Chapter 188 I wish you never have money to fall in love
The driver watched them all come out empty-handed, and then looked at He Huan.
"Little White Dragon..."
A tourist wanted to ask if it was really three times more expensive. He Huan hurriedly said: "Go up and take a seat! Let's go have lunch first and then go to Stone City in the afternoon."
Lower your head and send a message in the group: Don’t discuss buying and selling in the car. If you have any questions, ask in the group.
The tourists looked at their mobile phones, then at the little white dragon standing at the door of the car, and shut up obediently.
Many tourists don't know that drivers also get kickbacks, and the ratio is almost the same as that of tour guides. He doesn't want to estrange the relationship with the driver. If the driver finds out that he doesn't let tourists buy, how will they get along with each other in the next few days?
But it was three times more expensive, and it wasn't really that good of a tea. He just didn't know about it. If he knew about it, he couldn't bear to watch tourists spend a lot of money to buy something of such low quality.
After the tourists got on the bus and took their seats, He Huan and the driver returned to the reception center to collect parking fees.
Tourists looked out the car window and asked, "Why are they going back again?"
A tourist said: "My mother used to join a tour group and said that it seemed like there were kickbacks for the tour guides and drivers."
"But we didn't buy anything!"
"I don't know!"
The tourists looked at their backs and saw He Huan stroking the driver's back and saying something.
The elder brother said: "Xiao Bailong asked us not to discuss it, so let's not discuss it in front of the driver. This is part of the itinerary. If we didn't buy it, it would be more difficult for him to do it."
"Yeah. Little White Dragon is great! But it's really dark here! It's three times more expensive!"
He Huan was indeed explaining to the driver.
The driver asked: "Why didn't the tourists buy any?"
"Young people like to drink milk tea but don't like to drink these teas, and they often shop online. There are so many Pu'er teas sold online, and they know the basic price. If it sounds too expensive, they won't buy it."
"Oh." The driver nodded.
He Huan was also helpless. He didn't know whether this old man believed it or not. It must not have been the first time for him to take young tourists. In fact, sometimes young tourists are more shy and have a thin skin.
Originally, drivers were supposed to earn as much as they deserved. But when they got involved in the tourism industry, things changed.
The tourist bus company no longer pays the driver a salary, and the cost of the fare and gas is paid to the travel agency. This cost does not include labor costs. There is no labor cost in this industry. They are not human beings. In the end, both the tour guide and the driver have to make money from the tourists.
It’s hairy.
Not only do they have to feed themselves, they also have to fill the shortfalls of travel agencies and fleets, and they also have to create profits.
Fortunately, the cost of their group has been balanced. He has a guide and the driver is paid, so there is not so much pressure.
But as the senior brother said, those who come to work as tour bus drivers have a gambling mentality, and of course they hope to get more kickbacks.
After entering the reception center, He Huan signed with the driver and took the parking fee of 200 yuan.
There is a capitation fee, so this kind of tour doesn’t exist anymore.
Although there is a head fee and parking fee, any rebates are shared equally between the tour guide and the driver in addition to the travel agency.
Most implement a 4:2:2 ratio.
The capitation fee and parking fee are not all paid by the tour guide and driver. They must be handed over to the travel agency, and their part is settled after the group is finished.
But for this group, there are rebates that the travel agency needs to share, but the parking fee will not be shared with them.
He Huan gave the parking fee to the driver. The driver looked at him and said, "Don't you want it?"
He Huan patted him on the back and said, "Driving is hard, just hold it."
The driver nodded and put two hundred cash into his bag. Nowadays, many rebates, parking fees and head fees are still settled in cash.
This is a common practice, but it is not so upright. Electronic payment is not that convenient.
He Huan knew that with only two stores in seven days, he could get 400 in parking fees, which was not much.
I was also a little worried whether he would have any objections.
When he got in the car with the driver, the tourists all looked at him obediently. He Huan said: "We are going to Stone City for lunch now, and then we will go to Stone City!"
Tourist restaurants are always full during Golden Week, and tour guides rush to serve food.
He Huan arranged for eight tourists to sit at a table and quickly went to the window.
Team meals are fixed.
As the dishes were being handed out one after another, the tour guide crowded at the window.
With current prices, it’s hard to make money in tourist restaurants, so there are very few waiters, so tour guides are used as waiters.
In order to allow tourists to eat early, tour guides can only serve as waiters.
The tourists all looked at the little white dragon running around.
I couldn't help but said: "Isn't this too hard? Why do we need the tour guide to serve the food?"
He Huan didn't even have time to notice their sympathy, so he ran around and finally finished serving two tables of food.
Looking at the tourists, "Eat quickly! Why are you looking at me?"
The tourists all laughed and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Little White Dragon!" They lowered their heads and ate obediently.
After all the tourists had eaten, He Huan walked to the table. In the past, in order to allow tour guides and drivers to bring tourists, the restaurant would open a small stove for the tour guides and drivers, and the dishes were better.
Later, prices skyrocketed. Several decades later, the meal price was still 20 yuan. This was still an increase. It was ten yuan before.
Just these ten yuan, we have to divide it between the travel agency and the tour guide. How many yuan are left? What kind of things can the tourists eat?
The restaurant gave the tour guide two bucks, and the tour guide was complained about. In order to make tourists happy, the tour guide really didn't want to earn the restaurant's two bucks. Old tour guides would usually add their own money to add food to the tourists.
Restaurants are also much more demanding on drivers and tour guides. Not only do tour guides have to work as waiters, but the food companions will only have worse food than tourists!
No face left!
He just wanted to be full and not to eat well. He Huan sat down and took a few bites when his cell phone rang.
Looking at Liu Yinyin and then at the driver, He Huan got up and walked outside.
It turned out that He Huan left, and Liu Yinyin's colleagues also told her about the bizarre incident just now. The tourists were originally planning to buy it, okay, but suddenly everyone started looking at their phones, and then Xiao Bailong came in and took them away.
Liu Yinyin frowned, remembering that He Huan picked up the phone, turned around and took the tourists out.
Outside the restaurant, He Huan picked him up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"He Huan!" Liu Yinyin said loudly, "Friendship cannot be bought and sold! I have liked you for four years! Just forget it after being rejected by you twice. What's the point of not buying the promised tea? Am I that annoying to you?"
"It has nothing to do with you, it's just that your tea is too expensive."
"Aren't I going to give you a refund?"
"This has nothing to do with rebates. The tea that costs one or two hundred outside is eight hundred here, and yours is just ordinary tea. What kind of ancient tree in the mountains?"
Liu Yinyin paused for a moment, "He Huan! Do you know why I came to the interview through Qingfeng in the first place?"
He Huan remembered that when he was a junior in college, the largest tourism group in Yunzhou and the Department of Tourism jointly organized a tea art class. All the instructors recommended were beautiful women.
But that was just the preliminary round, and later all the beauties also participated in the interview.
During the interview, the interviewer asked: "Why do you think you can be a tea sommelier?"
Liu Yinyin said: "Because I am beautiful."
This interview and Liu Yinyin's confident and straightforward answers also made Liu Yinyin's reputation as a tourism department student famous throughout Spring City University.
There are so many beauties in the travel industry, and she is the one who strives for them all.
"You said it's because you are beautiful." He Huan said.
"It's said in the department, but I said it a lot at the time. I came to apply for a tea art job to sell tea!" Liu Yinyin said, "Do you know what another girl said?"
"To spread the tea culture." Liu Yinyin said with a smile, "The whole interviewer in the room laughed, but she barely passed because she was pretty. Later, she didn't pass the internship period because she didn't know how to get customers to buy it.
Tea.
Where do guests drink tea instead of drinking it? Where do they buy tea instead of buying it? Why should they buy it from you? Why should they sit in front of you and taste tea? Is what they are tasting tea? Spreading tea culture is hilarious!"
"You really impressed me!" He Huan said.
Liu Yinyin paused for a moment, "You are still so naive! I wish you will never have money to fall in love! I wish you will never be lost!"
"Delete each other."
"are you crazy!"
"Dudu..."
Liu Yinyin took off her phone, saw that it had been hung up on, and sent another message: Are you sick?
Tip: The message failed to be sent, please add the other party as a friend first.
Liu Yinyin stomped her feet angrily, "He Huan is this crazy! He will always be lost! He will never have money to fall in love! Ah!"
Siluke
He Huan stood outside the restaurant. In fact, sophomore Liu Yinyin had it in her address book. She had always been frustrated by her classmates, but now she finally deleted it without any burden.
He is naive! Are the tea masters of the travel company spreading tea culture?
After standing outside for a long time, He Huan turned around and Long Teng stood behind him.
"Are you full?" He Huan looked at her.
"I just ate too many pastries."
He Huan smiled.
“The food is not delicious either.”
He Huan had no choice. Even if it was a high-quality group, the group meal would be just like that. Tourist restaurants are not designed to make delicious food. The main thing is to make it acceptable to tourists from all over the world.
Therefore, it is called bland and tasteless.
It is simply impossible to eat local specialties in tourist restaurants.
Team meals are not meant to make you eat well. Being full means you have a conscience. At least they have ten dishes and one soup for these two tables.
"That's how the team meal is." He Huan said honestly, "If you don't think it tastes good, you can bring your own snacks."
"Aren't you going in to eat?" Long Teng looked at him.
He Huan was made to lose his appetite by Liu Yinyin again, "I don't think it tastes good either." He picked up his phone and checked with the hotel for the night to confirm the room.
Looking at Long Teng, "Are you going to have a single room tonight?"
"Hmm." Long Teng took out his phone, "How much? I'll make it up."
He Huan's eyes widened. This young lady suddenly became so reasonable?
"I said I would stay alone from the beginning, but I signed up for the tour late, and your customer service said the hotel was too crowded during the Golden Week, so I had to stay with others."
"It's okay, I'll contact you first."
He Huan ran in again and asked the eldest brother how he would live at night. The eldest brother said that living with a light bulb was fine and that he would live in a standard room from now on.
Now the hotel you have contacted can keep the original number of rooms, and you don't need to get an extra room.
He Huan confirmed the room with the hotel.
Long Teng paid for the single room for the entire trip, including last night. He Huan returned it to his eldest brother.
One step back and one step up, so there is no need to mess around with adjustments.
After everyone had eaten, He Huan took the tourists to the car, gave the driver a pack of cigarettes, and headed to Stone City.
Only when he returned to the scenic spot, he showed a sincere smile.
Stone City is already hot, and the Golden Week is even hotter.
He Huan let the tourists rest under the eaves and queued up at the team window to buy tickets.
Even in the afternoon, the queue was very long.
The tourists were looking at the little white dragon queuing up under the sun under the shady eaves. A girl said: "Little white dragon is working so hard! I didn't seem to see him eating at noon!"
"Um!"
Just as the team was slowly moving forward, an Ah Hei brother ran out and ran back, "Ahhhh! The little white dragon is back!"
Then, a group of Ah Hei Ge Ashima ran out, and Li Mao also came out.
He Huanxiao looked at them, "There are so many of you, why are you embarrassed to watch me lining up? Didn't you say that I am coming back or going home?" This chapter has been completed!
