Chapter 28

The next morning, the sky cleared up, Lu Tu sent the children to school, and followed Xiong Ping to Chengbei Station to pick up the group.

"Guests from Guangdong, a group of [-] people, led by a tour guide. They have already arrived in Huaihua by train, and they are on their way from Huaihua to Fenghuang at the moment. Let's wait for them, and they will arrive soon. .” Xiong Ping walked and chatted, and led him around the waiting hall and walked directly to the parking lot.The upper terrace is wide and has an excellent view, which is very suitable for overlooking the distant scenery.

They found the company's minibus, greeted the driver, and got on it.

Lu Tu sat on the chair, nodded and said, "Yes, I came back like this two days ago, and I should be able to arrive in Phoenix around 9 o'clock."

Xiong Ping sat behind him and said with a smile: "Ah! I almost forgot, you used to work in Guangzhou. Can you speak Cantonese?"

"Yes, they said I can speak Cantonese pretty well!"

"Wow! I won't. Then you help me listen to what the guests are saying later, don't accidentally run the order, I don't know what's going on!" Xiong Ping warned, and then asked, " Do you usually play cards?"

Running orders is the lingo of tour guides, which means that the guests were ready to pay, but suddenly changed their minds, which resulted in the failure to make the order.

"Okay!" Lu Tu scratched his head, not understanding why she changed the subject again, shook his head and said, "No, I played poker when I was young, and I haven't played poker since I started working."

Xiong Ping exclaimed: "What a man! Unlike Lin Shan and the others, they love playing cards so much that they didn't even know they were tired after playing for three consecutive nights!"

Lu Tu smiled and asked, "Did you go to play cards last night?"

"I didn't play, and I went home after watching it for a while. I mean, they are so addicted to cards! Your civil and military are almost falling asleep, and you still refuse to sit down! You didn't see him like that, it's so ridiculous It's me!"

Lu Tu suddenly froze.

Wu Linshan was playing cards the night before yesterday?Then why did Long Lanxiang say that he went to the countryside?
A sudden uncomfortable feeling surged in his heart.

Not because of the dispute between Wu Linshan and Wang Peng.

Violating the verbal agreement is certainly disgraceful, but perhaps in Wu Linshan's eyes, Wang Peng was played like that, and maybe it was his illustrious military exploits instead!
But that's other people's business, and has little to do with him. Lu Tu never gets emotional ups and downs because of outsiders' affairs.

It was Long Lanxiang who made him feel unhappy. He didn't understand why she helped Wu Linshan lie to him!

Lu Tu is not a fool, not only not stupid, but also very smart.

Wu Linshan's attitude towards him was so bad, he could tell at a glance that it must be because of Long Lanxiang.

The reason is simple, he has never seen Wu Linshan before.As for Tian Meng, it was only because of his brother's loyalty that he followed suit.

In addition, when Xiong Ping talked about this matter, he was still a little secretive, which made him even more convinced that his judgment was correct!
Lu Tu had the urge to call Long Lanxiang, but he forcibly suppressed him.

"Forget it, maybe she didn't know at all at the time? Otherwise, there's no need to lie to me at all!"

Seeing that he fell silent, Xiong Ping thought that he didn't like to talk about this topic, so she also fell silent.

Fenghuang is a small place with a permanent population of 30 to [-] people.Miao people accounted for more than half, but not many came out to be tour guides.In addition to playing cards, eating and singing, and talking about leading the group, there are almost no other topics in the circle.

Lu Tu had just come back not long ago, although Xiong Ping knew him before, but it was not very familiar, so he didn't know what to talk to him for a while.

Lu Tu woke up from his contemplation, and couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "Sister Xiong, do you know what is the hottest business in Guangzhou now?"

This sentence really aroused Xiong Ping's interest, "What business is the hottest? I don't know, and I have never been to Guangzhou."

"Wechat business! That is to say, to do cosmetics business, as long as you have a smart phone, you can do it. Use WeChat Moments to continuously develop offline. People who do well have made a lot of money in the past two years."

Wechat business is a group that emerged not long after the WeChat app came out.They use WeChat groups and circle of friends to push various marketing articles, develop offline and sell products, and the popularity is astounding.When he was in Guangzhou, Lu Tu had a lot of dealings with this group of people.

"Hey, isn't this similar to MLM! It's boring, I can't do that, so let's be a tour guide down-to-earth."

"Oh, I don't do wechat business, and I don't mean that I want you to do it. It's just that I heard that people who do wechat business like to use the opportunity of tourism and group building to develop more downlines. Maybe we That's how the regiment is!" Lu Tu explained to her, and casually added his own guess.

He has been in Guangzhou for many years and knows the local way of doing things very well.

Generally, people from Guangzhou go out to travel. For individual tourists, most of them travel by car, and many travel by train.Traveling to Fenghuang in the form of a group report usually takes a plane to Zhangjiajie. Like this way of taking a train and then changing trains, it is either a family trip or a group building.

Thinking about the current market conditions, he is at least 30% sure that the people in this group are the Wechat Business Team.

It's complicated to say, but based on his experience, he made this judgment in an instant.

"Hahaha, is it true? If you guess right, I'll treat you to dinner!" Xiong Ping laughed out loud.

She had never met such a tour guide before, and she hadn't even met and chatted before, so she began to guess the occupation of the guest.If this can be guessed correctly, and the preparations are made in advance, wouldn't the performance be doubled?

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Lu Tu stretched out his hand to ask her for the itinerary, opened it, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiong, don't believe me! I was just guessing wildly just now, but now I'm at least 90% sure! You see , except for the tour guide and the boss, other identity information, are they all girls born in the [-]s?"

Xiong Ping came over to take a look, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! But what does it mean?"

Lu Tu returned the itinerary to her and explained: "The characteristics of the mainstream group of micro-businesses are exactly the same as the information on it."

When he was the marketing director, he paid great attention to the collection of information from all walks of life. Starting from the commonality of the industry, formulating corresponding marketing and sales strategies was his forte.

I just didn't expect that it can also play a role in the tour guide industry.I have to say that this is the benefit of accumulating more, and it may come in handy at any time!
Xiong Ping blinked, and asked humbly: "Lu Tu, how do you say this team should make an order? If you can make money, I will share half of it with you!"

Lu Tu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Really? Sister Xiong, are you willing?"

He is really short of money now, facing Xiong Ping's proposal, he doesn't even have the slightest thought of rejecting it.

"Hey, why are you reluctant? I'm not a stingy person!" Xiong Ping waved her hands carelessly.

"Haha, I heard that you are very good at leading groups and often make big orders. I will feel embarrassed if you share your commission for nothing like this."

Xiong Ping rolled her eyes, "Cut! Did you hear what Long Lanxiang said? She didn't tell you that I often can't make orders and lose money a lot? Really, Lu Tu, I mean what I say Words! If you have a way to get this group to place an order, we will share the money equally!”

Lu Tu saw that her attitude was clear, so he stopped being polite, nodded and said: "If this is really a team building for the micro-business team, then the trip is just a gimmick for them. The purpose is actually to show the strength of the boss and the prospect of making money. Simply put It is to show off their wealth! So, first, we need to find some beautiful scenic spots and expensive props for them to take pictures. Second, the boss may buy some seemingly expensive items. As a team benefit this time, we also You can make preparations in advance. Third, the team is all young girls born in the 90s, and we recommend more items with ethnic characteristics that are not too expensive, and they should be interested in buying them.”

When Xiong Ping heard Lu Tu's well-organized analysis, she couldn't help giving her thumbs up, and exclaimed with a smile on her face: "Oh, you really deserve to be a high-achieving student! You really have a set of words!"

She pondered for a moment, "Hearing what you said, I'm sure! It's easy to find a place to take pictures, and Phoenix is ​​so big, it looks beautiful anywhere! What do you think of Miao clothes for expensive props? Wearing a full body The silver jewelry, the expensive set costs 10,000+!"

With Lu Tu's approval, she continued, "Yes, yes! Then I'll take care of it! For welfare, do you think silver cups are okay? More than 1000 each, the price is not too expensive, and drinking water is not bad for your body. very good!"

Speaking of the silver cup, Xiong Ping looked at Lu Tu with fiery eyes, looking forward to seeing him nodding, and immediately cheered, "There are many things with ethnic characteristics, Miao clothes, hair ropes, shawls, tambourines, silver ornaments, etc., these things Good arrangement, when the time comes, I will take them for a walk, and it should be almost done!"

Seeing that she was excited, Lu Tu had to remind her: "Sister Xiong, it's just my guess now. If I guess wrong, it won't count."

Xiong Ping patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have confidence in you! Even if you guess wrong, it doesn't matter, just for your brain, if other guests come, you can still win! No wonder Zhang Yi said, You were born to eat this bowl of rice!"

Lu Tu smiled and said nothing.

After he came back, he hadn't really led a complete regiment by himself, and it's too early to say that.

There are buses coming and going in the parking lot. Noisy tourists either leave by bus or minibus, and rarely stay here.

When Xiong Ping received the text message, she took out her mobile phone and looked at it, and said, "Let's go, they're here, let's pick them up."

She stood up, took out the little bee from her bag and put it on, took a deep breath, got out of the car first, held the retractable flagpole, and walked towards the bus unloading point.

Lu Lu picked up his bag and followed behind her.I saw people coming down from the middle door of the bus. Some people wearing red hats gathered beside the car. Most of them were young and beautiful girls. It seemed that they should be the team they were going to lead today.

Xiong Ping stepped forward to meet with the tour guide, and both parties confirmed their identities.

"You are Xiong Ping, the local tour guide of Yuntong Company, right? Hello, I am Xu Zuliang from Kanghui Tourism, and this is my tour guide certificate. Have you brought the itinerary? Show me."

Local tour guide, as the name suggests, means local reception tour guide.Usually, after a travel agency receives an out-of-town group, they will choose to cooperate with the local travel agency. Both parties will send a tour guide, one is responsible for leading the tour, and the other is responsible for receiving the itinerary and explaining it.

"Hello Director Xu! I'm Xiong Ping! Here is my ID card and itinerary." Xiong Ping handed over the ID card and itinerary, then pointed to the minibus and said, "Is everyone here? Let's get in the car, first go to the hotel to put your luggage, and then take you to visit the ancient city."

This group is a two-day and one-night itinerary. Today is to visit the ancient city of Fenghuang, and tomorrow to Shanjiang Miao Village.

The thin boss, wearing a hat and sunglasses, leaned forward and asked, "Where is your best hotel? Take us there to take a picture first, and then go back to the hotel, okay?"

Xiong Ping and Lu Tu looked at each other, and the stone hanging in their hearts fell to the ground. They smiled and nodded and said, "Okay! Then let's go to Tianxia Phoenix Hotel! It is the best hotel in Phoenix City, and it is the most suitable for taking pictures." It’s not far away, just cross the second bridge.”

The boss nodded in satisfaction and said, "Haha, the best is fine! You are a good tour guide! Are you interested in starting a small business part-time?"

Xiong Ping laughed loudly, "Oops! Boss, I don't know how to do business. Just relying on being a local, I come out to be a tour guide for a living. It's fun to bring you here. I have no problem. If you want to talk If it’s a business, I’m afraid I’ll lose my pants!”

The boss also laughed, seeing that she was unwilling, he didn't say anything more.

Xu Zuliang returned the documents and itinerary to Xiong Ping, turned his head and shouted to the group of listless Yingying and Yanyan: "Families of the Ancestor Group, cheer up! We are going to transfer to the hotel, and the mystery will begin soon." It’s time for a trip to Xiangxi! The big sister next to me will give you an explanation, and I’ll follow her arrangements from now on, okay?”

The girls responded sparsely: "Okay!"

Seeing this, the boss scolded: "What are you doing? Didn't you eat? What do you look like so lazy!"

"I really didn't eat it!"

"That's right. After getting off the train, transfer here. Who has eaten? I'm almost starving to death!"

"Not only hungry, but also sleepy! I've been on the train all night, and I really want to sleep now!"

"Yes, yes, who told the boss to be so stingy, even reluctant to buy a sleeper berth!"

"If I had known this was the way to travel, I wouldn't have come!"

"..."

A group of girls were chattering non-stop, their heads were getting bigger, and the boss had no choice but to comfort him: "Okay, okay, let's take pictures first, and have dinner after taking pictures, okay? After a while, we will go to the hotel to put down our luggage, and we will go shopping in the ancient city." , Is this okay? After finally coming out, cheer me up! Whether the next performance is good or not depends on your performance in the past two days! When you can’t sleep, it’s not good to make more money ?"

Hearing what he said, the girls stopped making noise, giggling and dragging their suitcases, and followed Xiong Ping to the minibus.

By this time, Lu Tu can basically be sure that his judgment is correct, it really is the Wechat Business Team!
