"Mr. Zhou, Miss Tang, please come this way."
A staff member led Zhou Yan and Tang Tang into a printing room.
"Stone, what are we doing here?"
Tang Tang didn't wait long outside when he saw Zhou Yan walking out with a stack of contracts, and was then brought here by a staff member.
Tang Tang is still a little confused now.
Did Zhou Yan negotiate the car rental so quickly?
"Print something."
Zhou Yan smiled slightly and patted his schoolbag.
There wasn't much in the schoolbag before, but now it's bulging. The contract that was just printed has obviously been stuffed inside.
"Mr. Zhou, what size do you think is more suitable?" The staff member was fiddling with a printer that looked very valuable at first glance, and turned to Zhou Yan and asked.
"Just a normal sign."
Zhou Yan came to the staff, picked up the marker on the table, and wrote a few lines of small words on a piece of white paper.
Hongcheng University, Hongcheng University of Science and Technology, Hongcheng Normal University, and Hongcheng University of Aviation were listed impressively, with a footnote of 20 yuan per person beside them.
Zhou Yan handed the blank paper to the staff, who nodded and started playing with the machine.
"Stone, is this really reliable?"
Tang Tang was still a little nervous, "We don't seem to have spent a penny."
"It's okay." Zhou Yan touched Tang Tang's little head and said with a smile, "Trust me, okay?"
"Zhou Yan, don't touch my head, I won't grow taller." Tang Tang pouted, but she still chose to believe Zhou Yan, stopped talking, and began to look at the printer.
The printer seemed to be a special model, and there was no white paper for printing. Instead, the staff took out a plastic whiteboard, which looked somewhat similar to the class cards in middle and high school.
Soon, a sign was made, with several lines of artistic black characters engraved on it, one of which took up almost half of the sign.
Qianhu University Town.
Printed below are Hongcheng University, Hongcheng University of Science and Technology, Hongcheng Normal University, and Hongcheng Hangzhou University.
Next to it, it says: 20 yuan/person.
Then, the staff found a wooden stick, and after a simple operation, it was connected to the sign.
"Mr. Zhou, do you think this is appropriate?"
The staff handed the completely formed sign to Zhou Yan's hand.
"Okay, when the time comes, please make a guiding passage out."
Zhou Yan nodded.
"Okay, we will arrange a special car to wait."
The staff member said with a smile.
"Trouble."
Zhou Yan said, looking at Tang Tang, "Let's go."
"ah."
Tang Tang hasn't reacted yet.
"Let's go and make a lot of money."
Zhou Yan picked up the sign and directly took Tang Tang's hand.
"Mr. Zhou, Miss Tang, walk slowly."
...
After walking out of the door, Tang Tang was still full of doubts.
She could still see the look of disbelief on the security guard's face. Even now, she was confused.
Tang Tang asked: "Shitou, can we rent a bus like this?"
"It's rented."
Zhou Yan nodded.
"Look at that area, it's our rental car."
Zhou Yan pointed to a row of idle buses in the distance.
Next to Hongcheng Station is the bus station.
These buses are parked at the exit of the underground corridor of Hongcheng Station and are particularly conspicuous.
"Then...that piece?"
Tang Tang looked at the dozens of buses parked and didn't react for a moment.
"Stone, how did you do it? We didn't spend a penny."
Tang Tang said blankly.
After all, she was just a student who had just graduated from high school. She had never seen such a battle.
If I had to explain, could it be that Zhou Yan used magic?
"The answer is in that contract."
Zhou Yan smiled and took out his Nokia and looked at the time. Well, it was three o'clock sharp.
"Is the time for freshmen reporting to be within these three days?"
Zhou Yan asked.
"Yes." Tang Tang nodded.
"Then if we can charter a bus that goes directly to Qianhu University Town, can we pick up many freshmen there?"
Zhou Yan asked again.
Tang Tang nodded again, but still a little confused, "But you didn't pay the rent?"
This is the crux of the problem. After all, Zhou Yan went in empty-handed and came out with a stack of contracts.
Looking at this row of idle buses, Tang Tang was even more confused. With so many buses, the rent was not cheap. Originally, Tang Tang was still thinking that if Zhou Yan didn't have enough money, she could use her to pay for a bus. pad.
But renting so many buses is not cheap, and even her two thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket.
"Actually, we don't need to pay anything directly. We will be responsible for collecting the money when the time comes."
Zhou Yan smiled.
The contract he signed with Lao Hutou was an agency contract, so there was no rent required.
"Collect... collect money?"
Tang Tang was startled, "You mean, we collect the money first and then give it to the bus company?"
"clever."
Zhou Yan nodded.
"But why bother? They can also send students for free. There is no need to go through us."
Tang Tang was still puzzled.
"Nature." Zhou Yan said two words.
"If you directly charge students to take the bus to go to university, the nature of the business will change. Making money from students can be a big or small matter. If you are not careful, you may be in trouble."
Zhou Yan explained, "With us as the middleman, they just rented a car and nothing else was involved. If the relevant departments track it down, nothing will happen to them."
"What about us?"
"We are students." Zhou Yan said with a smile, "In the end, if we want to characterize it, we can only be characterized as speculative students. The relevant departments will not hold us students accountable. What's more, we rent a car and let those who have just hit the flood Wouldn’t it be a good thing for the new students at the city station to avoid being ripped off by rogue drivers and take the bus directly?”
"They can't do this, but we can, because they are private companies and we are individuals."
Zhou Yan looked at the two-story small western-style building behind him and said, "This is why they chose to sign a car rental contract with me. If I guessed correctly, they should be looking for more agents."
"Why?" Tang Tang was stunned and asked subconsciously, but the next moment he realized it, Tang Tang's eyes lit up, "I understand, just like you said, they can't come in the open, even if If you want to make money from students, you have to take a detour."
"That's right."
Zhou Yan nodded, "I've told you a lot but you still don't understand. You just need to understand it this way."
"Zhou Yan, why do you know so much?"
Tang Tang suddenly looked at Zhou Yan steadily and asked.
"I read online novels."
Zhou Yan responded casually.
"Reading novels? Are there these things in novels?"
Tang Tang was stunned. She had never read novels, but she knew that Zhou Yan had always liked reading novels. Sometimes when Zhou Yan came to see him, he would still lie in bed and read novels.
What about cultivating immortals, what about overcoming tribulations...it's all a mess.
Perhaps, as Zhou Yan said, all his knowledge came from novels.
Zhou Yan didn't know that his casual perfunctory strengthened Tang Tang's belief in reading an online novel.
"Let's go pick up the guests."
Zhou Yan smiled.
"What a pick-up, it's so unpleasant." Tang Tang's face was disgusted.
