"It's okay, don't get excited. I've already said it. We are on the same team and we share weal and woe."
Lu Shibo stood on a stone step at the door. He was finally a head taller than everyone else. He looked around at the dozens of taxi drivers and pretended to be embarrassed and sighed heavily, "Oh, actually I hope everyone can make more money. You have made money."
If you are motivated to work, the company will be easier to manage, right?
From my personal point of view, let alone if you raise the price to ten yuan, even if it is raised to twenty yuan, as long as consumers agree, I will have no problem with it. But now someone has reported your price increase to the Consumers Association and the county.
The local authorities are seeing things getting bigger and bigger. I don’t want anything to happen to you, so I can only try my best to make it as minor as possible.”
"You mean...you have no choice but to pay the fine? That's nice to say." Xiao Hou curled his lips disdainfully and simply sneered at Lu Shibo's remarks.
There is only one taxi company in the county, Jinhui, so the company has always been very harsh on drivers like them. Not only does the fees they pay increase year by year, but they also disallow this and refuse to allow that. They control more than they do. Now there are dozens of taxis.
The fine was tens of thousands of yuan. According to the company's business philosophy of "flies are also meat", Lu Shibo would never give up the money easily.
"Do you think I'm just panicking? I'm just looking for trouble to fine you? Then everyone has wronged me. Our Qingshu County is not very big. Everyone has several relatives and friends. If you don't want to believe me, then you can do it yourself."
Go ask your acquaintances and find out whether you have been reported or whether I made it up out of thin air."
"It really has nothing to do with you?" Xiao Houcai didn't believe it. When it came to money, he would never misjudge Lu Shibo, a money addict.
"I promise it's okay." Lu Shibo, as the general manager of Jinhui Company, is usually very harsh on these drivers, but after all, he is in charge of a taxi company, so he will not spend a lot of money on a fine of tens of thousands of yuan.
What's more, it's the Chinese New Year. He was enjoying the hot bed with his wife and children at home, but he was called by his elder brother Lu Shiyong to deal with the matter. Now he also wants to solve the matter quickly so that he can go home and have a peaceful New Year.
Among the group of people, Xiao Hou was the only one who stood out, but Lu Shibo told him the facts and reasoned him out. He had nothing to say without any tricks. He could only act like a rogue and yelled, "I don't care, I won't pay the fine anyway."
"
"Okay, if you don't want to hand over, then step aside." Lu Shibo tapped his fingers, and two burly security guards behind him strode forward, pushing and squeezing Xiao Hou out of the crowd.
"Hey, Lu Shibo, why did you ask me to step aside? This is your home? It's my own business whether I pay the fine or not. You still dare to be rough with me? What do you want to do? It's a bit stinky.
Doesn’t money bully people?”
Xiao Hou kept shouting, but it could not change the fact that he was dragged away by the burly man. At this time, everyone who was also a taxi driver should have worked together, but when they faced Lu Shibo and a group of security guards, they all lost their minds when they first arrived.
His courage was so great that no one said a word as he watched Xiao Hou being taken away.
"Mr. Lu, Xiaohou is young and energetic. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Xie Guangshen, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak. He knew very well that Lu Shibo dared to drag Xiao Hou away in public, which meant that he could take other people away with him, "Mr. Lu, we are just drivers. We do make a lot of money in a month."
It’s not much money, and I also saw a fine of one thousand to ten thousand yuan written in the contract..."
"It's good if you see it! No matter if you go on strike or stop operations or gather to cause trouble, you must pay the fine. Someone is watching this matter. I personally have no right to decide and I can't solve anything."
"Mr. Lu, we are not here to cause trouble. We still have to support our families, and we will not go on strike or shut down the trains. We just want to discuss it with you. It would be convenient for you to give everyone less penalty points? There are more and more tricycles now.
, if we sign a contract again, the company will have to increase costs, and I heard that the county and the company are already planning to add another hundred new cars, I’m afraid we guys really won’t be able to hold on by then.”
"Lao Xie, you have worked in the company for so many years, don't you still understand who I am? I will not cheat or harm others. One is one, two is two. Whatever the contract is, it must be fulfilled, and what are the county's requirements?
Just do what the company does. If someone reports you, I can’t fine you?"
Lu Shibo also imitated Xie Guangshen's troubled and helpless expression, "You said there are many tricycles, but that's not something I can do. The county wants to add 100 new vehicles. That's the decision of the county magistrate and senior officials, and I have no control over it."
I’m not qualified to intervene, so...it’s useless for you to make things difficult for me.”
"Mr. Lu, considering how hard everyone works to make money, can you pay 500? If you agree, I can discuss with you and get the money together in a week."
This time Xie Guangshen admitted defeat, and he kept staring at everyone's expressions. When Lu Shibo brought the Consumers Association and the county government out, everyone had already begun to retreat.
Especially when they saw Xiao Hou being forcibly dragged out a hundred meters away, everyone suddenly remembered that the Lu family brothers had also raised a group of horses to serve as security guards. At this time, most people began to give up their arguments and gave up, one thousand yuan.
Everyone would feel bad about being fined money, but it is much better than offending the company and a group of gangsters that you still rely on.
"Lao Xie, please don't embarrass me. Three dollars and five hundred dollars is not a lot of money. Do you still need it for a week?"
Lu Shibo gave Xie Guangshen one last smile, then looked at the others with a stern expression, "Let me see how many people are on strike and shut down today..."
"Mr. Lu, the brothers just counted sixty-six vehicles." A security guard next to him reminded.
"Sixty-six cars, the number is quite auspicious, six and six are going well! Everyone, listen, you guys are raising the price privately. According to the contract, each person will be fined one thousand, and you have to pay it all to the company within two days, or you can choose
It will be deducted from your mortgage deposit, and now... those who are willing to pay the fine can enter the courtyard, and those who do not want to pay can leave."
After Lu Shibo finished speaking, he turned back to the company without even looking back at the drivers. He was not afraid that the drivers would not pay the fines. Anyway, he had a signed contract and the deposit was in hand. If it didn't work, he would forcibly withhold the deposit.
Lu Shibo and a group of security guards left, leaving sixty or seventy people standing there stunned. People with good personal relationships gathered together to discuss whether they should pay the fine according to the contract. It could be seen from the irritability of everyone that they still didn't want to
I had to pay the fine, but I was afraid of offending the company and Lu Shibo.
"Lao Xie, will you pay this fine...?" Lao Li breathed into his palms, rubbed them to keep them warm, and tentatively asked Xie Guangshen.
"Isn't what Lu Shibo said obvious enough? It makes no difference whether we pay it or not. Our deposit is in his hands. If he is happy, he will deduct a thousand from us. If he is not happy, he can fine us ten thousand. Who said it was written in the contract? If he had known
If I don’t get a few yuan increase, I might as well go home and have a good time during the Chinese New Year.”
