Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

After leaving the telephone building, Zuo Zhen returned to his rental house.

The landlord left the room quickly after celebrating the New Year, and then Zuo Zhen led people into the rental house. At the same time, Zuo Zhen got a few of the latest computers that had just been released overseas not long ago.

It has a memory capacity of 512KB and a hard drive capacity of 30MB.

Such a computer was not available last year, but this epoch-making product was announced at the Electronics Expo earlier this year.

As for previous computers, their value was immediately shattered.

Being able to use computers with the latest performance, Zuo Zhen will naturally stop looking at those with poorer performance.

But this computer is also really expensive.

Zuo Zhen still used his own overseas funds to purchase from Japan. It took a lot of effort to send it back to China, and finally the computer was delivered to them in mid-March.

After getting it in his hands, Zuo Zhen finally felt a sense of progress of the times.

To make an analogy, Xiaomi added a rifle last year, but this year it is already a rifle that can fire continuously.

In another two years, it might be the Thompson submachine gun.

Entering the rental house, Zuo Zhen heard the sound of typing on the keyboard. It was the sound of several people running over and busy with the work at hand during their free time after class.

But Yu Mengchen is not here. They seem to have some exams recently and cannot come to help in a short time.

There were two other people sitting on the balcony of the rental house, smoking and chatting, which was very comfortable.

Xie Qin, as the only non-college student, is the most dedicated person.

He was not idle when others were resting, but kept thinking about how to make the sound effects of the game better, and tried his best to squeeze out every byte of performance on the game console.

"I would like to announce some happy news to everyone. Our fourth game has made a lot of money overseas, so everyone will receive an additional 500 yuan bonus this month."

Zuo Zhen shouted directly in the room, which made everyone stop what they were doing.

"Wow! Long live the boss!"

"Five hundred dollars!"

Several people in the rental house were soon cheering.

Since following Zuo Zhen, their income has increased visibly.

Outside, some ordinary industrial workers and unit technicians still only have a salary of fifty or sixty, and this is despite the general wage increase this year.

For a better position, you might be able to get a salary of seventy or eighty yuan.

And Zuo Zhen can now pay them a steady salary of 100 yuan a month.

Not only that, they can also receive many subsidies, benefits and bonuses.

Every time a game is released, Zuo Zhen will give more or less bonuses based on sales.

If you add up all the miscellaneous things, you may have a salary of less than 2,000 yuan by the end of the year.

Among them, a few college students are not deeply aware of this. They have not really been exposed to society and cannot deeply understand the meaning of these wages.

But Xie Qin, he was an ordinary person who wandered around outside before.

His father's salary has just increased to 60 yuan a month this year, and including subsidies and rewards, it can barely reach 70 yuan.

This salary alone is considered quite good in the unit.

However, his salary in the past few months has surpassed that of his father, which makes him feel somewhat dreamy.

Now, Zuo Zhen directly gave each of them a bonus of 500 yuan in one sentence. Xie Qin almost wanted to pinch his own thigh to make sure that he was not dreaming.

"Everyone else, please notify me as well. If you can come at night, come and I will give you cash. If you can't come at night, you can come tomorrow."

"no problem!"

Several students patted their chests in assurance.

They all couldn't wait to go out and buy something.

Five hundred yuan, let's get a new outfit first.

The most popular clothes recently are a red suit and a white shirt, which is the outfit Fei Xiang wore in the Spring Festival Gala. It is very expensive, costing more than 100 yuan a set, and they were a little reluctant to part with it before.

But now...

Xie Qin clutched the fifty brand-new ten-dollar bills that Zuo Zhendi had given him, and could not calm down the excitement in his heart for a long time.

When he got off work in the evening, he didn't run around like before.

Because he is afraid.

I was afraid that if I lost the five hundred yuan running around, I would regret it to death.

So the first thing he did was go home and hand all the money to his mother.

When I got home, there was already a smell of rice.

"Mom, I'm back."

Entering the door, Xie Qin shouted while slipping on his shoes.

"Ah, my son is back. Wash your hands quickly. Mom will prepare something delicious for you."

Xie Qin's mother's voice came from the kitchen.

Xie Qin did not wash his hands, but went directly to the kitchen.

"Don't worry, son. Are you tired from running around for a day? Go wash up first, be good."

"Mom, didn't I say I had found a job now? Why do you always forget?"

Xie Qin's mother patted her forehead: "Yes, my memory just can't remember it."

"Mom, give it to you."

Xie Qin took out five hundred yuan tied with a rubber band from his pocket and placed it on the kitchen table.

Those were fifty brand-new ten-dollar bills. When fifty were stacked together, it looked like a lot of money.

Xie Qin's mother opened her eyes wide and looked at her son in surprise.

"Son... you... you..."

"Mom, I made money, and a lot of it!"

Xie Qin said proudly.

"Why are there so many?!"

Xie Qin's mother immediately stopped cooking and picked up the five hundred yuan.

"You...are you doing something illegal or disorderly?"

"Mom! Why do you look at me like this? This is all the money I earned seriously!"

"But...but...how...is this possible?"

"Mom, you don't know that video games are popular in the world right now. This thing is very profitable outside. This five hundred yuan is the bonus our boss gave us after he made a lot of money abroad."

"The bonus alone is five hundred yuan?!"

"Yes, and it's not just that. I still have a salary now, and the salary is more. But I never dared to tell you before, but today I can't help it."

Xie Qin grabbed his mother's hand with some excitement.

Then he took out another passbook.

"There are still five to five hundred yuan in it. This is the salary and bonus I saved during this period."

"this……"

Xie Qin's mother was now a little shocked and speechless.

What's going on?

How could his son get so much money in the blink of an eye?

"You...you really didn't do anything illegal? I heard before that the second child in the house next door just broke the law..."

"No! Absolutely not! And I am still doing a very aboveboard job. Mom, let me tell you, the future of this job is definitely hundreds of times better than hammering nails in a workshop!"
