One Hundred Years (17)

I took the lid of my father's mineral water, thought about it, and said, "I think it's a train station, an airport, or something." When I came back from out of town when I was studying, I was so tired of carrying a large bag that I wanted to take the car. Of course, in that case, you won't want to squeeze the bus, and the taxi business should be the best at that time. ”

"The train station and airport are similar, but it's not actually these places the most. But even if you're right, your dad and I are not highly educated. You said your school was back? You've been in college for a few years, right? ”

"Graduated from a bachelor's degree and studied marketing." I said.

"Coincidentally, your mother is also a major, but it's far away. At the beginning, there were really a lot of people running to the airport and train station, and everyone was waiting for others to rush home to collect money. The effect is really good, and I make a little bit of money every month. The problem is that the guest is tired, and the driver is also tired. I also have to help carry my luggage up and down, and the management is becoming more and more strict. At the beginning, everyone cut the queue here. Park the car and stand at the door and wait, whoever arrives first will pick up the customer. Take it and walk away, and we won't go if the guest says it's close. The guest said far away, and he could fight to grab this business. Later, it became a queue for cars, and there was a long queue of customers. One person and one car, where to go is far or near to see the guests. I can't refuse to carry it like this, and business is not as good as before. There is also a place where business is never bad. ”

"Never bad? Not a train station and an airport? It can't be the door of the hotel, right? I said.

"It is the most lively place in the city, a department store and a western-style building."

"Department stores? Places like Wanda and Xintiandi now? I said.

"Yes, near the business district. The place to shop is preferably a two-lane auxiliary road. ”

"Wait, it can't be, right? Indeed, at that time, the people who bought department stores were rich people. Rich people are relatively generous, but they don't necessarily have the ability to spend, right? The traffic in the urban area is so large, and there are complete bus routes in the urban area, so there is no need to take a taxi, right? I said.

"The starting price is five yuan, and no matter where we go, we shout fifty and don't play the meter. Love goes or not, just like that, we won't have less than ten orders a day. It's five hundred a day, and fifteen thousand a month. Excluding the cost of food and drink, 10,000 a month is appropriate. ”

"Crazy, right? How can it be? Five yuan to start and shout fifty? That's ninety-years, right? In the era when you could buy a lot of things for a dollar? I said.

Fifty-one orders no matter where they go? Ten orders a day is five hundred, and a month is fifteen thousand. 150,000 a year and 300,000 a Chinese New Year's Eve really won't be less. But is this possible?

Dad laughed, I've never seen a laugh like this.

That feeling of a wise man laughing at a foolish, that feeling that your dad is your dad after all.

"You're exaggerating again, but it's pretty much the same. One dollar can do a lot of things, but at that time, a big brother also cost tens of thousands. There is nothing impossible in the age of pagers in the thousands. Prices are like that, it's about psychology. ”

"Psychological? What and what? I said.

"How do you think you can get these people to spend fifty dollars willingly?" Dad said.

I was stunned, my head full of thoughts.

"It's completely impossible, you can go where you can go now at twenty without calling a watch and shouting fifty. I just knew I wouldn't get in the car, let alone before. I said.
