Chapter 1000: Buying a Radio 1
Feng Qingxue took the conversation that far, and naturally, Old Li and Ye Qing didn’t insist any further and took their leave after leaving the gifts behind.
After seeing them off and returning to the room, Feng Qingxue browsed through the gifts they had brought.
Hmm, not bad, not too cheap nor too expensive, it’s proper and the most important thing is it doesn’t violate any rules.
Both their families are cadres, so they really need to pay extra attention to these matters.
The Li Family brought two tins of Malt essence, two tins of luncheon meat, two jin of candied fruit, and two jin of premium milk candy; for their household, getting these items was no trouble at all and wouldn’t burden their living expenses.
Additionally, there was a radio coupon and a stack of Industrial Coupons pressed on top of the luncheon meat, and they were even Shanghai brand ones.
The coupons and Industrial Coupons are not money; the former is a voucher, while the latter is distributed according to wages, with one Industrial Coupon issued for every ten yuan of salary.
Currently, many industrial goods require both a voucher and Industrial Coupons.
Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang hadn’t bought items that needed Industrial Coupons for a long time, so they had mostly given theirs away.
The Li Family didn’t give money, which doesn’t count as bribery, but it’s well known that coupons and Industrial Coupons are much harder to come by than money. With money but no coupons, he wouldn’t be able to buy what he wanted; without Industrial Coupons, he couldn’t buy industrial products either.
Therefore, many staff members from institutions and units help each other out, taking turns to buy the industrial goods they need.
