"I'm really not her boyfriend." Dong Qiangqiang argued in his mouth, but in his heart he was worried that the description would get darker and darker, so he quickly changed the subject, "You just said that tour guides should also master various methods to increase their income. Can you give a few examples? Really? I am Bai Ding, I have no idea at all."
Lao Bai stopped laughing: "Once you start working as a tour guide, many inconspicuous chores will pop up. Although these things may seem insignificant, they will have a real impact on your income. For example, here (Germany) Many tour guides are drivers and guides. They are responsible for both driving and explaining. In fact, this is easy to understand. One less person to work means one less person to share money. But since you are a driver, you must inevitably consider renting a car. . Where to rent a car becomes particularly important. There are many small car rental companies in Germany, and the cost of renting a car will be very low when you catch the discount. I rented a Volvo for only 10 marks a day. Although the car is a bit old, it is safe Absolutely no problem. Once you control costs, whatever you save is profit.”
Dong Qiangqiang nodded in agreement: "That's true. A famous international architect once said something similar, 'The devil is in the details'. I think it means something similar to you."
"For example, if you drive from Germany to other European countries, should you rent a diesel car or a gasoline car. Although diesel is cheaper than gasoline, the rental of diesel cars is more expensive, and it also depends on your destination. If you are driving from Germany If you go to the Netherlands, it is definitely more cost-effective to fill up with diesel in Germany. But if you are going from Germany to Southern Europe, such as Greece or Spain, you only need to fill up with a little fuel in Germany, because diesel is cheaper there. In addition, it is also going from Germany In Belgium, whether you take the highway, the national highway or the small road, the fuel consumption will be very different depending on the distance. Once you pay attention to details such as these and adopt the most economical solution, your profits will be very considerable."
Dong Qiangqiang's head was now filled with all kinds of keywords. He wanted to go back to his room to sort it out. However, Lao Bai started talking and talked nonstop. He couldn't bear to interrupt the other party's enthusiasm, so he could only scratch his head. , record hard in the free space in your mind.
Lao Bai continued: "But if you are affiliated with a certain travel agency, in addition to deducting your project introduction fee, it will also assign you a tour guide. On the one hand, this role will cooperate with your work, and on the other hand, it will On the one hand, they are also monitoring you to prevent you from converting the tourists of these travel agencies into your own customers. At the same time, you have to obey his arrangements. If he says where to take the guests to eat, shop and visit scenic spots, you have to obey. If you are the kind of person who has a difficult time If you have a communication and compromising personality, it is very likely that you will not place another order. This stage is a must for all new tour guides.”
Dong Qiangqiang understands that this is the process for novices to pay tuition, and there will be more or less similar situations in every industry.
“If you are responsible for driving and explaining at the same time, there is another advantage, that is, you don’t have to discuss with the guide where to take the guests to eat or shop. This will virtually improve your efficiency and reduce conflicts and time costs, so many tour guides are willing to One person holds two positions.”
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: If it were me, I would definitely be willing to fly solo, but I'm afraid the travel agency won't.
"Well, thank you for telling me so many inside stories." Dong Qiangqiang dug out a bottle of Black Cube from the cabinet while listening, which was unopened the last time he and Lei Lanting got together. He held up the bottle and looked at Lao Bai. Lao Bai nodded in acquiescence, indicating that he could drink, and Dong Qiangqiang filled it for him.
"Do you still have any questions but are embarrassed to ask?" Lao Bai suddenly asked after clinking glasses with Dong Qiangqiang. He has been a tour guide for many years and is very familiar with the ability to observe people's emotions. How could he not see Dong Qiangqiang's thoughts?
Dong Qiangqiang looked at the wine in the glass and smiled sheepishly: "If I have been working for a year and want to go it alone, how should I find high-quality customers?"
"You asked this question just now, but I didn't say it." Lao Bai took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "What good would it do if I told you the method?"
"Benefits?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect Lao Bai to be so direct.
"Of course," Lao Bai's tone didn't sound like he was joking, "Is it weird that I ask that?"
After experiencing the Lei Lanting incident, Dong Qiangqiang felt more and more that if he wanted to cooperate with others, it would actually be more conducive to long-term cooperation and development if both parties agreed on the price first. If both parties hide it or avoid talking about the money, even if they can Cooperation is a one-shot deal.
"Brother Bai, tell me the number," Dong Qiangqiang's eyes flashed, "I'll do my best."
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's calm look, Lao Bai was a little surprised. He didn't really want to scare Dong Qiangqiang with money, he just wanted to see how good Dong Qiangqiang was. He firmly believes that a person's attitude towards money can tell whether he can achieve great things. There are some people who, when you talk to them about money, they will tell you about their feelings, feelings, and hardships, and they will talk about it. Lao Bai has seen many such people, and he doesn’t like them, because the pattern of this kind of people is usually No big deal, the final outcome of cooperating with this kind of person is likely to be a lose-lose situation.
Lao Bai slowly opened his palm and made a "five" gesture: "How?"
"Five thousand (marks)?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
Lao Bai shook his head, shook his palms, and took another sip of wine.
"Fifty thousand?" Dong Qiangqiang gasped. He didn't have that much money on hand now. Besides, he was really vague about spending so much money on an unverified piece of news.
"None of them." Lao Bai said with a smile, "What I mean is that if we cooperate, you will be responsible for driving and I will be responsible for finding the tour group. But you have to bear all the initial costs. After all costs are taken out, we will split the profit 50-50. .Are you interested?"
Dong Qiangqiang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is what you said true?"
"If it's good for everyone, why not do it?" Lao Bai said quietly, "You can think about it and don't have to reply immediately."
"What's there to consider?" Dong Qiangqiang was very excited. If Lao Bai was really willing to bring him into the industry, he would have another way to make money. And now is the time for him to expand his wealth. If he really can't go to university, It's not a bad thing to open up more ways to make money. He immediately waved his hand and said, "I can answer you now: I am willing."
Dong Qiangqiang's straightforwardness was similar to what Lao Bai had thought, and he thought that he had indeed not misjudged Dong Qiangqiang.
Although Lao Bai was careful and did not tell Dong Qiangqiang how to obtain high-quality customers, and asked Dong Qiangqiang to bear all the initial expenses, Dong Qiangqiang knew in his heart that Lao Bai's generous teaching and enthusiastic invitation just now showed that he was willing to take him , if you don't follow the path, you will be a bit too short-sighted. The other party is willing to take her with him, not only because he is Lele's friend, but also because they are in love with each other. It is human nature for the other party to have reservations. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help feeling that this meal was so productive, and not a single bit of the sweet and sour fish and pork knuckle was wasted.
Sometimes people not only need opportunities, but also noble people.
Just as the two were about to discuss the details, Lao Bai's cell phone suddenly rang. While the other party was walking out of the kitchen to answer the phone, Dong Qiangqiang excitedly added another bowl of rice.
He had just mixed the sweet and sour fish sauce with the rice when another thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
