Gu Kun's counterattack was unexpected by the Diba people.
"Fuck! Gu Kun has been prepared for this for a long time. It seems that he has packed his pockets in advance by loosening the outside and tightening the inside? Damn he fell into the trap!"
About three to five days after the series of breaking and counter-breaking news dissipated, Iprasin finally took a breath, and in the chaotic current situation, he roughly saw the current strength and weakness of the enemy and ourselves.
Investing in Internet travel companies, launching zero-cost and low-cost tour groups in the Lanzhou market, and lowering the competitiveness of the Lanzhou market. This series of operations has undoubtedly ended in complete failure.
At this moment, the only thing he was a little confused about was that he didn't know how much he had lost and how much criticism he had suffered.
After all, many losses are hidden, such as goodwill. Your reputation for goodwill has declined, which cannot be quantified immediately.
The real world is not a game, and there is no system. How can you put a health bar of reputation value directly on the company name, and the rise and fall can be clearly seen at a glance.
These will take time to be verified slowly and through specific symptoms.
However, the direct losses were still clearly visible. The anxious Yipraxin finally took some time to take stock after calming down.
…
This day is about halfway through June, and more than a week has passed since the news breaking war first broke out.
Ipraxin's assistant brought him the most intuitive bad news: "Boss, I have bad news. I hope you are mentally prepared. China has urgently revised some provisions of the relevant industry management regulations. There are currently no
Tour groups that charge negative tour fees are already illegal business activities that are expressly prohibited in China.
However, there is currently no explanation for the low-fare tour groups. They have been exempted from the Internet for the time being. It should be that the competent authorities feel that it is difficult to define what constitutes a low-fare tour group. However, in actual law enforcement, there are obvious signs of strictness.
Moreover, the Biancheng Travel Network you invested in has also been temporarily inspected and has to suspend operations for a period of time. This is quite fatal for an Internet company in the startup stage. Although the company is far from being listed, it is only
It is this kind of bad news about rectification that reportedly caused other venture capital evaluation agencies to drop its valuation by more than half."
As long as Internet companies are not listed, their valuations are fictitious. Therefore, this cannot directly affect Yipraxin. And as long as he does not plan to sell the equity of Biancheng Travel Network to cash out, the valuation will fall or not.
It doesn't matter.
However, this will cause his nominal wealth to shrink, and it will also cause his investors to have less confidence in him, and the restrictions will be more stringent - Ipraxin is an investor in Yang and Biancheng Travel Network, but Ipraxin
Xin himself is also an entrepreneur, and the identities of investor and entrepreneur are inherently interchangeable.
Iprasim may not care about the valuation of Mr. Yang’s business, but Iprasim must care about what Mahathir, the major shareholder, thinks of him.
A total of 37 million U.S. dollars was invested in it, in exchange for more than half of the shares of Biancheng Travel Network.
At the peak of the valuation of these equity interests, which was before the confrontation between the revelations and counter-revelations, the highest value once rose to more than 50 million U.S. dollars, and the entire Biancheng Travel Network was valued at more than 100 million U.S. dollars.
But now, after cutting off at least 70 to 80%, the valuation of the entire company may be only 20 million. The equity in Yiprasin's hands may be worth only 10 million U.S. dollars. So far, the investment has been
The money has evaporated to the tune of $27 million.
If there is another bad news, and it falls a little further, and falls below the round figure of 10 million US dollars, the money may not be much different, but the reputation will be much worse, and it will be easier to be noticed by peers and become a laughing stock.
The valuation fluctuations of Internet companies are inherently exciting and ups and downs.
In addition to the loss of market value of the Internet companies in which they invested, there was another loss with a larger total amount, which was caused by the loss of luxury goods that were previously stocked to cooperate with the shopping group——
The inventory of genuine goods did not suffer much loss. Only a batch of fake goods were displayed together with the fake goods at the black group shopping spot and were confiscated as stolen goods. As for the rest of the goods that had been stored in the warehouse, the Lanfang people did not
There is no reason to seize it.
In total, the cost of directly confiscated counterfeit goods is in the millions of dollars, and the implicated losses of genuine goods are in the range of tens of millions of dollars.
In addition, because this model in Lanfang can no longer continue, the remaining genuine goods that have not been sold out have to be transferred back to Diba and sold in the shopping mall in Diba. Considering the capital acquisition cycle,
Shipping cycles, unsaleable depreciation caused by out-of-season styles...the total loss is estimated to be at least tens of millions of dollars.
Combined with the drop in investment valuation, the total of all four direct economic losses has exceeded US$100 million.
This is a loss that cannot be ignored in the rise of Dibba, a wealthy city-state. After all, Dibba’s own money is not much, and the entire city-state has only a few billion but less than 10 billion U.S. dollars in chiefdom assets. The real value of the United Arab Emirates
The rich one is the city-state of Abu Dhabi, which claims to have between two and three hundred billion U.S. dollars in emirate assets.
The loss is equivalent to a few percent of the entire chieftain's assets, which is quite serious for an ordinary chieftain who does not want to inherit the title.
After hearing the specific data, Iprasin felt unreasonably agitated. After calming down for a long time, he finally came out of this series of setbacks that did not harm the foundation of the city-state:
"These numbers are no longer important! What I care about now is how much loss Gu Kun and our goodwill and reputation have suffered. If our strategic goals are more or less achieved, losing money is acceptable.
I want to know, there is obviously intelligence that shows that those small and black websites that later flocked to follow the example of Biancheng Travel.com also have some capital investment records that are suspected of being from Lan Fang, or they have capital from an Internet force in China called Ali Baba.
In order to further promote Alipay, Ali Baba turned a blind eye and deceived Gu Kun——
This information, when I was making decisions before, the people below were all sure of it, why doesn't it exist now? If there are problems with those black companies, does it mean that Gu Kun is guarding himself, or at least is lax in his control? Does it prove that
His people were also involved in those dirty things that brought down the tourism industry in Lanzhou to line their own pockets! Why didn’t I see anything in the end?”
Iprasin was hysterical and asked about this point, venting endlessly.
Readers may find it hard to understand this point, which is not surprising. Because here we are going to talk about a subtle and subtle operation that was not obvious in Gu Kun’s previous layout.
As we all know, as mentioned above, after Yipraxin invested in Biancheng Travel Network, when he first started to engage in zero-low-fee tours to drive down the Lanfang tourism market, many operations at the specific implementation level were relatively cautious, and he did not dare to play with the scale.
If it is too big, then gradually increase the amount through trial and error.
But the bad thing is that after Biancheng Travel Network experienced the benefits of expanding its market share and user scale, many new, newly registered small Internet travel booking and group platforms also came to grab business. These small platforms have wild ideas.
There is no historical baggage, and the scale is more liberal than that of big websites like Biancheng Travel. Therefore, the big websites were forced in disguise and saw that "it seems okay to do this" and then let it go.
In other words, although big websites did something wrong, they were also seduced by their peers. If they had not watched their peers do this and it was okay after doing it, and let them rush so fiercely in the first place, big companies would not have dared.
The people in Ipraxin were alert to what these radical small companies were doing at first and investigated it. However, they later discovered that some of the new small travel website companies were influenced by Gu Kun's men who were twisting and turning.
Some of the capital investment seems to be invested by Ma Feng from Ali Baba and Alipay. The money is not much, but it is still a gesture.
Ma Fenghui would "betray" Gu Kun and invest in projects that would undermine the quality of Lanfang's tourism industry. This kind of thing is easy to understand and believe in Ipraxin's view.
Firstly, Iprasin did not understand Ma Feng's loyalty to Gu Kun, and secondly, he felt that Ma Feng and Gu Kun's interests were inconsistent, just like his and Yang's interests were inconsistent. Chief Mahathir
The interests of Chu and Ipraxin are also inconsistent.
If he were asked to choose from Ma Feng's position and do something "secretly, as long as it is not discovered, it will be beneficial to the growth of Alipay users, but it will damage the goodwill of Lanfang's tourism market", then he would
With Iprasin's character, he would definitely judge others by himself.
After all, the interests of "Alipay" belong to you, and the interests of Lanfang Tourism Market belong to your boss. How can the boss's interests be compared with the interests of your own small group? If everyone was so selfless, there would be no small group trap.
They have collectively cheated the country.
This kind of understanding gave Yiprasin an illusion: Even if the matter was exposed in the future, Gu Kun might not dare to take decisive action when he saw that the people around him were involved, or he might treat it coldly because he was afraid of making the family scandal public.
.
Who would have expected that in the end, Gu Kun would overturn the entire stage and kill them all equally.
This is too cruel and unreasonable.
Unfortunately, it happens to be the truth.
Iprasin's secretary had to remind her boss with fear: "I'm sorry, boss, it seems that we have all fallen into Gu Kun's scheme. Those small companies that induced us to further let go of our hands and feet were all abandoned by Gu Kun."
His original tactic was probably to have some abandoned Ula charge up and mince meat with us, and then he would cover them all with indiscriminate firepower, killing them all regardless of whether we were enemies or friends.
Now, he has dealt with it so decisively, so no one in Monaco or other colleagues in the luxury fashion circle will doubt that he directed and acted all this. They will only think that this is a big business for his family and he was not aware of it for a moment.
He was enriched by his subordinates, but he soon realized his mistake and corrected it, and destroyed all those who enriched himself."
In this series of operations, did Gu Kun suffer direct financial losses? Of course he did.
Those newly registered travel companies that were abandoned, those baits that induced Ipraxin's people to expand their scale, all went bankrupt after being manipulated by Gu Kun so hard. The cost they spent on early promotion was as much as the cost of making the game.
Of course, all the costs have been lost, and now these companies are not worth a dollar.
Gu Kun spent at least tens of millions of dollars to build this game and raise these cannon fodder.
All I can say is, it's too cruel.
Iprasin was lamenting how to deal with the aftermath when another piece of bad news came.
Another of his assistants knocked on the door of his office and informed something: "Boss, Mr. Mahathir wants to make an appointment to see you next week. He seems to be very dissatisfied with your recent investment failure. He wants to
It is necessary to cancel all subsequent investment in projects that have not yet started construction..."
