Chapter 1085: Chapter 487: My Wealth Exceeds Your Imagination
Statistics show that people with good personalities generally have good personalities.
Personality is a very important attribute. A suitable personality not only guarantees the lower limit but also enhances the upper limit.
There are many historical anecdotes.
According to unofficial history, when Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times, it wasn’t as the official history states that he wanted a full-concession Meng Huo. You have to know, Zhuge Liang released Meng Huo instead of turning him into a destiny seat, how could it be a full concession?
Clearly, the historian who came to this conclusion hadn’t played Genshin Impact.
As for another theory in the official history suggesting Zhuge Liang wanted to repeatedly watch the defeated CG, that’s simply nonsense; even in the middle of nowhere, there must be a gallery that can directly play it.
Everyone, the reality is Zhuge Liang wanted to catch a Meng Huo with a suitable personality!
The first six Meng Huo he captured had stubborn personalities, and as everyone knows, stubbornness increases a Pokémon’s physical attack by 10% but reduces 10% of special attack, which didn’t fit Zhuge Liang’s subsequent cultivation plan for Meng Huo, so he released them.
In fact, when Zhuge Liang was drinking and chatting privately with Bai Bufan back then, he even said he wanted to catch a shiny Meng Huo, but unfortunately Wei Yan knocked over his seven-star lamp, and he really didn’t have time to grind.
Oh, Prime Minister TAT...
It’s the same for Lin Li now. To implement his subsequent plans more smoothly, he needs to select taxi owners with more suitable personalities from these wild taxi drivers.
Continuing to operate his phone, Lin Li is still observing, the energetic one just now definitely wouldn’t work.
Hmm, this one looks cunning, like the kind who holds grudges and likes to take advantage, also wouldn’t work.
This one with the Seoul Fu appearance, not good, absolutely not good.
These few seem alright.
After a simple selection and observation, Lin Li locked his bicycle in a corner where parking was allowed and walked towards his first target, knocking on the passenger side window.
At the taxi zone in front of high-speed rail stations, there are rules; taxis are queued to pick up passengers, not the kind that scrambles loudly to grab customers, so when the driver at the back of the line noticed Lin Li approaching, his first reaction was surprise.
But he immediately put down his cigarette, pulled down the window, and warmly asked: "Hey, young man, need a ride?"
Customers coming in actively aren’t violating the rules at all, so they can take the order.
"No, sir, I’d like to discuss something with you, make a deal."
The driver’s enthusiasm faltered and quickly crumbled, as if he already anticipated what Lin Li wanted to say, he replied with a perfunctory smile:
"Young man, just forget it, I’m waiting to take orders, no time for these."
Lin Li took out his phone, extended it through the window, and scanned the payment codes hanging with Alipay on one side and WeChat on the other on the roof of the car.
"Beep beep."
The driver glanced at his phone.
The driver showed a charitable smile: "Come in and talk, it’s so cold outside, how can you stand outside, come sit inside, I’ll turn on the warm air conditioning for you."
Money or not, it doesn’t really matter; the main thing was the driver seeing Lin Li looking much like his unborn son, and the sense of care suddenly overflowed.
Cash certainly still works wonders.
Lin Li smiled and opened the door to sit inside.
"Uncle, you don’t need to queue, we might need to negotiate for a while." Lin Li watched the car in front move forward a spot, then said to the driver.
"No problem." The driver happily agreed, he hadn’t been waiting long, there wasn’t much sunk cost in queuing.
"Go ahead, young man, what are you planning to discuss?" After driving the car to a nearby temporary parking space, the driver curiously asked.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Bai... Lin Li,"
Lin Li initially subconsciously wanted to give his alias but quickly realized he would need to show his driver’s license after the deal, so he changed his words:
"And recently, I’m working on a research report, the specific content of the report isn’t important; explaining it would take a long time, but generally what’s important is I need a set of data now, the data content is roughly about me, as a male driver in the taxi or ride-hailing industry, encountering the real general circumstances with female passengers..."
When in doubt, do research for the report.
This reason works really well, change the skin and it can be used to fool people, the driver in front of him and when working on deliveries and dating tasks felt the same, listening in a daze.
"...So, what I want to discuss with you is, in the upcoming period, I’ll be the driver, helping you drive this taxi, carrying some female or female-inclusive passenger combinations, observing and fulfilling the data I need.
Of course, all passenger-generated income during this time will belong to you.
I know my efficiency couldn’t possibly be higher than yours, you’d lose money this way, so every hour, whether I take an order or not, as long as I use your car, I’ll pay certain economic compensation, currently I’m considering a base income of 80 per hour, even if a full hour isn’t reached, it counts as an hour.
Then if you trust me, you can do your own thing, go home and rest or whatever, but if you don’t feel assured, you can sit in the passenger seat and keep an eye on me the whole time, that way nothing could go wrong.
How about it?"
After presenting his draft completely, Lin Li looked expectantly at the driver.
Driver Du Zhuo’s mouth slightly opened, scratching his head.
Although Lin Li explained very clearly, there’s still some surprise and eccentricity felt.
