1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Where did Mom hit you? Let me see." Lu Hao looked around, but he didn't find any injuries on Nini's body.

Not even a red mark.

"Here." Nini pouted her buttocks, leaned sideways, and showed Lu Hao with her fingers.

A look of grievance.

"It hurts."

Su Min said unhappily, "I patted her lightly with my hand to tell her not to move around. She wanted to try everything. She wanted to turn on the air conditioner, the TV, and the refrigerator. They were all powered. It was very dangerous. .”

Four or five years old, the age that even a dog would hate.

I don't understand anything, but I am very curious about everything, not to mention touching it with my hands, it is possible to put it on my mouth.

"Mom just patted it lightly. It didn't hurt. Nini is a man and she is very brave. She didn't cry when she fell outside just now, so she won't cry now, okay?" Lu Hao held her by the hand. , sit on the edge of the bed.

The landline is on the side cabinet.

Although the home is small, it has all the internal organs.

Air conditioners, refrigerators, TVs, and landlines are all available.

"Nini's body doesn't hurt, but Nini's heart hurts." Nini said.

This is clever.

She still looked at Su Min, as if she wanted Su Min to apologize to her.

"Okay, mom won't hit you, mom is wrong." Su Min coaxed her, "But you can't mess with the phone, it costs 1500 yuan, it's very expensive, it's broken, it fell to the ground, and you can't make calls."

"It's not that expensive." Lu Hao said with a smile, "It's just a little more expensive for the initial installation. If the parts are broken, you can replace the parts, and it won't cost you much."

The initial installation fee is a one-time fee, which is to share the cost of telephone construction by the post office, not the cost of the landline itself.

For example, the handset can be replaced for three or four yuan, but the sub-ring and socket are even cheaper, and can be replaced for one yuan.

"How do you charge for calling?" Su Min asked.

"Calls in the city are recorded once every 3 minutes, and each time is 4 cents. Domestic long-distance calls are more complicated. There are 13 levels according to the distance, from level 1 to level 13. Level 1 is within 25 kilometers, and 5 cents , the second level is 2 to 25 kilometers, 50 cents, the third level is 1 to 3 kilometers, 50 cents, not to mention the middle ones, the most expensive is the 100th level, more than 2 kilometers, 13 yuan and 2000 cents money."

"By the way, there is also a monthly rental fee, which is 12 yuan per month."

"There are so many fees, why do you have to charge for everything?" Su Min was surprised.

She seldom makes phone calls, and she has two brains to listen to. Initial installation fee, local phone fee, long-distance phone fee, monthly rental fee, why are you charged for everything?

"It's a bit complicated, but it's still cheap. We belong to residential phones, and the monthly rent is 3 yuan lower. Outside the residence, such as the phone in the factory office, the monthly rent is 15 yuan per month." Lu Haodao said .

In fact, the one he is talking about is a monthly rental fee, and there is also a monthly rental fee based on times. The basic monthly rental fee can be 2 yuan cheaper per month, 10 yuan a month, and the basic number of calls is 60 times. , Exceeding the additional billing, it is also 4 cents each time.

The difference between the two is actually not that big.

Lu Hao knew about these things when he installed a landline in the supermarket last time, and he still generally remembers them.

Speaking of this, he reminded again, "However, the billing method of domestic long-distance calls is different from that of local calls. In the city, the billing is based on 3 minutes, while domestic long-distance calls are billed according to the actual call time, and the billing is per minute. Less than 1 minute shall be counted as 1 minute."

He was afraid that Su Min would not understand, so he put it more simply, "Within 3 minutes, 4 cents will be charged for local calls. After 3 minutes, you need to calculate the cost again. If you call within 6 minutes, it will be 8 cents. Domestic long-distance calls are once a minute. .”

It’s easy to understand that the billing times of calls in the city and long distance are different. The cost of long distance is expensive, so the billing time is short and billed every minute, while the cost in the city is low, and the billing time is a little longer. 3 minute.

"However, when I asked them last time, they said that the long-distance fee may be changed in the near future, and the price will be increased. The fee for the first level is not 1 cents, but will be adjusted to 5 cents, and the fee for the second level will be adjusted from 1 cents to 2 cents. 1 cents."

Prices are rising, and it can be seen from all sides.

There are several main reasons. The bank releases water and injects a large amount of funds into the society. This is one aspect, and the other is that many companies implement a dual-track price system.

The products in the plan are still at the original price, and the enterprise cannot set the price independently, but if the enterprise completes the tasks in the plan and there are remaining products, the enterprise can set the price independently for these products.

Most of the planned product prices are relatively low. In fact, this is not in line with market laws. Enterprises have been losing money. Before that, the state has been covering the bottom and putting pressure on them. Once the price is released, even if only some products are handed over to the enterprise itself. Pricing, the price will definitely have to go up.

And slowly let go of independent pricing power and the source of products, raw materials, will also let go of prices.

That said, costs are also rising.

In this case, it is strange that the price of the whole society does not rise.

It is very difficult to move the whole body with one hair, just like a gourd in the water, it floats up after pressing one end and the other.

"We should mostly make local calls. It only costs 4 cents and 3 minutes, which is quite expensive." Su Min said.

She's smart, and the fees are complex, but hits the nail on the head.

One minute is definitely not enough, at least three to five minutes, longer is best, more communication, more communication, at least half an hour.

This will cost a lot of money.

This is an additional overhead cost.

"It's almost time, hang up now."

"Oh, it's time out, let's say a few more words."

This is a common sentence that many people use when making phone calls. Call for a while to see how long the time has passed. This is still the case after more than ten or twenty years.

When Lu Hao had a big brother in his previous life, he was already worth hundreds of thousands. He seldom kept track of the time on the phone. He didn't like to keep track of the time.

It takes half an hour at every turn, and it looks like there is not much money, but in fact the final settlement is quite expensive.

A lot of phone bills every month.

"Nini wants to call Xiao Jin, so let her call, just let Xiao Jin come over to have fun, let's go shopping together, as agreed before, after she finishes the college entrance examination, take her shopping, buy whatever you want What to buy." Lu Hao said, "By the way, let's talk to my parents, the landline is installed at home, and if there is anything in the future, just call and talk."

"Okay." Su Min looked up at Lu Hao.

In fact, she also wanted to call back. This is a landline installed at the expense of her man.

My man is very capable!

"I'll call." Nini said immediately.

"Okay, you call. Hold the receiver. Don't press it randomly. I will press it." Su Min had already memorized the landline number at home.

dialed.

pass.

Nini held the microphone and said, "Hey, it's my aunt? Guess who I am?". Seven

This baby is clever and clever, but he is only 5 years old after all, innocent and innocent.
