"This way... slow down!"
"Yes, slow down!"
"Okay!" Graf patted the cabin of the truck and looked at the young man who got out of the driver's seat with some envy. That young man was only in his early twenties, and he had already driven a truck. You must know that Graf's dream when he was a child was to become a truck driver. Every day he would be loaded with goods and happily roam the streets of the city. No one could stop his freedom.
But unfortunately, until now he can't afford a truck, let alone drive.
The truck driver's name was Myron, Mr. Crean's son. Mr. Crean spent a large sum of money to buy this truck, and then used his status and connections at the station to make short-distance deliveries for some cargo owners. I have to say that the reason why capitalists can become capitalists is indeed not just a boast. He has a sharp vision and a keen sense of smell. In less than a year, he has paid back the money he paid for the car, and now he can earn as much as he wants. In some busy months, Myron can make more money in a month than his father, and much more.
This is why things are rare and valuable. After all, not everyone can afford a truck. Most of the people who can afford trucks are capitalists. They would rather spend a little more money to buy a car than a truck.
What
What about transportation? Of course, let the workers carry the transportation, otherwise we would feed them, give them something to drink every day, and give them money, just to support them as parents? Of course we have to ask them to work!
Two thousand five hundred boxes of wine cannot be finished in one go. This is only the first time. All the members of the hometown association came here to help Du Lin move and store the wine. Dulin gave them a decent salary and gave them the courage to hold their heads high, so they must do this for Dulin, even if it is something they are not happy to do.
Mailon leaned on the carriage, looked at the big man beside him, and patted his hairy arm, "Brother, lend me a hand!"
Graf rolled his eyes and took out a match, slid it on Myron's pants, and it lit with a bang. Myron covered the match with his hands and moved it closer, took two puffs in his mouth, exhaled some smoke, and then took the shot. Patting Graf's hand, the latter casually threw the match on the ground and crushed it with his foot.
"I said, why should the warehouse be built outside the city? The roads are not very good. Wouldn't it be troublesome to transport it out in the future?" Mailon, who has been running goods in the city, was very surprised by Dulin's choice. The city The roads outside are mostly gravel and dirt, which is fine when the weather is fine, but once it rains, it can be fatal. Moreover, the rent of warehouses in the city is not very expensive. Tenel is a small city after all. Now a warehouse of 100 square meters only costs 50 yuan a day and only 15 yuan a month.
Graf didn't know how to answer, and he didn't say anything nonsense. He rolled his eyes again and remained silent, staring at the boys carrying the goods.
"Because winter is coming soon." At this time, a voice came from the other side of the truck, and it was Dulin's voice. He walked over to Graf and glanced at Graf. The latter immediately walked to the back of the truck with the group of boys and began to move the goods. "Winter will come in three months. These drinks will be destroyed when stored at low temperatures." I haven’t read a book about some of these things, so I don’t know much about them. In short, if they are too cold, the taste of these wines will change in some bad ways.”
"So I bought this farm and built a special storage room just to keep the wine safe through the winter and welcome the carnival in the coming year."
To be honest, Myron didn't understand it, and he couldn't explain clearly what the changes were. Who knows what they were. But he still had an "I see" expression on his face and kept nodding as Du Lin spoke, because he had read a book and at least had a higher education than the people here. So he must show himself to be a cultured person and not illiterate.
"How are you? Is the traffic condition on the road okay?" After Dulin finished talking nonsense that he didn't even know what it was, he smiled and patted Myron on the shoulder. Myron was not very used to being treated by his little guy. He patted himself on the shoulder, but he also knew very well that this guy was a rich man. He and his father may have many differences in life, but they are surprisingly consistent in their treatment of wealthy people, that is, they must not offend.
Mailon took two puffs on his cigarette before throwing it to the ground and standing up straight. "The road is not bad, sir. At least it's not too bumpy or slippery. It's just a little far away."
Hire Myron to transport these drinks and pay him eighty cents for one trip. This price is quite reasonable, and it is better than more frequent trips. It takes about seven to eight trips to get it all done, and it costs at least five yuan. It's not easy to earn five yuan these days. The coolies at the station only earn eight or nine yuan a month. Only a strong man like Graf can earn more than ten yuan.
Dulin's eyes soon fell on the truck. He touched the cabin of the truck. The cold metal texture made him feel comfortable to touch. "How much does a truck like this cost now?"
"Five hundred and fifty yuan, and it's not a one-time investment." Du Lin folded his hands and tilted his head slightly, allowing Mailon to continue, "For example, let's take maintenance. It needs to be repaired at least twice a year. Replacement Some parts and so on, the total cost is about fifteen yuan, and a standard Yaojing can make this car travel six thousand kilometers, which is thirty-two yuan."
"Based on the mileage I travel back and forth every day, it is about 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers a month. In other words, on average, it basically costs two yuan for three days, and more than one hundred yuan a year. Add in and out It costs nearly two hundred yuan every year!”
When he said this, Mailon was obviously a little surprised. He originally thought that after buying this big guy for 550 yuan, he wouldn't need to spend any more, but he didn't expect that he would spend more than 200 yuan on him every year, and this part was all. It comes from his profits. If only there were no such expenses, he would have moved out and lived on his own long ago.
Du Lin nodded, already knowing in his mind. As the high-strength wine after distillation is filled, transportation must also be scheduled. It is absolutely impossible to always rely on others for transportation. Firstly, the transportation fee takes up a considerable part of the cost. Secondly, using others to transport will inevitably expose some things that cannot be exposed, so he has decided to buy a car.
Buying a car was a big deal for Dulin in the past, and a truck worth 550 yuan was simply astronomical. But for Du Lin now, this is not a big expense. If the cost is not included, it is only fifty-five bottles of high-quality wine.
The cars in this world were different from the cars in the world in his dream. The cars in that world were fed by something called gasoline, while the cars in this world were fed by crystal.
After placing the standard unit of obsidian into the power room, close the window of the power room. Whenever a vehicle needs to be used, catalysts are poured into the power chamber. When these catalysts come into contact with obsidian, they will immediately react violently, generate high temperature and high pressure, and vaporize the catalyst, forming a huge and continuous internal pressure. This huge internal pressure is enough to push the truck's gear set to rotate and move the vehicle forward.
I have to say that this is a very magical thing, and what is even more magical is that before obsidian was discovered to be able to generate heat energy and release almost endless pressure, it was just a decorative material. This kind of obsidian crystal is milky white and transparent in appearance, very classy and stylish, and is mostly used for high-end decoration. Later, a man who was said to have "changed the course of the world" actually made a toilet out of large pieces of obsidian.
The first time he sat on the crystal toilet to defecate, human technology had taken a big step forward.
Oh, and thank you for his scalded ass and balls. He paid a heavy price for the progress of all mankind.
This father of motivation has also been included in the textbook. It was originally supposed to be a very serious course, but I don’t know why the students can’t control themselves when studying this text. They always have to laugh out loud, which affects the order of the class. .
There are also some less serious scholars who call this great discovery a "stock market crash"!
