Chapter 825 Prepare to Burn Money in Advance

Although Xiao Fangfang's flight back to Hong Kong was a little later than Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, the three of them went through the security check together.

Li Mu and Dong Ai watched the three of them leave, and the three of them kept turning back and waving their hands until they entered the security checkpoint.

Seeing the three of them go in, Dong Ai turned her head to startle Li Mu, but she didn't expect her to cry with rain, and the tears could hardly stop flowing.

Li Mu couldn't bear to see Yu Xin, so he had to persuade her: "They definitely won't be here for long, it's amazing to endure for two or three months, why are you crying like this."

Dong Ai shook her head and said, "You don't know how difficult Mei Gu's life has been, her family situation, and the circumstances of her parents, siblings, if you understand this, you will definitely think that Mei Gu has been able to get to where she is today is really hard. I didn't expect her to get this kind of disease..."

Li Mu also seems to have heard that Mei Yanfang's family seems to have a history of favoring sons over daughters, fighting for inheritance, and auctioning off her personal belongings. Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed very strange, which makes people sigh.

But Li Mu didn't show it, just said: "The early discovery is a fortune in misfortune, don't worry, it will be fine."

After speaking, Li Mu said again: "If you really want to go to the United States, just apply for a passport and apply for a visa. 3321 has already been on the right track. You have worked so hard for so long, and you should take a vacation for a while."

Dong Ai said: "Passports are easy to obtain, but US visas are said to be difficult, and most of them are said to be refused."

Li Mu laughed and said, "It's simple. I and Muye Technology have both registered companies in the United States. I can send you a business invitation. If you take the invitation to the embassy for an interview, the chances of passing it are much higher."

Dong Ai suddenly became excited: "Really?"

Li Mu said, "It doesn't make sense for me to lie to you."

Dong Ai hurriedly said: "Then I will stick to it for another half a month. When the freshmen of the major schools start to register in early September, I will go to the United States to see Mei Aunt."

Li Mu nodded: "That's right, then I will personally sponsor your travel expenses of 100,000 yuan as a personal reward for you in 3321 for so long."

According to the current overall scale of 3321 and the status of the CEO of Dong Ai, it is reasonable for her to receive an annual salary of several hundred thousand yuan, but she personally controls her monthly salary to 5,000 yuan, which can be regarded as going all out for charity. Li Mu has always I want to find a chance to thank Dong Ai. After all, this 3321 is my golden banner. The better 3321 develops, the more I dare to pretend, but I can at least be less afraid, which means a lot to me.

From this point of view, 100,000 yuan is indeed a bit difficult to come by, but Li Mu made up his mind that when the time is right, he will definitely give Dong Ai a big reward as his thank you gift.

At this time, Dong Ai heard Li Mu say that he would give him 100,000 yuan for travel expenses, and said in surprise: "100,000 yuan travel expenses are too scary! How much money does it take to go to the United States?"

Li Mu said: "U.S. imperialism pursues the supremacy of the dollar, don't bring a little money to go out, and when you arrive at the U.S. imperialist, you will be looked down upon by others. You don't need to worry about air tickets or anything. I will ask Qingya to book it for you and come back. Class, let you lie down comfortably and go to the United States."

Dong Ai couldn't help laughing and said, "Is it a sleeper? Who are you fooling? You think I've never been on a plane before? First class is just a little more spacious, how can you really lie down?"

Li Mu pouted: "You have never been abroad. First class on domestic flights is meaningless. If you want to sit in first class on transoceanic flights, it's not a bit more luxurious than first class on domestic flights."

Dong Ai snorted: "I am an ordinary working class, how can I enjoy the high-end treatment that can only be enjoyed by capitalists like you, I'd better sit in the economy class."

Li Mu said, "It's just that you talk a lot. I won't send you an invitation when that time comes. I'll see what you will do if your visa is rejected."

Dong Ai hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Li, I'm just being polite in front of you. If you want to buy me a first-class cabin, I definitely don't mind going to the United States lying down."

Li Mu deliberately made a smiley face,

Ask her, "How did you get here?"

Dong Ai said, "It was delivered by the convoy arranged by Senior Sister Qingya, and I left one to take me back later."

Li Mu nodded: "Then hurry up and leave."

Dong Ai asked him in surprise, "Aren't you going?"

Li Mu said, "I'm waiting to pick up a friend."

Dong Ai asked curiously: "Pick up Su Yingxue? Isn't it half a month before school starts, so early?"

Li Mu said helplessly, "Why do you gossip so much? Pick up Zhao Kang, my good buddy, do you know me?"

Dong Ai shook his head: "I don't know, from the National People's Congress?"

Li Mu waved his hand: "No, from outside the school, I'm young."

Seeing that Li Mu was not joking, Dong Ai said, "Well, just wait, I'll go back first."

Li Mu nodded.

Just as Dong Ai was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and asked him, "Oh yes, what is Xiaowan busy with recently? Have you come to Yanjing yet?"

Li Mu felt a little guilty. He wondered if Dong Ai was deliberately teasing after listening to Chen Wan talking about her affair with her, so he asked her, "You two have such a good relationship, don't you know if she's here?"

Dong Ai said, "No matter how good my relationship with her is, it's not like you have a good relationship with her."

Li Muxin was even more empty.

At this time, Dong Ai smacked her lips and said, "Actually, I haven't been embarrassed to look for her recently, mainly because she used to always look for me when she came to Yanjing, but I'm always out of town. Wanjing ran to that remote area, she made an appointment with me several times but didn't make an appointment with me recently, I don't know if she didn't come to Yanjing recently, or she was angry with me."

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why don't you call and ask."

Dong Ai thought about it and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it in a few days."

After that, Dong Ai waved his hand: "I'll go first, call me if you have anything."

"goodbye."

Dong Ai left, and Li Mu moved from the departure floor to the arrival floor of the airport. After waiting for another half an hour, Zhao Kang, who had become "Gu Tianle", finally appeared at the exit.

Although Li Mu was wearing a mask, Zhao Kang recognized him at a glance, walked up to the two of them and gave them a high-five, and then walked out in unison.

While walking, Li Mu asked him, "How was your time in the South China Sea?"

Zhao Kang smiled and said, "It's good, but I got a little tanned. My parents like that place very much."

After that, he couldn't help but ask Li Mu, "What exactly is the matter of finding me back? I've been waiting anxiously for several days, and you haven't said anything."

Li Mu said, "I have a big plan to tell you to come back. I don't know how much I can play with this plan right now."

"Such a big thing, are you sure I can be ok?"

Zhao Kang knows Li Mu. So far, Li Mu has never commented on anything like this. Would he be wrong? That's probably really big.

Li Mu said, "You can go up if you are ok. If you are not ok, you have to go up to create the conditions. It doesn't matter if you can't carry it later, just carry it first."

Zhao Kang immediately patted his chest and said, "As long as you speak, as long as I have the ability, I will never frown when I go up the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​​​fire. The only thing I am afraid of is that my ability is not enough, which will hold you back."

Li Mu waved his hand: "Don't worry about this, let's go, go back to the city to find a place to eat, sit down and chat slowly."

...

The matter of opening a chain of Internet cafes has been brewing in Li Mu's mind for a long time. This idea has been continuously improved by him. He also has a perfect 20 version and a more ruthless 30 version.

The reason why it is version 30 instead of version 21 is because the plan of 30 has a qualitative improvement compared to the plan of 20, which has raised the strategic level of chain Internet cafes to a new level.

The two brothers were sitting in the hotel box. Li Mu ordered two bottles of cold beer. After the two drank half a bottle, Li Mu said, "Actually, I called you back this time because I wanted to give you the task of opening an Internet cafe."

"Isn't the Internet cafe already open..." Zhao Kang said, "It's operating very well now."

Li Mu knew that he was talking about the Internet cafe he had asked him to open near the school before. The Internet cafe was opened to launder and sell the money from the legendary plug-in. Now the legend has declined, and the income has become less and less, so Li Mu has not asked any more. .

However, although he also opened an Internet cafe this time with Zhao Kang, it was much larger than the one last time.

So Li Mu explained to Zhao Kang in detail that he wanted to take Shenzhou with him to open a chain of Internet cafes.

Chain Internet cafes first pursue coverage, that is to say, in the future, all cities must be covered, and each city must have at least one, there is no upper limit, as long as the city can afford it, there is no problem.

Secondly, it is the deep integration with Shenzhou. This thing cannot be done by itself. It is necessary to pull people from Shenzhou together, and the future operations must be deeply tied.

After listening to Li Mu's entire project plan, Zhao Kang realized how big a project Li Mu was talking about.

This is a project with a cumulative investment of more than 100 million yuan. If you open a hundred or so Internet cafes, it will cost you almost 100 million yuan. But Li Mu wants to have 500 to 1,000 restaurants. .

Just when Zhao Kang was still digesting the idea of ​​this huge project, Li Mu continued: "What I just told you was just a mature version of 20, but I now have a more mature version of 30, let me know. listen to you."

Zhao Kang is very uncertain, 20 is already very scary, not to mention the 30, 30 version, shouldn't the Internet cafes be opened abroad?

However, although he didn't know what to do, Zhao Kang nodded: "Go ahead, I'll listen carefully."

Li Mu said: "In the 30th edition, I want to bring in big capital, not only to invest in building stores all over the country, but also invest in commercial real estate while building stores."

Zhao Kang was stunned for a moment, then blurted out and asked him, "Didn't you say that the facade used to build the store should also be purchased at your own expense?"

Li Muyi clapped his hands: "Yes, that's what it means!"

Although Zhao Kang didn't have such a perverted way of thinking as Li Mu, but following Li Mu's immersion, his way of thinking about problems has improved a lot. As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, he subconsciously said, "This asset burden will probably be heavier. !"

Opening an Internet cafe is only a few hundred thousand to one million. If you open an Internet cafe and buy all the shops, it will be less than one hundred thousand and hundreds of thousands. At most, it may be two or three million in a big city. , three or four million can not handle.

Seeing Zhao Kang so surprised, Li Mu said with a smile: "It is because of the heavy assets, so we have to pull the big capital to do it together. We first invest money to make a start, make an appearance to show the capital side, and then pull the capital. Fang invests money in and quickly grows bigger, it doesn’t matter if it is heavy on assets, this kind of physical project, the more heavy assets are, the more stable and reliable it will be.”

After speaking, Li Mu said again: "Think about it, if you invest 10 million to build an Internet company, what will the capital be recovered in case of failure? The good ones can recover the hundreds of thousands of cash on the books; the unlucky ones , also took back a batch of second-hand computers; even more unlucky, maybe even the computers could not be taken back;

However, if you invest 10 million to open several Internet cafes? Invest in Internet cafes and buy shops at the same time. If the Internet cafes are yellow, a large number of second-hand machines can recover at least 10-15% of the cost, and at least 50% of the cost of the shops. 100% or more can be recovered. "

Zhao Kang nodded: "It makes sense, but how do you convince those capitalists to invest a lot of money to run this business? Can they see the profit of opening an Internet cafe?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "The overall business model is: Internet cafes are open to make money, and Internet cafes are not open to sell land to make more money. This is a typical McDonald's overseas development model, not to mention that I have also integrated e-commerce. The future of Internet cafes will not only be Serving Shenzhou, it can even serve the entire Taobao electronic product transaction in the future, not only can do pre-sales, distribution, but also help manufacturers do after-sales, which not only saves the future cost of Taobao logistics, but also a considerable profit."

Having said this, Li Mu paused and said, "Although Taobao has a lot of money in its account, once it starts to burn money, this amount of money will not be enough. Taobao will definitely conduct multiple rounds of financing in the future. I can follow up with you first. These big capital parties sign a framework agreement, and those who invest in the chain Internet cafe project first will get the priority of Taobao’s financing, and use Taobao to tie them in.”

"My God, how much money will Taobao burn in the future? You started making preparations so early, isn't there a lot of money in Taobao's account that can be used?" Zhao Kang heard Li Mu talk about it before, and the Taobao account made an inventory. The "account payment" is as high as one billion, and Li Mu can use it at any time. Is such a large capital reserve not enough for Li Mu to burn?

Li Mu smiled slightly. Zhao Kang couldn't understand it. Now including Liu Yingdong and Boss Ma, they didn't understand. They haven't entered the stage of burning money on the Internet. They may not understand why they need to burn money instead of making money. Said that he must be prepared to burn money in advance, and he is ready to burn a lot of money.

How to burn?

It's simple!

When Taobao began to make efforts to improve users' online shopping habits, when Taobao began to face more siege from competitors, Li Mu would likely need to start the money-burning mode to ensure his status as a leader.

At that time, once the competition becomes fierce, the B2C self-operated business may have to operate at a loss, and the C2C business may have to subsidize sellers and buyers, all of which require continuous capital investment.

It doesn’t matter if you lose money or burn money, as long as you can ensure that most of the two businesses are caught in your own hands, it’s worth how much money you burn, and the more you burn, the more you will earn in the future.

All in all, there is only one purpose: to kick out the people who can't afford to burn, drag the people who can't burn into dogs or to death, and finally ensure one's high position, which is the ultimate victory!
