() In these years, the performance of state-owned enterprises is generally not good, especially when the army has to be patient. After returning to the mountain, military industrial enterprises such as Xinjiang General Factory are even worse. Cadres and workers see the days getting more and more miserable, so naturally they dare not spend arbitrarily.
money.
In particular, relocation has wiped out the savings of many families, and parents are stingy with their children's pocket money. Many people do not even give their children pocket money. Children of employees usually only have five to ten yuan in pocket money per week, and most children of middle-level leaders
The weekly pocket money is only about twenty or thirty yuan. In the previous life, Zhang Shufen refused to lose face, so she gritted her teeth and gave Lu Yang twenty yuan a week.
In this era of rapid depreciation of the RMB and soaring prices, such a small amount of money is naturally unnecessary.
A pack of plums, a pack of figs, two cents flew away, a piece of gold coin chocolate, a nai oil popsicle, five cents were gone. If you want a bottle of Robust Pepsi or other high-end products, one or two yuan
The money is gone, and there are still gifts from classmates, "luxury" consumption at this time, such as going to karaoke and singing, which puts a lot of pressure on the children's pocket money.
Dong Daming played crazy during the summer vacation and almost spent all his savings. He originally planned to be a high-roller, but he felt bad for spending five yuan. Now he heard that the price had increased and he was extremely depressed.
"Boss, isn't it?"
Dong Daming was very angry and shouted loudly: "The machines you have here are all old, and the prices are the same as those in the market. Who would come to play with them!"
Lu Yang walked up slowly. In his memory, the game arcade on Dajiang Middle Road was very special. The rent for such street stores was relatively expensive. The new market had not yet been repaired at this time. There were not many such popular storefronts.
, it is even rarer to do this kind of side business in the eyes of many parents at this time.
In fact, many of the arcade machines in Chongshan at this time were second-hand goods that had been eliminated from the coast, but some had been refurbished. However, the game arcade in front of me had not been refurbished, so it was considered to be second-hand goods.
"It's three dollars for one dollar now at the market," Wen Tian smiled, looked at Lu Yang who was walking up, raised his eyebrows and said to him: "Your colleague..."
"Boss, come one hundred!"
Lu Yang quickly interrupted Wen Tian, shook his head with a smile, and then said to the stunned people around him: "It's better if I invite you. I made a little fortune during the summer vacation."
After saying that, Lu Yang took out the genuine leather wallet from his trouser pocket, which made several people even more stunned.
Not many adults in the factory use wallets at this time, which is very rare for junior high school students who have dozens of dollars in their pockets at most.
Lu Yang would not be stupid enough to reveal all the money in his wallet in order to make a fortune. He quickly pulled out a workers' and peasants' note. There was a gasp around him, and many people nearby were playing games and watching the fun.
Students, when they heard that a high-roller was buying a hundred game coins at a time, they stopped playing in their hands and watched in shock.
Wen Tian was stunned when he saw the kid named Lu Yang in front of him take out fifty yuan to buy game coins. Of course, this was not a lot of money for him, but for children who usually come to buy game consoles, even if they give out five or ten yuan, it would be fine.
It's rare. Fifty dollars is only available to some parents who bring their children, but these parents won't buy a hundred game coins.
"Ah, my mummy is dead!"
"My day, my red wind!"
"Oh my god, Zhang Fei brother Ou Wei'er is old!"
At this time, many people came back to their senses. The brief distraction caused many tragedies. Several students who were chased away by people in line because they saw strange people died, all glared at Lu Yang angrily, blaming this person for bringing bad luck to them.
Being stared at and hated by others, Lu Yang felt strange and his expression was a little sarcastic.
During this period of time, there was no shortage of money in his wallet. Wei Zhixiu would look at his wallet from time to time, and there would always be at least three of the Four Great Men at the bottom. Once he was used to it, he thought fifty yuan was not much, but when he took it out, he realized that it was quite shocking.
"Haha, this little brother is so heroic," Wen Tian's voice suddenly became louder and he said, "I can't be stingy as a boss. Each person who failed just now will be compensated with one coin."
Hearing the boss's treat, several children cheered and stopped looking after Lu Yang, and hurriedly came over to get the game coins.
Wen Tian distributed the game coins to the children. He looked at the embarrassed boy in front of him and asked with a smile: "Do you really want to buy a hundred?"
"Um?"
Lu Yang came back to his senses, looked at the weird expressions of Peng Hongliang and others around him, and nodded: "Oh, buy more now when you have money, otherwise the price will increase in the future, boss, won't this coin expire?"
"Expired...of course not allowed..."
Wen Tian had a confused expression on his face. He looked at the handsome boy in front of him and thought that this kid's thoughts were really weird.
Dong Daming, Peng Hongliang and a few others looked a little clearer at this time, thinking that Lu Yang really had this plan.
To play the role of Grandet, naturally one cannot make a fortune.
Lu Yang took the twenty-five yuan he had found and stuffed it into his wallet. He carefully counted the one hundred game coins in his hand. Under the greedy eyes of the children nearby, he gave ten to Dong Daming, Peng Hongliang and others. He himself
Fifty of them were left behind, most of them in their trouser pockets like the others, with only two in their hands.
Children of this age have limited spending power, and the same goes for playing games. Most children only buy a few game coins and are reluctant to leave after playing. Therefore, people playing in the arcade often do not watch as much, especially primary school students who have no money.
They are basically the audience.
There had been such a 'big show' before, and the children in the arcade knew several people. Wherever they went, the children there would spread out and look at a few people with strange eyes.
Dong Daming, Peng Hongliang and others had never been so prosperous before, especially when they saw the class cadres from other classes in the third grade of junior high school looking at them with surprised expressions. They immediately felt proud and looked for the game they wanted to play with their heads held high.
There are differences between Hong Kong and Taiwan and Europe and the United States, there are differences between the coastal areas and Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there are naturally many differences between the mountains in the west and the coastal areas.
In addition, the computer boards of arcade machines are very expensive, so the boss naturally chooses classic games that can attract children to play. They are just popular games such as Street Fighter and Samurai of the Round Table. At this time, there were not even the newer Samurai Shodown.
Dong Daming and several others quickly went to queue up at the popular Street Fighter. Lu Yang didn't really want to play anyway, so he and Peng Hongliang followed behind to watch the fun.
The rent on the street is expensive and the space is not large. There are eight arcade machines in two rows, three of which are Street Fighters.
Compared with a game like Captain Hook, which can be played by a single player for a whole day, this fighting game is most popular with bosses. It would be better if someone can fight it.
Most of the children in Xinjiang General Factory did not have the opportunity to touch arcade machines in the old factory era, so the game level was naturally not high. No master could win steadily. A few years later, a master would monopolize a machine and no one would dare to challenge it.
There is none now.
Now more than a dozen branch factories have just been established. Most of the children have not known each other since they were young, and naturally they have no feelings to talk to. The spirit of fighting is very strong.
The players of the three Street Fighters changed every few minutes. On one of them, it was Dong Daming's turn soon. His opponent was the deputy squad leader of another class in the third grade of junior high school.
As the familiar exciting background sound rang out from the arcade, Dong Daming and the classmate were all staring at the arcade screen, moving the joystick quickly in their hands, tapping the six buttons, and mumbling words.
The skills of both of them are obviously at a low-level stage. They don't know how to defend and attack. They focus most of their energy on performing some cool stunts. The arcade machine occasionally makes background sounds such as Hulong Fist and Hey Yougen.
The two quickly ended the three games, and Dong Daming won. He shouted happily and looked provocatively at the children around him.
Dong Daming was so arrogant, which naturally made the surrounding students dissatisfied, especially the students in other classes in the third grade of junior high school who were not convinced and came up to challenge him.
At this time, it was not popular for classmates to play against each other. Firstly, the style of state-owned enterprises is that they like to stick together and do not like internal competition. Secondly, if they play well with each other, the boss will not take advantage of them.
So the other two students dominated the other two street fighter machines, Lu Yang and Peng Hongliang, and another student just wandered around the three arcade machines to see the excitement. After a while, Peng Hongliang and another student seized the opportunity and started
Play Devouring the World.
In his previous life, Lu Yang also knew that his family was short of money and didn't dare to spend it arbitrarily, so he rarely played intense fighting games. In addition to the sports games he loved, his best games were Devouring Heaven and Earth, Captain Hook, and Famous Generals.
Clearing the game, especially Captain Hook, is a master among masters. He once played with one game currency from morning to night until the owner of the game arcade had to give him a replacement in order to close the door, and then walked away under the hateful and depressed eyes of the other party.
.
Of course, with Lu Yang's vision at this time, as well as the skills honed by searching for cheats on the Internet and using computer simulators in later generations, playing Street Fighter would not be difficult for a rookie like him.
But Lu Yang was not interested. He walked to the corner, where a boy with glasses and the appearance of a primary school student was playing Captain Hook. Of course, everyone called him Peter Pan at this time.
When the elementary school student with glasses saw that the wealthy man was actually playing games next to him, he was a little flattered and became restless. Lu Yang smiled at him and put in a game coin.
Children these days have little knowledge, and not many can understand the English surnames on the arcade screen. Each game character has its own nickname, such as boss, double sword, fat man, and dwarf.
Seeing Lu Yang choose a good-for-nothing character with the nickname Ax, the bespectacled primary school student immediately looked at him in surprise.
Lu Yang's hands were still a little rusty at first, but unlike a little boy who didn't know anything and just played around, although his memory was blurred, in many situations, just a few instinctive tricks or moves made the situation immediately improve.
The primary school student with glasses became more and more excited. He had never passed the level before, and with the help of wealthy experts around him, he actually passed the level in just twenty minutes.
The arcade machine started to play the final animation, and the elementary school student with glasses was about to get up and leave. Lu Yang stopped him with a smile and told him that he could still play after passing the level.
The primary school student with glasses was surprised and excited and quickly sat down. Lu Yang took this free time to look around and saw that Dong Daming and the others were having a good time.
At this time, several figures appeared under the street trees opposite the game hall. Lu Yang saw that one of his old acquaintances seemed to be looking here, and he turned around calmly and started playing the game again.
