Since entering high school, Beibei's pocket money has increased to 80 yuan per month. Although it is not a lot, Beibei already has a certain amount of independent spending power. He can go to a Western restaurant to eat a bowl of pasta for 30 yuan, go to a cafe to drink a cup of mocha coffee for 20 yuan, and then go to the gym to play bowling for an hour or two. Life is really comfortable! But for big things like clothes, shoes, and walkmans, Beibei can only ask her mother for them. But it is undeniable that 15-year-old Beibei has an increasing influence on the entire family's consumption.
“Mom, buy me an electronic dictionary, I want to look up English words!”
“Don’t you have several dictionaries at home?”
“ Using a dictionary is so stupid, so Maomao’s father bought him a handheld computer, which costs more than 2,000 yuan!”
“Okay, I’ll give you 300 yuan.”
"300 yuan is not enough. If I want to buy 'Haoyitong', I have to at least double it, 600 yuan!"
However, with the newly bought Haoyitong, Beibei was a little disappointed. Not happy either.
After entering high school, Beibei suddenly discovered that from what they wore to what they used, almost every classmate in the class owned a lot of famous brands, such as famous pens and famous school bags. "Armed" to the teeth: brand-name watches worth nearly 10,000 yuan, brand-name sneakers worth several thousand yuan, brand-name clothes and pants worth thousands of yuan, and even disposable paper underwear, which costs 20 yuan each, is Nike. The classmates joked that they just had to sell themselves with a famous brand logo!
Only Beibei always wore ordinary clothes that her mother brought when buying goods. Although the other classmates didn't say anything, they were surrounded by people. They are all famous brand "models", and Beibei feels that she is much shorter than others. Famous brands play a special role on middle school campuses. They have been linked to the self-positioning, joys, sorrows, and joys of many students.
Standing in front of the mirror, looking at the boy in the mirror, Beibei felt that something was wrong with him. His hair was neat and his face was clean, but - hey, they say a man relies on his clothes and his saddle. If he wants to be a standard handsome guy, how can he always look like a dry street vendor? Beibei can't stand it anymore. He decided to arm himself from head to toe now - no, no, it should be packaging.
To this end, Beibei has specially formulated a complete self-packaging plan:
◎ Wear a brand-name sportswear, which is the most basic outfit for a standard handsome guy. NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA are the preferred brands. The newer the style, the better, and the bigger the logo, the better. Buy one set of each brand. Calculated at 800 yuan per set, three sets come to 2,400 yuan.
◎ Wear a pair of limited edition imported basketball shoes on your feet. This is a good thing to add a lot of points to yourself. If you want to run, then get a pair of brand-name running shoes. Based on the calculation of 1,000 yuan per pair, two pairs are only 2,000 yuan.
◎ Carry a stylish large cross-body backpack on your shoulders. Not only are textbooks, exam papers, comic books and smelly socks stuffed in it, but of course there is also a diary full of thoughts about the girl you like. . ADIDAS has recently released a new model, which is not expensive, starting at 400 yuan.
◎ The samurai has a sword in his hand, the cowboy has a gun, and the handsome guy has a mobile phone in his waist. The look of rich men in the old era is the deadly weapon for handsome guys in the new era. He raised his head, frowned and said, "Why do people always call me? It's so annoying." After answering, he said "OK" in a serious manner, imitating the movie. If a handsome guy doesn’t pretend to be cool, who can? The mobile phone doesn’t have to be too high-end, 2,000 yuan is enough, but it only needs Nokia and Samsung brands. The mobile phone also has a timing function, which saves the cost of buying a watch.
◎ Prince Charming rides a horse, and of course the handsome guy must have his own mount. I don’t want a bike that’s too old, a bike that’s too stupid, or a bike that’s too new. Even if it's a new car, it needs to be worn out and the rear fenders removed to make it fashionable. Fortunately, the price of bicycles has generally dropped now. An Amini sports mountain bike only costs 800 yuan at most.
The packaging plan has come to an end for the time being, and a standard "famous" handsome guy will be released soon. "My classmates will definitely look at me with admiration." Beibei couldn't wait any longer. She really wished she could just turn around and change into this outfit right away. But after a rough calculation, there were only a few things to buy, but the cost was nearly 10,000 yuan. It's obviously unrealistic to rely solely on your own pocket money, so Beibei can only shamelessly ask her mother for it.
"Mom, pay the bill!" Beibei waved the purchase plan she had just made with a look of peace of mind. Beibei is the only child in the family, and nothing her mother can do will make him suffer. As long as the family has conditions for Beibei's request, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, they must find ways to satisfy it. Beibei has been well fed, clothed, used, and played since he was a child. For his growth, his mother did not hesitate to endure hardships and hardships. Unexpectedly, Beibei has become accustomed to it. She neither cares about the family's financial ability nor understands her parents' difficulties. She feels that life is like this, and that brand-name consumption is normal and her parents' money can be spent casually.
Isn’t it? Summer vacation is coming soon, and Beibei is thinking about the ten-day trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand again.
“Last summer vacation, Maomao’s father took him to Australia and took many beautiful videos. Another classmate went to Egypt and took a photo with the Sphinx. The worst thing is I went to Phuket and took a luxury cruise. I am the only one who has never even flown on a plane!”
My mother thought about it. The family was financially stressed recently, and Beibei The travel plan can only be put on hold temporarily. Now that I am finally better off, I am busy with the business in the store all day long, and I have really neglected Beibei.
“If you do well in the final exam, I will take you to Beidaihe.”
“That’s too stingy!”
“What about Jiuzhaigou? ”
“It’s not great, at least it should be a ten-day trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.”
“Okay, okay, but you must take the exam well.”
In this way, even though Beibei’s final exam score was still the last in the class, the 3,500 yuan ten-day trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand allowed him to successfully realize his wish to fly.
