After reporting the Alipay incident, Ma Feng and Cai Chongxin also showed concern for Gu Kun's business in a very courteous manner, asking whether previous projects such as "Alipay Early User Tour Groups" had caused Gu Kun to lose money.
As early as October, Luo Youyi and Han Xiang, the first Internet cafe owners in China to join Alipay for online game recharge, formed a group of 300 people to come to Lanfang Xiaoyao for two weeks. But this was not this group.
The only group.
In the next two or three months, Alipay will issue a notice to anyone who sells point cards for online games that ranks among the top few in the country, or has the best sales performance within a prefecture-level city, or has the largest number of new local franchisees.
Benefits include reimbursement of one-way or round-trip air tickets.
On the one hand, this is also an incentive for Internet cafe owners to continue to promote, and on the other hand, it also allows everyone to see the gradient of early user bonuses. In short, the conditions for those in the back to receive benefits are definitely more stringent than those in the front.
Among them, those who are rewarded the most are "the Internet cafe owners who develop the most franchises" - of course Alipay did not explicitly say this, because if it explicitly told you to recruit new franchisees, it would be more like a rumor, but
There are actually rewards.
However, this move is not unusual. The chain development and growth of Haidilao in later generations was motivated in this way, and the effect was indeed good. For effective business incentives, Haidilao can certainly use Alipay.
(Note: To explain, one of the most critical aspects of Haidilao’s new strategy is that after the old store manager brings out his apprentice, if his apprentice goes out to become the manager of a newly opened store, then the profit of the new store will be lower than that of the old store.
In the long run, you can also take a few percentage points, which lasts for several years.
This has led to Haidilao's direct expansion being more stable than other franchise expansions, because all other brands are afraid of "teaching apprentices well and starving the master to death", and there are many quick tricks that are aimed at cheating training fees and franchise fees. But in Haidilao
Lao, using internal regulations, stipulates that the profits of the apprentices you teach within a few years after they leave the apprenticeship will be divided into a few percentage points to the master, in order to encourage the master to give away the land and improve the quality of service.)
However, considering the difficulty and attitude of countries around the world in obtaining visas for China as of early 2002, the domestic self-employed group has been discriminated against in terms of overseas visas. Now the people of Lanzhou are willing to exempt them from financial review, which brings a redundant sense of belonging.
It's unusual enough that they are motivated enough to be willing to spend money to play.
"When I go abroad, I don't have to have my financial situation scrutinized by the consulate." How face-saving is this for the self-employed group who lack social respect? They have to go to gain reputation. The nouveau riche have money, but face is what they lack.
Ma Feng mentioned this matter at this moment, partly to show off his performance growth, and partly to express his acceptance of Gu Kun's favor.
Gu Kun waved his hand nonchalantly: "This is all small money. I will definitely not make money from these people. I will take care of it and ask Xiao Lin and the others to make sure they get value for money and feel at home."
"Then I still give away profits and losses. Even if each person contributes a few thousand yuan, I will compensate for this money in an appropriate way one day." Ma Feng didn't want to owe more favors, so he immediately made his attitude clear, and then said insinuatingly.
Two additional questions have been added:
"By the way, do you think there is a decline in tourists here, including the Burj Al Arab Hotel and other tourism projects? Do you need to organize more domestic tourists to fill the vacancies left by the departure of Europeans and Americans?
You won’t be laughed at by those Japanese customers and competitors in the Middle East, right?”
Gu Kun couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Even you, a layman, know that people in the Middle East want to laugh at me? It seems that the struggle has become public. Don't worry, they can't see the joke. I want to find some new customers, but
Just let nature take its course, you can't help. As for Ibrahim and Mr. Mahathir, if they want to see a joke, it depends on how much they weigh."
Ma Feng quickly explained: "That's good, don't worry, it won't be made public to all laymen. The reason why I know is that at the end of the year, I traveled a lot with some Internet entrepreneurial colleagues in other tracks. There is a
When the boss of a new company that booked tour groups online came to me and talked to me about your relationship with me, he took the initiative and said that we could cooperate if necessary. I was just saying this, without any inclination."
Gu Kun frowned, narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself, no wonder Ma Feng's control was so broad.
It's true that Ma Feng has a wide circle of friends and has friends from all walks of life. After all, he relies on his emotional intelligence and the ability to build relationships to mix in circles.
Although Gu Kun was aware of some bad premonitions, he was still willing to give Ma Feng a chance to finish his words:
"Really? I'm not optimistic about the combination of so-called Internet tourism and our high-end resources here in Lanfang. After all, any e-commerce company will have to compete on price to some extent. Luxury goods are not suitable for e-commerce, and that's not why I invested in you.
When you become big in the future, you will represent me one day——
On the contrary, I invested in you Ali Baba because one day you will become big and you can buy all the brands online, but you can't buy my brand. So, the 'pioneer of Internet travel e-commerce entrepreneurship' you mentioned
, if it’s a low-price group that deceives people into shopping and gets back the money, then don’t talk about it as soon as possible. I, Gu Kun, will never cooperate with such a bitch again if I need customers. A high-end market like Lanfang cannot afford to lose this.
people."
Damn, have you ever seen the "Low-price tour with Diba" in later generations, as long as you shop the whole way, you can get zero negative tour fee? No, I haven't seen it.
Only Thais and Vietnamese can do this, either for domestic travel, especially shopping groups to Xiangjiang in the early years.
How could a person as strong as Gu Kun touch that kind of thing?
As expected, Ma Feng's expression was slightly sarcastic, and he explained self-deprecatingly: "I don't know much about it. This is a company called Biancheng Travel Network, which was established less than two years ago. Hey, I have met one of the co-founders, Mr. Shen.
, that can be considered an alumnus of your Jiaotong University. Another founding executive, Yang Jianchong, also graduated from Fudan, and your Jiaotong University is also a university in Hujiang, so I thought you could get along."
Gu Kun was engaged in the tourism industry in his previous life, so Internet companies related to the tourism industry were the type of Internet companies he knew best in his previous life.
However, after listening to Ma Feng's introduction, he still felt a little like he was in another world.
Mr. Shen still has some integrity. Although he quit after 2005, went to Sequoia Capital and became the helmsman of Sequoia China. Some of the projects he invested in later were a bit disgusting, but overall he was okay.
Many of Bian Cheng's despicable tactics were gradually deteriorated after the winter of the Internet. You can't blame a newborn baby for being despicable and shameless. Although Gu Kun later generations found it disgusting, to be fair, it was Yang Jian Cockroach's sole control. Sin after blackening.
"I don't need to cooperate with those cheap guys. If Mr. Shen wants to beg me to cooperate with me, he can come to talk to me as a private person or as an alumnus. I welcome it. But I won't and don't bother to deal with their team. No. Why.
I don’t want to deal with scumbag bastards who don’t respect people and regard living people as demographic dividends.”
