One day in mid-May, the Dyba Montgomery Hotel.

Recently, the high-spirited big boss of the trip, Yang, came to Diba again. He was asked by investors to report on the company's recent progress, and he thought that he had achieved remarkable results, and he seemed very confident.

"Mr. Iprahim, congratulations on the increase in the value of your investment, your decision to invest in us in the first place is indeed correct. As soon as the two sides met, Yang was full of spring breeze, his expression was smiling, and he was peaceful.

"The performance of performance growth and market share is really good. Although Ipraxin doesn't care about these and is dissatisfied with someone Yang, it is not suitable to slap his face in person, so he can only recognize the other party's achievements first.

It's like when a teacher asks parents to criticize a student, they have to give face to the child a little bit, and then a "but", and even complain at length.

It's a pity that Yang didn't have the slightest awareness of this, and continued to gush: "Not only is the market share and performance, but one or two new venture capitalists have recently contacted me, and the valuation given is several percent higher than when you invested money in me a few months ago——

That's the equivalent of nearly half of your money in just three months. In today's Internet winter, it's extremely rare to see a project that allows your money to increase in value so quickly. ”

Iprasin finally couldn't help it, was silent for a few seconds and didn't answer, just poured two glasses of wine, and used this cold time difference to let the other party calm and calm down, and then interrupted without giving face:

"Yang, you're not going to get dazed, are you? What do I want is the appreciation of tens of millions of dollars? What if the investment of more than 30 million dollars has become a valuation of 50 million dollars?

You know in your heart that what I want is to use your hands to knock out the compulsion and dignity of the Lanfang tourism market! Let the upper class people all over the world know that Lanfang is a lowly city where as long as you are willing to shop for a certain amount of money, you can get free accommodation fees and free transportation fees!

How have you done this? Have you made any progress? During the May Day holiday, I didn't even see a single zero-fee group or even a discount group! I sent reporters and media friends to Lan Fang to keep an eye on the dark corners and dig up black materials, but they found nothing! I wanted to write a black manuscript that promoted Lan Fang as a tourist destination for the untouchables, but they lacked basic material!

A few words brought Yang back to reality: Forget your roots, right? What was the purpose of Uncle Yiplasin's initial investment in you? Do you really think you care about your market share and valuation appreciation of tens of millions of dollars? The cash flow swallowed by your luxury hoarding in the early stage is more than several times the market value appreciation money!

The main purpose of the people is to stink Lan Fang!

Although, the money from hoarding luxury goods cannot be regarded as a "loss", because the finished goods are still in their hands, and sooner or later they can sell out, which must be worth maintaining and earning.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you can't really sell it out on the Lan side, it's nothing more than a string of goods, and if you move it to some high-end shopping malls on Diba's side, you can also sell it - Diba people themselves take the high-end luxury tourism route, and they are the same as the city of the world's shopping paradise.

At most, it makes Iprahim a little unwilling in his heart - every top tourist city set up by local tyrants has a luxury group camp with the deepest cooperation with their own city. For example, the LVMH group where the donkey brand belongs, that is, all the brands under the name of Bernard's treacherous and cunning guy, give the most discounts to Monegasques. There are also independent brands like Hermès, as well as Chanel, which also tend to give Monegasques the most deals.

After all, Monaco is next to France, and it also depends on French protection, and there are inextricable French capital operation relationships behind it, which can ensure that most of the luxury interests of Monagasques are eventually transferred back to France as protection money.

In the same way, whether it is Lanfang or Diba, other local tyrants and luxury cities that are slightly worse than these two cities also have their own camps of influence with Rupert's Richemont Group, François Pinault's Kering Group, etc. Generally, in a certain tycoon city-state, you can buy the world's lowest price for a certain faction's luxury goods.

Specific to Diba people, in fact, their luxury strategic cooperation layout in the past seven or eight years is mainly to win over Richemont Group, and Richemont's various brands are easy to buy the lowest price in the world in Diba. Therefore, Dibba people also tend to promote Richemont goods all year round.

If in the near future, those down-line stores laid out by Yang's convenient travel network will not be able to sell out the Gucci, Armani, Cartier and other goods in Lanfangtun, and they will sell them at Diba, although it is not impossible, but it will also encroach on the market share of some Diba's own strategic cooperation groups.

It is equivalent to dividing the market share of Lichemont goods that was originally going to be sold to Lanfang Goods, which is equivalent to iprazine being Gu Kun's offline sales in the field of luxury industry, which makes Ibrasine disgusting to think about it.

But in any case, in order to lower the tourism image of the Lanfang people, he was forced to splash dirty water, and he could tolerate these small inconveniences and small losses.

The only thing that I can't bear is that Yang has not advanced the main quest for a long time.

Why are you so slow to work with Gu Kun head-on, when are you going to do it? Why are you going to become a Shilipo Sword God in the novice village and then do the main line?

Yang had to accept the character of "taking people's money and using it as a night pot to pour sewage on the enemy", and reluctantly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to push a free group during the May Day peak season." It's really good business in the golden season, and the full price can ensure that the passenger flow is at full capacity, and I don't want to make money without making money......"

Iprasin: "What I want is your few dollars! Forget it, the past is gone, and the time lost is irreparable." But from now on, I want you to do it immediately! It doesn't matter if you lose money, the key is to make Gu Kun stink as soon as possible! Make the Lanfang tourism market cheap! If you procrastinate again, I will be unkind to you!"

Yang clenched his teeth, but he could only endure this humiliation and reprimand.

Who asked him to force his partner Shen Beipeng away in order to succeed (although Shen Beipeng saw through the wolf ambitions of the Diba people and didn't want to work with the Diba people and be used by them, so he took the initiative to go)

As soon as Shen Beipeng left, Diba's shareholding ratio had already exceeded 50%, and he, the CEO, had no ability to resist the decisions of major shareholders. Knowing that some things are not the best solution for the company in the long run, they can only cater to major shareholders.

"I'll arrange it!

......

After being trained by the Diba people, the follow-up low-cost group and zero-fee group spread out at a rapid rate.

Since about mid-May, the information on Lanfang tour groups that can be found on the domestic Internet in China, except for those released by traditional large companies such as China Travel Service, the rest have almost been occupied by cheap groups and free tours.

As long as you are a person who has been an Alipay user before, they can help you apply for a visa conveniently and then make a smooth trip.

Fortunately, Ma Feng made an early warning in advance, and in mid-April, it was announced that "anyone who becomes an Alipay user after May 1 will not be able to enjoy the visa financial exemption if he applies for a free group", which blocked many people who temporarily wanted to apply for Alipay registration and pay monthly fees in order to apply for a free group after May 1.

However, just the many black accounts that were suddenly registered before May 1, or various other loopholes left by lax supervision, are enough to organize hundreds of thousands of tourists.

Many of the luxury goods that the Diba people had previously hoarded in Lanfang that were dumped at forced shopping points to tour groups were also sold with waves of forced shopping groups.

The accounts were chaotic for a while, and after the front-line management deceived the upper and lower levels to make money, their greed swelled, and they did not forget to pick up the company's wool, and even moved to find their own channels and sell fake goods in the two accounts.

It seems that if it is not regulated, the reputation of the Lanfang tourism market will be in jeopardy.

At the end of May, some domestic media and newspapers, especially the Internet platforms that responded more quickly, began to have negative news such as breaking news posts and news complaining about the "decline in the quality of luxury goods on sale in Lanfang, and the suspected adulteration of a certain proportion of fake goods".

Ma Feng and Ding Sanshi, who were invested by Gu Kun, were still a little nervous, Ding Sanshi secretly showed favor and took the initiative to ask Gu Kun if he wanted to delete the post and ban the speech, and trace the source - Ding Sanshi was also scared by Gu Kun two years ago, and now he no longer dares to be arrogant.

"Are they telling the truth? If it's the truth, let them say it, if we have it, we will be encouraged if we don't change it, how can we not let people speak!" Who knew that Gu Kun's attitude was so righteous and strict this time, but Ding Sanshi, who wanted to pat himself on the back, was a little caught off guard.

Ding Sanshi: "Yes, yes, I understand, I'll go check some real evidence, and don't move them for the time being." ”

Gu Kun: "Yes, the evidence is to be found, if the evidence they say is conclusive, we will definitely organize special rectification on the Lan side." ”

If you want to make it perish, make it mad. If you don't give some sweetness and don't let them be arrogant, how can you fully expose your feet.

Gu Kun didn't want to frame a false accusation, he wanted the other party to make a mistake himself, if he didn't make a mistake, Gu Kun would add another fire.

......

A few days later, the headquarters of the travel network.

CEO Yang received some resistance messages from the backbone of the front-line market development business:

"Boss! Can we increase our promotional efforts? Recently, there seem to be peers who are fighting a price war with us! It should be to see that our market share has skyrocketed by lowering group fares, and we are jealous of our market share! How can we be frightened by those newly established wild roads fighting price wars?"

"What? There are still people who have followed our business model?" Yang was also very surprised when he heard it for the first time. But then I thought about it, and they started organizing and planning this matter around February and March.

The so-called "business model innovation" has no scientific and technological threshold, and if you have money and are willing to burn money, you can follow the trend, so it is normal for opponents to appear in three months.

Yang couldn't help but think: "I didn't expect Gu Kun to be so cowardly, he is really a person who does things according to the law, and he doesn't dare to fight radically at all." Hehe, the Internet is a fast-paced place, and everything here is a new thing with no legal basis when it was first born! You actually want to follow the rhythm of civilized people step by step, you deserve to die!

Since there are peers who are robbing business, this matter will become more and more lawless and unaccountable in the future, Gu Kun can't break with the entire travel agency industry in Huaxia, right? Since some people dare to rob it, let's go more radical and take bigger steps!"
