Chapter 118: There is a new round of explosion hidden

The person most directly affected by the decline of the real economy may be truck drivers. Once a company closes, there will be no logistics demand. Without logistics demand, truck drivers will lose their jobs.

The more companies that fail, the more truck drivers are unemployed, and this unemployment is different from the unemployment of ordinary workers.

Ordinary workers can find other jobs after they are unemployed. If they are lucky, they can still find a subsistence job, but truck drivers are different. In the absence of new logistics needs, jobs will only become fewer and fewer, not more and more. more.

This also makes it difficult for truck drivers to find a very suitable job once they are unemployed, even if the salary standard requirements are lowered.

Truck drivers are a very special group. They can be grouped into the working class, but it is clear that workers are unwilling to accept this group of truck drivers with higher wages, better benefits than them, and good jobs and easy jobs.

And truck drivers don’t want to hang around with sweaty workers. After all, they still have a "exclusive car."

This has also resulted in the workers' union not paying much attention to the problem of unemployed truck drivers. Anyway, if there is a chance to make trouble, it will make trouble, and if there is no chance, it will pretend not to see it.

In fact, the work of a truck driver is not only hard, but also dangerous.

Even today, there are still many toll road hogs active on intercontinental highways. The hundreds of kilometers of uninhabited high-speed kilometers are like traveling in **** for every truck driver, every trip. All dance on the lifeline.

If you are not careful, you will die in the middle of the road without knowing when, and the truck will be driven away by others, leaving only a pile of bones that will soon merge with the whole nature.

Therefore, when truck drivers are on the road, they are often in fleets, especially on intercontinental routes. It is very dangerous for two or three vehicles to run together, often with more than five trucks.

They won’t stop when they encounter something on the road, and they just ran into it.

But are all big truck drivers good people?

Obviously not. In the FBI files on highway homicides in the past, it can be said that most highway-related homicides are more or less related to truck drivers.

The most famous is the "high-speed serial homicide." A big truck driver who likes to run a single gang, is willing to help others, and also likes to kill people after helping others. After being arrested, the driver confessed to dozens of homicides on the highway. Some police did not even find out.

In short, this is a very special group. Outside of the highway, they are ordinary people. They are not too different. They may look a bit fierce, but in general they are just ordinary people.

But once they enter their "field", these people will undergo a kind of change from the inside out, a fundamental change.

Lynch took them to the outdoor parking lot. The front of the truck and the towing, including the trailer, were not integrated. They were all looking at the front of the big truck.

There were more than forty trucks parked in the entire open space. Cook suddenly became a little excited. He ran to the front of a truck, his lips trembling slightly.

He gently stroked the headlights, a little guilty and a little distressed. Cook's friend James stood aside and explained to Lynch, "That was Cook's truck before our company went bankrupt."

"Understandable..." Master Lynch is a very tolerant and kind person. He didn't destroy the warmth of the encounter between Cook and his beloved truck.

After a while, Cook came back to his senses and scratched his head a little embarrassedly. It seemed that this person who looked like a monster was actually a little shy and shy.

This is also a notable feature of truck drivers' lack of social interaction, and their circle is too narrow.

There was a desire in his eyes, and he was embarrassed to say it, but Lynch kindly hooked his finger at the staff, "Get the key of that car and let my friend go and see."

As soon as Lynch said this, the eyes of all truck drivers became a little different. First of all, they began to respect Lynch, because Lynch showed through behavior that he did not look down or look at Cook in other humiliating ways. Instead, let someone take the key to Cook's car to satisfy Cook's little wish.

Secondly, he did not say that they were subordinates, employees, or truck drivers, but used the word "friend".

It may be because there are always appalling news on highways. In this civilized society, not everyone is willing to be friends with truck drivers on these highways.

Coupled with their narrow social circle and the existence of everyone, a certain degree of social barriers, and their irritable personality, the only people who can accept them are themselves.

Lynch, the big boss and businessman, called them friends, which was very emotional and made them feel a kind of warm power.

If placed in the past, they might not have such strong feelings, but now, after a few months to half a year after they were unemployed, Lynch’s words are like the sunshine that warms all things in winter, dissolving their hearts. Hard ice!

Cook didn't know how to express his feelings and emotions at this moment. In the end, a thousand words could only be expressed with a single "thank you". He was a beast who didn't know how to express.

After getting the key, Cook immediately changed into another appearance. He easily took out the toolkit from the compartment, then opened the engine cover, and began to check the condition of the vehicle. He quickly entered his role.

Lynch looked at other people, "What are you waiting for, maybe there is your car here, maybe there is none but there is a car you like, why not go check it out or give it a try?"

This sentence immediately moved the group of people, they had long wanted to move, but they were more reserved.

With Lynch's permission, they immediately thanked them and took the keys to study their cars, while Lynch looked at the truck drivers from the edge of the parking lot.

As the times said, the highway is an extra-legal place, especially the intercontinental highway, and there is nothing to be seen on the highway for hundreds or thousands of kilometers.

Even on highways in the state, there are only occasional police cars parked at intersections that enter the highway. They will not actively interfere with things on the highway. It is the truck driver's place.

If someone can control most truck drivers in a state, then that person controls the entire state's logistics system.

train?

Well, that is indeed a good way to avoid truck drivers, but trains still face two problems.

The Baylor Federation does not have a complete railway network that can radiate to all parts of the Federation. Due to the geological topography, not all places are suitable for laying railways. At the same time, railways in too barren areas are also lost.

In addition, the private use of railways is not high, which makes railway companies a thing of the past before they develop and grow.

It has become the consensus of everyone to lose money when doing railways, but railways still exist. Generally speaking, there will be railway networks covering several major cities in each state to facilitate the flow of people. However, intercontinental railways are not. See more.

If Lynch controls the logistics in the state, he can pinch some people's necks. Even if he doesn't do anything, it will be easy for him to intervene in certain businesses in the future.

Even if he doesn't pay, he can still get a certain degree of stock. Who will let him control the logistics and transportation?

After waiting here for more than half an hour, Cook packed his tools, and by the way, he also packed himself up. He happily said that the car is well maintained, except for some small problems that have already existed. What a big problem.

Others have similar views on their own cars or the cars they have chosen, and Lynch didn’t bother to talk about the price directly with the dealer’s manager.

For a large truck like this, a brand new one costs between 30,000 and 50,000. Although the price is not particularly expensive, it is not something that a truck driver like Cook can consume.

Even now, these cars are already used cars, and their prices are all over 15,000 yuan.

After a cordial conversation with the dealer’s manager and the dealer’s owner, Lynch signed a special agreement with them. He will buy a total of no less than 100 trucks in half a year, and the price must be reduced to 10,000. Below two thousand yuan.

The dealership is only responsible for providing vehicles for Lynch to choose. It is Lynch’s freedom to choose.

If such an agreement were placed in front of the owner of the car dealer five years ago, he would tear it up without hesitation, and then snarled "get out" at the door.

But now, his eyelids jerked while signing the agreement, and he also thanked Master Lynch for taking care of his business.

With the vehicle in hand, it means that the funds are in a deadlock~lightnovelpub.net~ Times and events are changing every day.

Facing a future that can already make people feel tragic, having a sum of money in hand and having dozens of cars are completely different situations.

Even if you don't make a lot of money, even if you don't make money, this is a very rare call-off meeting for the owner of the car dealer. He must bite the bullet and sign this agreement.

Immediately, Lynch asked Cook and the others to drive to the club. After a few days of arrangements, everyone in the club had reached an agreement with Kane on their opinions and ended their club career.

As the boss and great philanthropist, Lynch should comfort these people and give them recognition that they have worked for the club.

Before that, he had to go to Joe Griman's side and bought a car again. It must be mortgaged to the bank and use other people's money to serve himself. This is the core of the "financial game".

Those who use their own money to serve themselves but have to take risks...

Lynch never discriminates against people with intellectual problems, but instead thinks they are cute!
