Chapter 91 Dubai people are just swollen faces and fat people
"Mr. Gu..., may I ask what your orders are?"
After receiving the internal call at the reception desk, Midlova cautiously went to Gu Kun's suite to listen to the other party's needs.
This wealthy businessman from the East has been staying at the Mankasky Hotel for almost half a month. Business talks have been going on one after another, and the deals have been extremely generous. In order to better make money from him, Midrova also
After two weeks of studying Chinese, I improved my level of Chinese that I could only speak a few sentences at first.
The women who can work at the Mankaski Hotel will know a few words of foreign languages. You may not have a high degree of education, but at least your English level must be intermediate, because the people here are all wealthy foreigners. That is, in the last one or two years,
Starting from the new year, I even have to learn a little bit of Chinese.
When the other party came in, Gu Kun was writing furiously. After hearing this, he put down his pen, thought for a moment, and ordered:
"Tomorrow I will rent your indoor hot tub and swimming pool, hold a party, and entertain some important guests. You go and confirm that it is not open to the public. Give me a price and settle in cash."
"Okay sir, I'll make arrangements right away." Midlova carefully agreed with her nose and nose in mind.
"And." Gu Kun called to the other party, hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the black tea and took a sip, "Any girls here who are willing to do those kinds of business will stay tomorrow. I'm going to have a pool party. I'm very lax in my tone.
, if you like to go out and brag, don't notify me. If this thing is done well, I will give you an extra agency fee."
"Thank you, I will definitely satisfy you."
…
The next day, Gu Kun invited Cheryshev, Dimitri and a group of fat-bellied old men to hold a frank negotiation meeting in the hotel's heated swimming pool and bathhouse.
The Lucian people's desire for hot spring baths is rare in the world, so the resorts on the Black Sea coast, such as high-end hotels in Sochi and Sukhumi, all have hot spring baths. After the Chinese became rich in later generations, there was no shortage of hot spring baths.
Went there to play.
But Sochi and Sukhumi rely on their unique geological advantages - those places are close to the Caucasus Mountains, with active crustal movement and rich geothermal resources. The western and northern coasts of the Black Sea do not have such good natural conditions, but everyone can still
By burning boilers, artificially provide such a simulation place.
That scene was roughly the same as the swimming pool mansion that Connor and Lieutenant Anderson saw when they went to meet that big boss of Sky in "Detroit Become Human".
The water temperature is very comfortable, but the room is definitely not surrounded by water vapor like ordinary bathhouses, and the view is very clear.
Heating relies on separated floor heating pipes, rather than directly filling swimming pools and bathtubs with boiling water. The difference between the two is roughly the same as the difference between the principles of boiling water reactors and pressurized water reactors in nuclear power plants.
In a pressurized water reactor, it is not easy to see steam swirling in a heat exchange environment. The price is an additional loss of heat exchange efficiency. Only people who are not short of money do this.
The aristocratic style can be seen in the details.
Cheryshev and Dimitri soon lost their clear free will. While enjoying the favor of the girls Gu Kun invited to the pool party, they entered a state of humbly listening to others' bragging.
As for the old witches who are in charge of finance and gouging up prices in the factory that they hate, they have been collectively blocked because they cannot participate in such occasions.
"Gu, to be honest, do you really think that if you buy an aircraft carrier and open a museum, you can actually make money from the tourism industry? Please give me a reason, and I will show off with you. I actually don't care, but I need to be in a public place run by a factory.
, convince everyone to believe.
I have asked people to evaluate what you said before, but they have not found a similar business model, similar cost expenditures, and a precedent that can be profitable in the end. If you do this, it will be difficult for me to convince the public." Dimitri was very happy.
When you are in a mood, ask sincerely.
"Then what was the final result of the historical case you asked someone to review?" Gu Kun asked casually as he moved his hands up and down as the Romans did.
Dimitri: "I have seen this type of investment before, using decommissioned junk from other countries. The input-output project ratio is similar to your plan, but in the end it will lose at least 30 to 40%. The cost of building a museum from a scrap aircraft carrier is too high.
, the stimulation of tourism is a little weak."
Gu Kun smiled: "The gap is not very big. You should understand that the cultural tourism industry, the initial attraction to attract tourists, is basically a business without capital. What really costs money is the subsequent daily entertainment expenses.
Therefore, when it comes to how to attract tourists, this is a matter of diminishing marginal costs. As long as you have a way to implant your propaganda into the hearts of people around the world, those fixed material costs can be diluted.
Therefore, the key to profitability here is not how high the fixed costs are, but how widely your media promotion methods can spread your gimmick. Currently, there is no aircraft carrier theme park or aircraft carrier museum in East and Southeast Asia.
, I grabbed the first place. With the national pride of Chinese tourists and the increasing spending power of Chinese tourists year by year, it is not impossible to attract millions of outbound tourists."
When Gu Kun said this, both Cheryshev and Dimitri felt that his principle was correct, but they couldn't figure out how to improve Gu Kun's so-called "media gimmick reach rate" and why others couldn't do it well in the past.
Cheryshev observed his words and asked this question for his old friend.
"A very good question." Gu Kun pointedly said, "I don't know what you two know about the new product 'Internet' that has gradually become public in Oceania since the end of last year? Have you heard of that thing?
What?"
"No... never heard of it."
"That's okay, I'll give you a general introduction."
With that said, Gu Kun gave a general introduction to what the Internet is. I won't go into details about the specific process. Anyway, they are all science and literacy materials.
Dimitri raised his hand to stop: "No matter how much you say, I can't digest it. How much impact will the Internet have on media efficiency?"
Gu Kun waved his hands vertically and horizontally and said categorically: "It's very simple, just think about it. The emergence of any new media will increase the existing information transmission. At the same time, it will also intensify the content."
And the Matthew effect of "the stronger the sensory product, the stronger".
In the era before newspapers, every impromptu poem written by a second-rate literati in an ancient brothel could be sung and praised by local geisha. However, after the mass publishing industry, only famous writers could survive. Before the audio-visual publishing industry,
Those second-rate singers and bands also have a way to survive. With the advent of the audio and video publishing industry, the living space of these people has been squeezed.
The Internet is just an upgrade of this centralized trend. For any service provider that provides beauty and audio-visual sensory enjoyment, in the previous era, the first place did 5% better than the second place. He may be better than the second place.
Earn twice as much money with more fame.
After entering the Internet era, I dare say that the general trend is that even if the first place does 5% better than the second place, through the characteristics of marginal communication cost approaching zero, it can earn five times the second place and ten times the second place.
times the money.
We can also extrapolate from this. In the era before the Internet, the number one in the industry might only be willing to pay 50% more cost in order to achieve 5% better performance than the number two, because he did just a little bit better and brought in
The benefit is only double, and he will lose money no matter how much he spends.
But, what about entering the Internet era? Maybe the first place is willing to pay double or triple the cost in order to be 5% better than the second place, because his income will be five times or ten times more than the second place.
Although I am not engaged in the technology industry, I can understand the impact of the technology industry on all walks of life. In the next few years, whoever is willing to compete for the first capital will win. The second place will only have soup.
, those who come in third or below should die——
You may not have heard of the Internet, but you should have heard of a Middle Eastern city-state called Dubai. Their rulers agree with me on this point. If you don’t believe me, you can learn about their tourism industry.
ideas.
So, you idiots who just use historical cases to calculate my financial profit and loss are nothing but a frog in the well. If we hadn’t had a relationship with each other, I wouldn’t have bothered to tell you about these commercial facts today. In fact, I don’t care where I buy the boat at all, I just don’t want to spend more money.
It's just a trick to sell a favor to Mr. Cheryshev, who is very cooperative. If you insist on forcing me to go through the trouble of exchanging money orders and increasing financial costs, I won't come to you."
"The third place should die? This is impossible, you are talking nonsense!" Dimitri subconsciously felt a sense of crisis.
Gu Kun smiled easily: "Don't be nervous. Those who run shipyards will not die in third place, because you are engaged in industry. I am talking about companies that provide audio-visual and sensory products. Don't think that tourism is industry.
In the final analysis, what the tourism industry provides is beauty. Food and beverages and accommodation are just incidental. Beauty is the core competitiveness.
The production of beauty is just like literature, painting, music, games... In the new media era, once created, it can be copied and disseminated at zero marginal cost. Since there is no copy cost, everyone only needs the best.
Is there any problem with three people dying?"
This kind of relaxing picture of the future really challenges the hearts of the elderly.
After feeling ups and downs, Dimitri dared to continue asking for advice: "Then where is the Dubai you mentioned just now?"
"It is a city-state in the United Arab Emirates. The princes and chiefs there have recently been planning how to show off their wealth to attract wealthy people to visit, but everything is still in the preliminary planning stage."
"Pfft -" a group of old men from Blackland almost spit the red wine from their mouths into the swimming pool, they said in unison, "Aren't they just the oil tycoons in the Middle East! They are not called showing off their wealth, they are really rich. There is no such example.
Okay, you're persuasive, why do you imitate others in showing off their wealth to attract attention?"
"Really rich? Haha, if you want to say that the Abu Dhabi tribe is really rich, that's it. Dubai is just showing off its wealth. How many barrels of broken oil can they have? The key to their bet on the future is not that they make money from oil.
How much money, but to make the world believe that they have made a lot of money from oil. It is because of people like you who do not judge that their scheme can succeed."
"Then why do you copy?"
"That's my business secret. I just need to tell you that my business model can be explained. You can figure it out for yourself. If I come again next time, at least give me another 5% on this price.
Discount, otherwise you won’t even invite me. I will also have to pay the financial cost.”
