Advertised: fire marshal / track security at 1,000 RMB a day.
What actually showed up on the Shanghai grid: 60 RMB a day.
Same job. Same uniform. Same extinguisher they couldn’t open.
The 940 RMB didn’t vanish. It got eaten by the usual Chinese supply chain: main contractor → subcontractor → labor agency → another agency → the uncle who ran toward the fire.
When a Ferrari turns into a furnace, you don’t get the 1,000-RMB version. You get whoever is left after every middleman takes a cut.
Chinese netizens: “60 kuai a day and you want him to pull a driver out of a burning GT3? His wage is cheaper than the extinguisher.”
That’s not a staffing error. That’s the business model.
