"Don't get excited. You will know later that I am indeed selfless. But money is not so easy to get, so don't be anxious."
Seeing Ma Feng's excitement, Gu Kun reminded him,
“I have criticized Biancheng Travel Network, and in the future I may also criticize other companies that rely on capital to mature and rely on those companies that ignore the Anti-Unfair Competition Law and make false claims, leaving them with no chance of death.
But after all, these companies are also high-tech Internet companies in China - no matter whether they have technological content or not, at least according to your current standards, all Internet companies are considered high-tech companies. I beat them to death, whether it is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, or others.
Even in some places, there are always things that are more difficult to do.
If you look familiar, how should you make peace with me? If I serve you wine and you go help me drink it, just treat it as a punishment for drinking three glasses of wine. Understand what I mean. Anyway, I have always been friendly and an old friend of the Chinese people. Kill one
A travel network worth 50 million U.S. dollars, a cutter suction ship worth 100 million U.S. dollars for land reclamation, or other construction equipment worth 100 million U.S. dollars will be donated to the country. If we do it, we must establish our authority."
Gu Kun would have liked to just donate a 100,000-ton fishery vessel, but that thing could easily be targeted by enemy countries, so he decided not to do it. Just find some civilian equipment to express his sincerity.
Only in this way can the anti-criminal company's business be maintained for a long time without being blocked. (If it is done once or twice, it doesn't matter if you don't take care of it afterwards. If you want to eliminate it for a long time, you have to take care of it.)
After hearing Gu Kun's words, Ma Feng was filled with emotion, admiration, disdain and a wry smile: "You are persistent..."
Gu Kun: "Actually, if you stand in my position, you can understand all this. For a powerful person who aims to be a high-end brand, fighting against counterfeiting is a way to enhance his brand value and status in the world. And I
You can not only do justice for heaven, but also sacrifice your sword to establish your authority, why not do it."
It is difficult to become a noble quickly, but it is not impossible to achieve it quickly. For example, by killing other upstarts, you can increase the speed of your rise in the noble circle.
If Gu Kun could force Iprasin to commit suicide after his business failed, and set up a blood sacrifice sign saying "Whoever competes with Lan Fang to steal the world's No. 1 wealthy city character will be punished no matter how far away they are, they will cut the grass and root out", then he would be as good as the Monaco people.
Twenty years of construction of aristocratic historical heritage.
In "The Ball of Suif", those French high-end luxury carpets with high quality became the Prussian officers' foot wipes when the Prussian army conquered France, which instantly interrupted the French quality.
The spine is trampled to the ground.
In the final analysis, cultural superiority cannot become a castle in the air.
After Gu Kun and Ma Feng chatted for a while, Ma Feng roughly knew where to go.
After three rounds of drinking, and the conversation was in full swing, suddenly Ma Feng's cell phone rang. Ma Feng looked apologetic, took it out, took a quick look, and immediately pinched it.
"Let's drink and reminisce today. It's not a serious matter. We should take over what we have to do. The business is more important." As the host, Gu Kun naturally wanted to show his generosity.
"It's okay, I really don't need to answer, I'm just a stalker." Ma Feng explained apologetically, "They are just some of the online travel platforms that we invested in before. Isn't this useless, but they don't give up.
.
I've been ignoring them for a long time, and kept asking the front desk and secretary to tell them that I wasn't in the company, so they couldn't find me. I guess they heard that I came to your place today, so I dared to come to your door and block people, causing you trouble."
Gu Kun: "Are they all blocking my place? If you have the guts, you'd better meet them and tell them clearly to make them give up. There is nothing to escape from this kind of thing. It is originally a matter of sacrificing swords and establishing power. Diba people
It has been completely defeated, and there is no need for us to be so secretive."
Ma Feng thought for a while: "Yes, then I'll listen to you."
Ma Feng said, and when the next call came in, he answered it, and then gave a few instructions. A few minutes later, several guests appeared at the door of Guzhuang and were brought in by security personnel.
Obviously, these people have been waiting in the Huayuan Tea House opposite Guzhuang on Yanggongdi for a long time.
Ma Feng is also sure that after hanging up the phone once, they will definitely continue to call. Therefore, Ma Feng will not take the initiative to call back, so as not to lose his worth or give the other party some undue delusional expectations.
…
"Boss Ma agreed to meet me!"
In the teahouse opposite Guzhuang, a young man who was not yet 25 years old clenched his fists excitedly after hanging up the phone. It was obvious that he was having a lot of inner drama.
Just Ma Feng's answer made him mistakenly believe that things would turn around.
This young man’s surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Houde. He studied at a university in Jinling and has just graduated and has been working for less than two years. When he just graduated, he joined China’s first blogging website “Huaxia Blog” as a staff member.
He is an ordinary employee who has worked part-time for more than a year and gained experience. He performed well and was promoted.
But soon, as the Internet winter gradually deepened, "Huaxia Blog" quickly fell into trouble. Although it has not gone bankrupt, it is still on the verge of death.
For middle-level cadres and technical backbones who have performed well, although the layoffs during the cold winter period of Blog Network are not their turn, they are inevitably "optimized" and adjusted their salary structure. Therefore, some people who claim to have learned some skills and have ideas will inevitably
You will feel excited inside.
According to the original history, Yu Houde also knew that going out to start a new business during the cold winter was almost a dead end. Even if he had a good idea, he would not be able to get investment, so he had to endure a salary cut for two years, and only went out to start his own business in 2005.
, later this guy also started an Internet travel platform.
However, because Gu Kun changed history, and because at the beginning of the year, Biancheng Travel Network was targeted by Diba Capital and suddenly emerged in this cold winter, so the domestic Internet people seemed to see another growth point in the cold winter——
It seems that even if the environment is winter, as long as you bet on the right track, you can still find a way out in the cold winter.
For example, the online game industry, such as online travel booking platforms.
Sure enough, as long as it is an Internet business that intersects with Gu Kun and Gu Ye's business, there will be a ray of warmth even in the cold winter!
Under this temptation, at the end of the first quarter and the second quarter, a number of domestic small travel booking black websites were born - that is, when they were dealing with Biancheng Travel.com and the Diba people, they were defeated by Gu Kun
Those things that the invisible hand used as bait for fishing.
Under the temptation of false prosperity, Yu Houde also decisively resigned from the blog network. He chose to come out three years earlier than the same period in history. He found the track of Internet travel booking in the cold winter, jumped in, and opened a company called
"Donkey Road" ticket booking website. (Originally it did not exist in history, so there is no need to check it)
Because of his good ability, at least he looks good among the group of colleagues who run small websites and black websites. The ticket booking website run by Yu Houde also performs well. Although it cannot compare with Biancheng Travel.com, it is still quite good compared with others.
of.
Because the industry environment is moving towards subsidies and zero group fees to compete for business, and this business model has not been hit, Yu Houde was also fooled by lard for a while, and rushed into this business model, desperately trying to beat the price.
Zhan. As for the money that was burned, Ali Baba’s boss Ma Fengma who invested in him at that time had a lot of money. Anyway, it was Boss Ma’s money that was burned.
Yu Houde estimated at the time that Ma Feng's logic for investing in him was that "although the travel network does not make money, it can expand the user scale of Alipay as a payment tool and increase Alipay's market visibility and coverage through this travel network."
”.
Yu Houde’s estimate cannot be wrong, because when future online ride-hailing companies such as Bibi Dache and Kuaibi Dache took money from Ali and Tengyun, didn’t they also follow the principle of “the reason why they invested money in us?
I don’t want to increase the application scenarios and frequency of Alipay and WeChat Pay in the field of mobile payment. Therefore, I am willing to spend money and lose money on taxi rides to cultivate the mobile payment habits of people across the country.”
Being in the circle, this is the easiest logic to think of.
But what he never expected was that after he thought he had been taken advantage of, Ma Fenghui Nian would always hope that Lutu would develop well after he invested so much money in "Lvtu" and took up so many shares.
Having a higher valuation will also make Ma Feng's own business financial statements more beautiful and better explain to Ma Feng's investors.
Unexpectedly, after being exploited, Ma Feng actually threw away Lvtu.com like a chamber pot because he disliked the smell! Even if the valuation plummeted and the goodwill reputation was damaged, it didn't matter. He didn't even think about saving it, he just wanted to distance himself from the relationship.
Leave.
Is there any reason in the world to throw away money if it smells bad if you drop it in the toilet? It is money after all, can it be used after being washed?
In line with this unwillingness to be aggrieved, Yu Houde has recently embarked on this road of asking for Ma Feng everywhere, trying to block the door and complain. He hopes that Ma Feng will open up and give his company a chance to reform.
, don’t abandon this brand just because it started as a “zero fee tour”.
But Ma Feng had always disdained to see him and disappeared with him. He didn't give up. When he found out that Ma Feng had come to Gu Kun's place to discuss his merits and reward him, he eagerly rushed to Gu Kun's house and blocked the door to see him.
No way, entrepreneurs don't care much about face when their business is at stake.
As long as the company doesn't go bankrupt, face is nothing.
Now, finally, all the hard work has paid off.
Yu Houde walked timidly to the gate of Guzhuang, handed over his business card, and weakly said that he had just made an appointment with Ma Feng and went in to find Mr. Ma.
At the front desk of Guzhuang, a beautiful hacker blue-white girl who was extremely beautiful and had been trained to have a somewhat oriental graceful and restrained temperament looked at his business card with a smile, confirmed the reservation, and then walked with a smile on her face.
Take him in.
This scene made Yu Houde feel like he was in the clouds, and he didn't dare to leave the atmosphere. Looking at the antique but extremely luxurious decorations on both sides, he just felt like he was in a fairyland, which was suffocating.
"Oh, it would be great if I could leapfrog the ranks and hug Mr. Gu's lap. If all this was set up by Mr. Gu to put the cheap companies that do zero-fee tours in his pocket and then catch them all, who would do this! I
I also want to embrace Master Gu’s lap and start a boutique ticket booking business directly!”
Except for a few weirdos in this world, no one is born to make cheap money.
