"What the fuck? So these Rambos are Lan Fang's police cars? You didn't tell me that you really didn't see it. The paint is black and white, but at first glance I thought they were Spider-Man."
When Yu Houde reminded him, Liu Dong was shocked and speechless for a long time.
However, it doesn't matter how shocked they are, because they are about to experience it for themselves.
Because after another observation, they discovered that there was actually a small waiting area at the end of the taxi queue, specifically for Lamborghinis. In Lanfang, there were not only Lambo police cars, but also a small number of Lambo taxis.
It's just that it's expensive and the car is small, so it's not suitable for tourists with a lot of people, so the capacity is small and there are few people sitting on it.
As high-end business people, of course they won’t squeeze into the subway when traveling on business, so they have to take any kind of taxi.
Since Lamborghini was just released in the second half of last year, even business elites such as Yu Houde and Liu Dong, without paying attention to this field, are actually having close contact for the first time. So they would rather wait and drive.
Open your eyes.
After queuing for a few minutes, we got into the Rambo queue.
It wasn't until the moment he got in the car that Liu Dong realized that Lambo only had a single row of double doors, which meant it could only seat two people. Besides the driver, there was only one passenger.
He and Yu Houde had no choice but to say a few polite words, and then each got into a car.
No wonder there are so few people taking this bus. It turns out that it is not suitable for family travel or those with partners. It can only be used by business travelers who are traveling alone without a secretary.
The Lamborghini started slowly, and the sound of the engine was very beautiful. Liu Dong was a little intoxicated sitting in the car.
Unexpectedly, I never expected that as an Internet entrepreneur, who is also considered a number one business figure, I would ride in a Lamborghini for the first time in my life, and I would actually take a taxi on a trip to Lanzhou!
Although he doesn't know the specific situation of others, he can make general guesses and know that there are probably many people like him.
This trip to Lanfang is so worthwhile. If you want to rent a Lamborghini in China, even if you rent it from a car rental agency for only one day, you will probably have to spend thousands of dollars - the cost of renting a luxury car is related to the year.
Yes, the newer a new car is, the more expensive it is, because it is difficult to get the goods and it is more scarce in the early stage.
Just like in later generations, when Tesla had not officially mass-produced or been officially allowed to be introduced into China, around 2010-11, it might cost 2.5 million to 3 million to bring a Tesla electric car back to China through special channels.
The cost is RMB. But if you wait five or six years, it may only cost RMB 1.8 million.
But the problem is that those who bought a Tesla for 3 million yuan and returned to China in 2011, in hindsight, definitely made a profit. It’s not that the car is good, but that the Chinese people’s mentality of seeking novelty and showing off is that they let luxury cars pose for photos.
It has become very marketable.
When you are most scarce in the early days, you may be able to earn thousands or even tens of thousands by lending a WeChat business platform to others. You may be able to rent three or five WeChat businesses a day in less than two hours. Calculating three million in the early stage
If you rent a Tesla to others and pose for photos in half a year, the cost will be fully repaid, and the subsequent profits will be net profits.
It can only be said that some people are smart, and they have figured out the business routine of "Congratulations to Mr.
He is very powerful, his business is very profitable, and he has a bright future as his heir...
Liu Dong is engaged in e-commerce. Although it is only 2006, he is also someone who has cooperated with Tengyun Paipai and other projects. Of course he knows that the essence of social e-commerce since ancient times is to pretend to be fat.
He deceived Xiaoxia's family into entering the market. So he used his own judgment to save others, so he could expect that there would definitely be many guys selling goods in the Q group who would specially come to Lanfang to travel and pose for photos.
I have to admire that Gu Kun grasped this timeline decisively. He just realized that Lamborghini was just launched in the second half of 2005 and its output was limited. After Gu Kun invested a certain percentage of shares in advance and signed a strategic cooperation, it is estimated that
Other luxury car channels around the world are still in the starvation marketing stage, and even those with money can't get the goods in stock.
Therefore, based on the experience of later generations of Teslas, we can infer the scarcity of Lambos in 2006. In China, if you want to rent a car to pose for a photo, even if it is just for a day, you will definitely not be able to get it for several thousand or even tens of thousands each.
——Whether it is a few thousand or tens of thousands depends on the city you are in and whether there are more similar people to amortize the cost for you for your pretentious needs.
For example, if you were in a first-tier international metropolis like Shanghai and Jiangsu, where there are hundreds of thousands of wealthy pretentious criminals, and the owner of a car rental agency who bought a Lambo could ensure that his Lambo would be rented out for photo shoots every day, then he might
I let it go after six or seven thousand in one day.
But if you are unfortunate enough to be born in a small city where you can’t find 100 pretentious people who are willing to spend the money to act cool, the owner of the car dealer must do a good job after buying it: "This kind of luxury car must be parked most of the time."
If the garage is gathering dust and no one is willing to rent it out, he would have to rent it out for at least 10,000 yuan a day before he would sell it.
After all, the car is depreciated every day when it is parked there, and the financial cost must also be taken into account. These money must be passed on to those pretentious criminals in the end. Don’t blame the owner of the car dealership if they think it is expensive. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the people in the same city with him.
The population of pretenders is too small.
After such a calculation, those pretentious criminals in small cities other than Beijing and Hujiang, instead of being taken advantage of, might as well spend thousands of dollars to sign up for a basic Lanfang tour group, and then arrive
In Lanfang, if you spend a few hundred yuan to take a Lamborghini taxi for a starting price, and then have some food, drinks and fun here at your own expense, the cost is about the same as renting a car for a day from a small city car dealer to pose for photos.
So at this juncture, Lan Fang actually used Lambo as a police car and a high-end rental car. I'm afraid this business will not be very good.
Who allowed the Lamborghini in Lanfang to be able to be "a pair of jade arms, pillowed by thousands of people, and a bit of red lips, tasted by thousands of guests"? Each car can be posed for photos by dozens of guests every day, so the cost is amortized.
Because the road conditions in Lanfang are good, the land is enough to build roads as wide as they want, and new roads are built every year. There are also elevated highways in the city, dedicated lanes for luxury cars, and various facilities.
Therefore, the performance of the Lamborghini taxi that Liu Dong was riding in was fully utilized. After leaving the airport, in just ten minutes, it passed through the entire main island and arrived at the most prosperous tourist and business district in the northwest corner of the main island, which is Lanfang.
The location of the Burj Al Arab Hotel.
The whole journey is dozens of kilometers long. It can be seen that the Lambo taxi drove at least 160 kilometers per hour on the dedicated elevated highway, and maybe even close to 200 kilometers per hour.
This generosity, this thrill of legal racing on a special elevated highway, everyone who has sat on it says it’s great.
When Liu Dong and Yu Houde stopped at the entrance of the Lanfang Yacht Hotel, they couldn't help but take out their mobile phones and take a group photo. Especially Liu Dong felt that the pixels of the mobile phones were not satisfactory.
I took out my SLR camera from my luggage bag and took a photo
I got one - who said that in 2006, mobile phones were still functional phones, and the cameras generally only had a resolution of 300,000 to 1 million pixels. How could such low pixels and such a blurry effect be worthy of Lan Fang's first time in his life?
Rambo?
Not to mention, when Liu Dong took out his SLR to take photos himself, there would occasionally be sounds of shutters and flashing lights next to him, which showed that there were quite a few people doing the same thing.
And from time to time, I can hear some self-talk coming from next to me: "Well, go back and edit this photo a little bit, remove the characteristics of the taxi and the people next to it, and post it in QQ space. Don't be afraid to find me."
If you wholesale tea and sell it in the QQ group, your next shop won’t come back.”
"Sir, you haven't paid the bill yet."
After all the guests took a few photos, the driver finally couldn't help but remind them, and those posing for photos quickly paid out with some shame.
"How much?"
"The starting price is 300, 20 per kilometer, the total is 880. Thank you."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
No passenger would be embarrassed by this kind of issue. After all, they are just here to experience life, maybe just once, and more than 800 is really not expensive. Compared with the travel expenses of tens of thousands, everyone is willing to spend it.
This taxi is expensive.
After paying the fare, Yu Houde and Liu Dong walked into the hotel lobby chatting and laughing. They originally planned to stay in the most ordinary standard room worth 10,000 yuan a night, but because they were impressed by the surrounding atmosphere, they found that there was something wrong.
Some of my fellow photographers from the Internet e-commerce circle, and even other colleagues who showed off their wealth similar to micro-business establishments, were embarrassed to lose their status, so they spent more than 40,000 yuan a day to upgrade to a business suite.
You also need to pay a deposit in case you check out overtime the next day so you can easily renew. Therefore, if you stay in a business suite with more than 40,000 yuan, you will actually have to pay a minimum of 100,000 yuan at a time. The extra money will be refunded when you check out.
repair.
"One hundred thousand yuan can be spent so easily at the top shopping place in Lanfang. You can stay in a store and just walk in. It's really the best gold-selling cave in the world."
After completing the formalities, the two said hello and goodbye in the elevator room and went back to their rooms. They made an appointment to have tea together when they are free in a few days.
Yu Houde took a break and tidied up, then took out his mobile phone and called Boss Ma Fengma, asking Boss Thomas for a recommendation. He said that he wanted to cooperate with Lan Fang in online travel booking and group business.
He also said that there might be some valuable information that he would like to give to Mr. Gu as a certificate of submission.
"You are less than, I remember, you came back last year and re-opened an online travel booking company, right? It's not bad. After working for more than a year, you actually have the courage to cooperate with Boss Gu. Okay, let me help you find it.
If you have any opportunities, if you need investment or strategic cooperation, please feel free to tell me."
Boss Ma was also very polite on the phone. After all, his Ali Baba also needed the cooperation of various narrow and focused e-commerce partners. For example, in later generations, he also spent money to buy shares of Biancheng Travel Network. Only
But now that Biancheng is dead, it’s Niutu’s turn to go online and occupy the ecological niche of being the number one player on this track.
After all, he is an important merchant who uses Alipay for payment, so Boss Ma has no reason to be in trouble with him.
That night, Yu Houde got a reward from Boss Ma, saying that he would have the opportunity to meet Mr. Gu tomorrow.
