saving money today!" Zhou Chi didn't know how many times he made up his mind.
"Then you still play games?" Qin Ren pointedly pointed out the bulk of Zhou Chi's monthly expenses.
"I can't stop playing games, it's my spiritual support."
“Are mobile games that fun?”
"Is not fun."
Zhou Chi’s eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life:
"I have never rated this game before when I play mobile games. Can you guess the reason?"
"Because you're lazy?" Qin Ren took a piece of beef from Zhou Chi's takeout box.
"That's only part of the reason." Zhou Chi took back a piece of chicken from Qin Ren's takeout box to compensate.
"Another part of the reason is that I never think games that require money to play are fun. If you already have money to play, why are you still talking about whether they are fun or not? All games that cost money are rubbish."
"Then you still play?"
"So, it's just a spiritual support... Maybe this statement is a bit exaggerated, but that's what it means anyway, do you understand?"
"Well……"
Qin Ren might be able to understand, but he himself has never played krypton gold games, so he can't put himself in Zhou Chi's shoes and feel the same way.
"When I was studying, there was an old joke about middle-aged uncles spending money on legendary browser games. Recharging was only for a handful of data. Now I can understand their feelings. To put it bluntly, I just want to find something other than work to devote myself to, and then
Feeling the return on investment from the data is at least higher than the return on investment in getting a salary.”
Zhou Chi chewed the chicken and looked up at a 45-degree angle, looking like a river of sadness flowing backward:
"As for whether the game is good or bad, what's the point? Good games require energy, and now I think energy is more valuable than RMB."
Zhou Chi lamented that the Internet has no memory but netizens do. As an old netizen, Zhou Chi has experienced various embarrassing gaming eras.
That year, various Korean-style online games that were permanently free were trying to steal money;
That year, CF became the gunfight dream of 300 million primary school students;
That year, the notorious League of Legends only scored 2.4 points on Nomad Star;
That year, the game chain was still in a simple structure of stand-alone > online games, excluding Blizzard;
…
But now, these memories have all passed.
CF has become a childhood memory for a new generation. League of Legends players have gone from being ridiculed by DOTA players to being ridiculed for moba mobile games. DOTA players have probably already gotten married, had children, and studied fishing.
People like Zhou Chi who are stuck in the middle in their twenties are no longer keen on fighting with people online for products produced by a group of highly paid programmers. The real quality of the game has no meaning to him. Can he relax?
The greatest meaning is to temporarily forget about work in the game.
"So when I play games now, I only use three words: I am happy with the pictures, and I am happy that money cannot buy."
"You bought Happiness, and you spent real money on it. What's the matter? You don't plan to buy a house in the next two years?"
The cold winter in the industry will not bring down housing prices, but it will make housing prices rise more slowly. Qin Ren has already planned to buy a house, and suggested Zhou Chi to follow suit, but Zhou Chi directly responded to Versailles:
"Oh, I'm envious, brother Ren. You can buy a house by yourself, unlike me, who is a loser and can only rely on my parents for full payment..."
"..."
Qin Ren's face turned dark at that time. No wonder this grandson didn't blink an eye.
"But! I can still buy a bigger house for my wives through my own efforts."
"?"
Qin Ren was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhou Chi's words.
Wife?
Still "we"?
What's going on? This guy's house is full of girls from another world?
"When did you have a wife?"
"There have always been, Ai Uehara, Eimi Fukada, Yua Mikami, etc..."
Zhou Chi started mumbling some inappropriate names, then took out his mobile phone and showed Qin Ren Taobao:
"Taobao is currently having an event in the digital area. I thought I would take this opportunity to buy a bigger hard drive and give my wives a bigger house."
"..."
Qin Ren was a little speechless, but he was still interested in the activities in the digital area.
These days, any holiday can become a shopping festival, even Teacher's Day. Qin Ren kept in mind that Yu Ling'er at home wanted to change games, so he considered whether to give her a whole home game console or something...
"Zhou Chi, come to the conference room."
What was supposed to come finally came. Zhou Chi had just finished his meal, and the ministers also came out of the boss's office. Yun Wanhe raised her hand and started talking to Zhou Chi first. There was no doubt that it was about reducing bonuses.
