Chapter 107 Unexpected results

Thierry took out a Crocodile brand wallet from his pocket, and Frank immediately laughed knowingly. Thierry often played this little trick. He would stuff some money into the wallet, and then put a card of his own.

Then he threw the business card in a random place. He hid aside and secretly observed to see how the person who picked up the money would react.

"You can't observe by yourself this time. Thierry, this is China, and we are the only two foreigners in the whole supermarket. It's too conspicuous. Mr. Qi, please take a look here to see who took this wallet.

And how you handled it, come back and tell us in detail." Frank told the translator.

"That's such a pity!" Thierry shrugged. Frank was right. If he stayed to observe by himself, it would be a bit too conspicuous. It seems that the fun this time is only to listen to this Chinese

The translator came to describe it to himself. Translator Qi rolled his eyes secretly. Although it was his job to be a translator, he did not agree with their behavior. But whether he did not agree with it or not, he still had to do it.

.

Frank and translator Qi agreed on a meeting place and time, and the two of them continued to wander around the store.

They noticed that the variety of meat and fish in this store seemed to be somewhat lacking, and the area allocated seemed a bit small. However, the price of the meat was not high.

"Thierry, when those Koreans came to China, they were probably as happy as if they had entered heaven." Frank pointed at the beef and mutton in the freezer and smiled.

Thierry glanced at the label and couldn't help laughing. "If you look at the prices of those fruits, you will think that those Koreans are so pitiful."

Both of them have stayed in South Korea for a few months for work reasons and have had some interactions with Koreans, so they have a deep understanding of Korean food. Therefore, they know that the price of agricultural products in South Korea is compared with that in China.

It's simply terrifyingly high.

In Korea, you can often see relatives and friends coming and going, wrapping up a piece of beef or sitting together to drink pork ribs soup, which makes these Koreans happy as if they are celebrating the New Year. Indeed, in Korea, pork ribs are regarded as

A great gift for relatives and friends. Even wealthy people often take eating ribs very seriously, and there is even an exaggerated saying that "if you buy ribs, you won't have money to pay for insurance."

Even with their income level, during the few months they stayed in South Korea, if it weren't for the company's subsidy, they would have been discouraged from eating meat and fruits. Even compared to Europe, the price is too outrageous.

"Look at this, if you calculate it based on this price, if you buy ten pounds of beef in Seoul, you can almost buy a cow in China!" Frank said with deep emotion, "I still remember that in the shopping mall, most of their watermelons

It’s about selling the film. If you look at it individually, I’m afraid many Koreans won’t even watch it.” Looking at the fruits in the Huaxia Shopping Mall, and then recalling the scene when he lived in Korea, Frank expressed his thoughts on what he would do if he could serve as a member of the carefour group in the future.

The management of Huaxia District is full of longing.

"But there's nothing surprising about this. If you ask me, it's the Korean government's policy." Thierry shrugged.

South Korea's agriculture is not the bread basket of the world like the United States, nor are agricultural and sideline products as cheap as in the United States. Most of South Korea's land is mountainous, and agriculture is mainly family-run, resulting in higher costs and a low self-sufficiency rate in agricultural and sideline products.

Korean farmers have a strong sense of self-protection and oppose the entry of foreign agricultural products into the domestic market. In addition, the Korean government implements strict protection policies for agriculture, and the import and export markets are relatively closed, which results in high meat prices. And South Korea’s domestically produced meat

Beef is much more expensive than imported beef, the difference is about double, but people still like domestic beef. This is because Koreans believe in "the body and the soil are inseparable" and believe that people who grew up on this land should eat

Things produced on this land. So because of the price, not everyone in South Korea can afford to give or eat pork ribs.

As they walked, the two of them casually commented on the products in the supermarket. From the shelves, it can be seen that most of the products in this supermarket are made in China. There are not many imported products, and the prices are relatively expensive. It is difficult to buy these imported products.

Although there are not many people, the purchasing power is considerable.

"Sure enough, as Mr. Nicholas said, although the overall consumption power of this country is limited, some people have quite good consumption levels and can already digest foreign products." Thierry pointed to the products on the shelves.

, “It’s just that most of these products are second- and third-rate products abroad, and real high-end luxury goods have not yet entered China.”

"This is not surprising. After all, China's reform and opening up policy has only been implemented for a short period of ten years until this year. If you were lucky enough to have contact with Chinese people in the early 1980s, you will find that during that era

Compared with today, China has undergone earth-shaking changes. It has only been ten years. To be honest, I am looking forward to what the scene will be like here in another ten years. Maybe by that time,

Luxury cars like Ferrari and Rolls-Royce can be seen everywhere on the streets of Fengyuan City."

"How is this possible?" Thierry said in disbelief. You must know that with the income level of Chinese people, the cost of buying a Rolls-Royce or Ferrari sports car is enough for them to earn for hundreds of years, let alone the money after buying the car.

Various expenses.

"How is this impossible? When 50% to 60% of wealth is concentrated in the hands of 10% or even a smaller proportion of people, they will probably be richer than ordinary Europeans!" Frank disagreed.

Authentic. In his view, China's society has already shown signs of this, and the Chinese government's ability to control this obviously needs to be greatly strengthened!

"Fifty or sixty percent of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of 10% or even a smaller proportion of the population? Isn't that even higher than the concentration of wealth in the United States! This is a society..."

"We are now announcing a search for the owner. Mr. Thierry Blanc, Mr. Thierry Blanc, your lost wallet has been found. Please go to the front desk quickly to claim your wallet. Thierry.

Mr. Blanc, your lost wallet has been found, please go to the front desk quickly to claim your wallet..." A sudden supermarket broadcast interrupted Thierry.

Although the two of them could not understand Chinese, they could still hear that Thierry's name seemed to be mentioned on the radio.

The two of them glanced at each other, and at this moment, the translator hurried over and said: "Mr. Thierry, we just announced on the radio that your wallet is now at the front desk of the supermarket, please go and claim it quickly!

"

"Ah?" Both Thierry and Frank couldn't help being surprised. Although Thierry's wallet didn't have much money, it still contained two to three hundred yuan. How long had he left his wallet there?

Someone sent it to the lost and found area at the front desk of the supermarket.

As the three of them walked towards the entrance of the supermarket, Qi Translator quickly told them everything he saw after they left.

It turned out that not long after Thierry and I left, a Carrefour supermarket clerk found the wallet left behind on the shelf. After looking through the items, she ran all the way to the supermarket's front desk.

Translator Qi came to find Frank and the other two.

"Isn't there any hesitation in that woman?" Thierry said in disbelief. Before doing this, he inquired about the average income level in Fengyuan City. Although the money was not much, it was still worth it.

The average person earns more than half a month or even a month's income. It is really unbelievable to him that a clerk who is tallying can hand over such a sum of money without hesitation.

"There was no hesitation. She just walked around the shelves twice at first. In my opinion, that was her trying to find you directly." Qi Translator said with some excitement. Such a result made him

I also felt like my face was glowing.

The three people quickly arrived at the front desk of the supermarket. After Thierry showed his passport and explained clearly the contents of the wallet, the wallet quickly returned to his hand. He opened it and looked at it. There was nothing missing in it.

It's just that the business card I placed has obviously changed its place.

"This is my little thank you to the person who found my wallet!" Thierry took out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and handed it to the front desk staff.

"I'm sorry, the person who picked up your wallet is an employee of my store. According to our store's management system, her reward will be distributed by our store when her salary is paid next month. She cannot accept your gift!" Front desk

Smiled.

This is a rule set by Fang Mingyuan. Any valuable items picked up by Carrefour supermarket employees in the supermarket must be returned to the owner. If the owner gives a gift on the spot, he can collect it appropriately, but it cannot exceed the value of the lost item.

Thirty percent of the total value. If the owner does not give a gift after getting it, as long as it is confirmed by the team leader, or the owner is not found, or the owner is found through the front desk, then the 30% value reward will be

The supermarket will settle the salary when it is paid, and the maximum amount of the reward is the employee's entire income for three months. And when the salary is raised in the future, these employees who have earned more money will be given priority.

And if you pick up a lost item and fail to hand it in or return it to the owner, once it is discovered and verified, the person who picked up the lost item will be fined, demoted, reduced in salary, or even dismissed based on the value of the lost item! This provision is applicable to every employee who is recruited.

This is something that the staff at Carrefour supermarkets will be told repeatedly when they start working.

In the past few years since Carrefour Supermarket came out of Pingchuan County, the rewards issued have exceeded 100,000 yuan...
