China in the last century was robbed by foreign powers, but with the unremitting efforts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, they finally drove away the invaders and established our happy new China. However, after the establishment of the new China, Our country has also put a lot of effort into the post-war reconstruction work, and finally ushered in the economic take-off of the motherland in the 21st century. But what you may not know is that in the 1980s, when materials were scarce and the country’s economic strength was limited, most of the materials at that time needed to be purchased with a ticket. Take a Phoenix bicycle at that time, for example. 170 yuan, so some people will inevitably ask, how much is such a wealth at that time equivalent to today? Lets come look.
In China in the 1970s and 1980s, affected by the reform and opening policy, the economy was gradually developing. At that time, the traffic conditions were limited, and the family car seemed to be an unattainable existence. People mostly rely on trains and buses for travel. As the economy gradually improves, there is a trend of pursuing bicycles. You must know that at that time, owning a bicycle of your own was very worthy of face.
At that time, the Phoenix brand bicycle seized the opportunity and quickly occupied the market. It is important to know that the predecessor of the Phoenix brand bicycle first appeared in the end of the Qing Dynasty. With the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the earliest bicycle factory Tongchang Bicycle Company Also fading day by day. In 1958, it returned to the market. With its excellent technology, it regained a place in the market. Later, it also sought trademarks and names from all walks of life. After that, the Phoenix bicycle was born.
After more than ten years of development, the reputation of Phoenix bicycles in the hearts of the people is getting better and better. Affected by the wave of reform and opening up, the people’s wage level has risen slightly compared to before, and generally maintained At about 30 yuan, under the constraints of economic factors, relatively cheap Phoenix bicycles were sought after by many families. You must know that the price of Phoenix bicycles at that time was about 170 yuan. In this way, Phoenix bicycles It takes half a year's income from a family to be able to afford such a bicycle. It is conceivable thatAt the time, those families who could afford the bicycle must be families with relatively high incomes.
So some people will inevitably ask, how much is such a 170 yuan Phoenix bicycle worth now? Converted into an amount, it is actually not much, but if calculated based on the level of consumption, such 170 yuan is comparable to today's tens of thousands of yuan. It is conceivable that this is a lot of wealth. In addition, when buying a car at that time, you still need to buy with a ticket. This undoubtedly increases the value of the Phoenix brand bicycle. To be able to afford such a car requires not only strong financial resources, but also a certain amount of contact, otherwise it is Impossible to buy.
With the development of the times, our country's economy has gradually taken off, but this Phoenix bicycle has gradually faded out of people's vision, and people's previous main means of transportation have gradually been replaced by planes, high-speed rails, etc. Although the bicycle industry is declining and has faded out of the stage of history, it also marks the economic take-off of our country.
