Chapter 118 - 0118 A new round of outbreaks hidden in the economic depression

  The real economic recession affects the most direct people may be the truckers, once the enterprise closes down, there is no more logistics demand, there is no more logistics demand, the truckers are going to lose their jobs.

  The more companies that close down, the more truckers will lose their jobs, and this unemployment is different from that of ordinary workers.

  Ordinary workers can look for other jobs after losing their jobs, and if they are lucky, they can still find a job to make ends meet, but truckers are different, in the absence of new logistics demand, jobs will only become fewer and fewer, not more and more.

  This also leads to the fact that once a truck driver is unemployed, it is very difficult for them to find a very suitable job, even if they lower their standard requirements for salary.

  Truckers are a very specific group of people who can be categorized into the class of workers, but obviously the workers are not willing to take on this group of truckers who are paid more than they are, have better benefits than they do, and have an easier job.

  And the truckers don't want to hang out with sweaty, smelly workers who have an "exclusive ride".

  This has also led to the workers' union not paying much attention to the issue of truck driver unemployment, anyway, if there is a chance to make a fuss, but if there is no chance to make a fuss, just pretend not to see.

  In fact, the work of truck drivers is not only hard, but also very dangerous.

  Even today, there are still many active in the existence of interstate highway toll road hogs, often hundreds of kilometers of deserted highway kilometers for every truck driver as in hell, every trip is a dance on the lifeline.

  If you're not careful, you won't know when you'll die in the middle of the road, and the truck will be driven away by someone else, leaving behind a pile of bones that will soon become one with the whole nature.

  That's why truckers tend to run in convoys when they hit the road, especially on intercontinental routes, where two or three trucks together are very dangerous, and often five or more trucks together.

  They don't stop when things go wrong on the road, they just run right through them, so don't even think about stopping a car on an interstate highway, much less forcing these trucks to stop.

  But are all big truck drivers good guys?

  Obviously not, in the past the Federation has about highway homicide file, can say that most of the highway and highway homicides have something to do with the big truck drivers and more or less a little relationship.

  The most famous is the "highway serial murder", a like to run a single gang of truck drivers, willing to help, and also like to help others after the murder, the driver was arrested and confessed to dozens of murders on the highway, some police even did not find.

  All in all this is a very special group of people, outside of the freeway they are just normal people, not much different, they may look a little mean, but overall they are just normal people.

  But once they enter their "realm", these people will undergo a change from the inside out, a fundamental change.

  Lynch brought them to the outdoor parking lot, the truck's front end and towing, including the trailer are not one piece, they came to see the front end of a large truck.

  There were over forty truck front ends parked throughout the open space, and Cook suddenly got a little excited, his lips trembling slightly as he ran up to one of the truck front ends.

  He gently stroked the headlights, a little apologetic and a little heartbroken, as James, Cook's best friend, stood by and explained for Lynch, "That's Cook's truck from before our company went out of business."

  "Understandable ...," Lord Lynch. was a very forgiving and kind man, and he didn't ruin the cozy reunion of Cook and his beloved truck.

  After a while, Cook came back to his senses and scratched his head with some embarrassment, it looked like this burly man who looked like a monster was actually a bit shy and bashful.

  It was a notable feature of truckers' lack of socialization; their circle was too narrow.

  There was a kind of thirst in his eyesight, and it wasn't easy to say it out loud, but Lynch knowingly hooked his finger at the staff, "Bring the key of that car, let my friend take a look at it."

  As soon as Lynch said this, the eyesight of all the truck drivers became a little different, firstly they started to respect Lynch, because Lynch showed through his behavior that he didn't look down on or how else he looked at Cook with humiliation, instead he asked the people to bring the keys of Cook's car to satisfy Cook's small wish.

  Second, instead of referring to them as subordinates, employees, or just truck drivers, he used the word "friends".

  Probably because there are always horrific news coming out from the highway, not everyone in this civilized society would like to be friends with these highway truckers.

  Combined with their narrow social circles and the social barriers that everyone has, to some degree, and their irritable personalities, the only people who can accept them are themselves.

  Lynch, the big boss, the businessman, however, called them friends, which was very touching and made them feel a warm power.

  If they were placed in the past, they might not have such strong feelings, but now, a few months to half a year after they had lost their jobs, Lynch's words were like the sunlight that warmed everything in winter, melting the ice within them!

  Cook didn't even know how to express his feelings and emotions at this moment, and in the end, he could only use a thousand words to express "thank you", he was a beast who didn't know how to express himself.

  After getting the keys, Cook immediately became a different person, he easily took out the tool kit from the compartment, and then opened the engine cover, began to check the condition of the vehicle, he quickly entered into his own role.

  Lynch then looked to the others, "What about you guys, what are you waiting for, maybe there's a car here for you, maybe there isn't but there's one you like, why not go take a look at it, or try it out?"

  Those words instantly got the group moving, they had wanted to move for a long time, they were just more subtle about it.

  With Lynch's permission, they immediately thanked him while taking the keys and going to work on their own ride, while Lynch watched the truckers from the edge of the parking lot.

  As they say in this day and age, the highway was a law unto itself, especially the interstate highways, where nothing could be seen at all for hundreds or thousands of kilometers.

  Even on intrastate highways, there was only the occasional police car parked there at the intersections into the highway, they wouldn't actively interfere with what was going on on the highway, that was the truckers' turf.

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

  Trains?

  Well, that was indeed a good way to avoid truckers, but trains still faced two problems.

  The Baylor Federation up until now did not have a complete railroad network that could radiate to all parts of the entire Federation, because of the geological terrain, not all places were suitable for laying railroads, and at the same time there was the problem of losing railroads in places that were too barren.

  Coupled with the civil use of the railroad is not high, which makes the railroad company has not yet developed and grown up, it has become a thing of the past.

  Doing railroads to lose money, this has become the consensus of all people at the moment, but the railroad still exists, generally speaking between a few major cities in each state there will be a railroad network coverage, convenient for the movement of the population, but the intercontinental level of railroads is not often seen.

  If Lynch controlled the logistics of the state, he could with pinch the neck of some people, even if he did not do anything, he wanted to intervene in the future in certain business, it was all very easy.

  Even if he didn't contribute any money, he was still able to get a certain level of stock, who let him control the transportation of logistics?

  In this side waited for more than half an hour, Cook only pack up the tools, by the way, he also cleaned up a bit, he cheerfully expressed the car maintenance is good, in addition to some of the long ago want to small problems, and not much what is too big big problem.

  The others had similar opinions about their cars or the cars they had chosen, and Lynch didn't nag about anything, talking directly to the manager of the car dealership about the price.

  A big truck like this, a brand new one would probably cost somewhere between thirty and fifty thousand dollars or so, and while it wasn't particularly expensive, it wasn't something that a trucker like Cook could afford to spend.

  Even now, these cars were used, and they all cost fifteen thousand dollars or more.

  After a cordial conversation with the manager of the car dealership, and the owner of the car dealership, Lynch signed a special agreement with them, he would purchase a total of no less than one hundred trucks in six months, and the price had to be pushed down to below twelve thousand dollars.

  The dealership was only responsible for providing vehicles for Lynch to choose from, how he chose was Lynch's freedom.

  If such an agreement had been placed in front of the owner of the car dealership five years ago, he would have torn it up without hesitation and pointed at the door and growled, "Get out!

  But now, his eyelids jumped while signing the agreement, but also to thank Lord Lynch. to take care of his business.

  Having the vehicle in his hands meant that money was at a standstill, and times and events were changing every day.

  Facing a future that could already make one feel miserable, having a sum of money in hand and having dozens of vehicles were two completely different situations.

  Even if it didn't make much, even if it didn't make any money, to the owner of the car dealership this was a rare opportunity to get out of the deal, and he had to sign this agreement with a stiff upper lip.

  Immediately, Lynch had Cook and the others drive to the club, and after a few days of making arrangements, everyone on the club side had agreed with Kane on their opinions, ending their careers with the club.

  As the owner and big philanthropist it was up to Lynch to go and comfort these guys and give them the recognition that they had worked for the club.

  Before that he had to go to Joe Gleeman's side, and bought a car, must be mortgaged to the bank, using other people's money for their own service, this is the core of the "financial game".

  Those who use their own money for their own service, but also to take the risk of ...

  Lynch never discriminates against the mentally challenged, but rather finds them endearing!
