The vehicle inspection lasted all day, and Liu sent a big red envelope to every master.

There are no problems with the three major parts of these cars, only a few cars have some scratches.

At this time, Xia Li's industrial capacity was limited, and the main internal parts were basically imported. That's why Lu Ye was so concerned about these main parts.

After signing the receipt, these cars completely belong to Lu Ye.

As for the rest of the vehicle registration work, uniform painting of taxis and other procedures, Liu and the company's employees will naturally handle it.

And Lu Ye also has his own work to do, which is to recruit taxi lessees.

The car now exists, but there is no driver yet.

There are two business models for taxis. The first is a taxi company that provides vehicles and then signs a cooperation agreement with the taxi driver. The driver pays a certain amount of rent every month, rents the vehicle from the company, and then rents the vehicle himself.

It is the taxi driver's own business whether he earns more or less by working outside, and the company is not responsible.

The second model, which is also the main profit point for taxi companies, is to sell taxi operation procedures to other people.

Private vehicles are not allowed to operate, that is, they are not allowed to carry passengers without permission.

If an individual wants to rent a taxi, he or she must rent or purchase a taxi from a taxi company. Only after holding legal operating procedures can his or her vehicle be uniformly painted in accordance with relevant regulations.

Only after the taxi has the correct color and is installed with the corresponding equipment can it be operated on the road.

The number of taxi operation procedures in each city is determined based on the total population of the city, and cannot be increased at will. For example, in a general prefecture-level city, the total population is about 700,000 to 800,000.

The urban population is approximately three to four hundred thousand.

The upper limit of the number of taxis it operates is about 1,000.

This means that these thousand taxi operation procedures will basically not increase no matter what in the future.

As a result, taxi operation procedures become extremely valuable, and there is huge room for appreciation.

For example, in later generations, in some small cities, the price of a taxi with operating procedures was often around four to five million, which even far exceeded the local housing prices.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Ye took advantage of the opportunity to improve Luancheng's transportation and intervened in this industry in advance.

The taxi company is very busy here.

Lu Ye was sitting in Zhang Fei's original office, ever since the company announced the open recruitment of taxi drivers on Luancheng TV station.

The taxi company's office suddenly became one of the busiest places in the city.

Lu Ye also welcomed a very special guest, Yang Zhongxing, captain of the Xinli Coal Mine Vehicle Transport Team.

Back in those days, Lu Ye also collaborated with Yang Zhongxing.

At that time, Lu Ye wanted to start a transportation company, but because he didn't have a car, he thought of cooperating with Yang Zhongxing, the captain of the mining fleet, to use the empty trucks of the fleet to help him pull goods.

Everything was fine at first, but Zhang Fei destroyed it halfway. From then on, Lu Yezai and Yang Zhongxing had no contact.

Yang Zhonghua, carrying two sticks of Chinese cigarettes and two bottles of Maotai liquor, gently knocked on the door of Lu Ye's office.

Lu Ye looked up at the door and saw Yang Zhongxing, with a smile on his face and said: "Uncle Yang, why are you here? Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

"Hey, I came here uninvited, so I didn't cause any trouble to you."

Yang Zhongxing smiled awkwardly and walked in carrying his things.

At this time, Lu Ye was no longer the young man who bowed to him in the past. Yang Zhongxing had seen Lu Ye appear on the local TV station in Luancheng more than once. When the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the opening of the Hongxing Village greenhouse base, Lu Ye and

Luancheng's municipal party committee secretaries stood side by side.

When the foundation stone of Luancheng's agricultural wholesale market was laid, Lu Ye also stood with the municipal Party committee secretary.

There is a huge gap between the two of them now. Yang Zhongxing did not dare to make excuses in front of Lu Ye. He spoke very politely, even a little humble.

"Look what you said, Uncle Yang, it's no trouble or not. I'm not happy that you can come to my place. It's been a long time since we last met."

"Drink tea, Uncle Yang."

Lu Ye stood up and poured Yang Zhongxing a cup of tea.

"How are you doing recently?" Lu Ye asked casually.

Yang Zhongxing held the tea cup with both hands, with an unspeakable expression on his face.

"I came out of the motorcade." Yang Zhongxing said with some frustration.

When Lu Ye heard this, he was a little surprised. Yang Zhongxing was a person with a delicate mind and a well-rounded person. He was very comfortable with both superiors and inferiors.

But looking at Yang Zhongxing now, his whole person is really different. He has obviously lost his previous vitality, and now he is more decadent.

"Did something happen?" Lu Ye asked.

"Hey, isn't it because we have no one? A deputy mine manager at the mine arranged for his nephew to be in the transportation team and asked me to treat his nephew well. I didn't think much about it, but after a while, he

After they found out about me reselling diesel, the deputy mine manager fired me directly, and then his nephew naturally took my place."

"I have been accused of stealing oil. When I went to other mines, people didn't dare to use me. It's been more than a year now."

Yang Zhongxing sighed and told his story.

He really stole oil, but in his opinion, it was not a big deal at all.

If Luancheng is so big, which mine has a transport fleet, and which transport fleet captain does not steal oil? Which driver does not steal oil?

Yang Zhongxing can say with certainty, no!

Everyone is well aware of this kind of thing, and the mine leaders usually don't pursue it and always turn a blind eye.

Taking this matter as a reason to arrest him, Yang Zhongxing felt extremely unconvinced.

But the situation was stronger than the person. He was a dignified deputy mine manager. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless, his arms could not twist his thigh.

Lu Ye looked at Yang Zhongxing and said nothing.

Yang Zhongxing raised his hand and placed the gifts he had brought on the table, and said, "I remember you smoke too, and I don't know what kind of cigarettes you usually like to smoke, so I just brought two of them, don't mind it.

"

"Uncle Yang, we have known each other for such a long time, and you are my dad's old colleague. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to argue about this between us."

Lu Ye reached out and pushed back the cigarettes and wine that Yang Zhongxing handed over, and said softly.

Seeing this, Yang Zhongxing stopped hiding and looked at Lu Ye and said, "I saw on TV that you are recruiting people to contract taxis. I want to rent a taxi."

When Lu Ye heard Yang Zhongxing's words, he didn't say anything. He just reached out and picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed a number.

"Come to my office."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Soon, a clerk walked in outside Lu Ye's office door.

"Mr. Lu, are you looking for me?"

"How is the taxi driver recruitment going?" Lu Ye asked casually.

"There are more than 150 applicants received so far, and more than 80 people have been confirmed. There are still more than a dozen vehicles, and contractors are being selected." The clerk answered.

"Leave a place for him and waive his first year's rent," Lu Ye said.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll make arrangements right away." The clerk responded crisply.

When Yang Zhongxing heard this, he stood up immediately and said hurriedly: "No, no, I have to pay the rent. I am satisfied if you can give me a car. Mr. Lu, you don't have to do this."

"Uncle Yang, please don't be polite to me. This matter doesn't mean anything to me now. Our relationship for so many years deserves it."

Lu Ye helped Yang Zhongxing, asked him to sit down, and said softly.

At this time, Yang Zhongxing had mixed feelings in his heart. He never thought that the child who boasted in front of him back then would be able to achieve what he is today.
