Chapter 245: Travel Guide

After Zhang Lili left, Liu Yun picked up the phone and was about to call Xia Lu, the director of the editorial department, to come to the office. But as soon as he picked up the phone, he changed his mind, and he was going to go to the editorial office in person.

Once a good idea appears in Liu Yun's mind, he will think about implementing it immediately. He rushed directly to the editorial office and shouted at the door of the supervisor's office, "Director Xia come out." Then he clapped his hands and motioned for all the staff in the department to pause what they were doing.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Xia Lu also showed a look of curiosity.

Liu Yun beckoned, beckoned the staff of the editorial department, and said, "There is a new task to be handed over to you, if there are not enough people, Director Xia can go to the talent market to recruit a little more." ”

Xia Lu nodded, just now she and Zhang Lili, the treasurer, were on the phone, after the online launch of Yoyo Holiday, the workload of the finance department has increased a lot, and the expansion of personnel has embarked on the process. A few days ago, Yoyo Network just received $9 million in financing from Alibaba, and now it has sufficient funds. Liu Yun's plan is to take over the markets in Jiangnan Province and Shanghai by the end of this year.

He said: "I think everyone knows the newly launched website, Yoyo Holiday.com. This website only provides online reservation services for hotels, because the function is a bit simple, presumably the traffic of the website will not be very high for a period of time in the future. We should enrich the content of the website. For example, put a little picture of the tourist attraction, as well as a text introduction, to attract those who love to travel. ”

Xia Lu groaned slightly, and replied, "Boss, I also think this is a good idea. Doing so can enrich the content of the website and extend the browsing time of netizens. If it is just a simple reservation function, those netizens will directly close the webpage after booking the room. ”

Liu Yun tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile: "Actually, I have another way, which is to put a lot of travel guides on the website, so that you can share the travel experience of those travelers on our website for netizens across the country to watch." ”

In 2004, it was a very novel idea. Liu Yun knows that among the tourism websites in later generations, old websites such as Ctrip and eLong occupy the main market, and the new tourism websites will find another way, starting with the travel strategy, and when they have accumulated a certain degree of popularity and have a large number of stable users, they will start to book tickets and rooms online, and begin to encroach on the tourism market step by step.

He doesn't see Ctrip or eLong as imaginary enemies in the future, because the tourism market in China is too big for one or two companies to monopolize. Liu Yun held the sharp weapon of Alipay, and dragged Ali onto his chariot, what he wanted to do was to get a piece of the cake from this amazingly profitable market, of course, the bigger the cake, the better.

He has a completely different mindset when it comes to travel websites and browsers. Because the browser market is so big, after the advent of the 360 browser in the previous life, through online and offline marketing methods, crazy to seize the market, coupled with the IE browser that comes with the indos system, the market space for other browsers has been very small. Therefore, Liu Yun will regard Zhou Hongyi, who is still working at Yahoo Huaxia, as the biggest imaginary enemy of Yoyo Browser.

He took back some thoughts that had nothing to do with this meeting, and continued: "Travel guides, the staff of your editorial department can write them, and the rest of our employees on the network can also write them, and even invite travel enthusiasts from all over the society to write them. We can choose some excellent and popular articles from these travel guides, and then give some rewards to the creators, with bonuses ranging from 100 yuan to 1000 yuan. ”

Xia Lu answered: "Boss, this method is good, but I think the employees within the company and the people in society should adopt two ways of judging. ”

Liu Yun glanced at Xia Lu appreciatively and said, "It should be so." The number of awards for the company's employees and some travel enthusiasts is independent of each other and does not affect each other. Because the decision of the award-winning articles lies with the editorial department, Xia Lu's purpose is to avoid suspicion and save people from thinking that the editorial department is using power for personal gain and leaving the award-winning places to the employees of their own company. In this way, employees who put the interests of the company first will be appreciated by him.

"Director Xia, after this event, take those articles that have lived to a maximum of 1,000 yuan to my office, and let me take a look. He added, "By the way, do you have enough people in your editorial office?"

Xia Lu replied: "The company is developing rapidly, and the manpower still needs to be expanded, so I will hold an internal meeting of the department and decide to recruit a few more people." But rest assured, boss, we will successfully complete the tasks you assigned. ”

She was a little surprised, this time Liu Yun did not look for her alone, but directly pulled the people from the entire department to a meeting together. Generally speaking, the boss of the company will only communicate with the management, and will rarely arrange work matters with the junior employees. The young boss's resolute way of doing things is really eclectic.

"By the way, is there a limit to the scope of these travel guides, at present, our company's primary markets are Hangzhou and Ningjiang, so should the travel guides be based on these two cities?" Xia Lu had a sharp mind, and kept thinking about what was missing from this plan.

Liu Yun's eyes moved slightly, pulled a chair and sat down, and after Xia Lu reminded him, he remembered that he had overlooked a very important point.

"Boss, drink some water. At this time, a young female employee held tea and whispered. Seeing that she is a few years older than Liu Yun, she looks very cautious.

"Thank you. Liu Yun took a sip of tea and quipped, "Why don't you pour a cup for your Director Xia." ”

Xia Lu smiled and said, "I asked her to pour water, so I don't need it." ”

Liu Yun put the teacup aside and continued: "The article on travel guides doesn't need to be limited to Ningjiang or Hangzhou. Our ultimate goal is to win the national market, and Ningjiang and Hangcheng are just a starting station. So as long as it's a good travel article, anywhere in the country, even abroad. For example, Mt. Fuji in Japan, Hawaii in the United States, and the Aegean Sea in Greece. Yoyo Holidays is not only to be the best online booking website, but also to become the best travel strategy gathering place on the Internet. ”

When he said this, he added jokingly: "If anyone has a travel guide to the moon and Mars, they are also welcome to contribute." ”

Xia Lu's eyes widened, revealing a speechless expression. This young boss is really not serious.

However, because of the joke just now, Liu Yun suddenly had an idea in his heart, on October 15, 2003, Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei entered space with the attention of the whole country, which is also the first person in Chinese history to enter space.

He wondered if he should invite the astronaut over and write an article about his experience in space travel to add popularity to his website.
