Chapter 221: July 4th

What was July 4, 1984?

It looks like a normal Thursday.

The temperature was thirty-two degrees, sunny and breezy, and it seemed nothing special.

But for Americans, the day was a little different.

Because it is the anniversary of "Independence Day", which is the national day of the United States.

For the tourism industry in Beijing, this day is the day of the completion of the Xiyuan Hotel building, which houses a revolving restaurant on the top floor.

Since then, the capital has added a high-end five-star hotel.

In addition, for some of Hong Yanwu's subordinates, the significance of this day is obviously more significant.

Because this is the "Renhe Depot" at the north gate of the Forbidden City and the Donghuamen Night Market, two places of business and trading are open together.

Undoubtedly, the first thing to open on this day was definitely the sale of rickshaws.

But it's almost different from the "good start" that everyone imagined.

There were a lot of people watching the car all morning, but there was no business for a while.

Even Angelo and the "little daughter-in-law" walked around to talk, but they didn't find any guests willing to take the car.

As a result, these 20 or so people stupidly guarded the six tricycles that came out in a hurry to open as soon as possible, and they were wasted for a morning as if they were doing an outdoor exhibition.

In this case, some people will naturally panic.

The boys of the "transport team" smoked cigarettes all morning, and their heads drooped more and more.

By the time it was almost half past eleven, even the person in charge, "Dayong", was a little overwhelmed.

He and the "little daughter-in-law" and the two of them summed up, thinking about whether to say hello to Hong Ye.

Looking at this situation, it's best not to let the masters make cars again.

followed and chattered, saying that fortunately six cars were made, and the money spent was not too much, if all forty cars were made, I am afraid that Hong Ye would lose a lot.

Unexpectedly, the "little daughter-in-law" has always maintained a certain degree of confidence.

If nothing else, the key is that Hong Yanwu's judgment has never been missed.

In addition, he really thinks that this tricycle is beautifully built and recruiting.

Almost every foreigner who sees a car will point their fingers from afar and happily come over to take pictures.

With that excitement alone, it doesn't look like a business.

So he reassured "Dayong" that it was still early, don't rush to make a conclusion first, you have to wait and see.

If you can't figure it out, you have to wait for someone to transfer the Forbidden City before you have time to take the car......

really said that the "little daughter-in-law" is not a "Buddha" background, with a smart brain and a careful mind.

He really let him talk about it.

Just as the big guys took turns going back to the depot for lunch.

After the transfer of the Forbidden City, some foreigners came out, and business began to come to the door.

The fire at the scene, "Little Cheese" alone can't receive it at all.

She was almost surrounded by the "pink face" who came to ask.

I can't cope with it, and I'm sweating.

In this way, "Dayong" hurriedly sent someone to call back the "little daughter-in-law" and Angelo.

Say you've been searched for too, let's talk in front of the car.

To say that Angelo is efficient.

He's an American, and of course he doesn't speak English.

And because I'm Sicilian, I also know Italian and a little French.

In addition, I stayed in the Republic for a few more years, and I messed with my "little daughter-in-law" every day, and there was no problem with basic communication in Chinese.

In this way, he can not only easily deal with three groups of guests at the same time, but also deal with Europeans who do not speak English.

On the other hand, the two "little daughters-in-law" are almost meaningless.

They relied on the foundation of inverted foreign exchange coupons to chat with Angelo and practiced the spoken language, and it was okay to negotiate prices and daily communication in English.

However, because the introduction of tourist routes requires certain professional vocabulary and decorative vocabulary.

For the first time, they couldn't keep up.

The two of them spent a lot of foam this afternoon, and the guests who negotiated couldn't catch up with Angelo by half.

Of course, the most important thing is that Angelo's appearance is too deceptive.

In the land of the republic, with his own racial advantage, this kid can easily gain the trust of foreigners.

Plus, when he was in the United States, he wasn't a good bird.

Crooked and evil ways plus grandson, this kid he knows everything.

In this way, he can not only easily persuade foreigners to choose the most expensive route.

I can often rely on my own good mouth that has been smeared with olive oil to "smack" the work of the accompanying tour guide.

I can even cooperate with the pedaling person very tacitly, and ask for a tip in a different way.

That's really "the townsman sees the fellow, and you don't have to discuss".

To put it bluntly, this job is as if heaven and earth were set for him, and it is like a fish in water.

It is no exaggeration to say that this afternoon, after a hasty calculation, he earned one hundred and thirty-four just from the commission money of the sports car.

There are also five tour guides, and he earns more than 100 yuan.

But that's not all, didn't you just say that?

He also had an extra tip to share the profits.

To put it bluntly, even the coachmen are not good at stubble.

These boys are polite and disciplined on the surface, but those who have been exposed to meat will never be willing to eat vegan.

In his bones, he is shrewd and shrewd, slippery, and some things can be learned without being taught.

You see, you really get to the place, or come back in a circle.

It's time to get out of the car, and the boys are starting to play tricks.

What does that mean?

Half of the towels on their shoulders were soaked in water in advance.

Fold it over your shoulders, dry it on top, wet on the bottom, and your back will definitely be wet.

The white hand towel on the shoulder of getting out of the car wiped his face again, and his face was also wet.

Looking at it is like pedaling a car and sweating, it is really a sight to behold, and the word "hard" is revealed.

Think about it, what is the picture of a foreigner riding a tricycle?

Isn't it just a freshness and fun.

As long as they have fun, this is nothing compared to the fare of a taxi.

Especially as a visitor from a developed country, not only does he have the habit of tipping, but he also has a sense of superiority and hypocritical kindness.

Seeing that on a hot day, the coachman served them so hard, could they go with their hearts?

At this time, the Italian slippery head known as the "Chinese among Europeans" played a good person.

The inside should be combined with the outside, and the vinegar should be added.

Claiming that the price of the car is simply the cost of renting a car, the drivers can only live on tips.

What would be the result?

In the words of the capital, this is called "coaxing the seedlings".

Shengsheng is to carry these white, red, pink "crooked nuts" up.

Who said that foreigners don't have a good face? They are all human beings, all the same!

Looking at the "bitter haha" appearance of the drivers, this compassion is rising, and no longer pay some extra embarrassment?

If nothing else, basically every driver will be able to get a big ticket for a tip.

Even the most picky French, who are now commonly known as "French pickers", have to give all the change in their hands.

And not to mention the money, they still have to give the drivers a thumbs up.

Some even asked for a group photo, but they couldn't wait to go back and wash out the photos, and they had to point and look at them and praise them to friends and family.

It was really confused, like a spinning top that had been pumped.

Anyway, this afternoon, Angelo's several jobs were all like this, and they didn't go empty.

Counting the cars he sits, almost every time they set off together in three or four cars.

Tips are not payable to the public, and they are taken for themselves.

In this way, he drove three or seven with the coachmen, and he got another fifty or sixty yuan.

Think about it, how much does it all add up?

According to the official exchange rate of 1:2.32 at the time, this kid's income that day was more than 100 US dollars, which was the most he received.

Well, in this way, it can almost top the average salary of two American white-collar workers in a month.

And these are six cars, the supply exceeds the demand, and many times there is no work without a car.

If you really have enough cars, then the income will be even more boundless!

Thinking about the future, this kid is working hard to be this "foreign nursery".

How can the heart not be beautiful?
