The weather a year ago was not very good. It started to rain on the second day after returning, and then it started to snow.
The snow was falling heavily, and the ground was already completely white before noon.
In previous years, if it snowed at this time, many people would frown, because the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. It is very inconvenient to go out and visit relatives after the New Year at this time. By then, let alone riding or driving, it will be inconvenient to even walk.
This year there is no need to worry about such things, because Yangjia Village has access roads from all directions, so you don’t have to worry about it raining or the road turning into mud when skiing and making it impossible to get out.
"How do you like it? Isn't your car domineering? This car is much more valuable than your car." Xiao Wu said while holding a cigarette and pointing to the car parked at the door.
"Go away, Xuzi's car is enough to buy dozens of cars like yours, you still have the nerve to say that?" Daliang joked beside him with a smile.
Because what was parked in front of Xiaowu was not other cars, but country buses, a dozen in total.
Although long-distance buses don't cost tens or even millions, smaller country buses like this still cost three to four hundred thousand, so a dozen or so buses are indeed quite a lot of money.
These cars are all prepared for rural tourism after next spring. Since the tourism project is invested by Li Fuzhen, naturally he has to take care of his own people for some profitable projects.
Xiaowu's truck fleet has done well in the past two years, so when he saw such an opportunity this time, he actively pursued it.
Then he contributed part of it himself, and then raised funds from other truck drivers in the company's fleet, so he built such a rural fleet.
This fleet is not only used to receive tourists, but is also used as a rural express line.
In recent years, Xiaowu and others have frequently dealt with the town and even the city's transportation bureau. Therefore, when he started to build roads from village to village, he applied for many routes in nearby towns and villages.
At the same time, after integrating the previous small fleets with the newly purchased 16 rural buses, he has taken over the bus business of rural routes in eight villages in ten miles.
With such a large stall, although a large amount of management fees need to be paid every year and a lot of money has to be distributed to the team, after calculation, there is still some profit.
What's more, in addition to running the country bus, there is also a way to earn money by receiving tourists.
There is no airport in Chengwang City, only a train station and a bus station, so if there are relatively wealthy passengers, they can take a plane to experience rural life. Then we have to run to Zhucheng to pick him up. The round trip is only 500 kilometers.
This is a pick-up and drop-off service, especially after the tourists come up. You don’t have to empty the car whether you are dropping off or picking up the passengers. You can make a lot of money this time.
If it weren't for the lack of money on hand, Xiaowu would like to buy a few more cars and take over the tourist reception work in further places.
Unfortunately, after raising several million dollars, his father was already frightened.
If he borrows another million yuan, his family will definitely not agree. Even borrowing it from Yang Dongxu was not possible, so this matter could only be dropped.
However, he and Daliang are quite satisfied with the current scale. After all, Mr. Yang can be said to be a real person.
"Xuzi, do you think it's profitable to open a driving school? If you don't want to make a big one, make a small one, just set one up in our village or in the town." Daliang asked.
"Why do you think of doing this?" Yang Dongxu was a little surprised.
"When we went to the city to apply for the bus operation qualification certificate, we were mentioned to a few familiar leaders while having dinner. We didn't go into too much detail, but I felt it was an opportunity." Xiao Wu was the one who replied.
"It will definitely make money once it's done. If it works, go to the town and apply for land approval. Although we have vacant land here, it doesn't occupy a main road after all.
Going to the town to get land is not only from our town, but also people from other towns can be attracted because of the convenient transportation. You will definitely make a lot of money by then. Yang Dongxu said.
In the next two years, driving schools will really appear all over the country. Some small villages will buy a few broken cars as practice vehicles, and then let some large driving schools affiliate with them to help attract students and teach students.
The reproduction model is just like the Internet cafes of previous years. The reason why these things are opened so much is naturally because they can make money. And if done well, it can be turned into a long-term business.
There will be a strange phenomenon in rural areas in the future, that is, whether there is a need or not, people will buy a car to show their dignity. And you must have this driver's license before buying a car, right?
Compared to other people who have fixed jobs and study for driving licenses in big cities.
More people go out to work. Basically, the factory this year and the construction site next year are not fixed.
Therefore, these people just stay at home for a year and a half to take the driver's license test. Because it is much cheaper to take a driving license test in my hometown than in a big city.
Therefore, as long as there is no shortage of students when running a driving school, there will be enough people from all over the country who want to learn to drive to support the driving school.
What's more, with the rise of rural tourism projects, more people will definitely stay in their hometowns to make a living. With fewer people going out, the basic number of people who want to learn to drive will increase.
"Is that business license easy to get?" Daliang couldn't help but ask.
Compared with Xiao Wu who likes to run a car team, he is more interested in making a living like a driving school.
"If you want to do it, I'll ask someone to say hello to the city's competent department. For other procedures, you can apply according to the normal procedures.
But this driving school is the same as the fleet you have now.
As long as the fleet has a car and the operating license is issued, you can start running.
After all, a driving school is a place similar to teaching and educating people, so you'd better find a professional to manage it and find some professional coaches.
At the same time, the examination process and application procedures must be made clear.
And let me make it clear that I can help you find someone to go through the procedures for your operating license and so on. But from now on, when it comes to driving school students’ exams, don’t try to do anything else, such as selling driver’s licenses, or doing things like that.
At best, this thing is called misleading people's children, but at worst, it is training road killers. If I bought this driver's license from you, and I got into an accident while driving, it would be enough for you to drink a cup of it if you were investigated later. "
Yang Dongxu is the one who said the ugly things first.
"That's not possible." Da Liang waved his hands repeatedly, "How could I do such an immoral thing. Besides, if the home school is open in the town, the people who come to learn to drive will be people from eight villages in ten miles.
I, Daliang, have some respect in these ten miles and eight villages. It’s okay if nothing happens if I do such a thing. What if something happens to me? Will we hold our heads high in front of blind dates from now on? "
"Just know the seriousness of the matter." Yang Dongxu nodded, "If you really want to do it, you can first understand how the driving school operates and what basics are needed.
After understanding it, if you feel you can do it, we can apply for the business license.
Don't feel like you can't do it when the time comes, and you don't want to do it anymore, so you're trying to get favors in vain. "
"I definitely want to do it, but what you said is right. I need to understand it first before I say anything. I can't do something I'm not sure about. It's just after I understand it that I do it. The starting capital..."
"Call me when you need how much money you need, or you can ask your sister-in-law." Yang Dongxu said, and then thought of something and continued, "How about this, how much money is needed then, let Xiaocheng take a share.
He will not participate in the specific management, and he will be given a dividend when profits are made at the end of the year. It will be easier for him to register at the driving school in the future. "
"Sure, I will understand when the time comes. If you really want to do it, let Xiaocheng take a share." Daliang clapped his hands and was very enthusiastic about Xiaocheng's shareholding.
On the surface, this matter seemed to be that Yang Dongxu wanted to get his brother-in-law involved to share the money, but in fact, Daliang knew better.
This is because Yang Dongxu is afraid that someone will take advantage of him in the future and it will be difficult for him to do things here.
They are all adults and have experienced severe beatings from society. They have seen and heard a lot about the twists and turns in some things.
So when the driving school is really started, some people will be jealous of making money, or some people will be bad.
With the name of Yang Dongxu's brother-in-law in front of him, it is definitely better than his name of Yang Dongliang, and he can avoid a lot of trouble.
The real purpose of Yang Dongxu letting Xiaocheng participate in the operation is to help the driving school operate better and avoid hidden troubles.
Of course, at the same time, I also selfishly want to increase the income of my brother-in-law's family. This is much better than giving money directly to my brother-in-law.
Smoking, drinking, and playing cards.
To be honest, the Chinese New Year time in rural areas is the most lively time of the year and also the most decadent time of the year.
I didn't do anything all day long, just thinking about how to eat and how to play.
In the past, people of Yang Dongxu's generation could go to the river bank to relax in winter, but now they go inside to play cards. And it’s more comfortable to play cards with the air conditioner on.
"Don't leave even at noon. Let's go to the restaurant down the street and make a beef pot and drink some." The general who won money from playing cards waved his hand very proudly.
That's the only good thing about playing cards in the village. If you lose money, you can have a good meal, and losing money doesn't feel like a big loss. Even if the person who wins money doesn't win enough, he may end up adding some to it.
When living conditions improve and people have money, it is easy to become lazy.
When I won money in the past, I would buy some meat and vegetables to drink at home. Now I'm too lazy to bother with that, so I just go to the restaurant on the street. After drinking too much, I go home and my wife doesn't have to clean up and wash the dishes - it's comfortable.
"Let's go, let's start building." Xiao Wu stood up and stretched, "Don't drink too much at noon, come back and play cards after dinner.
It's still snowing outside in this winter, so I don't know what to do if I don't play cards. I'll have another meal and drink some more in the evening, then go home and cover my head to sleep, and it'll be a good day again. "
"Then I'll call and say I won't go back to eat, so that my family won't come looking for me when it's time to eat." Yang Dongxu stood up as he spoke.
Then he looked outside and said, "It's snowing so heavily. I don't know if the clothes of these little brats have gotten wet. Do you know if you can go home for lunch?"
“Children of this age are at the time when they are naughty. Today’s snow is so heavy that it’s hard to get a few clothes wet unless the weather is so heavy.
As for eating, there is no need to worry about it. You can deal with someone who is hungry at noon. "Daliang said with a smile.
"Yes." Yang Dongxu nodded.
This is the good thing about children in rural areas. The whole village is either uncle or aunt shouting.
When it's meal time, everyone can enjoy it a little, for example, when Xiao Wenchen didn't go to kindergarten and was still in his hometown.
Whenever it was time to eat, he would walk around the village with a bowl, taking a bite from any house he visited, as if he were begging for food.
