One day in early June, in a newly built commercial building in Lanfang City, a certain floor can only be reached by a special elevator and cannot be accessed by a public elevator.

The environment is smoky and stuffy.

In front of the rows of counters, crowds of people and tourists are bustling, making the environment with no windows, no central air conditioning, and only some cabinet machines with less strong refrigeration power more and more stuffy, and everyone wants to leave as soon as possible.

Moreover, these cabinet air conditioners are placed on the inside of the counter, behind the position where the clerks stand, counting the area of the counter, the straight-line distance between the tourists outside the counter and the air conditioning vent is at least five meters or more.

The clerks can be controlled at two to three and a half meters from the air conditioner, and if the clerks feel that it is too hot and there is no one to buy anything to receive, they can walk backwards, lean on the air conditioning outlet to blow cool, and wait for customers to buy things before moving forward.

Charles Young, who has a yellow face, also mingles with this group of shoppers, and is tormented by the environment, but his heart is excited.

Because there was a small candid digital camera in his handbag, and a small opening was secretly opened on the edge of the bag, which happened to completely take pictures of the chaos in front of him.

This mission, he was mixed into a newly established unknown Internet travel platform organized by the "Lanfang Zero Group Shopping Tour", wanting to track and report on the shady scenes of this kind of despicable tour, as for his employer, of course, it was Mr. Ibrasin's person from Dibba - of course a big man like Ibrasin would not personally hire this kind of undercover reporter, so in fact, there were two or three subcontracts in the middle.

Mr. Ibrasin's original intention was to find a black group from the convenient travel network they supported themselves to shoot. But now that the situation seems to be out of control, and a darker group that follows the trend has also appeared, and the Lan side seems to be so black-hearted to make money and neglect supervision, there is no reason to shoot more black materials sent to the mouth, right?

After the filming of these materials, many parties confirmed that the Internet is full of firepower, and the current situation of the Lanfang people's tourism industry can be completely exposed and stink! Let's see if those high-end tourists who pretend to be high-class aristocrats will come in the future! Look at how Lanfang still competes with Diba for business!

Charles Yang's original surname is Yang, and ethnically speaking, of course, he is Han. It's just that his nationality was not Chinese from the beginning, he was born in Xiangjiang during the colonial period, and he sharpened his head when he was young and joined the Breton nationality, Charles is the English name he took when he went to Australia to study. He studied journalism in Australia, and later joined some cloth media.

However, before coming to Lanzhou, Charles Young did not work for Roadside News or the BBC, but had a period of experience working in the English-language media in the Middle East - many of those countries in the Middle East were colonies seized by Lawrence the mad dog for Brittany, so the UAE, Qatar, or other small countries, there are still many remnants of white power.

Even if those countries are modernized, the cloth system is still huge, so even if the face of the Chinese is relatively rare there, as long as you graduate from the cloth department of Wugou's university, you can always find a job.

Charles Young's early career was in that country, which led to his lack of understanding of the news media market in Lanzhou before he came, so he dared to come to the newborn calf without fear of tigers - in fact, if he had done a little more homework and knew how the BBC Roadside reporters who had sneaked into Indonesia, a neighboring country in Southeast Asia, to interview fishermans died, and then investigated the accident death rate of the cloth reporters in the Lantian side, maybe he would not have dared to come.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes, but none of the roadside club BBC dogs can get out of Lanfang alive.

……

"The temperature of the air conditioner is so high, there is not much refrigeration power at all, the temperature in the tourist area is at least 35 degrees Celsius, if the crowd is very crowded, it is possible to get close to 40 degrees, what about this kind of air conditioner?

The clerk was cool, and it was estimated that they were standing at the air conditioning outlet, which must be below 30 degrees, and the inside of the counter was at most 323 degrees. This tuyere is also specially downward, it is iron-hearted to reduce air circulation, hoping to use the counter to seal some sinking air conditioning as much as possible, the shopping experience is too poor. ”

Charles Young was secretly filming, and at the same time, he observed, analyzed, and speculated on all kinds of dark and chaotic things in this shopping place with the worst malice and the professional perspective of a reporter, and wrote the report in his heart.

Compared with other real tourists, he is prepared, and his analysis of nature is more through the phenomenon to see the essence.

For example, in a mere air-conditioning design, he realized that this was a business to force tourists to be too hot to stand it, and then he was distraught and lost control of his emotions, and bought something as soon as possible to leave.

According to the law of the Lan side, it is still illegal to force the purchase and forced sale, if the forced purchase, the store can be copied by the regulatory department, suspended for rectification, or revoked the business license.

However, if there is an agreement in the travel contract before both parties come, such as how long they will stay in a shopping store, how long the time is up, or how much money they can buy before leaving, this is legal, which means that the tour group is allowed to spend enough time without forcing the purchase.

Among the tourists in the same group as Charles Young, there were soon a few retired aunts who liked to take advantage of the situation and refused to buy them - that is, the kind of frail aunts who can sprint 100 meters to grab discounted eggs in the supermarket, and need someone to give up their seats after getting on the bus - couldn't stand the stuffiness of the environment, and they all clamored and asked to leave:

"Tour guide! Your place is too hot! Can the air conditioner be lowered a little, who can stand staying in such a shop for four hours! Let's not go, let's go to the toilet and corridor to ventilate!"

Of course, this unreasonable request was rejected by the tour guide: "No! This is a contract stipulation, and both parties have promised it in black and white! You have zero tour fare, and you haven't spent a penny! Air tickets, hotels, food, drink, cars, and ships are all free, what else do you want? If you really calculate the money, the cost of five or six thousand yuan is definitely not enough!"

How much time is for each shopping point, write clearly, you can go out in advance to cool off, and the supplementary terms are also written, this time there are a total of eight must-go shopping spots, each point is not going, pay a thousand yuan off the group fee, and you can go out to blow the air conditioner to enjoy the cool. This is very reasonable, you signed it yourself. ”

When a group of aunts came, they were full of only thinking about taking advantage of the situation, and they didn't read the terms clearly at all, and suddenly shouted: "You guys are too dark! You also said that the cost is only five or six thousand, and if we all leave the group at eight points, won't we have to pay 8,000 yuan! It's two or three thousand more expensive than a normal full-price tour!

The ground tour guide's face turned dark: "Doesn't the company want profits? Just give you white service? The cost is five or six thousand, which is the hard cost paid to the airline hotel, can't we sell you 8,000 yuan?

Besides, is our purpose to ask for your departure fee? Is it good to figure out the legal nature, the nature of the departure fee is the punitive liquidated damages brought about by your breach of contract, if the liquidated damages are the same as the cost, what deterrent effect is there? This is punishment!

Besides, can you guarantee that all of you who don't buy anything will pay you a trip fee? If one of you is really as thick-skinned as Wang Ba and is heat-tolerant, and sleeps motionless on his stomach and spends four hours with us, then we are not a net loss of money for that person?

Is our purpose to collect your departure fee? Our purpose is to let you buy things well! Everyone can leave immediately if they buy enough 10,000 yuan at each stop, and there are so many of them! If you take these things back to your country, if you find a buyer who needs luxury goods, you will not lose money! You can still sell them to make money! Why don't you buy them?

I'll leave the words here, today is to be afraid of the heat to die of the cheeky to pay for the hot immortal, you can even sit or whatever, you have the cheekiness to persuade the customers who buy more to give you some sales, I also want to leave early!"

If this kind of thing is a tour group ten years later, it must not dare to say, because at that time the law has stipulated that zero tour fee is illegal, but in 2002 it was obviously not so stipulated, and it doesn't matter if you insult you or something, as long as you don't buy and sell, it's not easy to bite.

Under such toughness, those aunts who want to take advantage have to change their ways after trying to break through several times without success.

Some began to pretend to faint from heat stroke, but unfortunately they were recognized by the iron-faced selfless ground guide and store security guard with a little splash of cold water, and in the end she was only allowed to bury her face near a certain vent to take a few breaths, and if the people behind wanted to occupy this position, they would be able to grab a good spot among the tourists.

Seeing that pretending to suffer from heat stroke was ineffective, these people further turned to begging some young and fashionable buyers in the group - the goods at these shopping points, to tell the truth in conscience, are not black, and all luxury goods, because of the duty-free relationship, must be much cheaper than the domestic ones, so many people are sincerely to buy a lot, as long as there are channels to ship.

The reason why those uncles and aunts refuse to buy is only because they don't know the relevant circles when they are in China, and they can't meet so many people who need luxury goods around them, and they are timid and afraid of smashing their hands.

So, a few of the aunts who took advantage of the situation pestered a fashionable little girl who looked like a flight attendant and looked like a lot of purchasing contacts, begging for mercy: "Big nephew and little girl, help Auntie." I see that you have also bought tens of thousands, and if you give out one or two hundred thousand, is it good for your aunt to buy it? Auntie has completed her share, and everyone can leave early. ”

The fashionable woman who looked like a flight attendant was not unkind: "Then why don't you just buy it yourself?" I also took the risk of taking the goods, and it makes no sense for me to advance money for you to take advantage of in vain." If you want to do this, I promise you at most that you buy it yourself now, and if I have a shipping channel at that time, I will help you sell it in and out, and introduce you to a buyer in vain.

It's impossible to buy it for you, and if the rules are broken, people won't accept me next time, and I also have the risk of advancing funds. ”

Those who can do purchasing business are also very shrewd people, and they dare not say that 100% of the goods they buy can be sold, and sometimes in order to maximize profits, in the case of not enough sisters who pre-order, they must advance a little money. Now that someone is asking for the door, of course, it is necessary to share the risk of the advance, and it is not in vain.

A variety of beings who are each for themselves are so bloodily displayed in front of the candid camera of Charles Young reporter.

After all, some undetermined aunts who took advantage of the situation couldn't bear the predictable heat for so many days in the future, and chose to temporarily cooperate with a stewardess-type woman who had a way to sell goods, and took the risk of advancing funds.

There are also those who are extremely conservative, do not suffer any losses, and do not want to take any risks, and choose to carry the heat and suffocation to the end, and do not buy a dollar of anything.

All kinds of beings were photographed in this way.

"It's so exciting, no one cares about this, it seems that the convenience travel network has increased its squeezing efforts, and the effect of the show will definitely be more exciting at that time." Tut-tut, fortunately, I am a Breton national, and there are too many Chinese people who love to be greedy and cheap. Charles Young said triumphantly in his heart.
