I'm almost 45 and the system is just coming

Chapter 11 Buying a Taxi
The wife, who was worried about something, woke Zhou Tian up early the next morning. After sending the child to school, the two went to the car dealership. Accompanied by the dealership staff, they chose two blue taxis.

The taxis from the car dealership are actually not expensive, especially since they chose two electric cars instead of traditional gas trucks. The two cars only cost nearly 200,000 yuan.

Of course, some of the procedures still need to be handled by the taxi company. After all, any transfer or sale procedures must go through the taxi company.

By the time everything was done, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

After having a meal in the city, they hurriedly drove the taxi back. However, when they came back, they were shocked to find that their family did not buy a parking space.

However, compared to buying a taxi, the price of a parking space is not high. After bargaining with the property, the two finally spent 23 to buy two parking spaces.

When they got home, they were so tired that they didn't want to move at all.

Sitting slumped on the sofa, his wife Wang Fen couldn't help but complain: "I didn't expect that we prepared so much, but it was still not thorough enough!"

Obviously, today's experience made my wife a little tired.

"Nothing is perfect in life. If we were really thoughtful about everything, we would have become rich a long time ago!"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but smile and said comfortingly.

"At least we have accomplished one of the most important things in our lives. Now that we have two taxis for rent, maybe we won't be so short of money anymore!"

For him, he has never had such a strong desire for money, but in fact, everything in society cannot be separated from the support of money.

Now, at least he had two taxis, and he felt that the burden on him was a little lighter.

"Are you still short of money?"

Wang Fen couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhou Tian, ​​changed into a comfortable position, and said, "Today alone, we spent 44 yuan on the documents and taxi, and 23 yuan on the parking space. If you do the math, we spent 67 yuan today, which means that the copyright of your novel has basically been used up! It's like going back to the days before liberation!"

You don't know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked. Wang Fen originally thought that 78 yuan would be enough to last for a while, but now it is basically gone in just one day. Thinking about it now, she can't help but show a trace of heartache on her face.

As for regrets, she didn't have any. After all, she was not an ignorant person. How could she not understand that compared to buying a taxi, the one who put the money in the bank was the biggest fool.

"It's okay. Only money spent is money. What's more, with a taxi, we can live a more comfortable life in the future. Besides, I don't have to write only this one novel. I will write more in the future. And the basic salary of our family plus yours and mine is at least doubled. This is a long-term plan!"

Zhou Tian said nonchalantly, even if his wife didn't know, he knew it, this was just the rebate for his two months of writing, and judging from the trend, the number of clicks on the novel this month would be more than last month. But think about it, the more words a novel has, the more people will read it.

If there were only tens of thousands of words, basically no one would care, and he himself was the same. Moreover, as the plot of the novel gradually reached its climax, he believed that the number of clicks would increase in the future, and he would get more money in rebates.

After resting for nearly an hour, he got up and walked to his laptop and started typing. After all, novels are his only source of income now, and no matter how tired he is, he cannot stop writing novels.

As soon as he opened the novel website, he heard a vibration from his mobile phone. Zhou Tian's heart paused for a moment, then he picked up the book and started reading without changing his expression.

“ICBC: Your account number 5644 received RMB 4 on April 12!”

"Is this the payment for this month's article?"

When Zhou Tian saw the text message, this thought flashed through his mind. After thinking about it, he went directly to the author's backstage and opened the royalty income. Sure enough, it clearly recorded his income for this month, which was indeed 8975 yuan. Relieved, he looked up at his wife and said, "Wife, this month's royalty has arrived. Do you want it? If not, then I won't transfer it."

His wife had already spent a lot of money today, so she might not look down on the 8,900 yuan. However, when she heard this, she suddenly stood up and came to Zhou Tian's side.

"Quick, show it to me, how much was distributed?"

As she said that, she looked directly at the page on the computer without waiting for Zhou Tian to get up. When she saw the amount of royalties posted on the author's backstage, a smile flashed across her face. She hugged him and said, "Honey, that's great. You can earn so much every month now, which means that our combined monthly income is more than 10,000 yuan. If we rent out the taxi, then our monthly income will be able to reach 30,000 yuan, right?"

As she spoke, a hint of longing appeared on her face.

Zhou Tian looked at his wife's daydreaming face and said in frustration, "What are you dreaming about? At most, it's just over 20,000 yuan, or even over 30,000 yuan. What's more, my novel writing is not stable. Who knows how much money I can make next month? In my opinion, taxi drivers still make more money. By the way, let's rent out the taxi as soon as possible. After all, the sooner we rent it out, the sooner we can earn money!"

"Just make me angry!"

The wife couldn't help but pat him, but after thinking about it, she felt that what her husband said was right, so she couldn't help but say, "Then we'll find someone right away, but we don't know what the current market situation is for renting a car, so why don't we ask Dong Cheng and Lu Peng?"

Like Lu Peng, Dong Cheng is a childhood friend of Zhou Tian. Compared to Zhou Tian and Lu Peng's unsuccessful careers, Dong Cheng works in a state-owned enterprise. However, work is work, and he also drives a sports car after get off work.

"That's fine!"

When buying the car, Zhou Tian did not ask the two for help, but now it should not be difficult to ask them to find a car rental!
Having said that, Zhou Tian called the two of them separately. Sure enough, the two people who answered the phone explained the rental price to them clearly.

According to the current taxi market in DT City, the fare is 100 yuan during the day and 80 yuan at night. In other words, one taxi can earn 180 yuan a day, while two taxis can earn 360 yuan.

But there is one thing that both of them said. When renting out the car, it is best to sign a contract with the lessor. After all, the car is not yours, and others will not feel bad about it.

After listening to the two people's opinions, Zhou Tian and his wife Wang Fen searched the Internet for a contract that they thought was most suitable. Then his wife Wang Fen turned around and left home to print it.

Only after watching his wife leave did Zhou Tian feel relieved. Now he had finally settled the affairs at home and it was time for him to start taking care of his own things.

Before he could continue typing, his cell phone rang again. When he saw Lu Peng's name on it, he knew that he could no longer hide the fact that he bought a car.

Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, Lu Peng's voice was heard on the phone asking, "Xiao Zhou, did you buy a car?"

"Bought it!"

Zhou Tian did not hesitate and said directly.

"You kid, why didn't you tell me before buying a car? I was wondering why you kept asking me about buying a taxi more than a month ago? I see!"

"If you had told me earlier, I could have used my connections to save you money. It's too late to buy everything now! Really! Oh!"

Listening to Lu Peng's complaints, Zhou Tian smiled and said, "What are you talking about? The reason why I didn't pass you is because I didn't want you to owe me a favor. You know, it's easy to pay back money, but it's hard to pay back a favor!"

"Besides, it's just a matter of buying a car and the paperwork. It's not that difficult. What I'm worried about now is how to rent it out. I can't just buy a car and leave it in the garage to get moldy!"
