Chapter 1475: Passing by
"Uncle, we want to go here, do you know?" the young translator handed a note to the taxi driver.
The drivers guarding the door of the foreign-related hotel are all trained, and Lao Ge, who is in first place, read the note, and then looked at the foreigner behind the little translator, so he nodded and quoted: "The distance is quite far, it costs hundreds of yuan, and besides, there is no place to play over there." ”
"Foreigners just want to see ordinary Beijing, they have never been to China, everything is new, they don't want to see scenic things, they want to see the lives of ordinary Chinese." The little translator smiled.
l Lao Ge scolded in his heart for "being idle", and said with a smile on his face: "You can go if you want, 500 yuan back and forth." ”
"Is it okay to play the watch?" the little translator wanted to fight for.
Lao Ge scolded "traitor" again in his heart, then shook his head firmly, and said: "You tell the foreigner that the watch is broken, if you want to go, you can give cash, give 20 yuan less foreign exchange, and don't go again." ”
In these years, taxi drivers can be said to be the most unreverent Chinese, mainly slaughtered more, and after cutting open the intestines and stomachs inside, there is no fear.
Nowadays, in large cities where taxis are available, the total number of taxis is also limited, and although the meter installed in the car is popular with customers, it is not popular with drivers, and everyone can use it without it.
Some advanced experience is still circulating among drivers.
For example, in Shang@Hai, last year, there was a driver who charged 100 US dollars for carrying a foreigner for 10 kilometers, and he was cited by the drivers for a while and followed suit.
In 88 years, 100 US dollars was used a lot, and no matter whether it was a family of three, four, or five, they could not eat 100 yuan for a month! Shanghainese from ordinary families took 100 US dollars, married a daughter-in-law, held a wedding, and raised a baby to be brought to the kindergarten for full nursery school and brought to the primary school.
It can be said that taxi drivers in big cities were the best of the three most popular jobs in the 80s. is the most popular in the most popular job.
Of course, the story of 100 dollars for 10 kilometers is still too exaggerated, so much so that after it was reported, it caused a big reform of the Shang@hai taxi market.
Volkswagen Taxi was born, and 500 red Santanas were unveiled, known as the Red Whirlwind.
The south has been reformed, but the capital has not responded to the changes, and the meter is still used if you want to, and there are a lot of refusal to take a bypass and directly slaughter it. From this point of view, no matter how high-end the taxi industry is, it is impossible to take the initiative to improve service awareness, not to mention Santana, the rarity of Tianjin Dafa has also exceeded the BMW 5 series of later generations, and the drivers are still smiling on the surface, with knives in their hands.
However, in the 80s, those who could afford to sit in a taxi, or in other words, those who could afford to be slaughtered were not foreigners, or executives working in foreign companies.
Foreigners who come to China don't want to be slaughtered, but they have no choice but to bargain and slaughter.
According to the nationality and dress of the guests, the bottom line is naturally spelled out, even if there is a small translator involved, the price is only cut to 420 yuan, and you have to pay US dollars.
Foreign exchange is of course good, but the value is also different, and Chinese who do not often deal with foreigners do not understand this. However, taxi drivers who often secretly exchange currency know that the US dollar is the strongest and best to sell, and the Hong Kong dollar is not bad, but it is not popular with foreigners, and it is not good to reverse it twice......
If you know a thing about economics, a taxi driver might say the word "liquidity", but even if you don't know economics, you can make the right decision through the simple concept: you can get a discount for the dollar, and you can add money for the ruble.
The guest of the little translator gave us dollars, and when it was time to get on the bus, he barely got the smile of the driver.
"Why don't I take you to the Great Wall to play, the place you go to is weird, there is nothing. While driving, Lao Ge asked the little translator to help deliver the words. This is the route of their long-distance running, and there are still a lot of cats in the middle.
The little translator gave the translator, turned his head and muttered to the foreigner twice, and said, "Mr. James doesn't like the cultural landscape, so he wants to see the pure scenes of human life." ”
"On the way to the Great Wall, there are many remote places, why don't you stop by and see them together?" Lao Ge smiled: "You guest is very strange." ”
"Mr. James is more self-conscious. The little translator continued to argue with the master's family.
Lao Ge persuaded two more words, and found that he could not effectively increase his income, so he chose to give up, drove silently, and reminded him when he was about to reach the place.
Mr. James, who had been keeping an eye out the window, smiled, took out a camera, and snapped a picture.
Lao Ge looked in the rearview mirror twice, but his heart was turbulent.
He is not a person who has never seen the world, but ordinary foreigners will not waste film so much.
Not to mention spending money or not, the car is driving so fast, what kind of scene can be caught outside the window?
In addition, there is nothing special about the scenery on this road, it is nothing more than factories with big chimneys, large areas of farmland and patches of private houses, not to mention the cultural landscape, and the natural landscape is not very interesting.
"Papapapa"
The sound of photographs in the back seat is noticeably denser.
Lao Ge suddenly woke up and couldn't help but look carefully to both sides.
A unit with a small sign flashed quickly past the side of the road. The large chimneys and small windows, like the factories of many units, are horizontal on the side of the road, making it difficult to see inside.
If it was an ordinary person, it might be strange, but Lao Ge was different.
Lao Ge has received counter-espionage education. Taxi drivers in the whole city have been trained, and not once, in previous years, almost every year.
In the words of the counselor, the taxi drivers in the city are all counter-espionage commanders and fighters who stand on the front line.
Lao Ge couldn't help but force his feet and stepped on the accelerator deeply.
The old car, which had been driven for seven or eight years, was bumped in an instant.
"Slow down, slow down. The foreigner immediately shouted in English.
"Sorry, sorry......" Lao Ge learned to say twice, slowed down slightly, and quickly drove through the section of the big chimney and small window.
The foreigner said something unhappily, so he put away the camera, and didn't take it out again until he returned to take pictures, but the place where he concentrated on taking pictures did not change in the slightest.
Lao Ge is a caring person, and when he noticed this, he reduced the speed of the car to make it more comfortable for foreigners to shoot.
The interpreter ignorantly conveyed the other party's thanks: "Mr. James had a great time and decided to tip you an extra $5." ”
"Thank you, thank you. Lao Ge stretched out his hand as he spoke, and said, "Give me the fare with it." ”
The translator frowned and said, "Shouldn't you get out of the car and give it?"
"There are a lot of people in the place where you get off the bus, so let the workers know that I have a big order and want me to treat you, how cost-effective it is for me. ”
This reason was very reluctant, but under Lao Ge's repeated requests, the foreigner still paid the full fare plus tips.
Lao Ge stuffed it into his trouser pocket, hit the steering wheel, and drove straight to the nearest police station.
"I got a spy for you. Lao Ge saw the policeman in uniform in the yard, and shouted as soon as he stopped with the brakes.
The policeman glanced at Lao Ge strangely, but it was not the kind of enemy that Lao Ge imagined, or the expression of visiting the psychotic, it was more like ......
"It's the third one this week, isn't it? The policeman said something that was half incomprehensible, and bent down to invite James out of the back seat.
