Chapter 39: Big Trouble (1000 Plus Recommended)
Li Runfu drove the carriage to the side of the small two-wheeled carriage and waited for the guests to take their seats. Seeing that someone was robbing him for business, Li Runfu's heart was very uncomfortable. But what can be done? Is it possible to stop others from doing business? It's just a fair game.
The carriage in front of you is slightly larger than the average two-wheeled carriage, so you can sit in it without feeling crowded. The coachman kept shouting, or because the price was two dollars cheaper than Li Runfu's carriage, all the guests who came over hesitated and chose the small two-wheeled carriage. From time to time, the coachman looked at them with a look of triumph.
Li Runfu watched the guests get into the carriage, and became anxious, he turned his head and whispered to his daughter, "Otherwise, we will also reduce the fare to 5 yuan, so that the guests will definitely choose our carriage." ”
Ah Xing shook her head, isn't this vicious competition? It's completely unnecessary, if the other party reduces the price again, won't they have to reduce it again? If the price is overdone, it will never rise again in the future! It's yourself who suffers!
"Daddy, don't worry, have you forgotten what the boss of the car dealer told us? The stability of the small two-wheeled carriage is not good, and it is very dangerous for him to enlarge the body and carry so many people! He can't do this business for long! ”
Li Runfu couldn't help frowning when he heard his daughter say this: "Oh, this is not good, he must not know this, Ah Xing, you hurry up and remind him, otherwise something really happened is not good, it is not easy for everyone to come out to find a life, it makes no sense that we know the danger and don't tell him!" ”
Ah Xing was a little reluctant: "I'm afraid that he still doesn't appreciate it, thinking that we said it on purpose!" ”
"Let's remind him, as for whether he listens or not, it's his business, if he doesn't say it, in case something really happens to him, I don't feel comfortable!"
Seeing that her father insisted, Ah Xing had no choice but to get out of the carriage and walk to the side of the small two-wheeled carriage, raised her head and said loudly, "Uncle! ”
When the coachman heard the shouting, he turned his head to look at Ah Xing, his face was vigilant, and he said coldly: "What are you doing?" ”
Looking at his appearance, Ah Xing couldn't wait to turn around and leave, but looking at the people in the carriage, there were also their regular customers, and she didn't want them to have an accident. She took a deep breath and continued: "Uncle, the small two-wheeled carriage can't hold so many people, it will overturn!" She deliberately said it loudly so that the people in the carriage could hear her words and get off the train on their own initiative.
The passengers immediately became agitated, and some even shouted to the driver: "If you are in a hurry, you should return the money to me, I will not sit down, there is no need to take your life to save two dollars!" ”
The rest of the passengers made the request.
When the coachman saw this scene, he was furious, thinking that Ah Xing was here to make trouble, and shouted to Ah Xing: "Stinky boy, get away!" Don't come to make trouble for Lao Tzu, and see that Lao Tzu's business is good, you will be red-eyed, right! If you have the ability, you can also reduce the price! To use such despicable means! As he spoke, he spat in the direction of Ah Xing.
Ah Xing's body flashed, and she couldn't avoid the spit, and her face immediately sank: "Pulling the car, I kindly remind you that it's your business if you don't listen, but don't hurt others!" As he spoke, he turned his face to look at the passengers, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not talking nonsense, this carriage is in danger of overturning at any time, believe it or not!" ”
When the passengers heard her say this, they dared to sit and asked the driver to return the money. The coachman retorted: "Don't believe this stinky boy's words, he is jealous of my good business and deliberately slandered me, I have also run a lot today, isn't it still good, my old Zhao has been driving for so many years, when did he overturn the car?" Sit in peace! After speaking, Ah Xing glared, and said viciously: "Stinky boy, if you talk nonsense here again, be careful that Lao Tzu whips you to death!" ”
As he spoke, he whipped the horse, and the horse was in pain, and he ran with his hooves. When the passengers saw that he would not return the money, they repeatedly assured him that the carriage was starting again, and they had to sit down in their seats again.
Li Runfu saw that his daughter was being insulted, and he had already gotten out of the car to protect his daughter's side, and when he saw the carriage walking away, he patted his daughter's back and said, "It's Daddy who is not good and has wronged you!" We did what we had to do, and I hope he has the best of luck! ”
Ah Xing shook her head and said, "I don't want those guests to have an accident either!" ”
Next, Ah Xing and the others waited for half an hour to fill the carriage. On the way back, when I passed a big corner, I found that the carriage had overturned on the ground, and it was in a mess all around, surrounded by people, and from time to time I heard the cries of people, and the coachman just now was lying on the side. The leg was bloody, and the injury was not light. He was beating the ground and crying bitterly, and when he saw Ah Xing and them passing by, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Ah Xing, his eyes were full of remorse. The carriage passed by them and did not stop.
Li Runfu sighed, his eyes were full of compassion, "Alas, I hope there is no death...... Ah Xing looked back, and saw that people from the yamen and doctors had arrived at the scene, and carried the injured away one by one, Ah Xing looked carefully, there were 5 people, and they could still move.
"Daddy, it doesn't seem like there's a dead person."
Li Runfu sighed: "That's good, if someone dies, then the coachman will be in trouble." Now it's about accompanying some money. ”
But losing money alone was enough to bankrupt the coachman.
That day's income returned to the level of weekdays, and in the following days, A-Xing still pretended to be a boy and followed her father out of the car, because she didn't cook at noon, the two of them bought something to eat outside, and they couldn't go back until dark at night.
Because of that accident, no one dared to use a two-wheeled carriage to solicit customers, and even if there were, no one dared to sit on it, and the four-wheeled carriage was not something that everyone could afford, so there was only one carriage in Jincheng for the time being, and the business was very prosperous.
During this time, they still took a break in the theater. But the atmosphere in the theater seems to be getting heavier day by day, Guo Lin sighs from time to time, Liu Guihua is not as enthusiastic about Li Runfu as he is on weekdays, and the rest of the theater is also depressed.
Guo Lin said to Li Runfu's father and daughter: "Fang Mozhu may be leaving, he has been saying that he is sick and can't play in the past few days, so he will force Boss Ling!" It's really a conscienceless thing, and I'll finish singing the booked play! ”
"The hearts of the theater are fluctuating, several famous plays are gone, and paying a little silver is considered compensation, but what is the use of that bit of silver? I wanted to sue but couldn't, the theater hasn't opened for a few days! ”
Liu Guihua was also worried: "Boss Ling hasn't eaten in the past few days, and the food brought to his room is brought out as it is." People have lost more than one lap, which makes people feel distressed to watch...... Last time, I also heard Steward Lin tell him that the landlord wants to increase the rent and pay it for half a year at once, and all the money from the theater will be used to compensate the guests. Isn't it a mistake to make such a request at this time? It's not intentional either......"
"Fortunately, Mei Xianghua was moved by Boss Ling and stayed, and now there is only one corner of him in the theater, but he is not young anymore, even if he stays, he can't replace Fang Mozhu!" Guo Lin's face was full of sadness: "This time the theater is in big trouble......"
It's late, I'm sorry~~
