After bidding farewell to Secretary Fang and Wang Bo, he went to accompany Li Xuewei and Tao Leshi respectively before being let out. It was already dark when we took a taxi to the train station.
It is said that this time is the small peak of passenger traffic after New Year's Day. Our omnipotent Wang Bo was frustrated this time... because after waiting in a long queue and arriving at the train station ticket window, he was coldly told "No"
ticket!"
"No, sis, Jiangsu and Jianjiang are really not available. Tickets to Hunan and Hubei are available everywhere!" Even if Wang Bo has a good temper, how can he not be angry after waiting in line for almost half an hour but not buying a ticket?
.. I just had a phone call with Gao Mingxuan not long ago, and told him to get off the bus in Zhejiang, and then pick him up... In other words, the other end is still waiting for Wang Bo to buy the ticket, and then arrange a time to go tomorrow
Pick up station!
"I really ran out of tickets. Let me tell you, I planned to save two for my relatives. I didn't even buy one myself! All the tickets were sold out in a few minutes! Huh... next one!" the conductor said.
Expressionless, looking like you are doing whatever you want through the thick glass window.
"Okay, okay, go ahead and do what you have to do! Don't delay us! Where can I buy train tickets now..." Someone in the team behind Wang Bo sneered from time to time.
"Well... I'm too lazy to argue with you!" Wang Bo sneered and retreated from the window, smiling at the people in the team, "No more delay! I don't know what to do! I really don't know who you are on the same front as!"
"Friend, friend... where can I buy the ticket?" At this time, a short-sighted and thin figure came towards Wang Bo with a smile. From time to time, he glanced at the railway policeman in the distance with his eyes.
"Do you have one? Okay...I can go to Zhejiang or Suzhou or Hangzhou. It's a lot of money!" Of course Wang Bo knew that the person in front of him was the legendary scalper and ticket dealer.
"Yes! Yes... my friends are coming over, let's go over there and talk." The ticket seller's eyes lit up when he saw Wang Bo was more eager. He took out a train ticket from his pocket and waved it, then led the way to the pedestrian stairwell, because
Everyone goes up and down the escalator, so except for a few people passing by, there are very few people in the stairwell who are suitable for doing some transactions.
"Hehe... I'm in a bad mood today, so I'll take it out on you!" Wang Bo was grinning inwardly, but his face was pretending to be extremely innocent, and he was just being miserable.
"How are you selling this ticket? Are you sure it's true?" Wang Bo even pretended to be wary and looked around.
"Friend, how about adding 600 to each ticket?" The ticket seller smiled proudly, "Don't say no, there is no such store after passing this village. If you drive in two hours, if you don't buy it, I will go back and add 800."
It can be sold!!”
"What? Add six hundred? It's cheaper, get a discount, otherwise it's better to take a plane!" Wang Bo shook his head and pretended to be pitiful.
"Discount? That's it, add 500 yuan!! I can't study anymore! Brother, I have to pay for the ticket!" The ticket seller was very happy, and one swipe was worth 100 yuan.
"There are still two hours to drive? Then... let me see if the tickets are OK first?..." Wang Bo thought to himself, there are still two hours, don't worry.
"Hey... I can still deceive you with fake tickets! Add five hundred!!" The ticket seller was actually insulted by Wang Bo's suspicion... You must know that they can only make a few bucks by selling one ticket, so they are not guilty of selling it.
When the police catch you cheating people with fake bills, the nature will change!!
"Isn't this the first time I buy a ticket from you? Take care of it. Hehe..." Wang Bo carefully took the ticket and held it in his hand. He knew it was a real ticket. The train number and carriage number were written clearly.
Wang Bo then pocketed the ticket.
"Friends who take the money, I'll give you the real deal!" the ticket seller smiled heartily.
"What money do you want?" Wang Bo said with an incomprehensible smile.
"Hey, train tickets are just for money! What's going on?" The ticket seller was a little stunned for a moment, secretly cursing that he was the ticket seller, why did he feel like he was the one buying the ticket today?
"What's the train ticket price? You got the wrong person!" With the free ticket, Wang Bo was in a good mood and kept smiling.
"Oh my god...are you in trouble today? I'm telling you not to act like a coward, or else I'll ruin you!" The ticket seller's face changed and he cursed fiercely, "Oh my god, do you believe it or not?"
The whistle can call dozens of brothers in the whole square!? Take the money quickly, or I will deal with you when the police come!!"
"You are sick! You got the wrong person." Wang Bo simply pretended to be dumbfounded and ignored the ticket dealer at all.
"Fuck you! Damn..." The ticket seller raised his hand and punched Wang Bo without saying a word.
"Bang..." Wang Bo laughed, and punched the boxer punched by the ticket seller. However, the ticket seller's fist was no match for Wang Bo's fist. The speed, strength and hardness were several levels behind.
"Ouch..." The ticket seller felt like his fist was being pushed back at an incredible angle like the claws of a roasted chicken. The pain was unbearable, but before he could scream, Wang Bo grabbed him with a sliding step.
In his arms, he took his other hand and held his mouth.
"Damn it, why do we look like a gay couple..." Wang Bo smiled and pulled him to sit on the seat against the wall. At the same time, he reached into his arms and took out three more train pictures from his clothes.
ticket.
"You only have these few pictures on you? Tell me... tell me the story of your scalpers!" Wang Bo said with a smile, "I still have two hours to get on the bus, there is nothing to do if I stay... it's interesting, you
Just tell me!"
"What a fool I am... to do such a thing. As a ticket seller, someone robbed me of my ticket on the site and I had to wait for the train and chat with others to relieve my boredom..." The ticket seller was ready to die.
, now my fist hurts so much, as if it was broken, and I can't exert any strength in my body. I feel that my whole body is basically useless. Moreover, I am still in a corridor where almost no one passes by, I can only wait for my accomplices.
Or police rescue.
"What do you mean, let's start the lecture!!" Wang Bo smiled and put more force on his hands, squeezing the ticket seller's shoulders until they almost fell apart.
"Hey...Brother, brother, let me tell you, it won't work..." The ticket seller, a good man who refused to suffer the loss in front of him, started to shed tears and slowly told some stories behind the difficulty of buying train tickets during the Spring Festival.
It turns out that there are only two places to buy tickets in accordance with national requirements. The first is the ticket window of the train station, and the second is the regular agency that has obtained the qualification to sell train tickets. Tickets sold at the train station window cannot increase the price, and can only pay according to the face value of the ticket.
The sales agency can only charge a handling fee of 5 yuan per ticket. If you charge more than the amount, it is against the law. In the worst case, you will be disqualified as an agent, and in the worst case, you will be subject to administrative penalties.
In fact, the cost of the sales agency is not high. If you apply through normal channels, you can apply for 20,000 yuan, and the monthly fee is less than 2,000 yuan. Therefore, the sales agency fee of 5 yuan can fully guarantee its normal operation. However, since the railway is
Applying for a sales agency in a monopoly industry is a very complicated process, and the shady aspects of the process are shocking. In the words of ticket sellers, if you can apply for 500,000, you have found the right way. In many cases, you can’t even get the money.
applied for.
Therefore, each sales agency has spent a lot of money to obtain the sales qualification. In this case, then recovering costs and creating large profits is their only realistic idea. In the case of normal train tickets are not saturated, this is the case
The idea is difficult to realize, but the Spring Festival is different. It is a typical seller's market. Whoever has the ticket has the most in-demand products at the moment, so most sales outlets have made plans for the prime time of the Spring Festival. But
, because you can’t increase the price when selling to ordinary people, so you can only think of other ways. For example, find a familiar and reliable person...that is, the first-level scalper party! Of course, there are also scalpers who take the initiative to find sales agents.
of.
In this way, when you have a next customer, the sales agency will give him a large number of tickets, and during this period, each ticket will increase the price by 10 to 20 or even more. It is also worth noting that even if the sales agency prints tickets, you cannot buy them as you like.
You can print up to nine tickets at most, but you cannot print more, because if you print 10 tickets at a time, you have to report to the railway bureau. In other words, even if you are fast, you can print up to two hands, 18 tickets. However, there are many sales offices in the city.
How many? If you do this, the tickets will be sold out within one minute for one train. This is why most sales outlets have no tickets for sale during the Spring Festival.
This is why during hot times, the gay people who are first in line at the train station sometimes don’t even have a ticket to buy.
Then when the big scalpers accumulate a large number of tickets, those middle-level scalpers will stick to them like flies seeing rotten eggs. People seek profit, you should understand. These middle scalpers added another 30 to 50
Get a ticket from a big scalper for 1 yuan each, and then add 30 to 50 yuan to sell it to small scalpers at the station, on the roadside, or in a hotel. Finally, it will reach the people who really need the tickets. At that time, ordinary people may
It will be 100 or more higher than the ticket price. The more people handling it in the middle of a sentence, the more expensive the ticket you buy.
Therefore, it is of no use to the people that the railway department sometimes lowers fares. Whether the fares will increase during the Spring Festival or not has no practical significance to the majority of people who need to buy tickets to go home, because if they can't buy tickets, how can they get there?
High or low. Speaking of which, who will be the biggest beneficiary if the ticket price does not increase? It is the ticket sellers, because the cost is lower, but the profits will not be reduced, and the risks will also be reduced accordingly.
Of course, how many ticket sellers have nothing to do with the railway department? Therefore, it is the railway department that really benefits from the reduction in railway fares.
"I am at best a small and medium-sized scalper, so I only know the basic process of ticket scalping. I am still studying the ticket scalping method at the train station..." The ticket seller talked for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Begging for mercy, "Brother, raise your hands and let me go! I'm just here to make a living. The real reason why we can't buy tickets is not us...it's a matter of the system!"
"You mean we, the common people, have no way to buy regular-priced tickets during the Chinese New Year?" Wang Bo said with a smile.
"Yes... you are still an ordinary citizen. Brother, please forgive me. Your Eagle Claw Skill is at least a master level..." The ticket dealer continued in pain:
There is another very stupid way, that is to find a formal sales point that can issue tickets on the spot during the day. It needs to be a private one. Of course, if you ask at that time, you will definitely not have tickets. Remember where it is.
, contact number, business license and other data.
But be very careful. During the Spring Festival, all sales outlets will be extremely cautious, so be careful when remembering and then go and do what you should do. Wait, wait until you return there in the evening or midnight, you will find that although the door is tight
Turn off the light but the light is shining. Just go up and knock on the door. There is a trick to knocking on the door. Don't do it too hastily, as it will scare people. Then you will see the lights go out and make no sound. Don't go and keep knocking. It really won't work.
Just call the people inside and tell them that you have no ill intentions. You just want a ticket for a certain train on a certain day. Usually the people inside will pay attention to you, and you will get the ticket you want. Because you stay outside, their
I'm under psychological pressure, I'm afraid! If you don't leave, they won't dare to make a big deal about it, and they won't make any money. They will just give you the ticket in passing.
