Chapter 100 Learning to be an Agent (2)(1/2)
....................................................
Zhao Si slowly introduced Yan Wenchuan to a silver dollar purchasing power.
Ten minutes later, the two people who walked and talked came to the vicinity of the Drum Tower. It was not very far from the car, and it was a good place to travel in the nearby crowded crowds.
"Wenchuan, this is the territory of our Dali Richebank. After passing the Gulou, it is the territory of other car shops. We can only solicit customers here and take people no matter where we go. This is the rule."
Zhao Si said seriously.
Yan Wenchuan looked at more than ten cars lined up in front of him, and the backs were marked with eye-catching fonts, and Dali Rigs Store.
Each coachman wore a vest with a marked number, and Zhao Si brought a vest with a number 7, which means he entered the pilgrimage very early and lined up in front.
"Uncle Zhao, tell me all the rules in this industry so that I will not cause you trouble if I am ignorant."
"Okay, I'll tell you slowly."
Zhao Si explained the rules in the industry in detail and asked Yan Wenchuan to remember them carefully.
"Wenchuan, your outfit is wrong."
Zhao Si looked at the clean Yan Wenchuan and said.
"What's wrong with Uncle Zhao?"
Yan Wenchuan even changed into a coarse cloth dress, why is it wrong?
"Hahaha..."
"At first glance, you are a rich child. We should pay attention to stability, accuracy and ruthlessness in our industry."
"What I mean is that when pulling a cart, it is not fast or slow, so don't bump the guests out."
"It is definitely a matter of saying that the guests are going to, and you should find the right place quickly. Don't even ask the guests to run around without knowing the place. This way, the guests will not only not pay, but may also cause trouble for you."
"What I mean is to be more ruthless to yourself, take on life in the distance, run more and move around these four or nine cities."
"On the other hand, the price is harsh. We collect money from one big boy a mile. But when you want it, you need two big boys, because we can't bring customers on the way back, so we have to add the money," Zhao Si said.
"Then, what if they think it's expensive?"
"As for business, you can negotiate well. If you really don't want to increase your money, you must keep the low price. You can't do it randomly or you will break the rules."
"Sometimes, when you meet generous guests, you will also give rewards, but don't charge money randomly to avoid making people feel that our cart pullers are untrue."
"I said you're in a bad outfit. Although your clothes are rough, they look too clean and they still have a fragrance on your body."
"Look at us, the clothes of that person are not wearing some oil or a few patches, and stains that cannot be washed off. Look at your clothes that are clean and not even a patch is like this, how can you win sympathy for others? How can you give money to you?"
"You wear more decent clothes than many people who take the bus. What do you think of the person who takes the bus? Will he feel that he has been mocked invisibly?"
"And your face is too clean, you need a little sweat and dust. It looks like you are a poor cart puller."
"And you are too tall. You are so tall. Stand up so straight will put pressure on the guests. You must bow slightly, speak ingeniously, do things with considerate, and consider the feelings of the guests in everything."
After Zhao Si said that, he untied the large water cup from the handlebars. He made it with a bamboo and looked black as if it had been for many years, drinking water in big mouthfuls.
"We talk a little bit too much. Usually we don't drink too much water before starting work to avoid rushing to urinate and delaying things when attracting customers."
Yan Wenchuan really didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in a coachman. In this regard, he was not a qualified agent.
Yan Wenchuan began to adjust his body slightly, and according to what Zhao Si said, bowing slightly, it didn't look so obvious.
Zhao Si was very happy to see Yan Wenchuan start to change, which shows that this young man is very pragmatic and he likes such people.
The two were chatting, and a man came from a distance to build a car. Yan Wenchuan saw the visiting guests and was anxious to go up and talk to others.
But he was pulled by Zhao Si, and Yan Wenchuan looked at him incomprehensible.
"This is also a rule. If you have a car in front of you, you can't go to the line. This will make your colleagues dislike you and isolate you," said Zhao Si.
Yan Wenchuan didn't expect that he would be so rude when pulling a cart.
"Then, how many jobs will be done on this day?"
"That's how this point is. Those who are time to go to work are staying in the factory. Those decent people work in government departments. The teachers and bosses have not yet come out for activities and are busy after 10 o'clock. Don't worry! As long as you are willing to work hard and get five silver dollars a day, it's not a problem," Zhao Si said.
Yan Wenchuan raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was nine at 20, and it seemed that he was not busy yet.
Zhao Si looked at Yan Wenchuan's watch. Although he didn't know it, he knew it must be very expensive, and his face twitched a little.
Yan Wenchuan saw Zhao Si’s look at him, what happened to him?
"Uncle Zhao, what's wrong with me?"
"Look at your watch, it's a high-end product, and you're not afraid of being broken when pulling a cart. Besides, if you let people who know how to get along with them, how can you get along with me?"
"this..."
Yan Wenchuan didn't expect that this would also affect the cart pulling. This watch was a birthday gift given to him by his parents.
Swiss watch Omega, a pure leather black watch, silver-white mechanical dial and interior, looks low-key and not ostentatious, and is not very expensive for a few thousand dollars.
I want to compare the Longines watches I saw in China, which are shining brightly. He prefers his low-key and not luxurious watch.
Zhao Si saw Yan Wenchuan's dissatisfaction.
"Hey! Don't be convinced. Look, look at us, no one with a watch, even if there is a broken third-hand product, it will be used as a treasure."
"Well, come out to pull the car with such a high-end watch. Who are you laughing at?"
Hahaha......
Several coachmen next to him who kept listening to Zhao Si's disciples burst into laughter.
"I said, "The fourth brother, you picked up a son from that woman. He looks good and doesn't look like someone in our business," a coachman said loudly.
"Don't talk nonsense, brothers, this is Xiaoyan who just came to the car shop to work. You should take care of her more in the future," Zhao Si said angrily.
Yan Wenchuan came out to study, so he naturally had to respect their opinions and quickly untied his watch and put it in his pocket.
Although I paid attention to these details of life before, I did not pay enough attention to them. I didn’t expect that I could easily see through my identity by a few people pulling the cart. It seems that the gap between me is too far.
"There is also Wenchuan, the pants are the same problem. The shoes are too good and not broken enough. You have to tie the legs of the pants like us so that you can't run the car and stop yourself from stepping on the corner of the pants. Even the guests are injured by you, and it will be troublesome at that time."
"Yes, yes, Uncle Zhao, I just came here, tomorrow! I will make myself busy tomorrow and work," Yan Wenchuan quickly promised.
"Well, a good Wenchuan, I can still make a living by knowing my mistakes."
"Now I will teach you how to pull a cart. Look, after coming in, pick up the handlebar with one foot, slowly start running faster, lower the center of gravity, people borrow the power of the car, and cars borrow the power of the car, don't pull it tightly, as this will make you exhausted."
Zhao Si taught him while pulling the cart. When Yan Wenchuan learned well, it was eleven o'clock.
Now that I come to Gulou to play, there are more people doing business, I am tired from walking, and if I have urgent matters, I will start walking here to take the bus.
Two foreigners came from afar, with yellow hair and green eyes, one man and one woman, as if they were here to visit the Drum Tower.
When a few people saw that they were foreigners, they were a big job!
These foreigners are all given pounds and dollars. This kind of job is more profitable than a day.
"Where are you going to? Let's make my car?" asked a coachman in front with a smile on his face.
The two foreigners seemed to have just arrived and couldn't understand Chinese. They only had a few simple words and could not clearly express where they wanted to go.
The coachman looked confused and didn't know what they said, so he could only gesture with his hands. An old coachman took out his hand-drawn map and asked them to point to where they were going.
It’s a pity that the painting is too rough, and there are one alley in Peking. Not to mention foreigners, even if you have lived in Peking for a few years, there are many places that don’t know about it.
Both sides were anxious, wow, don’t know what they were expressing?
Yan Wenchuan naturally had to come forward to help when he saw this situation.
“hello, whereare yougoing”
The two foreigners looked surprised, but unexpectedly a coachman spoke pure American English.
“we’regoie”
The male foreigner spoke.
"They two are going to the consular area of Minxiang, Dongjiao," Yan Wenchuan pointed to the coachman next to him.
ha!
The coachman next to him stared at Yan Wenchuan, but he didn't expect that this kid would say something from a foreigner, which would make a fortune.
You should know that you can order simple English. If you meet foreigners when pulling a cart, you will let them go too much. If you have good service, you will not be rewarded.
"Old Zhao, I think you asked your apprentice to follow you. They happened to be the two of them. This time you just need to make money from the car and come back to treat us to a big meal."
An old coachman wearing a number four vest said.
Zhao Si didn't expect that he would help someone casually and was still an educated college student. While this made him excited, he felt that people should be educated and that pulling a cart is much more profitable than us.
"Okay, Wenchuan, follow you next to him and translate the scenery along the way for him so that they won't be too boring on their way back," said Zhao Si.
"good!"

The two foreigners heard that Yan Wenchuan asked them to get on the bus, but they did not delay getting on the two cars. The two foreigners were very excited and asked Yan Wenchuan questions while walking.
Yan Wenchuan didn't know much about Peking, so he asked Zhao Si while telling him to the two foreigners.
