The most direct impact of the decline of the real economy may be truck drivers. Once the enterprise closes down, there will be no logistics demand. Without logistics demand, truck drivers will lose their jobs.

The more businesses close down, the more truck drivers lose their jobs, and this unemployment is different from that of ordinary workers.

After unemployment, ordinary workers can find other jobs. If they are lucky, they can still find a living job, but unlike truck drivers, there will only be fewer and fewer jobs without new logistics demand.

This also makes it difficult for truck drivers to find a very suitable job once they lose their jobs, even if they reduce the standard requirements for salary.

Truck drivers are a very special group. They can be summarized into the working class, but it is obvious that the workers are unwilling to accept these truck drivers with higher wages, better welfare and easy work.

And truck drivers don't want to hang out with sweaty workers. After all, they have an "exclusive car".

This has also led to the workers' Union not paying much attention to the unemployment of truck drivers. Anyway, if there is a chance to make trouble, it will make trouble. If there is no chance to make trouble, it will pretend not to see.

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

Even today, there are still many fare road bullies active on intercontinental highways. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers of uninhabited high-speed kilometers are like moving forward in hell for every truck driver, and every trip is dancing on the lifeline.

If you are not careful, you don't know when you will die on the way, and the truck will be driven away by others, leaving only a pile of bones that will soon integrate with the whole nature.

Therefore, when truck drivers go on the road, they are often convoys, especially on intercontinental routes. It is very dangerous for two or three vehicles to run together, often more than five trucks together.

When they encounter something on the road, they won't stop and directly hit it, so don't think about stopping cars on the intercontinental highway, let alone forcing these trucks to stop.

But are big truck drivers all good people?

Obviously not. In the past FBI files on highway homicides, it can be said that most highway related homicides are more or less related to large truck drivers.

The most famous is the "high-speed serial homicide". A large truck driver who likes to run alone is willing to help others, and also likes to kill people after helping others. After being arrested, the driver confessed to dozens of homicides on the highway, and some police didn't even find them.

In short, this is a very special group. After leaving the highway, they are ordinary people. There are not many differences. They may look a little fierce, but generally speaking, they are just ordinary people.

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

Lynch took them to the outdoor parking lot. The front and traction of the truck, including towing, are not integrated. What they see is the front of the big truck.

There were more than 40 trucks parked in the whole open space. Cook suddenly became a little excited. He ran to the front of a truck and his lips trembled slightly.

He gently stroked the headlights, some sorry and some distressed. Cook's friend James stood aside and explained to Lynch, "that's Cook's truck before our company went bankrupt."

"It's understandable..." master Lynch is a very tolerant and kind person. He didn't destroy the warmth of Cook's meeting with his beloved truck.

After a while, cook recovered and scratched his head. He looked like a monster, but he was a little shy and shy.

This is also a prominent feature of truck drivers' lack of social networking. Their circle is too narrow.

There was a longing in his eyes and a bad intention to say it, but Lynch was very kind to hook his fingers at the staff, "bring the key of the car and let my friend have a look."

As soon as Lynch said this, the eyes of all truck drivers became a little different. First of all, they began to respect Lynch, because Lynch showed through his behavior that he didn't look down on cook or how to treat cook with humiliation, but asked people to bring the key of Cook's car to meet cook's little wish.

Secondly, he did not say that they were subordinates, employees, or truck drivers, but used the word "friends".

Maybe it's because there are always shocking news on highways. Not everyone in this civilized society is willing to make friends with truck drivers on these highways.

In addition to their narrow social circle and everyone's social barriers to a certain extent, as well as their irritable character, only themselves can accept them.

Lynch, the big boss and businessman, calls them friends, which makes people sigh and makes them feel a warm power.

In the past, they might not have had such a strong feeling, but now, a few months to six months after they lost their jobs, Lynch's words are like the sunshine that warms everything in winter and melts the ice in their hearts!

Cook doesn't know how to express his feelings and emotions at this moment. In the end, thousands of words can only be expressed with a "thank you". He is a beast who doesn't know how to express.

Cook, who got the key, immediately changed into another look. He easily took out the kit from the car, opened the engine cover and began to check the condition of the vehicle. He soon entered his role.

Lynch looked at the others. "What are you waiting for? Maybe there's your car here, maybe not, but there's a car you like. Why don't you go and have a look or try?"

This sentence immediately moved these people. They wanted to move for a long time, but they were more implicit.

With Lynch's permission, they immediately thanked and took the key to study their car. Lynch looked at the truck drivers on the edge of the parking lot.

As it is said in this era, the highway is a place outside the law, especially the intercontinental highway. There is nothing to see on hundreds of thousands of kilometers of highway.

Even on the state highway, there is only a police car at the intersection of the highway. They will not actively interfere with things on the highway. It is the domain of truck drivers.

If someone can control most truck drivers in a state, it means that this person controls the logistics system of the whole state.

train?

Well, that's a good way to avoid truck drivers, but trains still face two problems.

Up to now, the Baylor Federation has no complete railway network that can radiate to all parts of the Federation. Due to the geological terrain, not all places are suitable for laying railways. At the same time, there is also the problem of loss of Railways in too barren places.

Coupled with the low utilization rate of the railway among the people, the railway company has become a thing of the past before it has developed and grown.

It has become the consensus of all people to lose money for the railway. However, the railway still exists. Generally speaking, there will be railway network coverage between several major cities in each state to facilitate the flow of population, but intercontinental railways are rare.

If Lynch controls the logistics in the state, he can hold some people's necks. Even if he doesn't do anything, it's very easy for him to get involved in some business in the future.

Even if he doesn't pay, he can get a certain degree of stock. Who let him control the transportation of logistics?

After waiting here for more than half an hour, cook packed up his tools and cleaned himself up. He said happily that the maintenance of the car was good. Except for some small problems that he had long thought about, there were not many big problems.

Other people have similar views on their own car or the car they choose. Lynch didn't talk about the price directly with the manager of the car store.

A brand-new truck like this needs about 30000 to 50000. Although the price is not particularly expensive, it is not affordable for truck drivers like cook.

Even now, these cars are used cars, and their prices are more than 15000 yuan.

After a cordial conversation with the car store manager and the car store owner, Lynch signed a special agreement with them. He will buy no less than 100 trucks in six months, and the price must be less than 12000 yuan.

The car shop is only responsible for providing vehicles for Lynch to choose. How to choose is Lynch's freedom.

If such an agreement had been put in front of the car shop boss five years ago, he would tear it up without hesitation, and then point to the door and roar "get out".

But now, with his eyelids jumping, he signed the agreement and thanked master Lynch for taking care of his business.

The pressure of vehicles means that the funds are in an impasse, and the times and events are changing every day.

In the face of a tragic future, having a sum of money in hand and dozens of cars are completely different situations.

Even if he doesn't earn much, even if he doesn't make money, it's a rare opportunity for the car shop boss to get rid of it. He must sign the agreement.

Immediately, Lynch asked cook to drive them to the club. After several days of arrangement, everyone in the club had reached an agreement with Kane and ended their career in the club.

As a boss and philanthropist, Lynch should comfort these people and give them recognition that they have worked for the club.

Before that, he had to go to Joe griman's side and buy a car. It must be mortgaged to the bank and serve himself with other people's money. This is the core of the "financial game".

Those who use their own money to serve themselves and take risks

Lynch never discriminates against people with intellectual problems. Instead, he thinks they are very cute!
