Chapter 902 Treating the Symptoms, Not the Root Cause

"Dad, just now I heard from my uncle that the county needs to add 100 taxis? We don't have that many people in Qingshu County. Now there are more than 100 taxis. If we continue to add 100 taxis, there will be vicious competition." ?”

"Vicious competition should not be enough. The iron county magistrate's idea is to first ban some old taxis that do not meet the safety inspection, and then increase the number of taxis. It is estimated that there will be about 200 taxis in the end. The car industry has too much influence!"

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 heard, and there is no definite news, but it is also embarrassing for the iron county magistrate. The general environment is that workers are laid off and unemployed. , all ran to pedal tricycles, and it may be possible to reduce some manpower and electric tricycles..."

"Increasing taxis can reduce the number of tricycles. What a weird algorithm! Laid-off workers have no choice but to ride tricycles, earning tens of dollars a day to support their families. If the county increases the number of taxis , is tantamount to squeezing the income of laid-off workers.”

Shen Dapeng's eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't know if this idea was the original intention of the county magistrate. If it was really the solution proposed by Tie Zhengshuo, he didn't agree with it at all. Once the policy is implemented, their life will only become more and more difficult.

"As I said just now, there is no other way. Now there are too many tricycles, and they don't obey the traffic laws. If they are directly banned, they are afraid of cutting off their source of income. I guess the county magistrate also wants to increase the number of taxis. Maybe Some people who ride tricycles will choose to drive taxis, the work is easier and they can make more money."

Shen Haitao's expression was very serious, but it was far from worrying. He is the deputy county magistrate, but he is only the deputy county magistrate who is in charge of public security. What's more, he is also the county police chief, not the traffic bureau. Whether it's a tricycle or a taxi, it's not his turn to overstep his authority.

"Cure the symptoms, not the root cause! No, neither the symptoms nor the root cause!"

Shen Dapeng was unconvinced and sneered helplessly, "To drive a taxi, you need a driver's license and a job license. You have to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a car, and you have to pay the taxi company for the license fee. All of this is equivalent to working part-time. Those with a driver's license can't drive a car, and those without money can't afford to drive, even if there are 10,000 more taxis, it has nothing to do with ordinary laid-off workers."

"Who told you this? Your uncle?"

Shen Haitao glanced blankly at Shen Dapeng. He had thought about Shen Dapeng's worries before, but he didn't think about the driver's license and mortgage. Indeed, not all families can get a mortgage of over 10,000 yuan and a taxi of tens of thousands of yuan. Come out, even if you can get it, it will take a few months at the fastest to get a driver's license. After careful calculation, it is estimated that you will not be able to make money for a year.

"Who needs to say that? You can understand it after thinking about it. I really don't understand what they are going to do. Can increasing the number of taxis be considered a performance?"

"Dapeng, it's fine to talk about this at home, but nonsense is not allowed outside, do you hear me?"

Shen Haitao sternly shouted, his expression was more serious than when Liu Hongbin left angrily just now, why Tie Zhengshuo increased the number of taxis, there must be a deeper problem, but it is not something that can be discussed casually, at least not on the table Talk about it clearly.

"I didn't have anything to do with it at first. I just thought those three-wheelers were too pitiful. After 100 brand-new taxis are approved and put on the road, I'm afraid their life will be even more difficult!"

Shen Dapeng pouted,

This matter has nothing to do with him at all, and it is not his turn to be worried and disturbed. He just talked about the entangled opinions in his heart. As for the decision of the county, his opinion is insignificant. To be precise, 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 the apron and held it in his hands. Even though he felt sorry for his son, he still beat him a few times with air gestures. Yes, how can you talk to me for no reason?

"We didn't quarrel, just chatted a few words. Since you two won't let me talk, I'll go back to my room and shut up and go to sleep. I happened to have a drink just now and still have a headache. Good night!"

"If you have a headache, go back and rest early. Remember to put on a soft mattress and cover yourself with a quilt."

Under his mother's careful instructions, Shen Dapeng sneaked back to his room, and 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 care too much. He took off his sweater and cotton trousers and got under the covers, lying on the bed bored and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The light in the room was turned off, only the lamp on the desk next to the bed illuminated the head of the bed. Shen Dapeng lay down for a while and still felt bored, so he got up and wanted to find a book to hypnotize him, but when he looked at the whole room, he was really like Jason That being said, there is not even a single book left.

Shen Dapeng seemed to remember that when he was selling books, he left behind a few collections of prose and poetry that he liked, but they disappeared anyway. He had no choice but to continue lying on the bed obediently, staring at the white roof with wide-eyed eyes, bored, Inadvertently remembered the taxi issue I had just talked about.

What he said to his father just now seemed to be a bit angry. In fact, Magistrate Tie’s thoughts must be positive. He hopes to increase the number of taxis to improve traffic and people’s employment. However, the process that needs to be experienced is too long. Who can earn a few tens of dollars to support their family by riding three-wheelers, who can take half a year to get a driver's license and take out a deposit of nearly 10,000 yuan to drive a taxi?

Thinking of the hard work of pedaling three rounds, Su Su's father, Su Huaren, suddenly appeared in his mind! That vicissitudes of face that was firmly blocked by the 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 its land occupation, he couldn't find a stable job. .

What good jobs can those laid-off workers who have not done business and have no skills needed by society find? Even if you buy a tricycle for a few hundred yuan to work hard, it only costs a few dozen yuan a day, and you can support your family. If you want to live a secure and stable life, it is just a dream.

And now the policy of the county has to be changed again. For the sake of the appearance of the county, for the convenience of transportation, and because the decision-makers think that it can change the lives of the people, they even plan to add 100 taxis. The life of the hard-working man is more difficult, and it will also put the taxi driver in a dilemma.
