Chapter 937 Unlucky and Lucky Children
America on the other side of the ocean.
As a state close to the Great Lakes, Wisconsin does not have a strong presence.
This is not an economically prosperous area either. The median annual income of middle-class families is only more than 53,000 US dollars, which is still before tax.
If it is calculated after tax, and after deducting any insurance premiums and other messy expenses, basically a person can get 3,000 yuan in his hand, which is considered a very good middle class.
It’s just that the prices of daily necessities in the United States are very cheap. You can buy all the daily necessities your family needs for a week for two to three hundred yuan, so the Engel coefficient is not high.
But as an ordinary family, it is not uncommon to have an income of only one or two thousand dollars a month.
For example, the per capita annual income of New York in the United States in 2018 did not exceed 23,000 US dollars, which is less than 2,000 a month.
Therefore, the residents living in Wisconsin are not as chic as we imagined.
There are really only two most developed regions in the United States.
One is New York City and the other is California.
Thanks to the fact that many wealthy Chinese immigrants immigrated to this place, California has achieved economic prosperity here.
The people living in Wisconsin are basically local residents, and there is not much mobility, so life is relatively monotonous.
But there are still all the commercial facilities here.
Regardless of the fact that 90% of Americans do not have high incomes, they are willing to spend.
After the monthly salary arrives, they immediately change their credit cards, and then continue to use their credit cards... Such days are commonplace for them.
But because of this habit of using money when they have it, and using it when they have no money, it is easy for them to have no money if they encounter an emergency.
Such was the case with the Rillisons, for example.
Yesterday, 16-year-old Rayleighson experienced both the greatest joy and the greatest sorrow in his life.
The greatest sadness is that my father was hit by an out-of-control truck on the way to work, and then the kid abandoned the car and ran away, and he has not been found yet.
But at the same time,
Father's medical treatment could not stop because of this.
Hospitals in the United States treat patients first, then talk about the cost later.
But this does not mean that you can not give without money.
In fact, the cost of hospitals in the United States is ridiculously high. It costs two to three thousand dollars to dispatch an ambulance. Even if the price in Wisconsin is not high, it still costs $2,000 a time.
Not to mention the first aid expenses, treatment expenses, recovery expenses, etc. here, even if there is medical insurance, at least one to twenty thousand dollars at home is barely enough.
But to be honest, their family of three can make a living on weekdays, and they have never heard of savings or anything!
The sum of his parents' whole bodies is only two or three thousand dollars.
For my father's medical expenses, my mother made many phone calls to borrow money, but there was no reply.
Now my mother doesn't go to work, so she can only go to the hospital to watch, otherwise you can't afford to hire a nurse, and no one can take care of her.
When returning home from the hospital last night, Rayleigh saw her mother was wiping her tears, apparently there was nothing she could do.
Rayleighson's greatest joy was that he joined Adidas as a registered member a few days ago and chose to snap up a pair of Shen Huan Championship Limited Edition sneakers, which were the cheapest at $399.
Because he only has more than 400 US dollars, which is the money he managed to save during the two years of winter and summer vacations.
As an avid basketball fan and Shen Huan's fan, Rayleighson just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that when he turned on the computer early yesterday morning, he found that he was actually drawn!
And today he can go to the Adidas store in the city center to pay for the purchase.
In the end, before he could be happy for a long time, the news of his father's car accident came, which greatly affected his joyful state of mind.
He has been thinking since yesterday, should he buy this pair of sneakers, or not?
The family was very short of money, so giving over 400 US dollars to my mother would not help much, but it would definitely help.
But the price of this is that I may lose forever the opportunity to wear the Shen Huan Championship Limited Edition sneakers.
Even if there is another time for Shen Huan to win the championship, I am afraid that he will not be selected by the machine.
As an avid fan of Shen Huan, Rayleighson was very unwilling.
Of course, after careful consideration, Rillison actually has a third way to go.
It was the best way he could think of now.
That is to take the Shen Huan Championship Limited Edition sneakers and sell them online on Ebay or Amazon, which can cost at least 700 US dollars.
$700 does more than $399.
Thinking of this, Rayleighson ate milk and hard bread, then rode his bicycle and rushed to the Adidas store in the downtown area.
Except for New York, the urban areas of the United States are not large.
This is especially true in the city where Rayleigh lives. There are only three or five streets in the urban area, and there are all kinds of shops on them. There are many people during the day, but it looks very deserted at night. It is not as good as some supermarkets near gas stations, Malls and cinemas.
Therefore, many wealthy people do not live around the urban area, but in suburban communities with good law and order.
Rayleighson's home is more than ten minutes' drive from the urban area. After more than 20 minutes of cycling, he arrived at the entrance of the Adidas store.
It was just after ten o'clock in the morning, and there were people coming and going on the street, and there were a lot of people gathered at the gate of Adidas. There were at least a dozen young men, chatting and laughing in twos and threes.
When Rayleighson was parking next to him, a little black came over and asked loudly: Hey, buddy, have you been drawn? I'll buy it in cash here, and I promise you won't suffer any disadvantages!
After all, after working outside for a few years, Rayleighson still has a trick.
He smiled and asked, Who is so lucky? If I want to buy a pair of 399, what would you say the price is?
In the past two days, we have met seven or eight people who came here to pick up the goods, and three of them sold them all. Xiao Hei said quickly, 399 sells for 699, if it is red and gold with rare colors, then add 200 more ... Our selling price is also cheap, just add 100 hard-earned money on top of this!
The profit of 100 yuan is not enough, is it?
Rayleighson felt envious.
I can only save 100 US dollars even if I work for half a year!
However, the price of 699 is not bad. If you sell it on EBAY and Amazon, you have to pay a handling fee, and you can’t earn 300 yuan.
This kind of on-the-spot transaction is quite good.
It's just a pity!
The color he picked was white the most, so maybe that's why he was drawn!
If it was replaced with rarer red and gold, then the chance of winning the bid would be even smaller!
