Chapter 6 Farewell
Long Lanxiang took the schedule and smiled sweetly at Li Mingjing, "Thank you, Sister Jing! This is Lu Tu, the man in my room. I am going to Zhangjiajie today. He is here to help me lead the group. Please, Sister Jing, take care of me. When I come back, treat you to dinner!"

Li Mingjing raised his eyes to look at Lu Tu, and nodded slightly, his movements were barely visible.

Lu Tu bowed his head to greet her, and shouted with a smile: "Hello, sister Jing!"

Li Mingjing ignored him and continued working.

Long Lanxiang tugged at Lu Tu's clothes and motioned him to go out together.

The two went downstairs, met Zhang Yi and the others, and walked out of the company without saying anything more.

Mr. Xiao glanced at their backs, and said with a smile to Zhang Yi in Zhangjiajie dialect: "They all bring their husbands to lead the tour. It seems that the tour guides make a lot of money with you! This is not your style. ,boss Zhang!"

Mr. Wang stroked his chin and said, "The problem is Mr. Zhang earns more! Otherwise, do you think he would be so generous?"

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said: "Everyone is the same, let's not talk about anyone else! Really, my head fee is a little higher than yours. If it weren't for the salesmen who opened up a few more lines this year, there would be more lines every day." Leader, do you think these tour guides will be so honest that they won't rebel and make trouble?"

Mr. Xiao said disdainfully: "Rebellion? What are they using to rebel? There are not many people with tour guide certificates. If they really dare to make trouble, they just open it and it's over! Without us, they can only go to the street to attract individual tourists. One day Tired to death by the end of the night, I can earn 200 yuan to burn incense! How can it be as easy as leading a group to make money in a travel agency?"

Mr. Wang ignored his words, and turned to Zhang Yi and asked, "You understand the conditions my uncle said, Mr. Zhang? If you think it's appropriate, I'll come and sign the contract with you some time later."

Zhang Yi sucked his teeth, patted his forehead and said, "The deposit of 500 million is easy to say, but the problem is that the rebate is too low, right? I have never done business in a scenic spot with less than ten points. Isn't it embarrassing? Mr. Wang , can you talk to Mr. Ye? The rebate points will be increased a little, as long as there are ten points, I will pay you immediately without saying a word!"

Mr. Xiao sneered and said, "You can be content, Mr. Zhang! The monopoly business is like free money, and it's not enough? If you don't want to do it, there are a lot of travel agencies rushing to do it!"

Zhang Yi didn't take his words to heart, and still stared at Mr. Wang with piercing eyes.

In business, who would have trouble with money?If Mr. Ye can really agree, let alone Mr. Xiao just sarcasm lightly, even if he scolds him face to face, there will be no problem.The ability to do things yourself is one of the compulsory courses for businessmen.

Mr. Wang stood up, patted his buttocks and said, "I can go back and ask for you, but I can't guarantee it! Anyway, it's still early, and it hasn't even passed the Standing Committee yet. If there is news, I will tell you as soon as possible. your."

…………

The sky is still hazy, there are occasional vehicles passing by on the street, and there are not many pedestrians.

Long Lanxiang held Lu Tu's arm, stood on the street, and said to him with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, dear! I wanted to stay at home for one more night, so I could spend time with you. It seems that I can't do it now. , go back and bring some clothes, I have to go right away."

Lu Tu lowered his head and touched her head, and smiled dotingly, "It's okay, I'm in everything at home, so don't worry! What time is the train?"

There is no train station in Phoenix, so if you travel long distances, you either take the train in Jishou, the capital of Xiangxi Prefecture, or go to Huaihua Railway Station.

Long Lanxiang felt a little bit reluctant, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I haven't been there either. Zhang Yi said that there is a car in the afternoon, so I'll ask at the dealership when I get down."

Lu Tu nodded, feeling her depression, so he changed the subject and asked, "What does Zhang Yi mean by the rules?"

"Pay the head fee! When we pick up his group, we have to pay the head fee. The Phoenix group pays 65 per head, the ancient city pays 50, and the rural tour pays 15. When paying the bill, it will be handed over to the company. If there is no bill, The money has to be paid by yourself! Anyway, the tour guide earns or loses, the company doesn’t care, he just collects the money according to the order. Uh...it seems wrong to say that, there are also requirements for entering the store and issuing the order. Did not enter the store Or if there are too few orders, the company will punish us." Long Lanxiang cheered up and explained to him concisely.

Lu Tu felt that his world view had been subverted, and he frowned and said, "So that's the case? No wonder you always work so hard when you lead the group! But it's wrong, we shouldn't be the one who leads the group for him. Pay us? How can we turn it around and ask us to pay him? In that case, how can the quality of service be guaranteed?"

"Hahahahaha...!"

As if hearing the funniest joke, Long Lanxiang kept laughing while holding her stomach, and finally squatted down.

Lu Tu stood there, looked at her helplessly, stepped forward to help her up, put his arm around her shoulder and asked, "Did I say something wrong, dear? Is it so funny?"

Long Lanxiang wiped the corners of her eyes, leaned on him, and pointed in the direction of the road, "Go this way, there are too many tourists down here."

She took a long breath and said with a restrained smile, "Oh, I'm laughing to death! My dear, you haven't been in this business and don't know the inside story. It's not surprising to have such thoughts. But you will also be a tour guide in the future. Don't make such jokes again!"

Lu Tu hugged her and walked along the road, with a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "How do you say?"

"When I first led the group, there was indeed a guide (Note 1), and it cost 50 yuan to lead a village tour. But now, even if it is a certified tour guide, except for a few groups who can get the guide, other treatment , is no different from us." Long Lanxiang enjoyed his embrace very much, brushed up her drooping hair, and told the inside story of the industry.

"At present, the country is vigorously supporting the development of the tourism industry, but there are not so many tourists, and there is not much business in the scenic spot. What should we do?"

"Later, the travel company thought of a way to vigorously promote low-cost tours! Attract people to travel, and negotiate rebate policies with scenic spots based on the flow of people."

"Do you think that Zhang Yi and the others make money from tour group income? Wrong! Every time he takes a tour group, he basically loses money. At most, he can keep his capital! He relies on state subsidies and scenic spot rebates to make money!"

"Even so, there have been more and more travel agencies in Phoenix in the past two years. In order to grab customers, everyone is desperately lowering prices, and the profit margin has long been consumed, including our tour guides. Fees and rebates from merchants are basically used to make up for the shortfall.”

"You said, he has invested so much and the market competition is so fierce, what can we do as tour guides? We can only continue to lead the group! It is we who ask him, not him who asks us. You don't want this causal relationship. Mistake!"

Lu Tu suddenly realized that if there was no Long Lanxiang, even if he was killed, he would not be able to figure out the way inside.

"Wow, it seems that your tour guide for the past two years has not been in vain, you know so much!" He sincerely admired.

Long Lanxiang raised her head with a proud face: "That's right! You think the name of my tour guide is fake?"

Lu Tu was taken aback, "What big sister? You?"

Long Lanxiang consciously made a slip of the tongue, glanced at him, and smiled embarrassedly, "It's all those people shouting, in fact, I'm still very low-key. My dear, you also saw it today. Facing Zhang Yi, he behaved like that. My son said me, but I didn't even scold him..."

"What! How dare you scold the boss? Are you not afraid that he will fire you?"

The more Lu Tu heard it, the more shocked he became. Is this his gentle and lovely wife in front of him?
Although she was indeed a bit aggressive in the past, it shouldn't have changed so much, right?

What has she experienced in the past three years?
The two live on their own side, living separately in the two places. As long as there is a holiday, Lu Tu will come back to visit his wife and children.Although there are frequent round-trips, it is not as good as staying with me all the time, and I understand more clearly!
Long Lanxiang said disdainfully: "Fire me? Believe it or not, with just one word from me, all the tour guides in Phoenix City won't lead tour groups for him?"

Seeing that Lu Tu's eyes widened again, she quickly explained, "You're just kidding, my dear! I don't have such great ability, right? In fact, don't look at Zhang Yi's scolding, but as long as the tour guide He won’t care if you scold him or not if he has achievements and money to earn.”

The two talked all the way, and there were always endless topics to talk about, as if they had returned to the years in Guangzhou.

At that time, they were like this. In the harsh and poor environment, they hugged each other to keep warm, and finally came together.

Especially Lu Tu, when facing strangers, he always speaks very little.Only in the face of Long Lanxiang, he can always talk endlessly, and there will always be endless things to say.

After buying tickets at the agency, when she got home, Long Lanxiang picked up a few sets of clothes, underwear, toiletries, shoes and socks, and packed them into a yellow suitcase.

She put on her hat and sunglasses, looked at Lu Tu and asked, "Honey, how are you?"

Lu Tu gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "You're so sassy! No one is more handsome than you!"

Long Lanxiang patted him with a smile, took off his sunglasses, put them on the hat, stepped forward to hug him, and said softly: "Honey, you just came back, and I'm leaving. If I hadn't paid the money, I I don’t even want to go now!”

Lu Tu patted her on the back, suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and comforted him: "It's okay, you go to the training, the study is important. There is only one month, and you will be back soon. You really can't Should we go after dinner? There is no need to leave so early for the train at [-] o'clock in the afternoon. "

Long Lanxiang kissed him, shook her head and said, "No, it's okay to stay at home anyway. I set off early and just stepped off the assembly line at Jishou (note 2). After I come back, maybe I will be transferred to the long-term team. Go take the long string."

Lu Tu didn't insist anymore, he helped her carry the suitcase, and sent her downstairs to take a taxi.

"You go over there and study with peace of mind. Don't worry at home. I will take good care of the children." Lu Tu sent her to the car and said instructingly.

Long Lanxiang pouted at him, kissed him from the air, waved her hand, and signaled the driver to drive away.

Looking at the back of the taxi going away, Lu Tu had mixed feelings for a while, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Note 1: Guide service is the tour guide service fee.

Note 2: Stepping on the line means that the tour guide is familiar with the scenic spots in advance.
