Investment Life

In mid-April, the weather in Zhuhai also began to heat up.Nested in a low room, with the ceiling fan whistling and whirring above his head, but unable to get rid of the anxiety in his heart, Ma Lei looked out the door. In the warehouse 200 meters away, hundreds of TVs were pressing in the warehouse. Both trucks had already been driven out, but new drivers were hard to come by.It's the third day, and the next batch of goods will arrive in less than ten days. What should he use to repay the payment, and what should he use to continue buying?

Just as he was thinking, there was a jingle outside the door, and a man ran in.

"Brother, no, I've searched all over the station, and there's no driver!" With a fierce face, "Hey, you fucking Cantonese! The drivers are all grabbing the car, where can we find new people!"

Ma Lei wiped his face with his hand, and beads of sweat crackled and slid down his chin.He just knew it!The most popular thing in Zhuhai these days is not smuggling, but car trading.A Santana with a factory price came back from Shanghai, and it was worth 6 to 7 yuan. If you can get a new Audi from FAW, it will be even more incredible, just like stealing money.Batch after batch of seasoned drivers were raided to pick up goods from other places, and they desperately transported their cars to the stalls in Zhuhai, waiting for wealthy bosses from all over the country to pick up their cars. How could there be time for such small profits? buy and sell.

Seeing the tangled expression on the boss's face, the man gritted his teeth, "Why don't I go, it's tiring to run at home, it's better than being pressed in Curry..."

"You are so precious!" Ma Lei opened his mouth and scolded, "That hemp horse is a color TV, so expensive. If you drive on the provincial highway for a few days and break it, who will I ask for compensation?!"

After being scolded by someone, that person immediately scratched his head, "It's not that I drive too little, brother, if you ask me to drive a few more times, I must be good at it..."

"Get out! Stop pretending to be a baby with me, Wang Da is irritated!"

Quickly walking around the room a few times, Ma Lei couldn't bear it anymore, stomped his feet and gritted his teeth, "Or find a place to ship in the city, we won't make any money!"

The man became anxious when he heard this, "Brother! The sale is worth tens of thousands of yuan! It's the rainy season soon, who knows how many goods are left in the future! Don't worry, I'll look for it after I catch my breath. Even the spectrum driver can’t find it!”

While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard.Instantly alerted, Ma Lei winked, and the man ran towards the door without saying a word, and glanced out through the gap in the fence.

Hearing that it was not a police tune, Ma Lei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. There is still a warehouse of smuggled goods piled up in his yard, and it is no small matter if he is caught.However, seeing that the expression on the other party's face was not quite right, he pouted his mouth and asked Scar to ask questions.

"Who are you looking for?" Scar asked without hesitation.

"Is there a freight driver here? I saw the poster." The voice from outside the door was quite crisp, not in vernacular, but in Mandarin with a bit of a northern flavor.

The two were taken aback at the same time, Ma Lei walked quickly to the door, and took a look outside, only to see a child standing outside, with a bundle hanging on his shoulder, dressed in a trousers and vest, a little dark and thin, he looked rather The world is full of dust.Wage earners from out of town?Seeing Scar's searching eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Open the door."

The big iron door creaked open, and the boy glanced at the two unkind people in front of him. He didn't show any panic, but just repeated the sentence just now, "I can drive, are you still recruiting?"

Ma Lei narrowed his eyes. This was not what he thought. This young boy looked thin and weak, with the immature look of a student on his face. He didn't know if he was an adult. Boy, who dares to use it casually?

Scar on the side spoke first, "Which family's brat, go~~ Go home and find an adult. We're serious about running business here, so I don't have time for you."

The young man was unmoved by the crackling, and shook the job advertisement in his hand, "I saw it at the station, a skilled driver with more than 2 years of driving experience. I have studied with the master for 3 and a half years. He is a long-distance transporter for the army, and he is very skilled."

Scar sneered, "Learning to drive for 3 and a half years, are you 16 years old? 3 years ago, you could see the window from the driver's seat~"

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm 18 this year."

Ma Lei's eyebrows frowned even tighter. This boy does look a little strange. He is young, and he doesn't look immature when he talks to others. There are many places where nutrition can't keep up with the age. It's really hard to tell the age of a child.Moreover, that pretty-looking face was mottled and bruised. He must have been beaten up a few days ago, so he couldn't survive at home?

Seeing the skeptical expressions of the two, the young man simply suggested, "Didn't you mean to drive? Don't worry, let me go up and try it out. You don't even have empty cars, do you?"

Speaking of this, we can see the determination of the young man, who cares, there is really a shortage of people now, so it's good to try it out for a month.Ma Lei winked, and Scar grinned, "Applicant, come with me." He said and walked towards the courtyard.

Seeing that he had successfully passed the first level, the young man couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and followed quickly.The courtyard is not too big. It is estimated that it has not been taken care of all year round. The ground has a lot of oil stains and looks dirty.On one side are a few bungalows, which are built very low, and on the opposite side are vacant parking lots, loading and unloading bays, and a small warehouse. There is also an old banyan tree by the courtyard wall. The branches are almost as thick as two people. A small half of the courtyard is lush and inviting. There is a rocking chair and a few bamboo chairs under the tree. It seems that people often enjoy the shade there.

"How about it, will it open?"

A sentence interrupted his gaze, the boy turned his head, looked at the big blue truck beside Scar, and nodded.

It's here, that's right.Chen Yuanming's heart finally settled down, he found the right place.

In my previous life, when I went north to work, I worked with a fujian foreman who was particularly bragging at a construction site. According to him, I was running smuggled goods in Zhuhai two years ago, specializing in buying and selling large items such as color TVs and motorcycles.The boss is two cousins ​​from Changsha, and the relationship is very close.He traveled long distances with "Brother Scar", and the contact for purchases was "Brother Ma", the big boss.Back then, the two brothers had a big smuggling business, and they were the No. 94 figures on the southeast line. However, when the country cracked down on smuggling in [-], the two failed to escape the law, and they were arrested together and sentenced to ten years in prison.At that time, the whole gang fell apart and dispersed, so he pulled up a team and went to Beijing to start a business.

Because this period of history is too legendary, the Hokkien guy said over and over again that the village where they stocked up, the route they took, the temperament and appearance of the two bosses, and even the big banyan tree in the small courtyard were all smashed to pieces.At that time, there was no entertainment on the construction site, and after work, we would just sit in the shed and talk about the mountains together. Although it was a bit annoying to listen to this kind of bragging all the time, I have to say that this memory is still quite deep.Therefore, his first stop in the south was not set in Guangzhou or Shenzhen, but in Zhuhai.

After getting off the train, facing an unfamiliar environment, Chen Yuanming was also a little apprehensive, and even wondered if that Hokkien guy was bragging.It took him two whole days to find the land in his memory, and he happened to see the recruitment notice. Without saying a word, he came to apply directly.

"Hey, Yazi is not modest." Scar sneered, "Do you know what kind of car this is? Just nod first..."

"Jiefang CA141." Interrupting the other party's taunting, Chen Yuanming simply responded, "The new models just released a few years ago, except for this one, I have driven the old Jiefang and Steyr, and I am very familiar with them."

Ma Lei's eyes immediately flashed light. This kid has something in his stomach, and he doesn't just talk nonsense.You must know that the new Jiefang and Steyr are brand new models these years, and even Zhuhai only put on the gears in the past two years, and the few drivers he recruited had to practice for a few days before they really became familiar with them, let alone others. It is a skill to be able to recognize the car model at a glance.

Scar was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, but didn't lose his temper.

"Okay! Come up for a couple of laps and let me see your level."
