Chapter Seventy-Five: Rescue in the Snow
Chapter 75: Rescue in the snow
The pickup truck was speeding on the wide and quiet plateau avenue, and Li Hao said to Yang Qianxun intimately: "If you are gone, you can sleep first." ”
Yang Qianxun said: "Since we came to Qinghai, we seem to have been running on the road, running around every day, driving five or six hundred or even thousands of kilometers!" What's more, we've been running for more than a year, and we've run nothing, leaving only a bunch of broken dump trucks, which can't even afford to pay off a month's and a half months' car loan! Just like the lyrics in Liu Huan's song "On the Road": That day, I had to go on the road, for the restless heart, for the survival of self-esteem, for the proof of self, the bitterness on the road has melted into my eyes, and the dilemma of my soul has turned into my firmness. When Yang Qianxun read out the lyrics of this song, her heart was full of sadness and sadness, for Li Hao, she also had to embark on the road of raising a car in Qinghai, knowing that she didn't like it, she still gave up her familiar life and work, and plunged into this black coal sea, as a result, she and her lover were disgraced, but they got nothing, and they felt that they were slowly submerged in this black. Perhaps, it was this that gained nothing that increased Yang Qianxun's sadness, she didn't want to struggle anymore, but for the sake of her lover, she still had to accompany him without hesitation.
"On the road, with the voice of my heart, on the road, only for the people who accompany me, on the road, it is the distance of my life, on the road, only for the people who warm me." Li Hao also read out the second half of the lyrics, "Chihiro, I just want to achieve myself and give you a better life, just like what is written in this lyrics, with the voice of my heart, just for you who accompany me, just for you who are warming me all the time." However, we are still just on the road, we still have to go on, I know you are tired of it, for me, you have been trying to help me support this situation, Chihiro, go back this year for the New Year, you don't want to come back, everything here, I will do it, you still go back to Shenzhen, continue your life, do a good job here, I will go to you back. ”
"What does this mean? What if you can't do it well? Yang Qianxun said in surprise.
"I don't want you to suffer here, it's so miserable here, I don't think our new place is much better, the coal mines here are in a similar situation."
"No, unless we all give up, isn't it a loss? It's okay, let's start all over again. If these cars are disposed of, they should also be sold for hundreds of thousands, right? ”
"We can't sell it, and before the loan is paid off, we have no right to dispose of it, so we can only hand it over to Yuanda." Li Hao said.
"Just when we have nothing, when we first went to Shenzhen, we had nothing, and we didn't even have work experience, and now, when the two of us go back, we can almost find a relatively high position, do it for two or three years, have funds, and then start a second business, do you think it's okay?" Yang Qianxun tried to make Li Hao stop in moderation and give up this car maintenance career that they had worked hard and still worked in vain.
"If the car is handed back to Yuanda, the money will not be paid, and Yuanda may not give up and take us to court." Li Hao said heavily, "In fact, until now, it is really up to us to decide whether to maintain these cars or not." ”
"If I had to choose, I'd rather call Yuanda now, we don't want the car, let them drive back by themselves." Yang Qianxun felt very annoyed and annoyed when he thought of those bad cars.
"Don't worry, let's go home for the New Year first, and still have time to think about it, what do you say?" Li Hao didn't want to dwell on this issue for the time being, so he persuaded Yang Qianxun.
Yang Qianxun couldn't help but mention: "Hao, don't you think we are entering an unfamiliar industry?" Yes, your father has done this, and you are no stranger to it, but I dare to say that in our situation, even if your father is here, it will not work either! As for us, first, we have no experience, second, we don't understand the market, and third, we have caught up with the government's market rectification. Raising a dump truck has nothing to do with the government's policy, we just rely on the enthusiasm to start a business, too blind! Everyone wants to have a colorful life, and this entrepreneurial way of raising a car will be a failure in our life! On the prospect of car maintenance, to be honest, I was disappointed! ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that the car had stopped, Yang Qianxun turned his head strangely to look at Li Hao, Li Hao got out of the car on the side of the road, walked to Yang Qianxun's side and said, "Qianxun, you come down." ”
Yang Qianxun didn't know what was going on with him, so he had to get out of the car as ordered and stand on the side of the road with him. Li Hao pointed to the mountains in the distance, the grasslands and shoals on the side of the road, and said to her: "Qianxun, look, in the depths of those mountains, there are more than hundreds of people like us who raise cars? We can't see them, and we really don't know if they're making money, but if they don't, how can anyone do this kind of work? I always believe that if someone else can do it, we can, maybe it's because we don't manage it the right way. Next year, we will repair the car, start over, change the management method, we work harder, like those car keepers hidden in the mountains, and even more afraid of hardship and tiredness, I don't believe it, we can't make money? ”
Yang Qianxun didn't know how to refute Li Hao's words, to be more precise, she was also like Li Hao at this time, while reflecting, looking for the mistakes and reasons in the past two months. The right time, place and people, is there something wrong with one aspect, or is there a problem with all of them? After thinking about it, it still feels like they don't have any of them, and quitting is still the best way. So he said: "I believe that many car owners have made money through car maintenance, like the Shaanxi Mr. Li in Tianjun County, but people are occupying the right time and place, five or six years have passed, the sky is still that piece of sky, the earth is also that piece of land, Shaanxi Mr. Li has mixed out his own circle in that land, with his own team, it can be said that he has succeeded." But what about us? A fierce man rushed in, and he still hasn't been able to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and how can he do a good job of changing one place after another? To put it more bluntly, from the perspective of the drivers invited in these two months, from our experience in the two months of Xiaocoal Mountain, we can't figure out the temperament of these people at all, I think about what they want every day, how to capture their hearts, so that they can cooperate with us well, loyal to us, but, I have not been able to get the essentials, I have always thought that I am very smart, but now, what should I do? You said! ”
After standing for a few minutes, the whirring breeze blew on his face and body, it was very cold, Yang Qianxun raised his head to look at the sky, I don't know when, the sun was already hidden in the dark clouds in the sky, and I felt that the sky was much lower. Yang Qianwei got back into the car first, and then shouted to Li Hao, who was still standing on the side of the road: "Let's go quickly, don't you think it's going to snow?" If you don't leave, you won't even be able to get to Golmud. ”
Li Hao turned around and walked back to the car, and the moment he turned around, Yang Qianxun clearly heard his sigh. His eyes followed his steps all the way to the car. In fact, Yang Qianxun knew that although Li Hao didn't say it, his pressure was much greater than hers, she didn't want him to be sad, she didn't want him to feel his negative energy, so she stopped talking and closed her eyes to think.
Soon after, the snow still fell, in front of the road, a herdsman was driving the sheep across the road, a large truck could not brake, perhaps because the snow was slippery, the car was uncontrollable, recklessly entered the sheep, the car drove through the sheep, the four sheep had fallen in a pool of blood, Li Hao slowed down the speed of the car far away, until all the sheep crossed the road, only drove past the sheep who fell on the road, the truck in front had stopped, the driver stood next to the four sheep, and the shepherd negotiated.
Moving on, a Volkswagen fell into the ditch on the side of the road, the driver stood on the side of the road, waving to every passing car, Li Hao's car passed by, the driver of the Volkswagen stood directly in front of Li Hao's car, Li Hao stopped the car, the Volkswagen driver trotted a few steps, turned to Li Hao's side, Li Hao opened the window, the driver said eagerly: "Brother, brother, help, help!" ”
Li Hao said: "How to help? ”
"Help me pull the car up." As he spoke, he pointed to the car in the ditch.
Li Hao put out the fire, walked to the side of the road to take a look, and felt that he should be able to pull it up, so he took out a rope from the car body.
The driver asked Yang Qianxun enthusiastically: "Hello girl, do you know how to drive?" You just need to get in the car and help the steering wheel, the pickup truck pulls in front, and I push it in the back, do you think it's okay? ”
"Okay." Saying that, Yang Qianxun also got out of the car, walked over and opened the door of the Volkswagen and sat in, due to the increase in gravity, the car moved down again, and the frightened Yang Qianxun screamed, saw that the car did not move, and breathed a sigh of relief. In front of the car, Li Hao and the driver were busy tying ropes, and after a while, the two stood up and took the rope to the back of the pickup truck. The pickup truck started slowly, and Li Hao yelled at her in the car: "Master the direction!" Without waiting for Yang Qianxun to answer, he had already straightened the rope tied to the car, and the car slowly moved and moved, and then Yang Qianxun saw that the rope broke in the middle. Li Hao got out of the car and said to the driver who came over: "Brother, it's not that I don't help you, you see this is too deep to pull up, I suggest you stop a big truck, they must have a thick rope on the car, and the big truck has a lot of horsepower." ”
"Brother, you don't know, I've been standing here for almost an hour, there have been a lot of cars in the past, so you stop and help me, you don't leave first, just help to the end, otherwise I don't know if I can find the car again." When the driver saw that Li Hao was leaving, he was anxious.
Yang Qianxun was still sitting in the Volkswagen, looking at the snowfall outside, looking at the pitiful appearance of the driver, he felt a little unbearable, so he persuaded Li Hao: "Help him pull again, one rope is not good, just tie two!" It's so cold, if you stay any longer, you'll freeze to death if you don't rush to death. ”
As soon as Yang Qianxun said two ropes, the driver immediately ran to the back of the Volkswagen car, turned out a rope from the trunk, Li Hao reversed the car, knotted the broken rope, and took the rope in the driver's hand, tied it to the two cars, and started the pickup truck again. The Volkswagen slowly ascended, the wheels slipped, and finally climbed out of the bottom of the ditch. Li Hao stopped the car and began to untie the rope, the driver ran over to help, Yang Qianxun got out of the Volkswagen, stood on the side of the road and looked at them, the driver smiled gratefully and said: "Thank you so much, big brother, I am contracting coal mine projects here, what are you doing here?" ”
When Yang Qianxun heard him say that he was contracting coal mine projects, he immediately leaned over and asked, "Where did you do it?" ”
"In the Muli Coal Mine, yesterday I went to Huatugou to find a relative, drove a little fast, and it snowed again, a big car came, this hiding, and went down to the ditch, fortunately, the ditch is not deep, and it is all soil, so it was not hurt." Said the driver.
Li Hao also heard him say that he was contracting coal mine projects, and wanted to know more, so he said: "We have ten dump trucks, working in the coal mine, on vacation, and ready to go home for the New Year." What do you call a brother? ”
"My surname is Hu, I am from Guizhou, in fact, we also need dump trucks in the mine, if you have a car here, you can introduce it to me."
Li Hao untied the rope, returned the rope to Driver Hu, threw his own into the body, and then took out his business card and said to Driver Hu: "Brother, this is my phone number, you can also leave a phone number, which is convenient for contact in the future." ”
"I'll call you on your phone." As he spoke, he took out his phone, checked the business card, and called Li Hao's mobile phone.
Yang Qianxun had already opened the co-pilot's door at this time, ready to get into the car, and said to them: "Let's rush to Golmud first, it's too cold, don't talk outside." Boss Hu, you better get in the car and start and see if you can drive. ”
"Yes, yes." Boss Hu said, got into the car, started the car, and stretched out his head and said with a smile: "It's no problem to drive, let's go?" ”
Li Hao also started the car, and the two cars slowly moved forward one after the other.
The road was slippery in snowy weather, and it was not until more than one o'clock in the afternoon that I arrived in Golmud. Stopping the car next to a restaurant, Boss Hu got out of the car, and saw that Li Hao and Yang Qianxun had no intention of stopping, so he hurriedly went over to stop them and said, "Brother, sister, it's not early, let's have some dinner here together?" ”
Li Hao said: "Forget it, let's find a place to live first, and you can eat by yourself." ”
"Don't, I want to stay, I'll leave tomorrow, under this snow, I can't leave if I want to! Eat a piece, I haven't thanked you yet, come, come! As he spoke, he pulled the door of Yang Qianhiro's side. Li Hao had no choice but to turn around and park at the door of the restaurant.
Walking into the restaurant, Yang Qianxun went to find the bathroom, and when they came back, the two had already ordered food and were chatting. Li Hao asked him, "How are you living over there?" Is it good or not? ”
Boss Hu said: "It's hard to say, I've been working for a few months, and I haven't made a lot of money, so I'll hold on." ”
"How can you contract projects if you don't make money?" Li Hao asked him strangely.
"The villager introduced, signed a contract with the mine, contracted a working face, this car is difficult to find, and the liquidity is too great, so I can't do it, how can I make money?" Boss Hu sighed and said.
"I've been to the Muli Coal Mine, and we have a few barn trucks pulling coal in Muli. You are also a contractor for this kind of project, I want you to help me analyze, how can it be difficult to find a car, there should be a lot of cars here? Li Hao asked him.
"After working for a month or two, I saw that it was not ideal, and I didn't make enough money, so I left and looked for another job to do, so I had to find another job, and there should be a lot of car maintenance, but the stability was not good."
"What is the reason?" Yang Qianxun also asked him.
"First, the climate in the mine is not good, from July to the end of September, it is the season of snow in the mine, and there are several months of wind and snow, and then the environment is not good, and the driver cannot be retained; There is also a road in the mining area, when we contracted, the mine said that it would be repaired together with several other contractors who shared this road, but they were unwilling to repair it, so the road condition was not good, and the tires of the car were broken. Anyway, there are many reasons. Ay! There are at least forty or fifty allocations in Muli Coal Mine a year, and if they all make money, they won't flow so often! After speaking, he asked Li Hao: "Brother, do you have any owners of dump trucks, can you introduce them to me?" ”
Li Hao said: "I'll help you ask, if there is, I'll tell you." ”
