Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing

On Thursday,

Hao Qiang got a physical examination certificate for learning to drive and planned to go to a driving school near the school to sign up for a C1 driver’s license.

The tuition fee is as high as 1,500 yuan, which is a considerable expense in today’s society.

In some places, the tuition fee may only be 600 or 700 yuan, and you can even buy a license, which is incredible.

In fact, the cost of learning to drive varies significantly across the country.

Even in 2020, the tuition fees in some places remain at more than 2,000 yuan, and there are no other additional fees, such as Xincheng in Henan Province. Others can’t believe it.

In plain areas, there are many flat lands, so it doesn’t cost much to set up a driving school.

In most areas, the tuition fee is generally 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.

But some areas are particularly expensive, such as Wencheng in Zhejiang Province. It costs almost 10,000 yuan to get a driver’s license, and students often need to give cigarettes and red envelopes to the coach.

More than a decade later, the chaos is like this, and learning to drive in this era is even more chaotic.

Hao Qiang still prepared a few packs of high-end cigarettes, came to the driving school, and found the driving school manager.

He secretly put a pack of cigarettes into the manager’s hand and said with a smile: “Uncle, I plan to get a driver’s license.

But I can drive and understand traffic rules. Can I take a shortcut to get a driver’s license?

In addition to the normal tuition of 1,500 yuan, how much more will be required?”

He must have no time to learn to drive, not even to take the test.

If he had that time, he could earn thousands of yuan by typing for half a day.

Manager Wang, who was in his forties, was suddenly stuffed with a pack of cigarettes by a young man. He was a little surprised, but he accepted it calmly. He was used to this kind of thing. He looked at Hao Qiang carefully, then said with a smile: “Little brother, why are you in such a hurry? Can’t you just take the test well?”

Hao Qiang said helplessly: “I really don’t have time. It’s too much trouble.”

Manager Wang pondered and said: “You still have to take the theoretical test. Everything else is easy. Add another thousand yuan and you will get the license within a month.”

He paused and added, “But we have to make sure you really have the ability to drive. This is not just your words.”

“I can drive. Please help me.” Hao Qiang expressed his understanding after hearing this and stuffed another pack of cigarettes into his hand.

The process of getting a driver’s license these days is relatively simple, with fewer test items, all manually judged, and the theoretical test paper is printed with manual ink.

To put it bluntly, it is a test of human relations and worldly wisdom!

More than ten years later, it is really difficult to pass the second test.

If we look back to 20 years ago, the process of learning to drive was strict and cumbersome, requiring up to half a year of study, and even requiring students to learn how to repair cars.

Manager Wang smiled and accepted another pack of cigarettes, feeling that the young man in front of him was really authentic.

The money collected by taking shortcuts did not all go into his pocket, most of it went to the driving school, and he could get a commission.

In fact, driving schools especially like students who have a basic understanding of driving and can even drive, which saves trouble.

“Let’s go, try driving first, and then we can explain it.” After Manager Wang finished speaking, he took Hao Qiang into the driving learning area.

Hao Qiang nodded, followed him, and stepped into the training ground.

The scale of this driving school is quite large, with training grounds and examination grounds combined into one, and complete facilities.

When Hao Qiang walked past a group of students who were learning to drive, he saw a coach severely criticizing a female student in her twenties: “You can’t tell left from right. I told you to turn the steering wheel to the left, but you turned it to the right!

If you drive on the road, you will be a road killer!”

The coach saw a student secretly laughing, turned around and scolded directly: “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny? That person can’t tell the difference between brake and clutch!

How good do you think you are? You are even more stupid than her!”

The scolded young male student did not dare to refute and bowed his head to endure it.

In this training ground, the coach is the authority and the boss. If he is unhappy, he will not let you test drive.

Manager Wang stopped and waved to the coach: “Old Chen, stop for a moment. This young man is an old hand. Let him drive for a while.”

When Coach Chen saw that it was Manager Wang coming, he immediately put on a smile: “Okay, no problem.”

Manager Wang nodded, feeling that Old Chen was very tactful, and whispered: “The student quota is counted for you, and he plans to take the special channel.”

“Okay!”

Coach Chen’s smile became even bigger, and then he looked up and down at Hao Qiang, “Young man, can you really drive?”

“Yes, my family has a car, and we have been on the highway several times.” Hao Qiang lied, and then added, “My dad was tired of driving, so I drove.

Of course, driving without a license is wrong.”

“Oh, then there should be no problem.” Coach Chen was a little surprised, “Let’s try it here and go through the process.”

After that, he asked the seven students on the scene to pause.

Most of the students were very unhappy when they saw that they were cut in line, but they did not dare to complain to the coach.Angry, he could only glare at Hao Qiang.

Some young female students were not angry, but looked at the handsome Hao Qiang curiously, hoping that he would not drive, and then learn to drive with them, so that she would have the opportunity to get in touch with Hao Qiang.

Hao Qiang said that he had driven on the highway, but some students did not believe it, thinking that he was bragging, and he looked only about 20 years old.

If you drive on the highway without a driver’s license, then you are driving without a license!

The coach sat in the co-pilot seat, and Hao Qiang sat in the main driver’s seat, closed the door, fastened his seat belt neatly, and then took out a pack of cigarettes and gave it to the coach: “Uncle, do you smoke?

I attended the wedding banquet yesterday and took a pack of cigarettes. I don’t smoke, so why don’t you smoke.”

Coach Chen was slightly stunned, and then took the pack of high-end cigarettes handed over by Hao Qiang, with a satisfied smile on his face: “Hehe, you are really good.”

This kid is really good at talking, and the gift is just right, which is both decent and not ostentatious, making people feel comfortable.

Unlike some students, who felt like they owed him money when they gave him cigarettes, and even made weird requests.

There was no need to talk about these things, everyone knew it.

There were even students who gave him cigarettes in front of the leader, which was really stupid.

Although he was used to accepting cigarettes, he still had to be more restrained in front of the leader and could not accept them blatantly, and he had to give half to the leader in the end.

Hao Qiang stepped on the brakes, turned the car key, and started the car.

The car was a manual transmission. Before his rebirth, he drove a broken second-hand car on the streets for several years, and it was still a manual transmission. Every gear shift and every clutch had long been integrated into his blood.

So, he was not unfamiliar at all.

The students outside the venue witnessed this scene. Among them, the female student who was scolded just now had a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes: “Why didn’t he walk around the car first before getting in the car as required? This is not in line with the rules of the test.”

Other students were speechless when they heard this. Some students joked: “Maybe he is handsome, so he doesn’t need to.”

The students outside the venue saw Hao Qiang get in the car for a test drive. The female student who was scolded just now was a little curious: “Don’t you need to walk around before getting in the car? It’s not in line with the rules.”

Other students were speechless when they heard this, but they still approached to observe how Hao Qiang drove, hoping that he would make a mistake and hit the training car.

On the field, Hao Qiang operated the car skillfully and performed reverse and other operations according to the coach’s requirements.

Coach Chen saw that Hao Qiang’s every move seemed so skillful and smooth, and he maintained a natural and relaxed demeanor, and he was skillful in steering with one hand. He knew that he was an old hand and probably drove secretly many times.

Next, Hao Qiang accurately completed operations such as reverse parking and side parking.

The coach took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it, without worrying at all.

Not long after, Hao Qiang completed all the operations and parked the car steadily in the designated position.

Coach Chen smiled and said, “Young man, not bad, very skilled, you must have stolen more than a few times.”

He was very satisfied with such a student, he didn’t need to teach him, and he could get a commission.

Hao Qiang smiled faintly, didn’t answer the question, turned off the engine and got out of the car.

Manager Wang stood on the sidelines, smoking the cigarette given by Hao Qiang, and watched Hao Qiang’s test drive throughout the whole process.

After watching him get off the car, he smiled and nodded to Hao Qiang, indicating that it was okay, and then left the training ground together to go through the formalities.

Coach Chen watched the leader leave, then turned to the students: “See, if you have one-third of the level of the handsome guy just now, you don’t have to worry about the exam at all!”

The students glanced at Hao Qiang who was about to disappear from their sight, and had to admire him. Coach, don’t say one-third, one-fifth is enough, his level is about the same as yours.

And he steers with one hand!

Some students are very distressed: How come it is so easy for others to operate, why can’t they learn it?

It seems that they are not stupid, why is there such a big gap?

Hao Qiang doesn’t bother to pay attention to the students who have only met once. If he knew their thoughts, he would probably laugh: When I was learning to drive, I was as stupid as you!

For a while, he was scolded by his coach and doubted his life and had no confidence in life.
