Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 466 This is a cancer in the city!

Qinghe City TV station.

The director walked out of his office, pointed to a reporter casually, and said: "There was a traffic accident at the intersection of Hongxing Road and Xinhua Road. Go and take a look."

The person named by the director nodded, hurriedly put on the camera, and prepared to go out into the field.

The named reporter's surname was Ma, and his name was Ma Chiyu. He was the reporter who went to report on the unfair housing allocation when the transportation company allocated housing, but ended up getting a bad reception.

Two years ago, Ma Chiyu was transferred to a TV station and changed from a newspaper reporter carrying a camera to a TV reporter carrying a camera.

I saw Ma Chiyu carrying a heavy camera to the scene of the incident, and happened to see the doctor carrying someone into the ambulance.

A three-wheel drive truck fell next to a telephone pole. The front of the car was crooked. Three traffic policemen were at the scene to deal with the accident.

Ma Chiyu immediately stepped forward and asked about the situation. When the traffic police comrade saw the reporter interviewing him, he did not hide anything. He briefly talked about what happened and then reminded the audience to pay attention to the passing vehicles when crossing the road.

This was either a very complicated traffic accident, or a pedestrian was trying to cross the road, and then encountered a scurrying three-wheeler. After hitting the pedestrian, the three-wheeler lost control, and then crashed into a nearby telephone pole.

In the end, both the pedestrian and the driver of the Sanbengzi were injured and sent to ambulances. The passengers on the Sanbengzi suffered some scratches and were not seriously injured.

Ma Chiyu immediately took the camera and went to interview the passenger. After getting enough material, he returned to the TV station to submit a report.

After a day's work, Ma Chiyu returned home and saw a yellow bread parked at the door of the family's courtyard. Ma Chiyu recognized the yellow bread as his brother-in-law's car.

Ma Chiyu's brother-in-law, whose surname is Han, did not find a job after graduating from junior high school, so he followed a relative and learned to weld security doors and windows.

In those days, security was not as good as it is now, and there were more burglaries. Making anti-theft doors and windows was a good business, so my brother-in-law also made some money from it.

Electric welding is very hard on the eyes. After my brother-in-law worked on anti-theft doors and windows for a few years, he stopped doing it. He bought a Dafa van and started renting it out.

When Ma Chiyu returned home, he saw his brother-in-law sitting in the living room of his home.

Seeing Ma Chiyu, his brother-in-law immediately stood up and said hello: "Brother-in-law, you are back!"

"Xiao Han is here!" Ma Chiyu greeted him: "You didn't even say hello before you came, so I could buy some meat."

"Don't bother, I'll eat whatever my sister cooks!" the brother-in-law said casually.

Ma Chiyu's wife simply cooked two dishes, while Ma Chiyu opened a bottle of wine, and the two started drinking.

"Brother-in-law, I'm just going to drink this cup today. I have to drive back later." The brother-in-law said and took a slight sip.

"Okay, then I'll do it, you can do whatever you want." Ma Chiyu said and drank it all in one gulp.

In the 1990s, the penalties for drunk driving were not as strict as they are now. At that time, drunk driving was common. Many truck drivers even drank a bottle of beer to relieve their fatigue when they felt tired.

It was also because the inspection of drunk driving was not strict, so many traffic accidents at that time were caused by drunk driving. Several celebrities also lost their lives because of drunk driving.

The two were drinking and chatting.

Ma Chiyu is a reporter, and he will see a lot of new things during the whole day of interviews. His brother-in-law drives a taxi. He walks around the streets and contacts many people on weekdays, and he also encounters some new things. When the two of them sit together, they will always

There are endless topics to talk about.

Finally, my brother-in-law talked about those three-bouncers that used to transport people.

"Brother-in-law, you don't know. It's getting harder and harder to drive a taxi now. I even want to sell the taxi and go back and weld the security door!" said the brother-in-law.

"What's wrong? I heard your sister say last time that you can make a lot of money driving a taxi, isn't it? She said you can earn seven to eight hundred yuan a month, and you can earn thousands of yuan during the peak season during the holidays, which is comparable to welding to prevent theft.

I've made a lot of money!" Ma Chiyu said.

"That was in the past. Now, if you work hard for a month, you can earn four to five hundred yuan. After deducting the management fee of the taxi, depreciation and gas money, it is almost the same as finding a classmate." The brother-in-law said.

said.

When you go to work, your working hours are fixed, but when you drive a taxi, you get up early and stay late, and you don't even have a fixed time for meals. If you can make as much money by driving a taxi as you can by going to work, then driving a taxi is definitely not cost-effective.

So Ma Chiyu asked: "What's going on? No one takes a taxi now?"

"It's not because the streets are full of three-wheeled motorcycles!" My brother-in-law sighed helplessly and continued, "Those tricycles are much cheaper than our taxis. Tricycles are inherently more fuel-efficient than cars, and they don't use them.

Pay management fee.

The cost of a tricycle is less than that of a taxi, and the charges are lower. For the same distance, we charge five yuan, but they will go for one or two yuan. All the guests are taking tricycles, and there is no one to take a taxi!"

Taxi management fees have never been cheap. In the mid-1990s, taxi management fees in poorer cities were about 80 to 100 yuan, while in developed big cities, taxi management fees have reached more than 200 yuan.

Before the reform of the taxi management system in 1998, it was relatively easy to apply for a taxi license, and taxi operating rights were not valuable at that time.

At that time, taxis were all self-owned vehicles with their own operating licenses. They were directly affiliated with a taxi company and paid a monthly management fee before they could operate.

After the reform of the taxi management system in 1998, restrictions were imposed on taxi business licenses. The price of taxi licenses has also increased. In some cities, they have even sold for millions of dollars. Some people have made a lot of money by collecting taxi business licenses.

fiscal.

You cannot avoid management fees when driving a taxi. In contrast, Sanbengzi does not need to pay management fees, and the cost is much lower than that of regular taxis.

Then it was time for the brother-in-law to complain. All kinds of shortcomings of Sanbengzi, such as illegal operation, running around, not obeying traffic rules, affecting traffic safety, etc., all came out of the brother-in-law's mouth.

In his brother-in-law's words, Santengzi was directly described as a heinous bastard, a cancer in society that should be eradicated like a scourge.

Of course the taxi driver didn't have any good impressions of the three-bouncers, and wished that all the three-bouncers would disappear.

As soon as his brother-in-law told him, Ma Chiyu also remembered the traffic accident he had interviewed during the day. When a car hit a pedestrian, Ma Chiyu instinctively stood beside the pedestrian.

"It seems that this three-wheeled motorcycle that carries passengers is really not a good thing. Should I do a special program?" Ma Chiyu thought to himself.

…

The next day, Ma Chiyu came to the director's office and reported to the director that he wanted to do a special report on Santengzi.

"Are you going to do a special report on the chaos of three-wheeled motorcycles carrying passengers?"

The director thought for a moment and said, "Recently, there have been many motorized tricycles carrying passengers in the urban area, which has also caused many problems. For example, the traffic accident I asked you to interview yesterday was caused by three-wheeled motorcycles.

As far as I know, in recent times, similar traffic accidents have occurred every day. Some tricycles hit people, some tricycles collided with cars, and some tricycles hit tricycles.

Then let’s do this special topic, and I’ll leave this work to you. You go interview some materials, and then edit a video to see the effect.”

After receiving the director's approval, Ma Chiyu immediately took the camera and went out to find material.

After his brother-in-law's talk, coupled with yesterday's traffic accident, Ma Chiyu already had a preconceived impression of Sanbengzi, so he planned to shoot as many negative materials as possible about Sanbengzi.

So Ma Chiyu went directly to the entrance of the People's Hospital. He knew that there were often three-bouncers soliciting customers here.

Soon, Ma Chiyu saw an old man with gray hair sitting on a three-wheeler.

"At such an old age, he still drives a tricycle. He must not have a motor vehicle driving certificate. I just happened to interview him and treated him as evidence of an unlicensed driver!"

Thinking of this, Ma Chiyu immediately walked over.

"Uncle, I am a reporter from the TV station, can I interview you?" Ma Chiyu asked.

Uncle Zhou has been an ordinary worker all his life and has never been interviewed by a reporter. Now that a reporter is here, Uncle Zhou feels a little flattered.

"Okay, if you want to know anything, just ask?" Uncle Zhou said enthusiastically.

"Uncle, what's your surname? How old are you?" Ma Chiyu asked.

"My surname is Zhou. I am sixty years old this year and have just retired!" Uncle Zhou replied.

"Uncle Zhou, you are retired and don't enjoy the happiness at home, so why do you come out to drive a three-wheeler?" Ma Chiyu asked.

"I bought this tricycle to take my grandson to and from school. After taking my grandson to and from school, I have nothing to do. I just pick up people and supplement the family income!" Uncle Zhou said cheerfully.

"Supplement the family income? That means running the business!" Ma Chiyu smiled coldly and then asked: "Uncle Zhou, do you have a driver's license to drive this tricycle?"

"Driver's license?" Uncle Zhou looked confused: "You need a driver's license to ride a three-wheeler?"

"That's driving without a license. Uncle, do you know that you can't drive a motor vehicle without a driver's license!" Ma Chiyu continued.

Uncle Zhou had already sensed that Ma Chiyu's question was unkind, so he replied: "This is not a car, I just use it to pick up my grandchildren. What kind of driver's license do you need? Go to the school gate and see if you can pick up your grandchildren on a three-wheeler like me."

There are so many of them, who has a driver’s license!”

Ma Chiyu stopped asking about the driver's license. He continued: "Uncle, you just said that you carry passengers to supplement your family income. Do you know that it is also illegal to carry passengers to make money without an operating license?"

When it reaches the level of illegality, no matter how stupid Uncle Zhou is, he can still feel Ma Chiyu's malice, so Uncle Zhou immediately defended himself: "I just picked up someone along the way. I am just kind-hearted and willing to help others!"

"So, you don't charge for carrying passengers?" Ma Chiyu asked immediately.

"I only charge one yuan, which is equivalent to gas money! Okay, you can ask what you should ask, I have to pick up my grandson." Uncle Zhou said, waved his hand and drove away.

Uncle Zhou obviously didn't want to continue talking to Ma Chiyu, so he quickly ran away.

Ma Chiyu smiled proudly, he had already collected the necessary materials.

At the next stop, Ma Chiyu came to the bus station, where there were also several three-wheelers waiting for passengers.

Ma Chiyu spotted a middle-aged man in his early forties and walked up to chat.

"Brother, I am a reporter from a TV station. Can I interview you for a few questions?" Ma Chiyu asked.

"What's the matter, just ask!" the other party said calmly.

"Brother, what's your surname?" Ma Chiyu asked the other person's name again.

"My surname is Li, my name is Li Zhihua!" the other party replied.

"Brother Li, how long have you been driving a tricycle?" Ma Chiyu asked again.

"More than two months!" Li Zhihua replied.

"You've been driving for two or three months, so you must have a driver's license!" Ma Chiyu asked again.

"Where is that thing? Even if I want to take the exam, they won't let me take the exam!" Li Zhihua immediately replied.

"Why not let you take the driver's license test?" Ma Chiyu asked.

Li Zhihua chuckled and showed a proud expression: "I am a disabled person, with a third-level physical disability!"

"What? Disabled people?" Ma Chiyu was shocked. He felt that he had caught a hot news topic.

Will a tricycle driven by a disabled person be safe? Do you dare to sit on it? Do you risk your life?

Disabled people can openly drive out in Sanbuzi to pick up passengers. This definitely shows the disadvantages of Sanbuzi!

Li Zhihua on the opposite side thought that Ma Chiyu didn't believe what he said, so he took out his disability certificate from his arms and said, "Don't believe it, I am really disabled, this is my disability certificate!"

Seeing the disability certificate, Ma Chiyu was secretly happy. He felt that Li Zhihua had given him a divine assist.

So Ma Chiyu asked: "Brother Li, you have a third-level disability, why do you still go out to drive a three-wheeler? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

"Although I have a third-level physical disability, I am not unable to move. I can still drive a three-wheeler. And I am a disabled person. No one wants a job, so I can only drive a three-wheeler!"

Li Zhihua continued: "I have a mother to support at home, and a child who is in junior high school. If I don't drive a three-wheeler to make money, won't my mother and child have to starve to death?

In the past, when there were no three rounds, life at home was difficult. We relied on relatives, friends, and neighbors for financial support, and also received some rice and noodles from time to time from the civil affairs department. The family could survive. We couldn't even eat a dumpling during the New Year.

rise.

Now that I have this tricycle, I can make money myself. Although I don’t make much, at least I can give my mother and children a meal every now and then and improve their lives!”

Ma Chiyu was slightly startled, wondering why Li Zhihua started to praise Sanbengzi. This was not the purpose of his interview.

So he immediately asked: "Brother Li, do you know that it is illegal to carry passengers to make money without an operating license?"

"I don't know! I don't understand this." Li Zhihua shook his head simply: "I know that running three rounds can feed my family and prevent my mother and children from starving and freezing! Okay, here are the guests.

, you can find someone else to interview you!"

Li Zhihua also sensed Ma Chiyu's malicious question and found an excuse to leave.

…

Ma Chiyu came to the clothing wholesale market west of the station again.

Soon, he set his sights on another middle-aged man.

"Brother, I am a reporter from the TV station. Can I interview you?"

"What's your last name? How long have you been driving a tricycle?" Ma Chiyu repeated his old trick.

"My name is Zhao Juxian. I am a worker at Hongqi Glass Factory. I have just started driving a three-wheeler." The other party replied.

"Brother Zhao, since you are a worker, why don't you work in the factory and drive a three-wheeler?" Ma Chiyu asked.

"You're laid off! You don't know, our laid-off workers' lives are miserable!" Zhao Juxian thought Ma Chiyu was a reporter, so he began to talk to Ma Chiyu about the difficulties of laid-off workers.

The basic living expenses are low, I can't find a job, I'm old and have no other skills, I have seniors and juniors, and I pour out all my bitterness.

The laid-off workers of that era were able to talk about a lot of difficulties casually, and when they finally met a reporter, they had to make the difficulties as serious as possible so that the reporter could help solve them!

Ma Chiyu on the side was completely speechless.

"I'm here to report on motorized tricycles, not to pay attention to laid-off workers!" Ma Chiyu felt depressed.

Finally, Zhao Juxian's complaint came to an end, and Ma Chiyu asked, "Brother Zhao, does the tricycle you ride have any operating procedures?"

"Procedure? Speaking of this procedure, I get angry! Aren't I laid off, but the medical expenses still have to be reimbursed, but the reimbursement procedures in our factory are really troublesome. I was hospitalized with a gastric ulcer a few days ago.

…”

With one sentence, Zhao Juxian brought the topic to the issue of reimbursement of medical expenses for laid-off workers.

Ma Chiyu was depressed again. He felt that it was really impossible to have a normal conversation with such laid-off workers. So he simply made an excuse and ran away.

…

After interviewing several sandongzi drivers and several taxi drivers, Ma Chiyu finally set his sights on the manufacturer of sandongzi.

Ma Chiyu came to Fukang Agricultural Machinery, Li Weidong was not there, and Du Jiahai received Ma Chiyu.

"Reporter Ma, please have tea!" Du Jiahai poured tea for Ma Chiyu with a smile, and then asked: "Reporter Ma is here this time, what do you want to cover?"

"Manager Du, there have been a lot of three-wheeled motorcycles in our urban area recently. Are they produced by your factory?" Ma Chiyu asked straight to the point.

"What three-wheeled motorcycle? I don't know!" Du Jiahai deliberately pretended to be confused.

Ma Chiyu is also a senior reporter. He has seen many people who deliberately pretend to be stupid, so Ma Chiyu said directly: "Those three-wheeled motorcycles all have your Fukang trademark on them. Doesn't Manager Du know?"

"The problem is that our factory has never produced Fukang brand three-wheel motorcycles! In addition to agricultural vehicles, we have only produced scooters for the elderly," Du Jiahai said.

"Yes, I'm talking about that kind of scooter for the elderly." Ma Chiyu nodded.

"It turns out it's a Fukang elderly scooter. Our factory does have a product called Fukang elderly scooter."

Du Jiahai continued: "But you have to make it clear! There are many types of three-wheeled motorcycles on the market, including agricultural three-wheelers, police motorcycles, and modified rickshaws. They can all be considered three-wheeled motorcycles. You

Just talking about a three-wheeled motorcycle, I don’t know what you are talking about!”

"It's my fault." Ma Chiyu complained in his heart.

Then Ma Chiyu asked, "Manager Du, there are many three-wheeled motorcycles produced by your factory in our urban area..."

"Excuse me, it's a scooter for the elderly." Du Jiahai immediately corrected him.

"Okay, scooters for the elderly." Ma Chiyu nodded helplessly, and then said: "There are many scooters for the elderly produced by your factory that are engaged in non-operational activities! Do you know about this?"

"This is happening!" Du Jiahai pretended to be surprised, and then said: "Illegal operations are wrong!"

"Manager Du, someone is using your company's scooters for the elderly to engage in illegal operations. Will your company just let it go?" Ma Chiyu asked and I got it.

"Of course not!" Du Jiahai shook his head with a solution look on his face: "I believe that the transportation department will be able to successfully control illegal operations!"

"I'm not talking about the transportation department, I'm talking about your company. Don't you plan to take any measures?" Ma Chiyu asked.

"Measures?" Du Jiahai blinked and continued, "The illegal operation of vehicles is originally managed by the transportation department. Why should we overstep our authority and take care of the transportation department's affairs.

Moreover, we are just a company and do not have any law enforcement power. Besides, even if we want to take control, the transportation department is not willing!"

"But the tricycle is produced by your company!" Ma Chiyu said somewhat arrogantly.

Du Jiahai smiled slightly: "Reporter Ma, I think you have misunderstood. We produce scooters for the elderly, not operating vehicles. Our products are used by the elderly for daily transportation.

The elderly are getting older and their legs, feet and physical fitness are no longer working. Let them ride bicycles. Not to mention the effort, it is not safe and they are prone to falling. These elderly people are most afraid of falling. Once they fall, it will be big or small, and luck will come.

At worst, you have to lie in bed all the time.

So in order to make it easier for the elderly to travel, we, Fukang Agricultural Machinery, have produced this product. The scooter we have registered with the industrial and commercial department is also an elderly scooter, and the instructions say it is also an elderly scooter. We have never said that this scooter can be used for operation.

"

"But there are really many people in society now who use your elderly scooters to transport passengers!" Ma Chiyu said.

"So we believe that the transportation department will be able to successfully control illegal operations!" Du Jiahai said, returning to the transportation department.

Ma Chiyu was immediately speechless. When it came to Sanbengzi, Du Jiahai insisted that it was a scooter for the elderly. When it came to illegal operation, Du Jiahai referred it to the transportation department.

Over and over again, it just makes sense. This matter has nothing to do with our Fukang Agricultural Machinery!

…

Ma Chiyu had a bad encounter with Fukang Agricultural Machinery.

However, he was not discouraged. It is common for journalists to encounter obstacles.

Moreover, his previous interview materials are enough for a special report.

After returning to the TV station, Ma Chiyu immediately wrote the copy, cut the scenes, and found an announcer to provide narration.

Soon, a special program was released.

The title of the program is: Urban Cancer - Illegal Tricycle Operation.

Chapter 462 has been released, and a large part has been changed. If you want to read it, you can go back and read it. Today is more than 6,000 words. Thank you for your subscription, and thank you for your monthly votes!
