Chapter 159: Celebrating National Day Zhang Chi waited in the store for a while. Then I saw the old village chief and Uncle Daban walking over, talking and laughing. Uncle Daban is the old widower. He looks very old, but he has a muscular body and his dark skin is shiny. "Chizi, your uncle is here. Tell him what you want him to do first. He can't do anything that's too difficult, so as not to disturb your business." Zhang Chi looked at Uncle Daban and smiled, "It's actually very simple. I built a beach buggy site on the beach behind. I usually just help level the track and straighten the flagpoles that were knocked down by tourists." "It's that simple?" The old village chief and Uncle Daban were both stunned. “Ah, it’s that simple.” “2800 yuan a month, and three meals a day?” “Yeah.”
Seeing the old village chief frowning, Zhang Chi thought he was dissatisfied with the treatment, so he hurriedly explained: "This job is not difficult, it only takes one or two hours in the evening..." "no." The old village chief frowned and said, "You can't do such a simple job yourself? Why spend money to find someone to do it? You have money to burn?" "I, I'm sexy?" Zhang Chi was completely speechless. The old village chief may have realized his mistake and explained: "I mean you are burning money. You can do such a simple job by yourself. Why do you need to hire someone?" Uncle Daban was very tempted by the job, but after listening to the old village chief's scolding of Zhang Chi, he also felt that the money was a bit embarrassing. It’s such a simple job, paying 800 yuan a month, and any middle-aged woman in the village can do it. "Yeah, Chizi, you still wasted this money." Uncle Daban laughed dryly and said, "How about you give me a few hundred dollars a month, and I will do a good job for you." He still wanted to earn this money, plus the money he earned from pulling carts at the port, which was about one or two thousand yuan a month. Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment and said speechlessly: "Village Chief, don't think that this job is easy. You have to take care of such a large area by yourself, and occasionally you have to move tires and other things. This money is actually not easy to make. If you don't believe me, I will take you to see it." Zhang Chi is not a saint, so how could he give someone a high salary casually? He immediately took the two of them to the beach and gave them a general outline of what a venue manager should do. When the two heard this, they felt that although 2800 yuan a month was a bit too much, it was not so much that it would anger anyone. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? There is indeed some work. You can pay me 2000 yuan a month. Do you think you can do it?" The old village chief frowned and looked at Uncle Daban. Zhang Chi then came to his senses and realized that the village chief was helping him save money. When Uncle Daban heard that he was 800 yuan short, it was still better than going to the port to transport goods every day.
He immediately nodded and said, "I'll do it, Captain, don't worry, I will do this job beautifully for Chizi." The old village chief used to be the team leader arranged by the commune. Many older generations in the village were used to calling him team leader, and later they simply stopped changing the name and kept calling him that. Seeing this, the old village chief nodded with satisfaction. It’s not that he bullies Daban or looks down on him. After all, Daban is also from a different family. If his salary is higher than that of the villagers with the surname Long, how will those people view Zhang Chi? There will definitely be people spreading rumors that Zhang Chi treats outsiders better than the people from their Long family. That would make Zhang Chi unpopular both inside and outside. Therefore, it is necessary to deduct 800 yuan from Daban’s salary. However, after giving instructions to the boss. The old village chief still held Zhang Chi's hand and whispered to him, "How about giving Daban some bonus later? Just make sure he has an income of 2500 yuan a month. This way, the village will have one less person to support." Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Village Chief. An old man in the family is like a treasure, so I'll listen to you." "Hey, your flattery is stinky." The old village chief smiled and gave Uncle Daban a few more instructions, then he hummed a little tune and walked towards the parking lot opposite to join the chess game played by Lao Zhang and others. Zhang Chi saw him leave. Then he said to Uncle Daban: "Uncle Daban, don't worry, I will still pay you 2800 yuan a month, but I will give you 800 yuan at the end of the year. Is that okay with you?" Uncle Daban was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and thanked Zhang Chi repeatedly. Zhang Chi smiled and signaled him to just do his job well. Of course, we must tell others that I was only paid 2000 yuan. · Busy time always passes by in a flash. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Haisha also welcomed the extra-long National Day holiday. With Li Muqing's vigorous promotion and coordination of Dalong Mountain and several scenic spots, there are an unusually large number of tourists traveling to Shamen Town this year. Xiasha Village has also become a check-in point. Zhang Chi called Shang Gangzi to open the store early in the morning, and Long Jianchuan, who was opposite the parking lot, had already started the breakfast shop. It must be said that Long Jianchuan has a good business acumen. Now their food stall not only serves lunch and dinner, but also breakfast and midnight snacks. "Uncle Jianchuan, make two bowls of noodles first and come over to eat later." When Long Jianchuan saw Zhang Chi, he smiled and shouted, "I see. I'll ask Long Ji to deliver it to you." Zhang Chi looked at Long Ji and asked curiously, "Doesn't he have to go to cram school?"
When Long Ji heard this, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly shouted, "Dad, I, my stomach still hurts a little." Long Jianchuan raised his eyebrows and frowned, "This kid said he had a stomachache and was complaining that he couldn't go to school early in the morning. Sigh." Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and shook his head. We are all experienced people, and everyone knows Long Ji’s little thoughts. He just doesn’t want to go to school for extra lessons. Due to the relatively backward educational resources, Xiasha Village Primary School has specially organized two remedial classes to provide free tutoring to children who want to make progress, whether during winter or summer vacations or holidays. Of course, this money must have been allocated from the 50 donated by Zhang Chi. The person who coordinated this matter was Long Xiaoyun. Wow, it’s a free cram school, and the lesson plans are made by the special teacher Long Xiaoyun himself. If Zhang Chi had had this learning environment back then, he would have gone to Tsinghua University or Peking University long ago. Well, of course, it's a bit exaggerated for sure. However, Zhang Chi thought that if he had this condition, he would be able to lay a solid foundation in elementary school and should have no problem getting into a key university through the college entrance examination. Pity. Looking at this kid Longji, I really feel a bit disappointed with him. Not long after. Longji came over with two bowls of mixed noodles. There was a bit of resentment in Zhang Chi's eyes. His father had just said that he had to go to class in the afternoon no matter what, otherwise he would beat his butt. It’s Zhang Chi’s fault for being so talkative, otherwise he would have skipped a whole day of tutoring. "Get lost. I'm doing this for your own good, you ungrateful bastard." Gangzi didn't have as good a temper as Zhangchi, and he kicked Longji in the butt. The two of them are from the same family and are not beyond the third degree of mourning. Long Ji still has to call Long Jinggang "Third Uncle". By the way, this kid Long Ji is of the same generation as Long Xiaoyun and Daguang. "Uncle San, if you dare to hit me, I will tell my mom and tell her not to introduce you to blind dates anymore." "Get lost, I have a girlfriend." As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with surprised looks from Zhang Chi and Long Ji. Gangzi was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Chi speechlessly, and said: "It's Lu Yao, I'm in love with her online." Zhang Chi was speechless for a while. What era is it still online dating? You are amazing. · It was not yet 9 o'clock. The first tourist bus stopped in the parking lot opposite.
A few tourists came down to find a toilet to urinate, and smoked and drank at the entrance of the convenience store. Suddenly the roar of an engine attracted their attention. The tourists looked at each other and chose to walk towards the path at the back. What came into view was a whole stretch of white sandy beach with advertising flags fluttering in the wind on the beach. [National Day Special Offer · 180 yuan/hour] Looking at the two ATVs racing on the beach, the tourists were excited for a moment. They all ran to the tour guide to ask if they could skip going to Dalong Mountain and just play here. Today’s tour guides are very easy to talk to. Unlike in the past, they would not force tourists to shop or even set a schedule for peeing. Hearing that there was a beach, the tour guide curiously walked over to take a look. "Hey, I've led teams to Dalong Mountain so many times, but this is the first time I've seen a beach here." It’s no wonder that the tour guide looked like he had never seen the world. It was because the previous development work in Xiasha Village was not good, and the national highway went to Dalong Mountain faster. If a tourist hadn't been unable to hold it any longer, the tour guide wouldn't have asked the driver to drive the car to the county road to find a toilet. Of course, the greatest credit should go to Shen Feifei. She paid the people from Amap and Baidu Map to add the coordinates of several small shops near Zhang Chi's home. Not only does the parking lot have coordinates, but even the bathrooms have coordinates. "Wait a minute, let's count how many people want to stay here to play ATV, and then I'll ask the boss if there's any group purchase discounts." Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this. After he realized what was happening, he quickly said, "For a group of 10 people, it's 150 yuan per hour, not including the gas fee." “Are you the boss?” "OK." The tour guide came over immediately and had another discussion with Zhang Chi. In the end, the group purchase price was maintained at 150 yuan per hour, but Zhang Chi also gave the tour guide a red envelope of 500 yuan. Because the tour guide said he could notify his colleagues and bring people here for a walk first. "Mr. Zhang, how about this? I'll add your beach buggy service to our tourist brochure, and you can give our company a commission of 20 yuan for each tourist. What do you think?" Zhang Chi thought for a moment, frowned and said, "I'm sorry, this is a village-run place, and we can't accept too many tourists at the moment." "what?" The tour guide looked confused. Zhang Chi has his own considerations. He really hopes that more and more tourists will come to spend money. But he didn't want the reputation of Xiasha Village to be ruined by unwilling tourists because of the tour guide's random bringing of tourists. There are a few such cases every year during the peak tourist season.
Zhang Chi really didn't want to step on a landmine just to make a few more dollars. The tour guide seemed to see through his thoughts and nodded awkwardly without forcing him. Those who are familiar with their industry know that travel companies are a double-edged sword for local areas. A well-run travel company can bring a large number of tourists to the local area, boost the local economy and promote the development of tourism. However, if you encounter a black-hearted travel company, not only will it fail to help the local economic development, it may even bring bad luck to the local area. Dalian's tourism industry was once booming, but because of the outrageous practices of a few unscrupulous tour guides, it eventually became one of the worst tourist cities. Fortunately, the tour guide was a very nice person. After helping to promote it, half of the people actually stayed. Of course, most people were actually attracted by Long Jianchuan's craftsmanship. The cheap seafood, genuine wild mushrooms, and the shouts of Long Jianchuan's wife immediately attracted several diners. Another seven or eight young people went to the car rental agency to rent a car. The entire village was suddenly bustling with people, and some villagers who saw the tourists coming started to put out their mountain products. The bus that was originally going to Dalongshan suddenly stopped again. The tour guide walked down with a helpless look on his face, followed by a group of uncles and aunts who wanted to buy mountain products. This group didn't even go to their destination. I'm just sitting there doing nothing. The tour guide walked up to Zhang Chi and planned to talk to him about business matters. Only then did Zhang Chi know that the tour guide was called Lin Fei, a post-00s, and had been working as a tour guide for 2 years. Chatting and chatting. Lin Fei's attention was suddenly attracted by the Ford Mustang in front of the store. "Mr. Zhang, did you modify this car yourself?" Zhang Chi nodded, indicating that he could look around as long as he didn't mention business matters. Lin Fei smiled awkwardly, leaned over to touch and look at here and there, and asked curiously: "Boss Zhang, this car must be expensive to modify, right?" Zhang Chi replied casually: "It's OK. A used car isn't that expensive. If someone wants it, I'll pay 30 yuan for it." “Can I pay in installments?” "Um?" Zhang Chi looked at Lin Fei with shining eyes and asked curiously: "Why, are you interested?" Lin Fei rubbed his head a little awkwardly and said with a smile: "I am interested, but I don't have much money, only more than 100,000 in savings."
"Pfft~" Zhang Chi spit out the happy water that he had drunk. Damn it, you’re a post-00s guy, and you’ve only been working for more than two years and already have over a hundred thousand in savings? Do tour guides still make so much money nowadays? "Mr. Zhang, I really want to buy it. Just tell me whether you can pay in installments." Zhang Chi glanced at Lin Fei speechlessly, then nodded and said, "I have cooperation with the Agricultural Business Company, so I can pay in installments, and the interest rate is quite low." It wasn't that Zhang Chi took the initiative to seek cooperation with the rural commercial bank, but the bank's salesperson came to him. Banks are under great pressure to perform well nowadays. The salesperson came all the way over and said that he could help his customers with installment purchases for free, and he agreed without even thinking about it. Hearing this, Lin Fei said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, can I test drive it first?" Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he simply went into the store and handed him the car keys. "Take it easy. By the way, let me see your driver's license first." Don’t drive without a license, that would be really bad. After looking at Lin Fei's electronic driver's license, Zhang Chi handed him the car keys. "Just drive around the county road for a while. It's up to you whether you want to buy anything or not. Since you introduced me to a client, I'll pay for the gas." Lin Fei was overjoyed when he heard this and got into the car happily. He was not in a hurry to start the car, but took out his mobile phone to take pictures. It was obvious that he loved this Ford Mustang very much. Seeing this, Zhang Chi smiled knowingly. He suddenly understood Lin Fei's mentality. When he had just worked for a few years, he also dreamed of owning a car of his own. He just wanted a small Fit at the time, and his requirements were really not high. But after living frugally, I can only save less than two or three thousand yuan from my monthly income. After a year, he only had enough money for the down payment on a Fit, and when he thought about the car loan repayments every month, he backed down. If he were to replace himself at that time with Lin Fei now, he estimated that his performance would be even worse than Lin Fei's. (End of this chapter)
