Chapter 0902 cure the symptoms but not the root cause
"Dad, I just heard my uncle say that the county wants to add 100 taxis? Our Qingshu County doesn't have that big a population. There are already more than 100 taxis. If we continue to add 100 more, it will create vicious competition, right?
?”
"The vicious competition should not be enough. Magistrate Tie's idea is to first ban some old taxis that do not meet safety inspections, and then increase the number of taxis, one after another. It is estimated that there will only be about 200 taxis in the end. He will not impose any restrictions on taxis.
It has a huge impact on the automobile industry!”
Shen Haitao returned to the living room, poured himself a cup of tea, and explained to Shen Dapeng nonchalantly, "Of course this is what I have heard. Is there any definite news, but it is also embarrassing for County Magistrate Tie. The general environment is that workers are laid off and unemployed.
, they all went to ride three-wheelers. This might save some manpower, electric tricycles..."
"Increasing taxis can reduce the number of tricycles. What a weird algorithm! Laid-off workers have no choice but to ride three-wheelers and earn dozens of dollars a day to support their families. If the county increases the number of taxis,
, which is tantamount to squeezing the income of laid-off and unemployed people.”
Shen Dapeng's eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't know if this idea was the original intention of County Magistrate Tie. If it was really the solution proposed by Tie Zhengshuo, he completely disagreed with it. Life was already not easy. Adding more taxis
Once the policies are implemented, their lives will only become more and more difficult.
"As I said just now, there is no other way. There are too many tricycles now and they don't abide by traffic regulations. If they are banned directly, they are afraid of cutting off their source of livelihood. I guess Magistrate Tie also wants to increase the number of taxis. Maybe
Some people who ride tricycles will choose to drive taxis, which would make the job easier and earn more money."
Shen Haitao's expression was serious, but far from worrying. He was the deputy county magistrate, yes, but he was only the deputy magistrate in charge of public security. What's more, he was also the county public security director, not the transportation bureau.
The director, whether it is a tricycle or a taxi, it is not his turn to overstep his authority.
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause! No, it can neither treat the symptoms nor the root cause!"
Shen Dapeng sneered unconvinced and helplessly, "To drive a taxi, you need a driver's license and a job license. You spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a car yourself, and you have to pay the taxi company for the license. All in all, it is completely equivalent to working. No
Those with a driver's license can't drive, and those without money can't afford to drive. Even if there are 10,000 more taxis, they won't have half a cent to do with ordinary laid-off workers."
"Who told you this? Your uncle?"
Shen Haitao glanced at Shen Dapeng blankly. He had also thought about the issues that Shen Dapeng was worried about, but he had not thought about the issues of driver's license and mortgage deposit. Indeed, not all families can obtain a mortgage of over ten thousand yuan and a taxi worth tens of thousands.
Even if you can get it, it will take a few months to get a driver's license at the earliest. If you calculate carefully, you will probably work in vain for a year without making any money.
"Who needs to say this? You can understand it just by thinking about it. I really don't understand what they are going to do. Can increasing the number of taxis be regarded as performance?"
"Dapeng, you can just say this at home, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside, do you hear me?"
Shen Haitao shouted sternly, his expression even more serious than when Liu Hongbin left angrily. Why did Tie Zhengshuo increase the number of taxis? There must be deeper problems in this, but it is not something that can be discussed casually, at least it cannot be brought to the table.
Talk clearly.
"Originally, it has nothing to do with me. I just feel that those three-wheelers are so pitiful. After 100 brand-new taxis are approved and put on the road, I'm afraid their lives will be even more miserable!"
Shen Dapeng curled his lips. This matter indeed had nothing to do with him, and it was not his turn to worry or worry. He simply talked about the tangled opinions in his heart. As for the county's decision, his opinion was insignificant and accurate.
Generally speaking, his opinions will not have the slightest influence on Tie Zhengshuo's decision-making.
"You two just chat, you can't be calm? Why are you quarreling again?"
Liu Fengyun cleaned up the kitchen and dining room, took off her apron and held it in her hand. Even though she felt sorry for her son, she still gestured and hit her a few times in the air. No matter how good the son is, the elders and younger ones in the family still have to follow the rules and be a son.
Yes, how can you argue with me for no reason?
"We didn't quarrel, we just chatted. Since you both won't let me talk, I'll go back to the room and shut up and go to sleep. I just drank some wine and have a headache. Good night!"
"If you have a headache, go back and rest early. Remember to spread out a soft mattress and cover yourself with a quilt."
After his mother's careful instructions, Shen Dapeng slipped back to his room. He could hear his parents arguing outside the door. It was probably because of his father's criticism of his tone just now. He didn't pay much attention to it and made the bed by himself.
I took off my sweater and cotton pants and got into bed, lying on the bed tossing and turning in boredom, unable to fall asleep.
The lights in the room had been turned off, leaving only the lamp on the desk next to the bed illuminating the bedside. Shen Dapeng lay there for a while and still felt bored, so he got up and looked for a book to hypnotize him. When he looked at the whole room, he saw someone who looked like Jason.
That said, there is not even a book left.
Shen Dapeng seemed to remember that when he was selling books, he left behind a few of his favorite prose and poetry collections, but they were nowhere to be found. He had no choice but to continue lying on the bed, staring at the white roof with wide eyes. When he was bored,
I accidentally remembered the taxi issue I had just discussed.
What he said to his father just now seemed a bit angry. In fact, Magistrate Tie's thoughts must be positive. He hopes to improve transportation and people's employment problems by increasing the number of taxis. However, the process required is too long.
For people who already rely on riding three-wheelers to earn dozens of dollars to support their families, who can still take half a year to get a driver's license and take out a deposit of nearly 10,000 yuan to drive a taxi?
When I thought of the hard work of pedaling three wheels, Su Su's father, Su Huaren, suddenly appeared in my mind! That weathered face was firmly blocked by a scarf for fear of being recognized by his daughter.
Su Huaren was the owner of a mutton soup restaurant and a small businessman. After the mutton soup restaurant was forced to close down due to the land occupied, he could not find a stable job and could only ride a three-wheeler despite the cold winter and wind and rain.
.
What good jobs can those laid-off workers who have never done business and have no skills needed by society find? Even if they buy a tricycle for a few hundred yuan and sell their strength, it only costs dozens of yuan a day. It’s okay to support their families. Think about it.
Living a secure and stable life is simply a pipe dream.
And now the county's policy is about to change again. For the sake of the appearance of the county, for transportation convenience, and because the decision-makers think it can change people's lives, they actually plan to add 100 taxis. I'm afraid that not only will this fail to change the status quo, but it will also make Dian San
The hard-working man's life becomes even more difficult, which also puts taxi drivers in a dilemma.
