Lao Zhan small note:
Today, I reprint an article by Xin Lingjun.
Who is Xin Lingjun?
A friend of mine is very young and very talented.
That day, I took a taxi home and left my schoolbag in the car!
There are computers, ID cards , social security cards , bank cards, data cables, books, business cards...
Especially the computer, which contains this gentleman's years of hard work (database).
didn’t remember the license plate, didn’t leave a receipt, and he couldn’t catch up...
What should I do?
The driver is not stupid, and this gentleman is not stupid either,
So, a story slowly unfolds...
If it were you, would you do this?
Can your schoolbag be returned intact?

I want to tell a story.
is related to a taxi driver 6 years ago.
Winter night. I returned to Beijing from Yiwu and took a taxi home from the airport. After getting off the car for a few seconds, I suddenly realized: my schoolbag was left on the car.
In the bag, there are computers, ID cards, social security cards, bank cards, passes, keys, data cables, books, business cards... especially the computer, which contains my years of hard work (database).
didn’t remember the license plate and didn’t leave any receipt. Can't catch up. Many friends helped me find a way, which was very heart-warming. I called 110, 96106 (Beijing taxi calling number), 12328 (Transportation Service Supervision). The latter gave me two numbers, 62041111 (Public Security Bureau lost and found) and 65289999 ( Beijing Traffic Station traffic phone number, pay 400 yuan advertising fee, can help find the property). I didn’t call 12345. At that time, it wasn’t as easy to use as it is now.
’s most reliable suggestion: check monitoring. The night shift in real estate is very dedicated. The car was found, but the license plate could not be seen clearly. "The camera was installed more than ten years ago" and has limited clarity at night. In addition, when the car lights were turned on, the white light was dazzling and covered the license plate.
The next day, major progress was made. After hard work, the property management company identified 4 out of the 6 digits of the license plate number, and the second and third digits were too vague. At that time, there were about 67,000 vehicles for rent in Beijing. If you know 4 digits, you have a rough idea. However, according to the permutation and combination of numbers and letters, there are still hundreds of possibilities.
A friend suggested: ask at the airport. He asked me for the phone number of the video surveillance department at the airport. I sent the other party basic information: terminal, taxi time.
Not long after, a girl from the T2 terminal (taxi) dispatch room called: The specific vehicle was found. I said I took a taxi at "around 9:11" in the evening, and she said after checking, it was "9:10". There was a taxi driver who said he went to " Wangjing " and it was a short distance. I said, yes, what the master said was "go to Wangjing".
explains the background: When renting a car at the airport, you will be asked where you are going when you leave the station. If it's a short trip (less money), you can go back to the airport that night. If it's a long way (and a lot of money), I'll stop coming to the airport that night.
is actually a long distance call for me. The driver lied about "going to Wangjing" because it was a short trip and he wanted to make another trip.
The girl at the airport told me the license plate number. The first and last three digits were exactly the same as those found by the property management company. Soon, another friend sent a message. One of the friends located a taxi through another method. The license plate number was exactly the same as that found by the T2 dispatch room.
is it.
Which company does it belong to? A friend dialed 12328 to find out the rental company and phone number of the vehicle.The dispatch room of T2 terminal also dialed the number of this company. Then, the driver himself was found.
I would like to give special praise to the girl in the dispatch room. She is very attentive and gave very pertinent suggestions during several phone calls. She helped me contact the driver. Unexpectedly, but seemingly acceptable: the driver said he didn’t see the school bag. And I confirmed that I would put it in the passenger seat.
She said that if you confirm and he doesn't admit it, you can say that you want to file a complaint against him. She said that she could also call me several departments that deal with such disputes. Clearly, she has experience.
She suggested that I call the driver myself to communicate more directly.
I called the driver. He still insisted that he didn't see the schoolbag. He hinted that someone in the car might have taken it away without his knowledge. Theoretically this possibility exists. But it's almost impossible. The schoolbag is so big that anyone sitting in the passenger seat will find something foreign under their feet and ask the driver what it is.
He then said, did you carry it yourself and forget about it? I insisted that I did not carry him away (surveillance video confirmed this). He asked again, did you put it in the trunk?
When I heard it, there was something interesting. He mentioned the possibility of a trunk, rather than outright dismissing it.
I said, please help me ask your class (taxi works in two shifts) to see if the school bag is stuck somewhere. He agreed to ask. I know, it's even more fun.
He said he wanted to take a look and call me back. At this time, it’s psychological warfare.
The second call came. He also insisted that there was no schoolbag. He said that he never covets others, and last time he even sent a bag to someone in a certain place. He said that if you don't believe me, you can sue me. I am innocent and you are not afraid. You can check and monitor me.
I remind myself that cannot be overthrown by , and we must save face for the other party. He insisted many times that he did not see the bag, but if he suddenly changed his story and said there was a bag, or I forced him to admit that he had a bag, it would be difficult to overcome this psychological barrier of appearance. This is normal human psychology.
I don’t want to embarrass anyone. I want to get my bag safely as soon as possible. I managed to get the other person to step down.
Later, I realized: he may need money.
I sent a text message and told him: Please help me take a closer look to see if it is stuck somewhere. This package is extremely important. Found it, thanks for the fee (careless).
As I wished, I received a call from the driver again. This time, he said, he found the bag.
He asked me what color it was, and I said black. He said it was wrong, it was gray. My heart skipped a beat and I thought, it’s not my bag. I also thought that maybe his psychological and face issues have not passed yet and are still going around in circles.
He couldn't fully admit it easily. Make a fuss about color to cover up psychological and face pressure.
He said he would send it to me. We made an appointment to meet at the drop off point. When he arrived, he called me. The trunk is open. Said, this package has been in the trunk for a long time (since it has been a long time, why has it never been handed over to the company?) . I thumped again. My bag was just lost yesterday. It couldn’t have been a long time. Could it be that it wasn’t my bag and I lost it? I'm uneasy.
When he pulled out the bag, I confirmed: Yes, it's mine.
I will tell you what is in the bag one by one. He said, I have never opened it. In case it is not yours, open it and take a look. He pulled away and I saw the soft yellow leather case for my computer.
I did not break my promise and paid a thank you fee. He accepted it gladly.
He said, look at the gray one, how can you say black.
But that bag is obviously black. is pure black.
At this time, it is normal for people to suffer from color blindness .
I know, the driver knows that I know he is lying to me. I don't want to pursue this.
Sometimes, people occasionally get distracted morally.
The human heart is like a seesaw. It is difficult to balance. If the pressure is slightly greater on one side, it will slide over. Especially when facing temptation.
In recent years, the taxi business has been affected by online ride-hailing. If he happens to have children to raise at home, a house to pay for, great financial pressure, and occasional moral distractions, that's understandable.
I hope that he will have a better income and a better life in the future. The thank you fee I gave was quite a lot, but it was just a drop in the bucket to improve my life in Beijing. The value of the items in my bag far exceeds the thank you fee.
I am very relieved that the package is back.
This negotiation did not collapse and was relatively smooth (the jade was returned to Zhao intact the next afternoon). One very important reason was: pretending to be stupid. Of course, we all know that the other person is not stupid.
I am also struggling whether to write down my experience in negotiating with the driver. Let's write it down, I hope it will be useful to people who will lose packets in and in the future (of course, I hope everyone will not lose packets and be less embarrassed).
But I don’t want everyone to pay attention to the driver himself. I forgot who he was, which company he was in, and his license plate number. Remembering is a burden.
For many of us, may have its shadow . Sometimes in this way, sometimes in another way.
Later, I stood on the side of the road, called 96158, and praised the dispatcher and others at Terminal 2.
thanked many people again.
There are some things (people),
we cherish them more,
don’t lose them again. Some
can be retrieved, but some
cannot.
(Looking through Moments, I found the record of packet loss 6 years ago. I also saw a few lines written a few days after the packet loss, as above. Now is the "future" at that time. Has the vision been realized? Partially. A lot. Things and situations are changing faster than you can imagine. I wish you all dreams to come true )
