Chapter 71 The Development of Tourism
(Thank you 130810113750290 and the enlightened monk for the tip, thank you.) )
In Lang Yufu's memory, although he is a decrepit man who has nothing, he also has several good travel memories. In later generations, whether it is a computer or a mobile phone, you can directly contact the Internet to book hotels and arrange travel routes, and no matter what the destination, there are a large number of travelogues to browse.
The travel company founded by Cao Yu and her family, including the current website, also has vague memories in Lang Yufu's memory, which shows that Cao Yu and her work are still very good.
However, whether it is online booking or special tourism, their company has not achieved the first place in the industry, but now an online ticketing service company in Puhai has achieved the first place in the industry after receiving the support of international capital.
Although the other party is not directly involved in the travel service, the large membership group allows them to have the upper hand and make profits no matter which travel company they cooperate with.
This is like making the scale of the supermarket bigger, no matter which manufacturer, it requires the supermarket to enter the market. Manufacturers not only have to pay floating profits, entry fees, but also have to bear the operational difficulties caused by the pressure on payments.
The service provider can always use the funds from the online ticket purchase for its own development, and then pay it to the hotel or airport, including the travel company, after a period of turnover.
In fact, this business model is not complicated at all, what is complicated is the initial investment, to establish a brand that everyone recognizes, and expand to a scale that everyone recognizes, it is not possible to succeed overnight.
Lang Yufu's memory didn't know much about the details in this, and Chen Mo hadn't been exposed to anything in this regard, so he could only talk about fur.
But for Cao Yu, an industry insider, this kind of inspiration is a lighthouse in the dark. She couldn't take care of Chen Mena's unfinished travelogue anymore, so she called a few of her partners and made an appointment to meet at a bar in Sanlitun.
"I really don't know how your head grows, why you can always look at problems and get to the point. Everyone knows that the rapid development of our country's economy, the establishment of weekends and small long holidays, are all to promote consumption. As a green economy, tourism consumption will occupy a large part of the market in the future, but no one can see the future path now. Tonight, you're going to pour out all the stuff in your head......"
Li Shan playfully asked, "Then what good do we have?" ”
Cao Yu pinched her face, and said with a smile: "I regret it now, my father wanted me to have a relationship with the black dog, I thought he was small, so I didn't do it, now I ...... it."
Li Shan didn't cling to it. "Why are you like that...... Is this a benefit? It's a threat! ”
"Look at you so nervous......" Cao Yu laughed. The good thing is that I won't rob your husband with you in the future, okay?! ”
Chen Mo said disdainfully: "It's as if you can succeed if you grab it." Look at your body without three taels of flesh, I can't look down on it! In this case, you are responsible for washing out all the photos I took during this trip to Europe, and I will reluctantly agree to you! ”
Cao Yu slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Where is your share in talking, shut up!" ”
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll really shut up, tonight, I promise not to say a word." ”
Cao Yu was dumbfounded and softened. "Xiao Mo, my sister was wrong just now, and now I apologize to you............"
No matter what Cao Yu said, Chen Mo just ignored it, and Cao Yu was helpless, gritting his teeth with hatred but pretending to be pitiful and begging Chen Mo.
Li Shan giggled on the side, she didn't care about the nonsense of the sister and brother, knowing that they were playing tricks, it would be really stupid if they participated.
After a while, Cao Yu finally took out the big killer and threw the Canon digital camera she bought back when she went to Japan last month in Chen Mo's arms. "This is a reward for you, a hundred times stronger than your old antique that still uses film. In the future, upload photos to the Internet, and there is no need to wash the photos again, a data cable will solve the problem. ”
Chen Mo didn't say a word, and hurriedly hugged the camera in his arms. "What about the camera case? What about data cables? Well, you can't go back. ”
"Look at your virtue......" Cao Yu was distressed and angry, but he couldn't help laughing.
In an American-style Qing bar in Sanlitun, Cao Yu's current boyfriend Li Dawei, as well as several of her friends and partners, sat around a table and listened to Chen Mo talking about it alone. Each of them was attentive, and even used a pen to write down the main points that Chen Mo said from time to time.
“………… After talking about the six major links of tourism, we can also clearly know that although the development of tourism in our country is still in the most primitive initial stage, the rapid development also forces us to leapfrog from the physiological needs of tourists to the psychological needs at the beginning. Don't ask me how to do it, I don't know if I ask, I'm just okay occasionally, just think about it. Now, let's talk about the three pillars of tourism. ”
"Scenic spots or destinations, transportation, and hotels, these are the three pillars of tourism. If a travel company wants to do everything in the industry, it must have a certain amount of control in both the upstream, midstream and downstream, so that it can spread its influence. That is to say, your travel company can not only position itself as a service provider for tourists, but also position itself as a travel contractor, only in this way to establish their own service system, preferential programs, you can have stickiness and attract more people to become your members. At that time, you don't need to ask grandpa and grandma to ask for that little bit of discount from customers in every link. ”
Cao Yu, who is in charge of the website, is more concerned about the development of his website, asking: "So how to closely link physical services with network services?" According to the annual report of the American Travel Association, between '96 and '98, 90 percent of people in the United States used the Internet for ticketing and Internet reservations. However, our domestic tourism market is more passive, and consumers lack the initiative of European and American tourists, and are more accustomed to following the arrangements of travel agencies. ”
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "This is a difference in consumption habits, but it won't be like this forever. I don't know exactly how. Although there seems to be no direction for the development of the website now, I remember a slogan that technology is people-oriented. Five years ago, we were able to send letters over the Internet, but now, there is instant messaging software. I once read a technology vision in the United States, which said that in the future, mobile phones can have the function of the Internet, and the Internet can form a huge world, in which all needs can be met. I think you can also move your goals in that direction. ”
"I'm telling you ...... serious"
"I'm not kidding." Chen Mo said with a smile: "In the United States, an e-commerce platform represented by Amazon appeared in 95, and similar companies represented by 8848 have also appeared in our country, but this type of company is currently only biased towards directly providing goods rather than services." I think this Business-to-Customer model can be applied directly to your travel website, but you don't need to ask me for the specific details, because I don't understand it either. ”
Li Dawei asked: "Wait, why do I feel that my head can't keep up, what is this business-to-customer model?" ”
"To put it simply, merchants are directly to consumers, and enterprises provide consumers with a new shopping and consumption environment through the Internet."
Li Dawei explained: "I understand this B2C model, I mean, can travel sites do the same? ”
"I'm just providing ideas, as for how to do it, don't ask me, I'm just here to have a drink."
Everyone laughed, not taking his words seriously. Li Jianwei, their partner and general manager of Sihai Travel Service Company, said: "Chen Mo, your words do provide us with an idea, we originally just used the website as a promotional window for tourism companies, but we didn't expect that there is so much potential to be tapped in this area. Although there are still many difficulties in the development of e-commerce consumption platforms, we already know the direction of development, and we can do things twice the result with half the effort in the future! Come, let's have a drink, I salute you. ”
Sihai Tourism Company was originally a state-owned enterprise and had a short glorious history, but after the superfluity of people and the inertia of state-owned enterprises, it gradually lost its competitiveness.
Li Jianwei was originally the vice president of Sihai, and when Sihai was transformed, he contracted this company, but he was restricted by funds and all aspects. Li Dawei was originally a child of the General Administration of Tourism, and Li Jianwei still has a little kinship, and fell in love with Cao Yu when he was in college, and as soon as he graduated, he took Cao Yu to invest in this company and became the majority shareholder of this company.
It is precisely for this reason that Cao Zhongmou does not have a good impression of Li Dawei, although he took a large sum of money for his daughter, he has never recognized this son-in-law and has not let him come to the door so far.
However, Chen Mo's impression of Li Dawei is still very good, this person is not pretentious, he treats people sincerely, although he is a little out of the box and loves to play, but his conduct is very good. Besides, although investing in this tourism company is Li Dawei's proposal, it is Cao Yu who is really tempted.
She has always liked Vivi, who is five or six years younger than her, and even has some admiration. Because she is very envious of the fact that she has traveled all over the world at a young age, she is very interested in investing in the tourism industry and looks forward to using her position to travel all over the world in the future.
Besides, they have now invested in this travel company, and it is doing quite well, it has been making money, and the future is very promising.
Remembering the old man at home, Chen Mo didn't delay much, and he didn't drink much wine, so he dragged Li Shan, who was having fun, home. They also knew Chen Mo's situation, and they didn't keep it, but just made an appointment to get together later.
(There were really not many options for digital cameras at the time, and even if the pixels were not high, they were mainly Japanese brands.) Not to mention Hasselblad and Leica, Chen Mo, who has not yet made money, can't afford it, so let's take it first. Chen Mo will not spend too much energy in other industries, but some promising industries will still involve his family members. )
