Chapter 265 Shanghai Branch
Sunday, 21 November 2004.
Liu Yun, accompanied by Liu Yuerudi, came to Shanghai. This is the first time he has come to this metropolis, which is known as the most prosperous metropolis in China, since he was reborn for more than two years.
When he stood on the shore, he looked at the quietly flowing Huangpu River, and the roaring boats passing in front of him.
The two sides of the Huangpu River gather the essence of Shanghai's urban landscape, and the Huangpu River at night vividly renders the luxurious, romantic and atmospheric style of Shanghai.
Liu Yun, who is immersed in it, sighs through the flowing Huangpu River and sighs the infinite vitality of the city. He believes that many dreamers from all over the world, after coming to this metropolis and witnessing the beautiful Huangpu River, will have such a thought: no matter how hard and tired I am, I want to stay in this city.
Shanghai does have its own unique charm, attracting young talents from all over the country to pursue their dreams. In Liu Yun's hometown of Donghai, there is a very consistent one-way line for those young people's employment: Shanghai> Hangzhou> Ningjiang.
Because Hangzhou already has Alibaba, and he is more fond of those coastal cities. Shanghai and Ningjiang are his favorite targets.
He knows the truth that you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Now, it's time for him to move some of his industry to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
"In the past three months, most of the hotel merchants in the prefecture-level cities in Jiangnan Province have been won by us, and the market is basically in a state of saturation. We must take advantage of this shareholder wind to expand outward, and time is running out. Liu Yueru looked at the distance of the Huangpu River and said.
"So I want to set up a branch of Yoyo Holiday in Shanghai. According to the information I have received, Ctrip has also started to develop a hotel reservation system, which is very likely to be launched by the end of this year or early next year. Liu Yun squinted his eyes slightly and said, "From the perspective of funds, Ctrip's advantages are much more obvious than ours. We haven't gotten involved in online ticketing yet, and they're the first to reach out to us. ”
In the previous life, the company conquered the city in the tourism market, and even acquired Qunar.com, becoming a giant in the Chinese tourism market, although their major shareholder is Baidu, one of the BAT giants, but the decision-making power of the entire company is still in the hands of the founder Liang Jianzhang.
In 2017, the CEO once asserted that Ctrip's opponents were only international giants such as Binke and Yikexing, and those domestic travel websites could only avoid them and eat some leftovers.
"I'm worried about whether Ctrip will move Alibaba and use Alipay's excuse as well. If that happens, our market share could be diluted quite a bit. Liu Yueru said with a hint of concern, "I tried to get to know that senior brother, and there are always some wild ideas in his head, and I can't keep up with his thinking, and I can't guess what he thinks now." ”
When she said this, her eyes lit up and she looked at Liu Yun and said with a smile: "Sometimes I think that you are a bit similar to my senior brother, and you will have some unexpected jumping thinking. ”
Cousin's words couldn't help but make Liu Yun show a wry smile, and he secretly said in his heart: My thinking is jumping because I am a reborn, and Lao Ma, he is an indigenous. If he didn't have those prophetic messages, his mind probably wouldn't be able to jump, and he might not be able to keep up with the old horse's rhythm.
Today's Liu Yun is a cheater with a plug-in.
"Not to mention Alibaba's Alipay, if Ctrip only uses online banking, with its huge size and more than 10 million registered users, it can dilute our market share. Liu Yun sighed slightly and continued, "By the way, how is astronaut Yang Liwei talking over there, can you let him come to Yoyo Holiday Network to write a few space travel experiences and enhance the popularity of the website." ”
Liu Yueru said: "It's almost over, he is a soldier and can't receive sponsorship. We switched to a compromise approach, Yoyo Vacation Network gave a sponsorship to the Huaxia Space Agency, and then asked him to write a few journals. ”
Liu Yun nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Let's not talk about this for a while, let's go to the rented office building. ”
The office building they chose to rent was the Fortune Financial Plaza, located next to the Huangpu River. There is a high rate of greenery and the scenery is very pleasant.
Liu Yun rented the west side of the 12th floor of the office building, which is almost 300 square meters, and the annual rent is 300,000 yuan. Looking out the window at the beautiful Huangpu River, even Liu Yueru couldn't help but sigh that the environment here was too beautiful, and she had an urge to apply for a transfer to work here.
"It's beautiful, and this view should help us recruit a lot of talent. Liu Yun joked with a smile.
"Now it's just tentatively setting up a branch, but you should have a point in time in mind, and you will move the entire Yoyo Vacation Network in the future. Liu Yueru asked.
"Two years for fast, three years for slow. It's still a vague plan in my mind. I need to adjust accordingly to the market at that time. Liu Yun was silent for a while and said, "I don't want to have a situation where one head is heavy and the other is light. The most ideal result is that our Yoyo network in Shanghai and Ningjiang go hand in hand, competing with each other and promoting each other, so that the whole company will benefit. ”
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yun threw out a question that he had been hesitating in his heart, "The person in charge of the Shanghai branch, who do you think is more suitable?"
He understands that asking other management will be more or less emotional, but Liu Yueru will not, she is not only her cousin, but also understands the truth of distinguishing between public and private, even if her cousin wanted to come to Yoyo Network half a year ago, she also reported to herself truthfully, and did not use the power in her hands.
"Let my assistant Xu Ying try it. Liu Yueru frowned slightly and thought for a while and said, "She has been with me for almost a year. In the past three months, I have been busy with the affairs of Yoyo Holiday.com, and she has been following behind to help, dealing with various documents, and I can say that I am already very familiar with this aspect of business, and I think I can let her stand alone. ”
Liu Yun said: "In this way, you have to recruit assistants again, and you have to start from scratch." ”
Liu Yueru replied: "That's also something that can't be helped, after all, the branch of the Shanghai Stock Exchange is very important, and we can't afford to make mistakes." Xu Ying is also my assistant, and she will report to me when she comes to Shanghai in the future, and I can also directly convey any orders from the headquarters, so as to improve the efficiency of my work. ”
Liu Yun nodded and said, "Okay, then according to your meaning, I hope this Xu Ying will not disappoint me." ”
