Chapter 239: The Wind
Within a week after the Spring Festival, the window of the Luo family's small kitchen was patched.
A wooden bed with bunk beds was also moved into Ning Weimin's hut.
Twenty-two-year-old Luo Guangliang not only has a stable place since then.
I also have an individual license and my own tricycle.
He truly turned a new page in his life.
Of course, no one was born wanting to be a tricycle driver.
Because this is a job that has always been called "hard and tiring" by the people of Beijing.
There is no technical content and no future.
Even if he has worked to the top, in the eyes of others, he is still a stinky cart.
To tell the truth, Luo Guangliang, who is a champion seedling, would have gone blind and become an alternative element disliked by society.
No matter how strong he is, he doesn't have the strength to go out, and I'm afraid he won't join this business where he can't see the bright light in front of him.
But then again, misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking.
God often closes one door and opens another window for you.
Until the last minute, it's hard to know whether you're losing or winning.
Take, for example, this pedal tricycle.
Who would have thought that in today's year, this industry, which has existed in the capital for decades and is not at all inconspicuous, has become a good business for daily income and silver.
This isn't nonsense, it's true.
First of all, the social environment, urban construction and economic development are making great strides, and the demand for logistics is naturally growing rapidly.
Under the objective condition of lack of motor vehicles, our society has no choice but to rely on human-powered tricycles to maintain the normal logistics needs of the city.
That is to say, it is the golden age of this backward logistics method.
In addition, unlike in the past, the economic system has also undergone new changes.
Because since the educated youth returned to the city, the state had to let go of the policy in order to solve the employment problem.
And from the day of the approval of the self-operated license.
The government has given individual businesses who are willing to do their own business with low tax rates and full freedom.
So the tricycle drivers who run the single gang at the moment are really not the same thing as the state-run tricycle drivers.
When it comes to income, it can make a world of difference.
Don't believe it, you know, the country has actually formulated a unified standard for the freight rate of tricycles in this year.
It is stipulated that the freight in each area within the second ring road is one piece of five.
Passenger transport by one person eight cents, by two people one piece four.
Between the second and third ring roads, each area has eight pieces of freight.
Passenger transport is a dollar for one person, and eight for two people.
The price per kilometer outside the Third Ring Road is one piece per kilometer of freight.
Passenger transport costs six cents per kilometer for one person and one dollar for two people.
This pricing standard is obviously dead and untouchable for the state-run crane company.
But it's not the same for individual tricycle drivers.
They have full flexibility in their asking price.
If they compete with state-run tricycles, they can bargain for jobs.
If you want to run into a customer in distress, you don't know the situation of the "mallet".
They can also take advantage of the trend to raise the price and slaughter it fiercely.
Second, because one is self-reliant in drought and flood, the enthusiasm for labor is completely different.
The tricycle driver of the state-owned lifting cooperative, the state caretakes, the old and the sick and died, and the wages are all dead.
They are generally assigned by the crane companies they are affiliated with, and most of them cooperate with warehouses and stores.
Basically, two trips a day, you can earn a salary ranging from thirty to fifty.
Their only chance to earn some living money.
It is to wait for the rabbit in the lifting company, waiting for the occasional person who needs to use the car to find it.
But it's not much to run.
The big head has to be handed over to the public, and he can basically drink a lot of money.
Therefore, most of the tricycle drivers affiliated with the lifting company are comfortable.
I never had the motivation to find a job on my own.
After these people finish their routine work every day, they almost soak in the door of the lifting company and do not move.
Everyone holds a big tea jar in their hands, holds a cheap cigarette in their mouths, and gathers together to talk about the mountains and slip their tongues.
Or find a place to play chess and poker.
On the other hand, the individual tricycle drivers are all masters who see and listen to all directions.
Whether it's day or night, they have to find out where to find money.
Where is the work, no matter how much work you go, it's not too much.
Some people are good at detours, some are good at bluffing, and some people are good at holding back the fat work of foreigners and outsiders.
Everyone shows their abilities, the eight immortals cross the sea, and they dare to do any trick in order to make more money.
Perhaps because of his good tutoring, Luo Guangliang is more colorful in it.
He belongs to one of the few real people, and he follows the path of Dora's fast running.
He doesn't pick much work, whether he pulls people or goods, when someone asks him, he pulls.
He also goes to the hard work that others don't like to go, anyway, he just doesn't like to be idle.
Sometimes I also wait for the last train at the train station at night, just to earn more.
Even if he suffers a little on the surface, others laugh at him.
Everyone thinks he is as stupid as Xiangzi played by Zhang Fengyi in the movie just released this year.
He also enjoyed it.
Because in fact, he earns no less than anyone else, and even quite stable.
At least a little twenty dollars can be put into his pocket every day, which is worth a quarter of the salary of a serious industrial worker.
So to put it bluntly, the individual tricycle driver in this year is a pig sitting on the tuyere.
At a time when most people in society still can't pull their faces down to do this.
It can guard the treasure of the Beijing Railway Station or the long-distance bus station.
It also has the freedom of pricing and low tax rates.
There is no doubt that the right time, the right place and the right people have all taken possession.
If this is not profitable, then who else can make money?
Objectively speaking, in addition to being particularly physically demanding, undignified, and unable to earn foreign exchange coupons.
Their income is almost as good as that of a taxi driver
As for their role in this city, it is indeed very similar to the "yellow-faced" that became popular in Beijing and Tianjin in the early 90s.
It's really a hidden little rich man.
Otherwise, how could a new word start to pop up at the moment?
Ban'er Ye!
Listen, even a three-wheeled driver has become a rich man.
This is the best way to reflect the differences between the old and new societies.
Needless to say, Luo Guangliang entered this industry by mistake, which can be regarded as catching the dividends of the times with a bowl.
Like the cook who runs the greenhouse and the carpenter who makes furniture, he has become the most needed person in the society of this era.
As a result, his life became more and more energetic, and he hardly had a full day of rest at home.
Why?
It's just because I have tasted the sweetness of life! Money is so easy to earn!
Whether it is the work such as the train station, the casual work he met on the road, or the sweet work that Ning Weimin entrusted to him from his colleagues at the Chongwenmen Hotel.
Luo Guangliang is willing to do it, he is addicted to earning money.
Not to mention that little car, let him earn it in a day.
Just went back to the whole car, and he didn't go beyond half a month.
From then on, the borrowed money was repaid, and Ladora was all his own, and he relaxed at once.
If you feel comfortable, you will be more kind to people, and you will be more comfortable and proud of pulling the car.
From this time on, Luo Guangliang's heart became even greater.
If this continues, he thinks that in two years, at most, he will be able to achieve four modernizations in his home.
They are all people with parents and fathers, and of course he doesn't want to watch his own mother wash clothes by hand anymore.
He naturally wanted his father to replace the dozen "Mao San'er" with bottled wine.
Besides, he has an older brother, sister-in-law and little nephew, and he has to start a family himself.
In a word, poor and afraid!
Youtou is stronger than anything else, and he really doesn't spare his strength.
What do you have to do if you are busy and tired? The strength is a minion, and you will come back when you run out!
As he sweated profusely and pedaled down the road, he saw his peers who had nothing to do.
There was no envy in his heart, only rejoicing.
His mind and heart were now full of the words that Kang Shude and Ning Weimin had told him.
That's right! There are always times when a person encounters difficulties!
The important thing is not to abandon or give up, and to firmly believe in life that everything can get through!
He believes, he really believes, that the day when he will be accepted by his family will not be too far away!
