Chapter 1693: Seaside Town (4/5)
"Can't truffles grow in cold weather, so what to do?"
In the morning, the sun is shining and the warm sea breeze blows from the Pacific Ocean, and you can faintly smell the salty smell of the sea.
Anya was on a horse, and decided to go out for horseback riding in the morning, and she deliberately wore a pair of jeans with a whitish color.
A cashmere trench coat over a white sweater and a warm shirt underneath the sweater are just right to go out in this weather.
A long black trench coat that looks pretty cool, looks good in whatever she wears, and her lavender purple hair is draped over her shoulders, blown up and down by the breeze.
"If it doesn't grow, even the mycelium may freeze to death, not to mention that during the truffle growth period, there is just no suitable temperature.
Some time ago, I wanted him to send some fresh truffles to celebrate the birth of Gates' youngest son, Rory John Gates, but later I learned that truffles did not grow in the snowy mountain pastures at all, but fortunately, the ginseng that brought me huge profits was more adapted to the climate of Montana.
So after a few years of delay, he now arranges for people to plant those artificially cultivated truffles in my Gaudé estate in France, where the local climate is more suitable for truffles to grow.
During this period, organic fertilizer and soil will be transported from the snowy mountain pastures to provide them with a suitable growing environment, and I want to see what kind of truffles can be grown in the end, but I hope I don't waste my time and energy in vain.
It may take a year or two to see results, so don't expect to eat our own truffles this year......"
Han Xuan's body jolted slightly up and down as the thoroughbred moved forward, and if you wanted to experience their extreme speed, you needed to go to a professional racetrack.
Walking on the seaside road, not far away is the purple sand beach, these two thoroughbred horses are leisurely, and they are in the mood to look up, a few hot air balloons floating in mid-air, colorful colors.
Listening to the old Erna butler sitting in the golf cart, Han Xuan learned that not far from Seventeen Mile Bay, a new club for tourists to ride in hot air balloons was opened, and his tone was regretful, and he said:
"I forgot about it before.
My ranch's resort has hot air balloons, and I should move those projects here, and the number of tourists who come to Monterey Bay is very high, and it's definitely a good profit, and it's a good business. ”
Gabriel couldn't stand it, he laughed and said loudly, "Hey! Little boss!
Do you want to do all the business on Earth alone? Give them a way to live, and I'm sure the investors who opened this club will thank you for it! ”
"Haha! Now it's just small business for you! ”
"The club has an agreement with us, we are responsible for attracting tourists for it, and we will share a portion of the profits.
Hotels, amusement programs, and travel agencies in the vicinity of Seventeen Mile Bay almost all have cooperative relations with us, and it is precisely because of this that I will be too busy to finally call you for help.
The whole seventeen-mile bay is like a huge company now, and the profits generated this year have not yet been counted, but it will definitely not be less.
I don't know about other companies, but I've heard the name of the Gossip shopping site several times.
Some tour operators in Monterey Town have told me that a small percentage of tourists buy packages for the aquarium, zoo and museum directly from shopping sites, which reduces their revenue.
Souvenir shop owners also say that tourists sometimes buy them directly from the Internet to avoid the hassle of bringing them home, and the prices are lower than buying them from the store.
You know, this is just the case in Monterey, it's probably the whole of the United States, if it continues to develop like this, doesn't that mean that one day in the future, all the physical stores may go out of business? What about those people? ”
……
Han Xuan fell silent instantly, his face slightly strange.
Whether it is crooked or not, this question is enough to show that the old Ernner butler has a keen sense of business, and his question is also a problem that many experts are worried about now.
A few years ago, he felt that the development of Gossip shopping network was almost complete, and Han Xuan began to try to move the C2C (person-to-person) model of Taobao in his previous life to the United States after slightly changing it, and indeed achieved certain results.
Miss Olivia, the new secretary of life, is the private owner of the Gossip shopping website, which has just been renamed "BuyFun" is a branch of Gossip, but the equity is completely independent and has little to do with Gossip.
It is using the existing consumer group of the Gossip shopping website to develop its own loyal users, which is certainly not free help, and every year Hope Group needs to pay a large amount of "advertising fees" to Gossip, which is already a listed company, and its own brothers must also settle accounts.
"Buy" means "trading, purchasing" or the like.
"Fun" means "an activity that entertains, enjoys, or makes people happy", and together it means "the pleasure of buying", and when combined, it is also "Tesco", and the name is easy to understand.
At first, no one paid attention to this website, people just thought that the things in it were cheaper than Gossip, but there was not much quality assurance, after all, it was a private online store, and the quality was not necessarily high enough, so they still preferred to buy goods from the official Gossip.
The relationship between them is like JD and Taobao in Huaxia in the previous life, Gossip plays the role of JD.com, and BuyFun is Taobao, and different user groups have different choices.
The number of users of the two shopping sites is rising, and the number of users who use Gossip shopping sites is about 8.3 times that of those who have used BuyFun, which shows that the number of users of BuyFun is growing rapidly.
Hope Group, as well as some companies acquired one after another, can use the same O chat software account to log in, avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble, which is also one of the secret magic weapons used by Han Xuan to bind users, those Internet companies in his hands are far ahead of the industry, and for the time being, they can't see the possibility of being surpassed by other Internet companies.
As industry leaders, the company's every move is watched, and when BuyFun was first founded, people thought it was just another Gossip shopping site, but as it grew larger and more rules, there were experts in the Internet industry who were keen to spot possible problems.
In March this year, Han Xuan had just returned to Cambridge University after his vacation to continue his studies, and a professor came to visit Han Xuan with a copy of the economic model data he had researched and established during the vacation.
The professor expressed concern that the BuyFun shopping site could hit the brick-and-mortar sales industry dramatically in the future, leading to mass unemployment and economic downturn......
