Early the next morning, after Chen Yuanyuan woke up, she met the others. After having breakfast in He Yuehua and Grandma He's room, they packed their luggage and went to the lobby to check out together.
After checking out, I saw a stall in the lobby with the words "Welcome to Xiangcheng compatriots" written on it.
Unexpectedly, Guangdong City still took good care of people from Xiangcheng, so a few people walked to the stall.
"Good morning, sir, madam, may I ask if you are new residents in Xiangcheng?" one of the female receptionists asked.
"Yes, where can I go through the registration procedures?" Liu Feiyang asked.
"The whole process is very simple. Just go to the reception desk to submit documents and go through some procedures. These are welcome gifts for you." The female staff took five reusable bags and handed them to several people.
"Thank you, do we need to pay the settlement fee?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
Remember in the last life, everyone who joined the base had to pay supplies worth 500 points first, and also had to pay a certain amount of taxes every month.
"Each resident who joins also has to pay a settlement fee, but because you are an invitee of the Talent Program, you are not exempt. However, in the future, taxes will also be collected every month based on factors such as your occupation, income, and community level. Details There will be documents for your reference then," the female staff member said.
"Okay, thank you. Where is the reception desk?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Leave the hotel and walk to the right for about seven minutes. I'll ask volunteers to take you to the reception desk." After the female staff member said this, she called the boy on the side to come over.
The boy was wearing a thick jacket and looked very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Xukang, just call me Akang." Zhang Xukang greeted several people.
Zhang Xukang led a few people outside. The weather today was not very good. The cold wind and snow made his face hurt. Chen Yuanyuan immediately pulled up the windshield on his face.
"Come here, I'll drive you there." Zhang Xukang led everyone to the sightseeing car nearby. He inserted his resident card into the card slot in front of the driver's seat, and the sightseeing car turned on its lights.
Although the sightseeing car only has a roof and does not block the wind, you don't have to walk in the cold wind, and the 8 seats are quite spacious.
When we arrived at the reception desk, there were about a dozen new residents of Xiangcheng registering and waiting in line. There were also faces in the crowd that we had seen yesterday, but no one we knew.
Zhang Xukang guided everyone to submit the settlement documents they received at the pass.
Locke had already submitted the application form for them when they were in Xiangcheng. After checking their personal information, he entered fingerprints, took photos and signed under the guidance of the staff.
While waiting for the resident card to be produced, Chen Yuanyuan chatted with Zhang Xukang.
It turns out that Zhang Xukang's father is a soldier stationed at the base, and his mother works in a hospital. He usually works as a volunteer to earn some pocket money.
"There is a subsidy of 10 points per hour. Although it is not much, it is too boring to stay at home." Zhang Xukang said.
The points in the base are similar to the currency before the apocalypse, and most jobs pay 30 to 50 points per hour.
However, due to the shortage of supplies, prices will adjust slightly every day, but under official control, you can basically have enough to eat and clothing to wear.
Chen Yuanyuan asked for some details, and Zhang Xukang showed them the Yuechengtong application on his mobile phone.
Yue Cheng Tong can not only be used for daily contact, but also to check the point balance and details.
In addition to some daily expenses, water, electricity, car rental, etc. are also deducted immediately. Chen Yuanyuan noticed that renting a sightseeing car just cost him two points, so she secretly wrote it down.
There are also different mini programs in Guangdong City Tong, including daily prices, appointment services, medical records, official announcements, laws and regulations, application tasks, etc.
It feels a bit like a simplified version of a certain Paypay. Guangdong City is indeed a city of science and technology, and it has come up with such a complete system in the end of the world.
"If you want to transfer points to others, can you just use Yue Cheng Tong?" Chen Yuanyuan remembered that the materials sold to the research institute in Xiangcheng were all recorded in her name, and the points would be given to others.
"To avoid gambling problems, the daily limit for each person is 100 points. If the transaction is less than 1,000, you can take the card face to face with a mobile phone with NFC function. If it is more than 1,000 but less than 10,000, you have to operate it at the machine." Zhang Xukang He pointed to the recharge machine that looked like a subway station.
"What if the amount is larger?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"No matter how large the amount is, we have to do it manually, but there are very few large-value transactions because we don't want to make the gap between the rich and the poor in the base too serious. The handling fees for large-value transactions are very high." Zhang Xukang said.
Zhang Xukang clicked on the handling fee introduction. There is no fee for daily transfers of less than 1,000, but when the total amount exceeds 10,000, a 5% handling fee will be charged, and for transactions above 100,000, it will be as high as 20%.
"Then you can't smoke a lot when buying a house?" Zhang Linlin asked.
"This is for personal payment. If it is an official payment, it will only collect stamp tax, and for store transactions, the tax will be deducted from the merchant." Zhang Xukang said.
"Will the house price be expensive?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"I don't know either. My family lives in a military dormitory. It seems that you can live in a transit room rent-free for three months, but" Zhang Xukang hesitated.
"Isn't it good in the transit room?" Although Chen Yuanyuan didn't plan to live in the transit room, she was also curious about Zhang Xukang's reaction.
"The transit house is close to the second phase housing. It will be very convenient to move there after the second phase Xiangcheng District is built. However, it is next to the incineration area and sewage treatment area. It's okay if there are less people now. There may be some odor when there are more people in the future. ." Zhang Xukang said.
Zhang Xukang didn't know much about buying a house. He only knew that he had to go to the office building to buy it.
He Yuehua borrowed Zhang Xukang's mobile phone to look at various taxes.
"It's quite complicated." He Yuehua said after looking at the tax list.
Income tax, business tax, consumption tax, stamp duty, etc. are all dazzling.
"Fortunately, each person still has a certain monthly tax exemption, so that ordinary people can live a good life." Zhang Xukang said.
Chen Yuanyuan recalled that in her last life, the Guangdong base had not been so detailed, and taxes were basically uniform. She did not expect that in this life it would still be arranged in a decent manner.
A few people looked at the prices in Yue Cheng Tong again. Each item also had a buying and selling price, with a slight difference in between.
Moreover, the supplies are limited in purchase, which avoids the problem of monopoly. However, there are still only a few supplies on the shelves, probably because the new residents have not officially been allowed to move in yet.
"Chen Yuanyuan, He Yuehua, and Xu Zhaodi, please come to window number three." Seeing the machine calling out several people's names, they got up and went over together.
"So you are Grandma Xu, and we have been calling you Grandma He." Zhang Linlin said.
"Hey, my mother-in-law's family was too patriarchal in the past. They didn't take care of me after I got married. Just call me Grandma He." When Grandma He heard Zhaodi's name, she frowned so much that she almost pinched a fly.
Grandma He's original family still consists of four golden flowers: Zhaodi, Pandi, Laidi, and Niandi, so for her, her original family basically doesn't want to go back.
