In the Withering of All Things, a New Round of Explosive Growth Lies Hidden

The people most directly affected by the decline of the real economy are probably Truck Driver. Once businesses go bankrupt, there will be no demand for logistics, and without demand for logistics, Truck Driver will lose their jobs.

The more businesses go bankrupt, the more Truck Driver will lose their jobs, and this kind of unemployment is different from that of ordinary workers.

Ordinary workers can find other jobs after losing their jobs, and if they are lucky, they can find a job to make a living. But it's different for Truck Driver. Without new logistics needs, there will only be fewer and fewer jobs, not more and more.

This also makes it difficult for Truck Driver to find suitable jobs once they lose their jobs, even if they lower their salary expectations.

Truck Driver are a very special group. They can be categorized as workers, but workers are clearly unwilling to accept Truck Driver who earn higher wages, have better benefits, and have easier jobs than them.

Truck Driver also don't want to mingle with the sweaty, smelly workers, since they have their own "private vehicles."

This has led to Labor Union not paying much attention to the issue of Truck Driver unemployment; they'll make a fuss if they have the chance, but if they don't, they'll pretend they don't see it.

In fact, Truck Driver is not only hard work, but also very dangerous.

Even today, there are still many highway robbers who operate on Interstate Highway. For every Truck Driver, hundreds or thousands of kilometers of desolate highways are like traveling through hell, and every trip is a dance on the line of life and death.

One careless moment and you could die on the road, your truck could be driven away by someone else, leaving behind only a pile of bones that would soon become one with nature.

Therefore, Truck Driver often travel in convoys, especially on intercontinental routes. It is very dangerous for two or three trucks to travel together, so it is usually five or more trucks traveling together.

They won't stop if they encounter something on the road; they'll just ram into it. So don't even think about stopping cars on intercontinental highways, and certainly don't think about forcing these trucks to stop.

But are all Truck Driver good people?

Obviously not. In the past, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's files on highway homicides showed that most of the homicides related to highways were more or less related to Truck Driver.

The most famous case is the "Highway Serial Murders," in which a Truck Driver who liked to run errands on his own, Willing to Help Others but also liked to kill people after helping them. After being arrested, the driver confessed to dozens of murders on the highway, some of which the police had not even discovered.

In short, this is a very special group. Once they leave the highway, they are just ordinary people, not much different from others. They may look a little fierce, but overall they are just ordinary people.

But once you enter their "domain," these people undergo a fundamental change, both inside and out.

Lin Qi led them to an outdoor parking lot. The truck cab and the trailer were not integrated; they were looking at the cab of the large truck.

There were more than forty truck cabs parked in the open space. Cook suddenly became excited and ran to a truck cab, his lips trembling slightly.

He gently stroked the headlights, feeling a mix of guilt and heartache. Cook's friend James stood by and explained to Lin Qi, "That was Cook's truck before our company went bankrupt."

"I can understand..." Master Lin Qi was a very tolerant and kind man, and he did not spoil the heartwarming reunion between Cook and his beloved truck.

After a while, Cook came to his senses and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. This person, who looked like a monster, was actually a little shy and bashful.

This is also a significant characteristic of Truck Driver' lack of social interaction; their social circles are too narrow.

His eyes held a longing that he was too embarrassed to express, but Lin Qi thoughtfully beckoned to the staff member, "Bring me the car keys so my friend can go take a look."

As soon as Lin Qi said this, all the Truck Driver ' eyes changed. First, they began to respect Lin Qi because Lin Qi showed through his actions that he did not look down on Cook or treat him in any other way that was humiliating. Instead, he had someone bring Cook's truck keys to fulfill Cook's small wish.

Secondly, instead of saying they were subordinates, employees, or simply Truck Driver, he used the word "friends."

Perhaps because there are always horrific news reports about highways, not everyone in this civilized society is willing to be friends with these Truck Driver on the highway.

Coupled with their narrow social circles, the social anxiety that exists to some extent in everyone, and their irritable nature, the only person who can accept them is themselves.

It's touching that Lin Qi, this big boss and businessman, calls them friends, and it also makes them feel a warm feeling.

In the past, they might not have felt this strongly, but now, months to half a year after they lost their jobs, Lin Qi's words were like the warm sunshine in winter, melting the ice in their hearts! Cook didn't know how to express his feelings and emotions at that moment, and in the end, all he could say was "thank you." He was a beast who didn't know how to express himself.

Once he got the keys, Cook immediately transformed. He easily retrieved his tool kit from the cargo area, opened the hood, and began inspecting the vehicle. He quickly got into character.

Lin Qi then looked at the others and said, "What are you waiting for? Maybe there's a car for you here, or maybe there isn't, but there might be one you like. Why don't you go take a look or give it a try?"

These words immediately stirred the group's interest; they had long wanted to act, but they had been more reserved about it.

With Lin Qi's permission, they immediately thanked him and took the keys to examine their vehicles, while Lin Qi watched the Truck Driver from the edge of the parking lot.

As the saying goes these days, highways are a lawless zone, especially intercontinental highways, where you can hardly see anything on hundreds or thousands of kilometers of roads.

Even on state highways, there's only the occasional police car parked at the entrance; they don't actively interfere on highways, as that's Truck Driver ' territory.

If someone can control the majority of Truck Driver in a state, then that person controls the entire state's logistics system.

train?

Yes, that is indeed a good way to avoid Truck Driver, but the train still faces two problems.

The Bayer Federation still does not have a complete railway network that can cover all parts of the Federal. Due to geological and topographical reasons, not all places are suitable for laying railways, and railways are also lost in very desolate areas.

In addition, the low usage rate of railways by the public meant that railway companies became obsolete before they could grow and thrive.

It's a consensus that running a railway is unprofitable, but railways still exist. Generally, there's a railway network connecting several major cities in each state to facilitate population movement, but intercontinental railways are rare.

If Lin Qi controls the state's logistics, he will have some people by the throat. Even if he does nothing, it will be easy for him to interfere in certain businesses in the future.

Even if he doesn't put any money in, he can still get a certain amount of stock, since he controls the logistics and transportation.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Cook finally packed up his tools and tidied himself up as well. He happily said that the car was well maintained and that apart from some minor issues that had been there for a while, there were no major problems.

Others shared similar opinions about their cars or the ones they had chosen, and Lin Qi didn't mince words, going straight to the dealership manager about the price.

A brand new truck like this would cost between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan. While the price isn't particularly high, it's still beyond the reach of Truck Driver like Cook.

Even now, these cars are all used cars, and their prices are all above 15,000 yuan.

After a friendly conversation with the dealership manager and owner, Lin Qi signed a special agreement with them. He would purchase no fewer than one hundred trucks within six months, and the price had to be kept below twelve thousand dollars.

The car dealership is only responsible for providing vehicles for Lin Qi to choose from; how Lin Qi chooses is entirely up to him.

Five years ago, if such an agreement had been placed in front of a car dealership owner, he would have torn it up without hesitation and pointed to the door, yelling, "Get out!"

But now, with his eyelids twitching violently, he signed the agreement and thanked Master Lin Qi for patronizing his business.

Having vehicles stuck in your hands means your finances are in a stalemate, and times and circumstances are changing every day.

Faced with a future that already feels bleak, having a sum of money and owning dozens of cars are two completely different things.

Even if he doesn't earn much, or even if he doesn't make any money, this is still a rare opportunity for the car dealership owner to get rid of his hands, so he has to bite the bullet and sign the agreement.

Immediately, Lin Qi had Cook and the others drive to the club. After a few days of arrangements, everyone at the club and Kane reached an agreement to end their careers at the club.

As the owner and a great philanthropist, Lin Qi should comfort these people and acknowledge their past contributions to the club.

Before that, he had to go to Qiao Geliman's place and buy a car, which he would definitely mortgage to the bank. Using other people's money to serve himself is the core of the "financial game".

Those who use their own money to serve themselves and also have to take on risks...

Lin Qi never discriminates against people with intellectual disabilities; on the contrary, he finds them quite endearing!
