It all started from a conversation between Zang and Liu Run, a department manager for Microsoft (China) Corp., when Liu took Zang’s taxi in the middle of March. Liu posted an article on his blog noting how Zang had a monthly income of 8,000 yuan (almost twice the average income of local taxi drivers) by choosing the time he works, his customers and routes to control costs. Zang said he is a happy driver, good at finding pleasure in work. Liu’s article was later linked to other websites and caused a sensation. According to Beijing Youth Daily, Liu invited Zang to Microsoft to give a lecture to some 50 employees. The 45-minute speech was interrupted eight times by hearty applause.展开更多
