Chapter 17 I really want to fly on a private jet
500 meters east of the government building of Pengcheng High-tech Development Zone, there is a strange-looking building.
It is forty or fifty stories high, wide at the bottom, narrow at the middle and wide at the top, and the overall color scheme is black and white, while the middle of the building is bright red, and there are two yellow bulges under the building, which serve as supports.
From a distance, the whole building looks like a big penguin standing with a red scarf, which looks very cute.
There are many Internet enterprises in the whole Pengcheng High-tech Development Zone, some of which are making games, some are doing software, some are doing e-commerce, some are engaged in P2P finance, and some are engaged in self-media marketing...... But the thousands of Internet companies combined, large and small, do not create as much economic benefit each year as the penguin-shaped edifice in which the conglomerate called "Penguin" is created.
This is Pengcheng Penguin Computer System Co., Ltd., one of the largest Internet companies in China and even in the world!
……
Tuesday, May 9th, morning, the sun was shining.
A small conference room on the eighth floor of Penguin's headquarters building.
The room was dimly lit, with six people sitting around a small conference table, their faces facing the front of the room, facing a bright projection screen whose colors shifted across their faces.
The projector illuminates delicate tables and histograms on the projection screen, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes is standing in front of the projection screen and telling what passionately:
“…… As we all know, China's wealthy people have always had the idea of buying private jets, and there are not a few of them who actually buy and own private jets. According to statistics, the number of private jets in China has exceeded 200, and this does not include the statistics of which small domestic helicopters......"
"But the utilization rate of these private jets is not high, and some data show that after purchasing a private jet, more than 82% of the wealthy do not use the private jet once a year. Most of the time, these private jets are idle. But they still have to pay high airport charter fees, docking fees, and maintenance fees for this private jet......"
"Our 'shared aircraft' project is to help the wealthy solve the problem of private jet idleness. During the idle period of private jets, help them make reasonable use of the precious resource of private jets. According to our estimates, if the project is successful, it will not be difficult for them to earn back those rental fees, docking fees, maintenance fees, and even make a profit......"
……
The young people spoke passionately and spittle, but most of the audience below seemed to be uninterested, and their faces did not change much, except for two younger listeners who listened more attentively and asked some questions from time to time.
For example, one of the women with gold wire glasses: "As far as I know, the people who own private jets are the top richest people in China, how confident can you convince them that they are willing to hand over private jets to you for management?" ”
The young man looked confident: "Of course we have considered this problem, after all, private jets are not small objects, they are of high value, and some high-end models are even worth more than 1 billion meters of gold." If you want to convince them, it is useless to talk to those subordinates, you can only talk to the rich man himself. Our self-confidence comes from our identity, there are seven people in our project team, although they are all young, but each of them has a deep background in relationship resources, and can talk to those rich people on some appropriate occasions, face to face, in person, and persuade them. ”
The young man spread his hands: "In fact, we have managed to convince four wealthy people, and they have all expressed their willingness to hand over their private jets to us. ”
A young man next to the woman also asked, "What level of persuasion are you talking about?" Verbally, or has the agreement already been signed? ”
In the face of this tricky question, the young man did not panic, and still seemed to be full of confidence: "At present, it is still in words, but these four rich people are all people with status and status, and they have always had excellent reputation. ”
The woman in the glasses then asked, "Then what is the profit point of your project?" Private jets are not something that everyone can afford. ”
"Of course." The young man smiled: "Our 'shared aircraft' project was aimed at the high-end market at the beginning, and it was aimed at those who have money, but due to various reasons, they can't buy private jets, but they need to use private jets, and second-class rich people." ”
"Let's take an example, let's say there is a rich man who doesn't have a private jet and has an important cross-border business to negotiate, but the airport flight schedule is not available, and he can't catch up with it. What if he wants to use a private jet at this time? The usual method is naturally to contact other wealthy people who own private jets through various relationships, owe personal favors, and obtain the qualifications to use the other party's private jets. ”
"But with our 'shared plane' project, it's different, he doesn't need to trust the relationship, he doesn't need to owe favors, he only needs to contact us, pay a certain amount of money, you can use our private jet, arrange everything for him, let him board the plane directly, and go wherever he wants to go!"
"But...... The odds of this happening to you are very small. The young man then asked, "You don't have to be in this situation a few times a year, do you?" Aren't planes idle most of the time? ”
"Yes, this service is just one of the businesses of our 'Shared Aircraft' project, which is also aimed at high-end users, and we also have a standing business on weekdays, which is aimed at mid-range users." The young man explains, "What is a mid-range user? Not those who are rich, but those rich second and third generations who are rich. ”
"This business is very simple, you don't need to apply for a route from civil aviation, or even take off! All we have to do is park the plane, arrange the service staff, spread out the red carpet, and greet the rich second and third generations on the tarmac, so that they can board the plane and have a meal. ”
"Just get on the plane and have a meal?" The woman with gold-rimmed glasses was puzzled: "So there are people who are willing to spend a lot of money?" ”
"Of course! We have carefully studied the psychology of the second and third generations of the rich people in China. The young man talked eloquently: "Although it is not excluded that there are some very capable rich children, there are still many guys who are addicted to drunkenness and luxury. They are generally the second son of the family who cannot inherit the family business, or the undesirable children, they are often inferior and sensitive, have a very strong vanity, and urgently need to attract the attention of others! They get on private jets not to enjoy that meal, but to take some photos and send them to their friends, in front of their friends, through the private jet, a symbol of the top rich, to satisfy their vanity......"
"What if those top rich people have an unexpected situation and need to use the plane, but the plane happens to be doing business?" The young man asked.
"Of course, we also have this in mind." The young man explained: "We will try to ensure that there are private jets at every airport, and when his plane is for business, we will allocate other rich people's ...... to him."
……
Just as he was talking, the door to the conference room was gently opened, and a young man scurried in. Then he tiptoed over to a middle-aged man with his eyes closed, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, and whispered something in his ear.
"Oh?" Listening to the young man's words, the middle-aged man opened his eyes suddenly, and a sound of surprise came out of his mouth.
Then the middle-aged man stood up and said to the other two middle-aged people next to him: "There is something in my department, I'll go and take a look." ”
Then he looked at the projection screen, and the young man, who had stopped speaking, waved his hand: "You continue." ”
With that, he walked out of the conference room with the young man who had rushed in.
After walking out for a distance, the middle-aged man asked the young man next to him, "What did Old Zhao really say?" Is that game really that good? ”
The young man hurriedly said, "Yes, Minister Sun. Team Leader Zhao really said that, and now the entire game evaluation team has passed. ”
As he walked forward, Minister Sun then asked, "Which game company is the work?" ”
"It's a new company, called Tianang Electronic Entertainment Company."
