Chapter 416: Encountering a taxi from your own company
Lin Qiangsheng found a public telephone service desk in the departure hall, he called home, it was already six o'clock in the evening, he first chatted with his mother and told her that he was going back to Bincheng.
"Johnson & Johnson, your sister and brother-in-law didn't come back?" Xu Hongmei asked.
Lin Qiangsheng glanced at Mary Gretel, who was approaching, and then said: "My sister just gave birth and can't fly, and my nephew has just been a full moon, so I advise them to stay abroad for half a year and wait for the child to be older." ”
Xu Hongmei said with a smile: "That's okay, you can't let your sister and the child pay attention to their bodies if anything, let's wait for a while and then take a plane back, it's just that the two members of the Lao He family are always clamoring to see their grandson!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Otherwise, just send these two elders abroad for a tour, and it will be regarded as a tour!" ”
"Okay, why don't I talk to Lin Xiang and her mother-in-law?" Xu Hongmei said.
"Mom, where's my father?" Lin Qiangsheng asked his mother.
"Your dad often came home late after becoming the director of the second automobile factory, and he must be in the factory again, I heard that there is going to be a big reorganization recently!" Xu Hongmei said.
Lin Qiangsheng's father, Lin Xiangrong, was transferred from the position of general manager of Bincheng Automobile Sales Company to the director and general manager of the second plant of Bincheng Automobile Company, and his position was promoted by half a level.
Plant 2 mainly produces Wrangler jeeps, but this plant also produces pickup trucks and modified cars, and now produces less than 3,000 vehicles of various types per year.
With the emergence of several sedan products in China, jeeps are inevitably forgotten by many people, and this kind of car has become a cold product from the original hot sales. The people began to look forward to a car that ran easily and sat energetically, and the Chinese people felt that only the sedan was a car with face and grade, and models such as jeeps and pickup trucks gradually could not enter the eyes of the Chinese people. These two types of cars are only needed in some special sectors such as geological exploration or mining areas and the military, and the market sales are becoming more and more narrow.
Lin Xiangrong went to the second factory as the factory director, although he left the hot position of the automobile sales company, but his qualifications were still improved. At least now when people meet them, they will be honored as a factory director.
For Lao Lin's family, this is also a good thing, leaving the eye-catching sales position is equivalent to leaving a nest of right and wrong. For Lin Qiangsheng, he hopes that his family can have a happy life, and he can be safe, stable, prosperous and happy for a lifetime.
Lin Qiangsheng hung up the phone after saying a few more words to his mother, and after thinking about it, he dialed another phone number.
"Hey. Who is it? A young female voice came from there.
"Wang Yun, it's me, Johnson & Johnson! I'm in the capital! Lin Qiangsheng said to the woman.
"Ah, Johnson, you're back, where are you? I'll pick you up! Wang Yun said happily on the phone, and there was a sound of the chair being moved.
"Yao Jinyun and Wu Fang, are they okay?" Lin Qiangsheng asked again.
Wang Yun said: "The two of them are very busy now, running all over the country!" Now that Shen Rui and I are in the capital, I will call her, how about we go to Donglaishun for a meal together? ”
"I have 5 hours left to get on the plane and go back to Ben Thanh!" Lin Qiangsheng looked at his watch and said.
"Huh? You're going again! Then come to my house. I'll cook a few dishes, you eat and then go! Wang Yun said with some disappointment.
Lin Qiangsheng looked at the time, then at the deserted waiting hall and a few CIA people, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take a taxi to you!" ”
"Okay! I'll go home now, and the food will be ready when you get to me!" Wang Yun said happily.
Lin Qiangsheng hung up the phone and said to Mary Gretel, who was standing not far away: "I'm going to a friend's house for dinner!" ”
"Mr. Lin, you can't act alone, so it's difficult for us to guarantee your safety!" Mary Gretel also had no good reason to stop Lin Johnson from meeting his friends. She had to take out Lin Qiangsheng's safety and talk about it.
Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "It's okay, you can go with me!" ”
Mary Gretel was stunned. She hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it's not a good idea, I don't know your friends!" ”
"It's okay, you go and talk to Schmidt, I don't want to see his dead face all the time, as if I owe him money and don't pay it back!" Lin Qiangsheng pointed to a few people from the CIA not far away.
Mary Gretel looked back, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay then! ”
"I'll be waiting for you at the airport gate!" After Lin Qiangsheng finished speaking, he walked towards the door.
Mary Gretel said anxiously: "You wait for me! She walked briskly over to Schmidt's side and whispered a few words to him. The two were arguing again, and Schmidt angrily ordered an agent to follow Mary.
Lin Qiangsheng had no objection to having one more person, he stopped a taxi at the door, took out a 100-yuan dollar bill, handed it to the driver, and said: "I want to drive as fast as I can, I want half an hour to the city!" ”
The driver looked at the few people sitting in the car and asked Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, "Half an hour?" He looked at the hundred dollars handed over and was stunned, and the driver reacted in a blink of an eye, snatched the banknote, looked at it, and then said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Isn't it half an hour?" Today I gave away a hundred pounds. Dude, look at it! ”
Lin Qiangsheng laughed, the driver slammed on the accelerator, and the taxi rushed out, pushing several people close to the backrest at once.
"What did you say to the driver? He's driving too fast! Mary Gretel suddenly grabbed Lin Qiangsheng who was in the co-pilot's seat and asked.
Lin Qiangsheng turned around and said loudly: "Take a break, you'll be there in a while!" ”
He noticed that the car was a Jetta, and the paint color was white and green, a standard Beijing taxi company's car.
This company is a joint venture between him and the traffic management department of the Beijing government, and now this company is the largest and only taxi company in Beijing. It has more than 1,500 taxis, covering the taxi needs of the capital and surrounding counties.
With the continuous development of the city's size, population and economy, the number of taxis will increase significantly in the future, and Lin Qiangsheng estimates that 1,000 new taxis will be invested every year to catch up with the development and changes of the capital!
At present, 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions of the country have set up taxi companies in the provincial capitals and first, second and third tier cities, and these enterprises have monopolized the domestic taxi market by means of joint ventures with local governments and traffic management departments, forming a large state-owned enterprise that actually spans all regions of the country!
Lin Qiangsheng trained a large number of drivers through the Flying Driving School, and these people were recruited by these companies after completing their graduation and obtaining their driver's licenses. They are equivalent to the workers of the enterprise, the taxi is the machine of the enterprise, and the driver is the operator!
This method is different from the pseudo-contracting system in the previous life, and does not require the driver to pay the so-called share money and other expenses. Although the management method is more traditional than the previous life, the industry is still in its infancy, and it is very moldable!
Lin Qiangsheng developed a new system. In order to effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of drivers, taxi companies adopt the method of salary + commission + bonus. The bonuses are divided into attendance awards, service awards, and performance awards, and the bonuses add up to more than the salary, as well as the commission ratio. After the implementation of this salary method, taxi drivers have become one of the most popular jobs in China, like most taxi drivers in the capital area have a monthly salary of no less than 120 yuan, which is an absolute high salary in this era!
In addition, taxi companies allow drivers to collect tips, which are not included in the fare and can be kept for themselves. This is a big boon for taxi drivers who can pick up foreign guests.
The treatment and benefits are good, and the corresponding punishment system is also relatively severe. The head office has set up a reporting hotline, and customers who are not satisfied with the service in various regions can call and write a letter to complain, and the company will deduct the corresponding bonuses and commissions after the investigation is confirmed. For many times the driver who has not changed his ways, the head office will be fired, and if the regional branches have concealed prevarication or caused major losses to the company, even the branch manager will be held accountable!
Lin Qiangsheng has worked hard to build a relatively stable salary system and management system, which has ensured the labor results and service quality of the drivers to the greatest extent. In his previous life, Lin Qiangsheng was very impressed by the taxi industry in Japan and the United Kingdom, and the professionalism and serious work attitude of taxi drivers in these two countries made Lin Qiangsheng very envious. He's trying to make his taxi company like that.
But the industry did come as a surprise to everyone, including himself. At the beginning, one of Lin Qiangsheng's ideas created such a giant enterprise. Many people did not expect that the scale of this enterprise is beyond the imagination of senior leaders, it is no longer an ordinary level of joint ventures, and the top management has no rules for treating this company, everything is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and always observe its development.
Leaning back in his seat, Lin Qiangsheng stared at the road in front of him. The driver has driven the car to a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, there are fewer cars on the airport road, and soon arrived in Shunyi, and it took a short time to get out of Shunyi, and finally it took a total of half an hour to enter the capital.
Jetta taxis turn north from Chang'an Avenue onto Jinbao Street until they reach the vicinity of Wangfujing. The car stopped in front of a large courtyard house.
"Yo, you live here? This compound is magnificent! Looking at the two majestic stone lions and the porch with red lacquer pillars in front of the door, the driver said with envy.
Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "No, just come to see a friend, how much?" ”
"Hey, aren't you giving money! I've charged you a hundred dollars! The driver said generously.
Lin Qiangsheng said: "What I just gave you is counted as a tip, and I haven't paid the fare on your meter yet!" ”
He glanced at the meter, and the numbers on it showed nearly 7 yuan, and in '83 a taxi was less than 3 cents per kilometer.
Lin Qiangsheng took out 10 yuan and handed it to the driver and said, "Take it, your taxi company also has rules not to make mistakes!" Wait for me here, I'll be back at the airport in two or three hours! ”
When the driver heard him say this, he nodded with a smile and said, "You are righteous!" Well, then I'll be waiting for you right here! ”
Lin Qiangsheng pushed the door and got out of the car, and Mary Gretel followed, and she almost fell when she followed Lin Qiangsheng up the steps with weak legs and feet.
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said to Mary: "I wish I had known that you were waiting for me at the airport!" ”
Mary held the stone lion and said, "It's okay, I'll be fine in a while!" She turned to the agent who came with her and said, "You wait for us outside, pay attention to your surroundings!" ”
The other agent nodded, and he looked up at the compound, where the stone lions and ancient porticos felt strange to the exotic realm, making him reluctant to approach the compound. (To be continued......)
