Chapter 92: The Gap Between Two Worlds
What Gu Kun said was a wise saying.
Needless to say, as long as later generations of Chinese people ask themselves: how many Xiaobai really think that Dubai is a tyrant city-state.
That shows how correct this business logic Gu Kun has seen through.
In fact, the oil reserves of the entire UAE are not as good as those of Kuwait, and the vast majority of them are Abu Dhabi tribes. How much oil can the Dubai tribe have? Even if there is historically, by the 90s and even the beginning of the 21st century, it has been almost dug up.
If there is no subsequent media operation and speculation.
Dubai's fate is probably the same as that of the silver capital of Potosí, like the magical realist mining cities in Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude", which scattered with the wind and perished.
It's not even as good as Potosi - Potosi was the largest city in the Western Hemisphere for more than 200 years, beating New York, Boston, and New Orleans, but how many people on earth now know the name Potosi?
Not to mention Potosí, even the name of Bolivia, the country where Potosí is located, is estimated to be half of the Chinese women who have never heard of it.
But Potosi was the silver capital of the earth back then, what are you in Dubai? Have you ever been the "oil capital of the earth"? Not qualified, if you count Abu Dhabi, you can't even rank among the top ten oil cities in the world.
Dubai's success is not in being really rich, but in pretending to be rich and showing off wealth.
The Internet, allowing showing off wealth, itself can become a way to make money.
Therefore, in Huaxia, as big as Wang Xcong, as small as those UP masters on station B who show off their broad and small personalities, and then show the money of female secretaries.
In foreign countries, from the cover models of the Hilton family and some so-called celebrities, to those who show off their wealth on YouTube who show off their guns and cars, and show off their cars with guns for fun.
The logic of their enrichment is the same. I show off my wealth and burn 10,000 yuan, and the traffic can bring me attention worth 230,000 yuan, so continue to burn.
The premise is that you have to be the first in the relevant field, because there are so many human beings who have this part of the hunting needs. If others see you showing off your wealth and burning money to make money, they will imitate you and form an arms race to burn money, then everyone's profits will fall, and the second place will definitely be lost.
After all, the Internet only allows the second place to drink soup and the third place to die.
To make this kind of business successful, the key is to form a deterrent, for example, if station B has such a money-burning UP master, he must at least deter other UP owners at station B, and can't make them covetous.
At least one message must be conveyed: none of you have any money from me, and if you can't burn mine, even if you burn it, you will lose both, and you will die first. When you are dying, you will also be in a state of great loss, and you will not get any benefit.
The reason why the second place is to survive, rather than die directly like the third place, is sometimes a kind of connivance technique of the first place: if there is no second place in this industry, then people who have not entered the industry may mistakenly think that this is not an industry where the second place is not good to live, and there will be a steady stream of laymen coming in to test the water, how annoying is that?
Leave a second place, and always hang it there like a flag hanging the corpse to show the public, so that the layman can see clearly: don't enter this line casually, look, the second place is alive like this. This is a zero-marginal cost Internet thinking industry, the market has matured, and the latecomer dies!
There can only be one successful case in Dubai, showing off its wealth to win the public's attention, and there can only be one.
Because showing off wealth Internet celebrities cannot coexist, no matter how big the net is, there can only be one human wealth show off capital covered by the net.
Therefore, the Burj Khalifa in later generations will be built a few hundred meters higher than the second tallest building in the world, in order to convey: don't expect to surpass me later than me, I will spend three times and five times more than the second tallest building in the world to smash this first tallest building!
Whoever dares to rob me, I will gamble his life to death!
The outcome depends on who has more determination to make a bloody effort and who can see it clearly before everyone has estimated the power of the Internet.
If Dubai is willing to pay twice or three times as much for a little better than second place.
Gu Kun was willing to pay five times.
Then, there is hope for him in the future. As for the oil fields that Lan Fang can discover in the future, it is actually not important.
The important thing is that the gimmick that that oil can attract can make people believe that Gu Kun's future "showing off his wealth" is "really rich".
The important thing is faith.
Even if all the oil of Lanfang is sold, as long as the confidence is exchanged, as long as Dubai is trampled to death to seize its Internet celebrity status as the world's No. 1 show-off city, two billion barrels of oil is nothing.
Cherishev and Dimitri have really been refreshed by Gu Kun's three views, and they feel that the generation difference between themselves and the outside world is not ordinary.
They were ashamed to choose to drink and have fun, digest Gu Kun's theory a little, and use it as the basis for collective decision-making after returning to convince the public.
"Gu, thank you for bringing us the business idea of the outside world. It's so disconnected from the outside world that our learning is. ”
"Don't worry about this business, I know you can buy anyone's, I'll clean up those guys who can't understand and still get in the way. ”
The two expressed their positions one after another.
"Then I'll wait for your good news, and I hope to continue to work together happily. After all, it's best to be able to do everything without bothering the two masters, and I don't like to change suppliers. Gu Kun firmly occupied a strong position and ended this negotiation of the demons.
Everyone hugged the woman they chose, went back to the room to rest, and enjoyed the moment of sharing the benefits.
......
"Aren't you doing that! How can you still be a virgin?"
In the room, after a prancing horse whip to ride the wind and waves, Gu Kun threw out 10,000 US dollars and couldn't help asking.
Midlova tugged at her bikini, spliced it a little, stuffed the money into her clothes, gritted her teeth and replied:
"I know who I am, and I have a first time in whatever I do. I've been in this hotel for two and a half years, and if the situation worsens, maybe sooner or later they will be the same.
In the past two years, I have seen too many high rollers, but unfortunately they are all greasy and fat uncles, and occasionally there is a young rich second generation, who looks overindulged and very empty. It's not a loss to meet you who are so strong and attractive to help me make my debut. ”
Gu Kun also asked casually, his essence is still relatively national, and he has never had sympathy and pity for Yanma, not to mention that it was a transaction in advance, but there was a slight misunderstanding.
He got up and poured himself a glass of wine, sat back on the bed, and continued to be comfortable in his hands: "You did very well today, and when you were at the pool party, you gave me a long face." To be honest, the charming courtesan style at that time really deceived me. ”
Midrova flickered her fawn-like eyelashes and remembered a question: "How old are you?"
"18 years old. ”
"So young! Then I kind of earned it. Midlova suddenly became happy, and kissed a few more times for free, "I'm 20 years old, I didn't expect to find someone younger than me, it's not a loss." You are strong, thank you for giving me a perfect memory. ”
When Midlova said this, she hesitated a little, and reluctantly asked, "Will you come back in the future?"
She is not distracted, her psychological preparation today is a transaction.
It's just that I fell in love for a long time, and I was purely impressed by Gu Kun's performance, so I temporarily wanted to eat Gu Kun's body a few more times.
"Maybe, there are still a lot of good things here that attract me, maybe next year, maybe later, I will come sooner or later. Gu Kun hadn't completely trusted the other party, so he didn't say it too carefully.
Midlova smiled: "Then how about I do business with you alone within a year? Do you want this surprise? Anyway, I haven't been short of money to that extent, even without you, I can survive for another year or two." ”
"It's okay, then I also promise that as long as you come to Kherson and Nikolaev in the future, you will only take care of your business. This also saves me from having to go back and forth every time I have a party with a client. ”
There are no impermeable walls in the world, and he believes that if Midlova does let go, her colleagues will definitely know. Therefore, as long as the other party's reputation is good and his loyalty has been tested, he is not unable to consider giving the other party a long-term job.
Like a secretary or something.
If the other party let go of the broken jar after the first attempt, then Gu Kun should be played, and it doesn't matter who is green or not.
He has done a lot in his last life.
"Then it's decided—how long will you stay this time? ”
"Three or four days at most, the details of the order from the manager of Dimitri will be finalized, and I will return to China. ”
"Well, it's a pity - why didn't you call the service earlier. ”
