Chapter 1166: Surprises and Disappointments
The listing of the magic car Xiao Huang brings more than just surprises and happiness.
And shock and disruption.
When Xiao Huang took his wife for a joyful ride all over the street, the impact brought by the magic car Xiao Huang continued to spread.
The first to be impacted was not actually the coaches of the driving school.
Brother Wang, who has been in the magic car Xiaohuang, couldn't wait to share his knowledge with several friends on the way back.
As an ordinary person who has not been exposed to too many lazy god-type products, Brother Wang found that many of his concepts have been subverted.
However, Brother Wang didn't think too deeply. When he got home, he was about to sleep and sober up when he heard the phone ringing.
"Who, you still call people during the National Day holiday..." Brother Wang touched the phone unhappily, glanced at it, and suddenly became jittery.
It's the boss!
Shouldn't it be a big holiday, and people need to work overtime!
Do you want people to live!
Picking up the phone anxiously, Brother Wang quickly put on a courteous tone: "Hello, Mr. Hu!"
"Xiao Wang, I'm really sorry. I called you during the holiday just to ask you something. Is that magic car Xiao Huang you posted in your Moments just now really that good?"
That's what happened!
Knowing that it wasn't overtime, Brother Wang immediately cheered up, told what he saw and heard, and then said: "Actually, Xiao Huang bought this car, and I just helped him as a consultant..."
"Really! Then...Xiao Wang, are you busy now? Can you help me as a staff officer? I also want to buy a small yellow car." Mr. Hu said.
Brother Wang was taken aback, and said, "You also want to buy Xiao Huang?"
Mr. Hu's identity is not ordinary, he has a full-time driver!
What more Xiao Huang does this kind of person need?
"Isn't this your sister-in-law? When you go out every day, it's worrying to be driven by a woman's house. Last time, I just rubbed against someone, and the car was still spent. It doesn't matter if you lose money. If something happens, it's a big deal. I said I will give her a car." Driver, she is not willing to..." Mr. Hu turned on the nagging mode.
Uh, the boss's parents are short-tempered, so it's better not to listen, Brother Wang hurriedly said: "I'm not busy, wait a moment, I'm going out, but I drank alcohol today, so I can't drive, I have to take a taxi."
"No, I'll let Xiao Liu pick you up."
When Brother Wang saw the driver Xiao Liu downstairs, he found that he was a little unhappy.
After talking to him a few words, I was a little bored. I thought it was because of the boss's anger, so I comforted him a few words.
Then pick up the boss and his wife, and a group of four went straight to the auto show.
Along the way, the proprietress kept asking questions excitedly. Brother Wang repeated everything he had experienced several times.
When I arrived at the auto show and saw the real car, the proprietress screamed like a child, and she was very pleasantly surprised.
Seeing his wife so happy, the boss immediately made a decision and bought it!
A small car worth 60,000 yuan is like going out for a meal for someone with Mr. Hu's income, and he doesn't even hesitate at all.
The couple went back happily in the yellow car, and the driver Xiao Liu was in charge of taking Brother Wang home.
On the way back, the driver Xiao Liu suddenly spoke up. He said, "Brother Wang, tell me... will I lose my job?"
"Ah?" Brother Wang was also thinking about whether he wanted to buy one for his wife, and was taken aback when he heard this.
"Most of our ex-army comrades haven't found any good jobs..." the driver Xiao Liu said in a low voice, "I'm lucky enough to be able to drive for the boss. Now the traffic regulations are stricter...the driver is really a driver."
"I have a comrade-in-arms. After retiring from the army, he has not been able to find a job. He has been doing odd jobs in various places. Before that, he went to work as a courier. I don't want to say it, but at least I can support myself..." The driver Xiao Liu sighed, "Just over two months ago, he lost his job. Do you know why?"
Brother Wang shook his head.
"Because the courier company he works for has outsourced most of its logistics to Lanshen's service. The little robot of Lanshen's service is very timely and doesn't get tired. It can be delivered to you no matter where you are, and the speed is very fast. It's also very fast, the courier is simply inferior to them..."
"My girlfriend was also fired a few days ago..." Xiao Liu sighed, "You know, she is a junior college student, and it's hard to find a job when she comes out. She just went to work as a customer service for someone a while ago, answering the phone and so on... ...Just over ten days ago, their customer service company bought a set of artificial intelligence customer service, and then dismissed most of the operators."
"You said, now that cars like the little yellow car are on the market, are we full-time drivers useless? Apart from driving a car, what else can I do for the boss? If I am useless, the boss Why are you still hiring me?"
"It's still different..." Brother Wang tried his best to comfort the driver Xiao Liu: "Mr. Hu always has someone to follow when he goes out, carry a bag, handle some chores and so on... Didn't you say that just now? You Before, I was able to help Mr. Hu stop drinking, but in the future, if you don’t have to drive, you can stop drinking!”
"But you don't have to use me to stop drinking..." The driver Xiao Liu sighed, "There are seven drivers in our company's small car class. If there are full-time drivers, the three bosses will each have one, and the rest will drive official cars. Going out to do business. If there are no drivers for official vehicles, how many drivers do you think our company will fire? Mr. Hu chose me because I drive steadily and if I drink too much, brother Zhao can beat us both and act as a bodyguard. Brother Qi is tall Mighty, it’s so good to take it out. Besides... maybe one day, the lazy gods can develop a drinking robot? Isn’t it just pouring wine into the stomach?”
"I used to think that even if I can't be a full-time driver, I can still drive a taxi or a special car... The worst thing is to drive an A book, drive a bus, drive a bus, or get a special book to drive an excavator. Machine..." The driver Xiao Liu sighed, "One of my comrades-in-arms said that there is a construction team of Lazy God Yafei on their construction site. Those construction machines don't need people to drive, and they do the work by themselves..."
"In the future, taxis, buses, buses, and even engineering vehicles will no longer need drivers, what should I do?" The driver Xiao Liu rubbed his head fiercely, "I can't wait to beat up my old self now." , Tell you not to study hard! At that time, I played truant all day long, and I still felt that I was very good. My dad beat me, beat me, and told me to go to school. After a few years, I just learned how to drive. If I go to university and learn something useful, I'm afraid I won't be so uncomfortable now..."
"It's not the same... There are many things in the service industry that machines can't replace..." Brother Wang said dryly, he said to himself, did you learn anything useful when I went to college? Don't you just mess up your days?
"Although it is true that low-skilled jobs can be easily replaced, many emerging service markets still need people. Look at people's lazy service, and it is getting more and more prosperous, with job advertisements every day..." Brother Wang said In enlightening Xiao Liu, he is also enlightening himself.
Moreover, being served by the same kind of human beings is much more pleasant than being served by machines.
You buy a drink from a vending machine, and the beautiful stewardess pours it for you, can the experience be the same?
"I know that the service industry is a sunrise industry, but the service industry is also the industry with the lowest barriers to entry. There are many people who are taller than me and handsomer than me. What advantages do I have in engaging in the service industry? Isn't it possible that I will be eliminated at any time? "
"Brother Wang, do you think it's too late for me to learn some skills?" Xiao Liu scratched his head with a wry smile, and said, "Is it the skills that I can learn, and they will be eliminated soon after all? ...I want to go to school, I want to learn something, but what should I learn so that I won't be eliminated by society?"
"What about the tuition? What about the time? Where is the teacher?"
"What should I do if I spend money and don't learn anything?"
"I used to think that the worst thing I could do was to be a security guard... But a comrade-in-arms of mine who joined Lazy God Security can understand four foreign languages. Now I am still a D-level security guard. Now I am studying programming all day long. Got a C grade..."
"Brother Wang, what do you think I should do?"
This is a confused era, but the driver Xiao Liu's confusion is definitely not because of emptiness, loneliness and coldness.
It was a real existential crisis...
When he got off the car, Brother Wang couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.
I have something... irreplaceable?
Will the driver Xiao Liu's fear and confusion come to him one day?
Will this day be far behind?
