Chapter 101: Same Work, Same Encounter

At noon the next day, I rushed to Tianjun, and found the person Boss Yang said in a small hotel, who was also a middle-aged man fifty miles away, surnamed Fang, the old party sat on Li Hao's pickup truck, and went to the Muli Coal Mine together, along a main road into the Muli Town Government, and stopped at an intersection, there were too many cars pulling coal and slag back and forth, and the old party pointed to the direction of the dump truck pulling the slag and said: "Our construction site has not started yet, and the mine is not allowed to go up." Yang Qianxun followed the direction pointed by the old man, only to see a lot of excavators and dump trucks on the mountain were busy, as for the construction site that he said belonged to them, he couldn't see it at all, so he asked the old man blankly: "Boss Fang, this can't be seen, how can you know what the situation is?" What are the road conditions, can't we drive a pickup truck? ”

Lao Fang said: "We only went up twice, but the people in the mine still carried it, and we were not allowed to go up without permission." ”

Yang Qianxun said disappointedly: "I knew that I would not be allowed to go to the scene, just listen to what you say, I can't see anything when I run so far, I run for nothing!" ”

Li Hao also said: "Yes, if you had said this situation earlier, we wouldn't have to run for a day, since you came, you want to think of a way to take us up to have a look?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to take you up, we went up once by ourselves, and there are a lot of managers below, and when they see it, they will stop you directly, and it will be in vain to go forward."

"Since you can't go up, there's no point in staying here any longer, so let's go back." After Li Wei finished speaking, he turned his head and prepared to get into the car.

The old man said, "You go back to Xining, will I go back with your car?" ”

"Okay, let's go together." The three of them stood on the side of the road for three minutes and then drove out of Muli.

Yang Qianxun said to Li Hao: "If we move here like this, it's too blind." ”

Lao Fang interjected in the back: "We can sign a contract for you and settle the freight once a week." ”

Yang Qianxun nodded and said: "This can be regarded as a discount, but I am worried that the road conditions are not good, the work is not good, even if it is settled once a week, it is useless to make no money." ”

Li Hao asked: How is the meal and accommodation arranged? ”

Lao Fang said: "There are a lot of newly built color steel houses on the roadside in front, we have rented a row, you don't need to pay rent, live for free, as for dinner, we ask the chef to cook, you can eat with us." When I return to Xining, talk to Boss Yang again, if we can, we will sign the contract, right? ”

"Let's think about it again, after all, we haven't seen your construction site, so it's better to be cautious."

It was a journey of more than 500 kilometers, and when he rushed back to Xining that night, Yang Qianxun was uncomfortable in the bumpy car, and complained a little, "This has been going back and forth for thousands of kilometers, isn't it a pit person?" ”

Li Hao asked, "Do you think you can't do it here?" ”

"What do you see? Although there are dump trucks running on the road, do they really make money? What is the scene like, will it be inferior to Ruoqiang's side? What I'm most worried about now is that the more I move the place, the worse it will be, and it will soon enter May, and since June, it will start to snow on the Muli mine, and we are not specifically looking at the snow scene, Ruoqiang has just finished the snow, and we ran here to enjoy it! ”

Li Hao said: "I also have no bottom in my heart, and it will be troublesome if I move out and still can't do it." ”

The next day, the two of them were about to leave Xining, and they received a call from Boss Yang, wanting to talk to them again, Li Hao said: "Go and talk, maybe you can do it?" ”

Yang Qianxun had no choice but to say: "Just go, there is no other way to go." ”

Boss Yang received them in a printing shop, he was printing the contract, and it happened that Li Hao and they went, so he showed them the contract, Li Hao looked at it carefully and said: "According to your price above, it is okay under normal circumstances, but if the road conditions are too bad, it is useless to do the work." ”

Boss Yang said: "The current road is really not very good, but the mine has already said that after we go up, we will pay for the road with the other two companies, and the road can be done after it is repaired." In terms of other food and accommodation, Manager Fang has already introduced it to you, and we will pay for it. ”

Yang Qianxun said: "You also said this Boss Hu, but we don't know if they built roads when they did it, and he has stopped doing it, does your words count?" ”

Li Hao said: "You have to write it in the contract that we will repair the road before we go up." ”

Boss Yang seems to have been looking for a long time dump truck, has not been found, more eager, listening to Li Hao, immediately agreed, and wrote another article on the contract: Honghao Logistics' dump truck must be repaired before the start of the mine. Yang Qianxun took it and looked at it again, pointed out a few items for him to modify, Boss Yang changed them as required, and the two couldn't ask other questions, so Boss Yang said: "Two CEOs, you see, the contract has been changed according to your requirements, let's sign it?" ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Although we put forward some of our opinions, but we didn't see the scene, we still didn't want to do it." ”

Boss Yang smiled and said, "It's time for lunch, whether you do it or not, if you know you, you're friends, let's eat first, shall we?" ”

Li Hao said: "We won't go, let's think about the contract first." ”

Lao Fang and Boss Yang were very enthusiastic, persuaded and persuaded again, and Manager Fang also said: "I took your car back from Muli, and I haven't thanked you yet, let's go, isn't it just a meal?" ”

Li Hao looked at Yang Qianxun: "Boss Yang and Boss Fang are so enthusiastic, it seems that we don't want to give face, right?" ”

Yang Qianxun also felt that they were too enthusiastic to refuse, so he said: "Go and go, just like Boss Yang said, knowing is a friend." ”

The four of them found a restaurant, sat down to eat, although Boss Yang spoke in a low and slow voice, but repeatedly expressed his determination, said good things, invited the team of Honghao Logistics to work at their construction site, and promised to make money. Yang Qianxun thought about the situation on Ruoqiang's side, and felt that if he cooperated with them, he should be better than the people on Ruoqiang's side, but the two still didn't sign that contract.

After eating, saying goodbye to Yang Fang and the others, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun had to transfer from Delingha to Huatugou, because the pickup truck needed to go through a transfer and annual review procedures. The next morning, the two went to the repair shop to find the boss, the three went to the traffic management office, completed the formalities in the morning, went to the Delingha Liberation Service Station to send some old accessories, and took a few new parts, the two hurried to Huatugou, to Huatugou, when they arrived at Huatugou, it was already night, in order to get back the car keys that the drivers put in the hands of Geng Zong, they had to wait for them to get up the next morning and then look for them, get the keys, and go to the repair shop to see the two cars that were driven down for maintenance.

Back at the mining area, Yang Qianxun took all the accessories he brought back from the car, Li Hao went directly to the driver's dormitory, and returned to Yang Qianxun a few minutes later and said: "I didn't go to work today, and now these people are not in the mood to work, and there have been two car accidents in a row. ”

Yang Qianxun asked, "What about Zhao Jian?" Is that the same for him? ”

"Eight cars, four of the smashed buckets, two more are waiting to be repaired, and two more can work, Zhao Jian saw us coming back and said that he had arranged for someone to work at night."

"Yang Qianxun thought about it and said, we came to the mine, and we haven't gotten the freight, we didn't do it for a few days in February, and we did it in March and April, at least they should make the settlement in March clear, right?"

Li Hao said: "Yes, I'll ask Mr. Jiang to go, and by the way, tell him about the excavator smashing the car." ”

Watching Li Hao go out, Yang Qianxun took out the record book for March and calculated it, and finally threw the book aside in frustration, the ten cars didn't even earn 100,000 yuan in freight, and they also settled the driver's salary, bought so many accessories and tires, they couldn't live. I went to Zhao Jian's room again, and got back the records of their departure for the past few days, which was even less pitiful, even the wages and meals of those drivers were not enough, the more I calculated, the more angry I became, what kind of work was this? It's just terrible! I don't know how people do it.

Just thinking about it, Li Hao came back. "The March ones haven't been sent yet, saying that the boss is not there, no one has signed, and the boss will not be able to send it until he arrives in Huatugou." Li Hao said, feeling the cold in Yang Qianxun's room, and began to be busy helping her to raise the stove, Yang Qianxun also said how much work he had done after he arrived in the mine, and how much money he should get, Li Hao was silent for a long time, just busy with the work in his hands. Yang Qianxun said: "We don't make money, what do others do?" Why don't you wait for the stove to be raised, and let's visit the tent area in the middle of the mountain to learn from the experience? ”

Li Hao said: "It's okay, look at other people's situations, what's the difference with us?" ”

Half an hour later, the two drove the pickup truck to the tent area where the Muslim drivers lived in the mid-levels, and casually arrived at the door of a tent, Li Hao shouted: "Is anyone there?" ”

A middle-aged Muslim man wearing a little white hat lifted the curtain and asked them, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Li Hao said with a smile: "We also raise cars here, that is, the ten red liberation cars, I want to meet the workers." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Come in, we have all gone below to use your car repair tools, and your repairman has also helped us a lot, thank you." After saying that, he walked into the tent first and opened the curtain. Li Hao and Yang Qianxun walked in, and there were three men with little white hats inside, the eldest should be in his fifties, and the youngest was about twenty years old, all sitting by the fire and chatting, seeing them come in, looking at them with a smile, Yang Qianxun said embarrassedly: "Hello, we are also here to raise cars." ”

The old man said, "I have seen you, and last time I went to repair the car under you, you forgot." ”

Yang Qianxun smiled and said, "Remember, remember." ”

Li Hao asked them strangely, "Why didn't you go to work?" ”

The old man said, "The car is broken down, and I am worried." ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Our repairman is also gone, but you can still use repair tools." ”

The old man said, "I want to go down the mountain to buy something, and when I get it back, I still have to use your tools." ”

The middle-aged man said, "My car broke down too, so I can't do it." ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Our car is doing very badly, you should be good, right?" ”

The middle-aged man said, "What's good?" The car is not bad or good, you can make some money, the car is broken, all the losses are in, this month is not yet the end of the month, the car has been repaired twice and a tire has been replaced, there is no money to make at all. ”

Li Hao said: "How is it possible? You've been working here for so long, if you don't make money, can you keep doing it? ”

The old man's parents sighed and said: "We have been to other mines before, and we only transferred here last year, and we can't make much money, and we cherish our own car, but the hired driver he doesn't give you love, no way!" ”

Yang Qianxun deeply agreed: "Our car is too broken, just repaired and broken, and it can't do work at all." Ay! Why is it so hard? ”

The middle-aged man said: "If you want to keep a good car, you must drive it yourself, or find your own family and relatives, they can still look at their own people's faces, take good care, and ask the driver to be in trouble!" ”

Li Hao remembered the freight at this time and asked them: "Have you got the freight for March?" ”

The middle-aged man said, "We haven't it yet, have you got it?" I went to borrow money to repair the car, but they didn't lend it to me, so I couldn't help it, so I found a few fellows to make up the money. ”

"Are they always in arrears on shipping?" Yang Qianxun asked.

"It's rare to send it down on time, it's hard to work here, and it's not easy to deal with those people in the mine." Said a young man.

After chatting for a while, it felt like this, the two said goodbye to a few Muslim masters, walked out, and saw a door curtain open on the side, the two walked over again, there was a dirty bed inside, the color of the fabric could not be seen under the electric light, one driver was sleeping, probably on the night shift, and the other saw them and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Li Hao walked in and chatted with him, Yang Qianxun saw that someone was sleeping, and felt that it was inconvenient, so he waited outside, and after a few minutes, Li Hao walked out of the tent, and the two drove back.
