Chapter 313: The Enemy of an Enemy Is a Friend
Boss Shen and Yang Han traitors were fighting at the headquarters of their own company in Hujiang at the same time.
7,000 kilometers away in the Middle East, the Montgomery Hotel in the city-state of Diba, Chief Iprahim is also having a very hard time and is facing high pressure from investors.
"Iprasin, you've let me down so much. I gave you the opportunity to make a bet and let you observe for three more months, but what did you do?
You said that in September and October last year, the pull of Lanfang's high-end tourism and follow-up related industries was not affected by the black swan event in Oceania in September, and that was because Gu Kun was lucky and just happened to rent out a large number of high-end expensive orders represented by the Burj Al Arab before the black swan.
But what about the performance of the Christmas season in December? Later, in January, when European and American guests had no travel holidays in the off-season? What is the growth curve of your high-end tourism business? What is Gu Kun's report card?
If you want me to say, according to the final accounts of 1.5 billion US dollars, Dibata can officially start construction in a few days. Anyway, the New Year is over, and it's just time to go all out for construction. As for 'Palm Jumeirah', I would like to officially announce to you that the project has been put on hold indefinitely, and you should not try to let the Palm be built in parallel with Dibata.
I have to see the real effect of the Dibata project on Diba's tourism industry in the future, and then I will unfreeze the money on the Palm Jumeirah! Also, I know you're making a small move, you want to invite Beckham and the like, and pre-sell the first batch of Palm Island properties, and you should stop this idea as soon as possible! I don't know if there will be this island in the future, we can't afford to lose this person!"
Mahathir, the big financier of the Abu Dhabi consortium, sprayed iprazine so that he didn't give face.
Who made Iprasin keep saying that Gu Kun would not be arrogant for a few days in the fourth quarter of last year, and that he would face the same black swan stamina as Diba when the time came.
But the result?
Gu Kun relied on the relaxation of visas to China and the relatively shallow strategic cooperation with Japanese and South Korean guests, but also not to be underestimated, to stabilize the growth momentum of the Lanfang tourism market.
As for the last mention of Mahathir's words, "Iprahim fooled Beckham to come to Palm Jumeirah to buy a house", in fact, Gu Kun is also doing similar things in Lanfang.
Gu Kun is also planning a real estate project similar to Palm Island in the Galloping Horse Atoll in Lanfang, and is about to start pre-sale, so it can only be said that the business plans of the two are slightly the same. It's just that the top celebrities in the entertainment industry, Gu Kun obviously has more than Iprasin, not to mention the top superstars in the sports world.
The reason why Iprahim seems to be very promising to pull Beckham like the original history is just because Beckham is also a cloth dog, so he can't even get a visa to Lanfang - Gu Kun doesn't allow Brittany nationals to buy a house on Palm Bullma. So he can secretly negotiate to sell to Jordan and Ronaldo, but not to Beckham.
In other words, ipramine has a high probability of pulling Beckham because Beckham was locked out by Gu Kun - Ibrasin only deserves to pick up the garbage that Gu Kun dislikes.
Dibba and Abu Dhabi used to be colonies of Bugou, and after driving away the colonizers, the way of life is still so kneeling and licking the legacy of the colonizers, it can only be said that even if these goods are rich and have a high quality of material life, they are just kneeling species.
At this moment, Iprahim was accused by investors, and he could only slander "other people's children": "Mr. Mahathir! I can't be blamed for this! Gu Kun doesn't play cards according to the routine." The performance of his tourism-related industries continued to grow in December and January, and he relied on relaxing the difficulty of visas for the Lan side! This kind of money is not profitable! In essence, it is a forced position to quench a country's thirst and hurt it.
The reason why I don't do this is for the sake of our long-term interests! You can't pursue short-term interests like those short-sighted investors who have invested for six or seven years and just want to cash out! What we are doing is a 100-year plan! It is a retreat after the motherland's oil is dug up, and we must look at the long term!
Iprasin's rhetoric, if it is used to deceive laymen, does have some truth.
Because those countries and cities that take the positioning of the world's most high-end and luxury tourism industry are indeed in need of "visa thresholds" to upgrade their grades. To put it bluntly, "excluding how many people from the lower classes are not qualified to come to the country" can sometimes become a selling point in itself to attract the upper class.
For example, if you want to buy a house in Oceania or Canada, "this neighborhood has no direct subway and no bus lines", but it can be a selling point for rising housing prices. Because the absence of public transport means that the poorest people who do not have their own cars cannot come to this place conveniently.
It may be cruel to say that, but that's the way the world is.
It's not that Gu Kun wants this, and it's not that he wants it to be like this.
But when you enter this industry and enter this circle, if you want to make this money, you have to follow the laws of nature. No one in the Chinese will follow, and there will be foreigners who will follow, and then make money from those who have this part of the Chinese who need it.
The natural law of the luxury industry is poverty.
It's a pity that if Ipraxin usually says that Gu Kun's move to relax his visa is "a detrimental drink to quench his thirst", Mahathir may still believe it, but this time it is obviously too far-fetched.
Mahathir directly retorted: "You just talk nonsense! Gu Kun relaxed the conditions for financial visas, what is there to quench his thirst? He doesn't call this relaxation, this is called 'flexible adjustment of visa methods'."
The group of tourists he attracts is not a nouveau riche or a lowly person, but a positive responder to the new Internet economy and an attempt to integrate the Internet and financial attributes. What do you have to look down on these people?
Of course, you don't need to relax the Chinese people, you can attract these flexible and avant-garde people from other developed countries, the key is that you can do it?"
Iprahim was dumbfounded by the question.
Indeed, it is indeed a bargain to let nouveau riche such as Internet café owners come to Diba for tourism, so that rich but unqualified self-employed people are also qualified to come.
However, if you are a proponent of the emerging Internet avant-garde gameplay, the effect is different. Just like although the people who speculated in Bitcoin in later generations were also some nouveau riche and speculators, the coin speculation dog was still better able to bluff the layman than the oil boss and the coal boss.
And Gu Kun's superficial work is very good, he does not only give preferential treatment and relaxation to Alipay users, he also relaxes the users of similar products in other countries at the same time, so that all early users in the quasi-financial products of Internet technology companies can be exempted from financial review when they go to Lanfang.
This will not show Gu Kun's tendencies, and it will not lower Lan Fang's grade. After all, PayPal users in Peter Thiel in Silicon Valley can also come to Lanfang visa-free like Amex credit card users.
It's just that people in Oceania rarely travel abroad this year, and PayPal users are too lazy to go to other countries, let alone Lanfang. Lan Fang just made a gesture in vain and showed generosity out of thin air.
All in all, Mahathir and Iprahim had a bloody debate, and in the end Ibrahim had to admit it, and he was completely put on the hook, cutting the budget of the budget and cutting the project of the project. Because tourism is not growing as well as "other people's children", Dibata was finally forced to start construction according to a budget of only $1.5 billion.
On the day of the start of construction, Iprahim smoked several bags of hookah behind closed doors, and the whole person was confused and depressed.
Of course, he has not yet reached the point of desperation, after all, how high Gu Kun's Lanfang Tower will be is still kept secret, even if he is stuck in the budget, Dibata is not necessarily unable to compete for the first place in the world, but in case something happens in the future, because the foundation has not been laid, there is no potential for heightening.
Therefore, even from God's point of view, it will take two or three years to make this Iprahim desperate to the point of lovelessness. He has at least two or three years left to live.
……
After a frustrating toss, Ibrahim was in no mood to see anyone for at least a few days after the door was closed.
Even if you see someone, you can only watch Ribatta lay the foundation according to a plan that has no potential for upgrading, so what else can be seen?
After more than a week, about mid-February, finally one day, his secretary came to tell him that a foreign guest wanted to make an appointment to see him.
"Who, what industry?" Iprasin asked, still in a bad mood.
"It's a Chinese, a tourism company, an Internet company. "The female secretary did a lot of homework.
"Chinese, let him go! The Chinese are still engaged in Internet tourism, isn't that Gu Kun's lackey! What are you putting that kind of garbage in there? You don't need to report it in the future!" Ipraxin was instantly burst like a firecracker, and all the depression was vented to this gap.
"It's not...... They didn't come, they just wanted to make an appointment, I know, I'm going to refuse. The female secretary was also startled, for fear of provoking the boss, so she immediately resigned and withdrew.
I don't know how much torture and hard pestering this female secretary and the people who negotiated with him have endured, but who knows that that night, the female secretary actually had the courage to report again - of course, it is not a special report, if it is a special report, forgive the female secretary does not have the courage to do so.
She took the opportunity to say something else, and after she finished talking about business, she added: "Boss, the Chinese who told you this morning said that he is Gu Kun's enemy, and he can help you find a way to deal with Gu Kun's disgusting Gu Kun." ”
The last half of the female secretary's sentence was very fast, lest she would be killed by the boss if she didn't have a chance to finish speaking.
Ibrasin's expression changed quickly, and he was about to explode in anger when he heard the end, so he braked hard.
"Hehe?!It's a bit interesting, I thought Gu Kun was already a man of his word in the tourism and Internet circles of the Chinese-speaking world. Okay, then give it a chance - tell me what the man did and what he came for. ”
