The job was received in the afternoon of the previous day, March 18. I was unloading goods at a factory in Zhongjiang Development Zone when I suddenly received a call from a local in Zhongjiang.
"Are you a truck driver?" A man's voice came from the receiver.
"Yes, boss, do you have any goods to deliver?"
"What's the height of your carriage?" the man asked.
"It is 1.2 meters from the ground to the bottom of the carriage and 4 meters from the top of the carriage."
"What about the width of the carriage?"
"The width of my carriage is 2.3 meters, and the effective length is 9.5 meters."
"How can it fit an off-road vehicle?" the man asked.
"Yes, it can fit not only one car, but two cars as well."
"Okay then, how much does it cost to transport an off-road vehicle to Gui'an City?"
"It's 500 kilometers to Gui'an. If it only fits your car, the price will be a little higher. If I send some more goods there, the price will be cheaper."
"No, I'll give you the car."
"Well, if you charter a car, it will cost you 8,000 yuan anyway."
"Okay, 8,000 is 8,000. You go to Taiping Village at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and wait for me. I will call you then."
"Hey boss, are you telling the truth? Don't ask me to make a trip without using the car again."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem. As long as you cooperate well, I can give you an extra 2,000 yuan."
That's what we agreed on at that time. I originally wanted a deposit, but I didn't have the nerve to ask. Thinking that Tianping Village is not far away, even if he doesn't call me, I won't lose much. At most, the trip will be in vain.
.
Early the next morning, Xiaojuan and I rushed to the vicinity of Taiping Village and stopped on Taiping Road to wait for the call from the person. Sure enough, just after 6 o'clock, the person called.
"Where is your car now?" the man asked.
After I told him my location, the man said:
"That's just right. You keep driving forward. After passing the intersection of Gongye Road, across the road is the demolition area of Taiping Village. In the middle of Gongye Road and Jianjian Road, there is a fenced gap that you can drive into. After you enter, keep driving
Drive forward, about 800 meters away, and you will see a Prado off-road vehicle parked in the middle of the road.
There is a loading ramp on the right side of the Prado. You first drive the Prado to the top of the ramp, then back your truck into the ramp and load the Prado into it. Do you understand?"
I understood what I heard at the time, but what I didn’t understand was why I was asked to drive the Prado. Couldn’t the driver of that car drive it himself? So I asked about my concerns.
"There is no driver on the Prado, the keys are just in the car. You are the only one, just load up the car and drive it to Gui'an."
"But boss, you haven't paid me the freight yet."
"There are 10,000 yuan on the driver's seat, all for you. The extra 2,000 yuan is confidentiality fee. After this matter is completed, please keep it secret and not mention it to anyone."
When I heard that he really gave me an extra 2,000 yuan, I was extremely happy. Originally, I had asked for 8,000 yuan more, so I planned to pay him back and I could get away with 6,000 yuan. Now I have an extra 2,000 yuan.
What comment could I have? So I quickly drove the car and followed the path he pointed to and found the Prado.
There was really 10,000 yuan placed on the driver's seat of the Prado. After I collected the money, I quickly started loading the car. The loading process went very smoothly. It took more than half an hour to install and secure the car. It was installed.
After picking up the truck, I called the boss because he only told me that I was going to Gui'an City, but he didn't give me the specific unloading address and contact person.
I remember that the call didn't go through at that time, so we waited in the car for a while, and sure enough, the boss called again.
"Boss, the car is packed. I'm leaving now. I'll arrive in Gui'an around dark. Please send me the specific delivery address and contact person."
"Okay, I'll send it to your phone later."
After talking to the boss on the phone, Xiaojuan and I drove on the road. Nothing happened along the way, except that we received a text message from the boss halfway, telling me to get off the expressway in Gui'an and wait at the intersection.
After a while, he will send me a message after he has contacted the other party.
We got off the expressway from Gui'an City at five o'clock in the afternoon. After getting off the expressway, I found a place to park the car and waited for news from the other party. But we waited until 10 o'clock in the evening to wait for the news. In the meantime, I gave the person
The boss called several times but never got through.
The message sent has only one address: Hongda Auto Repair Factory, Third Ring Road, Development Zone, Gui'an City. There is no contact person or contact number.
After receiving the message, I opened the navigation and looked for the Hongda Auto Repair Shop on the Third Ring Road. Fortunately, there was a mark on the map for the Hongda Auto Repair Shop. So I followed the navigation and found the Hongda Auto Repair Shop.
When we arrived at the Hongda Auto Repair Shop, it was already past 11 o'clock at night. There were no street lights, no passing vehicles, and no pedestrians on that road. The door of the Hongda Auto Repair Shop was also closed, and there was no light inside the factory.
There was no one at all. As soon as I parked my car near Hongda Auto Repair Shop, the boss called me.
"Did you see a concrete platform on the left side of the garage door?"
I got out of the car and walked to the door of the auto repair shop using the light from my car. Sure enough, there was a cement platform with a long slope on one side of the door. This cement platform should also be a platform for unloading cars.
"I saw it." I said to the boss.
"You can just use this platform to unload the car, park the car under the platform, insert the key on top, and then you can leave."
After the boss finished speaking, he hung up the phone. I had no other choice but to do as he said. Because it was too dark, I asked Xiaojuan to use a strong flashlight to light up my car.
I leaned against the concrete platform, opened the door and drove out of the Prado. After that, I followed his instructions, left the car keys in the car, and drove away in our car.
Xiaojuan and I were quite puzzled by this incident at the time. We made quite a lot of money on this trip, but we still felt bad. Neither the owner nor the consignee wanted to talk about it, and even the boss couldn't get through on the phone.
He can only call us. When I call him, I always tell you that the number you dialed does not exist.
At that time, we suspected that this car was definitely not a good car. It was either stolen, or someone who owed money did not dare to drive the car out, so they asked us to secretly transport it to him. After finishing this matter, I was still worried.
I'm a little pounding. I'm worried that something will really involve me. No, I guessed it right. You came to my door.
It seems that when you encounter money that is particularly easy to earn in the future, you need to be more cautious. You cannot do everything, and you cannot buy everything.
