Chapter 940: Touching and Warm
Ye Ming heard Director Mu's last solemn words, and felt a little funny in his heart: In fact, in this kind of specialty store that relies on tour guides to lead business, what discounts and discounts are all good. [No pop-ups] especially jade trading, the so-called "gold is priceless and jade is priceless", the prices on the jade in the specialty store are some "rip-off" prices that far exceed their own prices, and the space for counter-offers is so large that you can't imagine it.
Once, Ye Ming traveled to Dali, Yunnan with a group, and in a jade shop, a colleague fell in love with a jade bracelet with a price tag of more than 13,000 yuan. So, the colleague began to bargain with the boss, cutting the price of more than 13,000 yuan to 800 yuan in one go, not a penny more. As a result, in the end, the boss really sold the jade bracelet to Ye Ming's colleague for 800 yuan.
From this incident, Ye Ming knew that the difference between the marked price and the actual price of the jade in those jade shops in the tourist area was very large. Therefore, what Mu Dao said about "helping travelers and friends to get discounts" is actually a big fool - because there is no problem of discounts and discounts when buying jade, as long as you are ruthless and don't want any discounts and discounts, you can also buy jade that is cheaper than the so-called "preferential price" and "discount price".
The reason why Mu Dao repeatedly emphasized that the travelers who sold jade should tell her first was that there was only one purpose: she and the driver had to know the price of the jade that the traveler bought, and then go to the store to get a certain percentage of the commission according to this price. Ye Ming estimates that for such a lucrative product, the tour guide's commission may be as high as 15% or even 20%. That is to say: if you join this group and buy 10,000 yuan of jade in this jade shop, Director Mu and the driver can get a commission of at least 1,500 yuan......
However, Ye Ming would not say these words, but secretly thought about it in his heart - after all, this is also a means for tour guides and drivers to make money, and it is the one who is willing to take the bait, and he can't offend them again. Moreover, this jade shop is also a shopping attraction stipulated in the contract, so there is nothing to say.
After that Mu Dao introduced the benefits and characteristics of Lantian Moyu in a dazzling manner, he saw that everyone was silent, so he asked, "Do you have any questions?" If it's no problem, we'll go to visit the Lantian Moyu store later, and the time is an hour. ”
At this time, Ye Ming suddenly remembered that he was going to the "Zhangjiahe Dog's Head Jujube Store" to buy dates, so he asked: "Director Mu, I know that when we go to Yan'an tomorrow, we will go to a dog-head jujube store to shop, which is what we agreed in the contract." I would like to ask: Can this store be selected in the 'Zhangjiahe Dog Head Jujube Store'? Many people say that the dates in this specialty store are the most famous and the best. Since we are going shopping, let's choose the best store! ”
In fact, this "Zhangjiahe Dog's Head Jujube Store" is also one of the shops that Mu Dao contacted to take tourists to buy dates. However, she was now very disgusted with Ye Ming and Chen Mengqi, and she didn't believe that they would buy many dates at all. Therefore, she glanced at Ye Ming with disdainful eyes, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, the store we selected to buy dates this time is near Yangjialing, Yan'an, and it is far from the Zhangjiahe doghead date store. If you want to buy Zhangjiahe's dates, go by car, our tour bus is not obliged to serve the two of you! ”
Ye Ming knew that he had completely offended this Mu Dao and the minibus master now, and he guessed that she might answer like this, so he stopped bothering with her, smiled, and stopped asking.
At this time, Chen Mengqi had also woken up from his drowsy state, and also heard what Director Mu had just said about Lantian Moyu, he tilted his head thoughtfully and thought about it, and suddenly asked in a weak voice: "Brother Ye, last night and after taking a bath, I heard you talking to someone on the phone, as if Chen Yi and her son had returned to Tianjiang." Is it true? ”
Ye Ming couldn't figure out why she suddenly asked about this sensitive matter, nodded a little embarrassedly, and said, "That's right, it was Director Lu Nianzi from the capital who called me last night, and it was my godsister." Chen Yi and Benben lived in Director Lu's house. Director Lu told me last night: Chen Yi and Benben went to Secretary Li's house to show Secretary Li what Benben looked like. I also found out last night. ”
Chen Mengqi nodded, and said with a little envy: "I heard Sister Zhang Yan say: The child you and Chen Yi gave birth to is very strong, very cute, and very similar to you." At that time, I was fantasizing: What will Brother Ye's children look like? How is it similar to Brother Ye? Alas, it's a pity that I'm not in Tianjiang Province now, I really want to see you and Chen Yi's children as soon as possible! ”
Ye Ming couldn't keep up with her thinking, and she didn't know why she suddenly said such a thing, so she had to follow her words: "Won't you also go back to Tianjiang in a few days?" If you don't mind, you can go check out Benben! Don't worry, Sister Chen Yi is also very sympathetic to you, and she doesn't have any opinions and opinions on you in her heart. So, if you go to see Benben, she will be very happy. ”
Chen Mengqi heard Ye Ming say that Chen Yi was also very sympathetic to her, smiled bitterly, and a sentence that made Ye Ming extremely embarrassed came out of her mouth: "Yes, I am similar to Sister Chen Yi, and we are both fallen people at the end of the world!" ”
Ye Ming knew the bitterness and helplessness in her words, and he couldn't answer her, so he had to hold her tightly in his arms, and kept rubbing her hair with his palms to express a silent apology......
Chen Mengqi crouched quietly in Ye Ming's arms for a few minutes, then suddenly raised his head and said to Ye Ming: "Wait for that Moyu specialty store, you can help me refer to it, I want to buy a gift for Xiao Benben." Jade is an auspicious item, children wear jade, can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, health and peace. I don't know much about jade, so wait for you to choose one for me, okay? ”
Ye Ming was taken aback when he heard Chen Mengqi suddenly say that he was going to buy a gift for Xiao Benben, and it was jade, knowing that if she didn't buy it, she would definitely buy the most expensive jade as soon as she bought it. Then, I felt very warm and touched in my heart, and whispered: "Kiki, you are such a kind and good girl!" Actually, I'm still worried that you will hold a grudge against Sister Chen Yi, and even be angry with Xiao Benben! Unexpectedly, you not only want to see Xiao Benben, but also buy him expensive gifts, which really makes me know what to say! ”
Chen Mengqi shook her head, smiled sadly and said, "Brother Ye, did you know that I was a good girl until now?" The matter between me and you, I can't complain about Sister Chen Yi, and I can't complain about running around, why do I hate them? To be honest, I really want to give birth to a healthy and lively baby for you like Sister Chen Yi now, just like Xiao Benben - do you understand my thoughts? ”
