Fuqing, the son of Chen Shouting, paraded in the street. Before he left, Zhou Caiqin gave him 1 cent to buy two biscuits at noon. According to the current market price, a baked wheat cake costs 1 yuan. In other words, an ocean is equivalent to 200 yuan now.
My partner needs 2.7 meters to buy me a cotton-padded jacket, about 200 yuan. The price of cotton cloth in Chen Shouting is 65,438+0.51foot. It takes me 8 feet to make a suit, and it costs 1 ocean 20 cents, which is equivalent to 1.2 ocean, which is about 200 yuan.
From this, we can generally realize that an ocean during the Republic of China was probably the current RMB in 200 yuan, which was not too small at most.
In this way, I have some basic understanding of the prices in the Republic of China.
For Zhoucun and Zhangdian land, the better land price is per mu 12 yuan, and the worse land price is per mu 1600-2400 yuan in 8 yuan.
When Chen Shouting first arrived in Qingdao, he was wandering on the road and met a rickshaw puller. The rickshaw driver said that he would give a guest twenty cents, even at the beginning of the first day. Chen Shouting gave him a dime, and that day he earned 12 cents. His monthly income should be three dollars. Today, he earns a monthly income in 600 yuan. A few days ago, my friend came to Beijing, and the motorcycle price was 3 yuan/time. If he takes 8 8- 10-0 guests a day, his monthly income will be about 600-800. It is similar to the income of ancient drivers. Senior technicians in Shanghai pay 5 yuan a month, which is now 1000, which is really disrespectful to talents. After Chen Shouting dug them up in Jinan, he paid each of them 30 yuan, which is about 6,000 yuan now.
After the Paris peace talks, the students opposed the cession of Qingdao to Germany. Chen Shouting took the opportunity to make an advertisement and spent 5 yuan to entertain reporters. At today's market price, a high-end New Year's Eve dinner for 10 people and 8 people is about 1 0,000 yuan.
From this, we can calculate the prices of other high-end goods. Shen Yuanyi went from Shenyang to Qingdao to look for General Huo Changhe. At that time, the clothes he was wearing were bought for 300 yuan, worth 60 thousand yuan, which was really expensive, but he was pawned by the coachman 1.5, which is 300 yuan.
When Chen Shouting's Hong Ju Dyeing Factory opened in Jinan, Bai Zhisheng, the leader of Qinghong Gang, asked for 300 yuan of ocean protection fee every month, that is, 60,000 yuan, which was worthy of being a private tax bureau. No wonder Chen Shouting tried his best to confront him?
Of course, the value of some things is quite different from what it is now. In order to know the temperature of water when dyeing cloth, Chen Shouting bought six thermometers, each of which cost $3, which is now about RMB 600 yuan. Things are rare, thermometers were rare at that time, and only Germany could make them. Later, Chen Shouting bought a basket of squid every day and put it in the workshop. Judging the water temperature according to the rolling degree of squid. It is estimated that a basket of squid costs about 30 Jin, a dime. Now I want to buy 20 Jin squid, and the price should be around 150 yuan. It seems that the price of seafood is much higher than before. It is estimated that there was a lot of seafood at that time, and almost no one ate it.
There are also some things that are a bit outrageous. For example, someone goes to the local ruffian Bai Zhisheng's drugstore to buy cold medicine, and a box of cold medicine costs 6 yuan. When have we seen 1200 yuan a pack of cold medicine?
Shen Yuanyi's storytelling hall charges 50 yuan per hour, which is equivalent to 1 ten thousand yuan. This is really outrageous. Now go to a karaoke bar to sing, and 200 yuan will be better.
How much did Chen Shouting earn? We might as well make a rough calculation.
Master Lu spent 10,000 yuan to buy Dahua Dyeing Factory, including a brand-new Heidelberg printing machine and a new factory building. If converted into the current price, it should be 2 million yuan. Master Lu said that Chen Shouting has built three factories a year and is going to buy new machines. Chen Shouting bought a new machine, and the Japanese offered 40,000 yuan. In this way, Chen Shouting earned 70,000 yuan in the first year, equivalent to140,000 yuan. Later, when I bought his factory in Japan, Chen Shouting cheated Fujii, and Fujii spent 6.5438+0.4 million, which is the current level of 28 million.
Chen Shouting made a fortune from the cloth on Japanese ships. As Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces, it was necessary to use Qingdao's merchant ships to transport rations, and students boycotted Japanese goods. Fujii's original value 15000 pieces of 77 yuan's cloth, 35 yuan was eaten by Chen Shouting, and 56 yuan sold it to Jinan 3 100 pieces, making a net profit of 2 1 10,000, equivalent to 42 million now. Chen Shouting made a fortune with empty gloves.
When Chen Shouting moved to Jinan, he gave Lu Jiaju a check. Lu Jiaju said that he has received 800,000 to 900,000 in these years. At the beginning of the partnership, both parties had an agreement, with Chen Shouting accounting for 60% and Lu Jiaju accounting for 40%. Counting, Chen Shouting's property is 65.438+500,000 yuan, equivalent to 300 million yuan now. Chen Shouting moved to Jinan one year after the September 18th Incident, which should be 1932, until 1937 when the Japanese army occupied Jinan. His business career was five years. There is no specific record of all his property in the book. The last time he imported grey cloth from Shanghai, the total amount was 30 thousand pieces, which coincided with the fall of Qingdao and the car went to Xuzhou. Lin was afraid that the grey cloth would fall into the hands of the Japanese, so he stopped the goods through relations. The price of grey cloth given by Lin is per 67 yuan. The total price of grey cloth of this car is more than 2 million yuan, which is now 400 million yuan. No wonder Lin said in fear: If this car falls into the hands of the Japanese, Brother Liu's life's hard work will be all over. This should be two-thirds of Chen Shouting's wealth. As an enterprise, it is not surprising that besides leaving a small amount of working capital and paying wages, it spends all its money on buying raw materials.
On the whole, the total assets of Chen Shouting should be around 3 million yuan, which is equivalent to the current price level. If today, Chen Shouting's total assets are 600 million yuan.
