Chapter 40: I Can Still Drink
In the first lunar month, people have been immersed in the atmosphere of the festival, and a large range of black box business has suddenly emerged in the domestic market. With the addition of more peers and the popularization of the market, the market price of black boxes has been about 1,000. Miracle Group stopped black box production a few years ago and is now disposing of some inventory at a low price, and all the company's resource support has shifted to the new IoT business.
When the other areas of the miracle were in full swing to develop new markets, Morningstar took Kelong and Kehu to maintain Tianhai's old black box customers, while holding their mobile phones and looking at the map to search for car repair stations along the road, looking for merchants to settle in. Morningstar assigned areas to the three of them, Morningstar was still mainly responsible for Jiabei District, and Wanli also followed Morningstar to run the market as usual. More than a year has passed, Wan Li has grown from a sunshine boy to a sunshine handsome guy, only half a head lower than the morning star, with fluffy short hair, wearing light-colored clothes, and walking like a child, but the wanton youthful atmosphere makes everyone who sees him feel young and beautiful.
Life is a cycle, the cold winter is coming, the early spring is coming, Morning Star is walking on the road in the suburbs with a schoolbag containing a camera memory card, promotional materials and some mineral water, Wanli carries a camera around his neck, and takes some scenery on the sidewalk at random, and he will not feel tired at all. The weather was a little cold, but when he walked a lot in a down jacket, Morning Star was already in a cold sweat. The map shows that after walking another 400 meters past the vegetable market in front, there is a repair shop in front, and after walking for a while, Morning Star saw a big sign in the distance, a very clean sign "There is no silver here".
"Wanli, you go to talk to the merchant about this auto repair shop in front, and my brother will go to the side to rest. Walk leisurely, don't smash the camera, brother now has three in the company. "Morningstar didn't want to stand up after sitting down under a tree in the corner outside the repair shop.
"Don't worry! Big brother, you just go and rest, I've learned all your tricks, look at me. Wan Li straightened his clothes, put on a harmless smile from humans and animals, and knocked on the door of the market.
"Hello, which of you is the boss?" Wanli walked up to a big man in blue overalls, covered in oil, with a lot of black on his face, who was modifying a car.
"Repairing a car?" Wan Li shook his head.
"Insurance?" Wan Li continued to shake his head, and then Dahan continued to squat down to change the tires, unwilling to take care of Wan Li. Wanli continued to ask two more people from the repair shop, but no one told him who the boss was.
"Silly, huh? You will also learn what is in the fingernails, look at the dots, like this kind of non-company self-employed, they are also registered with the industrial and commercial bureau. If you see the sign on their wall, write the name of their boss, and you can ask again. Morning Star glanced at Wan Li, who had come over in embarrassment, and pointed to him the business license hanging on the wall of the repair shop.
"Hello, who is Mr. Liu Wuyin? I have an important business to talk to him about. Wanli ran back to the repair shop and looked at the license on the wall, and then asked the three people in the repair shop.
"I am!" The first man who Wanli asked about the modified car turned to look at Wanli.
"Three hundred!" Morning Star looked at Liu Wuyin, who was expressionless, and his eyes widened.
"Master Xing!" Liu Wuyin looked at the morning star who came closer, and his face instantly smiled.
"Hahahaha....." The two walked towards each other laughing at the same time, Liu Wuyin stretched out his arms to hug, realizing that his clothes were dirty. Putting down his left hand, he stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Morning Star, and saw that his hands were full of oil, and when he was about to take back his right hand, Morning Star held Liu Wuyin's right hand hard, and pulled it, and the two hugged together.
The most rare thing for people is to have dreams, and dreams are to think about them when they dream. But if you can stick to what you love and live a healthy life, you should be happy. Liu Sanbai's real name is Liu Wuyin, and when his parents named him, they hoped that he would be able to live well and live freely even if he had no money when he grew up. When he was in college, Morningstar and his classmates made fun of him, "There is no silver three hundred taels here", and they always called him three hundred. Once, when a few people were cooling down in the pool after playing, Morning Star asked Liu Wuyin what industry he wanted to do after graduation, and Liu Wuyin shook the water droplets on his head in a dashing manner, and told Morning Star loudly in the dazzling noon sun that he would open an auto repair shop in the future, and the name would be "No Silver Here". Liu Wuyin's major in college was mechanical design, and after graduation, he was recruited by an automobile transmission company, and Chenxing went to the construction site to excavate the machine, and the contact between the two became less and less.
The two haven't seen each other for many years, and they have an endless classmate relationship. But time is the thing that can change people the most, both of them have gone through the tempering and testing of life, and there is no longer the innocence of no worries when they went to school, after a little chat, they both feel a lack of interest, a little embarrassed, fortunately, the sky at the end of winter darkened very early. Morning Star originally came here with a purpose, and it was an accident to meet an old classmate, and Liu Wuyin was also a little unsatisfied, so he had to entertain Morning Star.
"Master Xing, you were the first brother of the excavator major and the philosophy department in our school, although you played with us every day, you never lost the scholarship once. I still remember one time at a Fantasia school sports meeting, your department's excavator performance, you led the excavator to dance, and that scene was on TV at that time. Liu Wuyin also bought a house in Jiabei, and took Chenxing and Wanli to visit the house before his wife kicked him out. Liu Wuyin's house is not very big, but it is very clean, he just paid a down payment to buy a house last year, and his wife hates Liu Wuyin the most about bringing people to the house. The three of them found a Jiahui restaurant next to the community, Liu Wuyin's favorite.
"I miss that time very much, but it's a pity that I'm old. I really envy you for living the life you wanted. Wanli, put it down! Chenxing glared at Wan Li, who was holding the wine glass and sipping it lightly, sticking out his tongue to lick the liquor, and then picked up the wine glass and touched it with Liu Wuyin, and drank it all.
"I've been drawing design drawings in the office for a few years, and I feel like I'm there with a big head every day, and I don't know what I'm doing! The year before last, I resigned decisively and ran out to open a repair shop, and also did some car modification business, but unfortunately now there are only five or six people under my hands, and I can earn more than a million a year. After three glasses of white wine, the two of them no longer had that embarrassment and hiding, and they spoke a lot more casually. Liu Wuyin saw that Morning Star was in his thirties, and he still carried a schoolbag as if he was handing out flyers, which inevitably gave some classmates a sense of vanity and comparison when they met after many years.
"It's a good mix, I see that your wife doesn't seem to be your girlfriend Xie Li in college, and everyone was very optimistic about your relationship at that time, but what happened later." Morning Star was originally good at drinking, and when he met his old classmates, he was very sober-minded, and he didn't care about what Liu Wuyin said with his red neck.
"It's all fake, after graduation, I quarrel at home every day, I think I'm poor, scold me for not having the ability, and it's like this. Later, I asked my family for money to open a repair shop, and my family introduced me to my current wife, who is still a bad temper, but I don't care anymore, I heard that Xie Li is also married..... Come on, do it! Liu Wuyin poured himself full of wine, picked it up and prepared to touch one with Morning Star, when Morning Star wine was held in the air, Liu Wuyin was already bored again.
"My girlfriend is married, but the groom is not me! It's all fake, how can there be anything that lasts forever....." Liu Wuyin opened the chatterbox, and his sadness was spit on this small wine table. Morning Star also had an old wound in this regard, and he was not comforted, so he nodded, listened, and by the way, motioned Wanli to eat more meat and vegetables.
"What you lose will always come back in another way, you now have a wife, a car, a house and a career, it's not good!" Morning Star still interrupted Liu Wuyin's sadness.
"That's right! Master Xing, what do you do now? If you want to come to me, our brothers will definitely be able to open a few more repair shops. Liu Wuyin touched the runny nose and wiped it on his pants, remembering to ask Morningstar's work.
"I'm working on a car networking project now, and I want to put all the repair shops along the road on the front screen of the car, 360-degree VR viewing, and then put the specific service content on it, giving car owners a more convenient choice. This is not! I'm going to talk about this at your workshop today. Morning Star stared at a young couple behind Liu Wuyin, the girl pouted and tilted her head, and the boy was standing up and pretending to be funny, coaxing his girlfriend.
"No need to talk about it! You can do whatever you want, I'll let my brother-in-law cooperate with you. But I've heard of your Internet of Cars, it's not very reliable, if you can't get along, come to me......" Liu Wuyin couldn't hold on anymore and planted himself on the table.
"Are you full?" Morning Star finished drinking the wine in his glass and wanted to get drunk.
"Nope! Do you want to carry him? Wan Li bit a piece of stir-fried pork liver in his mouth, and his speech was slurred.
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I'm full." Morning Star poured himself another glass of wine and placed it on the table, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, the night was still so charming, and a toast song was playing in the hair salon next to it, echoing in the empty street.
"The morning sun is as red as fire
Burning out my confusion brought me hope
Those who buy drunk buy oblivion and pleasure
Respect for the passers-by and the twists and turns of the rest of your life
I can still drink, I can still drink
I can still drink the wine of life
The world is changing rapidly, and I am still me
I can't find a friend to accompany me."
