I pulled someone over, and that person made me lose 300,000 yuan.
In the winter of 1992, the cotton spinning mill closed down and I was laid off. He borrowed money to buy a second-hand Xiali and became a taxi driver. The first order was from a debt evader. I helped him choose a direction, and he paid me back 50 yuan - the most valuable 50 yuan I have ever earned in my life.
Later I attracted many people. I didn't buy the cigarette smuggling boss from Wenzhou, but he gave me the largest source of customers. I heard about the information gap among Hong Kong businessmen who talked about multi-million business deals with Big Brother, and one piece of information was sold for a thousand yuan. The woman who had been collecting debts for three years became my partner. A veteran with one hand helped my company pass the transportation management office. And the person who lost 300,000 yuan to me - when he took my car for the first time, I had no idea who he was.
In thirty years, one car turned into twenty, and from twenty back to one. The meter jumped from 3 yuan to 3 yuan, making a big circle. Online ride-hailing is here, and the platform requires a commission, and if the rating is lower than 4.5, The ride will be suspended. I formed the "Brother Alliance" to work with them. My son joined a taxi-hailing software company and said he wanted to change the industry - and I became the one who was changed.
But I didn't stop. The steering wheel is in your hands, and the car is on the road. Where the road is, the people are there.
This book is not my story, it's the stories of the people I helped. They get on as one person and get off as another person. Me too.
