Chapter 78: Reflections on the experience of car maintenance

Finally sent away the first group of people who asked for accounts, the family sat on the sofa, and his father asked Li Hao: "What's going on with your side?" ”

Li Hao patiently told his father what had happened after they arrived in Xining, and his father said, "There are so many people who raise cars in Qinghai, it is impossible that they can't make money?" If you can't make any money, why do you have to keep a car? ”

Li Hao said: "This is also difficult for me to understand, of course, there are many reasons, I think there are two main reasons, the first is the quality of the car, the second is the driver problem." ”

"How much do drivers get paid?"

"The drivers of the other teams in the Xiaomeishan Coal Mine are all 4,500 yuan, and we set it at 5,000 yuan."

"What about the rest?" Father asked again.

"All the things they use in the mine, including overalls, beds, bedding, kettles, basins, and even dishes and chopsticks are provided by us. Li Hao said while thinking.

The father pondered: "In the past, the salary of this driver was relatively high, and the treatment I gave them was not bad, although there were some people who did something around the car themselves, but in general it was still good, of course, we have not worked in the coal mine environment." It's all running long-distance transportation, doing highway engineering and the like, I feel that the driver was still good at that time, they are all villagers, if they are fired because of petty theft, do something dishonorable, and be fired, among the villagers, it is also very embarrassing, ordinary people will not do this, and the management of the car is also good. ”

"How do you manage the car?" Yang Qianxun asked Li Hao's father.

"The dump truck on the construction site is to arrange a person to be the team leader, supervise it every day, maintain it, maintain it, and it doesn't work too hard? As for long-distance distances, it is difficult to restrict, as long as the goods can be delivered at the specified time, there is basically no problem. Father narrated.

Yang Qianxun opened his mouth wide in surprise, "The effort and effort we have spent on the management of vehicles and drivers is too much!" Every morning shift and evening shift are to personally supervise their maintenance and maintenance of the car, and when it is time to change the oil, they should also watch them do it, and let the local maintenance station blow the filter element every day and replace it once a day; As for the driver, as I said just now, I think we are working hard enough, uncle, in your opinion, why can't this car make money? ”

"Hmm!" The father groaned, but did not speak. Yang Qianxun said: "Let's be honest with you, we worked in the mine for two months, and all the money was returned, except for daily expenses, the purchase of auto parts, vehicle maintenance, and then the driver's salary, we couldn't even pay off the car loan!" ”

The father looked at the two of them in surprise and asked, "How much is the loan for the car a month?" ”

"The total price of the car does not exceed 300,000 yuan, but plus the interest on the advance payment and the monthly payment of the balance given by the car sales company, when the car pays off all the car loans, it actually costs almost 400,000 yuan, and the first month is a month and a half of loan repayment, because the first month is the car received on the 15th, and the loan is calculated on the 17th, and the ten cars are more than 220,000 yuan a month." Yang Qianxun said patiently.

"So it can't be said that you didn't make money, the 220,000 yuan is the money you made!" Li Hao's father said.

"But even the 220,000 yuan, and 50,000 yuan are the money of the previous car maintenance customers, and when all the customers come to ask for the 90,000 yuan, our money is not enough to return to others." Yang Qianxun said dejectedly.

"That's 170,000 yuan." Father nodded.

"This is earned in two months, and the first half of January has been advanced in advance." Yang Qianxun patiently explained again, for fear that Li Hao's father would miscalculate.

"Well, I still have some money here." As he spoke, his father took out his wallet, took out a bank card of the Agricultural Bank of China, and said to Li Hao: "There should be more than 200,000 yuan in it, let's give it to you first, if the customer asks for a refund, return it to them, it is not easy for anyone." ”

Li Hao took the bank card, looked at his father gratefully and said, "I wanted to borrow some from you, it's not embarrassing to speak, thank you Dad!" As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Qianxun, which means that if you complain about your hardship, the money will be in hand. Yang Qianxun rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that he borrowed it this time, see what you will do next time? Then he discussed with Li Hao's father: "Uncle, this is not a way, we took your money this time, and we still can't do well next month, do we still want you to pay off the car loan?" ”

The father said, "That's the case, if I go with you in the next year, I'll help you manage it, right?" ”

This time, Yang Qianxun did not object, hoping that this former car maintenance boss could help them get out of the crisis. Li Hao said on the side: "No, Dad, we have left the small coal mountain now, it is better in the small coal mountain, the altitude is more than 3,600 meters, which is not very high, but we are now transferred to a coal mine in Xinjiang, the coal mine is on the top of the mountain, and the slag stone and coal pulling are also on the top of the mountain, but the altitude is more than 5,400 meters, you will definitely not be able to stand it." ”

Yang Qianxun had no choice but to nod: "Yes, your old man is also old, so it's better not to go." ”

Li Hao's mother said: "Tell the children to toss, you are so old, forget it." ”

Li Xiaoxia said: "What's there, others can go, I still want to go and see it." ”

Li Hao said: "This is not a joke, altitude sickness will kill people, that place is not everyone can stay, generally working in that place is a local person, the second is a young person, how many older people go to that kind of place?" ”

Li Xiaoxia still raised her hand enthusiastically and said, "I'll help you, I'm young!" ”

Her mother glared at her, "You can't study?" Monkey business! ”

Li Hao Zhengse said to his father: "Yuanda Automobile Sales Company originally said that it would send maintenance personnel to do service with us for three months, but it turned out that the words did not count, and did not send people, and it was good to say that there are at least two repair shops in Xiaocoal Mountain, but this mine in Xinjiang has been still planning to establish a car repair station. ”

Father nodded: "That's the truth, look for it in the past two days and see if anyone is willing to go." ”

Driving his father's car at night, Li Hao, Yang Qianxun and Li Xiaoxia went to their uncle's house together, the uncle's family lived in a community five kilometers away from Li Hao's house, the three of them drove in, parked the car downstairs at the uncle's house, knocked on the door of the uncle's unit, and it was their little cousin who opened the door, and the cousin Xiaoxuan saw them, with a surprised smile on his face, took Li Hao's hand and walked to the living room, and shouted in his mouth: "Grandparents, parents, big brother is here, and Sister Xiaoxia and Sister Qianxun!" Yang Qianxun smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Little clever ghost!" "When they met for the first time, my uncle and second aunt asked Xiao Xuan to call Yang Qianxun sister-in-law, and Yang Qianxun privately asked Xiao Xuan to call him sister, and he was really obedient, which made Yang Qianxun very happy.

The four adults in the family are drinking tea and watching TV in the living room, the second aunt saw that Yang Qianxun was also coming, and happily beckoned them to sit down, and brewed chrysanthemum tea made by themselves for them, that is, the chrysanthemums were salted and salted, and then put on the fried soybeans when drinking, and then drank a salty and fragrant taste, and then ate a fried soybean, which was more fragrant, Yang Qianxun liked that taste very much, the second aunt remembered, so when she entered the door, she made this chrysanthemum tea, Yang Qianxun took the cup from the second aunt's hand, and deliberately sniffed it at the mouth of the cup with his nose, With a look of intoxication, he squinted his eyes and said, "Hmm! It smells so good! The second aunt smiled and said, "If you like it, when you leave, take a bottle back." ”

"Then you're welcome, second aunt." Yang Qianxun said with a smile. After speaking, he took out two packets of yak jerky from his bag and handed them to Xiao Xuan and said, "Here you go." ”

Xiao Xuan happily took it and said, "Thank you, sister!" After speaking, he wanted to eat, but the second aunt saw it on the side, grabbed it for him and said, "You just finished eating, and you ate again?" Eat again tomorrow. Xiao Xuan spread his hands helplessly, and asked Yang Qianxun pretending to be an adult: "Sister, is your mother so fierce?" The whole room laughed.

Yang Qianxun pointed to the Qinghai old yogurt that he brought over and said: "This time I took the train back, it was inconvenient to bring things, so I didn't bring anything, this is the Qinghai old yogurt for my grandparents, this yogurt is very famous in Qinghai, and it is said to have a history of more than 100 years." ”

Xiao Xuan ran over and said while opening the cardboard box, "I should be able to drink a little yogurt, right?" He said and looked at his mother.

The second aunt may not want her son to say that she is fierce, so she nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to get a box for your grandparents." ”

Grandpa began to ask Li Hao about the afternoon, Li Hao said: "It's okay, it's all settled, let's not come and see, if grandparents are willing to go back with us, we will pick you up and go together?" ”

Xiao Xuan immediately ran over, grabbed his grandfather's arm and said loudly: "No, grandpa and grandma only stay at our house for half a month a year, and they can't leave." ”

The uncle looked at Li Hao with a smile before he said to his son: "What's your name, who said that grandparents are leaving?" Then he said to Li Hao: "Since your grandparents are here, let's talk about it after the New Year." ”

Li Hao asked his grandparents again: "Grandparents, what do you mean?" Are you going to spend the New Year at your uncle's house?"

Grandpa looked at grandma, embarrassed to say that he wanted to leave, and finally said, "Forget it here, and go back for the New Year." ”

Xiaoxia wanted to show her pestering kung fu again, but Li Hao dissuaded: "Xiaoxia, don't make trouble, just follow grandpa's wishes, and go back to our house for the New Year." In fact, Li Hao knows that maybe there are customers who maintain cars in the past few days who will go to the house to make trouble, and it is really not good to take his grandparents over.

The three of them sat for a while, and Yang Qianxun took the chrysanthemum tea given to her by her second aunt and left her uncle's house.
