Passengers yelled exaggeratedly as the roller coaster, Japan's oldest, slid down the track with a noisy rumble.Seeing everyone happily playing, Tuoshi couldn't help feeling angry. Hmph, all idiots.Just by looking at you, you must have never suffered. It was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon, and Tuoshi was sitting on a bench eating ice cream.The rain was about to stop, and the surroundings were gloomy, with a yellow balloon floating in the gray sky. Tuoshi only looked up at the sky, but didn't notice the melted ice cream sliding down the crispy cup and onto his palm, he hurriedly took the ice cream away, but it was a step too late, and the ice cream dripped onto him The loose edge of the navy blue tie.

Ah, damn it!really He tried to untie the tie with his free hand, but he couldn't get it off. After all, he was not used to wearing a tie, and he couldn't even untie it.He had no choice but to finish the ice cream first, free his hands before taking off his tie, but because there was nowhere to wipe his hands, the whole tie was sticky.As soon as he took off his tie, he tossed it in the bin next to the bench, not bothering to get up. Much more refreshing. He took out a Seven Star cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it with a cheap Zippo lighter, pursed his lips and exhaled the smoke, the finger of his right hand holding the cigarette still had the feeling of beating Zhongxi.

Two hours ago, Nakanishi was Takumi's boss. In fact, this man was about the same age as Takumi, but the neatly combed hair and the finely crafted double-breasted suit helped him successfully create the image that a boss should have. Some were steady, but Takumi knew that the suit was borrowed. Nakanishi's subordinates, together with Takumi, are three people. Today, the location of work is next to Kanda Station, and the target of the attack is a freshman who just came to Tokyo from the countryside to study in university. How to tell if the other party is from the countryside?Tuoshi asked Zhongxi.

You can see it right?Just dress up in a rustic way. Are they slow to fashion? no.It's already May, and young people should be able to smell what's popular in Tokyo.But the country people just don't know how to wear clothes, simply put, they don't have the right temperament. You yourself aren't wearing a suit that doesn't match at all.Takumi stuck out his tongue secretly. The other two colleagues had already acted alone, and Takumi temporarily followed Nakanishi as an intern. Today was his second day at work, and they went to Ikebukuro the day before, but they didn't sell a set of products.

The product was in Tuoshi's pocket, and he had been thinking since yesterday, would anyone really be stupid enough to buy this kind of thing? Go try that guy out.Nakanishi raised his chin and pointed to the sidewalk. The young man walking towards him was wearing a polo shirt and jeans, and was walking alone on the road at a leisurely pace. Excuse me, can I help you fill out a questionnaire?It won't take too much of your time.Nakanishi suddenly put on an unprecedented gentle voice. The young man walked straight towards the station without even looking at Zhongxi.Nakanishi clicked his tongue so loudly that even Takumi could hear it clearly.

Afterwards, Nakanishi took the initiative to attack several times, while telling Tuoshi not to stand aside, so Tuoshi also tried to ask the passers-by one by one, but no one stopped. Nakanishi finally stopped someone. It was a young man in a polo shirt with a thin neck and a childlike expression from high school. Zhongxi asked the young man if he could help fill out the questionnaire, but the young man did not refuse. First of all, I would like to ask about your occupation.Well, you are still a student, right?Nakanishi immediately started his barrage of questions.The young man replied: yes.

where are you goingWho is your favorite artist?Nakanishi then asked some innocuous questions like this, but interspersed with the following questions: How much cash do you have on you right now? A, less than 5,000 yuan. B. More than 5,000 yen and less than 10,000 yen. C. More than 10,000 yen and less than 20,000 yen. D, more than 20,000 yuan. c.the young man replied. If the young people answer A in this question, the questionnaire will be over soon.Nakanishi opened the second questionnaire without changing his expression. Do you like to travel?Where did you travel the farthest?Where do you want to travel in the future?These are the questions that follow.However, it seems that all the college students don’t hate traveling, and the young people answered them one by one with a pleasant face, and Zhongxi also responded with a few words of praise at the right time, to please the young people.

Would you travel more often if you were offered a half-price discount on homestays, hotels, and restaurants? This is the last question. I can.The boy in the polo shirt replied. Understood, thank you very much!Now, for those who help us answer this questionnaire completely, we have specially provided a set of coupons, which can be used in all major homestays and hotels across the country, so please fill in your name and contact information in the last column okay? Oh, the good young man took the pen that Nakanishi handed him, and filled in his name and address as Nakanishi said. At this time, Nakanishi took out a machine slightly larger than a computer, and quickly entered the numerical data that the youth had filled in on the questionnaire.Almost at the same time that the young man stopped writing, Zhongxi also completed the input.

OK, thank you very much for your cooperation.Good job, here's your coupon package.Nakanishi took out a yellow ticket from his jacket pocket, and Liang flipped through it in front of the young man's eyes. Please see here, well-known accommodation places from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south are all within the discount range, as long as you show it Use this coupon to enjoy the discount.You see, this 10,000-yen-a-night room only costs 5,000 yen; and this, you can also use coupons at this all-you-can-eat restaurant.As long as you have this booklet in hand, you can save a lot of money no matter where you travel!

Zhongxi spoke very quickly, and the young man could only nod his head frequently. Also, you said you often go out with your friends, right?Why don't you bring an extra copy!Nakanishi took out another coupon book from his pocket. Oh, thank you.The young man said, and took two sets of coupons. Okay, the total of the two sets is 9,000 yen.It's okay for you to give big bills, I can find them here. Takumi couldn't help looking at the young man's profile.The young man showed a look of distress for a moment. Obviously, he didn't realize that he had to pay for it until he heard Zhongxi mentioning change. It was also the second half of the conversation with Zhongxi. In fact, the two were talking about buying coupons.

Nakanishi quickly took out the 1,000-yen bill for change from his wallet, and looked at the young man. The young man wandered his eyes, took out his wallet from his jeans pocket, and pulled out a 10,000-yen bill from it. Thank you very much, here is your change.Zhongxi took away the 10,000-yen bill, put the 1,000-yen bill into the young man's hand, turned around and left, and Tuo Shi immediately followed. That's it, simple.Nakanishi said triumphantly. He is still looking at us.Takumi looked back. It's tough, let's turn into the alley ahead. After turning around the large bookstore on the corner of the street, the two walked into the alley. still there? Tuoshi poked his head out and looked around, but he didn't see the young man in the polo shirt.gone. very good.Nakanishi picked up a short HOPE cigarette in his mouth, lit it up, and let's go back after smoking this one. I can't do this kind of thing. Takumi made a sullen face. This is your job.The key lies in the momentum, it depends on the timing.You just saw the whole process, you must not be able to figure out how the other party would take the bait, right? Um. The most important thing is to let the customer feel that he is at fault.You must not know why this set of coupons is priced at 4,500 yen, right? Well, I don't know.If you order a set of 5,000 yuan, wouldn't you need to change for two sets of 10,000 yuan? The secret is that there is such a thing as change.Customers always think that coupons can be obtained for free by filling out the questionnaire. If we suddenly say that two sets will cost 10,000 yuan, some customers will be shocked and ask questions on the spot. Then we have to explain why we take these coupons There is a fee. In this way, the steps we have worked so hard to lay out earlier will be disrupted, and customers will also find that filling in the questionnaire is just an introduction, so of course they are not willing to pay for it. I understand this, but what I don't understand is, why is change better than no change? It's okay for you to give big bills, I can find them here.Telling the customer this passage in one breath is tantamount to implying the customer lightly. We were talking about buying and selling coupons before. In this way, the customer will feel that the whole thing is a misunderstanding and naively think it is It's given away for free, and here's the key!The country people don't want people to find out that they don't understand the situation, so they will obediently spend money to eliminate the disaster.The reason is as simple as that.Nakanishi threw the short HOPE cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on the cigarette butt and said: Let's go! Takushi looked at Nakanishi's narrow shoulders, and thought to himself, it is indeed a pretty perfect deception technique, and it should only be able to be done by nakanishi, who is so vile to the core. The two returned to the previous stronghold, and Nakanishi ordered Takushi to find business on his own.Tuoshi frequently solicited passers-by, and a few people stopped to fill out the questionnaire, but none of the coupons were sold; as soon as it was mentioned that the coupons had to be bought, the fish that was about to be hooked slipped away in an instant. You are so useless!Don't let customers have time to think!Beside a telephone booth, Nakanishi cursed Takumi. However, this seems to be defrauding customers, and I can't do it. darn thing!What are you talking about?If you think that way, can our business still succeed! At this time, out of the corner of Tuoshi's eyes, he caught sight of a young man. It was the polo shirt student who was walking towards Tuoshi and them. It seemed that the young man had been looking for them.Nakanishi also saw it, and immediately frowned. I'm sorry, I bought this young man from you just now and handed out two coupons. Nakanishi turned his face away, his eyes were extremely cold, which was very different from the enthusiasm when he asked the young man to fill out the questionnaire just now. I need money urgently today, can this be refunded? After Nakanishi smacked his lips loudly, he looked back at the young man reluctantly and said: What are you talking about?You say you want to quit now, isn't that embarrassing me?You signed the contract just now, your name and everything are signed on the document, isn’t it? I thought it was part of the questionnaire. If you sign it, you sign it, but we are all registered here, and it cannot be deleted.Nakanishi shook the machine in front of the young man. The young man lowered his head and said: Please help me, that is the car money I saved to go back to my hometown tomorrow, if you don’t refund it to me, I won’t be able to go home. That's none of my business.Zhongxi turned around and was about to leave. Ah, wait a minute!Please help!please!The young man clutched the sleeves of Zhongxi's suit and hurriedly bowed his head to beg Zhongxi. Let go!Stop being long-winded! Mr. Nakanishi, Takumi couldn't help but said: It's okay, just give it back to him. Nakanishi's eyes widened, you bastard!You don't have a place to speak! It's just 9,000 yuan, which is not a big number. Which side are you on, boy?If you want to say this kind of thing, wait until you earn one or two thousand yuan, then shut up if you don't have the ability!Nakanishi yelled at him, spraying saliva on Takumi's face, and then challenged Takushi's bottom line of patience. I quit.I can't do such dirty things.Tuoshi threw the bag containing coupons and questionnaires to his feet. Don't pull it down!My ugly words are up front, but I won't pay you today's daily salary! My salary doesn't matter, but can you please refund him the money? Nakanishi immediately reached out and grabbed Takumi's neckline, and opened the dyeing room after giving you three points of color?Why do you speak to me in that tone?ah! ? As he spoke, Nakanishi kicked Takumi's calf with the toe of his shoe, and Takumi squatted down on the spot in pain, followed by a slap, and a mouthful of saliva fell in front of him. Zhongxi's voice came from the idiot's head. He straightened up, and saw Zhongxi's face, what do you think?provocative look. He took a breath first, then concentrated all his strength on his right arm, and while straightening his elbow, his fist had already sunk deeply between Nakanishi's nose and cheek, and the whole process was like a slow-motion picture. Nakanishi flew towards the phone booth, and Takumi could clearly see his badly worn soles. He managed to come back to his senses, and found that the pedestrians stopped one after another, and the student in the polo shirt had long since disappeared, probably running away. I should also take the best policy.Tuoshi ran away.
