Chapter 731: Million dollars, take you to pretend to take you to fly

Lao Ma was full of confidence and behaved in front of Nanming, which made Nanming look at him with admiration, but when he saw how Nanming abused Charlie Day, he immediately became calm.

Unlike various high-end clubs in China that have just started for more than 20 years, in the United States, high-end clubs have experienced a round of prosperity and decline, a century ago, it has already shown decline, and now it has declined to almost no scum.

The remaining so-called high-end clubs are mainly polo clubs, golf and country clubs, and so-called gentleman's clubs for men, and they were bought by Japan in the eighties and nineties and by Koreans around 2,000 years ago, and now, it is the turn of Chinese to buy land and golf courses everywhere in the United States.

Although most of these places lose money, for Chinese, these places are cheap, hundreds of acres of land, millions of dollars to buy, there is no such good thing in China.

And these so-called high-end clubs, in fact, their members are only some middle class, middle and upper class.

And in many cases, joining a high-end club is not even a plus, but a minus, and many politicians have to publicly declare that they have quit such and such a club in order to save their image in the eyes of the public.

As the so-called aristocrats and old tycoons gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and the upstarts who are gradually emerging from technology and emerging industries are turning their noses up at the outdated, men-like clubs that are called gentlemen and are actually patriarchal, these clubs are becoming more and more demoralized.

Modern technology has allowed human beings to have more entertainment, more pursuits, more ways to communicate, and more convenient ways to arrange their lives.

In this way, some of the trite ones. The high-end clubs, which mainly rely on information asymmetry and provide so-called high-end services, have no market.

For example, Charlie Day, whom Nanming met before, provided services such as renting yachts, arranging tours, and even naming the planets and stars in the sky after himself. It's all just a matter of clicking a mouse on the Internet.

Even if you can't click the mouse, you just need to find a random travel company, drop 200,000 US dollars, and some people are crying and crying to help you solve the problem.

Sure, joining a club and having them take care of everything for you sounds like a lot of stuff, but at the end of the day, they take advantage of it. It's just that the information is not equal, customers don't know, or they are too lazy to spend energy on their own to do this kind of thing, but what they can do, others can also do, without the slightest core competitiveness.

So, what are the core competencies that a club provides?

You can get the Queen of England to have dinner with you, and that's called core competency.

If you can get the Queen of England to play golf with you. You will have the competitiveness against the sky.

What is scarce, what others can't do. And what a lot of people want to do, that's the real competitiveness.

……

Lao Ma sorted out all the services that his club may provide, divided into three categories: "basic services", "high-end services" and "irreplaceable services", carefully considered for a long time, and found that there are irreplaceable services. It's just too little.

There is no substitute for the Lazy God Club, and at present, there is only one type that can be opened to the outside world in the United States.

That's the powerful massage table that Nanming has strengthened.

But this is not enough. What other irreplaceable services can the Lazy God Club provide?

Moreover, no matter how comfortable the massage table of the Lazy God Club is, people who have not experienced it will not feel it, and there is no way to attract members quickly and in large numbers, and they have to find something else that can attract attention.

After careful consideration, Lao Ma finally had the confidence to go to Nanming again.

When I knocked on the door of Nanming's office, I saw Nanming lying lazily on the soft leather sofa, fiddling with his mobile phone.

"Master, I have something for you to decide. Lao Ma walked in with a folder, "I want to use a new trademark for the Lazy God branch in the United States." ”

"Oh?" Nan Ming stood up, a little confused, "Is it necessary?"

All along, the symbol of the lazy god system has been the whirlpool symbol.

However, each branch has its own logo, and will add the whirlpool logo of the lazy god system to its own logo to indicate its own lineage.

However, it is the first time that the entire trademark of the lazy god system has been changed.

The old horse smiled and put a few pieces of paper in front of Nan Ming.

Nan Ming glanced down, and suddenly his eyes lit up and understood.

"The Tree of Order!"

On the paper on the table in front of Nan Ming, dozens of different forms of abstract trees of order were printed.

The shining, abstract Tree of Order, with the words Lazy God Technology and the abbreviation LT written underneath.

It looks very tall.

"When you gifted the Tree of Order, I had already registered the trademark of the Tree of Order, including dozens of trademarks and names that could be confused. The old horse laughed.

"Taking the Tree of Order as the trademark of Lazy God Technology in the United States and even the Americas should be of great help to the integration of Lazy God Technology into the United States. ”

However, you still need to choose the new logo of the company. Lao Ma pointed to the dozens of logos in front of him.

Nan Ming looked at it carefully for a long time and chose the simplest and most abstract symbol of the Tree of Order.

"In addition, I plan to relaunch a brand in the North American market in addition to the Lazy God Club. "Lao Ma Dao," the Lazy God Club's Lazy God Technology background is relatively easy for people to target, if a new brand is launched, at least it can reduce the rebellious psychology of some people who are prejudiced against Lazy God Technology.

Sometimes, people's boycott psychology is actually very strange, for example, some angry young people clamored for a boycott of Japanese products all day long, but they don't know that Master Kong is also Japanese-funded, and almost every camera in their mobile phone is made in Japan, as long as it is not labeled with a Japanese brand.

In fact, many Japanese brands have already been acquired by Chinese, such as Sanyo's home appliances, but they will still be boycotted......

Lao Ma's move can be said to be trying to cover up, but it will be very effective.

Nan Ming also agreed, but was curious: "What brand do you want to enable?"

β€œredface。 The old horse laughed.

Nanming's eyes widened, redface?

After fighting with Lao Qi at the beginning, Nanming indirectly collapsed Red Qingyang. Later, he simply bought Red Qingyang, and later when Nanming competed for NONE East Asia Administrator, he got Lao Qi's inheritance and took full control of its parent company, redface, but it has not been used.

"Redface is controlled by a secret holding company that we control, without a thorough investigation. In fact, it has nothing to do with us, we declare to the outside world that it is good to jointly develop the US market with Redface. Lao Ma laughed, Nanming was too lazy to care about Redface, but now he gave Lao Ma a good chess hand.

Redface also has investments in the U.S., buying four golf courses and taking over a poorly run country club, and they also had ambitions to develop ...... in the U.S. market."

If it weren't for Lao Qi's sudden hanging, maybe Redface would really be able to occupy a place in the high-end service industry in the United States.

"In addition to launching a new brand. I have also prepared several initiatives to attract members. "Lao Ma took out the plan again, and gave it to Nanming.

"Circumnavigating the globe on the Silence?" Seeing Lao Ma's first plan, Nanming's eyes lit up.

"There is no one of the fastest ships in the world, which should be attractive enough to these rich people. Lao Ma said, "I believe it can attract a lot of people to sign up, but we can only receive ten people at a time, after all, the Silence is not a cruise ship......

"For the first batch of 10 tickets, I plan to give them away. I've drawn up a list of ten people, and you'll come and see ......," said the old horse. "After my analysis, these people are the most likely to accept the gift and go to the Silence, if we can satisfy them, wait until they come back to promote, we can do the second batch......"

"Gift?" Nanming smiled. "How can there be such a good thing, take them around the world, and give them away for free?

"Auction?" the old horse was stunned.

"Bidding auction, ten tickets. The reserve price of each ticket is $1 million, but the first dignitaries to board the Silence have the right to designate a location, and the Silence will work out a route according to the location designated by each person, and use this route to circle the entire world within a week. "Nan Ming Dao.

The old horse opened his mouth and was shocked by Nanming's whimsy.

"Let everybody designate a place, and we'll go wherever they designate?" asked the old horse, "what if they specify the South Pole or the North Pole?"

"Then go too. "Nan Ming Dao," If there are any technical problems, just find Feng Tianyou and let him solve them. ”

"Then if he wants us to sail the boat to Everest......"

"Let Feng Tianyou solve it. "Nan Ming Dao.

Lao Ma couldn't help but mourn for Feng Tianyou in his heart, his only thought at this time was that he hoped that no one really had a whimsical idea and wanted to climb Mount Everest.

"What about the moon?" asked the old horse suddenly.

"Look for the wind and God bless...... Holy, the moon? Of course anywhere on earth! And it has to be reasonable, if you let me fly above the White House, I'll be responsible for the relationship!"

The old horse took the order and left.

Even if he didn't solve the technical problems, he would have to go to Feng Tianyou first.

After a few hours of specific details and everything was clear, Lao Ma and Feng Tianyou redeployed a new page on the "Redface" website.

At the same time, Lao Ma began to spread the word everywhere.

"Epic journey, million dollars, take you pretending to be forced to take you flying. Such a news was passed on by Lao Ma through various channels.

"The top luxury club 'Redface' has cooperated with technology upstart Lazy God Technology to launch the most shocking epic journey, and the first batch of ten ferry tickets will be auctioned from now on. With a reserve price of $1 million, you can get the chance to travel around the world on the Silence for a week, limited to 10 tickets, and those who get the first 10 tickets can get a chance to travel to a designated location, no matter where you want the Silence to go, log on to the Redface page, enter your auction amount, and your destination, and we will make your dream come true for you. ”

After this page was launched, Lao Ma was still a little nervous, for fear that no one would come to shoot, he washed his face, smoked a cigar, and then returned to the sofa, opened the page himself, thought about it, and wrote down a destination.

"I wanted to surf Tahiti on the Silence and conquer some of the world's most dangerous waves. Then the reserve price of millions of dollars was entered.

After step-by-step verification, after remitting 10% of the margin to an account provided by the bank in advance, Lao Ma ordered to send.

"The amount you entered is too low. A prompt pops up, "You can add an amount within an hour, and your money will be refunded in full after the deadline." ”

Too low? The old horse's eyes widened, and the webpage was automatically refreshed at this time.

Ten tickets, all sold out!

Lao Ma remembered that he had just washed his face and smoked a cigar, how much time had he had?

He looked at the data on the web page and saw the words: "I want to go to Australia for cage diving and get up close and personal with great white sharks, my destination is the Nepchu Islands......" This person took the first ticket, and the price of the first ticket was $1010,000.

This is estimated to be a fan of Jaws.

"I want to go to the wilderness coast and watch the sardines migrate......" The man took the second ticket, which cost $1.07 million.

"I want to go to Christmas Island to see the ...... of the warbler on the line island" This person took the fourth ticket, and the price was $1.27 million.

This is a bird-watching enthusiast.

At this point, it's relatively normal.

In addition to those who have already bidd, in the comment section, there are also people commenting.

"I'm a photographer, I don't have any money, I'm crowdfunding to get on the Silence, I want to capture the whole thing. Then he added: "If I can't crowdfund the money, I can mortgage the old house that my grandmother left me, it's a great house, and the real estate agent says she's worth 1.5 million!"

The old horse sighed.

Then the old horse saw the tenth ticket.

"I want to go skiing on Kilimanjaro!"

Seeing this, the old horse immediately froze.

Your sister, Kilimanjaro is an inland mountain!

How the Silence went to Kilimanjaro!

Is it enough to send you to the port of ********?

And the bidding price written by this person is......

Three and a half million, dollars!

It doubled all at once!

Then he also added a sentence at the end: "You guys are lazy technology, aren't you very good?"

"This kid is crazy, Kilimanjaro is out, is there really anyone planning to take the Silence to fly over Mount Everest?"

However, even if you want to make trouble, you must have this strength, because the deposit is remitted to the designated account, and the auction is maliciously abandoned, and the deposit is deducted.

As soon as this brain-opening idea appeared, it suddenly brought a wave of rhythm, and there was a humane below: "I want to go to Antarctica to see penguins!"

"I want to go deep into the Marina Trench...... this is another brain-opener.

The auction amount is ...... $6 million.

Looking at these brain-opening thoughts, Lao Ma was deeply worried, this situation is not good.

Could it be that Tianyou can really let the Silence go up to the sky and into the sea?

While Lao Ma was worried, Ellis of Raytheon was sitting in front of the computer, patting the table and laughing.

"Elk, what do you think of my idea? Go skiing on Kilimanjaro!"

Elk glanced at the screen and frowned, "Do you have that much money?"

"Don't worry, can you really fly to Kilimanjaro?" Wait, someone has outbid me, I'll refresh the price ...... again" (To be continued.) )
