The third and second tricycle rental companies
Host:1 To Page:1
The road to Anchangwei has not been renovated yet, but the foundation has been leveled, and it has not rained in the past few days, although it is still a dirt road, it is much easier to walk than before. The tricycle carries the wind and dust all the way, but it is not too bumpy.
Along the way, Luo Jiaying chatted with the coachman without a word, but he knew some "news". This kind of tricycle is owned by a company called the Hong Kong and Kowloon Taxi Company, which has more than 20 such tricycles, which are mainly operated in Yau Tsim Mong in Kowloon and Admiralty and Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. The original main means of carrying people - the business of the sedan chair was completely robbed by it, because it is the business of the chiefs, the sedan chair and the sedan chair man also dare not speak out, and finally the chief of the sedan car and the sedan chair man have absorbed into the taxi company to calm the people's complaints, this coachman is the original sedan chair man, in his words, "this tricycle is convenient and convenient, riding is easy, the sedan chair is two people to carry a person, now the tricycle is a person to pull two people, the sedan chair is destined to be unable to grab the tricycle." ”
The coachman's mouth is non-stop, and he has inherited the characteristics of the taxi driver who is good at talking about the mountains in the original time and space, as if he knows everything in the sky and the earth. In fact, he did not know that the Hong Kong and Kowloon Taxi Company was the first real private company of the survivors. Lin Guangji, the owner of the company, was just a migrant worker engaged in illegal operation of three wheels in the original time and space, in his forties, with no education and no technology, and could only live by selling labor in the city of Dongguan. Sweeping the streets, building buildings, and a salary of three or four thousand a month to feed a family of four, needless to mention, is not to mention, but it is also happy. Although the work of pedaling three wheels is hard, the money is much more than in the past, but it takes a long time to play "catch and hide" with the traffic police, road administration, and urban management. Unfortunately, the cataclysm devastated all this, and his wife and ten-year-old son became victims of mutants, and he had to fight to survive with his seven-year-old daughter until he found shelter in a safe zone.
In the new time and space, because he has no skills, he can also be an ordinary construction worker on the construction site. This time he came to Kowloon to work, and accidentally found a business opportunity, the only means of transportation in Hong Kong and Kowloon is a sedan chair, and rich people will raise one by themselves, and merchants who come and go will hire one. This kind of transportation is wasteful and inefficient, and of course it is scoffed at by the survivors, but no one thinks of banning it, but Lin Guangji sees a business opportunity in it. As a former employee of the passenger transport industry, he knows how much potential this market has become. In a town in Dongguan, there are hundreds of people who use bicycles and three-wheelers to illegally carry passengers, greatly squeezing the market for buses and taxis. Convenience and cheapness are the reasons why people choose them more. Seeing the merchants bargaining with the sedan chair driver at the wharf, Lin Guangji recalled the days when he used to pedal three wheels, and then watched the two sedan chair drivers carry the sedan chair all the way, and the car bumpeded up and down regularly with the movement frequency of the sedan chair driver, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, the tricycle was much more comfortable to sit on than this sedan chair. Then the idea sprouted in his heart like a seed, and with his knowledge of the original passenger transport market, he decided that there was a lot to be done here for passenger tricycles. So he made the boldest decision of his life, proposing to the management committee to contract a tricycle rental company.
This is the first survivor to propose to go it alone, and after discussion, the view of supporting survivors to start their own businesses has become the mainstream, after all, it is impossible for the management committee to follow the example of a certain party in the early days of the government, and take care of all industries. It is better for a service industry like passenger transport to be handed over to the private sector. As a result, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Transportation passed the examination and approval, issued the license, and waived the contract fee for this year as a support policy. And thirty tricycles were also half-given to the first person to eat crabs in the form of interest-free loans.
Lin Guangji borrowed a room at the residence of the Jiulong County Government, hung up the company's sign, and then negotiated with the sedan company. With the support of the Liberation Army behind the scenes, the negotiations went smoothly, and the sedan car company invested in human resources, after all, the sedan chair man is the most suitable choice for the car lady, and being familiar with the road is the biggest advantage. In this way, the former tricycle driver became the owner of the current taxi company. As soon as the three-wheeled taxi was introduced to the market, it was welcomed by the public, and because of its low price, even ordinary people could afford it. Wealthy owners with sedan chairs were affected by this trend and also offered to taxi companies to buy tricycles. Trading companies will naturally not let go of any opportunity to make money, take the opportunity to put bicycles and tricycles on the market, in addition to earning real money, but also let bicycles into the lives of ordinary people, bicycle power has begun to emerge.
As the first few walled villages from Long, the cement road has been built to the entrance of the village, which can be regarded as a reward for Anchangwei. After Luo Jiaying got out of the car, he was recognized by the children playing at the entrance of the village, and a group of small road boys surrounded him to ask for candy. Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time, so he coaxed these little ones and hugged him and walked back. Along the way, the sergeant found that there were hardly any young people in the village, and that the people who stayed in the village were children except the elderly. While greeting the elders who appeared from time to time, he kept the doubts in his heart. After entering the walled house, the old patriarch had already heard the news and was waiting in the hall. Luo Jiaying took off his military hat, and then respectfully kowtowed to the patriarch. The old patriarch looked at the junior in front of him, who he was optimistic about, and after a few months, the person became darker and stronger, and his eyebrows were full of vitality. This made the old patriarch very satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face, "Yingzai! Just come back, sit down and talk. ”
Luo Jiaying responded, and found a seat to sit down, and the upright sitting posture that had developed a habit made the other elders in the clan secretly surprised. From the patriarch's account, Luo Jiaying knew that since he left home to serve as a soldier, many young people in the Luo family worked under the chief. Not only men, but even young women went to more than a dozen, and Luo Jiaxi was one of them when he met him at the market. The young people have gone too far, and the work in the fields needs to be more borne by the old people, and those who go to work for the chiefs:1 To Page:2 The hearts of the young people have become wild, and some of them even dare to talk back to the elders, and often talk about the words of the chiefs that "there is no king and no father". Moreover, some of them also cut their braids in a fashionable way, and the girls no longer bound their feet, which made the patriarch feel that his authority had been challenged, and made him very worried that "in the long run, the country will not be a country".
In the past few months in the army, Luo Jiaying has not only learned combat skills, but also been influenced by new ideas, and the young people themselves are disgusted with too much discipline by their elders, so he is very unimpressed with the patriarch's worries. It's just that he didn't dare to show this idea, and he also wanted to comfort the old patriarch, "Based on what my grandchildren have seen and heard in the army in the past few months, in the next ten years, the Liberation Army will sweep the world." At this time, it is just a matter of gathering strength and waiting for the time to move. The brothers and sisters of the clan can now follow the chief, and the future is very promising. The number of chiefs is only more than 1,000, and the soldiers and horses are only 2,000. The prefect, the prefect, or the general, the deputy general, that is just around the corner. Luo Jiaying did not echo the patriarch's condemnation of the young people in the clan, but explained the importance of following the leader from practical interests, which made the old patriarch unable to say anything. If the political commissar of the military academy knows that his political and ideological education is such a result, he does not know whether he should cry or laugh.
Then the old patriarch asked Luo Jiaying about his experience in the army in the past few months. During the Battle of Hong Kong, On Cheong Wai was not far from the front line, and the sound of gunfire could be heard clearly. In those days, the deafening artillery fire and the smoke of gunpowder that covered the sky and the sun made the whole clan very frightened, fearing that the defeat of the Guangfu army would be the end of their own family. Later, I heard the clansmen in front of the branch come back and say that the position of the Guangfu Army was as solid as a rock, so I was relieved. Unexpectedly, in just five days, more than 10,000 Yingyi was defeated, and even Hong Kong Island was recaptured by the Liberation Army. It's just that the two sides have only heard some hearsay about the battle, and they don't know much about the specific situation. After being educated in the code of secrecy, Luo Jiaying naturally knew what to say and what not to say, so he focused on the beachhead defensive battle. In this battle, his experience can be regarded as nine deaths, white-knuckle battles, rocket attacks, and every brush with death. Luo Jiaying was already eloquent and had personal experience, and the audience at the scene felt as if they were in the scene in his narration, and they had a preliminary understanding of the blood, fire and hell of modern warfare. For the first time, I also knew that only half of the real British in Yingyi's army were British, and the rest were Tianzhu people, Tianzhu Huizi, and a kind of savage called Ko'erge. These are the descendants of the Mongols, who were exiled between Tibet and Tianzhu to establish their own country, and are now hired by the British to fight. This Kuo'er people have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and they are more flexible than monkeys, and Luo Jiaying almost suffered a loss in their hands. As for the content of the troops who went to the battlefield for the first time and ran around under the rapid attack of rockets, and suffered heavy casualties, it is forbidden to leak it because it does not conform to the image of the great and upright army of the Liberation Army. Since then, the Buyi Battalion has been in a state of soy sauce because of its vitality, and Luo Jiaying has only participated in some work of cleaning the battlefield and escorting prisoners. He had only heard some of the battles and sieges on Hong Kong Island told his classmates at the military academy, and now he is just relaying them.
The elders of the clan still had a reflection of the war at the level of a large group of people, listening to Luo Jiaying's account of the soldiers being cut off their hands and feet, their heads cut off, and even blown up to the bones, and the faces of the old men turned pale. The old patriarch took a sip of tea before calming down his situation and asked, "Yingzai, what are your plans in the future?" ”
"Naturally, the grandchildren will continue to serve in the army." Luo Jiaying thought to herself, isn't this an obvious thing? Ever since he heard the political commissar of the military academy say, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", he has regarded this sentence as a golden rule, and he has been working hard to achieve the goal of being a general.
"I'm not asking about that." The old patriarch put on an expression of concern for the younger generation, "You will be twenty years old after the New Year, shouldn't you and the girl of the Wang family also do it?" ”
