Chapter 116 Preparing for a New Project (2)

On the fifth day after returning to Xining from Lanzhou, when four or five of the drivers were sure that they would arrive at the mine on time, Li Hao and his wife drove a pickup truck to the Muli Coal Mine with their luggage and some spare parts they had purchased in Xining. At the Tianjun bus station, I picked up two drivers waiting on the side of the road, and one walked to the evening, and finally arrived at the mining area in Muli.

Zhao Jian and He Ping were very happy to see them arrive, Li Hao stopped the car and took the four drivers to prepare dinner, Yang Qianxun introduced them to the small restaurant she was more familiar with who helped them look at the car, the boss and the proprietress saw her and greeted them with a smile to sit down, Li Hao ordered a few dishes, the boss went to cook, Yang Qianxun walked to the counter and said to the proprietress: "Thank you, help us look at the car, I'll give you the money?" ”

The proprietress said, "Your flashlight has been given to your driver." We watched it for eleven days, so you can give it according to ten days. ”

Yang Qianxun smiled and pointed out the money to her and said, "How can it? Please help me and deduct your money, I can't do it. The proprietress smiled and said, "Then ask my husband to add a dish to you." ”

Yang Qianxun also smiled and said, "This is okay." We still have to stay in the Muli mine for a few days, and when the car is repaired and the drivers are all there, we will use your place as a canteen for the next few days, and settle the bill before leaving. ”

The proprietress said, "Okay, thank you for your help." ”

During the meal, Li Hao said politely: "Captain Zhao, He Ping, you have worked hard to watch the car here, eat more food, let's start repairing the car tomorrow, Captain Zhao, you two know which car has some problems, let's fix it at one time, so as not to drive on the road and have problems, after repairing the car, change the filter element and engine oil, and drive to Lanzhou, and ah, you have been here for two or three months, if there is an account owed to someone on credit, you must pay it back to others, don't let people say that we are behind their backs." ”

Zhao Jian said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, we didn't post on credit." How many days will it take to finish the car? ”

"Let's look at it, three or four days, four or five days, in short, all the cars are all in order before driving out." Li Hao said firmly.

After eating, Yang Qianxun really didn't pay, but just signed a name on the menu they ordered. When I returned to my seat, I listened to Li Hao say: "A few of you will sleep in the car, watching the car, we will also find a small hotel to stay, and tomorrow there will be a driver to come, and we will start working after breakfast." Now, go back and rest. ”

Several drivers stood up one after another, and Yang Qianxun also said hello to the restaurant owner and proprietress and walked out of the restaurant together. Watching the drivers walk in the direction of the dump truck, Li Hao drove the pickup truck in the opposite direction, Yang Qianxun asked him: "Let's not stay in the hotel next to the car?" ”

Li Hao said: "There are several drivers in the car, and there is no need to look at the car, let's see if there are any cheaper small hotels." ”

On the other side of the road, he stopped in front of a small hotel that looked pretty good, and Li Hao said, "I'll go in first and ask." After speaking, he got out of the car and walked in, and walked out after a while and said, "A room for two, sixty in one night, okay?" ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Okay, I don't know if it's clean or not, the one near the dump truck where I lived last time was fifty for a single room one night, and eighty for a double room." As he spoke, he also got out of the car, walked in to see, it was similar to the one he lived in last time, so he went out and asked Li Hao to move his things into the hotel. After staying here, Li Hao said: "I heard that many drivers have stolen fuel and sold it to nearby repair shops or auto parts sales outlets. When we go, buy some and add them to our car, it should be much cheaper. ”

When Yang Qianxun heard that he could save money, he said happily: "Okay, okay, go and ask." ”

Drove the car along the only main road, towards the direction of the Muli town government, walked to the place where there were many shops, the two got out of the car, one family asked the past, almost every family has such oil for sale, a barrel of 1400 yuan, the two carefully calculated, it was really a lot cheaper, so they agreed with the owners of several shops, and then came to pull oil, and then drove back to the small hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Yang Qianxun asked Li Hao again: "Shall we do this?" Although it saves some money, doesn't this encourage these unhealthy tendencies? ”

Li Hao said: "It's always been like this here, it's an open secret, and we didn't do it first." ”

"Confucius said: Don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small, I think it's not good to do this, and what kind of oil is mixed in a big iron bucket, the quality is definitely not as good as the gas station, right? I think it's better to forget it, let's honestly go to the gas station to refuel. Yang Qianxun still doesn't think about it, he has never done anything unpleasant, and he always feels that this kind of thing is still not good.

Li Hao said: "You calculate, these ten cars are full of fuel, and you have to save a lot of money!" But don't forget it, if you don't want to do that, don't do it. ”

Starting the next day, according to Zhao Jian's records, each car was carefully inspected and ready to solve all the problems. The drivers drove the car to the door of several repair shops to repair the car, and Li Hao ran everywhere to buy the missing accessories, and went to Tianjun if there was nothing in the wood, and also ran to Xining, and finally put the car up after five days of busy work. But what made Yang Qianxun anxious was that a few drivers who had said good had not arrived, seeing that the car was about to drive out, and there was no driver, Yang Qianxun was in a hurry, and it was too late to notify a few drivers from Gansu to come over, and finally the proprietress of the small restaurant thought of a solution for her, "You go into the vicinity of the gas station where there are many shops in that store, and there will be drivers flowing every day; Isn't there a way to get a bus coming in every day? You can also ask, and there may be drivers who come in and look for work. ”

Yang Qianxun heard her say, not only his eyes lit up, he immediately went out to find Li Hao, Li Hao was busy in a repair shop, Yang Qianxun said how to find a driver, and then drove a pickup truck along the main road in Muli, stopped at the door of the small shop near the Muli gas station, and went over to ask when he saw the driver's appearance, and asked for an afternoon and did not find a suitable driver, and only drove the pickup back to the small hotel at dinner time.

Li Hao listened to her narration and comforted her: "Don't worry, tomorrow morning you go back to the bus stop in Muli, as long as the young man who is leaving with a big bag of luggage will go over and ask, maybe it is the driver who left the job." Listening to Li Hao's words, Yang Qianxun had confidence again, at six o'clock in the morning, the two got up, drove the pickup truck to the bus station in Muli, the car has been parked on the road, there are still very few people in the car, Yang Qianxun got off the car, stood on the side of the bus, saw the people who were holding luggage to get on the bus, they all patiently asked, explained for a long time, and waited for the car to drive away, and did not find a driver. When he went back, Yang Qianxun said: "You put me at the entrance of the commissary near the gas station, I'll take a look, you drive back first and watch them change the filter element and change the oil, if you can't find two drivers today, you still can't go tonight." ”

Li Hao promised and said, "You can eat casually in the small restaurant next to you, I'll go back first, and you can call me if you have something." ”

Yang Qianxun agreed, got off at the door of the shop, looked at the sparse people coming and going, carefully thought about which was the driver he was looking for, and then accosted dozens of drivers and suspected drivers, and finally at noon when eating, he knew that although the two young men did not leave, but there was no work for the time being, and when they finished eating, Yang Qianxun took the initiative to ask them: "Two masters, I heard what you just said, there is no work yet, what's going on?" ”

A thin man said: "Our car is broken, it is being repaired, and there may be nothing to do for a few days, what, are you hiring a driver now?" ”

"Our car is going to drive from Muli to Lanzhou, there are two less drivers, if you are willing to go to Lanzhou, we are welcome, if you can't go, you are just idle these days, can you do us a favor, help us drive the car to Lanzhou, this trip one person will give five hundred yuan, and also cover your return fare."

The two looked at each other, and the other said, "Do you want to give the money when it's time or give it now?" ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Of course, it was delivered and then given." ”

The thin man said, "Don't give it to me when it's open." ”

The shopkeeper on the side was obviously familiar with them, and said to the thin man mockingly: "Are you stupid? Now that you don't have a job, the boss doesn't pay you, and you don't earn the money you send to your door? Or you help me watch the door these days, and I'll go. ”

Yang Qianxun smiled and deliberately said, "Does the boss also drive a big car?" If you have a certificate, of course you can! One more person can also be replaced on the road. ”

Another driver asked, "How much is the fare for the journey back?" ”

Yang Qianxun thought for a while and said: "Depending on what car you take, if you take a train from Lanzhou to Xining, and then take a bus from Xining to Tianjun and then back to Muli, it shouldn't take 200 yuan, so I will give you 200 yuan for the journey." ”

"Two hundred is not enough, three hundred, right? Three hundred and we will go. ”

Yang Qianxun thought about it and agreed, "Okay, one person's travel fee plus 800 yuan for the car, can you leave tonight?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Which of you won't go?" Help me watch the store, I'll go! ”

Both drivers nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

"At four o'clock in the afternoon, you go out, or call me, I will let the pickup truck come to pick you up, we will leave on time at five o'clock, so it is decided, you must not regret it, regret will hurt me, I will not find anyone else for a while."

The two said that they would definitely go, and Yang Qianxun said goodbye to the two drivers and walked out of the door of the restaurant. Call Li Hao and say, "The driver's problem is solved, you can drive the pickup truck to pick me up." ”
