Before leading the team to Japan, Lao Bai was summoned to Hannover Customs to explain the motivation and process of bringing drugs into the country.
After careful investigation and questioning, Hannover Customs issued Lao Bai a written warning and a fine of 100 euros, and put him on some kind of watch list, which made him dumbfounded. It was just that the opening of the World Cup was getting closer and closer, and Lao Bai really had no time to waste time with the Germans. After confirming that the punishment would not affect his study visa and re-entry, Lao Bai couldn't wait to fly back to China with Tong Lele and Lei Lanting. .
In order to be able to drive a 9-seater car, Dong Qiangqiang signed up for a driver's license upgrade class at his original driving school and began to study step by step.
Although the preparatory studies have entered the final stage, the teachers of each subject are still teaching new content and there is no intention to review. Dong Qiangqiang consulted teachers from various subjects, and the answers he received were basically the same: there were no key points in the final exam, and there was no review. All the content learned was key and may become exam content. What's even worse is that each subject does not provide previous test papers for students to use for exam questions.
Dong Qiangqiang almost spat blood onto the blackboard.
Of course, he is not the only one who is depressed. Chinese and foreign students in all preparatory departments are very uncomfortable with it. How do students prepare for the exam?
The answer from the preparatory course is: Although there is no general review, no key points, and no old test papers, each subject will provide a mock test before the official exam for everyone to check for gaps and understand their own level.
Thinking back to the second semester of his senior year in high school, he wanted to take a small test every week and a big test in January. Dong Qiangqiang didn’t know whether it was because the Germans had a big heart or something, so he had to review by himself while posting various legal small advertisements for free on the preparatory advertising board in Moments and China. Advertisements were posted on student forums and local German forums, and questions began to be collected for a fee.
Before Lao Bai left, he gave him the account of "Little Lion" and asked him to pretend to be "Little Lion" and ask questions in the forum every day, and then use his identity as an administrator to answer the questions of "Little Lion" to make the forum lively. Lively to maintain the orderly operation of the website. Dong Qiangqiang does not object to this. Although it sounds a bit naive, for search engines, frequent changes in website content will be judged as an active website, which is beneficial to improving the ranking of the website in search engines.
He had just added the Frankfurt route guide here, and Lao Bai over there was throwing in at least a few or as many as dozens of photos of Japan every day.
Although he has been exposed to Japanese animation, toys, and film and television dramas since he was a child, Dong Qiangqiang has never been to Japan.
It's the turn of spring and summer, a pleasant season in Japan. In addition to the brilliant cherry blossoms, the photos include young women in kimonos, children laughing and playing, and office workers with solemn faces, hurried expressions, and bitter hatred. .
The commercial streets during the day are bustling with traffic, even more prosperous than those in German metropolises. And when the scene switches to night mode, especially when the neon signs light up, it's like the stars are shining in the mist, making the whole city come alive.
He added Xu Tongying's QQ account, but Xu Tongying always seemed to be busy. Although he approved Dong Qiangqiang's friend application, the two never met.
Until a rainy night with thunder and lightning and strong winds, just like the weather when Dong Qiangqiang first met Xu Tongying, accompanied by a crisp "di di di di" prompt sound, Xu Tongying appeared in the "My Friends" column QQ avatar changed from gray to color.
Xu Tongying finally went online, and her avatar turned out to be a little lion.
Such a coincidence?
Last time Dong Qiangqiang left in a hurry, and Xu Tongying was still lying in the hospital, so the two had no communication. This time they "met" again through the computer. Xu Tongying sent a long paragraph to Dong Qiangqiang as soon as he came up. His life-saving grace is beyond words.
Dong Qiangqiang doesn't like to be thanked all the time, because that also means that the other person may have unpleasant memories. With a few words of humility, he brought the topic to website revision and operation. After all, this was the focus of the chat. "Lao Bai said you are a master in operations, and I want to learn from you."
"What's Lebai's current situation? Please introduce it again." Xu Tongying said quickly.
Before Dong Qiangqiang finished typing, Xu Tongying said again: "You saved me, and we happened to have intersections at work, so I thought maybe I could do something. You don't have to have any worries, just tell the truth. , so I know how to get started.”
Her words made Dong Qiangqiang feel sincere even across the computer screen. It was like a reassurance that instantly dispelled Dong Qiangqiang's worries about being unconfident in the data.
Since Lebai was built by Dong Qiangqiang from scratch, every step and every data in its development was clearly printed in his mind. He immediately replied: "Lebai official website currently has 112 registered users. The average number of active users is about 10, mainly registered by tourists from the tour groups we have taken before. They will browse the Internet to visit places they have traveled to. In order to facilitate being crawled by Google and Baidu, the website has been SEO optimized, but it is not serious. We have done no promotion and have been freeing up, so the number of users has been growing very slowly. We have about 10 mature, stable and high-quality tourist routes, mainly in European countries such as Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Of course Other countries (travel routes) can also do it. In addition to continuing to expand the European market this year, we will also make efforts in Asia. Lao Bai is now leading a group to watch the World Cup in Japan. You know that the 2006 World Cup was held in Germany. We think that The number of Chinese people who come to Germany to travel will be very considerable. We usually rent local vehicles for travel, and there are about 4 full-time drivers and tour guides. Although there are not many, we still have a lot of part-time drivers in reserve, which will definitely be enough in the short term. "
“What channels do you have for your customers?”
"Currently, Lao Bai mainly contacts domestic travel agencies and pulls orders from China."
"Are all part-time drivers also students?"
"It's mainly international students here, but also Chinese immigrants to Germany."
"Okay, let me tell you about the situation here."
Dong Qiangqiang spread out the paper and prepared to record.
"I must have told you here, Lao Bai, right? Our company is an online travel website platform similar to Ctrip and Elong. The main tourist destinations are the United States and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in Southeast Asia, so we follow travel agencies that go to these places all year round. cooperate."
"Last year because of 9/11, all travel routes to the United States, whether independent travel or group tours, were canceled due to visa issues. After a group of 30 people signed up, only three or four people could get tourist visas. The sharp drop in business volume directly led to a decrease in the company's income."
"Reduced revenue is not insignificant for any company, especially our company is undergoing a new round of financing, so it becomes very important for us to return to the previous revenue level as soon as possible, which is also my current main responsibility. You I'll get a Coke later." Xu Tongying typed quickly.
After about a minute, more words were thrown over.
"Keep talking. We were preparing to open European routes last year to alleviate the losses caused by the suspension of American routes. This is one of the reasons why I went to Munich last time."
"I told Lao Bai before that we can consider cooperating. Of course, I want to state first that although I want to repay you, I don't want to make any mistakes at work. After all, this is a company-level matter and involves many aspects. , I hope everyone can cooperate happily, and I don’t want anything to embarrass everyone in the future, do you agree?”
"Of course, that's what I think too."
"You don't have a stable customer base now because you don't have channels, but it's not difficult for us. I can send you a few small orders first. If they are completed well, we can continue the discussion."
Dong Qiangqiang read so enthusiastically that he stood up immediately and thought to himself: Economics also says that "there is no free lunch in the world." Isn't this a good thing about pie in the sky?
"However, we will review your qualifications before taking the order. For us, foreign travel agencies are a mixed bag, and we especially need partners with a high sense of responsibility and professionalism, who understand Europe and have rich experience in the tourism industry, especially I have experience in travel safety, and I am familiar with customer psychology, and I know how to make customers have a good time. Of course, I can rest assured that your company is safe, and I hope others can be like you."
Although he knew that the last two sentences were rainbow farts, Dong Qiangqiang still listened happily.
"If industry experience is software, then vehicles, drivers and tour guides are hardware. You have too few drivers. If you want to take on larger orders, you must expand your manpower."
"If the cooperation is confirmed, we will increase manpower as soon as possible. The examination season of German universities is generally concentrated in February-March and July-August. Except during this period, all drivers can lead groups." Dong Qiangqiang said this with a guilty conscience , he was really not sure whether everyone would be willing to skip class and lead a group tour.
"Summer vacation is the highlight, you must start looking as soon as possible."
"Understood." Dong Qiangqiang wiped his sweat.
"If both parties cooperate, will you decide the price or Lao Bai?"
"We have other shareholders in our company, so we should decide together." Dong Qiangqiang thought of Tong Lele.
"It's late today. I'll tell you what I think of another day. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing you can do now. If we can really cooperate in the end, you must also have a company in China. It is impossible for us to sign a contract with a German company Yes, have you remembered? Hurry up and register one, the sooner the better. That’s it, bye..."
There was faint thunder outside the window, gurgling rain, and Xu Tongying's head turned gray again.
It seems that recruiting people will have to be put on the agenda sooner or later. Although Dong Qiangqiang has opened a company, he has never done recruitment. After thinking about it, he decided to ask Du Lan for advice.
