Chapter 159: You Come and I Go
On a cruise ship bound for the Hippopotamus galaxy, a variety of passengers crowd the ship's service hall. In order to be able to transport the long-backlogged cargo as soon as possible, the cruise ship adopted the method of boarding the ship first and then buying tickets, so as to buy more time.
These passengers, who managed to squeeze onto the ship, had to queue up again and go to the service window on the ship to buy tickets. The number of cabins on the ship is limited, and the number of people crammed on board is several times higher than usual, so it becomes extremely difficult to buy one.
Some of the business savvy people immediately saw the opportunity and made a good profit by selling the cabin tickets they bought to others at a premium price.
These scalpers who resell cabin tickets shuttle through the queues, constantly selling their tickets to the people in line, from the most ordinary cabins to the most luxurious cabins, which makes people admire the methods of these scalpers.
However, most of the passengers are just ordinary people, ordinary ferry tickets are not cheap, after being handled by scalpers, the price has increased several times or even more than ten times, and many people shake their heads again and again when they hear the price.
Outside the long queues, some people are waiting and waiting to buy tickets sooner or later if they don't want to snap up cabins, so some are not in a hurry to queue.
Those who refuse to stand in line are either too poor and can save some money if they don't buy a cabin ticket; Either that's too rich and doesn't intend to squeeze in with ordinary people at all.
The scalpers focused on these people who refused to stand in line, and they specifically asked people who were so well-dressed and dressed, and although these people would complain a few words when they heard the price, they still paid for more than half of the votes.
"This lady, do you need a cabin? I have first class, first class, and second class here, and if you want a luxury class, I can get it for you. A scalper said to a richly dressed middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged lady had been sitting in her chair since just now, constantly looking around, and it was obvious that she was frightened by the long line, so she kept sweeping around with her eyes looking for help, hoping to find someone she knew.
The scalpers saw the opportunity, so they took the initiative to ask, according to previous experience, such a noble lady does not care much about the price, and the possibility of a transaction is very high.
The middle-aged lady asked a little nervously, "Do you really have a cabin ticket?" ”
"Then can there be a fake? I have all the tickets here, it depends on what you want to buy? The scalper replied with some smugness.
"That...... How much does a 2nd class cost? The lady asked cautiously.
The scalper smiled slightly and said softly: "It's not expensive, it's only fifteen thousand." ”
"What!" The middle-aged lady's eyes widened, as if she had seen something incredible.
"It's too expensive! The price of the mail shipping company is obviously only 3,000, how can you sell it for 15,000? ”
"Madame, aren't these extraordinary times? It's good to be able to buy it, but if you look at the people in line over there, you may not be able to buy it if you queue up all day. ”
"But that's too much! Can you get cheaper? I'll give you ...... Here you go...... How about ten thousand, ten thousand? The middle-aged lady bargained hesitantly.
"No, no, no, so I'll lose money, and the price is indispensable." The scalper shook his head like a rattle, and then said: "I won't tell you, the second-class tickets have long been sold out, and those in line can't buy them at all, if you don't want to, I'll sell it to others, the second-class cabin is the most sought-after, and others can't grab it." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged lady became even more hesitant, rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, and whispering in her mouth: "This is too expensive...... What can I do......
The scalper saw a lot of such hesitant guests, and immediately said, "Since Madame can't make up her mind, I won't bother, and the others are still waiting to buy my ticket." ”
When the middle-aged lady saw that the scalper was leaving, she hurriedly said, "Wait...... I bought it, fifteen thousand for fifteen thousand, alas......"
"That's right, instead of waiting here, it is better to buy a ticket to go to the cabin to rest earlier. Other places can be saved, but the cabin can not be saved. The scalper said with a smile on his face.
Soon the two completed the transaction, and the middle-aged lady quickly left the service hall with her handbag and disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, the scalper realized that there was an old man with white hair next to him who was watching him. The old man looked like a crane with a childish face, although he was not young, but his spiritual temperament was very full, especially the eyes that were particularly bright.
The scalper felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that the old man had been looking at him, but his professional instinct made him look at the other party a few more times, trying to judge from the other party's appearance whether the old man was a potential customer.
"The clothes are relatively ordinary, and some are old, the shoes are also very ordinary, and the travel bag next to him looks sturdy, but it is by no means the kind that rich people like......" The scalper quickly made up his mind to the old man, who was not rich.
So the scalper turned around and was about to leave, looking for the next target, but at this time, the old man suddenly stopped him.
"This little brother, come here." The old man smiled and beckoned to the scalper.
The scalper didn't want to pay attention to it, but the two were not far away, and there was no one else around, so he forcibly pretended not to hear something too fake, so he had to walk patiently towards the old man.
"Old man, what's the matter?" The scalper asked.
"This little brother, I was looking at you just now, do you have a ticket there?" The old man asked softly.
When the scalper heard about the other party's inquiry, he was overjoyed and said secretly: "I didn't expect someone to take the initiative to send it to the door." ”
"yes, I have a few extra tickets, do you need it?"
"Is there a ticket for this cabin, I want."
"Yes, there are first class, first class, second class, and luxury cabins are also available. Which one do the elderly want to buy? ”
"How much does first class cost?"
When the scalper saw that the old man actually inquired about the price of the first-class cabin, he was pleasantly surprised, and said secretly: "I really didn't expect it!" This old man turned out to be a rich man! ”
"Twenty-five thousand in first class." The scalper resisted the excitement in his heart and pretended to be calm.
"Oh, twenty-five thousand...... It's a little more expensive. The old man muttered and continued to ask, "What about the first class?" ”
"Twenty thousand."
The old man showed a hesitant look on his face, and the scalper immediately said again: "Old man, I won't tell you, now the cabin tickets have long been sold out, and those people in line are wasting time, and if you miss it now, you won't be able to buy it right away." ”
The old man nodded and sighed: "Yes, yes, I'm old, and I can't stand in line." Let me ask you more, how much does this deluxe cabin cost? ”
The scalper's eyes rolled and said secretly: "You won't be kidding me, right?" You can't afford to be in second class, and you still want to inquire about the luxury cabin? ”
However, the scalper still wanted to make this deal, so he replied patiently: "Deluxe cabin, that's precious, 60,000!" ”
"60,000? That's really expensive! The old man exclaimed.
"That's it, your old man will come to the second class."
"Second class is also very expensive, can it be cheaper?"
"No, I'm already selling it cheaply, and others are selling it more expensive than me."
"Can other cabins be cheaper?"
"No, either." The scalper said a little impatiently: "Old man, let me tell you this, the only thing that can be cheap is the luxury cabin, if you are willing to spend money, I will give you 20,000 yuan cheaper for the 60,000 luxury cabin, as long as 40,000 yuan?" ”
The scalper wanted to scare the old man and force the other party to make up his mind as soon as possible, the old man in the luxury cabin must not be able to afford it, and maybe the old man will buy the second-class ticket if he scares it.
The old man suddenly sighed and said, "Alas...... Then make a deal, 40,000 luxury cabins. ”
"Huh? This one...... Hey? The scalper's mouth opened wide, not knowing what to say.
Looking at the back of the scalper leaving in gray, the old man looked down at the e-ticket on his portable computer and couldn't help laughing softly.
"Hehe, play tricks with me, you're still a little tender." The old man said to himself.
At this moment, a young man walked quickly to the old man's side and said, "Old man Tang, I have a ticket in line, two second-class cabins." ”
The old man said lightly: "No need, we will go to live in the deluxe cabin now, and the two second-class cabins will be given to those who need it most." ”
After speaking, the old man walked towards the elevator leading to the luxurious cabin with relaxed and vigorous steps.
At the same time, on a mail ship bound for the imperial capital, a middle-aged man was lying on a large bed in a luxurious cabin, making a video call with others in a casual tone.
"Don't worry, I've already caught up with Director He Dong of the General Headquarters, and he has already helped me find my way." The middle-aged man smiled lightly.
"Can this man be trusted?"
The middle-aged man took a sip of champagne and said slowly: "Of course, you probably don't know, now He Dong is a celebrity in front of Gao Ban, as long as he guarantees the ticket, things will definitely be done!" ”
"In that case, why do you have to go back to Aqiu? That place is far away, why go back to the place where the birds don't? ”
"It was really not good before, but now it's different, now Yaqiu is a hot spot for investment, many large enterprises have built factories there, Yaqiu will soon become a rich place, at this time to go back, just to pick fruits!"
"Really? I didn't expect Yaqiu to have a time when the economy would take off. ”
"I didn't expect this, I can only say that feng shui takes turns, this time it's my turn to make a fortune! It's really in vain that I spent so much money to get through the relationship. The middle-aged man said triumphantly.
"Then I'll congratulate you in advance, Lord Ding Kai! There will be a chance to make a fortune in the future, but don't forget my brother. ”
"Don't worry, when I go to the imperial capital this time to get things done, I will go back to Yaqiu next, you can come with me immediately, and we will make a fortune together!" Take a look at the latest chapter of "Xinghan Imperial Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
