Chapter 131: Spending Money Buys Time
As the saying goes, an inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time. Qi Jingtao is now a person with a few small amounts of money, but he really doesn't have so much spare time to learn a car driver's license, since he can buy a car driver's license with money, he can spend money to buy the most precious time. Time can be bought with money, and in his opinion, it is really worth it.
When it comes to taking a car driver's license, it's really no wonder that Qi Jingtao, who is no longer an ordinary person, is unwilling to take the normal road to get it, so he has to go crooked and spend money to buy a regular driver's license.
In these days, it is not easy for normal people to sign up for a car driver's license seriously. Needless to say, staying up time, delaying work, and wasting money, those driving school car instructors are not very friendly.
Sign up for a car driving school to complete your studies and get a full car license. Needless to say, the waiting time in line after registration is definitely urgent. Because in the entire central Yunnan City, there is only one car driving school, and there is no other branch.
Even when the queue arrived, it was time to start studying. Under normal circumstances, it will take more than three months for the trainees to complete the first training before they can have the opportunity to get a car driver's license.
However, most of the people who need to get a driver's license for a car license, except for those who need a driver's license for their profession or survival, have a regular job. Where do people who work in the workplace have so much complete time to learn how to drive a car? Most of the students take advantage of their breaks, or sneak out to practice during work hours. In this way, the study period is longer, and it is common to get a car driver's license in half a year or even a year.
In order to make it easier for those difficult car instructors to do their own work, in order to get a car driver's license as soon as possible, they can ask those coaches to sacrifice their personal time to teach when they have time. The trainees had to find another way. How to communicate and coordinate is the business of the students. It is inevitable to give all kinds of benefits to coaches who sacrifice their personal time to come out to sparring. After all, people have sacrificed, and the trainees still have overtime allowance for working overtime in their own units? Therefore, the money spent is not a small amount.
In fact, if you just learn a car driver's license, is it really that difficult? Car driving is not very technical, and people with sound limbs can learn it. The key is whether those who hold a car driver's license in their hands have a sense of safe driving in their hearts. Just like Master Du He said, keep the traffic laws in mind, be bold and careful, and just be polite and driving.
The basic operation skills of car driving, Qi Jingtao has practiced several times under the guidance of Master Du He, and he has already become very proficient, and he has played decently. He doesn't dare to play without a license, if he has a driver's license in hand, it's good to run on the road more, how big is it?
Doesn't it mean that he has a driver's license recognized by the country? No matter how he got it, he just needs a legal and regular driver's license. In recent years, there have been many people driving without a license. As long as there is no bad luck and a big accident, the traffic police uncle will only increase the fine.
Su Min was also tossed miserably this time, and he couldn't wait for Qi Jingtao to be able to drive immediately. When I went to work the next day, I immediately called Shen Yong to contact the relevant matters. On the third day, Shen Yong informed Qi Jingtao to sign up for the written test for a car driver's license, and the time was just right, so he could register for the test now.
Qi Jingtao has taken a motorcycle driver's license, and he talks about motor vehicle driving traffic laws and regulations, which are all similar. The written test is a play for Qi Jingtao, not to mention that he also read the textbooks before the exam, not to mention that he just went through the motions, and naturally cleared the customs smoothly.
There seems to be a special case for Chinese people to do things, and the written test ends at noon. In the afternoon, Qi Jingtao and Shen Yong met at an economic snack. Qi Jingtao gave Shen Yong a copy of his motorcycle driver's license and ID card, and spent 45 yuan for a small meal. Leave a thick envelope behind, and go home what to do.
At the end of August, Qi Jingtao's application system has been mastered by users, and there are dozens of business points that need to be entered into basic data, and other user terminals are management users who mainly query and use system data. After almost two months of use, the business personnel got started quite smoothly.
The system began to get on the right track, and there were naturally fewer things, and Qi Jingtao could finally take a breath and take a few days to take leave to accompany his family to the capital.
Now, the car driver's license is also eyebrow-up, and Qi Jingtao is interested in collecting car information. At present, the number of private cars in central Yunnan is still very rare. Most of the cars running on the streets are the buses of government agencies, enterprises, and institutions. There are very few pure private cars, and the brands of private cars are mainly Alto, and a limited number of brands such as Skylark, Xiali, Beverly, Jetta, and Santana.
Qi Jingtao has investigated and understood the automobile market in central Yunnan, and found that there are really few models to choose from in the automobile market, and the price of cars is very expensive. There are only two or three models with a price tag of less than 100,000 yuan, Alto, Xiali, and Lada. The cheapest Alto SC7080 is priced at 71,000 yuan. If you pay according to the salary, a small Alto will also cost him seven or eight years' salary.
Qi Jingtao also went to see the Santana 2,000 he told Su Min, with a price tag of 195,000 yuan. This Santana 2000 is already a mid-range official car in central Yunnan City, and private cars are rare.
During this period, some employees in the group company also drove private cars to and from work, such as Alto, Xiali, Jetta, Santana, and Fukang, but the number was very limited. The popularity of motorcycles is very high, almost everyone has one.
After understanding the current automobile market and the private car ownership of the employees of the group company, Qi Jingtao hesitated again. If you buy a car now, and buy a private car of the Santana 2000 level, isn't it too ostentatious and too dazzling?
In fact, he is a rural college student who has just worked for two years, let alone buying a car or buying a high-end motorcycle, which can attract attention, and will cause others to discuss. After all, everyone's salary income is not high, and cars are still absolutely high-end consumer goods.
During this time, there was a lot of negative news from the upper echelons of the group company, true or false, and the middle and upper echelons were nervous. Qi Jingtao is a staff member of the information center, and his sources and channels are extensive, and he has vaguely heard a lot of information. He didn't want to be in the limelight and attract attention needlessly in this special period.
Wait a minute! Cars are dispensable, not a necessity in his current life. Besides, now my wife has also been found, although she is still driving without a license, there is no traffic police uncle to interfere with this, and it is very safe. It's also good to ride an 80 scooter to and from work, and Su Min is not particularly opposed to riding behind a small 80 to accompany him through the city. This time, the reaction was so intense, and he actively encouraged him to buy a driver's license and a car, I guess he was also excited for a while, and he felt that the loss of face was stimulated, and it would be good to forget it in a few days.
At present, Qi Jingtao still has to hurry up to prepare for going to the capital, after Qi Zhengming and his wife negotiated with several uncles and aunts, the grandmother, who is nearly eighty years old, also agreed to go to the capital to see the holy place in her heart. In this way, the number of people who are ready to enter the capital this time has reached seven, and the grandmother, grandmother, parents, Qi Jingtao and Su Min, two young people, naturally have to accompany them, plus Qi Lin, the protagonist who went to the capital.
The time to go to the capital is scheduled from August 27th to September 1st, a six-day round trip, and it is planned to stay in the capital for five days. The time is not long or short, and it is suitable for the elderly to travel. With such an arrangement, it is just in time for Qi Lin's new students to register, and Qi Jingtao and Su Min, the two people who go to work, do not need to report and ask for a long vacation.
The plan is good, it is reasonable, it is perfect. But how to get there, how to get there?
It's pitiful to say, except for Qi Zhengming, who took the train out of the province twice when he was young, none of the others had a record of leaving the province. Qi Jingtao and Su Min, two young people who have already worked, they both went to university in the provincial capital of Chuncheng, and they have no chance to go out of the province for a business trip, study, or travel after work, and they are completely two standard natives of central Yunnan.
Qi Jingtao wanted to take his grandmother, grandmother, parents and a group of old people to travel with Qi Lin, and he went directly to the capital to visit and travel, he was also confused, and he couldn't figure out the doorway at all.
Seeing that it was already August 23rd, and the specific arrangements for the trip were not yet known, Qi Jingtao was worried. He was embarrassed to tell his colleagues who had gone abroad about this, asking them to help him with his ideas and suggestions, for fear of being made fun of.
I stayed in the office and pondered the map for a long time without figuring out a clue, and returned to the Chunxi community after work, looking at Su Min and Xu Manli, who were cooperating tacitly and preparing dinner in the kitchen with a smile, Qi Jingtao came to the kitchen door and asked depressedly: "What to do?
