It can be seen from his clothes that Xie Guangshen does not come from a well-off family, and may even live a life without any wealth.
The normal income of a taxi driver is a little more than that of a normal part-time worker, but it is only just over a thousand yuan. After a year of hard work, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he still can't save more than 20,000 yuan.
And Xie Guangshen picked up 300,000 in cash, which meant that he was almost unable to earn a huge amount of money in twenty years. In the period when the public security system's "eyes in the sky" had not yet been deployed, there were very few private stores installing monitoring systems.
There are only a few systems on the street that can retrieve images, such as traffic light violation records and photos.
If Xie Guangshen intends to keep the money for himself and does not want to give it back, he can just leave the scene immediately. Whether it is the taxi company or the traffic control department, the chance of finding him is almost zero.
Even if it is unfortunate that Xie Guangshen is found by the relevant departments, unless the person who lost the money remembers his license plate and takes a photo as evidence, he will only need to beat him to death without admitting it. Who will take him?
Nothing can be done.
Xie Guangshen had the opportunity to exchange his integrity and conscience for the opportunity to get rich overnight, but he did not. He would rather live an ordinary life of cutting back on clothes and dieting, rather than abandoning the most basic moral conscience as a human being.
His indifferent behavior of treating money like dirt has allowed him to transcend himself.
"Uncle Xie, if the person who lost the money left by train, would you keep waiting like that? If he didn't find out, and he was gone for days or weeks, would you have other ideas?"
Shen Dapeng waited for Xie Guangshen's answer with some anticipation, while Xie Guangkun drove the car carelessly, as if the past events were a passing smoke and no longer worth pondering.
"Other ideas? To embezzle? To take it for myself? I can't do bad things in this life. Those bad things that are unscrupulous and deceitful should be left to those bastards who are not afraid of retribution."
"Haha! These words are too domineering. Let the bad things be done by those bastards who are not afraid of retribution! But unfortunately, there are more and more people who are not afraid of retribution in this society. Many times, it is difficult to be a good person."
Shen Dapeng worked hard in the capital from Qingshu County in his previous life. Due to the helplessness of life, he could only start from the bottom of the job, working early and working late, working more and earning less. He can agree with these, but among colleagues, leaders and subordinates, there is a conflict between them.
Between companies, there are hidden agendas and conflicts, and there is no trust at all.
Sometimes a well-intentioned reminder will arouse others' disgust and suspicion, but a few sweet words that are overt and covert can make people full of praise.
Some people have good intentions and do bad things, but at least they still have a sincere heart with an intact conscience. They are more worthy of praise than selfish people who no longer take human heart as the basis for measuring good and evil, but rely entirely on personal likes and dislikes.
However, after more than ten years of living alone in the capital, Shen Dapeng did not see the beautiful picture of everyone being for oneself and one being for everyone. What was left was more of concealment, deception, and intrigue.
"Young man, I see that you are not old, but you are somewhat conscious when you speak. You are worthy of being the number one scholar. You have a bright mind and can live an easier life than others. The same cannot be said for my son. He studied automobiles in an ordinary college.
Xiu, I still can’t do without him from now on. I’m in this crappy driving business, it’s worthless!!”
The return of the huge sum of 300,000 yuan in cash to its original owner did not make Xie Guangshen sigh and feel regretful. However, when he mentioned his son's future, his tone suddenly became sad and long, and his eyes lost their luster, as if he was terminally ill and powerless.
The patients who recover generally have no hope.
"Auto repair is also a good choice. Although it is a bit harder, it is enough skills to earn a living. Now that cars are becoming more and more popular, those who drive must have car repairs. If you can, open your own car repair shop.
I make more money in a year than a civil servant, and the most important thing is that I can inherit my father's legacy."
Cars will not only become more popular in the next few years, but after five or six years, joint venture cars will gradually find ways to reduce production and manufacturing costs by reducing performance. The price of family cars has been cut in half. The sales volume of cars within a few years can be described as a blowout.
explosive growth.
In the past few years, there were only two or three auto repair shops in Qingshu County, and they mainly made a living by repairing trucks, buses, and taxis.
When the private car boom broke out a few years later, almost all the shops in the county were turned into auto repair shops, car washes, and car accessories stores.
The auto repair industry in Qingshu County, a small county town, is so prosperous, as can be imagined in larger first- and second-tier cities. As for the capital city where Shen Dapeng stayed, the traffic jam basically lasted an hour without moving, and there were more cars than people on the road.
"Succumb to father's business? Forget it, our taxi industry is almost out of business. Our taxi operating licenses are basically affiliated with taxi companies. Most of the money we make in a year goes to the company.
, what is left in your hands is not much better than working part-time.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, all year round, the summer is so hot that you don’t dare to turn on the air conditioner to save fuel. It’s like taking a sauna all day long. In the winter, you don’t dare to drive fast on icy and snowy roads. The car wastes oil and snow tires, and you work more than ten hours a day.
I suffer from frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, lumbar protrusion, and pain in the bones all over my body. They are all occupational diseases.”
Xie Guangshen finally found a topic he could vent about. He talked about the hardships of his career and patted the lumbar cushion on the back of the seat. "Without him, my old waist would have been useless long ago."
Here you go."
Shen Dapeng had read some articles in the Internet news era in his previous life about the hardships of taxi drivers. He worked in sales and needed to travel around the old city of Beijing to the Sixth Ring Road. In the years before the Beijing subway was fully opened,
The most common means of transportation are buses and taxis, and I have witnessed firsthand the pain and difficulties of drivers.
It's just that he hasn't really understood the income of taxi drivers. In the past, he occasionally talked about the income of taxi drivers. In the capital city, the income is quite generous compared with the income of ordinary wage earners, but today he heard Xie Guangshen's complaint.
, but I feel that the driver is really hard-working and should be rewarded more for his hard work.
"It's not easy in all walks of life. You are so familiar with the taxi industry, why do you want to change to another job? It's like a different job. Wouldn't it be more difficult to start over?"
"Everyone knows the truth, but there is only one taxi company in the county, which holds almost all taxi operating licenses in the county. What is the starting price of a taxi and how much money must be paid to the company every year? It is all decided by the taxi company.
The people in charge have the final say. If they move their upper and lower lips, we have to pay the money obediently, otherwise... hum."
Xie Guangshen snorted disdainfully and didn't finish what he said, but he knew what it meant even if he didn't say it. The reason is very simple. If you don't pay the rent, then don't do it... Reading at Ling O'clock
