" is unemployed, so I go to run three rounds."
A joke that Daqiang often tells to his friends, but unexpectedly it will come true in 2022. At the age of 38, he was unemployed.
The winter in Henan is surprisingly cold. Daqiang wore a thick down jacket and wrapped two thick knee pads on his legs. He braved the cold wind and shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city.
Daqiang, who is just a newcomer, doesn’t know how deep the water is for three rounds, but he just takes it for granted to choose areas with a relatively large flow of people to wait for guests. However, Daqiang walked around nearby shopping malls and office buildings for several times, and it was noon, but Daqiang didn't even get a single customer.
worried that his wife would ask, "How is the business?" Daqiang didn't even dare to go home for lunch, so he had to buy two buns from a small vendor on the roadside, and asked the boss for a bowl of boiled water, swallowed it whole, and settled the lunch for 3 yuan.
The streets are deserted, and the boss selling buns has no business, so he started chatting with Daqiang with his sleeves on his back. The boss who sells buns said to Daqiang: "You can't wait here? Those who come to work or buy things, either drive by themselves or ride an electric bike by themselves, who would take your tricycle?"
"You have to go to the station to wait, there are many talents." Daqiang thought that it was true, so he rode a tricycle to the station. But the station not only has buses and taxis, but also many people who run three-wheelers like Daqiang are waiting there.
Every time a car comes over, those who run three-wheelers will ask the passengers if they want to take the three-wheelers, and these three-wheelers line up in an orderly manner. Whoever ranks first will leave first. Daqiang couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.
After observing for a while, Daqiang rode a tricycle to a grandfather who was also running tricycle, handed a cigarette over, and got close to the old man. After hearing the old man's words, Daqiang learned about these tricks of running three rounds.
uncle said: "These three-rounders are waiting for customers here, and everyone is familiar with each other. In order to avoid catching up with each other, this queuing rule has been formed." Daqiang couldn't help but wonder, there are people in the world, and every industry has rules that belong to each industry.
"How to join you? I just started running." Daqiang handed over another cigarette and asked with a hopeful question on his electric car. The old man said in a daze: "We all come out to make a living. If you go buy a bottle of water by one person, we will be our own people in the future."
Daqiang ran to the supermarket to carry a box of water and sent it to everyone enthusiastically. A car came again, and Daqiang lined up. Although it was the last one, fortunately there were more people getting out of the car, and Daqiang also successfully pulled a passenger and earned 20 yuan.
After sending the passengers back to the station, Daqiang continued to chat with the old man. Listening to the old man telling the interesting things about running three rounds as if he were aware of them, Daqiang also roughly figured out the price and precautions for running three rounds.
running three-round price is not fixed. If you see people serving, you usually carry a bag. This kind of luggage is relatively small, and the distance is close to 10 yuan; if the distance is more than 2 kilometers, the distance is between 5 kilometers, and if it is more than 5 kilometers, it is 30 yuan, or 40 yuan, you can just need it.
If you want to go to the county from the city, the nearby ones cost 60 yuan and the far ones cost 80 yuan. For such a person, you must collect the money first. After collecting the money, pull him to run a while. When you meet the taxi in the county he is going to, just transfer him to the taxi. This kind of person is the most profitable. If you transfer to a taxi, you only need to give a taxi 20 yuan or 30 yuan.
The first day of the three-round runs passed like this. Although Daqiang insisted on running until 10 o'clock in the evening and waited for the last bus, he only ran for 80 yuan a day.
Daqiang was not discouraged. The next day, he followed the common sense of running three rounds taught by the old man and started to attract customers. In one morning, Daqiang ran for more than 100 yuan, but he was not happy. He felt that he was uneasy to make money.
There were two guests, and Daqiang was the most impressed. The place where a guest went was about 500 meters away from the station. Daqiang charged him 15 yuan; there was also a guest who went to the county to do business. Daqiang transferred it to a taxi just after walking a few steps and made 40 yuan directly.
Although I was uneasy, I thought about the fact that I was unemployed, and there were elderly people above and young people below. The family was waiting for dinner. Daqiang instantly suppressed this guilt in his heart and continued to run for three rounds.
Today, Daqiang has been running three rounds for a month. When the work was over at night, Daqiang calculated the income. When he saw 10895 jumping out of the calculator, Daqiang was stunned. This was twice the monthly salary he had when he was working, and he was not restricted when he ran three rounds. big strong never dreamed that he could make money by running three rounds so much, and he could earn more than 300 a day on average.
Seeing that Daqiang could make so much money in a month, his wife was very happy. She even went to the vegetable market to buy two kilograms of ribs, and opened a bottle of wine for Daqiang to drink for the first time. But Daqiang couldn't be happy at all.
Time passes by, Daqiang has been running three rounds for half a year, and he is left in every corner of the city. He is becoming more and more familiar with the price he and the customers are getting more and more familiar with him, and he is becoming more and more aware of people serving. But there are also more difficult customers.
That night, when Daqiang was about to finish work and go home, a girl came over with a bulky suitcase and asked him how much it would cost to go to Aike's apartment? It costs 20 yuan to open your mouth. I thought the girl wanted to bargain, but the girl agreed immediately.
In less than five minutes, Daqiang arrived downstairs of Aike's apartment. The girl angrily quarreled Daqiang: "Why are you so cheating? Five minutes, less than 500 meters, you ask me for 20 yuan? Just five yuan, do you want love?"
The girl took out five yuan from her pocket and directly slapped Daqiang. Looking at this girl who was about the same age as her daughter, Daqiang was silent and felt even deeper in his heart. He was thinking: "What if his daughter was cheated by people in another place?"
Daqiang was unwilling to cheat people. Every time he cheated, he would feel guilty for a long time. But if he doesn't cheat people, it will be difficult for him to make so much money. Daqiang feels guilty every day while cheating people. He couldn't even tell what he was feeling.
But one thing is certain, that is, he needs a job with a monthly income of about 10,000 yuan to support his family.
