Chapter 126: Economic crisis 7

The 14th day of the game.
On the street, Shen Congjun walked aimlessly like a wandering soul. For a while, he was confused, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do.
During this period of time, words such as salary reduction, unemployment, and shop closure have been heard many times. But he never thought that these words would have something to do with him.
He has been working in a garment factory for five years, and the efficiency of the factory has been good. Not long ago, he had just been promoted to department manager. Just as he was very energetic and felt that he was about to usher in the peak of his career, the boss suddenly announced that in view of the recent poor market environment and the slow sales of goods, he decided to quit and close the factory.
When he first heard the news, Shen Congjun couldn't believe his ears!
It's just that the boss has made up his mind. I gave severance pay and had a meal. From then on, everyone went their separate ways.
Shen Congjun still remembers what the boss was drunk and muttered, "I can't help it... the factory loses money every day. The longer it lasts, the more it loses."
"After struggling for a few years, I have finally worked hard to get some wealth, and I can't lose it anymore. I used to be a single bachelor, and if I lost, I would bear it myself. Now it is different. I have a wife and children, and I have to think about everything for them."
"After closing the factory, I will eat frugally, and at least I will not starve to death. If I continue to hold on to the business, I might owe a debt. I am older and I just want to live a stable life."
...
The more Shen Congjun recalled, the more sad and anxious he felt. The boss succeeded in saving himself, what should they do if they lose their jobs? You know, he is confident that he has a limitless future. He just used all his deposits as a down payment and bought a new car with a loan! Now that the car loan has not been paid off, he has no source of income.
Even worse, the car was discounted by three points as soon as it landed. Even if the new car is changed hands immediately, the car loan can only be repaid, but the deposit cannot be returned.
"How did the world become like this..." Shen Congjun sighed deeply, his words full of powerlessness.
Before disaster strikes, I will always feel that it has nothing to do with me. Until the disaster happened to me, I realized that I was just an ordinary person after all, unable to escape the torrent of history.

In the hospital, a sad cry suddenly sounded, "Doctor, please save this child!"
The doctor who was dragged on looked embarrassed, "The price of the medicine is regulated, and I can't help it if I can't afford it."
In fact, there are not a few patients who are too poor to pay for medical expenses recently. They are crying and crying, and they don't want to sit and wait for death, but in the end they can only accept the facts.
It is said that the doctor's parental heart, the doctor also wants to help. But he has parents at the top and children at the bottom, and his finances are also very tight. Besides, he saved one, did he save everyone? In the end, isn't it just being cruel and pretending not to see?
Knowing that no one would help, the man let go of his hand in despair.
The doctor drove away quickly, hiding far away. You know, doctors are also a dangerous profession today. Yesterday, a patient could not afford the medical bills, begging the doctor for nothing, and hacked him to death with a knife!
Doctors are also human! There are also young and old at home. The patient cannot afford medicine, what can the doctor do? It's not that there is a mine at home, so I can buy all the medicines and give it away for free. After all, the patient knew that he could not be cured, so he angered others.
The crying became more and more miserable, and a six or seven-year-old girl was scared to hide behind her mother. After a while, she couldn't help but look up, "Mom, let's not see the doctor anymore, can we go home?"
The young girl around me patiently persuaded, "You are a good girl, and you need injections and medicine to heal a fever."
"But it costs a lot of money to cure the disease..." The little girl looked like a little adult, worrisome.
The young girl squeezed her daughter's bun face and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Mom has money."
She said that, but her heart was quite sad. Her husband died early, and only her and her daughter were left in the family. In order to raise her daughter to an adult, she is reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, and save the money whenever she has spare money.
Colleagues and friends persuaded her that women should treat themselves better. After calculating the future expenses, she can spend the rest as much as she wants, but she refuses. This is what she thinks. There is only one labor force in the family. If the calculation is too sophisticated and emergencies occur, such as sickness and hospitalization, won’t the money be enough? !
So she tried her best to save money and save all expenses. At this moment, seeing people in the hospital who had no money to treat illnesses, she was sincerely grateful that she had been saving money conscientiously. I usually have a hard time in my small life, and I can't buy and buy as much as I want, but the money saved can save my life when it is critical!

As time goes by, more and more people are financially troubled and unable to survive. Residents did not consciously change the valuable items in the sellers, and only asked for some cash to buy a stutter. In the bazaar that gathered spontaneously, the cries continued--
"The crocodile leather backpack is 90% new. If you want to buy it as soon as possible."
"Silk scarves and fox fur coats are sold at a low price. Come and take a look if you want them!"
"Five pieces of gold that are well preserved, I hope to exchange for some cash."
Su Han strolled past the stalls one by one, and finally stopped in front of Jin Wu piece. She took the gold jewelry and looked at it carefully, and then asked after a long time, "Why don't you sell it to a gold jewelry store?"
The stall owner smiled bitterly, "I lost the voucher when I bought it. The shop didn't admit it, and insisted that the item did not belong to their home, so it was not recycled.
In order to get something to eat, she even tried using gold ornaments to exchange daily necessities directly with people, but no one wanted to.
In other people’s words, "Gold can't be eaten or worn. What do you want it for?"
Can the value be preserved in the future? Sorry, everyone is a poor public, now they can't live happily in minutes, and can't wait for the future.
She wants to sell gold jewelry to the rich, but unfortunately there is no way. And even if they have money, they want to wait and see for a while to see if the price is lower. She really had nowhere to go, so she planned to try her luck at the market.
"How much?" Zhong Rui asked the price on his own initiative, ready to pay.
A few days ago, the market price was 300 beets per gram, but one price per day, today's market price has fallen to 250 beets per gram. The stall owner originally wanted to quote 220 beets per gram, but he couldn't help but change his words, "The requirements are not high, 200 bemes per gram will do."
There are very few people who are interested in buying gold jewellery. Finally, I met one, but the stall owner would miss it! She took the initiative to lower the price, only to realize it as soon as possible. Continue to put it in your hands, who knows if the unit price will fall below 200 shells in two days?
Su Han showed a hint of joy, and said readily, "I will take all five pieces." She had already checked and determined that the five pieces of gold ornaments were all pure gold.
As soon as the voice fell, Zhong Rui paid the bill.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" After finally realizing the gold jewelry, the stall owner looked happy. I was thinking that she could finally go to the supermarket to buy rice porridge.
"The price is one-third less than before, so it's time to come out and pick it up." Su Han was very happy.
Zhong Rui smiled, "Let's go, continue shopping."
The two began to scan the goods as much as they wanted, and they agreed to give priority to buying more discounted goods. The cheaper you buy, the more you earn after the market price is restored.
Unexpectedly, after walking around for a while, I encountered an acquaintance—other demo players also happened to be scanning the goods in this market. The two sides looked at each other, tacitly avoided each other. If different people show their intention to buy, the stall owner is bound to sit down and raise the price. It would be better to buy each one without interfering with each other.
Su Han quietly looked at the other party for a moment, and then whispered in the ear of the little friend, "I bought seven or eight gold jewelry, and the amount of funds should be at least 10,000."
Zhong Rui replied softly, "Being a trial player, of course, is not ordinary."
Su Han sighed secretly, these guys are really little money-making experts. But think about it, she has a calm personality, so she didn't take risks in the first five days, but worked honestly and peacefully. Except for a few pieces of bread, the performance is not outstanding. If someone is willing to take risks, of course they will quickly accumulate a sum of money.
High risk and high return are the same everywhere.
Suddenly, Su Han whispered, "While he is bargaining with people now, shall we hurry up?"
Not far away, several big guys have been staring at them for a long time. His eyes were ill-intentioned, and he was obviously trying to robbery.
But now there are two fat sheep. If they leave at this time, the other party will definitely have a disagreement, entangled in whether to follow, or stay to deal with the lone trial player.
Su Han was not naive enough to think that all the robbers would stay, and watched them leave. It was just that he was a vulnerable low-level player after all, and it was always good to come with fewer people.
Zhong Rui's eyes flickered, and he immediately realized. He nodded and replied, "The things to buy are almost the same, let's go."
The two left quietly.
It's just that someone has sharp eyes, and soon found that the fat sheep had run away, and immediately reported to the boss.
The leader thought for a while and motioned for the three to follow. As for himself, he stayed with the other four, staring fiercely at the trial player who was enjoying buying and buying. Compared to two people, it is certainly better to deal with fat sheep acting alone.
Not far from the market, Zhong Rui's expression moved and he whispered, "Come here."
"En." Su Han responded in a low voice, with his right hand in his pocket, ready to do it at all times.
While speaking, a big man rushed over and slashed at the two with a machete.
In order to avoid the attack, the two had to separate.
So the two besieged Zhong Rui, and one walked towards Su Han with a grinning grin.
"Don't laugh so irritatingly, be afraid." Su Han muttered softly, but there was no fear on his face. She seemed to be frightened and stupefied, standing still in place.
When the man approached step by step and got close enough, she stepped forward, took out the wolf-proof electric shock device from her pocket, and pressed it at the man's neck.
"Zi" The electric current sounded.
The big man's smile froze on his face, his gaze was dull, his body numb, and he felt particularly irritating.
Su Han looked at it quietly, and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously. The anti-wolf electric shock device is a second-hand purchased by Zhong Rui, and it is very new. She used it for the first time today and found that the effect was particularly good. Sure enough, in the current copy, money is everything.
The big man moved his fingers, as if struggling to get up. Su Han decisively and shocked again.
The big man was attacked twice and immediately passed out.
At this time, Zhong Rui just used a telescopic stick to beat the besieging two people down.
The two joined together and turned away without hesitation. Until entering the hotel's single room, this was a little relieved.
Just as Zhong Rui wanted to speak, he glanced inadvertently and frowned.
Su Han subconsciously followed his gaze, then frowned, "Did someone turn over your room?"
The door of the wardrobe is obviously slightly open.
Zhong Rui pursed his lips, and said in an extremely determined tone, "I've definitely been turned over. I always close the door." After that, he approached the closet and checked the damage.
After a while, he announced, "One brand-name watch and three clothes are missing."
The two looked at each other and fell into deathly silence. Both of them are keenly aware that things are faintly out of control.
Frankly speaking, the important things are kept in the portable warehouse, and there are only some worthless clothes in the room, so the loss is not big. It's just that they thought they lived in a safe area, but they were robbed and felt bad. Who knows if someone suddenly rushes in and robs with a knife next time?
The more you get to the last few days of the game, the more you can't afford to lose. Therefore, Su Han used his brain to think quickly.
In fact, if it is a real society, there are many ways to cope. Such as hiring bodyguards and personal protection; such as living in a high-end residential area without leaving the house; such as going abroad for a holiday, waiting for the situation to stabilize before returning...
It's just that this is a game, and if you hire a bodyguard, you might turn back; living in a high-end community might be besieged by refugees; as for going abroad, there is no such option.
Su Han thought of a lot of ways, and then vetoed them one by one, and finally said helplessly, "Or as in the hyperinflation copy, find a place to hide."
Zhong Rui agreed, "I think so too."
At this stage, staying away from the crowd means staying away from danger.
