Gu Kun is very willing to spend money to show off the news of "declaring the complete destruction of the Diba people".

The magnitude of his pen really amazed those acquaintances who had already known his ability to spend money before.

With the end of the 2006 New Year, a new series of operations to show off wealth began to be laid out. In March and April, Gu Kun spent money like water, which improved the overall image of Lanfang a lot.

It's just that March and April are the off-seasons for Chinese tourists, so the domestic response is a little slower.

It wasn't until another May Day Golden Week came that everyone's eyes lit up again.

……

One day at the end of April, on a flight from Beijing to the Lanfang Islands, the first class cabin was full of passengers in suits and leather shoes, who looked like they were business-style passengers.

Yu Houde is also rare to wear a thin windbreaker and tie, which is not at all like the image that he should have as an Internet entrepreneur in the past - Internet people have been used to polo shirts and jeans over the years.

He went to Lanfang this time, not purely for tourism and relaxation, but more to have the opportunity to meet Gu Kun and talk about his own career.

Yu Houde is exactly three and a half years ago, when Gu Kun wanted to destroy the Internet travel platform that invented the Internet zero-fee group, low-cost shopping group and other models, and Yang's convenient travel network, he released it as a bait to lure the other party to cross the line and then kill it with heavy hands, and throw it away directly after using it.

Three and a half years have passed, and Yang Mou, who has lowered the Chinese people's compulsion, has disappeared into the garbage heap of history, and has been crushed into powder by the rolling wheels of historical progress. The Internet winter was almost over from the end of 2004 to the beginning of 05.

Gu Kun still treats the abandoned children who give up after using them, so although Yu Houde's "Donkey Journey Network" was wiped out, it was liquidated and dissolved normally at that time, and Yu Houde himself still recovered the capital he invested at the beginning, and he also earned several times-

The situation is roughly similar to Ma Feng's 96 years of engaging in the Yellow Pages of China, and then failing to sell the equity and withdraw, and after trimming and combing, he can use the recovered money to build Ahri Baba again.

Yu Houde is the same, after getting back millions of nearly 10 million yuan, he calmed down for nearly three years, studied and observed there, occasionally went to other Internet companies to learn from experience, and then in 2005, after seeing the recovery of the industry, he started his business again.

The direction of entrepreneurship is still an Internet travel company, since the original signboard is dead and smelly, then change it, from "Donkey Journey" to "Niutu Network".

Because at the beginning, there were millions of yuan of its own funds on hand, which made Yu Houde no longer need angel round of venture capital at the beginning of the second venture, and he could survive the company's initial development period of more than a year by throwing 5 million of his own funds, so as not to be exchanged for a considerable proportion of shares with a small amount of money when the company's initial valuation was still relatively low.

And because Yu Houde started relatively quickly, other potential peers were frightened by Gu Kun's ruthless extermination during the depression a few years ago, and they didn't dare to re-enter the market at the beginning of 05, and most of the competitors dragged on until the end of 05, or even the beginning of 06. In addition, the original oldest "Convenient Travel Network", which was established in 99, has been wiped out by Gu Kun, so Yu Houde was able to easily occupy the first place when he set off on this track for the second time.

Under Gu Kun's high-pressure stick, this time he is ready to be a good man, no longer engage in low-fee groups and zero-fee groups, nor engage in brushing single traffic, just hug Gu Kun's thighs, and focus on those dignified boutique tours that require consumers to give real money.

Even if other travel agencies steal the share of Niutu.com in the foreign travel market because they are talking about cheap shopping groups in the Korean group and the Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand group, Yu Houde doesn't care, because he knows that as long as any Internet travel company does the cheap business of cheap shopping groups, then that Internet company will definitely be excluded from the market of "Chinese travel to Lanzhou".

With Gu Kun's reverse scales, he will not allow that kind of slut company to get involved in the Lanfang market, and he will definitely do everything possible to kill and show his authority.

And Yu Houde went to Lanfang this time to further investigate the recent situation of the Lanfang tourism market, and by the way, make some programmatic adjustments, and then show Gu Ye, maybe there is a chance to pull some A round investment with Gu Ye.

I believe that Ma Feng and Ma Ye helped to coordinate in the middle three years ago, and this time he has reformed himself and developed slowly, and he will not go through the bad thing of brushing black orders to reduce his qualifications, Gu Ye should be optimistic about himself.

Thinking like this, Yu Houde didn't even notice that a guest was also sitting down in the seat next to him. Yu Houde glanced at it, and his intuition told him that this person also had the temperament of an Internet practitioner, and it seemed that he had a relationship with each other at some drinking parties or forums in the circle.

In line with the idea of multiple friends and multiple paths, he nodded to each other in a friendly manner, and took the initiative to talk to each other for a few words, wanting to exchange business cards.

Who knows, after only chatting a few words, the other party recognized him first, and there was no need to exchange business cards.

"This is not a donkey journey, oh no, Mr. Yu of Niu Tu? I am fortunate to meet you here again. ”

Yu Houde was a little blinded: "I'm sorry, I ......"

The other party also knew that he didn't remember many people, so he hurriedly went down the steps: "Gou Dong's, Liu Dong, who does e-commerce, is similar to Dengdang.com, mainly selling books and 3C electronic products." ”

Yu Houde hurriedly shook hands: "Oh, Brother Liu, I remembered." Why, your company is also idle, go to Lanfang for annual leave. ”

Liu Dong: "Vacation is one thing, but also to see the world and investigate some industry frontiers related to e-commerce. ”

Yu Houdeqi said: "You do e-commerce, what is there to investigate? Lan Fang is famous for rejecting e-commerce, all take the offline boutique route, in terms of e-commerce, Gu Ye is completely 'against the trend of history', on the contrary, the domestic momentum is rapid. You say that I am a tourist, so I just go to Lanfang. ”

Liu Dong shook his head: "So by the way, you know, now the strongest e-commerce is Taobao, which is already in full swing, but there are also many things on Taobao that cannot be bought. We say every day that we want to overtake in corners and change lanes to overtake, but we have to do differentiated analysis and do things that Taobao can't do. ”

When Yu Houde heard this, his heart was slightly furious, and he didn't dare to ask again, he was afraid that if he asked again, the other party would say something rebellious such as "selling fake Gu Kun's luxury goods on the Internet", which would be inconvenient for him.

Yu Houde had already sensed Gu Kun's strength, so he didn't want to end up like Yang Han back then.

There are some things that you tell Gu Kun after you hear them, but it seems that you are telling right and wrong, framing other entrepreneurs, and you have a bad reputation in the Internet circle.

After hearing it, don't tell Gu Kun, in case Gu Kun knows in advance in the future, it won't look good on his face, so it's better to divert the topic from the beginning, Gu didn't hear it.

……

After a four-hour flight, the flight landed at Lanfang International Airport from the capital.

Yu Houde and Liu Dong talked nonsense without a ride, and walked out of the terminal together, all the conversations were unnutritious.

Because of the approaching May Day holiday, Lanfang's airport and other tourist facilities have become congested, even if the infrastructure here is expanding frantically every year, it still can't withstand the influx of more and more wealthy Chinese guests, which skyrockets by several percent every year.

Yu Houde is engaged in tourism, and he is sensitive to these data, but he visually inspected it along the way, and he was quite emotional: "I remember that the No. 2 runway has only been put into commercial use for more than a year, and it is actually full again." One runway operates at Heathrow Airport's overload, with 300 departures per day, and both runways add up to 600 flights.

Half of the round-trip, even if it is a 150-seat medium-sized aircraft, it is 50,000 tourists entering the airport a day, and 18 million people a year, which is too exaggerated. However, it is Golden Week, and maybe only during Golden Week will there be 50,000 people at the airport every day, and it is estimated that only two-thirds of the ordinary peak season is Golden Week, such as summer vacation. In the off-season, it's good to have a third of Golden Week.

But even so, seven or eight million air arrivals a year are still indispensable. It is no wonder that the No. 2 runway of Lanfang International Airport has been repaired and the No. 3 has been repaired, as has the terminal. It is estimated that the airport construction team here has not stopped work for ten consecutive years. ”

When walking out of the terminal, because there are too many tourists and the pressure of pick-up and drop-off traffic is too great, the loudspeaker of the radio is always there to shout in Chinese and Japanese in turn, encouraging everyone to use the rail transit, or encouraging passengers who insist on taking a taxi to allow carpooling to the city, and also saying that the government has come up with subsidies to give discounts to passengers who are willing to carpool.

This kind of discount is not a matter of compulsion, but purely to thank tourists for their high quality, willingness to occupy less public resources, and reduce congestion.

Liu Dong is not engaged in tourism, he has not been here for several years, and after listening to the radio, he was still a little surprised: "Isn't the land in Lanfang not so tight, and the subway is actually being built?

Yu Houde: "It was repaired last year, who let the airport and port expand many times, and there are too many people." But it's just a line, from the airport to the city, and then north to the port. However, there is no shortage of land in Lanfang, so it is a subway, but it is actually an elevated light rail, and it is a viaduct on the ground. The cost of a viaduct is at least two-thirds cheaper than that of a tunnel of the same mileage. ”

But no matter how well the subway is built, decent people like them won't sit on it. It's just that when I went out from the airport, I passed by the subway station and took a look at the car of the Lanfang subway from a distance. The car looks luxurious and decent, the silence effect seems to be first-class, and there is no noise when driving.

After passing by the subway gate of the airport, they came to the taxi queue for a taxi, but here they were immediately shocked by the scene.

"Damn! Are all Lanfang's taxis Mercedes-Benz starting? At worst, they have all been upgraded to Mercedes-Benz? and there are expensive ones that can take Porsche?" Liu Dong was stupid when he saw it.

Of course, he has never sat in this kind of luxury car, but the impact of seeing these luxury cars become the city's public transportation infrastructure is still very amazing.

Yu Houde was also dumbfounded, poked his fellow travelers, and pointed to the police car in front of him to maintain order: "Lanfang's police cars have been replaced with Lamborghini, not to mention that the black and white Lanbo is quite good-looking." ”
