I can see the commodity price curve

He gave the black boss a helpless look, and Chris instantly understood what he meant.

So he said impatiently to the black boss: "Hey, do you want to leave?

If you don't leave, we'll get off the bus.

There are so many people crammed into one car that it’s hard for me to breathe now.

If I had known earlier, I should have just walked there. Although the walk might take a little longer, it would definitely be much more comfortable than this. "

The boss glanced at Chris helplessly: "I said brother, it's almost done.

Nineteen of you took the bus, and you were paid almost one-third less.

If it weren't for the fact that it's not easy for everyone, I wouldn't want to take you. "

Chris stared instantly: "Really? Then I really don't want to do it. Pay me back the money and let's get off the car now."

However, the truck owner seemed not to hear what Chris said at all. He turned to the young man following him and said:

"Get ready, we're going to leave soon."

The young man nodded, then picked up the crank handle, walked to the side of the truck, put the crank handle in, and started shaking it hard.

Zhang Yue was stunned at this scene.

It's like a rock bar like a tractor, only elongated.

This is obviously a truck, but why did it come standard with a tractor?
Of course, he just complained hard in his heart, but the young man shook it twice and heard a chugging sound.

The truck has started.

Then the truck owner stepped on the accelerator, and the whole truck swayed forward.

Zhang Yue felt like he was sitting on a boat. Every time he took a step forward, his body kept swaying back and forth.

This was very unaccustomed to him who was used to driving on domestic asphalt roads.

The cheapest car he ever drove was the small truck his father used to collect grain.

That car had been driven for seven or eight years and was already in disrepair.

Later, Zhang Yue made a lot of money and bought an Iveco. Then he drove it everywhere to buy and sell goods with the help of his eyesight.

However, he had been driving this car for less than half a year, because his business was getting bigger and bigger, and he no longer had the time and energy to make the small money.

Zhang's parents-in-law are not willing to go to a big city because they are used to life in a small county.

So Zhang Yue gave the Iveco to his parents and let them drive it.

As for the small truck, it had been sold by my father. It was said that it was sold for 1,800 yuan.

Zhang Yue was very happy to learn about this situation, because he had long disliked this car.

Because the steering wheel does not have a power-assist arm, it is very difficult to drive.

Moreover, the speed cannot be increased. When encountering a place with bad road conditions, it is called a bump.

So selling it and replacing it with the Iveco would make it easier for my father to buy goods again.

It can be regarded as getting rid of one of Zhang Yue's worries.

Later, he wanted to buy a better van for his father, but his father refused because the Iveco was still very new.

But now, Zhang Yue found that he missed that small truck very much.

There's nothing you can do about it, even though that little truck is old and worn out, it will still wobble when you walk on bad road conditions.

But compared with the current truck, it's so much better.

In a truck that was only slightly faster than a bicycle, Zhang Yue felt like he was sitting unconscious.

You don't want to stay in this state for eight hours, do you?

When he thought of this scene, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

so horrible!

But looking at the rugged road under our feet, it becomes extremely muddy every time we walk a certain distance.

Zhang Yue gave up the idea of ​​​​getting out of the car and walking forward.

He continued like this for another twenty minutes, when suddenly the vehicle vibrated violently and then stopped.

Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he could finally take a rest.

However, the next moment, the truck owner's expression changed drastically. He asked a young man next to him: "What's going on?"

The young man quickly got out of the car to check. About ten minutes had passed before he started chattering to the truck owner.

Chris listened next to him, and his expression changed accordingly.

Seeing Zhang Yue looking at him with confusion, Chris was a little depressed: "Now we're in trouble, his car is broken down."

Zhang Yue was stunned: "Is it broken?"

At the same time, my heart sank.

The current location I am in is a standard out-of-the-way place.

In this wilderness, if the car breaks down here, it will definitely collapse.

Especially since the road conditions here are very complicated, even if a rescue vehicle can be called, it will probably take a long time.

But soon, Zhang Yue accepted this fact. He turned his head and whispered to Chris:

"What are you doing standing still? Call now!

Let our people come over and drive an off-road vehicle.

I've had enough of riding in this crappy car. "

He had brought Chris here for an unannounced visit before, hoping to understand the real situation here so that he could make corresponding judgments.

But understanding the situation does not mean that he is here to endure hardship.

And in Zhang Yue's view, this is no longer about suffering, but suffering.

So he decided to take this opportunity to leave this ghost place quickly.

However, Chris shook his head: "I'm afraid not."

"No, why?"

Chris took out his mobile phone with a wry smile on his face: "Because there is no signal."

"No signal?" Zhang Yue was stunned, and then suddenly thought of something, "Wait, since there is no signal, how can they call for support?"

What Zhang Yue was talking about was, of course, the truck owner asking a repair team to repair the vehicle.

Although it was extremely uncomfortable to sit in this truck, no matter how uncomfortable it was, it was still worse than walking up the Ten Sky Wall on two legs.

Especially in this wilderness, there must be a lot of mosquitoes at night.

Zhang Yue had reason to believe that he might not reach Mongu at all and would be killed by mosquitoes drinking his blood.

So even if he has to wait an hour or two, he still hopes that the car can be repaired.

However, Chris looked at him with a strange expression: "What are you calling for support? How can there be support in this place?"

Zhang Yue was stunned: "Why no support? What about this car?"

"It's very simple, they can fix it themselves!"

"Fix it yourself, they know how to repair the car themselves?"

"Of course I know how to repair the car, otherwise why do you think the truck owner took three people with him?
In order to prevent the car from breaking down in the middle, two of the four of them are drivers and the other two are mechanics. "

Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out there is someone who is responsible for repairing the car. I was shocked. I thought no one was repairing the car at all!"

Suddenly he realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, you brought the mechanic with you when you drove the car. Could it be that his car often breaks down?"

"I can't say it breaks often. It usually breaks once every four or five trips."

Zhang Yue was stunned: "What? It breaks down once after four or five trips?
Isn't this too exaggerated? "

You can't blame him for not believing it. You have to know that in China, the probability of a car breaking down on the road is very low.

As long as you pay attention to doing maintenance every once in a while, there will basically be no problems.

Although the road condition is very poor, it is still very exaggerated to change it every four or five times.

Chris spread his hands helplessly: “There’s nothing we can do about it.

This truck is too old, its engine, for example, is twenty-eight years old.

It stands to reason that this engine has been eliminated five or six times, so in such road conditions, it breaks down once every four or five times, which is already very good. Zhang Yue was puzzled: "In this case, why didn't he buy a new car?"
It should be a lot easier to drive up and down this road with a new car! "

Chris looked at Zhang Yue: "It's easy to replace it with a new one, but where's the money?"

“I know it’s going to cost money to get a new car.

But according to the time cost and labor cost, replacing a new car is still very cost-effective.

For example, in such road conditions, this kind of car can only make one trip a day. If you want to come back, you need to walk another day.

This does not include vehicles breaking down in the middle, which can take even longer.

But he bought a new car and could run back and forth easily every day.

If you are more diligent, you can even run back and forth twice.

And if he hires these three people, it will cost a lot every day, right?

These three people worked for him for two years, and their salary was enough to buy a new car. "

Chris looked at Zhang Yue helplessly: "Brother, please don't compare Africa with your country, okay?
In China, it is very easy for ordinary people to earn one or two hundred yuan a day.

But here, do you know how much money these three people can earn in total if they work for a day?
Sixty cents! "

Zhang Yue was stunned: "Wait a minute, what did you say? You only earn 60 cents by driving with your boss for a day?"
Isn't this too outrageous? "

You can't blame him for not believing it. You have to know that in China, if you just go to the trash can and pick up a few plastic bottles, you can sell them for one or two yuan.

Many people simply don't bother to take advantage of the one or two dollars.

When everyone goes shopping, if the store owner says you can buy it and I’ll give you a dollar cheaper, you will definitely be despised!

But people here can't even make a dollar after working hard for a day...

However, Chris said: "You are wrong, I am not talking about one person making 60 cents a day, but three people making a total of 60 cents a day.

In other words, a person can only earn two cents a day. "

Zhang Yue was silent.

Suddenly he said: "I suddenly understand something now."

Chris smiled and said: "What is it? Have you realized what the real gap between rich and poor is?

Just be aware, so for most people in Africa, people in your country are simply living in paradise.

If possible, everyone here would go to China to make a living.

However, the visa application there is too difficult, even more difficult than in beautiful countries.

So there is no way, this is life. "

Zhang Yue shook his head: "You misunderstood me.

I don't feel sorry for these people, after all, different people have different ways of living.

Do you know what people’s living standards were like in our country forty years ago?

They work hard all day and only earn a few cents.

Most people work hard for a month and only earn three to five yuan.

These three people earn 20 cents a day and 6 yuan a month.

If I'm not wrong, prices here are also very low, so six yuan is enough to guarantee their basic life.

I mean, I find that offering you thirty thousand dollars a month is a little too high.

According to your standards, this is equivalent to our monthly income of tens of millions.

So I decided to lower your salary.

These workers earn two cents a day. You are the captain of the Guoyue Security Brigade. I will give you ten times that. How about two cents a day? "

Chris's face turned green instantly: "Brother, I was wrong, okay?

Two yuan a day, only sixty yuan a month. You clearly want to starve me to death.

Prices over there are different from here. You can’t even eat enough for sixty yuan. "

"If you're like this, how about I give you ten times more, six hundred yuan a month? This is already very kind."

Chris quickly said: "Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me!"

Chen Jian looked at him in surprise: "Wrong, what's wrong?"

“I should explain the situation of this road clearly to you in advance.

It's not that I deliberately concealed it.

So please give me a chance to change my ways. I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on without any hesitation. "

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction.

From the conversation between the two, he could see that Chris was very familiar with the situation of this generation, but this guy knew all about it, but he didn't tell him.

Did he forget?
Obviously impossible.

After all, the other party knows very well what kind of personality you have. If the other party tells you about such a bad environment, you will definitely think about it again and again, and finally decide what method to use to get over.

So the answer is obvious. The other party didn't tell me. It should be because he insisted on coming alone, so he wanted to laugh at himself.

Zhang Yue shook his head and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He turned to watch the other person repair the car.

I have to say that the guy in charge of repairing the car is very skilled.

After just a simple inspection, the cause of the accident was figured out.

Then he started pulling out various repair tools.

However, despite his skillful movements, it still took nearly an hour until the car was repaired.

Then another guy took out the crank and started cranking the car.

The train was started again and continued to move at a snail's pace.

Perhaps because of adaptation, Zhang Yue no longer felt particularly bumpy when setting off this time.

So he still had time to observe the surrounding scenery.

Then Zhang Yue saw several lions chasing a giraffe in the prairie in the distance.

These lions look very fierce. They surround the giraffe and are ready to attack at any time.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue couldn't help but mourn for the giraffe.

As the saying goes, the weak eat the strong. When encountering an animal like a lion, especially when surrounded by several of them, there is no other option but to wait for death.

However, Zhang Yue was stunned the next moment.

I saw a lion that could no longer hold back, took a few steps, and pounced on the giraffe.

The speed is as fast as lightning.

However, lions are faster and giraffes are faster.

With a movement of its head, it directly pressed against the lion's belly, and then pushed the lion away.

The lion's whole body seemed to have been hit by a speeding van. It rolled far away on the ground and became motionless.

Seeing Zhang Yue looking at him with confusion, Chris said: "No need to look, that lion is already dead."

Zhang Yue was stunned: "What? The lion is dead? No way?"

"Why not?"

"That's a lion."

"What's wrong with the lion? You know a lion can't beat a giraffe."

"A lion can't beat a giraffe, is it true?"

"Why did I lie to you?
When a lion sees a giraffe, he will definitely turn around and run away.

Wanting to catch and eat the giraffe, only a few lions cooperated.

Even so, it is fraught with danger.

If I guessed correctly, these lions probably didn't find food for a long time, so they had to take risks. "
