Chapter 38: It's hard to buy a daughter, and the master is happy
Tang Tianchen originally just wanted to find someone to compose the music, but he didn't expect to get a cheap master by mistake, and after thinking about it, it is not a bad thing to have a big man in the composition industry to be a master.
At least in the future, the songs that you plagiarized can also rise and sell at a higher price. No matter how many excellent songs he sells, people will only praise one sentence: Famous teachers produce high apprentices!
Zhang Fengze still attaches great importance to this closed disciple, his talent is simply unseen in his life, it is simply an uncarved piece of beautiful jade.
The several apprentices he had accepted before were estimated to be less talented than him alone, and he believed that if he taught carefully, his future achievements would be absolutely limitless.
Feng Ze also likes the song "Sea and Sky" very much, I heard that the little apprentice plans to sing this song at the freshman party, which is related to the debut of his closed disciple, how can he be sloppy.
Under Aiwu and Wuxia, Zhang Fengze proposed to personally guide Tang Tianchen's four-person rehearsal in order to achieve the best results. So in the next few days, Tang Tianchen drove a few people to Zhang Lao's singing room every day to rehearse......
Several people in the 303 dormitory themselves have a certain musical foundation, Tian Ye can play almost any musical instrument, Xu Tian is a good guitar in order to play handsome, Qi Yang and Xu Tian are similar, but he can also play drums and pianos, coupled with Zhang Fengze's careful tuning and teaching, the cooperation of several people is becoming more and more tacit, and the effect of the performance is getting better and better day by day.
After all, Zhang Lao is old and his energy is a little lacking, Xu Tianwei and the three of them are all sons and brothers, and they were enthusiastic at first, but later they began to be listless and passive and slacking off, so Tang Tianchen proposed to rehearse for half a day every morning, and everyone was free to move freely in the afternoon, which was unanimously approved by everyone.
Then Tang Tianchen began the daily rehearsal in the morning and the taxi in the afternoon......
Although the income of running a taxi in the past few days is basically three times the average monthly income of ordinary people, Tang Tianchen is not satisfied.
For ordinary people in this era, earning more than 10,000 yuan a month is already quite a remarkable thing. But for the Reborn, that's a joke.
People are more angry than people!
Tang Tianchen sometimes can't help but complain: Why is it that after others are reborn, the family is either rich and rivals the country, or the power is overwhelming, and then the actor only needs to be responsible for picking up girls and playing cool, stepping on people and pretending to be compared, and just losers.
There are also people like him who came from a poor background after crossing over, but immediately got a strange treasure, and since then he has been promoted and raised, served as CEO, married Bai Fumei, and reached the pinnacle of life......
In his previous life, when Tang Tianchen read online articles, he always sprayed the author with too big a gold finger for the protagonist, which felt very boring......
Now it's his turn to be the protagonist, he can't wait for the golden finger to open bigger than the sky, it's best to have unlimited money, not to grow old and not die, and the peach blossom luck max......
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
Up to now, Tang Tianchen had tried various methods, and after countless disappointments, he finally recognized a fact:
In addition to the enhancement of memory, the things of the previous life are remembered more clearly, and I don't have any golden fingers at all, and there is no difference between me and ordinary people in other aspects.
Alas, it's all tears! Let's figure out how to make money quickly!
Cheng Ning's surgery fees, family expenses, and the schooling of other children of the Tang family...... Now there are still many places to spend money at home, and it is far from enough for him to earn this money.
It turns out that the simple taxi can indeed make money, but it is not enough, Tang Tianchen decided to change his business thinking: take the boutique route and cheat foreigners' money!
As the capital, Yanjing is significantly better than other places in terms of per capita income and ability to accept new things, and most cities in China do not have taxis at all.
At present, the monthly per capita income is less than 100, and a taxi ride costs at least 35 yuan, and ordinary people can't afford to spend it at all.
In Yanjing, the people who often take taxis are basically concentrated in a few categories: Mrs. Kuo who is older than 35 years old, white-collar workers of foreign companies who are not more than 25 years old, children of rich families who are younger than 20 years old, and foreigners.
Even if the rest of the people have the financial strength, they generally choose buses, and a small number choose private cars.
Among them, the business of foreigners and the children of rich families is the best to do, because they are generally very cheerful. Some Mrs. Kwok will also complain that the fees are too expensive. The business of young female white-collar workers in foreign companies is the most difficult to do, and they generally take taxis to catch up with fashion, support the scene, and will fight with you for a dollar.
Now for most Chinese people, taking a taxi is already a luxury, and if Tang Tianchen raises the price again, then the business will definitely not be able to do.
However, he can earn foreigners' money, and now there are still many foreigners who come to Yanjing for tourism or official business trips, these people are not familiar with the place, and they are either rich or reimbursed with public funds, and they will not care about spending more money on the car.
Tang Tianchen drove the car to Armani's car dealership, cleaned the car, touched up the paint on the outside, polished, waxed, oiled, replaced the floor pads, replaced the cushions with cool bamboo, and replaced the air conditioning in the car with the best ...... In short, the service should be the best for the passengers, and the money is worth it.
This is not enough, Tang Tianchen will also Yanjing several famous attractions, hotels, restaurants, department stores ...... Collect a large stack of leaflets in other places, and then bind them into a booklet for foreign tourists to read, although they may not understand Chinese characters, but they can understand the pictures!
Of course, Tang Tiancheng did not forget to ...... with these hotels, restaurants, and shopping malls Sign a verbal agreement, and the guests he introduces will give him a certain percentage of the commission after consumption, which is the trick used by the travel agency in later generations.
Tang Tianchen had a hunch that he might succeed, but he also thought that after the change, his business would be so hot, his daily income had increased three or four times on the original basis, and his daily turnover income could exceed 1,000.
Many foreigners who have been served by him are full of praise for him and then introduce them to their relatives and friends. Soon Tang Tianchen made a name for himself among foreigners in Yanjing and set up his own signboard.
Why does Tang Tianchen charge more than 10 times that of other taxi drivers, but why is his taxi business so hot? The main reason for this is that he has four major advantages:
First, language. 99.9% of the current Chinese people do not know English, and many people may not even have seen foreigners in their lives, and among the taxi drivers in Yanjing, Tang Tianchen is the only one who can communicate with foreigners in English.
Second, service. Tang Tianchen's car is not in grade, beautiful, tidy, and comfortable...... is much higher than ordinary taxis, and Tang Tianchen is not as cold as ordinary taxi drivers, he really treats guests as the highest VIPs:
Get on and off the bus and take the initiative to open the car door for you, protect your head with your hands when getting in and out of the car to avoid bumping, smile service, never get tired of asking, enthusiastically and carefully help guests introduce local customs, take the initiative to help transport luggage to the door of the hotel after arrival, and help with parasols when meeting female guests......
Third, personal charisma. Tang Tianchen's hair was neatly groomed, with a white shirt on his upper body, a suit and tie on his body, and trousers and leather shoes on his lower body. Coupled with handsome facial features and a model-like figure, even with the aesthetics of a foreigner, I can't help but give a thumbs up and say "CuteGuy!" ”。
Not only that, but after going through the Internet era in the past life, no matter what information you need, you can easily find it online.
Although he has never been abroad, Tang Tianchen has been in major tourism forums all year round, bragging and irrigating water, and he has done a lot of things to pretend to be an international student, and his insight is very amazing:
He chatted with American guests about the Grand Canyon, the statue of the Wall Street bull, Hollywood ......, football with British guests, gentlemen, the Industrial Revolution, and French people about music, the saddle steak, the Louvre......
Fourth, marketing. As soon as the guests got on the bus, he began to constantly publicize and hype himself, put the English newspaper that reported him in the most conspicuous place, made a photo album with the photos of previous guests and the praise and blessings of others, and constantly used psychological hints and other means to make the guests understand:
You are enjoying the best service and the best that his service can provide at the moment.
Also let the guest understand why he charges more than others. Just like luxury, however, the finest cars, the most top-of-the-line equipment, the most warm and attentive service...... All the best combined, still below the list price of his charge.
The price difference in the middle is precisely people's desires, added value and emotional consumption, it is the sweet and warm feeling of this dreamy and foreign first encounter brought by Tang Tianchen, which is something that others can never give.
At the same time, it is solemnly promised that if the guest does not feel this way after accepting the service or is not satisfied with his service, he can get a full refund. Because Tang Tianchen's service level is indeed far beyond that of the same kind, this situation has never happened.
Imagine how proud and happy you would be if you came to a strange country and met someone who was handsome, warm and thoughtful, spoke the same language as you, and was full of admiration for your country and nation. Will this beautiful encounter be ruined by a small amount of money?
So Tang Tianchen became popular, and in less than three days, there began to be repeat customers, and gradually foreigners came to him, only willing to take his car, and disdained other taxis.
Due to the lack of skills and too many guests, Tang Tianchen could only raise the price again and only accept reservations. Despite this, Tang Tianchen's BP machine is going to be blown up every day.
Yes, BP machine, also called pager, pager, as a post-90s born in 94, Tang Tianchen saw and used this kind of thing for the first time.
There are two ways of manual convergence and automatic convergence of BP machine, and the corresponding paging station is called manual paging station and automatic paging station.
Manual paging stations require manual operation to encode this information through the transmitter and send a signal. According to the line number of the incoming call, the automatic paging station automatically finds out the phone number of the pager and sends it out at the same time, so that the pager knows which phone is the pager.
There is no such thing as a mobile phone in China, and even the kind of big brother that looks like a brick will not enter China until the year after that.
After Tang Tianchen received the prompt on the BP machine, he used the public phone to go back to the other party to learn more and complete the reservation.
It's so inconvenient to not have a mobile phone!
Tang Tianchen is a little nostalgic for the first mobile phone he bought in his previous life - Nokia E71.
Unfortunately, this phone didn't go on sale in China until 2008!
