Lin Qiu listened carefully to Zhou Xiaotong's serious advice for him. A strange look suddenly flashed in his black eyes, and his eyes were gentle and watery, falling on the figure of the girl next to him.
A ball of flame seemed to be burning in his eyes, unabashedly revealing his fiery meaning.
Zhou Xiaotong was still unaware, staring ahead, moving forward with cheerful steps, still mumbling: "If you are really determined to run this travel agency project, the place and people are indispensable, you can choose the location Discuss the selection with Mr. Zhang, what are you going to do with that person?"
Lin Qiu lowered his head and showed a confident smile to Zhou Xiaotong: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already decided where to recruit tour guides. Just take a guess first!"
Zhou Xiaotong stamped her feet pretending to be angry, and said with a hint of grievance: "Why do you ask me when you already have an idea? I'm not a roundworm in your belly, how do I know what you think?"
Zhou Xiaotong thought to herself, Lin Qiu didn't tell me anything and still asked me to guess. Isn't this embarrassing? We are still students, and we are new here. Where do we know any tour guides? We can't start training now?
I was thinking this in my heart and asked the question unconsciously.
After hearing Zhou Xiaotong's words, Lin Qiu's eyes suddenly glowed with golden light, and she said directly: "Xiaotong, you are so smart. I originally planned to directly recruit local people and college students who are familiar with Kyoto routes to serve as tour guides. With your reminder, I immediately had an idea!”
Now it was Lin Qiu's turn to talk. Lin Qiu, who was awakened by Zhou Xiaotong's words, looked happy.
"We can recruit a few local veterans who love to play, and the rest can be hired by college students to work part-time. We are in Kyoto, and the most indispensable thing is college students.
Moreover, college students are young, smart and motivated, and their wages are more than a bit cheaper, so we can greatly save costs. You are truly my treasure trove of wisdom! "
Lin Qiu, who suddenly became enlightened, looked at Zhou Xiaotong happily. Zhou Xiaotong was confused by Lin Qiu's sudden enthusiasm, but she was also very happy that she could help Lin Qiu, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.
"Without further delay, let's go to Leper's hotel now to discuss the next work tasks and formulate the next work plan, and grab something to fill our stomachs by the way. You haven't eaten, have you?"
Zhou Xiaotong deliberately blocked Lin Qiu's mouth with one sentence, "I'm very picky about eating. If you want to treat me to dinner, forget it. I'm afraid of embarrassing you."
She wanted to see Lin Qiu's next reaction.
Lin Qiu quickly noticed her thoughts and said calmly, "I know you like to eat sweet and sour dishes. The sweet and sour pork ribs made in that store are delicious. You will definitely like it."
Zhou Xiaotong felt that Lin Qiu was tempting her with food, and she pouted, but with a smile in her eyes, she didn't really want to embarrass Lin Qiu in the first place.
Lin Qiu continued to seduce: "And there are also many authentic Beijing snacks. The locals like to go there. I will take you to taste the authentic Beijing food."
"Since you said that, I'm going to be rude. I want to eat all the signature dishes and the most expensive meals in Le Fong's restaurant. Can you afford to treat me?" Zhou Xiaotong continued to play off his temper.
It seemed that she did it on purpose. Lin Qiu looked up and looked directly into Zhou Xiaotong's eyes, and replied dotingly and seriously, "Can you finish eating so much? You told me before that you should cherish every meter and every dish and not waste it. If you If you can really finish it, then I’ll treat you and let you eat everything you want.”
Unexpectedly, he took his casual joke seriously, and Zhou Xiaotong felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
She touched her earlobe and gave herself a step down, "I'm just kidding, how can I finish that table of dishes? I'm not a pig."
After a pause, she took Lin Qiu's hand and said, "I'm not kidding you anymore. Let's go find Le Fang and the others. They will be busy in time for dinner later."
Lin Qiu's face turned red the moment Zhou Xiaotong took his hand. He didn't hear what she said at all, and just followed her footsteps blankly.
Zhou Xiaotong's direct contact always made Lin Qiu's heart flutter.
He shook his hand slightly, and seeing that Zhou Xiaotong did not resist, he held her little hand tightly. After careful observation, he saw that her whole ears were so red that they were about to burn, but she was still pretending to be calm.
Lin Qiu just held Zhou Xiaotong's hand tightly, and walked hand in hand to Le Fang's restaurant with a red face and red ears.
He ordered a table of signature dishes and called Monkey. They gathered together to discuss how to select a Feng Shui treasure place for the travel agency to serve as a fixed business location and the specific matters of selecting a tour guide.
After thinking about it, buying a house is not realistic. As long as it was in the 1990s, this path would not even be considered.
Because from now until the mid-to-late 1990s, welfare housing was still the mainstay. Commercial housing was pitiful and the prices were incredibly high, let alone in Kyoto where land is at a premium.
Take Kyoto today as an example. In the early 1990s, house prices were about more than 2,000 yuan per square meter. At the same time, most local workers' monthly income was less than 200 yuan, and house prices were more than ten times the monthly income.
As a fledgling college student, Lin Qiu's school subsidies plus his own money from gambling and stock trading were not enough to buy a commercial house in Kyoto.
The salary plus bonus for lepers and monkeys is at most 30 to 40 yuan a month, and their total annual income is only 300 to 400 yuan. They cannot even afford a half-square-meter house in Kyoto.
What's more, there are currently no commercial housing construction projects in the current precision. Even if you have money, you can't find a place to buy one.
You don’t know how difficult things are until you have experienced them firsthand. I thought the project of opening a travel agency was simple, but when I actually put it into practice, I realized that it was indeed difficult!
Especially in the era when food stamps are needed to buy food in some places, it is unrealistic to buy a commercial house!
Lin Qiu sighed: "I really don't know how to be a master. I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. This incident has really given me some experience."
At this time, Zhang Yuansheng arrived late. As soon as he entered the private room door, he saw a group of little guys looking sad and miserable, and he couldn't help laughing.
Lin Qiu had always behaved relatively maturely before, but suddenly seeing his melancholy look, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
He asked: "What happened? Why are both of them crying?"
Monkey couldn't help but curled his lips and said: "We are discussing the appearance of a travel agency, but the housing prices are too high now. We are not yet able to buy a commercial house." Although Mr. Zhang may be able to afford the money, But they are not yet sure that this job will definitely make a lot of money, and it will be bad if they don't make money and end up in debt.
"That's it. I've already figured out how to deal with it."
Zhang Yuansheng said this, is that a joke?
Zhou Xiaotong and Lin Qiu looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity, and they looked at Zhang Yuansheng in unison.
"I happened to be at the train station. There was a house vacant at the entrance of the station. It was either a commercial building or an ordinary residential building. There was too much traffic there, and people coming and going couldn't rest well, so that house was vacant. .
Let's go there sometime and see if we can use it. I'll decorate it if it can be used. "
