"The taxi can't be used anymore?"
Zhou Yan did not answer, but asked instead.
Tang Tang looked at the man in the windbreaker blankly. She suddenly felt that the man in the windbreaker was really humorous.
"It's terrible. The hosting fee is so expensive. How can there be any profit? The new students have started school in the past few days. I could have made a fortune, but you ended up messing it up."
The man in the trench coat curled his lips.
"Escrow fee..."
Zhou Yan knew that the escrow fee mentioned by the man in the windbreaker should be the fee that the taxi driver has to pay to the taxi company, which is regarded as the cost of renting a car.
In his previous life, he had seen an interview about a black car driver.
Reporters secretly interviewed unlicensed car drivers about why they refused to use meters to calculate prices. The most common answer given by unlicensed car drivers was that if they didn't do it this way, they wouldn't be able to collect the escrow fees. Not only would they not make much money, they would also suffer losses.
Later, the taxi industry rectified and canceled the high 'escrow fee', and the drivers breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, it is also related to the rise of taxi-hailing software. Taxi-hailing software allows drivers to use private cars to pick up and drop off passengers without paying the so-called "escrow fee". It can be said that it is much more convenient and saves a lot of money.
This also resulted in the taxi company having to adjust its plan. After all, if it did not make corrections, all its drivers would be gone.
After all, the high 'escrow fee' makes the driver refuse to use the meter, so the driver is the one who makes the profit, and the taxi company is the one who loses.
Orders can only be issued by using the meter. Without the meter, the space for operation can be said to be very large.
Zhou Yan knew that some people who ganged up to bully passengers like this at Hongcheng Station actually didn't have bad intentions. Sometimes, life made them unable to survive, so they resorted to such tactics.
But this kind of behavior that relies on squeezing the interests of others to satisfy oneself is naturally unfair.
Zhou Yan's behavior of setting up a Qianhu campus dedicated line can be said to have severely suppressed their arrogance.
However, Zhou Yan was also a little surprised. He didn't know what medicine the black truck driver was selling in his gourd.
"Well, uncle is not a bad person."
Seeing Zhou Yan and Tang Tang staring at him, the man in the windbreaker touched his head in embarrassment.
He took out his cigarette case and subconsciously wanted to give one to Zhou Yan, but Tang Tang glared and the man in the windbreaker shrank back.
"I just want to ask, how do you make a profit? Hongcheng Station has more monks than meat. Sometimes my brothers wander around for a day and may not be able to attract many customers?"
After all, the man in the trench coat was a middle-aged man in his forties, but he was a little hesitant when he asked this question.
"Stone."
Tang Tang pulled Zhou Yan's sleeve. How could Zhou Yan not know that the little girl wanted him not to tell the man in the windbreaker.
"We just work part-time for the bus company."
Zhou Yan spoke calmly.
"Hey, young man, don't hide this from your uncle. They have a long way to go before taking the bus. It would be great if the Transportation Management Office didn't cause trouble for them. How can they attract any customers? You must have given them some advice."
The man in the trench coat looked like I didn’t believe him.
"You really want to do this?" Zhou Yan looked a little weird.
"Let's find another way for our brothers." The man in the windbreaker smiled.
"Okay." Zhou Yan nodded and looked at Tang Tang, "Bring me my schoolbag."
"Stone." Tang Tang didn't know what kind of medicine Zhou Yan was selling in his gourd, but when he met Zhou Yan's confident eyes, he nodded and trotted to the small western-style building of the bus company.
Tang Tang came back soon and brought back Zhou Yan's schoolbag and a big umbrella.
"They said it would rain here later and asked me to bring an umbrella." Tang Tang explained, and then handed the schoolbag to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan nodded, took out his Nokia and looked at the time, three forty.
I looked at the sky again, it was still clear.
However, the weather in Hongcheng is always changeable.
In his previous life, Zhou Yan went to school in Hongcheng. It was sunny and windy in the morning, but it started raining heavily in the afternoon. If you were walking on the road without an umbrella at this time, you would most likely be soaked by the heavy rain pouring down.
Zhou Yan put his schoolbag on the table and took out a stack of paper. The ink on it was not yet dry.
It has a 'smell-smelling' printer smell.
It's still warm to the touch.
Zhou Yan took out a contract and handed it to the man in the windbreaker.
"what's that?"
The man in the trench coat subconsciously took it.
I only saw a line of large bold letters written on it.
Agency contract.
The man in the trench coat flipped through the contract. As the head of a black truck driver, he still had some discernment. After flipping through it for almost three minutes, the man in the trench coat finally closed the contract and exhaled a foul breath.
He looked at Zhou Yan and said with a smile, "My feelings are waiting for me here."
"Just helping them with their business."
Zhou Yan smiled slightly, "It's not you, it can be someone else."
"One percent, isn't it a little bit missing?" The man in the windbreaker was silent and suddenly spoke.
"This is not something I can consider. You can take your brothers and talk about it in person."
Zhou Yan smiled.
"High, really high."
The man in the windbreaker gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up, "Young man, you are more promising than me, and you are more promising than I was back then. Even though I was as successful at picking up girls as you were back then, my business skills were still inferior to yours." A bargain."
"What are you talking about? You're trying to pick up a girl." Tang Tang glared at the man in the trench coat.
Even at such an old age, he is still shameless and makes random jokes.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm so tongue-tied." The man in the windbreaker said with a sneer, and took a deep look at Zhou Yan, "I underestimated you, I really shouldn't have killed you at that time, no, I really should have killed you, right!"
The man in the windbreaker said with a smile, "Young man showed us a clear path."
"It's not a clear path, it's just about making quick money and mutual benefit."
Zhou Yan curled his lips and said, but handed over a stack of contracts in his hand.
They are all foxes who have lived for thousands of years, so there is no need to play any kind of fairy tale.
"Thank you very much. This is my business card. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me."
The man in the windbreaker took the contract, then took out a card from his jacket pocket. He felt that one card seemed too few, so he took out several more cards and handed them to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, but still took it.
After taking a look, there was only a name and a series of phone numbers on it.
Dong Chenggong.
Calling this name, it seems, is not very successful.
Zhou Yan had a dark heart, but he still put the business card away.
"Okay, let's go first. I hope I can catch up with the hot soup."
Dong Chenggong said to Zhou Yan in a very quaint manner, and then left holding the stack of contracts as if holding a treasure.
He still held the phone in his hand. Judging from his anxious look, he probably only knew how to negotiate contracts between brothers.
"Stone, what's going on?"
Tang Tang was a little confused, "Why did you turn enemies into friends with him in such a short time?"
