Chapter 428 Buy an electric tricycle for grandpa (300.01 million)
Cao Shujie drove the car and looked at Cao Jianlong next to him, with a heavy expression on his face.
"Uncle Long, let me tell you, don't think about anything. No one can avoid birth, old age, illness and death. Let's just do whatever we want at any age to make ourselves live a happier life."
Listening to Cao Shujie's words and seeing him driving seriously, Cao Jianlong suddenly felt a little ashamed. He was more than 20 years older than Cao Shujie, but he was not as clear-minded as Cao Shujie.
Back at Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie took Cao Jianlong home, and then drove back home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his grandfather Cao Zhenghu sitting on the sofa, playing with the radio by himself.
Seeing his grandson Cao Shujie come in, Cao Zhenghu asked him: "How is it? Is Jiangang okay?"
"It's not bad, he can talk, and he still recognizes me." Cao Shujie said to his grandfather with a smile.
But what kind of bastard talk is this? Cao Zhenghu understood the meaning after hearing the words: "Does this mean it's not going to work anymore?"
"Grandpa, let's not be so direct, okay?" Cao Shujie said.
"Hey, Jian was just over 60 years old, so why did his body collapse so quickly?" Cao Zhenghu felt sorry for him for a while.
But he is 84 years old, so there is nothing he cannot accept.
"Shujie, go and do your work." Cao Zhenghu waved his hand and continued to play with his radio.
Cao Shujie approached him and asked: "Grandpa, your radio is broken? Can I buy you a new one?"
"Why don't I buy something new? I just have nothing to do and tinker with it."
Cao Zhenghu patted the sofa seat next to him and motioned for his grandson to sit down.
"Mengmeng went to school, and there was no one at home to talk to with me. It was very boring." Cao Zhenghu said.
When Cao Shujie heard what his grandfather said, he felt a little uncomfortable. He was usually so busy that he ignored his grandfather's feelings: "Grandpa, what do you want to eat tonight? I'm going to stir-fry some vegetables, and we'll have some drinks."
Cao Zhenghu looked at his grandson with a smile but not a smile, and said to him: "I won't tell you, just go about your business."
"I'll go talk to some old buddies later."
After hearing what his grandfather said, Cao Shujie thought that it was not a problem for his grandfather to walk back and forth every day.
There are two electric tricycles at home, but his parents ride one and he rides another.
"Grandpa, I will go to town and buy you an electric tricycle now. It will be more convenient for you to ride the tricycle when you go out."
At critical moments, Cao Shujie is an activist.
He left as soon as he said so!
Before Cao Zhenghu could react, his grandson had already fled outside.
"This grandson." Cao Zhenghu laughed and scolded him.
But he could feel his grandson's concern for him, and he felt very comfortable.
Cao Shujie did not drive when he went to town this time. He waited at the stop sign at the entrance of the village for a few minutes before the town bus from Caojiazhuang to Pingyuan County arrived.
After talking about arriving at Qingshi Town and handing over a dollar, Cao Shujie found a seat by the window and sat down.
Counting him and the driver, there were two people on this bus.
When the driver opened his mouth, he called him Director Cao.
"Are there not many people taking the bus now?" Cao Shujie asked him.
The driver was chatting with Cao Shujie while driving.
Through chatting, Cao Shujie learned that not many people usually take the bus.
"Director Cao, you don't even know that our bus line is good because of Caojiazhuang. The dedicated urban buses in other towns have no people, and many times the bonuses are not paid out."
The driver was very grateful to Cao Shujie. He knew that those who came to Caojiazhuang went to Cao Shujie's orchard.
It is these people who indirectly support this line.
Cao Shujie couldn't laugh or cry at the result. He didn't expect that it would have such an effect.
But he was not complacent either.
He knew very well in his heart that it would be difficult to rely solely on Mengmeng Orchard.
"You also have to think of other ways. If no one from my place comes to play in winter, wouldn't it be uncomfortable?"
"In other words, there will be more and more private cars in the future. People who go out for fun will drive, and there will be fewer people riding in cars." Cao Shujie pointed out this point.
The driver obviously knew this, and he said helplessly: "Who says it's not the case, but there is no way to prevent this kind of thing. Just take it one step at a time. If you really can't, consider changing the industry."
Even though he said that, Cao Shujie still felt powerless from the driver's words.
Especially for people like them who have been driving and don’t know much about other industries, it is really difficult to change industries.
Having said that, the passenger transport industry had its glory days before, and those who started early also made money, while those who joined later did not even have a fishtail market.
Unconsciously, the car arrived at Qingshi Town, and the driver asked Cao Shujie where to get off.
"I'm going to buy an electric tricycle for my grandpa. Where can I get off easily near here?" Cao Shujie has never paid attention to this aspect.
The driver knew this, so he told Cao Shujie: "If you want to buy an electric tricycle, I recommend you to go to the Luyuan electric vehicle store next to Dafulun Supermarket. The quality is excellent."
When Cao Shujie heard what he said, he laughed and said, "Okay, I'll get off the bus over there."
After arriving at the place, Cao Shujie waited for the car to stop and got out through the back door.
Seeing the bus slowly moving forward, with few people getting on the bus along the way, Cao Shujie understood better than he did that the business of bus transportation would become increasingly difficult, and it was only the beginning.
If the driver just now really wanted to change his career, he might as well find a way now.
After retracting his thoughts, Cao Shujie had already seen the Luyuan electric vehicle store opposite.
The store is actually not small, and the rent is not worth it in their town.
There are two rows of electric vehicles of various styles at the entrance of the store, as well as old recycled electric vehicles.
Cao Shujie had just passed by and was about to ask. Unexpectedly, a man squatting on the ground looked at him and shouted with a smile: "Director Cao is here, do you want to buy an electric car? Wait for a moment, I will give you a question."
He fixed the tire."
You can tell, this is the boss.
"Oh, you know me too?" Cao Shujie was surprised.
I was recognized on the bus today, but I didn’t expect to be recognized again when I bought an electric car.
"No, Director Cao, you may not have noticed me, but I know you."
Cao Shujie didn't feel embarrassed at all. He squatted next to him and watched his boss repair the tire. He was very skilled at the job and it didn't take him long to repair the tire.
Inflate again and wipe saliva on the valve core habitually to ensure there is no air leakage and you are done.
The boss took three yuan from the other party, stood up and went inside to wash his hands.
He turned around and walked towards Cao Shujie with a cigarette in his hand: "Director Cao, have a cigarette first."
Cao Shujie waved his hand and turned over himself: "I don't smoke."
"Oh, if you really don't smoke, forget it. Smoking is not good for your health."
Although the boss said this, he still took out one and held it in his mouth with his backhand: "I'm used to smoking when I'm working. Sometimes I feel weak all over if I don't smoke. Don't be surprised, Director Cao."
"Hey, what does this mean? What's your last name, boss?"
The owner of the Luyuan electric vehicle store was also embarrassed to give his name. His name was Liu Qiang.
"Boss Liu, I want to buy an electric tricycle for my grandfather. Please introduce me to a sturdy one." Cao Shujie said.
Just buy something better.
"What's the price?" Liu Qiang asked habitually, but then he realized that Director Cao was not short of money at all.
"If you want to buy a sturdy tricycle, I won't lie. Director Cao, look at what's going on in the house, but you can't pull the goods."
Liu Qiang took Cao Shujie into the store. He pointed to a very novel electric tricycle with a driver in front and a row of seats for two people in the back.
Cao Shujie's team had no requirement whether it could pull things. He saw that the frame of this electric tricycle was indeed very strong, and the shock absorption at the rear looked very good.
Liu Qiang also introduced to him: "This electric bike is made in one piece. The fastest speed is 45. It has three gears: high, middle and low. If it is an elderly person, it can be driven in low gear. It is difficult to control at high speeds."
"
This point was so pertinent that Cao Shujie also felt it in his heart.
"Just this one, how much does it cost?" Cao Shujie had already taken out his wallet and was about to swipe his card.
Liu Qiang said to him: "Director Cao, the normal purchase price of this car is 6,300 yuan. I normally sell it in the store for 7,000 yuan. Just give me 6,500 yuan."
Cao Shujie said without saying a word: "Swipe your card."
After finishing the work, Liu Qiang checked the tricycle for him again to make sure there was no problem and installed the battery. He also said: "Our battery has a two-year warranty. If there is any problem within one year, it will be replaced directly."
He also wrote a business card and stuck it on the battery: "Director Cao, here is my store, name, phone number and the time to install the battery. If you have any questions, just come to me directly."
"Thank you, Boss Liu. If I buy an electric car another day, I will come to you again," Cao Shujie said.
"Welcome again, Director Cao."
Liu Qiang sent Cao Shujie outside the store and saw him riding an electric tricycle heading west. He couldn't help but sigh that Cao Shujie was a typical example of one person driving the development of a village.
To be honest, he was also envious, but there was no such person in their village.
Cao Shujie rode an electric bike and set the speed to high. According to Liu Qiang, the speed of 45 kilometers per hour was quite fast.
However, Cao Shujie felt that this speed was a bit too high, and was different from the 45 mph he drove at.
But that's not the point.
We arrived at Caojiazhuang in 20 minutes, and Cao Shujie rode towards his house.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he shouted loudly: "Grandpa, come out and take a look at the new electric tricycle I bought for you."
Cao Zhenghu was listening to the radio in the house at the moment. He really didn't expect that his grandson would buy it back so quickly.
Turning off the radio, Cao Zhenghu came out of the house and saw the brand new electric tricycle parked in the yard. He liked it from the bottom of his heart.
"Isn't this car cheap?" Cao Zhenghu asked.
Cao Shujie chuckled and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, please try it first. This bike is quite comfortable to ride."
"By the way, there is a switch here to adjust the three gears, high, middle and low. You can usually ride in low gear. The high gear is a bit faster." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Zhenghu nodded repeatedly: "Shujie, get out of the way. I'll go up and try."
