Chapter 1494

"Sir, we want to go here. Do you know each other?" The young translator handed a note to the taxi driver.

The drivers at the gate of the foreign-related hotel were all trained. Lao Ge, who ranked first, looked at the note, looked at the foreigners behind the little translator, nodded his offer and said, "it's a long distance. It's worth hundreds of yuan. Besides, there's no place to play there."

"Foreigners just want to see the ordinary capital. They haven't been to China. Everything is new. They don't want to see the things in the scenic spots. They just want to see the life of ordinary Chinese people." The little translator is laughing.

l Lao Ge scolded in his heart that he was "too busy" and said with a smile on his face, "if you want to go, you can go back and forth for 500 yuan."

"Can you type your watch?" Little translator wants to fight for it.

Lao Ge scolded "the traitor" in his heart, then shook his head firmly and said: "you tell the foreigner that the watch is broken. If you want to go, you can give cash. If you want to give foreign exchange 20 yuan less, you can't go any less."

These days, taxi drivers are the most Chinese who don't worship foreign things. They kill more people. If they have opened their intestines, there is no fear.

In today's big cities with taxis, the total number of taxis is also very limited. Although the meter installed on the bus is popular with customers, it is not popular with drivers.

Some advanced experience is still circulating among drivers.

For example, in Shanghai, last year, a driver took a foreigner for 10 kilometers and charged $100. At that time, he was attracted by the drivers and followed suit.

100 In 1988, the U.S. dollar had to be used more. No matter whether it was a family of three, four or five, they could not eat 100 yuan in a month! Ordinary family Shanghai people, take 100 dollars out, marry a daughter-in-law, hold a wedding, by the way, have a baby, take it to kindergarten, take it to primary school, save a little, still have 10 yuan and 8 yuan left.

It can be said that taxi drivers in big cities were the best among the three most popular jobs in the 1980s. It's one of the most popular jobs.

Of course, the story of $100 per 10km is so exaggerated that after it was reported, it caused a big reform of Shanghai @ Hai taxi market.

Volkswagen Taxi Company was born with the application of 500 red Santana, known as red whirlwind.

With the reform in the south, the capital has not responded to the changes. The meter is still used whenever it wants, and there are a lot of people who refuse to take a detour. From this point of view, no matter how high-end the taxi industry is, it is impossible to take the initiative to improve service awareness. In those days, let alone Santana, the rarity of Tianjin Dafa is also higher than that of the later BMW 5 series. The drivers are still smiling on the surface and knife in hand.

However, in the 1980s, those who could afford to take a taxi, or who could afford to be slaughtered, were either foreigners or senior executives working in foreign enterprises. Ordinary officials would feel liver shaking when they took a taxi. They would rather call their units and ask Xiao Wang and Xiao Li to drive 80 kilometers to pick them up.

Foreigners who come to China do not want to be slaughtered, but they have no choice but to bargain and be slaughtered at the same time.

Taxi drivers have slaughtered their customers a lot, and they have gained experience. According to the nationality and dress of the customers, they naturally draw the bottom line. Even if there is a small translator involved, the price is only 420 yuan, and they have to pay US dollars.

Of course, foreign exchange is good, but its value is also different. Chinese people who don't often deal with foreigners don't understand this. However, taxi drivers who often exchange foreign exchange secretly know that the US dollar is the strongest and best seller, and the Hong Kong dollar is not bad, but it is not popular with foreigners, and it is not good to double toss. Besides, the British pound and Japanese yen are also good, but they are still a little worse

If you know anything about economics, taxi drivers might say the word "liquidity.", However, even if you don't understand economics, you can make the right decision through the simple concept: give the dollar a discount, and give the ruble more money.

The little translator's guest gave us dollars, and when we got on the bus, we managed to get the smiling service from the driver.

"Why don't I take you to the Great Wall? It's strange where you go. There's nothing." While driving, Lao Ge asked the interpreter to deliver the message. This is their long-distance running route, and there are a lot of tricks in the middle.

The translator turned his head and muttered to the foreigner, saying, "Mr. James doesn't like the cultural landscape, he just wants to see the pure scenes of human life."

"On the way to the Great Wall, there are many remote places, don't you stop by to see them together?" Old Ge said with a smile: "you are a strange guest."

"Mr. James is more self respecting." The translator continued to argue for the master.

Lao Ge advised again. He found that he could not increase his income effectively, so he chose to give up and drive silently. When he got to the place, he reminded him.Always paying attention to Mr. James outside the window, he smiles, takes out a camera, PATA PATA.

Lao Ge looked in the rearview mirror, but his heart was full of waves.

He is not someone who has never seen the world, but ordinary foreigners don't waste so much film.

I don't know if it costs money. What can I catch outside the window when I drive so fast? It's good not to be shot.

Moreover, the scenery on the road is nothing special. It's just factories with big chimneys, large areas of farmland and lots of houses, not to mention the cultural landscape, and the natural landscape is boring.

"Pa Pa Pa"

The sound of photographing in the back seat became obviously intense.

Old Gordon woke up and couldn't help looking at both sides.

A unit with a small sign flashed by the side of the road. Large chimneys and small windows, like the factories of many units, lie across the roadside, making people unable to see the situation inside.

If you are an ordinary person, maybe it's strange, but Lao Ge is different.

Lao Ge was educated in anti espionage. Taxi drivers all over the city have received the training, not once. A few years ago, they had to be trained almost every year.

In the words of counselors, all taxi drivers in the city are anti spy commanders standing on the front line.

Lao Ge couldn't help stepping on the accelerator.

After seven or eight years of driving, the car suddenly bumps.

"Slow down, slow down." The foreigner cried out in English.

"Sorry, sorry..." Lao GE learned to say twice, slowed down the speed a little, and drove quickly through the section of the big chimney and small window.

The foreigner was not happy to say something, so he put away the camera. When he came back, he took out the camera again and took photos. The place where he took the photos did not change at all.

Lao Ge is a conscientious man. He noticed that, but he slowed down the speed of the car to make the photo more comfortable for foreigners.

"Mr. James had a good time and decided to give you an extra $5 tip," the translator said

"Thank you very much." Lao Ge then reached out his hand and said, "give me the fare."

The translator frowned and said, "shouldn't you get out of the car and give it to me?"

"The place where you get off is full of people. It's not cost-effective for me to let the workers know that I've carried a large order and asked me to treat them."

This reason is very reluctantly, but at Lao GE's repeated request, the foreigner still paid all the fare plus tips.

Lao Ge stuffed it into his pants pocket. As soon as he hit the steering wheel, he went straight to the nearest police station and drove in.

"I got you a spy." When Lao Ge saw the uniformed policeman in the yard, he braked and stopped.

The policeman gave Lao Ge a strange look, but he didn't think that he was facing the enemy or visiting a lunatic. It was more like

"The third time this week? It's very lively. " The police said something incomprehensible and bent down to invite James out of the back seat.
