Chapter 694: Old Martin's Profession (Plus More)

ps: Thank you book friend Lao Yang for passing by for a reward, and add another chapter. Uh, I still owe a few other book friends to add more, and I'll make it up tomorrow。。。。。。 One by one。。。。。。

Martin explains: "It's true that I'm a member of the Stars and Stripes Trucking Union, but I'm not working for a permanent employer, and trucking is just a part-time job for me. ”

Stars and Stripes have a wide variety of trade unions, and because they represent the rights and interests of employees, they are the most troublesome employer in all industries, and the same is true for truck unions.

The truck union is a very strong organization, the purpose is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of drivers, for example, the driver on the road when the police stopped, if there is an objection to the police's penalty, the driver can directly upload the ticket to the union station or forum, the union will have professional legal personnel to help the driver deal with the problem.

For example, if a driver is unable to work for some reason, the driver can apply for help from the union, and the union will help the driver negotiate a compensation plan or subsidy plan with the employer, so that the driver can survive during the period when he is unable to work.

All in all, no matter what work you do in the Stars and Stripes, the first thing you have to do is join a union, and although it will cost you an extra amount of money, many things are guaranteed. Some migrant workers in the Stars and Stripes save this amount of money, and they regret it when something goes wrong.

Xiao Peng said evenly: "It's just a part-time job, is driving a truck just your hobby?" Xiao Peng instantly made up the bridge between the husband and wife who worked part-time as drivers because they wanted to travel.

"Fart hobby. It's because the truck is too expensive, and if I don't pull the goods by the way, I may not even be able to afford to pay for gas. Martin said indignantly.

Xiao Peng laughed instantly, this is really an interesting old man: "Then I don't understand, why do you want to buy such a big guy?" Xiao Peng asked.

Martin looked at Xiao Peng: "I can answer that you are because of a man's romance, but if I really answer like that, then I am a liar." The real answer is, I need it for my job, otherwise I'd pay 80,000 dollars for this big guy? That's just my brain. ”

"What job do you need to buy a big truck?" Martin said he wasn't a full-time driver, so what job did you need to buy a big truck?

Martin said: "I am a Taobao person, have you heard of this profession?"

When Xiao Peng heard this, his eyes lit up, this is an interesting job. Xiao Peng couldn't help but sigh: "You old Ma family are pure talents, Ma Huateng, Ma Yun, Ma Rong, Mosaic, and now I have you again, Martin." ”

Of course, the Taobao people Martin said are not mixed with Ma Yun, and their correct name should be the warehouse organizer.

This is also a unique occupation in the Stars and Stripes, which is closely related to the warehousing industry in the Stars and Stripes, well, to be precise, directly linked to the national conditions.

The Stars and Stripes are different from the Chinese people, the Chinese people have a deep obsession with home, and they want to buy their own house after a lifetime of struggle. But the people of the Stars and Stripes are different, they prefer to rent a house, live in the east today, and maybe go to the west tomorrow, and there is a high house tax on buying a house, so there are really not as many people who buy a house in the Stars and Stripes as there are people who rent a house.

This has led to another industry that has flourished, and that is the warehousing industry.

Almost every larger town in the depressed country has a dedicated warehouse company, as well as warehouses of various sizes and specifications. We all know that the big warehouse is for enterprise users, whose goods have nowhere to store them, and put them in the warehouse. And small warehouses, this is for individual users.

When we watch Stars and Stripes movies, especially cop movies, we often see scenes like this: several people walk to a warehouse located in the suburbs, open the warehouse door, and see that it is full of guns and ammunition. That's this kind of small warehouse. Generally speaking, if you can't fit things at home, you can rent a warehouse and put them in it to save space at home.

But we all know that renting a warehouse costs money. What if someone doesn't pay the rent for some reason? Just left a warehouse of things. Of course, the most likely thing is a warehouse of garbage and old goods. This adds trouble to the storage company: the disposal of garbage, the disposal of old goods, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, if there is anything valuable, it is okay, if it is a waste product with no economic value, the garbage cleaning cost alone is enough for the storage company to drink two pots.

Therefore, these warehouses simply take out these warehouses that have not paid rent on time for public auction, and the people who go to such places to pick up leaks are the so-called Taobao people. They bid for ownership of the items in the warehouse, and at the same time dispose of the garbage in the warehouse, tidying up the warehouse so that the storage company can rent it out again. In the Stars and Stripes, thousands of warehouses are auctioned off every day. A professional Taobao person chooses to go to different places to find various warehouses for auction. Find wealth in it.

Of course, this Taobao must also have a profit and a loss, the reason is very simple, no one can go into the warehouse to observe what is inside, after the warehouse company opens the door, everyone stands outside the door to see what is inside, if it is a large piece of things placed on the bright side can still be seen, how to look at the things in the box? Spend a high price to auction a warehouse box, open it to see, good guys, full of expired food, it is too late to cry. Therefore, this industry is also an industry similar to the lottery, focusing on eyesight, intelligence gathering ability and most importantly。。。。。。 Luck.

Think about it, as soon as I opened the warehouse, I saw that there was a car parked inside, and it was tightly covered, and I took it at a high price to see that it was just a shell, and that was the desire to cry without tears. Of course, it is also possible to find wealth from it, and there are people who can turn over famous watches and jewelry from garbage bins, not to mention this warehousing industry.

Therefore, this industry is also the same as gambling, the risk is extremely high, some people find antique luxury goods from the warehouse, and get rich overnight, and some people lose their fortune because of blind follow-up.

In this way, Xiao Peng can also understand why Martin drives a big truck, some industries in the Stars and Stripes country have exclusive vehicles, and those who are engaged in warehousing Taobao generally have to drive large trucks, because there are often large items in the warehouse, and they are also responsible for cleaning up garbage. The Taobao owner photographed the warehouse and only had 24 hours to clean up the garbage, so in many cases, the garbage was transported away with valuable items. Then slowly sort and process.

This kind of warehouse auction is also very popular in the country of stars and stripes, there are professionals who are engaged in this industry to join the association, like Martin, looking for warehouse auction news, choosing their own optimistic warehouse to auction is a professional Taobao person;

Seeing Xiao Peng nodding, Martin was very happy: "Wow, I didn't expect Huaxia people to know about us Taobao people, I really didn't expect this." I've also come up with countless ways to tell you about this profession, but I didn't expect you to know. ”

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay, you can introduce me again when I don't know." ”

Martin smiled: "You're a cute little guy. Where do you want to go?"

Xiao Peng said: "I just want to walk along Highway 1, go to Las Vegas and then think about where to go." ”

"All the way?" Martin's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Of course it's not pure leaving, I'm not Forrest Gump, hitchhiking all the way." ”

Martin whistled, "Wow, you're very Star-Spangled." ”

Xiao Peng was speechless, the people of the Stars and Stripes liked to say the words 'Spirit of the Stars and Stripes', as long as they felt that it was good, they would say that it was the Spirit of the Stars and Stripes: you were very frugal in China, and here you were very 'Stars and Stripes Spirit', in China you were very brave, here you were very 'Stars and Stripes Spirit', and in China you were very honest and here you were also 'very Stars and Stripes Spirit'. Anyway, in a word, as long as you think it's an advantage, in their mouths, it's the spirit of the Stars and Stripes.

Xiao Peng smiled: "I just want to see more scenery and learn more about the customs." I think that's the best way to do it. This way I can get to know the country more directly. ”

"Yes, young man, you have chosen the right way and the right path. Highway 1 is truly beautiful. Martin nodded.

"I think so too. ”

At this moment, Mrs. Martin's voice came from the gas station: "Martin!

I have to say that the Stars and Stripes are really good in some ways.

Take the big truck as an example, how anxious our Chinese truck drivers are. All kinds of fuel guzzlers and tire stealers must be kept an eye on at any time, and if you are not careful, the oil will run out and the tires will be missing. There is no such thing as stealing oil or tires in the Stars and Stripes, there is no killing without buying and selling, and no one in the Stars and Stripes will recycle oil and used tires, so there is no such market. And Stars and Stripes truck drivers won't go to unlicensed places to refuel. Because you can't get an invoice, you can't calculate taxes without an invoice.

What's more, most transport companies will issue a fuel card to the driver, which can be used at all chain gas stations in the Stars and Stripes, but not at small gas stations. So there is no market for stealing oil. In China, such a heavy truck is full of fuel and dares to shout like this, then it is the same as the stupid root in the world who shouts that the thief is in the world, which is to let the fuel guzzler target himself.

Martin smiled at Xiao Peng: "Young man, if you don't dislike my old woman's nagging, let me give you a ride." But we can't take you very far, we're going to Monterrey, there's a warehouse auction I'm going to attend, how do you feel?

Xiao Peng nodded hurriedly and said happily: "Martin, I don't know how to thank you, I haven't been able to catch a ride here for a long time." I love Monterey! The most important thing is that I can ride Optimus Prime! I really haven't ridden a big guy like this!"
