Getting credit comes at a high cost.
- Gerald
Most of the students had returned to the school building, and the hustle and bustle of discussion could be heard through the cracks in the doors and windows. The tea leaves in the cup have been fully unfolded, and the tea balls that originally looked a little have now been fully stretched, filling the entire teacup, and there is a great tendency to squeeze boiling water out of the teacup.
"This tea is delicious," Ma Hualong took a big sip of the teacup, "It was a little bitter at first, and then slowly exuded a hint of sweetness, like the college entrance examination, and also like life." ”
"After some twists and turns, although there were accidents, but fortunately, the money was not very much, and finally we came to the loading place - Jinan Fruit Wholesale Market. I found the contact person and was ready to start loading, but the trouble came again, and it was really a disaster. ”
'Didn't we negotiate 40 pieces a ton, how can you change the hexagram?' My dad didn't 'spend money to eliminate disasters' this time, and reasoned with the person who loaded the car, 'You have to be trustworthy in trading.'" ’
'Can credit work better than money?' The boss of the loading car has a tiger's back and a sideways face, "The pork is rich, don't you know?" ’
"What does the increase in pork prices have to do with us loading apples?" 'Daddy doesn't give up.
'Don't you see how physically demanding it is for my employees to load the truck?' If you don't eat some pork, you won't have the strength to load the car. We've got to eat meat! The loading boss patted his dad on the shoulder, "The plan can't keep up with the big changes, you have to learn to adapt, you know?" ’
"That's not 60 dollars a ton," Dad cried a little, "you have to let me earn some too, I really can't make much money like this." ’
In the end, after the coordination of the contact person, the price of 50 yuan per meal was negotiated.
'Why don't you spend money on the disaster this time?' I don't understand why Dad was so serious this time.
'Do you know how many tons a truck contains?' Dad said to me, and held out four fingers.
'4 tons? "You really don't understand! Forty tons, my good son. Dad's expression was a little exaggerated, "40 tons, how much is the difference between 40 yuan and 60 yuan, I don't need to calculate it for you." ’
'800 blocks. I was a little surprised, 'So much!' ’
Now we're making 400 dollars less, but it's not 10 or 20 dollars, my precious son. ’
These people are dark, too. Once again, my anger was uninvited.
The guys who really work hard to load the car are just making money, but in fact, all this money ends up in their boss's pocket. Isn't there such a saying, what is it called, "Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people." "Isn't it like this since ancient times, don't tell me you haven't learned."
Then it cost another 2,000 yuan to load the truck. I remembered the money for gas.
'Something that could have been solved for 1,600 yuan. There was a bit of regret in my father's words.
'How much can we end up earning on this trip?' I began to doubt my initial judgment of the profitability of truck drivers.
'What do you think?' 'Dad is a bit of a trick.
"I have to make a fortune of 8,000 anyway." ’
I don't know, because there are still a lot of uncertainties waiting for the two of us." All you need to know is that truck drivers don't get rich overnight, only those who go bankrupt overnight. Dad had a serious face.
After the loading of the 40-ton Yantai Fuji, most of the day passed. During this time, my father and I had another lunch, pancake rolls with green onions and roast pork. Lao Hei also got full exercise. Father and son, a dog, continue on the road. But at this time, my mood is no longer as calm or excited as when I just left home. When I passed the Yellow River, my heart was churning like the muddy waves of the Mother River.
