Marco Polo may be a traveler, but he is definitely not an economist, and he does not understand the relationship between people's income and consumption.

For example, if a person's basic living cost is 300 yuan, then the difference between a monthly income of 300 yuan and 400 yuan is not 25%, but -

One heaven and one earth.

Because the former spends all his income on basic living costs, including rent, water, electricity, and three meals a day, and there will not be any extra money for social consumption.

If he only earns 280 yuan, he will further cut expenses, focus on basic living costs, live frugally, and squeeze out the 20 yuan from his teeth.

Although it seems that the income has been reduced by less than 10%, in fact, the happiness has been reduced by at least 50%.

Lame Village suddenly became prosperous. In the final analysis, it was because every household had spare money.

There is living water at the source.

The flowers and plants are lush and flourishing, nourished by nature.

Just as Marco was surprised at the village's new look, Wang Yinlong shouted, and Marco understood why Wang Yinlong said that going back to the village was also going to work:

"The bus is about to leave! Those who are going to the town or Tianya Village can get on the bus now!"

Half the people at the morning market moved at the noise.

It turned out that half of the people were waiting for the bus.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

"Polo, you're back?"

"Brother!" Marco waved at the village chief Ma. He was just about to introduce his girlfriend to his brother and carry his bags of things home, but he didn't expect the village chief Ma to come up and say something.

"You're back at the right time! What are you still doing here? Follow Yinlong to the interview!"

"interview!?"

…

Marco Bo didn't even have time to introduce his girlfriend to his brother before he was sent back to the tourist train. Marco Bo blinked in confusion and asked:

"Brother Xiaolong, what's the matter with my brother asking me to follow you to the interview?"

"It's just a job interview. The village chief has already informed the chairman!"

"I mean, what kind of job?" Marco couldn't help but ask with some anticipation.

"Drive like me!"

Marco looked at the passengers behind him and was glad that he was sitting behind Wang Yinlong. He lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Xiaolong, can you tell me how much you make in a month driving this car?"

Wang Yinlong did not hide anything and answered directly: "1,000 yuan."

"Only 1,000?"

As a security guard with a monthly salary of 400 yuan, Marco Bo certainly has no right to despise a job that pays 1,000 yuan.

However, he feels that the low wages are justified.

Because during this period, taxi drivers were a very lucrative profession, with an average monthly income of several thousand yuan. Some in big cities could earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month.

Of course, the ways these people who earn over 10,000 yuan a month make money are very shameless, such as taking detours, tampering with meters, charging a high price... and just as badly as they were squeezed out by online ride-hailing services, they are just as shady now.

If you don't believe it, just go out and ask. Almost everyone who has taken a taxi has been ripped off.

The reason why Marco Bo took the driving test was that he wanted to be a taxi driver.

However, there are so many people who want to be taxi drivers, and it is never his turn to make money.

Even if he sold all his belongings to buy a car, it would not work because the operating license is more expensive than the car.

But then again, the income from driving a bus is indeed not comparable to that from driving a taxi, although it is not too difficult to get an A license than a C license. But there are so many people in the country, if you don't do it, there will be many people who are eager to do it.

Marco Bo felt that this was mostly due to the temptation of stability...but is driving a small train in the countryside really a stable job?

"Brother Xiaolong, what do you think of this job?"

"Good! That's great!"

"Is it really that good?"

Marco expressed his doubts, thinking that Xiaolong had stayed in the countryside for too long after all, and if he knew how much the taxi drivers in the city earned in a month, he would definitely not think it was so good.

Country people still haven't seen the world.

However, at this time, Wang Yinlong said: "Isn't it good to have five social insurances and one housing fund?"

"And five social insurances and one housing fund?"

Marco was secretly surprised that this unit was quite formal.

“Free meals…”

Marco was surprised again. If meals were free, he would save a lot of money in a month, which was equivalent to an extra 100 or 200 yuan in salary.

"It's fine if you work one day and rest one day, but you only work eight hours a day..."

"What! Eight hours a day? And you work one day and rest one day?"

Marco was completely shocked!

Although taxi drivers make a lot of money, it is all earned in exchange for time. 48 hours a week is nothing. Many drivers can drive up to 84 hours a week.

Putting aside the bad apples who are unscrupulous and try to cheat people, these drivers really work very hard and risk their lives for money.

That’s just the driver’s limit.

Because the cars and license plates are hard to come by, the drivers often work around the clock, with two drivers working in shifts day and night. It can be said that working 12 hours a day is the normal working time for many taxi drivers.

Compared with them, what Wang Yinlong does is called a job?

This is clearly a vacation!

Marco's eyes moved to Wang Yinlong's three daughters. The three little ones were sitting in the car, shaking their short legs. The eldest daughter was happily shaking her head:

"Dad is driving a train!"

His girlfriend took out candies from her bag and handed them to Wang Yinlong's daughters, especially the two little girls.
