He said with a smile: "People who come from the Provincial Public Security Department can't be wrong. Don't think Xiaohu is just a trainee policeman, but he is very smart. This time, Mrs. Guo's jade bracelet was stolen by Sun Tiantian in Lijiang. It was also Xiaohu's first time.

A discovery. I have read the investigation report sent by the Lijiang police. If the time had been half a day later, I am afraid this case would have been closed."

Li Weifang's face was full of pride. It was he who suggested asking the Provincial Public Security Department to send someone to follow him throughout the process. What happened later proved that he was indeed foresighted.

When Sun Tiantian was mentioned, the smile on Zhu Yubin's face disappeared instantly. He put his hands behind his back and let out an extremely dissatisfied snort from his nostrils: "Those people in the Cultural and Tourism Bureau fail more than they succeed. I made a special decision two months ago to

Their director had said hello and told him to pay attention to this reception and send a reliable and serious tour guide. But look at all the people sent... If he hadn't been caught on the spot this time, let alone investing.

Well, I guess Mr. Guo (Guo Lingyu) has no interest in staying in Lijiang at all. He went straight to the airport after returning from the Daxue Mountain scenic spot and went home."

Li Weifang is deeply touched by this: "The tourism market in our province has always been in chaos. Youth Hostels, China Travel Service, Kanglu... these travel agencies are the big ones. There are only a few registered travel agencies on the surface, but they can be spun off privately.

Hundreds or even thousands. Let’s take Kanglu. There are hundreds of departments down there, and each department only has a desk, and some don’t even have a desk. As long as you are willing to spend money to contract, you will be their department manager.”

"On the surface, all the departments under it use the official travel contract from Kanglu Headquarters. But when the contract text is in the hands of the contractor, there will be an extra so-called "attached page." Some time ago, I saw a travel advertisement online, saying

It’s a four-night, five-day trip on the Dali-Lijiang line, with a round-trip flight and a three-star hotel, and the whole package only costs RMB 688.”

Zhu Yubin was very familiar with this, smiled and nodded slightly: "It's not surprising, profit depends on entering the store, drinking tea, buying jade and shopping. It's an old routine."

Li Weifang said: "Even if the three-star hotel is discounted, the lowest price is ninety yuan a night. But what about the air tickets? Six hundred and eighty-eight yuan is not even enough for one way, and there is a full round-trip high-speed transfer, including tickets for attractions. I will

I don’t understand, don’t those people who are willing to sign contracts with travel agencies and then keep shouting “they were deceived, not for fun at all, but for a shopping trip” have no brains? Don’t they think about the possibility of such cheap travel in the world?

Is it a good thing?"

"This is Zhou Yu's attempt to beat the odds. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." Zhu Yubin said: "The tourism market is like this. If you are not willing to spend money, there is no so-called service at all. Especially for cheap tours, buying jade

, buy medicine, buy tea, and various handicrafts... No wonder there are people like Sun Tiantian under Lao Zhang, they rely on this to make a living. As long as tourists enter the store, there is a "head fee" of ten yuan. Later,

It has increased to fifteen. The commission on purchases is 30%, and the commission on jade and jewelry is even higher. Of course, the items are not entirely fake, and the quality varies."

"Let's talk about jade! In 2006, a friend of mine came from eastern Zhejiang and bought a bracelet on the Lijiang line with a group. The price was 46,000, but it was finally reduced to 20,000. Later I invited him

During the meal, a friend who was experienced in jade was present. After seeing it, he said that the bracelet was worth at most 5,000 yuan. He was very angry at the time. But last year, he called me and said that someone was willing to pay 60,000 yuan for the bracelet.

"

Li Weifang smiled: "This is not surprising. The price of jade has been rising in recent years. The jade articles of ordinary quality in the past few years have now increased."

Zhu Yubin's face condensed slightly: "I called Mr. Zhang of the Cultural Tourism Bureau yesterday, and this guy was talking about things, but he didn't mention Sun Tiantian's problem."

Li Weifang cursed: "I'm thick-skinned."

Zhu Yubin sneered and said: "Actually, my original intention was not to accuse him. I just want him to give in and apologize verbally. But there is something wrong with his attitude. In this case, don't blame me for being unkind."

Li Weifang stopped, turned around, and asked doubtfully: "Lao Zhu, what do you mean..."

He and Zhu Yubin are old friends, and they usually call each other by their first names rather than by their respective positions.

"Starting from this year, we will no longer allocate any form of sponsorship fees to the Bureau of Culture and Tourism." Zhu Yubin spoke softly, but in a very harsh tone.

The so-called "sponsorship fee" is actually another name for advertising fee. There is an unwritten verbal agreement between the Department of Commerce and the Bureau of Culture and Tourism: when a tour guide leads a group, he must promote tea, ham and other specialties of Yunnan Province (

It is just a verbal promotion without explaining the specific place of purchase). The Department of Commerce allocates a part of the funds every year to the Bureau of Culture and Tourism in the form of sponsorship.

This verbal agreement has been around for a long time, and relevant departments such as the Department of Culture are also involved. Its purpose is to expand the visibility of Yunnan Province and spread culture and economic influence from all aspects. Because the circumstances of each unit are different, the amount of this "sponsorship fee" has also changed.

.Dian Province has developed rapidly in recent years. The Department of Culture and other departments have stopped cooperating with the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, and instead the province will allocate unified funds from annual funds.

But the initiative is still with the Department of Commerce. If this department doesn’t give it, the province will have no money.

The Department of Commerce is not short of money. The past "practices" continue like this to this day.

Zhu Yubin is a very talkative person, but this time he was angered.

"Old Li, you contact the Public Security Bureau tomorrow and then talk to Hu Pingtao. If he is willing and the Public Security Bureau is willing to release him, then transfer him over and directly join your Comprehensive Investigation Department."

"...Transfer here?" Li Weifang was stunned.

The Department of Commerce is no different than other units. Many people rack their brains and want to get in. But except for the annual open recruitment, the establishment quota is really a carrot and a pit, and there is no excess.

"I have read the report you wrote. Didn't you say that Hu Pingtao can speak French?" Zhu Yubin turned around and asked seriously.

Li Weifang nodded: "Xiaohu's French is very good. Mr. Guo has a personal bodyguard who is French. Xiaohu accompanied him throughout the whole process. Daily communication was very smooth. Even Mr. Guo thinks Xiaohu's French is very professional."

"He is also proficient in English. Mrs. Guo lived in Los Angeles when she was young, and the Guo family also has property in Ghana. Mrs. Guo is used to speaking in English most of the time. Although Sun Tiantian is a gold medal tour guide recommended by the Cultural Tourism Bureau

, but compared with Xiaohu, it is far behind. I say this from a fair standpoint: Sun Tiantian’s English is also good, and there is no problem in daily conversation, but she is confused when she encounters some proper nouns. Xiaohu is different, Mr. Guo said on the road.

My wife asked about our old events in Yunnan Province, such as the origin of Zhenzhuang Hotel and the story about the governor of Yunnan Province on Yuantong Mountain, and he told us everything clearly."

Zhu Yubin smiled: "Proficient in two foreign languages ​​and keen observation, these are real talents. Lao Li, think about it, the Guo Group has increased its investment amount four times in one breath, which is enough to make the superiors look at us with admiration. Don't

Let’s talk about this year, even next year and the year after that, as long as we firmly hold on to the Guo Group and ask for policy benefits from the province, the Guo Group will definitely continue to increase capital. Within five years, all relevant industries in Yunnan Province will benefit.

, by then the economic index will probably be doubled, not to mention reaching a higher level."

"The beginnings of many major events are very small, or even inconspicuous. As the saying goes: A butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado of great changes. Without the butterfly Hu Pingtao, there would be no Guo Lingyu in front of the public tonight.

The promised increase in investment amount. Based on this, Hu Pingtao was transferred and he was directly asked to start from the middle level. At the end of the year, he will go to the grassroots for research, and next year he will be promoted to deputy section chief to join the management of the department... For outstanding talents, this kind of courage

I still have it."

"Besides, this time we are accompanied by important people from the Provincial Public Security Department. Hu Pingtao's current identity is a trainee police officer, which means that he has passed the civil service examination. Since the Public Security Department sent him here, he must have gone through a lot of

First of all, there is no problem with comprehensive ability; needless to say, on-the-spot response, Sun Tiantian's case is the best proof; and there is also the political review, if there are problems, he will not be able to become a police officer."

"Finally... haha, I also saw it tonight. The young man is quite handsome. We are in the foreign trade industry. Although appearance is not a necessary condition, appearance will often become an additional factor in negotiations."

"Without Hu Pingtao, even if Guo Lingyu was willing to invest, the amount would not be so large."

"Besides, you have to take a longer view. Hu Pingtao has already established a relationship with the Guo family. From now on...hehe..."

Zhu Yubin took out the cigarette case from his pocket. He only smoked when he was in a good mood or when he was in a bad mood: "Old Li, you will be responsible for this matter. Talents are rare. We must attract Hu Pingtao to become the head of our Department of Commerce.

people."

Li Weifang admitted that what his immediate boss said made sense, but he was really not sure about the matter, so he smiled bitterly and said: "You think too highly of me. This task should be handed over to the human resources department."

"According to the procedure, it should be like this, but this time the situation is different." Zhu Yubin said seriously: "You and Hu Pingtao are already familiar with each other, so it is easier to communicate. It will be different with strangers. And the guys in the personnel department, you

You know, our unit has a limited establishment, and all the seven aunts and eight aunts want to come in through roundabout ways. It’s difficult for me as the director of the department. I want talents, but I don’t dare to offend those people. After much thought, I can only let

You take action."

Li Weifang complained: "You are asking me to do contract work and get the salary of a temporary worker."

Zhu Yubin knew he was joking: "It's hard for me to talk to the Provincial Public Security Department. Let's just allocate the sponsorship fee to the Culture and Tourism Bureau to them as an additional condition for Hu Pingtao's transfer. In addition, allocate some more

Once the money is spent, you can decide the specific amount. The Guo Group’s investment amount this time is very large. If we eat meat, we must give some soup to our cooperating brother units."

…

The next day, at half past ten in the morning.
Chapter completed!
