Now that he had made up his mind to let Boss Li shed some more blood, he invited him to the Fanling Racecourse Manor that had just changed hands that afternoon to play golf, race horse racing, and talk about some things together.
Boss Li didn't know the truth, but he had been doing frequent transactions with Gu Kun recently, so he went.
Fanling Racecourse Manor is a combination of a racecourse and a mini golf course. It is about 300 meters long and 100 meters wide. It is nearly the size of three standard stadiums. In addition to the racecourse/golf course, there are several exquisite villas. Gu Kun
I just paid 60 million US dollars for this place, and the external market valuation is about 200 million US dollars.
There is a horse racing track on the outside. Make a slight detour to ensure that the circumference reaches 1,600 meters (if such a venue is only built with a horse racing track in the outermost circle, the circumference can only reach more than 900 meters. Therefore, it needs to make several twists and turns in the middle to increase the length to reach a standard horse racing track.
1600 meters per lap of the field)
There is no need to waste the land vacated between the racetracks. Just add lawns and shrubs in the middle, and even some small ponds can be dotted in between. Make five holes to form a mini golf.
This layout is similar to a football field in the area surrounding the track of a standard stadium. The difference is that a horse track is used instead of the track, and a golf lawn is used instead of the football field.
This is what wealthy people do in high-end sports clubs.
"Whoosh~boom~"
"Whoosh~boom"
"Excellent archery skills. My wise nephew is indeed a master of all things. After all, he is no better than a pure businessman like us who has no ability to restrain a chicken."
Boss Li watched from the side for a while. At first, he pretended he didn't see Gu Kun miss the target. When Gu Kun finally hit the target for the second time, he cheered loudly, which could be regarded as saving face for Gu Kun.
Gu Kun shrugged and smiled, casually throwing the bow and arrow to the female secretary to take it with him. Then he got off his horse and took a few sips of water: "There are specialties in the art industry. I am not used to playing golf, so my skills are not as good as everyone else's."
."
The technique he showed just now was actually not as good as the other party praised him for. After all, Gu Kun didn't have much time to play these sports. Just now he was just shooting at a target ten steps away. He didn't expect to hit the bull's eye. He just wanted to hit the target.
The best result is two out of three serves.
Anyone who has played mounted archery knows that shooting an arrow on a running horse is many times more difficult than standing still and aiming. For amateurs, it is very good to be able to hit the target in ten steps.
As for his "disdain to play golf, everyone has their own strengths" attitude, it was obviously for psychological suggestion and to highlight the positioning of both parties——
When I was playing with the big bosses of the French Italian luxury group, I still had to cross the river to let the local snakes play golf. But with you, there is no need to pay so much attention. Just do whatever feels comfortable.
Boss Li is also a mature man. How could he fail to see Gu Kun's deliberate casualness? He was not angry, Weiwei covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly: "My dear nephew, if you have any good ideas today, you might as well speak up."
It's better to discuss business quickly. Who would really be in the mood to play at a racecourse like this where the benefits have just been transferred to the other party?
Gu Kun drank the water and threw the bottle away: "Then let me tell you straight. The day before yesterday, I came to support and bought the 'Zhonglian Technology' that was originally owned by Yingke. Will this help you? Boss Li should
I knew it well. After I made the move, several other sub-projects under Yingke were also slightly promoted by my gesture. Not to mention many, it was easy to sell an extra eight-digit US dollars per transaction."
Boss Li's smiling expression became a little stiff, but it didn't break.
In his heart, he couldn't help but feel resentful: Damn! You little traitor, you must have done it because you thought it was profitable. You have found a bargain and you still want me to accept your favor? Is there such a thing in the world?
Shameless person?
"Uncle Li, don't you believe it?" Gu Kun could tell by looking at the stiff expression on the other party's face.
The wrinkles on the corners of Boss Li's mouth twitched: "Haha, I can't talk about it. I just don't know much about the Internet, but I would like to hear the details."
Gu Kun Shiran went to sit down on a bamboo recliner and lit a cigar: "It's very simple. Let me give you one reason to prove that without my help, Zhonglian Technology would not be able to sell at such a high price - why did MIH listen?
After receiving my private analysis and explanation, they gave up trying to compete with me? Because I made them understand that there is not much room for imagination on an online chess and card platform like Zhonglian Technology that allows people to play for free.
If MIH takes it away, their only hope for profit in the future is to sell chips - more nicely called 'game beans/game coins', but you know the mainland's strict control over gambling. If MIH offends me in order to rob me,
To expect the chess and card game platform to make profits in the mainland market in the future is just a fool’s errand.
How well-connected am I with the mainland market? In this kind of business, as long as there is an opponent with better supervisory connections than you, there is no need to frame him. As long as business is done in an official manner and the law is strictly enforced, all his models of selling game currency will be eliminated.
Defined as illegal business."
Boss Li calmed down and thought for a while: "But what if you snatch it? Can't MIH put all its efforts into trouble for you? Or, in the future, will you share the money with others and manage it up and down?"
Gu Kun smiled proudly: "If I snatch it, there is no need for it to have a profit model - I can keep it free forever, support Zhonglian Technology as a completely public welfare charity, and lose up to tens of thousands of servers each year to rent the bandwidth network
I can afford to pay for software security upgrades and a hundred years of charity."
Boss Li couldn't help but be stunned, and then he finally started to listen carefully.
This Gu Kun, it seems that every game he plays is really big.
After Boss Li forcibly suppressed his emotions, he humbly asked: "I would like to hear the details. You don't really want to do charity, do you?"
"Of course, charity is just a means. I think in my capacity, the biggest advantage of being a permanent free platform for card and board games with the largest market in mainland China and the best user experience is that it can squeeze out those who have not yet appeared but will be able to do so in ten years."
Illegal online gambling platform that may appear in eight years. In this way, I can be regarded as a contribution to the mainland official, and I have done my part to ban money playing and prevent gambling on luck. Similarly, I can also suppress those who are physically incompetent.
Going abroad, but the opportunity for money and entertainment to be earned overseas.”
It may be difficult for a layman to understand these words. But Boss Li is very cunning, and he can understand it with just a few clicks.
Translate it in human terms: In fact, none of the businesses in later generations that were sold under the banner of "XXX in Aoxian County is open for business, real beauty dealers deal cards online" were actually run by companies in Aoxian County.
Because local laws in Ao County do not allow it. All practitioners, including He Duwang, have licenses that are only offline, physical, and require customers to physically visit the store.
The logic is also very simple. If online operations are allowed, franchise rights will be difficult to manage and external competition will increase. For the people of Aoxian County, the overall benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Those platforms with false advertisements of "Australia County Live Beauty Dealers Online Dealing" are actually from Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and the Philippines. The gambling industry in these poor countries is also legal, but the quality is always too low, and offline business
If you can't attract Aoxian County, start using the Internet.
(This must be praised by the Chinese authorities. At least none of those platforms are registered in mainland China. Even if the network is not well blocked, mainland players can search and log in, and the interfaces they see are all in Chinese, but those companies’
The registration places are all poor countries in Southeast Asia. If you dare to physically put the server and registration place in the mainland, you will have been removed by the just officials. Just like the telecommunications fraud company, they are all registered in Wanwan, but the target of the fraud is mainlanders.
reason.)
After understanding this logic, it is understandable why Gu Kun invested in Zhonglian Technology.
What he wants is not for Zhonglian itself to make a profit, what he wants is to rely on this platform to release the vast majority of chess and card sports needs that do not involve money, but mostly play free virtual items, thereby protecting the offline industry.
Maybe Lan Fang won't benefit the most from doing this - the He family in Ao County may still benefit the most, because if there is no money to play online, the people who go to Ao County offline will definitely be the most.
But Gu Kun can therefore play a more important international role in maintaining order in the entertainment industry in Southeast Asia.
This income is insignificant compared with the expenses of allowing many Chinese people in the future to play cards and mahjong online for free without even buying Happy Beans. In future generations, even if Happy Beans chess and cards do not sell Happy Beans, the annual operating costs will be
In fact, it’s not much money.
Gu Kun's purpose in entering this industry is to eliminate the Internet model of this industry and protect the world order of the offline physical model.
“…So, my thinking is the same as when I invested in Ali Baba, an e-commerce company in the Mainland. I invest in e-commerce not because I need e-commerce, but because I hope that when we enter the e-commerce era in the future, other competitors will
Counterfeit goods are rampant online for luxury brands, and they have a bad reputation.
Only for the brands I control, not only are there no places to sell fakes, but there is no place to sell even genuine products. In that case, wouldn’t my business level be higher?”
For Gu Kun, investing in the Internet is using the Internet to harm competitors.
"But apart from me, is there any other person in the world who can understand the value of this level? It's impossible, because unless you can become the founder of the old order in this field, you can stand like me.
Layout by height.
If there is no identity as the founder of the old order, it makes no sense to set up Ali Baba or Zhonglian Technology to make money alone. If you compensate, you will also be compensating for the founder of the old order in that industry."
If the wedding dress is not allowed to be bought and sold and arbitrage is not allowed, then it is cost-effective only for the groom to pay for the wedding dress.
At this time, the groom pays as much as he wants, and other people's bids will definitely not be as much as the groom's. If you insist on grabbing, you will only lose money.
So MIH gave up. After they calculated it, knowing that Gu Kun would definitely overturn the table, they gave it to Gu Kun.
At least Gu Kun can ensure that it is in his best interest if the table is broken. He hopes that no one will come to eat at this new table. There is his old table next door waiting for business.
Boss Li thought about it again and again and had to admit that he had no way to refute it.
Gu Kun saw that the other party had almost accepted his concept, and finally revealed the devil's persuasion: "Now, there is a better opportunity in front of me. There is something, and I thought of a nice story that can continue my past investment experience.
A reputation for infallibility in the field.
I can also help you adjust the valuations of other remaining chips to be processed by Yingke Digital. It depends on whether you are willing to pay me a yin and yang price. I will pay you one yuan, and you will pay me two yuan, and claim to the outside world that I paid three yuan.
