Chapter 239: Wind outlet
Not even a week after the Spring Festival, the windows of the Luo family’s small kitchen were patched up.
A wooden frame bed with bunk beds was also moved into Ning Weimin's hut.
Twenty-two-year-old Luo Guangliang not only has a stable place to stay.
I also have an individual license and my own tricycle.
He truly opened a new page in his life.
Of course, no one wants to be a tricycle driver when they are born.
Because this is a job that has always been called "hard and tiring" by people in the capital.
It has no technical content and no future.
Even if you work to the extreme, in the eyes of others, you are still a stinky driver.
To be honest, if Luo Guangliang, a young champion, had not gone blind in one step, he would have become an alternative element despised by society.
No matter how strong he was, he would not go out on a mission, and he would not join the business where he could not see the light in front of him.
But then again, misfortunes lie on blessings, and blessings lie on misfortunes.
When God closes one door, he will open another window for you.
Until the last moment, it is actually difficult for you to know whether you have lost or gained.
Take this tricycle for example.
Who would have thought that in today's environment, this inconspicuous industry that has existed in the capital for decades would turn out to be a good business that makes a lot of money every day.
This is not just a boast, it really is.
First of all, let’s talk about the social environment, urban construction and economic development are making great strides, and the demand for logistics is naturally growing rapidly.
Under the objective conditions of lack of motor vehicles, our society has no other choice but to rely on human-powered tricycles to maintain normal logistics needs in the city.
This means that this is the golden age of this backward logistics method.
In addition, what is different from the past is that the economic system has also undergone new changes.
Since the educated youth returned to the city, the country had to make some concessions in its policies in order to solve the employment problem.
From the day the individual operating license is approved.
The government gives low tax rates and full freedom to individual industrial and commercial households who are willing to do their own business.
Therefore, the current tricycle drivers who run single gangs are really not the same thing as the state-owned tricycle drivers.
Reflected in income, it can lead to a huge difference.
Don’t believe it yet, you must know that the country has actually set a unified standard for the freight rates of tricycles these days.
It is stipulated that freight transportation in each area within the Second Ring Road is RMB 50.
Passenger fare is 80 cents per person and 1.4 cents for two persons.
Between the Second Ring Road and the Third Ring Road, freight costs RMB 80 per area.
Passenger transport costs one yuan per person and one yuan and eighty for two persons.
The price per kilometer outside the third ring road is one yuan per kilometer for freight.
Passenger transportation costs 60 cents per kilometer for one person and one yuan for two people.
This pricing standard is obviously dead and cannot be moved for the state-owned lifting companies.
But it is different for individual tricycle drivers.
They have full flexibility in their asking prices.
If they compete with state-owned tricycles, they can lower their prices to grab work.
If you encounter a guest in distress, don’t understand the situation.
They can also take advantage of the trend to raise the price and make a killing.
Secondly, because one has a guaranteed harvest despite droughts and floods, while the other relies on self-reliance, their labor enthusiasm is completely different.
The tricycle driver of the state-owned crane company is under the control of the state, and his salary is a small amount.
They are generally assigned by affiliated lifting companies to do their jobs, and most of them cooperate with warehouses and stores.
Basically making two trips a day, you can earn a salary ranging from thirty to fifty.
Their only chance to make some living money.
I just sit back and wait in the crane club, waiting for someone who occasionally needs a car to find me.
But just one trip is not much.
The bulk has to be handed over to the government, so I can basically just settle down and drink for 80 cents.
So most of the tricycle drivers who belong to the lifting club want to be comfortable.
I never had the motivation to find work on my own.
After these people finish their routine work every day, they almost always hang out at the door of the crane club.
Everyone held a big teapot in their hands and cheap cigarettes in their mouths, chatting together and talking.
Or just find a place to play chess or poker.
On the other hand, individual tricycle drivers are all masters who see all directions and listen to all directions.
Whether they are out during the day or at night, they have to look for any money. Wherever there is work, there is no shortage of jobs. No matter how much work there is, it is never too much.
Some people are good at taking long detours, some are good at shooting and bluffing, and some are good at taking fat jobs from foreigners and outsiders.
Everyone shows his or her own abilities, and they dare to use any tricks in order to make more money.
Perhaps because of his good tutoring, Luo Guangliang is quite diverse among them.
He is one of the few real people who walks the path of Dora running fast.
He doesn't pick jobs very much. Whether it's people or goods, he just does it when someone asks him.
He does the hard work that others don't like to do. Anyway, he doesn't like to be idle.
Sometimes I do the night job of waiting for the last train at the train station late at night, just to earn more money.
Even if he seems to be at a disadvantage, others laugh at him.
Everyone thinks he is as stupid as Xiangzi played by Zhang Fengyi in the movie just released this year.
He still enjoys it.
Because in fact, his income is no less than anyone else, and it is even quite stable.
At least I can put a small amount of twenty yuan in my pocket every day, which is equivalent to a quarter of the salary of a serious industrial worker.
So to put it bluntly, individual tricycle drivers these days are pigs sitting on the wind.
At a time when most people in society still can’t shame themselves into doing this.
Being able to guard such a precious place as the Beijing Railway Station or the long-distance bus station.
Also has pricing freedom and low tax rates.
There is no doubt that the right time, place and people are all present.
If this doesn’t make money, then who else can?
Objectively speaking, apart from the fact that it is very physically demanding, it is not respectable, and you cannot earn foreign exchange coupons.
Their income can almost catch up with taxi drivers who drive cars
As for their role in this city, it is indeed very similar to the "yellow-faced" ones that became popular in Beijing and Tianjin in the early 1990s. .
Everyone is really a little rich man who hides his secrets.
Otherwise, why would a new word become popular right now?
Master Baner!
Listen, even a tricycle driver has become a rich man.
This best reflects the differences between the old and new societies.
Needless to say, Luo Guangliang entered this industry by accident, and he can be regarded as catching the dividends of the times.
Like the cook who runs the greenhouse and the carpenter who makes furniture, he has become the person most needed by society in this era.
As a result, his life became more and more vigorous, and he almost never rested at home for a whole day.
Why?
Just because I taste the sweetness of life! The money is so good!
Whether it is waiting for work at the train station, odd jobs met on the road, or sweet jobs that Ning Weimin entrusted to his colleagues at the Chongwenmen Hotel.
Luo Guangliang is willing to do it. He is addicted to making money.
Don't talk about the car, let him earn it in one day.
He returned the entire car to its original location and it didn't last more than half a month.
From then on, the money he borrowed was repaid, and La Dora and Lao Shao were all his own, and he relaxed immediately.
If you feel comfortable in your heart, you will be more kind to others, and you will pull the cart more smoothly and with greater satisfaction.
From this moment on, Luo Guangliang became even more angry.
If this continues, he believes that after two years of work, or at most two years, he will be able to realize the four modernizations in his family.
They are all people with a father and a mother. Of course, he is not happy to watch his own mother wash clothes by hand.
Of course he also wanted his biological father to replace the "Mao San'er" that was sold at a low price with bottled wine.
Besides, he also has a brother, a sister-in-law and a nephew, and he has to start a family himself.
In a word, I am afraid of poverty!
Having Ben Tou is better than anything else. He really doesn’t begrudge his little strength.
What's the point of being busy and tired? Strength is a slave, come back when you use it up!
When he was sweating profusely and pedaling on the road, he saw those peers who were doing nothing.
There was no envy in his heart, only joy.
What Kang Shude and Ning Weimin told him is all in his mind and heart.
That’s right! A person always encounters difficulties sometimes!
The important thing is not to abandon or give up, and to have faith in life that you can survive everything!
He believed, he really believed, that the day when he would be accepted by his family would not be too far away!
