Chapter 25: Unequal Treaties!

Before he was reborn, He Zilong had worked everywhere from all over the country and had seen a lot of the world.

Speaking of taxi drivers, I remember that when I was working in Shanghai, I met a lot of retired and still working taxi drivers. In the chat, I heard them say so.

In the nineties of the last century, taxi drivers in Shanghai were a high-income class.

At its best, in the mid-to-late 90s, Volkswagen raised its taxi service to a level second only to Tokyo. At that time, the taxi drivers and masters had white gloves, uniforms and suits every day, and changed white car covers every day, and the cars were also cars that had just been launched.

At that time, there was no navigation, the drivers were each living map, and the penalties for detours were strict. Volkswagen's masters cherish this job very much, and Volkswagen's service benchmark has become the object of imitation by other taxi companies, pulling the taxi service level in Shanghai to a height that is very inconsistent with China's national conditions.

Drivers only recruited people with Shanghai hukou, and later because they made less money, the locals were unwilling to do it, so they had to relax the standards. Out-of-towners were allowed to work as taxi drivers, and then the quality of service dropped significantly. (The main reason is that there are suddenly more black cars, which also reflects that everyone is gradually getting rich)!

Of course, the benefit of the cattle ratio is that the income is high. You can earn about 10,000 yuan a month, or even 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month, not counting foreign exchange papers. So much so that back then, a taxi driver in Shanghai married a daughter-in-law who was either a flight attendant or a big model!

Because he has relatives in CS City, from childhood to adulthood, He Zilong often goes to the provincial capital city of CS City to play. Even during school holidays, I will live there for a long time, and sometimes I don't even go back to Chalin County during the Chinese New Year. After all, big cities are fun!

He clearly remembered that it seemed to be like a bus ride for one yuan a long time ago. The taxi industry in big cities has long been starting at two yuan for vans and three yuan for car taxis.

And taxis work in two shifts, almost twenty-four hours a day, with two people in rotation. In this way, the industry has just risen and has prospects for development. At the end of the day, you can earn two or three hundred yuan from the starting price alone. Calculate the extra kilometer money, deduct insurance, fuel money, and other miscellaneous expenses, isn't it easy to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month?

It seems that what the third uncle said is reliable!

If nothing else, a few years later, didn't Chalin County also start to have vans as taxis? Although the income is not as high as that of drivers in big cities, it is much better than working in a unit. At that time, the number of new taxi drivers every day was amazing, and they all borrowed money to buy cars, learn to drive, and get a driver's license.

Even if taxis are saturated later, and the county is no longer approving taxi driver's licenses. Those who learned to drive and were able to borrow money to buy a car, and later changed careers to become long-distance bus drivers, also had a good income.

The nineties can be said to be the golden age of drivers, to say that the difficulty, the difficulty is whether you can drive, whether you have a car, or whether you have money, whether you can borrow money to buy a car. Get a taxi license!

And these, obviously the third uncle is ready and has found a good relationship. Just wait for the car to arrive and start work, otherwise you won't be in such a hurry!

After all, it is difficult to find new cars on the market with a six-percent discount, and it is difficult for you to mix with old cars. Of course, there are also people who drive black cars, but the third uncle is a person with a unit, so he can't do this.

The persuasion and explanation of the third uncle Chen Aijun continued, according to him, after he officially started work.

At that time, he needed to pay 1,800 yuan a month to the company in a management fee, and 40 yuan a day of oil was enough, and there was no trouble with traffic jams. He is too familiar with the streets of CS City, and it is the best place to do this. On the side of the unit, just leave your job without pay!

One day I was too tired to do it, so I sold the car, selling both the car and the license plate, that is, the right to rent. Absolutely no loss!

He Zilong nodded again and again, indeed, the taxi license plates in major cities in later generations have been up to 16-200,000, and the first-tier cities have reached a higher level. It's worth more than that taxi!

Now there are fewer taxis, and the license plate doesn't cost much, and if you want it later, it's really only hehe, hehe, hehe.

Even in 2001, taxi drivers were still a profession that people envied, with a stable and high income, free time, and a family car when family cars were not popular, and it was very face-saving and practical to have a car at home.

Even in 2018 and 2025, taxi drivers will still be a good income group in big cities. Of course, it wasn't the middle class back then!

"Fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law...... I, Chen Aijun, have finished my words, I hope that this win-win situation, you can really help the third brother. Her parents have some opinions about me and Wanqing. The main reason is that I am worried that my unit will not last long and will not be able to give Wanqing happiness. While I am still young, I want to work hard, so to speak, my marriage with Wanqing will be successful or not. It's a big variable, it depends on whether you help or not!"

After Chen Aijun finished the last sentence, he clenched his girlfriend's hand, then turned his head and looked at He Zilong's parents with a sincere expression. Wu Wanqing also had an expectant expression!

The scene was frozen here for a while, looking at the expression of He Zilong's father He Sanguo, with He Zilong's understanding of his father, to be honest, he must be in his heart now that he is opposed and agreed, and he is very entangled. I can't make up my mind, so I can only be silent to cold the scene!

It was He Zilong's mother, Chen Aihua, who picked up the IOU and looked left and right. She really wanted to sign her name and agree, and the third brother took care of her very much since she was a child, and it was the first time she begged her so much when she grew up. It's just that this matter is big after all, if you don't take care of your husband's thoughts and decide privately, I'm afraid that it will lay hidden dangers for future discord in the family.

Suddenly, He Sanguo turned his head and looked at He Zilong, who had not spoken, as if he was only interested in eating melon seeds.

"Zilong, you can also express your opinion. After all, you won the lottery for the car, and we can't be sure about it, whether it will be successful or not, you didn't have a lot of ideas yesterday, and today you can talk about it, oh no, you have the final say......"

Every important moment, temporary workers are about to appear, I am a black pot man?

"Oh...... If you want me to say, then borrow it. Anyway, Dad, you can't drive, and even if you keep one at home, you won't need it. The third uncle said that he wanted to drive a taxi, and I think it is reliable. Last year, when I was playing at my second aunt's house, I went downstairs to a farther place, and my second aunt and her two took a taxi to travel. It costs more than five dollars every time, and sometimes it takes a long time for a car to get a ride. This line of work should have a good future!"

Finally, now that he has a weight to speak at home, He Zilong naturally won't trick people. Answer the truth from the facts!

Yes, a family of three and two people agree, what else can they say. So be it!

"Okay...... Third brother, we accepted this IOU, and that's it. He Zilong's father, He Sanguo, took the IOU from his wife, and as the head of the family, he picked up the pen and signed his name heavily. I pressed a red handprint again!

Everyone in the room had a smile on their faces for a while.
