Chapter 1 GDP Tasks
"Dear, I'm running out of books again." Li Wei put down his cell phone, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the ceiling.
Li Wei believes that he is not the picky "Old Bai", but he reads books very quickly and has been since he was a child.
Because I read it quickly, I read a lot. I really don’t want to read those books with the same routine and style after reading dozens of books.
"I really miss the days when I was a child." Li Wei exclaimed.
Although Li Wei's family was in the countryside, his ancestors had been telling stories in the city since the end of the Qing Dynasty. There were many ancient novels and novels at home. Li Wei's grandfather also liked to collect classical novels. Li Wei grew up reading these books.
Unfortunately, after my grandfather and father passed away, several uncles sold all the books and exchanged them for the capital of doing business.
Many of those books were rare ancient books from the Ming and Qing dynasties, or even lonely books. Li Wei always felt very distressed.
"Boss, there is no boiling water!" A rough voice suddenly sounded in the noisy teahouse.
"Here you come!" Li Wei stood up and lifted a pot of water.
This teahouse was run by Li Wei's second uncle, and Li Wei works here.
OK, it can also be called chores and running.
"Li Wei, don't play with your phone all day long, please greet the guests more!" Uncle Er was playing cards with a table of guests and said impatiently.
"I understand." Li Wei didn't say much, but added water to the customer. Seeing that there was not much water in the pot, he went to the backyard to boil water.
"Young people nowadays don't know how to talk and socialize. Fortunately, our elders have spent money to support him in high school in the county town, thinking that he could see the world." The middle-aged woman at the other table snorted, this was Li Wei's second aunt.
"That's not the case. Whether you can handle things or not has nothing to do with age. Although our nephew Xiaoqiang only went to junior high school, he is doing well in the provincial capital now. He can earn more than 4,000 yuan a month and has a girlfriend in the city." The woman at the same table smiled.
"So, my nephew is just stupid in studying." Second Aunt snorted.
When Li Wei came out of the backyard, there was a middle-aged man with a bald and fat man in the teahouse.
"College Jiang?" Li Wei was a little surprised. This was a rare guest in the teahouse.
The middle-aged man waved his hand to the boss and the boss lady who were about to greet him: "I don't drink tea, I'll find someone."
Village Chief Jiang walked to a mahjong table and talked to the card players for a long time. Li Wei saw that it was okay, picked up his mobile phone, and prepared to search for a novel to read.
"Okay, okay, we are not interested in this kind of thing." A man with a gangster suddenly shouted loudly, making everyone in the teahouse look at the table.
Village Chief Jiang laughed and said, "How could that be? In our village, do you guys are famous for playing games?"
"Tsk, we are playing fruit machines, horse racing machines, flop machines, and fishing, okay? What are you talking about? You can gamble for money?" the man said disdainfully.
"Gambling is an illegal act..." Village Chief Jiang wiped his sweat.
A thin man at the same table had tattoos on his arms and said, "I know what you said is called an online game, right? I have played a few of them before, and it was fun at first, but it became boring after playing for a long time. The point is that I don't have money to make, and I will spend a few hundred more dollars on me!"
The village chief quickly said, "But the "Infinite Journey to the West" I mentioned can make money!"
"You pay your salary?" Another person spoke.
"No, I'm making money in the game. I don't understand, but the township leader said that someone in the county has made tens of thousands of yuan a day when playing this game!" Village Chief Jiang said excitedly.
"Haha, there is such a good thing, don't you play with it yourself?" said the tattooed man.
"Me? I am the village chief. Is it appropriate to play games?" the village chief said with a righteous look on his face.
"Besides, I can't play either." He then sighed again.
A blond-haired gangster on the table vomited a smoke ring: "I still remember when I was a child, I played 'hero face cute' in an Internet cafe. My dad dragged it out and almost beaten to death, so it's better to play cards, no one cares about it."
The village chief choked a few times by cigarettes and couldn't help but say angrily: "It's okay to say it, right? You have some reason to bet on it. I'll go to the police station to expose it!"
"College Jiang, Village Chief Jiang, please calm down and talk about it if you have something to do." Uncle Li quickly left the table and ran over to hand over the cigarette.
The village chief snorted: "It's not a political task sent by the village. I asked me to organize at least ten people to play the game "Infinite Journey to the West". I ran in the village for a few days, and after all, I had to get seven, so I had to come to the town to find someone."
The second uncle smiled and said, "Now young people are working outside, so it is not easy to find people in the village... Wait, what do you say, playing games has become a political task?"
The village chief sighed: "Yes, the outside world is changing too fast, and I, an old guy, can't keep up with the times. The new female townsman is a college student, so I'll think of some inexplicable tricks."
"No matter how good a college student is, it can't be too outrageous, right? Encourage playing games?" The teahouse started to talk.
"Actually, this is normal. The country announced last year that it would include the virtual gaming industry in GDP calculations." Li Wei suddenly interrupted.
"Yes, it's just to increase GDP, so the township specially equipped each village with ten game equipment, 20,000 per unit!" Village Chief Jiang shook his head repeatedly.
The second uncle glanced at Li Wei: "Do you still understand this?"
Li Wei said: "I read the news every day. In fact, internationally, SNA2025 version has included virtual game output in the accounting scope. The United States, Japan and Europe have started to use this standard to calculate GDP since 2027, so our GDP ranking will fall to fourth place in the world. This year, the country decided to align with the international community and start calculating game output..."
"Okay, needless to say, you are... Xiaowei, right? You know what you know, just help me and take a game place." Village Chief Jiang was overjoyed.
Li Wei was stunned for a moment: "I just love to read news, I have never played online games."
"There is no young man who doesn't play games. Let's go, it's you!" The village chief grabbed Li Wei.
"Wait, wait, Village Chief Jiang, take Li Wei away, what should I do with this teahouse?" Uncle Li Er was stunned.
"How much can you do in this small teahouse? The couple is enough!" Village Chief Jiang pulled Li Wei and ran away.
"Li Wei, when you come back, you really want to play games!" Uncle Li Er shouted loudly from behind.
Li Wei was led and ran away a little confused, but he didn't resist, because deep down, he had always wanted to change the environment. He lived a very unhappy life in his second uncle's teahouse.
Second aunt shouted from behind: "I knew this kid was unpromising! Nothing can last for long!"
Li Wei's heart suddenly became heavier.
At this moment, the village chief called a motorcycle, pulled Li Wei into the car, and drove out of the town to the village.
It took Li Wei a long time to wake up slowly: "College Jiang, how much is your salary per month for this job?"
The village chief said, "There is no dead salary, it depends on your ability. How much you earn in the game is all yours!"
Li Wei said blankly: "That is, there is no guarantee?"
"Well, Xiao Li, you have to liberate your mind. This is not about working. Township Mayor Song said that this is a new form of entrepreneurship. Do you understand if you are going to be a boss?" said the village chief.
Li Wei said oh, thinking about it, "There seems to be a similar saying on TV these days. A gaming device is equivalent to a factory and a store... Wait, that seems to be an advertisement for a game company?"
