Chapter 172 The auto repair industry is taking over the sky

Jiangning, Feixiang Internet Cafe.

Starting at eight o'clock in the morning, hundreds of people came to the Internet cafe one after another, and the scene was even more lively than the day when the "free Internet access" was opened.

"what's the situation?"

Zeng Dexing, who went downstairs to buy breakfast, was immediately puzzled when he saw this strange scene.

He knows about Feixiang Internet Cafe.

This Internet cafe is open nearby, and he often goes there to do business, but as far as he knows, not many people are online now, and the Internet cafe's machines are not running all year round.

Why are there so many people here today?

And is it a bit abnormal to go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet this early in the morning? Who has nothing to do so early in the morning and goes to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet?

With a trace of curiosity, Zeng Dexing took the Xiao Long Bao he just bought and followed the crowd into Feixiang Internet Cafe to see if there was any special event today.

It turns out!

As soon as he entered the interior lobby of the Internet cafe, he was immediately attracted by a huge poster about three meters high and two meters wide.

[Jiangchuan Vocational and Technical Association’s First Automobile Repair Vocational Skills Competition and Outstanding Member Commendation Conference...]

What the hell?

The moment he saw this poster, Zeng Dexing, who prided himself on being well-traveled and well-informed, was stunned.

Auto repair skills competition?

Outstanding member recognition meeting?

These two activities are easy to understand. They should be an internal competition organized by professional associations. The main competition is auto repair technology.

But the problem is...

You are engaged in this kind of professional competition, and it is also an industry like auto repair. Why don't you find a repair shop or run an Internet cafe?

what?

Not only can you repair cars, but you can also repair computers?

"You don't understand this!"

Seeing the doubt and confusion on Zeng Dexing's face, a senior auto mechanic standing next to him smiled and said: "Most of the players participating in the competition today are apprentices."

"As apprentices, they have just studied for a short period of time, and they must not have mastered the skills well. How can we give them practice on real cars?"

"And with so many players signing up, we couldn't come up with that many real cars for the competition, so we simply used computer simulations."

"Is this okay?"

Zeng Dexing took a bite of the xiaolongbao and was shocked and said: "Using a computer to simulate car repairs, isn't it too childish?"

"Hey! What are you talking about..."

The old master was very unhappy, so he introduced Zeng Dexing to the simulation software they used in today's competition, which was also a game called "Speed ​​Rush".

After his introduction, Zeng Dexing generally understood it.

What?

There is actually such an amazing racing game that can simulate the most realistic car repair processes and failures. It is even used as designated teaching software by many vocational and technical schools.

"There's nothing to say about this game, just one word, awesome!"

The old master seemed very happy, giving thumbs up and praising: "I used to teach apprentices, and it was really tiring and annoying. I still couldn't teach such a simple question dozens of times."

"It's okay now! You don't have to do anything to teach the apprentice. Just buy him a game and let him play the basics on the computer and learn the theory."

"That what...Tianba Community! Ah, yes, there are many teaching posts and strategy posts in this community. As long as you have nothing wrong with your brain and follow these posts, you can basically become a qualified auto repair apprentice. Worked."

"Still an apprentice?"

"What if? Although the theoretical knowledge is sufficient, it lacks enough practical experience and needs to be tested in practice."

The old master said happily: "But usually, if you understand this game clearly, you can be promoted to a formal auto mechanic soon."

So magical?

After listening to the introduction by the master, Zeng Dexing immediately became very interested in the game "Speed ​​Rush".

There was something he didn't say.

That's why Zeng Dexing urgently needs a job now, a job that can earn money to support his family.

He didn't want to go to the electronics factory to drive screws, because he didn't think there was much future in that kind of repetitive and mechanical assembly line work.

He has wanted to learn a trade for a long time!

This skill refers to the skill of eating close to one's body. For example, chefs, carpenters, or electricians are crafts that are still popular no matter where they go or how many years have passed.

"Auto repair seems to be pretty good, right?"

Zeng Dexing thought so, so he asked the old master about some basic information about the auto repair industry, as well as average salary and benefits.

"If you're not afraid of being dirty or tired, then you can definitely come and give it a try. It just so happens that I'm also recruiting apprentices. What do you say, young man?"

"sure!"

Zeng Dexing didn't think much and immediately called him master, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.

While the two were chatting, today's game officially began.

Players from various districts and counties under Jiangning came to sit down in front of the computer. After warming up their hands, they began to repair the vehicles in the game at the referee's order.

These game vehicles are all of the same model, crashed on the same track, at the same speed, and at the same location.

In other words, this ensures that the situations encountered by each player are basically the same. There will be no situation where some cars are difficult to repair while others are easy to repair.

The game is timed!

The contestants are sorted according to the length of time, and the top five contestants can advance to the next round. After the second round, it is the most exciting final.

"So fast?!"

Zeng Dexing was shocked to see that after the first round of competition started, in just ten minutes, some players had already completed the competition.

"It's okay, above average!"

The old master's vision was much higher than his own. Although it took fourteen minutes to repair such an accident car, he was still not satisfied.

After all, if his estimate was correct, he could handle this kind of accident in 10 minutes at most if he had the car in his hands.

"ah?"

Zeng Dexing turned his head, looked at the master in disbelief, and asked: "Master, do you also play this game?"

"Why can't I play?"

The old master blew his beard and glared: "Do you think my old eyesight is too dim to play the games you young people play?"

"No...I just..."

Zeng Dexing hesitated and wanted to defend himself, but the old master waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know what you want to say."

"I definitely don't play this kind of video games. After all, I'm old and can't understand many of them."

"But "Speed" is different. This is my major, my old line of work! If I can't understand this, haven't my life been in vain all these years?"

"Besides, I don't just play this game to kill time, I also play it to make money..."

make money? !

The master's words completely stunned Zeng Dexing.

The master he just hired was at least in his fifties. For an old man of this age to play games, it was beyond his expectations, but what did he hear?

Can you still make money by playing games?

What's the meaning? The master is so old. He repairs cars during the day and works as a companion in the game at night. Or is he a game merchant or power leveler?

You are having a great time!

The master saw the strange look in his apprentice's eyes, and cursed angrily: "What are you thinking about? When I say make money, I mean opening a shop to repair cars in the game!"

"Open a shop to repair cars in the game?"

"yes!"

"The traditional catering industry is now connected to the Internet, and food delivery services have emerged. Then our car repair industry is also connected to the Internet, and we can repair cars in the game. Is this reasonable?"

Zeng Dexing: "..."

It made sense, but he was speechless.

Through the master's introduction, he finally understood what it meant to open a shop to repair cars in the game, and what the master meant by playing games to make money.

It turns out that in the game "Speed", the physics engine is very real and powerful, but the cars are fragile and will be damaged in collisions.

If your car breaks down, it needs to be repaired!

Thanks to the game's real-life physics engine, the process of repairing a car is no different from repairing a car in real life.

How can there be so many people who play games who know how to repair cars?

Since you don't know how to do it yourself, you have to find players who can repair cars, or find NPCs to help repair cars.

NPC cars are expensive to repair!

It is most cost-effective to ask players for repairs, and after the discussion is completed, you don't even need to pay game currency. Regular customers can just scan the code and pay cash.

"Two and five yuan at a time may not seem like much, but it doesn't take much time to repair a car in the game."

The old master explained to Zeng Dexing that when repairing cars in "Speed", the more experienced the repairman is, the faster the repair will be.

Because he can determine the cause of the fault at a glance and knows where to start quickly, senior car repairmen like him are very popular in the game.

Whether there are large or small accidents, repairing seven, eight or even ten vehicles in one hour is not a big problem.

Isn’t it easy to earn seventy or eighty yuan by working in front of the computer for an hour or two every night?

"You can earn so much!"

"This is how you add up to a small amount. Although the unit price is low, the quantity is large. The more regular customers you have, the more you earn."

The old master told Zeng Dexing that he had an old buddy who no longer worked in the repair shop and spent every day repairing cars in games.

As a result, his salary was higher than when he worked in a repair shop. It was easy to earn 10,000 yuan a month. If he worked hard, it was not difficult to earn 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month.

"Cow wow!"

When Zeng Dexing heard this, he felt extremely envious.

Can you earn so much just by playing games at home? This is great!

Car repair seems to be a really good industry. You can find jobs offline, and you can also do part-time jobs online. You can earn two incomes with one craft. It’s so cool!

"hey-hey!"

Seeing that the young man was fooled by his few words, the old master suddenly showed a mysterious smile.

Young people are still too young!

Although what he told was entirely true, there was one thing he did not tell Zeng Dexing.

That is the impact of the game "Speed" on the auto repair industry. It is not as simple as finding a part-time job online.

Are you here to learn auto repair now?

OK OK!

From this point of view, I have never suffered a loss, and I don’t know how cruel the future employment environment will be.

…

Chen Ba knew about the auto repair vocational technical competition held by Feixiang Internet Cafe and sponsored a bonus of 20,000 yuan.

Don't ask him why he sponsored.

I'm sorry to ask, because after all, he offended many people in the auto repair industry with "Speed".

How did you offend?

This has to be mentioned after "Assault" became popular, and community forums were full of auto repair tutorial posts, as well as introductory and advanced strategies.

The destructive power of this thing is not terrible. There are a lot of simple strategies and tutorials available online, but these strategies and tutorials are combined with the game "Speed" and the real physics engine in the game...

broken!

Now it has become a special software for auto mechanic training, allowing everyone to learn basic auto repair skills.

The auto repair industry suddenly has hundreds of thousands of newcomers who are proficient in theory. Although the practical operation is a bit rusty and clumsy, they can repair it well given enough time. What does this mean?

This means that the auto repair industry has suddenly become the most popular industry!

This is almost reaching the sky...

Auto mechanics with strong technical skills and rich experience can still hold their own and avoid losing their jobs.

But those new auto mechanics, or auto mechanic apprentices, who are just trying to make ends meet and have insufficient technical experience, have been sucked up to the point where they can no longer afford to earn a living.

In the past, car repair shops would give apprentices the opportunity to practice their skills, but now they basically don’t.

the reason is simple……

If you send an apprentice to work, the customer who comes to repair the car will tell you: "Forget it, with his skills, I might as well let me do it myself!"

Or, the customers were pointing and pointing, which made the apprentices very nervous and scared, resulting in them not being able to repair a car in a long time.

What's more, customers do it themselves and have to pay a working hour fee to the car repair shop after the work is completed. It is called "paid practice" and the car repair shop owner is embarrassed to accept it.

The number of players in "Speed ​​Race" is not that large, at best it is only in the millions.

There are seemingly millions of players, but they have minimal impact on more than a billion people. But is it possible that there are not many people in the auto repair industry itself?

The number of people working in the industry is worth 10 million!

Moreover, among these 10 million people, we have to exclude those practitioners who are trained as bosses and sit in offices but are not responsible for actual work.

After this calculation, the actual auto repair industry only has a few million people. Based on this scale, a sudden influx of one-third or one-quarter of the "auto repair Zhao Kuo" will definitely cause a huge impact.

“Jiangchuan’s auto repair stores opened 1,270 new ones in half a year!”

Xiao Lu couldn't help laughing and said: "It's too curly, it's too curly! I can't even imagine how these people would scold Brother Ba in private..."

Brother Ba has committed a heinous crime!

To create so many theoretically rich auto mechanics at once, the key is that "Fast" can continue to train new people, making the auto repair industry overcrowded.

If you don't scold him, who will you scold?

Car companies will thank Brother Ba and think "Speed" is a good game. But people working in the auto repair industry, especially auto mechanics whose jobs are threatened, don’t think so.

Destroying someone's financial path is like killing one's parents!

This sentence is a true portrayal of many people. Although "Fast" has not ruined people's financial opportunities, it is indeed disgusting.

“I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there are too many reports one day, resulting in the game being banned and removed from the shelves!”

Chen Ba sighed.

"Speed" has been reported too many times, which is a bit like "God's Grace Land".

It's just that "God's Grace Continent" is opening up a new track and eliminating a group of old guard. Although someone else’s cake has been touched, a new share of the cake has also been made up.

"Fast" has no new cake to fill, and it's normal to be disliked and reported.
