Chapter 256 - Airport Tax Refund

The plane from Rome to Paris took off at half past five in the afternoon.

At half past seven o'clock that night, the plane landed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.

After getting off the plane, the tour guide Xiao Luo very responsibly led the golden autumn group to the transit waiting hall of the airport.

At this time, the members of the Golden Autumn Group discovered that the situation at Charles de Gaulle Airport was really as the tour guide Xiao Luo said when he was in Rome:

The departure hall is full of people inside and out, and tourists from all over the world!

There are arrivals, departures, and transfers!

Crowded, bustling!

If anyone wants to take a group photo here, it's really difficult!

"Okay, friends of the Golden Autumn Troupe, everyone's plane back to China will take off at 22:35 according to Paris time, that is, at 4:35 in the morning Beijing time!

When you arrive in Shanghai, it's about half past one tomorrow afternoon.

Now, there are still three hours before your scheming takes off. Here, I would like to remind you of three things. ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo led the Golden Autumn Group to a check-in counter for Chinese flights, and said sincerely:

"First of all, everyone will be at this counter to check in and check in;

The second thing is that after completing the check-in formalities, you can go to the tax refund counter over there to go through the tax refund procedures. As long as you show the receipt of goods purchased in Western European countries, the tax refund counter will refund everyone according to the corresponding proportion;

The third thing is that after everyone enters the departure hall after the security check, there is still a duty-free shop inside. If any of your friends still want to buy goods, you can also buy them inside!

Let me give you an example, like our 'Zhonghua brand' cigarettes made in China, it costs more than 700 yuan to buy them in China, right? What about buying in the departure lounge? As long as it is more than 40 euros, converted into RMB, it is about 500 yuan. Of course, there are some other domestic products, which can be purchased at the counter in the departure hall, which are also much cheaper than those in China!

Well, dear friends, now, I'm going to break up with you!

I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet you all in the future!

Here, allow me to sincerely wish you all a happy journey, a prosperous career, and a happy family! ”

After the tour guide Xiao Luo finished speaking, he took two steps back, and then bowed deeply to all the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe.

"Oh, Xiao Luo, in the past few days, you have accompanied the Western European countries around us, taking care of all the way, and guiding all the way, thank you so much! Please remember, after graduating from studying abroad, you are welcome to work in our company immediately! We are 'a gentleman's word, a horse is difficult to chase'! ”

It was still Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, who heard that the tour guide was saying goodbye to the Golden Autumn Group, and immediately rushed forward and held Xiao Luo's hands tightly.

"Yes, Mr. Liu is right, Xiao Luo, we have been in Western Europe for seven days, thanks to your careful care before and after running. You are welcome to contact us when you return to your home country! ”

"Yes, Xiao Luo, in these seven days, we have established a deep relationship! When you return home, you must contact us! ”

The other members of the Golden Autumn Troupe, like Mr. Liu, heard that Xiao Luo was leaving, and they all stepped forward to shake hands with her cordially.

After the tour guide Xiao Luo left, the members of the Golden Autumn Group lined up in front of the check-in counter and checked in and checked in in turn.

Then, the members went to the tax refund counter to go through the tax refund procedures.

Liping and Mengdu, like everyone else, went to the tax refund counter at the airport after checking in.

Liping sorted out the receipts for the goods purchased by the couple on this tour and handed them to the counter staff.

According to the information on the receipt, the staff enters the computer one by one, and then automatically calculates it through the computer, and soon the tax refund rate is different according to different goods. They were refunded more than one hundred and thirty euros in excise tax.

"Yo, Mengdu, you see in Western Europe, saying that there is a tax rebate, there is a tax refund, and there are so many refunds! It seems that this developed country is a developed country! ”

Liping took the euro returned from the tax refund and expressed her feelings to Mengdu with deep touch.

"Yes, we should have bought more goods to know that tax refund at the airport is so convenient!"

Mengdu also nodded in agreement.

After completing the tax refund procedures, the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment lined up to pass through the security check according to the display on the navigation board and entered the waiting hall one by one.

Because I remembered the previous introduction of the tour guide Xiao Luo, when I entered the waiting hall, some of the members of the Golden Autumn Group entered the duty-free shop in the waiting hall and went there to see the prices of various goods.

Sure enough, the prices of the goods in the tax refund shop are much cheaper than those in the outside store!

For example, the Belgian "Gillian" chocolate is only 12.5 euros a box outside the airport!

Of course, the most surprising thing for the members of the Golden Autumn Group is the price of tobacco and alcohol made in China mentioned by the tour guide Xiao Luo:

A "Zhonghua" brand soft-pack cigarette is indeed only sold for 42 euros, which is equivalent to more than 500 yuan;

A bottle of Feitian "Moutai" wine is only sold for 53 euros, which is equivalent to more than 640 yuan!

If it is in China, a soft "China" will cost at least 720 yuan;

A bottle of Feitian "Moutai" costs at least 1,200 yuan!

The members of the Golden Autumn Regiment immediately rushed to buy in the duty-free shop:

Someone buys five "Chinese" cigarettes;

There are also people who buy five bottles of "Moutai" national liquor.

There are also people who buy clothes, chocolates and other goods.

The most stumbling thing is the Shandong big man Mr. Liu and his two fellow countrymen.

After they entered the duty-free shop, each of them bought 10 "Zhonghua" cigarettes and 10 bottles of "Moutai" national liquor!

The mouth kept regretting and saying:

"It's a pity I can't take it, it's a pity I can't take it!"

It's like they don't need money for the goods they have.

Following the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe, Liping used the euros returned from the tax refund to buy fifteen boxes of Belgian "Gillian" chocolates at the duty-free shop after asking for the opinion of Mengdu; In addition, she bought two "Zhonghua" brand soft-packaged cigarettes, which Liping was going to give to her father, Zhang Xueru.

After Liping bought the goods at the duty-free shop, Mengdu took out her mobile phone and made a special call home.

It was Mengdu's mother who answered the phone.

Mengdu told his mother in his mobile phone:

"Mom, I'm at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. In half an hour, Liping and I will be on the plane. Our plane will arrive in Shanghai at about half past one tomorrow afternoon; You asked Uncle Hao to arrange a car to pick us up at Shanghai Pudong Airport, okay? ”

After receiving her son's call, the mayor's wife seemed very happy!

She told her son in a hoarse voice:

"Son, don't worry! Yesterday afternoon, Hao Min's father had arranged for a car, which was the 'Land Rover' off-road vehicle driven by Xiao Jiang of the Municipal Government Office! Last night, Xiao Jiang had already driven to Shanghai! ”

The mayor's wife told her son:

"Tomorrow, after you get off the plane, you can call the driver Xiao Jiang, and he will be waiting for you at the exit of the airport. Oh, by the way, Mengdu, do you have Xiao Jiang's phone? Oh, and your phone is already stored? Well, good, good! Son, did you enjoy your trip to Western Europe? And Liping, Liping's body is fine, right? ”

When talking to her son, the mayor's wife couldn't hold her mouth, as if her son was not going back.

"Mengdu, you don't have to say a word to your mother, the current Beijing time, it should be four o'clock in the morning!"

Liping, who was sitting next to Mengdu, listened to her husband and mother-in-law talking on the phone, and was worried that it would disturb the rest of her mother-in-law and father-in-law, so she reminded Mengdu softly.

Mengdu then remembered that the time difference between Paris and Beijing was more than six hours, and the domestic time at this time was not more than four o'clock in the morning?

Probably he was also worried that it would affect his parents' rest, so he said into his mobile phone:

"Mom, we'll be home tomorrow. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.
