Escorts in escort agencies are ancient guards and messengers, feeling a bit like mercenaries in the Middle Ages. It is equivalent to a bodyguard company and a security escort company active in business and politics today. Its basic business is to protect the personal safety and property safety of the acceptor, transport ordinary goods of equivalent value, undertake the transportation of valuable property, and also escort the currency delivery between banks.
Escort agency divides its business into six modules:
Letter dart: exchange important letters. Protect important communications between government officials.
Ticket dart: Silver ticket is a common commodity of ancient banks, and it is a bill for exchanging silver and silver, which is equivalent to the current bank card. The only drawback of the silver ticket is its poor sealing. Even if robbed, you can exchange the equivalent amount of silver in the bank and become the target of robbery. Therefore, merchants and banks that need to exchange silver tickets will hire escort agencies when transporting silver tickets for insurance reasons.
Silver dart: escort silver.
Grain escort: escort grain.
Item dart: escort precious items.
Personal darts: protect the personal safety of employers during the journey.
Escort agent as a kind of commercial agent? Armed private institutions? Its particularity is self-evident, and it can be said that it is a business of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and life and death are especially good.
To start an escort company, you must first meet three necessary conditions:
(1) Officialdom, White Road has a strong backer.
For example, during the Qianlong period, the escort agency under Xiao Shenyang, the biggest corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, transported Jinshan Yinshan, but who had the courage to rob the escort agency? Therefore, the escort agency is a commercial organization that sells safety. What is its core competitiveness? Open * * *? Take the high-tech business direction, nobody will accept it because? Open * * *? Our maintenance is very expensive, and small enterprises are not cost-effective.
(2) Jianghu has a high reputation, a wild road and a big face.
Robbers who break into houses are all Jianghu people. If the escort agency boss has a bright sign and a wild way in the Jianghu, the outlaw should also weigh his own weight before robbing. Therefore, the Escort Agency is still an armed organization. The establishment of an armed organization is a very delicate matter in any dynasty. This kind of armed organization can also travel all over the country, and it is easy to grasp the economic information, customs and people's feelings all over the country. Please note that the first escort agency in China was run by the martial arts teacher of Emperor Qianlong.
Hard work, quick knife and strong business ability.
Because the Escort Agency has special professional skills, its interior is mainly composed of two people, one is a martial arts family, and the other is a military robe who has served in the army and seen the battlefield in blood shed. Because these two people have many similarities, most of them are martial arts and loyalty, which is required by the escort agency industry. Because escort guards walk in Jianghu all the year round, most of them attach great importance to Jianghu morality.
Learn a skill and sell the goods to the emperor's house? . Darts used to pass through a province? The hometown of martial arts? At this time, it is necessary to put down the dart flag and say the slogan of the river's lake code to show respect for one side, so as to win the bet on darts. If you are arrogant and high-profile, all kinds of chivalrous men, heroes, ringing horses, etc. Will use a sword and a gun to stop the dart, and the chief escort will certainly not lose the dart. Otherwise, the money is empty, and we have to follow the rules of the Jianghu.
The escort agency went out to run escort, really? Tie your head to your belt? First of all, let's put aside the fact that we have to sleep all day, and we need to run around day and night, but we also have to deal with local fugitives from time to time, otherwise we will have a great chance of encountering various dangers. Although everyone is engaged in long-term business, no one wants the larger foe, but after all, some areas are in disorder on the way. Although the escort is skilled in martial arts, sometimes? Can't a strong dragon crush a local strongman? It is not impossible to lose your life, so most of the escorts recruited by the escort agency have professional skills, and they can't do it without their own real skills.
Master is a brick. Why did you move there? . Who is not afraid of being blocked by God to kill the guards? The strength of walking in the rivers and lakes is the last word. The escort agency has a escort head and a deputy escort head. According to the size of the escort agency, set up a number of escort heads and escorts.
Is the chief escort from the escort company? Face? The strength of the chief escort agency is related to its development prospect. The chief escort agency is responsible for developing business, selecting and training escort agencies, which is equivalent to brand spokesperson and operation manager. Escort is the leader of the escort team, ranking below the general escort.
The operation process of the escort agency is similar to the current express delivery. Escort agencies must obtain the procedures issued by the government before they can operate escort business? Pass? Because in the process of darting, it is inevitable to go through some barriers. Take out the escort head at this time? Pass? There is still a little loose silver, and the officers and men will be released.
Will the escort agency follow? Commodities? Value and distance, in order to charge the corresponding dart fee. ? Commodities? And then what? Cost? After consultation, the employer will sign a contract with the escort agency? Dart list? .
Dart list? Very important, equivalent to a paper labor contract. The detailed information of the goods, the distance of escort, and the expenses negotiated by both parties are recorded on the dart sheet. Finally, press the handprint, and this single dart will be settled.
Escort leaders and escorts will take care of things at home before departure and prepare for never coming back. Darting's danger is inevitable. What should I do if I find a bundle in the wild while darting? Thorn police? Blocking in the middle of the road means that there are robbers ahead, suggesting that the escort? Keep the money or live? .
But now? Escort agency? This industry has disappeared, but by? Escort agency? Differentiation? Bodyguard company? 、? Escort company? However, it is still active in the market, and the cultural heritage of escort agencies has not disappeared, but has become another form, active in the modern society we are familiar with.
