This wharf is not only a national highway ferry, but also a wharf used by the fishery and maritime departments, as well as a freight and passenger wharf. It is the busiest among the dozen or so wharves in the port, just next to the seaside park.
Transit vehicles can not only save nearly 100 kilometers of distance by transitioning here, but also avoid three county-level toll stations, so they all choose to transition from here across the harbor and head east.
There were too many toll stations in the 1990s, and with the accelerated construction of transportation networks, there will only be more and more. Take national highway toll stations as an example. Each county-level administrative district will set up one. You pay along the way, and highways
Still a rarity.
Sea transportation is cheaper, so many trucks choose to unload here and switch from land transportation to sea transportation. The current port loading and unloading machinery is still very backward, and it mainly relies on manpower to load and unload goods, especially small goods.
Chen Jiahao did not go in, but stood on the embankment on one side of the pier and waited.
Yao looked at the situation at the dock from a distance. There was a row of trucks parked in front of the freight trestle, and porters were moving the goods on the trucks to the freighters like ants.
These are all cargo ships running domestic routes. Some go all the way north along the coastline, unload and load goods at designated ports, and then continue to the next stop. Some go directly to the destination port, and then go straight to the destination port after loading the goods.
, and then continue to perform the next round of transportation tasks.
When Yao Yuan arrived, Chen Jiahao pointed to the trestle and said, "He is repairing cars in a repair shop during the day and transporting them here at night. He must be there. Do you want to go there?"
Yao Yuan looked at the porters who were bent over by the goods and shook his head slightly.
Lin Xibei has a very strong self-esteem. If his classmates knew that he was doing hard work to make money, he didn't know what they would think.
Chen Jiahao said in a low voice, "I met him in Dahuanghuang a few days ago. He was wearing jeans, sneakers and a flowered shirt, and had hair wax on his hair. He paid him four to five hundred yuan. I thought I had mistaken him."
Noticing Yao Yuan looking over, Chen Jiahao quickly explained, "Xiao Qi likes to watch shows, but we don't go there often, we just go there on weekends."
Seeing that Yao Yuan was silent, Chen Jiahao added, "While chatting, I asked him what he was doing recently. He said that he was doing some business with a boss and didn't make much money. He could make two or three hundred yuan a day. My family is not in a farm.
The family home is close to the pier. I accidentally saw him when I was passing by, and then I found out that he was working as a coolie at the pier."
Yao Yuan only believed half of this. Chen Jiahao and Lin Xibei had a conflict. At that time, they almost got into a fight over the bill for Da Brilliance.
Basically, it is certain that Chen Jiahao was angry when he saw Lin Beiyi's lavish spending and then followed Lin Beiyi, only then discovered Lin Beiyi's secret.
Yao Yuan asked, "What else do you know?"
Chen Jiahao was stunned, hesitated, and sighed, "I know many people can't bear to see me as a villain, but I didn't do anything. My family's conditions are relatively better, and my parents bought them for me."
A motorcycle, with this condition, I can't forcefully lower my living standard to accommodate others, right?"
Yao Yuan looked at Chen Jiahao in slight surprise and nodded slightly, "Your opinion is quite objective."
"That's the way it is. Of course, I'm not afraid to tell the truth. I used to look down on the poor. For this reason, I even...offended you. Only after knowing that you have done such a big business outside, I realized that there are people outside. The key is
You are in such a big business, yet you are so low-key and treat everyone the same, which I cannot do, so I admire you very much."
Chen Jiahao spoke his mind, shook his head helplessly and said, "But Lin Beixi is different. I don't want to compare with him. I also know a little about the situation in his family, so I gave him a few words of advice, saying that he should go less to Dahuanghuang. Then
The cost of growing a place is too high, it’s not necessary, don’t you think so? He felt that I looked down on him, and later I heard from Xiaoqi that he went there more frequently.”
"Actually, everyone knows that he was fascinated by Fang Xiaohui. He lost his mind and all the money he had worked so hard to earn was wasted all because of Fang Xiaohui. Xiaoqi actually said something about Fang Xiaohui. It's a pity that she
He mistook his good intentions for donkey's liver, but instead scolded Xiaoqi for being nosy, saying that Xiaoqi was jealous of her and couldn't see that she was living a good life. What kind of people are these?"
"There is also the conflict between him and Qi Nan. If you ask me, the conflict between the two of them was basically provoked by Fang Xiaohui on purpose. It's up to you, Fang Xiaohui, who you want to have sex with, but you can't hang two people at the same time. Look,
When conflicts arise, they not only ignore them, but are happy to see the outcome. This is not to say that they are treading two boats!"
Chen Jiahao was very angry. After saying something, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it before remembering to give it to Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan pushed it away and said, "I understand, you go back first, I'll wait for him here."
"Well, then I'll go back to save everyone from embarrassment." Chen Jiahao said.
"Go back, I'll treat you to a drink sometime." Yao Yuan nodded.
After Chen Jiahao left, Yao Yuan walked closer to the dock and saw clearly the appearance of the porter under the light. After searching for a while, he found Lin Beiyi, wearing coarse clothes with a piece of cloth tied behind his neck.
It's dust.
What is being transported is cement, a bag of one hundred kilograms.
Seeing a few workers over there taking a break and smoking, Yao Yuan walked over and took out Soft China and handed it out, finding an excuse to chat with them.
"Boss, if you have a lot of goods, we can give you a cheaper price. It only costs 20 cents a bag. If there is too little, we can't make it."
"I can't do big things. It takes a long time to move big things, so I need to pay you more. Or you can just pay us on a daily basis, and you can move anything."
"They will finish unloading this batch quickly. If you are in a hurry to hire people, we can get a dozen people over for you later."
…
They all told Yao Yuan all the information he needed.
Carrying cement costs two or three cents a bag, and you can get twenty or thirty yuan for carrying a hundred bags. After a batch of goods, each person can get more than a hundred bags, which is not low. If you compare it horizontally, it is even better than that of many workers.
The wages are both high, but the method and intensity of labor are completely different.
This kind of income is not enough to support Lin Xibei's spending at the Dahuanghuang Nightclub. Even if he works part-time in a repair shop during the day, he can't sustain it.
There is something else going on here, and Chen Jiahao probably won't hide it, and it's very possible that he doesn't know about it either.
Yao Yuan puffed away another round of cigarettes, turned around and returned to the car, waiting patiently for Lin Beiyi to get off work.
If Qiu Xiaomei is a junior green tea, then Fang Xiaohui, who has knowledge, emotional intelligence and is receiving higher education, is an intermediate green tea. Qiu Xiaomei's rank can only deal with Lin Wei, who is extremely naive about the love between men and women, but cannot deal with him.
People like Qi Nan and Lin Beiwei have begun to form a concept of love.
Fang Xiaohui is different. He understands the thoughts of half-baked men in college, and even the thoughts of adult men in society. He uses different methods to attack different men's weaknesses accurately. Lin Beixi, who has fallen in love with her, is attracted by her.
Have fun playing around.
As for Qi Nan, Yao Yuan didn't think he would be poisoned by Fang Xiaohui's gentleness.
