Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 980 Chapter 980. Extremely desperate for change

"Then they took action?" This statement made Dong Qiangqiang feel unbelievable. After all, we were all classmates, how could they take action over such a trivial matter? What are their qualities?

"That's not true, there are other things happening later." Lao Bai admitted frankly.

"Mr. Bai, I heard that you didn't take everyone to visit the attractions in Paris as originally advertised, such as the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, etc. Instead, it was either an outlet or a shopping street, so everyone has feelings for you. Is there such a thing as dissatisfaction and complaints?" Perhaps because she thought Lao Bai's words didn't make sense for a long time, Zheng Chunhua simply asked directly without any concealment.

"I don't deny this, but there is a reason why I did this." Lao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, "First of all, France and Germany have been going on strike in recent months, and the violent conflicts that have occurred here due to strikes are far greater than in Germany. , when it is also mixed with many other social problems, such as racist conflicts, people’s xenophobia, etc., the road becomes chaotic and unsafe.”

Lao Bai's introduction made Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but recall the burned cars and collapsed buildings he saw on the road: "Why is the conflict so serious here? There are many strikes in Germany, and I have never seen such a radical one. of."

"The news says that many young people who participated in violent conflicts took to the streets after being incited by certain media."

"Then they have no homework? Even if they have less homework, don't their parents care?" Dong Qiangqiang was particularly curious.

"Many parents work night shifts such as security, cleaning, and road maintenance, and the parents are not at home when their children take to the streets."

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang and Lao Bai chatting animatedly, Zheng Chunhua couldn't help but knock on the table to signal the two of them to get back to the topic.

"Because it's too chaotic here, I wanted to go to Italy instead, but some people refused to leave. You both know that this seven-nation tour is under the Lebai brand, so I have to be responsible for everyone's safety. If you must If they stay here, I think it will be safer and more secure to stay in a big-name luxury store as much as possible, so I try to keep them all in the shopping store. I didn't expect that it would intensify the conflict. Secondly, I don't charge money to take them out to play. It’s not for charity. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. They can leave at any time if they don’t want to.”

"So the reason why you don't go to scenic spots is because you are worried about being attacked?" Zheng Chunhua obviously didn't believe Lao Bai's argument. "You said you could leave at any time if you didn't like it, but they said you can't leave with your passport in your hand."

"It's true in my hands. That's because a few people almost got into trouble when they acted privately at night. Just as a precaution, I collected all their passports. If they agree to return to Germany immediately, I will give them their passports immediately." Buy a ticket and leave, but if they still stay here and play, if anything goes wrong later it will be blamed on Le Bai and it will be my fault, then I can't stand it."

"Something almost happened? What happened?" Zheng Chunhua asked curiously, "Why did it fall on you?"

Lao Bai didn't answer and looked up at Dong Qiangqiang.

Zheng Chunhua followed his gaze and turned to Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang probably guessed what was going on and whispered to Zheng Chunhua. Zheng Chunhua's expression changed. It was obvious that Dong Qiangqiang had an answer she had not expected.

If according to what Lao Bai said, the cause and effect of the matter are basically clear, the last question Dong Qiangqiang is concerned about is: "Did they hit you with the injury on your head or did you fall by yourself?"

"They asked for a passport, but I didn't give it to them. Communication was fruitless, so they took action." After speaking, Lao Bai made a "pushing" motion. "In the chaos, someone pushed me, and I fell down before I could stand firmly. I banged my head on the metal fence nearby. There happened to be a patrol officer nearby, so I called the police, and everyone came in. The tour bus is still parked in the backyard of the police station.”

"I'm going to check with others about the situation later," Zheng Chunhua glanced at Dong Qiangqiang, "You don't have to go now."

Dong Qiangqiang was happy to be quiet.

"You are the victim, and you reported it to the police, so if you mediate, the police will definitely pay attention to your ideas. How do you want to solve this matter?" Zheng Chunhua asked.

"My request is very simple. I hope that the person who hit me will apologize to me in public and sign the apology letter. I don't have to sue the other party but I will reserve the right to sue. I don't have to pay compensation, but the person who hit me must buy a ticket immediately. Go back to Germany."

"You don't want compensation?" Dong Qiangqiang originally thought that Lao Bai would speak loudly, "Have you thought clearly?"

"I don't want to compensate because on the one hand, I am also responsible this time. On the other hand, I will inevitably have to deal with the students from the special university in the future. Chairman Zheng came here specially for my matter this time. I have to give Chairman Zheng this face no matter what." . After all, I’m here to do business, not to make enemies.”

"You want the person who hit the person to apologize and leave, but what about the others? Should they stay or go home?" Zheng Chunhua asked again.

"I think it's not easy to come out, but if you want to go back, I respect everyone's opinion."

"If everyone plans to continue this trip, I suggest that you pay the fare and gas as normal. If you don't want to pay, you can leave. If you don't leave France, you can sign and declare that the subsequent trip is your personal wish and has nothing to do with Lebai or Laobai. . After Lao Bai collected the money, he should do his best to guarantee the tourist attractions, unless he couldn't go there due to force majeure. If he didn't collect the money, there would still be conflicts," Dong Qiangqiang seriously suggested.

"That's a good suggestion. Then you guys wait for me here. I'll go talk to them and come back to you later." Zheng Chunhua said and stood up to leave. There is also a young French couple in the corner of the reception room. The boy is sitting behind the thick glass and crying bitterly, while the girl is constantly trying to comfort the boy.

"There are no outsiders now. I want to ask you something." Dong Qiangqiang spoke first.

Lao Bai made a "please" gesture.

"I still learned about the seven-country tour plan from Zheng Chunhua. Why didn't you mention a word on the day of pick-up? Didn't you keep saying there was a shortage of people? Then why didn't you call me for this trip? The work this time has something to do with me. I told you that I don’t need a salary, and commissions and tips can all go to you.”

Lao Bai said half-jokingly: "When I first met you, I felt that you were much thinner than you were at Christmas. I guess you didn't get much rest in China. You just came back. This time, we are all very familiar with each other." Well, I thought I wouldn’t drag you around. School is about to start, so you should take your time, so that I don’t have to split the money with you later and earn it all by myself, how cool it is, haha.”

"Did you already know that the security here was deteriorating, so you planned it from the beginning?"

Lao Bai stared at Dong Qiangqiang's eyes sincerely: "Would you believe it if I said it wasn't true?"

Dong Qiangqiang didn't speak anymore, Lao Bai didn't explain more, and they both fell into silence at the same time.

After a while, Dong Qiangqiang persuaded him earnestly: "I know that performance betting puts you under a lot of pressure, but you still have to look for business from tour groups. The student business is not reliable after all."

"Of course I know that the student business is not good, so just leave the small money from manual labor to me. The right way is to follow Mr. Dong to make a big fortune that only those who work hard can make. When is Mr. Dong going to tell me the code of Volkswagen Derivatives? Today?" Tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow? I’ve already prepared the money.”

"Lao Bai, first of all, Duanmu and I haven't decided which one to buy. Secondly, derivatives are very risky. It's not like buying stocks. If the stocks fall, you will only suffer floating losses. As long as you don't trade, there will be no real losses. If you look at In the wrong direction, call and put options will be forced to be liquidated even if you don't trade, and your principal will probably be lost," Dong Qiangqiang said sincerely.

Lao Bai spread his hands and asked with a smile: "I understand the truth, but there are no domestic tour groups, and no one knows when SARS will end. There are only a few business groups struggling to hold on. What can I do? What should I do? Tell the investors now, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t make a profit this year’?”

Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly interrupted: "You know that's certainly not what I meant."

"I know, don't worry, I will definitely not say that to investors. I will only say: Not only can I achieve it, but I will far exceed that goal."

"I heard that the investors rejected your idea of ​​opening up a new business. Which new business is it specifically?"

"Do you still remember the customized tour I told you last year?"

"Of course I remember. As grand as your plan is, no one will forget it."

"At the beginning of the year, I wanted to take Lele to Northern Europe to see the Aurora. I did a lot of homework at that time, but something went wrong and I didn't go. Recently, I have been thinking about whether I can bring Chinese people in China and Germany, and even foreigners, together. ”

"Will it cost a lot of money upfront? The most important thing is, do you have a customer base?"

"I'm a music student doing cross-border tourism. What kind of customers do you think I can get at the earliest? It's not done bit by bit."

"You can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps." Dong Qiangqiang agreed.

"Old Dong, do you remember the last time I asked you why people travel?"

"You said that travel can change the way we see the world."

"That's right, but before I change other people's perspective on the world, I have to change my own first. Last year I thought it wouldn't happen so fast, maybe it would only start in 04. Now look, I have to do it this year. And the sooner the better, no matter what, I can’t sit still.”
