Chapter 9 Unilateral Dismantling
The filming location selected by the program team of "Are Somewhere With You" is the second largest city in Y country, Jiuxi City. Jiuxi City is a beautiful coastal city with beautiful scenery. It has developed economic, tourism, culture, etc., with a high population density and many activities.
The guests' first day of food and accommodation are provided by the program team, and are arranged in the most famous five-star hotel in the local area in Jiuxi City. The hotel is built by the sea and has a long private beach with first-class views.
However, those who have watched the previous seasons know that this is almost the only enjoyment of the guests' entire itinerary. From the next day, all the guests' expenses have to be paid by themselves, and the initial fund provided by the program team is very limited. In order to complete the task and win the final victory, the guests have to find ways to make money.
But far away in a foreign country, the aura of stars no longer exists and there is a language barrier, making money is not that easy.
However, it is precisely because of this that this link has always been loved by the audience. Seeing these glamorous stars who are usually thrilling to make a living like ordinary people, it seems that the distance between themselves and the stars has been brought closer.
This is also the most likely part for celebrity guests to get a good impression. As long as they are more down-to-earth, their reputation will not be too bad. In the previous few seasons, some celebrities have seen their popularity soar because of their friendly and diligent performance in this part.
The program team arrived at the hotel. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest and adjust the jet lag. In the evening, six guests went to the buffet restaurant to have dinner together and then gathered together to discuss how to choose the next job.
Considering that the guests are not familiar with the places abroad, the program team arranged several simple jobs in advance. The guests can choose to find ways to make money by themselves, or directly choose the jobs provided by the program team.
However, over the past few seasons, most guests will choose the jobs provided by the program team. The reason is very simple. Celebrities usually focus on their acting work, and they rarely have other promising living skills. Even if there are, it is basically unlikely to find a job abroad on their own in a short period of time, let alone the language barriers are placed in front of them.
Some guests have tried to be street artists before, but their income is unstable. If you are not lucky, you may not earn a night's accommodation fee in one day. Relatively speaking, although the work provided by the program team is hard, at least the income is basically guaranteed.
This time, the program team provided three different tasks in the local scenic spot. The first is to explain Chinese in the scenic spot, which is dedicated to receiving Chinese tourists, the second is to sell tourism souvenirs in the scenic spot, and the third is to work as a waiter in the scenic spot restaurant.
The salary calculation methods of these three jobs are different. The salary in Chinese is the highest, with a daily salary of 100 US dollars, but it is fixed. The souvenir sales and waiters' salary are only half of the explanation. However, sales can get commissions, while waiters can get tips from customers.
At the same time, the work chosen by each group of guests cannot overlap, which requires the guests to analyze and judge the work and compete to take up the job.
After listening to the program team's introduction, several guests started a heated discussion. There was no doubt that everyone wanted to be Chinese explanation. Compared with the other two jobs, Chinese explanations have no language barriers, high income and low risk, so it is obviously easier.
Meng Xixi was the most lively. She immediately folded her hands together and blinked at the others: "Seniors, as the saying goes, follow the local customs, and the country of Y is the most particular woman. Please let us choose first!"
"That won't happen." Jiang Wei immediately retorted with a reasonable and reasonable basis, "We are Chinese. Chinese people pay attention to respecting the elderly and loving the young. The older ones should choose first!"
Chen Xiaoxuan was dissatisfied: "What do you say about Ai You?"
Zhu Chuanjia complained: "The problem is that you are not young anymore..."
Chen Xiaoxuan bulged her face: "That senior is not old enough!"
The two groups of people refused to give in to each other and fought fiercely, which was very effective. Looking back, they could not let the camera snatch them away, but Xie Ran didn't say a word from beginning to end, just sat silently and drank coffee, with no intention of joining the discussion.
Fang Huiwang had to take the initiative to cue him, leaned over and smiled, "Xiao Ran, which job do you think do you have the better job?"
He actually wanted to get the opportunity to explain Chinese, but it was difficult to make a decision without authorization in front of the camera, so he had to discuss it with his partner first.
Xie Ran was quite cooperative at work. Hearing Yan put down the coffee in his hand, paused for a moment, as if thinking, and then said: "If it is sorted by income, souvenir sales will be the first, and the Chinese explanation will be similar to the waiter."
Xie Ran rarely spoke, and everyone else read it, but they obviously disagree with his answer. They had just analyzed the souvenir sales job. Although there was a commission, the basic salary was low and the language requirements were relatively high. The risk was too high, so they were not as good as the waiter.
Fang Huiwang didn't agree, but continued to ask: "Why do you think so?"
"It's not thought, it's data." Xie Ran glanced at him, and then reported several data, namely the average daily passenger flow in the scenic area in winter, the number of restaurants and restaurant waiters, the turnover of souvenir shops and the number of salesmen, etc. "... According to the table turnover rate and the tip habits of old West City, the daily tips received by the restaurant waiters in the scenic area in this season are about 45 to 60 US dollars, plus the basic salary is similar to the Chinese explanation.
Similarly, according to the sales and commission ratio of souvenir stores, the daily commission of salesmen is about 50 to 60 US dollars. Under normal circumstances, the income of these three jobs is basically the same."
His tone was neither fast nor slow, and he reported the relevant numbers one by one, each of which was accurate to single digits, which made the other guests confused.
Chen Xiaoxuan was shocked at the time: "Brother Ran, how do you know this?"
Of course, Meng Feixuan just reported it.
Xie Ran: "There is a financial report of the scenic spot."
This scenic spot is a listed company and its financial report is also public. It can be viewed directly online.
The problem is, whoever will think of watching this when recording a variety show! And now everyone has no mobile phones, so it has to be prepared in advance.
Xie Ran is too hard, right??!
For a moment, more than the guests, the entire program team was speechless because the result of Xie Ran's inference just now was completely correct. The three tasks they provided were actually carefully designed and the final income was almost the same, so as to avoid the gap between the guests' funding.
The difference is that they directly obtained data from the scenic spot, while Xie Ran analyzed it himself and relied on the financial reports disclosed online...
Program team: Feeling IQ is being pressed on the ground and rubbed.jpg
Fang Huiwang came back to his senses first and asked again: "Since it is basically the same, why did you just say that souvenir sales revenue are the highest?"
"Because of adding the variable of shooting programs," Xie Ran still looked Shiran. "Customer flow and tips are fixed, but when there is a program shooting, it is easier to reach a transaction for souvenir sales. If you meet customers in China, the transaction volume may increase."
Everyone suddenly realized that, but the other two groups of guests were still suspicious. First, they couldn't believe that Xie Ran would really check the scenic spot financial reports in advance, and second, they were in a competitive relationship now. Who knows whether Xie Ran was deliberately confusing the public?
After all, Jiang Wei was an old man. He immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, does Xiaoran want to choose souvenirs to sell?"
Xie Ran held on the armrest of the sofa with one hand and gently supported her chin: "No."
When the others heard this, they said meaningfully, "It's true." After talking for a long time, they didn't choose, and they really wanted to cheat people.
Fang Huiwang was also speechless: "Which Xiao Ran, which one do you want to choose?"
"None of them choose." Xie Ran said lightly, "I'll use other channels."
As soon as he said this, the others were stunned again. According to the rules, the guests could indeed find ways to make money by themselves, but the guests in the previous seasons had verified how difficult it was, so they had never considered this option from beginning to end.
What good ideas can Xie Ran have? Everyone couldn't help but become curious.
Fang Huiwang was also surprised: "What are you going to do?"
Xie Ran raised his eyes and said concisely: "Stock Market."
Everyone who was looking forward to him: "..."
Is this fun for everyone?
Let’s not talk about how unreliable it is to trade stocks at this time. With their little funding and now they don’t even have a mobile phone, what about stocks that are priced at?
Fang Huiying couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth: "Xiao Ran, say serious, stop making trouble."
"This is serious." Xie Ran said, looking at the time, seeing that it was almost done, he raised his hand and called the hotel waiter and asked him to call the hotel manager over.
The hotel manager soon appeared: "Who is looking for me?"
"I." Xie Ran stood up and began to communicate with him in English.
Only then did everyone realize that Xie Ran's English was fluent and there was no barrier to communicating with the manager.
Others' English is average in the entertainment industry and can only deal with simple daily communication. Xie Ran not only speaks fast, but also has a lot of professional vocabulary, which makes them confused at once and can only go to see the team leader of part-time translator.
The team leader was more surprised by Xie Ran's English level than others, because she could hear that Xie Ran not only expressed fluently, but also had very standard pronunciation and could not hear the pronunciation at all, and her level was much higher than her.
But she quickly came to her senses and whispered to everyone: "Brother Ran is asking the hotel manager to help him buy stocks..."
Their mobile phones were collected and they couldn't buy stocks by themselves, but it was obvious that Xie Ran had already thought of a solution.
Fang Hui looked at him but he didn't expect Xie Ran to be honest. He became anxious on the spot and pulled Xie Ran: "No, Xiao Ran, stock trading is too scammer, I object."
"I didn't count you." Xie Ran interrupted him, stretched out a hand, "give me my money."
Fang Hui looked stunned and was a little unbelievable: "Do you want to act separately from me?"
"Yes." Xie Ran looked at the leader inquiringly, "I remember that I didn't stipulate that the same group must act together, right?"
The team leader choked: "No..."
The problem is that this show focuses on friends traveling together, and under normal circumstances, the same group will not be separated.
What's more, Xie Ran still broke up one by one.
The other two groups of guests who were originally confused by Xie Ran's sudden magical operation instantly woke up and looked at their partners respectively.
That's right, that's the look!
Curious, excited, but hold back.
At this moment, everyone is a crowd of people.
The program team felt suffocated, but also became vaguely excited.
This issue of materials has been created!
Fang Hui looked at his face and turned pale, and he couldn't say a word.
He never expected Xie Ran to plan like this and be so straightforward.
In the headphones, Meng Feixuan asked very learningly: "Sir, looking back at what he is now is a legendary embarrassment, right?"
Xie Ran: "Do you know what he looks like?"
Meng Feixuan: "I invaded the surveillance here."
Xie Ran: "..."
The author has something to say: the location is overturned!
Xiaoran: You only have one earphone now, how do you think he looks?
