Chapter 107: Rake
There is a tea restaurant called Huayu outside the headquarters of Dolphin Travel Network, and it is time for lunch at this time.
In a small partition, there were four of them sitting at this time.
These four people, except for Mr. Liu, the CEO of Dolphin Travel Network, the remaining three are all major shareholders.
Delicate refreshments were placed in front of the four of them, and they chatted as they ate.
"This time I miscalculated, and the iQue only made a false shot!"
"Now that 4,000 hotel rooms are in our hands, this loss is huge!"
"We still lost this money, and now it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of survival!"
"How?"
"iQue's hotel booking business is a level higher than ours in terms of experience, and although this time it temporarily suppressed the development of iQue, it didn't last long, and now it is Wang Mingyuan who is in charge of the hotel promotion work, everyone knows how powerful this person is, and it is only a matter of time before our hotel is fully covered, so we must think carefully about how to deal with it next!"
"That's right, this form of iQue is indeed something we can't compare with at the moment, this method completely subverts our current graphic display mode, and it is sooner or later that it will be replaced, and I recently got the news that iQue has begun to contact the following little brothers, and Donkey Dad and Shenox Travel Network have agreed to cooperate!"
"Is the information reliable?"
"Reliable, I have shares in both companies, and I got a shareholder notice after the partnership was confirmed. ”
The other three couldn't help but fall silent when they heard this, and after a while, one of them spoke.
"What if we work with iQue?"
"Then you're going to have to sacrifice some of your interests?"
"That's what I'll show you the statistics below. One of them handed his phone to the one next to him and continued, "Since iQue opened its hotel subscription business, our order volume has skyrocketed, especially for the hotels that have cooperated with iQue, the occupancy rate is not less than 80%, and the more popular attractions and cities in iQue have also increased significantly. ”
"That's right, the emergence of iQue has ushered in a new wave of users in the entire travel market, and these users may not have had much interest in travel in the past, but after playing in iQue, a large number of people want to see it in reality, this is an incremental market, and as iQue's users get bigger and bigger, this incremental market will also get bigger and bigger!"
"Well, iQue's VR technology is truly breathtaking!"
"Lao Liu, don't you Qiandu Group have a special VR department?
"Now all the technical strength of our Qiandu Group is focused on the research and development of autonomous driving, and there are only a few dozen people in the research and development of VR technology, but it is just to make a show, if there is any VR technology that can achieve the point of iQue, there should only be Chengtang Technology invested by the big thief group in China, and their image recognition engine is said to be able to reach the point of iQue, but I think there are many braggart components. ”
"There's no way technically, so we only have to cooperate now?"
"Well, it's true that there is only one way left for collaborators!"
"Is there any hope for taking a stake in Rice Technology?"
"There is no hope, we have tried it a long time ago, and this rice technology has not accepted money from any investment institution so far!"
"How can they accept shares, now the profitability of Rice Technology is close to that of Penguin Group, especially in the field of AR, it is making money every day, and they will naturally not accept other people's shares if they are not short of money. ”
"Mr. Liu, I think the cooperation with iQue can accept their conditions, although the low-end hotel is a piece of fat, but compared with the incremental market of iQue, it can be abandoned!"
"If you cooperate with iQue, will it be embezzled, or become one of their affiliates?"
"There is a possibility, but judging from the way iQue cooperates, this possibility is extremely low, and now that iQue has launched a developer platform, major travel companies and even hotels themselves can directly connect to iQue's system, and our cooperation with them is only open resources, and there are no other restrictions!"
"Isn't there a limit to the amount of money you can pay?"
"No, iQue users pay for their room fees directly into the service provider's account and do not go through iQue's official account, which I have already verified technically. ”
"There is no financial limit, so I think we can cooperate!"
"Then I'll take a run?"
After Mr. Liu said this, the other three immediately agreed.
At lunchtime, the four of them came out of the tea and tea restaurant and went their separate ways, and Mr. Liu, as the actual manager of the company, naturally took care of the next cooperation with iQue.
…………
Three days later
Yang Qing stood at the gate of the company to personally greet the arrival of Mr. Liu.
"Welcome! Welcome!"
"I look forward to the stars and the moon, but I can be regarded as looking forward to Mr. Liu!"
Yang Qing's warm greeting made Mr. Liu, who had just gotten off the car, not expect, although he had already communicated on the phone to confirm the cooperation, but Mr. Liu did not expect Yang Qing to be so enthusiastic, after all, he had just put on a fugue side.
"Mr. Yang is too polite!"
The two shook hands, and Yang Qing immediately said, "Please inside!"
"Please!"
When they came to the conference room, the guests of honor were divided, and the two sides did not continue to be polite but went straight to the point.
"Mr. Yang, we can make concessions about low-end hotels, but you can't let us lose such a large amount of income, right?"
Yang Qing said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, rest assured, I have naturally considered the income of your company in the low-end hotel, other people's CDs are 5 points, and I give Mr. Liu 4 points, how about it?"
"Mr. Yang is too uninteresting, 1 point is too little, no matter what, you have to drop 3 points!" Mr. Liu said dissatisfied.
Yang Qing still smiled and said, "With your company's order volume, this point is astronomical!"
"What astronomical amount, this money is still in Mr. Yang's eyes?" Mr. Liu said.
Yang Qing said: "Mr. Liu is really joking, I care a lot about this hundreds of millions of deals!"
"1 point is indeed too little, I can't explain this to the board of directors when I go back, Mr. Yang is giving a little bit, I don't want 3 points, 2.9 is always okay, right?" Mr. Liu said rarely.
“……”
This point seems very small, but the entire hotel ordering business is a scale of 100 billion, this is enlarged, that is, 0.1 CD is hundreds of millions of funds, so both sides are not giving an inch, the two of you come and go, for a specific point of the commission said a morning, and finally determined that the point of the commission is 3.2%, that is, the order of 100 yuan is 3.2 yuan.
After talking about the draw in the morning, it will be much easier in the afternoon, that is, to finalize some details of the problem, as well as technical communication problems, these are naturally talked about by the following people, Yang Qing and Mr. Liu are talking about some gossip that has nothing to do with cooperation.
"Has Mr. Yang heard about it? The unmanned vehicle of Qiandu Group has obtained the permission of the relevant departments to go on the road, and the unmanned vehicle is about to run on the road!"
"Is it? So fast, doesn't it mean that the technology is not yet mature?
"What technology is not mature, as early as two years ago, the unmanned driving of 1,000 degrees has passed the level 4 test, and it can be completely automated on urban roads, and the technology in the past two years has almost reached the level of level 5. ”
"Are you about to reach level 5?" Yang Qing said with some surprise.
This can not help but surprise Yang Qing, Yang Qing is actually very familiar with autonomous driving technology, in the book "A Thousand and One Questions about Unmanned Driving Technology" There is a detailed explanation of the level of automatic driving, and it is already on the road to reach level 4, and reaching level 5 is the apex of this field.
