From early morning on Hai Thinh beach (Nam Dinh), there were dozens of fishermen leading the sea. This is a job that helps people have the main source of income for the family. The job of the players who don and rake depends on the country. Big countries go a little later, sometimes until after 1pm to end. The tool for scratching is a 5-7 meter long tattoo, the base of the tattoo is attached with a razor neatly in a rectangular iron frame so that it can be inserted deep into the sand and move more easily. Despite the hardship, but for 40 years, Mr. Tuy has not given up a day except when he is sick. Scratching places are usually sandy beaches on the sea with a depth of 0.5-1m above sea level. The person who rakes with one hand holds the bamboo handle, the other hand resting on the waist with a recoil. Average raking is 15-20 meters a time calculated about 10km per session and soak in sea water continuously for 6 hours. If locating, the fishermen have to immerse themselves in the sea water, while for the claw don, they will have to bow down to dig from under the sand layers. Fishermen have to use small shovels to flip up the sand and sea soil to dig. Don is shaped like a bottle but smaller so you have to look closely to see. The don season peaks from May to June Due to direct contact with water and sea soil, the legs and hands of the rake fishermen have many wrinkles and pale skin. The donation bucket accompanies the fishermen every raking session If they are lucky, each day fishermen can earn from 300-500 thousand VND. On days when the weather is not favorable, we can only scratch a little and we have to go home. Don will be cleaned by fishermen for processing and consumption The fresh pawns cost 30-50 thousand VND / kg and are very popular with the people. Since the donation, the donation has a value, the job of rake and donation attracts more people to do and less and less.

From April 1, lottery ticket sellers in the South have their commission cut. Before being cut, they will earn 1,100 VND for each lottery ticket sold, but from the beginning of April until now, they only get 1,050 VND, while the effort is still so hard.

50 dong that the lottery ticket seller lost, was “run” to the agent’s pocket.

On average, every day, in Ho Chi Minh City, a lottery ticket seller must be extremely hard-working and hard-working, to sell 200 tickets. With the loss of 50 VND per sheet, now their income is lost 10,000 VND per day, the monthly spending is 300,000 VND.

In Ho Chi Minh City, there are about 100,000 people selling lottery tickets like that. Multiply by the amount of 300,000 VND each month that they lose, is the corresponding amount that the agent has added: about 30 billion VND. Obviously, the number would be even larger than that, if the whole South was combined.

So, who tried to eat more from the sales of the lottery ticket sellers? Agent level 2, level 3 said that due to the above. “Above” means tier 1 agent or lottery company. But the lottery company says it does not increase the selling price, does not adjust the commission. With the available data, we understand that the problem arises from the tier 1 agent.

The adjustment of the tier 1 agent affects the revenue of the 2nd and 3rd agent. In order to preserve their profit before, the 2nd and 3rd agent fling to the thin shoulders of the ticket sellers. number of strolls. These weak people suffer.

Coming here, not intentionally insulting, but I have to say that the lottery sellers like a donkey carrying things up the slope, when they are too tired, they just need to squeeze more shirts, they will kneel. When the donkey is unable to wake up, the owner must himself, or find another way to bring things home, while if they take the trouble to bring the shirt, it will not be in that situation.

More than anyone, it is the agents who understand that the profits they get are from the lottery ticket sellers, if the agents cannot share them, they should not pour it all on the shoulders of the lottery sellers. stroll. The payout, the seemingly wasted profit, is just the product of their greedy thoughts.

I suddenly remembered the story of yesterday, on the bank of Thi Nghe canal, at a sidewalk restaurant where I used to have lunch. A 78-year-old woman from Long An came to Ho Chi Minh City to sell lottery tickets, stopped at a restaurant, and she sat across from me. I said that the owner of the shop would pay the grandmother’s part of the meal, two plates cost 50 thousand dong, or 25 thousand dong each.

But then, the shopkeeper gave the old woman 20 thousand dong. It turns out, up until now, the shopkeeper has only taken money for his meal, or other lottery ticket sellers, has 5 thousand dong for a plate of rice. The old lady seemed shy, and only relieved when I told her to keep that small amount of money.

To the lottery ticket sellers, 10 thousand is an amount of money that they have to work hard to get, and it is also a relative expenditure of their already reserved need.

I really do not understand why the poor, like the story I just told above, try to share each other, then the lottery agent is trying to redeem the extra money that the lottery ticket seller can only get. . Even more confusing, when it comes to reiterating that, the agents know that the revenue they get is thanks to the people selling lottery tickets.

So when they further tore apart the results of the lottery ticket sellers, not only were they greedy, but also ruthless.

And I think the lottery companies have to do something, but can’t say it’s not me as if they could not be, because after all, the lottery companies themselves are fed by the hard work of lottery ticket sellers.

Especially in the context, the sales and profits of lottery companies are constantly increasing!
