Chapter 221 Taxi
The bus drove directly to the school, so Chen Mingluo and the others could only solve the problem of going home by themselves.
This is the time for dinner, and Chen Mingluo was embarrassed to let the bus pick him up. The vehicle on the company happened to go on a mission again. After thinking for a while, he decided to take a taxi, send Xiao Xiao back first, and then send Liu Qingmei back, and then go home by himself.
After he sent both girls back, the driver smiled and said to him, "Young man is amazing, both girlfriends are so beautiful."
"Just classmate, how can I afford to raise two girlfriends-" Chen Mingluo said suddenly.
"It may not be—" the driver was bored and said with a smile, "The relationship between classmates and classmates is also close and far away. When I saw two girls looking at you, my eyes were different."
Chen Mingluo immediately smiled and said, "I said, uncle, you are not attentive to drive, and you still have the energy to pay attention to this?"
"Just this road, I can drive the car back with my eyes closed-" the driver boasted.
"If you work in a taxi, your income should be pretty good, right?" Chen Mingluo asked casually.
"We can't make a lot of money, and the income we earns from being an individual is OK. If we work for the company, we will not be optimistic. Most of the money will be called to the company to hack." The driver was very unhappy when he mentioned this.
In fact, the taxi industry has many problems and is very conflicted and has a long history, which is closely related to the development history of the taxi industry.
Take Beijing, which had the earliest and fastest development of the taxi industry, before 1984, the taxi industry was basically a unified era of planning and allocation. In 1952, there were only two or three companies, including the Capital Automobile Rental Company, named by Premier Zhou himself, who operated thousands of cars. At that time, they called a taxi by phone, and there were very few taxis on the street.
It was only after 1985 that the capital city established a number of state-owned and collective taxi companies. At the peak, there were more than 200 taxi companies in the city, operating more than 10,000 taxis, most of which were imported cars such as Crown and Nissan, which were called the era of rickshaw rental.
In 1992, in order to effectively solve the problem of difficulty in riding, Beijing proposed a goal of parking five taxis, and launched a taxi industry in a hurry. During this time, even primary schools and kindergartens set up taxi companies. By 1994, there were more than 1,400 taxi companies in the city, with as many as 60,000 taxis.
This stage is also the second climax of the development of the taxi industry in Beijing. At this stage, most of the taxi companies established have approval documents for taxi management and licenses, everything will be fine. The driver will come to the door to invest in the purchase of cars. If it operates independently, all operating expenses will be managed by the driver themselves, and they will pay management fees of about 800 to 1,500 yuan per month.
However, starting this year, the situation in Beijing has changed a little. In order to control the total number of taxis and clear the problem of taxis selling drivers in disguise, the Taxi Administration proposed that all taxis purchased by drivers will be taken back by the company, and issued a taxi algorithm that makes many taxis gritted their teeth.
After liquidation and rectification, it turned out that taxis that were actually purchased by taxi drivers and had actual property rights became the property of the rental company. In addition, there was another major change, the monthly car share was unified from about one thousand yuan to more than four or five thousand yuan, and the company's profits were even greater.
The driver still has to contribute funds now, but the name has changed from the financing of that year and the purchase of the car to the risk deposit, deposit, and contract. Even if the driver pays more money, the two parties are just a relationship between the worker and the boss, not the original cooperative relationship.
It can be said that before 1992, the relationship between a taxi driver and a company was the pure labor-management relationship in which you paid your salary, and the relationship between a driver and a car was just like a worker and a equipment. But after 1992 to around this year, in most taxi companies, drivers were real investors, but the company was the owner.
Just from bicycles, the driver earns more than the company, and both parties can basically be at peace.
But now, companies as owners have begun to forcefully collect cars from drivers. Drivers who become employees after being collected still have to pay 30,000 to 50,000 or even more as risk deposits.
With the same investment and independent operation, the driver's original generous interests were obviously cut off by the company, so the conflict between the two parties was intensified. A group of merged small companies only focused on selling the company's taxi and operating rights and ignored the driver's rights. The conflict between the taxi driver and the company entered a white-hot stage.
It is worth mentioning that this driver is doing individual operations, so the situation is naturally different.
He said that he was an individual taxi driver in Linling District and one of the first batch of individual taxi drivers in Mingyang City. He applied for the individual taxi drivers last year.
The taxi driver said, "The conditions at that time were to have a car, two were to have a driver's license, three were to have a laid-off re-employment certificate issued by the street, and then go to the Municipal Taxi Administration to apply for an approval document for individual passenger taxi business. The core of the matter was this approval document, which is the taxi franchise."
After obtaining the approval document last year, he went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Local Taxation Bureau to obtain business licenses and tax registration certificates, so he became an individual taxi owner with legal procedures.
Chen Mingluo chatted with him casually, and probably had a clear idea.
Judging from the driver's personal experience, it cost nearly 70,000 yuan to buy a Xiali car, and the investment in operating supporting facilities was 2,440, including 1,300 meter, 400 protective net, 500 alarm, 60 ceiling light, 60 yuan door emblem, and 1,330 operating license, including 440, 460, taxi license, 366 taxi security certificate, 400 industrial and commercial business license and tax registration certificate, and other related expenses were 400, and it cost about 3,000 yuan to treat guests, eat, and give gifts.
If this is the case, his investment for renting an individual operating company is about 75,000 yuan.
"The total income in a month can be almost 9,000 yuan." The driver was unambiguous, and these data came out. "The fixed expenses required for each month are 800, driving costs 1,900, and the net income is 6,300, and the salary I paid for myself is 1,300, which means that the monthly return on investment is 5,000. If this is the case, as long as I operate normally, I will only need fifteen months to recover all my investment."
However, taxi drivers who work for the company do not have such a good income. They first have to pay a risk deposit of 40,000 yuan to the company, and then get an old Xiali taxi, and pay the company 4,400 yuan a month.
Their monthly operating income is basically the same as mine. The car payment is 4,440 yuan, and the fuel fee is 1,800 yuan per month, the repair fee is 400 yuan per month, the meal fee in the car is about 300 yuan, and other expenses such as fines are 100 yuan per month. After digging out the other miscellaneous items, it will cost about 7,000 yuan in total.
"In other words, if you work for a driver who works for the company for a month, you can only get 1,900 at most." The driver said to Chen Mingluo.
"Tsk—" Chen Mingluo was shocked after hearing this, "This company is really dark enough!"
The same taxi driver also invested as much or more funds. Just because the individual driver has the right to operate, his investment will have a return on investment, and the return on investment of the driver who works for the company can only be occupied by the company for free.
Sometimes, the company's taxi drivers not only have no return on investment, but also have no minimum interest on funds. On the other hand, when many people leave the company, the risk deposit is already almost deducted by the company. This is no wonder many people say that if they do taxi drivers, they cannot get sick at home, nor can they get sick. Otherwise, they will miss a few days of work, not only will they not even be able to earn living expenses, but they will also have to borrow money to pay the company for the car.
Since you are not making money, can you not do it? No! If you don’t do it, the company will have to pay a risk deposit, and continue to hold 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in the palm of others, trapping the taxi driver like a shackle.
"If you don't enter this industry, you won't know the depth of the water inside-" the taxi driver said with some emotion. "The reason why I started to sell individuals was mainly because the unit was laid off and I didn't trust the company or the company. I would rather spend more money on my own than be subject to other people's constraints. Now it seems that this step is right, otherwise it would be better to practice a street stall."
Chen Mingluo nodded and said hesitantly, "It seems that it is not easy for any industry!"
"That's not true. I've been rich and powerful!" The driver slapped the steering wheel and said to Chen Mingluo.
Obviously, those who can afford to drive a taxi company are definitely not ordinary people. They can not only receive policy care, but also find start-up funds, but also suppress these drivers who are dissatisfied with their treatment issues. They will definitely not be able to cover them without some energy.
It’s no wonder that many taxi companies in many places have gangsters and do not have a group of thugs to watch the market. This business is really hard to do.
As he spoke, the car drove to the gate of the municipal government compound.
"Oh, do you actually live here?" The driver looked at it and was quite surprised.
Chen Mingle smiled and asked, "Well, master, see how much it costs?"
The driver was about to look at the meter, but he found that the meter suddenly stopped jumping, and there was a bunch of garbled codes on it, and it actually broke down!
"Damn--What the hell is this a mess? He gave up the ball when the critical moment--" The driver was extremely angry when he saw this, and smashed the meter with his fist twice, "It cost me more than a thousand yuan, but it's often broken!"
