Ipraxin quickly thought: If Gu Kun and Lan Fang's tourism and luxury shopping industries could be completely eliminated, his entire career would be saved!
Although Dibata has already started laying the foundation, there is still the possibility of modifying the design in the first few months or even the first half year of laying the foundation! Of course, according to the progress of the project, it will only take more than half a year to lay the foundation.
There is no possibility of modifying the underlying design, or modifications will lead to a complete overhaul and the loss of all the costs already invested in the early construction.
In any case, Gu Kun had disgusted him for so long, so he could indeed consider a desperate fight.
The success of his business no longer depends on himself, but on the fact that he must make Gu Kun worse than him. The luxury industry and the show-off industry do not need any absolute value, only relative value, and what is needed is this
World ranking.
As long as the world's number two dies, no matter how much the world's number one service quality drops, as long as it remains number one, there will be no problem. There are so many vain people who will pay for the false reputation of number one in the world.
So, a stern look flashed in Ipraxin's eyes, and he asked cautiously: "Can you make the Lanfang tour project into a bitch tour with super cheap tour fees? Are you really sure of this?"
Mr. Yang: "I need at least 20 million US dollars to set up some shopping malls, specialty stores, and other low-cost tour groups in Lanfang to earn back the investment. Special users can lock the doors at designated places for tourists going to Lanfang."
For shopping.”
Iprasin: "Wouldn't this violate the relevant economic management regulations of Lanzhou?"
Mr. Yang: "As long as it does not violate China's contract law - our contract with Chinese tourists was signed in China. If they really want to cause trouble in a foreign country, we can just tolerate it for a while and wait until they leave Lanzhou."
We will then hold them responsible for breach of contract. If they don’t pay compensation, we will hold their passports and not let them enter the customs.”
There is still a certain area in the world that has passed through the customs of one country but has not yet entered the customs of another country. There is nothing to elaborate on the details. Anyway, various irregular tours with zero and low tour fees in later generations have evaded supervision in various ways.
A little bit of cunning is enough for these despicable people to manipulate.
Many of these tricks have been consigned to the garbage heap of history after more than ten or twenty years, and have become illegal means that have been completely abandoned. Normal tourists will not encounter these pitfalls when traveling, so there is no need to say more - Improve Readers
To understand this kind of thing, we must also pay attention to practicality. How can we popularize knowledge that humans are destined to never use again in their lives?
Yipraxin nodded, feeling that there was indeed something going on in this matter.
"Yes, I am willing to invest you 20 million US dollars - I don't expect you to become big. I will treat the 20 million US dollars as investing in a failed project, but there is no room for ambiguity about ruining Gu Kun's character! Otherwise
, I will let you die badly."
If Mr. Yang just listened, he would not take to heart such nonsense and scary words as not to die a good death.
"Anyway, if I really fail, I will never come to the Middle East again in this life. You really want to bite me. Do you have a chance?" He thought to himself indifferently. After all, the most important thing is to get the investment first.
Without being an immersive observer, one may not be able to sympathize with the urgency of his decision--but that's just because most people don't understand how cold the Internet winter was in early 2002.
At that time, many Internet companies failed before they could survive. Even companies like Huang Yi that succeeded in their Nasdaq IPOs had historically fallen to more than 50 cents or 60 cents per share.
As for other unlisted companies, as long as they did not receive sufficient amounts of venture capital at the high level in 1999, most of them are dead.
In other words, despite the success of BAT in later generations, if Xiao Ma had taken Mr. Li's investment one year earlier or one year later, or Lao Ma had taken Sun Zhengyi's money one year earlier or one year later, he would have taken the investment from Mr. Li one year earlier or one year later.
Ma Xiaoma's company also has a high probability of dying.
Of course, the market demand is still there. Even if their company dies, there will still be people in the Chinese world doing social software and e-commerce. If the company dies, it will just be the second place to fill in, or other companies will cross over.
Changing lanes and overtaking, the card owner is a pitfall in this ecological niche. But the winners may not be the few today.
If someone were to look at it from the perspective of a reborn person, they would certainly feel that "Although Biancheng Travel Network was a bit miserable during the cold winter, it seems that it did not do such desperate things in the end, and managed to survive the cold winter with a bit of breath."
But after all, this is a conclusion from a God's perspective. Guys like Mr. Yang and Boss Shen who are in the game don't have a God's perspective.
They don't know how long the cold winter will last. Now that there is a better opportunity out there, it is not surprising that Yang would choose to take a gamble by offending foreigners.
Anyway, he feels that if he doesn't bet on his company, there is a high probability that it will be destroyed.
Since the purpose is to escape, no matter how harsh or abnormal the conditions are, it is possible to negotiate.
Based on this tone, the two parties plotted some details and finally finalized the cooperation framework.
…
Seven thousand kilometers away in Lanfang, Gu Kun did not realize the little moves of those bed bugs at all.
After all, after Mr. Yang took the investment from Iprasin, it will take time to lay out the layout - it will take time to open those black specialty stores exclusively for tourist groups in Lanfang, right? Even if the house is ready-made, it will still take time
Let's do a little decoration.
The specific operation is actually similar to how the Chinese would go to open those French luxury stores near the Lefayette Shopping Center in Paris a few years later.
In later generations, starting around 2005/06, Chinese people began to open stores specifically for Chinese tourists in tourist cities such as Paris and Milan. Whether they were selling donkey brands or Gucci, Chinese tourists thought they were in France.
When shopping in the store, the bosses behind the scenes are all Chinese, but the Chinese bosses don’t dare to show their faces, fearing that tourists will be wary and feel cheated by their compatriots.
Who makes the Chinese have high IQs and are thousands of years ahead of other nations in the world in the field of conspiracy and conspiracy?
Chinese tourists always have a sense of intellectual superiority when they meet white and black people when they go out. They are very relaxed and feel that they will never be deceived by those ethnic groups who have not yet fully civilized in the field of strategy. Only when they meet their own compatriots, they will know how to deceive others.
, the pores all over the body will stand up and enter a state of full alert. How can the store make money?
Therefore, for the venture capital that Mr. Yang received in February, all the preparations were done, and the actual operation was put into large-scale recruitment and group recruitment. The whole process was put into operation, and the first tourist season in time had to be during the May Day Golden Week.
Okay. It’s best to test the water first during the spring off-season in April and get used to it.
…
Mr. Yang had begun to act arbitrarily. About half a month later, at the end of February and the beginning of March, another partner within Cheng, Boss Shen, finally realized the problem.
When he saw the large amount of investment in the company's accounts, his first reaction was to be shocked. Then he checked the flow of money in and out, and looked at all the strategic cooperation contracts and investment agreements kept by the secretary of the board of directors. He was so shocked that he couldn't say no.
Speak up.
The reason why he was bypassed by Mr. Yang is also due to the fact that the company's management was indeed relatively loose during the Internet winter period. On the other hand, it was also because the general environment was so short of money that every partner got a job offer in advance.
When making money, many things can be decided first without consulting the partners - it is unimaginable if this kind of thing becomes big, but in the cold winter, things are urgent and the company has only been established for two years. It is so irregular.
The situation is indeed very common.
On the other hand, it is also to blame that this guy Yi Prasin is too courageous. When he had not completed many follow-up due diligence and detailed negotiations with Biancheng Travel Network, he only relied on a framework initialed by Yang.
With the agreement, the first few million of the US$20 million investment has already been paid.
This kind of thing is very common in projects that are on schedule. For example, when the Internet bubble was at its peak, a Korean fund just relied on an introduction article about Paypal in the Wall Street Journal to start a project without any negotiation or meeting.
, directly sent $5 million to Paypal, and just wrote "The Wall Street Journal said your company is valued at $500 million, here it is $5 million, and we want 1% of your company's equity."
It's just that after entering the cold winter period, there are not many donors who are willing to give money so readily. This time, the donor is too anxious and wants to get results as soon as possible. So he can't wait to go through the process with a few million US dollars in upfront money.
, pay directly.
That's why Boss Shen's response was slow. In fact, it wasn't much slower. It was just the money he got in the middle of the month that was discovered when he took stock of his finances at the end of the month.
Shen Beipeng immediately called Yang for this matter.
"Xiao Yang, how dare you take such money? Gu Kun will not allow you to open a black shop in Lanfang to prey on cheap group customers. Are you afraid of making a big fuss and ruining the company's reputation? And introducing new investors,
How dare you not discuss it with me, your partner? Is this a company co-founded by the two of us? You are trying to lead the company into a trap!" Shen Beipeng said something harsh.
"Survival is more important than reputation! Gu Kun looks down on us, so we just go around him and do it ourselves. Whose business does it get in the way? Besides, there is no room for maneuver in this matter. I have indeed 'fully' used the company's
Authorization, if the contract is broken, the public
The company can hold me accountable. But the company can’t prove to the outside world that you didn’t know and the company is innocent, so as long as you refuse to cooperate, the company will die as well and pay the Diba people to pay for their lives.” Yang retorted, he was obviously
It's time to make a decision.
"You..." Shen Beipeng was speechless for a moment.
The investigation of the company's articles of association is internal, and the investigation of the company's internal discipline is also only internal. As for the external responsibilities, if the company has faults or exceeds the authorization limit, it must also bear it. The current financial situation is obviously
I can't bear any storm.
Shen Beipeng was extended an olive branch by Gu Kun, so he knew more about Gu Kun's true power, and he also had a way out, knowing that Gu Kun would still treat him with a bit of friendship as an alumnus.
Therefore, he really did not want to offend Gu Kun.
