Shen Dapeng couldn't help but chuckle after being reminded by Liu Fengxia.
"It is inevitable that the people of Qingshu County need a good traffic order. However, it seems that it will take a long time to achieve such a virtuous cycle order."
"Now you see, there are many human-powered tricycles and motorized tricycles on the street. Their existence has affected the income of our taxi company to a certain extent. This is an indisputable fact."
Shen Dapeng frowned when he said this.
Liu Fengxia was speechless for a moment, nodded silently and began to think deeply.
Shen Dapeng is right. Although Qingshu County has developed very well in the past two years, after all, judging from the provincial rankings, it is a low-ranking county.
For a long time, the county's hundreds of thousands of people have lived on a mountain of bread and butter. The average economic level is lagging behind, and the per capita income is not high. This has led to a large number of people moving to the county town in order to make a living and support their families.
Our ancestors have been farmers for generations and have made a living by farming. We know nothing but farming. If we want to settle down in the county and make a living, we have to work hard.
Riding a three-wheeler to solicit customers does not require a lot of start-up capital. You can buy a human-powered tricycle with a few hundred yuan and sit on the ground to wait for customers. If you have a little more money and want to save effort, you can buy a motorized tricycle and run it in the streets and alleys of the county.
That's called a joy.
Most importantly, for the same distance, the cost of carrying passengers on a tricycle is much lower than that of a taxi. The per capita income in Qingshui County is not high, so many people choose tricycles as a means of transportation in order to save money.
"Dapeng, the phenomenon of carrying passengers on tricycles has become very common in our county. If we want to ban it all at once, I'm afraid it won't work, right?"
All Liu Fengxia can think about now is whether she can pass any policy to ban these tricycles from carrying passengers, so as to maximize the profits of her taxi company.
Shen Dapeng smiled slightly and said, "I have thought about this problem, but at present, it really doesn't work."
"Compared with taxis, safety is always an issue with tricycles. You have heard a lot about accidents involving tricycles carrying passengers in our county, right?" Shen Dapeng thought of the incident after the Chinese New Year when Su Su's father, Su Huaren, was hit by a motorized tricycle.
Liu Fengxia nodded, "Everyone knows that the safety performance of tricycles is not as good as taxis, so it would be best if they can be banned."
Shen Dapeng shook his head, "Auntie, this problem is not as simple as you think. The phenomenon of tricycles carrying passengers is deeply rooted. If you want to ban it all at once through policies or something, it will cause serious social problems."
Liu Fengxia frowned, somewhat confused as to what Shen Dapeng meant.
Shen Dapeng continued to explain, "The total number of tricycles in our county should be several hundred, right? These tricycle owners are all from the bottom of society, and their lives are not rich to begin with. They rely on this to earn some living expenses. What will be the consequences if it is banned?
So, you know it, right?"
Liu Fengxia suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but think of the previous unfinished building and cannery incidents, where people gathered in the square to cause trouble, and even caused trouble to the county government.
And these are precisely because they touch the interests of the people at the bottom, and they are forced to have no choice, so they embark on this path.
If the operation of tricycles is banned, hundreds of people will suddenly lose their source of livelihood and their lives will be difficult. It is strange that they do not make trouble.
And once the commotion breaks out, not only will the social impact be bad, but if the city or even the province knows about it, County Magistrate Tie will definitely be criticized.
As the head of a county, Tiezhengshuo certainly does not want this to happen, so he will never support the policy of banning tricycle operations.
"Then what should we do? Can we just let them run around like rats in the streets and alleys? Besides, if a few more big things happen, no one will be able to bear the responsibility!"
Liu Fengxia was also a little confused.
"Haha, this can only be done slowly. The prerequisite for banning the operation of tricycles is to provide these tricycle owners with other employment positions so that they can make a smooth transition and their lives will not be affected. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause a certain amount of chaos."
"However, we cannot just continue to let them carry passengers without any regulations." Shen Dapeng pondered for a moment and continued to think, "You can suggest that the transportation department check the operating procedures of these tricycles. Those with license plates and driver's licenses can continue to operate legally.
, without these procedures, we cannot let them go on the road."
Liu Fengxia's eyes lit up, "Yes, this is a good idea. In this way, not only can some tricycle operations be reduced, taxis can earn relatively more, but at the same time, they can also pass the inspection of tricycle procedures and vehicle age.
Trial and greatly reduce some traffic accidents!”
Shen Dapeng nodded, "If you have time, you can go to County Magistrate Tie to make suggestions."
"Okay, this is a good thing. I will definitely suggest something that is beneficial to our taxi company." Liu Fengxia responded firmly.
Shen Dapeng looked at the time and saw that it was already past lunch time. He had not eaten in the morning and his stomach was already growling with hunger, so he stood up and greeted Liu Fengxia.
"Okay, let's just talk. I'm already hungry. How about we go out to eat?"
Liu Fengxia shook her head and said, "Dapeng, you go out to eat. I have to see if these drivers have been settled. When they are all settled, I will emphasize their treatment and other rules and regulations again."
Shen Dapeng smiled helplessly. His aunt had this kind of character. She would not give up until the matter at hand was finished.
"Okay, let's talk to them. We are a company, not a vegetable market. Without the constraints of the system, it is difficult to achieve success!"
After Shen Dapeng finished explaining, he walked out of the taxi company's gate alone and was going to find a nearby restaurant to have something to eat.
As soon as I walked to the door of a restaurant not far away, my cell phone rang in my pocket.
Shen Dapeng took it out and saw that it was Tang Wei's phone number.
It felt like I hadn't contacted Tang Wei for a long time. This guy hadn't contacted me for many days since he went to the capital. I didn't know what the situation was like at the school, so he hurriedly answered the phone.
"Tang Wei, I was still thinking of calling you to ask, but your call came." Shen Dapeng heard Tang Wei say before that SARS was more serious in the capital, and he urged himself to return to the capital as soon as possible.
"Brother Peng, what's going on with you? Are you coming to the capital yet? If you don't come, I'm afraid you won't even be able to come." On the other side of the phone, Tang Wei's loud voice sounded in Shen Dapeng's ears like it was exploding.
Shen Dapeng suddenly frowned and held the phone slightly away from his ear, "You kid, you want to deafen me?"
Indeed, Shen Dapeng rushed back to the capital after thinking that the conflict between Pengcheng Taxi Company and Jinhui Company would be resolved, but he did not expect that the Lu brothers were so bold that they dared to smash up Pengcheng Auto Repair Shop.
