I really don't want to fight with gods

Chapter 27 You will be rewarded with tips, that is tasteful
There is a saying that Huhai internationalizes the Chinese people.Pingjing Sinicized foreigners.

Huhai is outward-looking, and actively embraces the external style.

Therefore, the high-end hotels in Huhai are genuine and old-fashioned. Even in the most difficult and crazy times, there are many old Kehlers in Huhai who still maintain their dignity. Qian also wants to be well-dressed and go to a high-end hotel to have a cup of coffee and listen to music.

They are the first white-collar workers to be impacted by Western culture. They have been abroad, have seen the world, and yearn for a better life, which is also the foundation of Shanghai-style culture.

The authentic jjajang noodles in Pingjing have nothing to do with the mouth of our alley, and the shirtless pie is two different life philosophies.

There is no high or low, each with its own characteristics.

Jing Xiaoqiang, who has studied in Pingjing, experienced life troughs, and lived on Broadway for 30 years, must be more inclined to Shanghai.

What's more, in this era, well-equipped gyms are only found in foreign-related hotels.

Originally, as Jing Xiaoqiang, he was not even qualified to enter.

But how familiar he is with the norm.

The more five-star hotels are, the more they have a set of necessary standards. The public audio system is standard, and the elegant coffee shop is just needed.

How elegant?

Someone has to play the piano.

Almost all five-star hotels have more than one piano equipment.

The pianist of the symphony orchestra must be part-time in a high-end hotel, and the pianists are not too fond of publicizing this.

This is the twist when the background of the domestic art academy is in line with the market.

I am such a dignified pianist from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. He is called Rongguang in the symphony orchestra. His salary is low and he is arrogant. After get off work, he plays the piano at the hotel to subsidize his family and is unwilling to publicize it.

How vulgar.

Jing Xiaoqiang went in along this line, pretending to play along twice, nothing more than playing Canon, Serenade, and Lyric over and over again for two hours, and got 80 yuan.

The key is that, just like in an airline, when he got a card that he can enter and leave at will, he naturally touched it and applied for a monthly fitness card.

300 yuan is still a discounted price for internal employees.

Did you find it, the characteristics of this year are like this, the dual-track system.

The cost of employees and even pianists is based on the domestic price level, but the consumption charges are charged according to international standards.

This is not the case in Pingjing and the surrounding areas of Shanghai and Shanghai. Most of them are double the number of foreign guests.

Huhai is basically synchronized, either don't come, or come to agree with this service standard.

Originally, Jing Xiaoqiang didn't care about it. He thought the 300 yuan a month fitness cost was worth it.

But there are always some familiar faces every day.

From the moment of nodding, to sometimes giving me a few random pointers, especially the bench press and weight-bearing squat, blind practice is no less than suicide.

At present, there is almost no fitness coach in China, and even the international fitness coach is still in a stage of conceptual confusion and technical content conversion.

This five-star hotel, which has only been open for two years, claims to be the largest and most comprehensive fitness center in Shanghai. Apart from the waiters and management managers, there is not a single qualified fitness trainer.

What kind of coach do you need for fitness? Isn't it just letting a group of residents in to run and play dumbbells?

So this sets out Jing Xiaoqiang's professionalism: "Uncle Cheng, your muscle group is not suitable for such exercises. The movements should be broken down into three sets like this, and it should not be too many each time..."

"Mr. Tom, slow down, slow down, you need to slow down your frequency, it was all wrong before, your knee should have been damaged, it is recommended to go for an MRI... oh oh oh, do an X-ray, what Your company has MRI technology? So… you’re from New York State? Mmmm, I’m familiar with West Side, slow down…”

"Oh, dear Miss Jessica, don't learn the yoga in that video, it's a liar, come, follow me and do a simple aerobics..."

Mandarin, English and Italian are fluent and fluent, as well as some French, Russian and German.

Just ask this level, can it be unpopular?
Do you know how the richest man in China, Papa Ma, got his start. He started to practice oral English with people at the door of the foreign-related hotel, and then made his first investment with a European and American pen pal.

How did Pingjing Shoushan get rich? After retiring from the army, relying on his little white face to look handsome, he went to foreign-related hotels to drink coffee every day, until he met a Hollywood star who thought he was the lover of his previous life and gave him all his inheritance.

And the awesome woman who married an international media tycoon first made international friends in a foreign-related hotel in eastern Guangdong, and married abroad and embarked on the road of domineering and sidestepping.

Regardless of how much these legends are true or false, almost all of them started from scratch in the 90s. If you want to quickly skip the accumulation period of Xinshou Village, the foreign hotel is definitely a key dungeon for killing monsters and exploding.

Use domestic costs to brush international benefits.

Even if you don't meet a noble person, you can benefit greatly from being a translator and receiving a tip.

As a result, Jing Xiaoqiang mastered all the high-level spells for brushing this dungeon.

About a week or so, the manager of the fitness center came to observe the news, because the waiter said that there is a young fitness man who manages all the Chinese and foreign fitness customers!

It's free, you're here, let's do some aerobic exercise first, depending on your body shape, what, you don't understand aerobic and anaerobic?
Oh oh oh, this concept is all at the end of the 90s, and it was not until the first few years of the new century that it began to be promoted in ordinary gyms.

The uncles and aunts do aerobics first. You have a good foundation, but don't be rash. Start with the equipment here step by step, and then start to increase the intensity after warming up your body.

It's two different things if someone takes it and no one takes it.

Fitness is a thing, if you try it professionally or not, you will know it, and your physical feelings will not lie.

After 10 minutes at a time, you will feel that it is different from the previous blind practice, and you will immediately become a believer.

And there is also the biggest bug. Throughout the 80s, the most popular fitness method in Europe and America, especially Citigroup, is jogging. From the president to the homeless, jogging is popular throughout Citigroup.

This is also the reason why jogging shoes from sports brands such as Nike and Adi have been launched in those years, driving the brand share.

The result is that many people completely ruin their knees at exactly that stage.

Citi has an age group with a particularly high rate of knee surgery and wheelchair use, which is related to this.

Still the same sentence, his sweetness, my arsenic, nothing is universal, and the specific situation should be treated in a specific way.

The human body is the most complex and magical collection on the planet.

There are hundreds of thousands of bones, muscles, and meridians. The differences between people are too great, and the right medicine must be prescribed.

That's what fitness trainers are for.

In the 90s, there was no such concept in China at all.

Internationally incomplete.

The expats who can live in this kind of hotel basically maintain their fitness habits are big men with perseverance and self-discipline in life, such as the director of the China region, the manager of the Asian headquarters, and the director of the Eastern Division.

You can gain trust once, maybe ask other colleagues to move here the next day, there is a very good fitness instructor, no language barriers, no cultural barriers, free... uh, this is not good, very bad it is good.

This is not in line with European and American values, and you have to tip.

In particular, the waiter took the initiative to explain that this is not our staff, and if there is an economic dispute or physical injury, it has nothing to do with us.

Then you have to tip...

Small bills of ten or twenty dollars are no slouch.

Jing Xiaoqiang was able to collect $[-] a day at the beginning!
This is already equivalent to 800 yuan to stay in the hotel for free!

It's still 1990!
For a guy like him with social bullshit, it was only when he was able to talk to foreign guests that he realized that I was in China, and I thought it was in the gym in Bryant Park in Manhattan.

People are also foreigners who travel all the way to work, and they also have the feeling of missing their hometown.

You're from California, I'm familiar with it, and I have a girlfriend who is there. She taught me to drink some wine before dinner, but to say that it can soften blood vessels is nonsense. You have to exercise. what&
Oh, is your home in Sicily, I also had a girlfriend...

In fact, Jing Xiaoqiang himself can't say that he has traveled the world, he has traveled all over the world with his girlfriends.

Because the best and most beautiful singers and dancers have to come to Broadway to preach.

No matter how beautiful or immortal she is, she has to eat, drink, and dine on the ground. The more unwilling to lie down on the manager's bed, the more powerful Plath girl, the easier it is to get along with the security guard, the vice president, and the special commissioner of the trade union.

It is easy to feel lonely in a foreign country, and if you feel a little insecure, Robert, come and accompany me...

This experience should not be too rich.

People all take him as a joke, hahaha said Robert, you are so interesting, thank you for your companionship and guidance, I feel much better, and this tip expresses my gratitude.

So from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], Jing Xiaoqiang was busy all the way with the constant stream of fitness guests, and three hundred dollars was almost an average.

There are a few local old Kehlers in Shanghai and Shanghai who are embarrassed. They come every day and can't give such a tip of five or ten dollars.

This is very close to the monthly salary in many parts of the country!

Jing Xiaoqiang smiled and pulled others to continue to practice, whispering amusingly, we are in agreement with the outside world, specializing in earning foreign exchange, thank a few uncles for their help, let's have breakfast and tea together?

Don't people help him spread the word every day?
He also tipped the waiter ten dollars...

The manager came to find out, and heard that he was a singer in the symphony orchestra, and a makeup trainer for an international airline. Isn't he still in awe?

The management of foreign-related hotels is extremely strict these days. The waiter’s tip can indeed be regarded as extra income, but if he dares to touch a guest with a shampoo bottle cap, he will be expelled. Even if the manager does not dare to drive Jing Xiaoqiang away, it provokes complaints from these foreign guests. If you want to invite Xiaoqiang back, get out yourself.

Therefore, Jing Xiaoqiang came up with his own idea. He took the initiative to issue a VISA card for an international hotel that is still rare in the mainland, and then stayed at the negotiated price and counted it on the manager's staff task. This is actually a superimposed discount for three high-end hotels. .

Originally the standard room of 838, the long-term private room of 288 for one night, such a VIP interaction with other foreign guests in the gym is no question.

In fact, the manager wanted to invite Jing Xiaoqiang to become a formal coach.

Five hundred and fifty monthly salary.

It's definitely a high salary in China, and you can justifiably take tips.

But how could Jing Xiaoqiang tie himself here.
