The villain also has spring

Just before public opinion began to pay close attention to Wu Chen's New York explosive purchase plan, a job advertisement posted all over New York almost instantly attracted the attention of the whole city.

Anyone with a discerning eye will soon find out that these 10 requirements are basically copying the recruiting conditions of the Navy Seal Commando (SEAL), okay? !

What comes to mind when you see this job offer?

Everyone's first reaction was, this is the recruitment of strong security guards, right?

Wrong, this is clearly an advertisement for taxi drivers! !

The point is, the hourly wage is as high as $72.5!That's 7.25 times the federal minimum wage of $10 an hour!

10 times the salary, recruit taxi drivers? !

He really deserves to be a person who owns a planet...

What is the greatest wealth in the ten-year war on terrorism in the United States?

That's right, these experienced veterans!

However, what did these veterans who went through life and death for the country gain in the end?

Nothing but war syndrome.

As an active senior commander said: "American soldiers during World War II were heroes in the hearts of the people. The welcome and support they received after returning home helped them overcome their psychological problems. But whether it is the declared end of the Iraq war or the current The troubled Afghan war has been widely questioned domestically. Only 100 out of 20 Americans believe that the Iraq war was worth fighting; while 10 out of 6 Americans oppose the Afghan war. The officers and soldiers returning home neither get flowers, There was no applause, which frustrated many frontline officers and soldiers."

In addition to civil public opinion and the political environment, which increased the psychological pressure on officers and soldiers.The moral trial that is endured all the time is another important weight that crushes veterans.

Many officers and soldiers said frankly that they "don't know why they went to Afghanistan to fight", but as soldiers, they must "obey orders as their bounden duty".

This kind of suffering of "unable to figure it out" and "unable to do so" tortures veterans all the time.

In addition, in recent years, the opponents of the rice troops stationed abroad have also become more and more proficient in psychological warfare. They will broadcast the pictures of how they attack the coalition troops stationed abroad through network videos and radio broadcasts. The bloody scenes often make the soldiers stationed abroad sensitive. Nerves are greatly stimulated.

As a result, veterans returning from the front line, more or less, suffer from one of the most common types of war syndrome: PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder), or "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder."

However, the Pentagon has so far been reluctant to acknowledge the so-called "war syndrome" or "post-traumatic stress disorder."

The U.S. Armed Forces Health Monitoring Center also argued that the mental health of soldiers is "not directly related" to combat deployment, but the "Washington Post" published an article as early as 2009 warning that "war syndrome" is falling into the quagmire of war circulated among soldiers.

The results of a study by the PTSD Center of the Department of Veterans Affairs show: "Retired officers and soldiers suffering from PTSD are indeed more prone to violence than ordinary people. It will quietly swallow up human nature and lead to unimaginable crimes."

Coupled with the continued downturn in the real economy and the high unemployment rate, the veterans who have lost their honor have even lost their employment opportunities.In addition to receiving all kinds of disability pensions and even unemployment benefits on time, many of them have even become a problem for their survival.

In other words, we only need a security guard.Instead of a killing machine proficient in scouting, data collection, water raids, infiltration operations, and ambushes... okay?

Therefore, this recruitment advertisement for a taxi driver with an hourly salary of up to $72.5 can be imagined to have such a huge lethality among veterans!

And it's after-tax hourly wages!

Look at my mouth shape: after tax! !

The most frustrating thing is that the number of recruits is impressively written: 10000 people!

He wants to recruit [-] people who are proficient in reconnaissance of the enemy, data collection, water raids, infiltration operations and ambushes... killing machines to be taxi drivers!

gosh...

You know, including all kinds of taxis in New York City, there are only 5 taxis!

The yellow Ford Victoria Crown (CrownVictoria) taxi that shuttles between buildings in Manhattan, New York has long become a symbol of the city.It is not difficult to find them in many classic movies.However, the types of New York taxis are much more than this one.

In New York, taxis generally fall into two categories: yellow and green.Taxis painted yellow, also known as Medalion Taxis, can pick up passengers anywhere in the five boroughs of New York.Green taxi, also known as Boro taxi (BoroTaxis).Taxis painted green are only allowed to pick up passengers in Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island, excluding LaGuardia and JFK in Queens.

Both types of taxis are operated by private companies and are regulated by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (NYCTaxiandLimousineCommission, referred to as: TLC).

计价形式相同，起步价2.5美元（0.2英里以内），之后每0.2英里（约320米）或者等候2分钟加收40美分。从晚间8点到早上6点期间，加收夜行附加费0.50美元。高峰时刻（周一到周五下午4点到8点）附加费1美元。此外，乘客还需承担乘车期间产生的任何费用并另付小费（15%以上）。

In 1937, when New York just started issuing taxi licenses, a license cost only $10.Drivers only need to have a license plate and a driver's license to practice.Since 1930, after the excessive issuance of licenses led to a strike by taxi drivers, the number of taxi licenses has remained stable at around 1937 since 1.3.License holders can transfer or lease freely, and the government will not charge additional taxes on transactions.With the economic growth, the taxi industry is booming day by day. By 2012, the price of a taxi license even exceeded 100 million US dollars. In 2014, the price of a single license even skyrocketed to $126 million!

Few private taxi drivers can afford such high prices.

Therefore, most of the city's approximately 5 drivers who have taxi licenses choose to rent licenses from taxi companies.

For drivers with a license plate, this license plate, which can be compared to gold, is their greatest guarantee of life.In addition, it is the trade unions that provide them with protection.

As long as the driver joins the trade union, not only will various traffic fines be reduced or exempted, but the trade union will also provide assistance such as lawyers and bail payment if he is arrested for serious violations.Drivers at fault may even enjoy immunity from appearing in traffic court.If the driver is complained by a passenger, the upper limit of the ticket is only 150 dollars (the friends are shocked), and if the passenger does not show up for the hearing, the driver will also get an additional 50 dollars in relief (is this really a democratic country?) .

The New York Taxi Union currently has more than 15000 members. They participate in political affairs at the city and state levels, and defend the dominant position of the taxi industry from the policy level (have you seen the strength of the union?).

In other words, if Wu Chen wanted to get involved in New York's taxi market, he had to buy enough taxi licenses at a price of more than one million dollars per license.

126 taxis require a record US$[-] billion!

Moreover, with Wu Chen's strong intervention, it is foreseeable that the only 1.3 taxi license plates, which are already scarce resources, will skyrocket all the way.In the end, Wu Chen even had to spend several times or even ten times the price to acquire enough licenses!It is likely to be far less than [-]!

The lord may not care, but this obviously does not meet Su Yueming's expectation.

"Honey, how about trying online car-hailing?" Su Damei gave another solution.

"There are also online car-hailing services in New York?" Wu Chen was taken aback.In other words, isn't this unique to China?

"In fact, this kind of similar taxi-hailing service has already appeared in the United States. Because the times and the calling tools are different, the names are also different. In the United States, this kind of taxi that quietly emerged in the 60s is called 'e-hailing car. '." Su Yueming explained.

Due to the limitation of the number of taxi license plates, about 3/4 of the taxis are crowded in downtown Manhattan, which only accounts for 1/4 of the total population (is there a feeling of deja vu?).It is almost difficult for residents in the four surrounding districts to hail a taxi, and the limitations of taxis are becoming increasingly apparent.As a result, a new way of travel was born - e-hailing.

E-hailing is when a passenger calls an e-hailing company to reserve a vehicle.They are uniformly painted black, and most of them are luxury brands, but the price is not more expensive than a taxi.Passengers need to inform their location and destination when booking a car, and the e-hailing company will provide passengers with the price of the trip according to the distance.Since the 20s, e-hailing companies have gradually occupied business in the four major districts outside Manhattan.In order to avoid disorderly competition between e-hailing cars and taxis, the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission stipulates that taxis cannot be rented by phone; There are many restrictions on waiting in line at stations and other places.

Just like the Second Avenue subway line built by Wu Chen, the purpose of investing 10000 taxis is also to transfer the population to Staten Island faster when the crisis breaks out.

So, as Su Yueming thought, Wu Chen didn't have to engage in a cruel and vicious competition with the original taxi industry.A service similar to e-hailing is enough to solve all problems.

Thinking of this, Wu Chen immediately looked at Mrs. Spider Web: "Cassandra, are you familiar with New York Taxi and Limousine Commission TLC?"

"I can find a reliable candidate and get in touch with the management of TLC." As expected of the well-connected Mrs. Spiderweb.

"Okay, let's make an appointment as soon as possible to meet up. Try to agree on the rental route before the subway line is exposed." Wu Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, master."

Soon, Mrs. Spiderweb arranged a meeting time.

When Wu Chen arrived as scheduled, he found that Mr. Riley from the Transport Labor Union TWU was also there.

It seems that he is very familiar with the TLC committee members.Think about it and understand.After all, both subways and taxis belong to the transportation industry.It's normal to be familiar with each other.

"Mr. Wu, let me introduce you." Mr. Riley smiled and got up: "This is Chairman Bill Bob."

"Hello." Wu Chen smiled and shook hands with a bald black man.

"Mr. Wu, I heard that you are recruiting drivers." The black chairman of the TLC committee smiled with a trace of horror.

"Yes." Wu Chen nodded kindly: "Taxi driver."

"Ten thousand?" The black chairman asked again in fear.

"Yes, we will invest in [-] taxis."

"If you have three shifts, you need 3 drivers. Even more." The black chairman's expression suddenly became serious: "3 powerful war...drivers, the impact on the original system is almost devastating. "

Wu Chen understood his worry: "Actually, I need [-] taxis between Staten Island and the four districts."

The black chairman with a frowning face hurriedly asked: "So, you need a taxi driver for the Staten Island line, don't you?"

"That's right." Wu Chen added in detail: "I need a bus that can get on anywhere in New York City and return to Staten Island; it can also take passengers from Staten Island to any location in New York and get off the bus." , a dedicated passenger line."

After fully understanding Wu Chen's words, the black chairman nodded happily: "Get on the bus from any location in New York and arrive at Staten Island; and there is a special line that can get off at any location in New York from Staten Island."

"That's right." Wu Chen nodded happily.

Before the words fell, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Mr. Riley made a sweat gesture: "Mr. Wu, we thought you were going to war with the entire New York taxi industry."

The black chairman also smiled with relief: "Although we have a large number of people, we are sure that we will lose miserably."

Isn't it!

Don't even look at who Wu Chen recruited!After ten years of fighting against terrorism, the United States has accumulated a large number of elite veterans who are good at urban warfare!

In other words, is the plot in front of you very similar to "Gears of War"?Human beings have continued civil wars because of super energy, and were caught off guard by the underground orcs.However, relying on those elite veterans who have been honed in the human civil war and have experienced many battles, humans still beat the orcs to the ground!

A war machine with one against a hundred!

The [-] taxi drivers recruited by Wu Chen, combined with the black technology of New Hong Kong, can literally overthrow the entire New York!

The more you think about it, the more interesting the lord can't help but blurt out: "Twenty thousand special lines, three shifts."

"..." The group of people who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly felt their hearts hang again.

6 war drivers!

Damn... can I say dirty words, please!
