Chapter 3020 Differential Treatment
On the top floor of Jiasheng Holiday Hotel, Feng Yiping stretched out comfortably while looking at the high-rise buildings beside the sparkling Victoria Harbour. On such a day, being able to bask in such a warm sun can only be described in one word, "Cool!"
But downstairs, some users were quite unhappy. A Cantonese-speaking traveler asked the girl at the front desk very unhappily, "Why is the actual check-in price of the person in front 80 Hong Kong dollars lower than mine?"
Generally speaking, people who stay in five-star hotels don't care about these tens of dollars, but looking at the person who just checked in and dragged a big suitcase, judging from his words, he was definitely a traveler from the mainland. This local customer felt a huge unfairness.
It has nothing to do with how much money you have. This is not about money. This is... discrimination!
Or discrimination against locals!
So he asked angrily, "Just because they are from the mainland?"
He slammed his ID and wallet on the counter, "I want to complain!"
With the comprehensive improvement of the mainland in all aspects, in recent years, the problem that was originally only a minor problem has, to a certain extent, deteriorated.
Originally, any business, facing such a problem, would be very cautious, just like the American people facing racial discrimination, especially discrimination against black people. Holiday Inn, a company under the group that is a hot topic like Jiasheng, should be more cautious. However, facing this aggressive guest, the girl at the front desk was not at all flustered.
"Sir," she explained in a casual tone, "Because they used JA pay to scan the code to pay, because of the promotion that started at the beginning of the month, his payment received a subsidy of 50 Hong Kong dollars from the merchant,"
"At the same time, because he booked on Jiasheng Tongcheng, he received a subsidy of 30 Hong Kong dollars from the website,"
The unhurried professional smile on her face clearly said that this matter had nothing to do with us, "Should we help you check in now, or talk about it later?"
After hearing what the front desk said, several people around them immediately showed joy on their faces.
But they soon sighed with some regret.
The user handed over the certificate with a cold face without saying a word. Of course, who doesn't know how difficult it is to book a room in this hotel at this time?
The reason why it was difficult to book was not because of the holiday, the New Year's Day holiday was over.
Mainly because, who doesn't know that Feng Yiping is currently living here?
Those guys around who couldn't book a room were waiting for users like them who had already booked to cancel their stay and free up the room.
A user behind immediately asked with a smile about scanning the code to pay.
This matter is simple to say.
Speaking of it, Feng Yiping overestimated his influence and arrangements. As a result, Paulson's trip to Hong Kong did not achieve the desired results, and their proposal to invest in Octopus finally came to nothing.
It didn't matter if it came to nothing. They quickly launched JA pay, which was already prepared, which is Jiasheng Alipay, and is currently in the promotion period.
In such a promotion, the company under its own umbrella naturally has to take the lead.
From the perspective of promotion, the small dispute caused by the customer just now is a good thing, because it successfully made many guests behind start scanning the code to download this kind of payment tool that can bring benefits.
No one would not care about such benefits when they know it clearly.
…………
On the top floor, Wu Qian reminded Feng Yiping, "Mr. Xu and his team are here,"
Feng Yiping expanded his chest, "I'll be down right away,"
Of course, he went to Hong Kong this time not for vacation, but because the 2011 annual summary meeting was held here.
The executives attending the meeting had a very clear understanding that he finally chose to hold such a meeting here. It was not because the boss had become generous, nor because everyone's work in 2011 was exceptionally outstanding, but mainly because it was warmer here!
He walked into the meeting room, and several people who were originally sitting stood up, "Mr. Feng,"
"Please take a seat, everyone," Feng Yiping pressed his hand down and sat next to Lao Ma.
"First of all, I want to thank everyone in the Thai company for their work last year," he said, looking at the two middle-aged men and women who were also wearing suits but were different from Xu Bin, Gao Zhiyi, Wu Qian and others next to them, "Thank you, Mr. Wu and Mr. Li, for your work last year."
This man and woman are the two heads of the Thai company. Deng Ren is responsible for the hotel and other businesses, and Ms. Li Ying is mainly responsible for the convenience store business, etc. - Deng Ren and Li Ying, these are the Chinese names they deliberately chose.
The reason for choosing local people as responsible persons is of course to have better development in the local area.
Above the two of them, Yang Huajie, the general manager of the group in the Thai market and Gao Zhiyi's successor, is Xu Bin's former deputy. He still reports to Gao Zhiyi who has returned to China.
Gao Zhiyi is currently the main coordinator for the overseas expansion of various companies in the group.
"Especially the outstanding performance of the two during the great flood last year," Feng Yiping said, "Huajie told me that it was because of their outstanding work that our losses were minimized."
The great flood he was referring to was the flood in Thailand that lasted for several months since the end of July last year. This huge flood affected most cities in southern Thailand, including the capital Bangkok.
Many streets in Bangkok turned into rivers, and people had to abandon their cars and take boats to travel.
During this process, the hotels and convenience stores under Jiasheng inevitably suffered considerable losses due to flooding.
During this process, the two local Thai executives fully mobilized resources from all aspects to recover considerable losses for the company when the flood spread, and in the process of post-disaster claims, they also won a lot of benefits for the company.
The two hurriedly stood up, looking like they wanted to put their hands together, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Feng,"
"Please sit down, both of you," Feng Yiping said gently.
The advantages of locals are huge, especially the use of rules outside the rules.
"Youjia's expansion in Thailand and its achievements in recent years are obvious to all, but I hope that this year we can further increase our efforts and strive to improve our layout in major cities in Thailand at the fastest speed," he began to arrange tasks.
"We will definitely try our best," Li Ying immediately stated.
Feng Yiping nodded, "My idea is to let Youjia's company in Thailand go public in Thailand in the next two to three years at most,"
This immediately made Gao Zhiyi and others' eyes light up. Youjia is also going to go public?
"I think the best internationalization is actually localization in the country where we are located. Therefore, listing locally, rather than in China or the United States, is easier to gain the trust of users in that country, and it is also beneficial for us to give back to local users,"
"Of course, this also includes our employees,"
Among those present, only Lao Ma may know best that this is actually a decision made by Feng Yiping to reduce the harm caused by possible force majeure.
After Feng Yiping raised this issue, the following meeting was always shrouded in a joyful atmosphere. The relevant executives were very clear that this decision would bring huge benefits to the company, especially to themselves.
The only discordant voice came from Fan Hai, the head of the travel company, "I also appreciate the development of the Thai company last year, but I think there are still areas that can be improved,"
Although he was making suggestions, he was always smiling, and it seemed that he was asking for help.
In fact, he was seeking help. "The travel company hopes that all Thai companies, whether hotels or convenience stores, can give more care to the travel company."
"If possible, we hope that from the hotel's welcome ceremony to other assistance after check-in, the treatment enjoyed by the travel company's tourists can be different and unique."
"If this can make other travelers who stay in the hotel feel that it is best to join the tour group of Jiasheng Travel next time they go to Thailand, it would be great."
"Mr. Fan, in this regard, the cooperation between the companies has been good enough," Yang Huajie, the general manager of Jiasheng Thailand, said immediately.
"Of course, but there is room for further improvement," Fan Hai smiled.
Everyone looked at Feng Yiping.
"In coordinating the relevant issues, I mean, Mr. Fan, you can't let other companies provide more special services to the travel company for free,"
This made Deng Renfu Li Ying and others nod their heads repeatedly, and Yang Huajie was the same. Brothers must also settle accounts clearly, otherwise, he, the general manager of the Thailand region, will not be able to coordinate.
"Of course," Fan Hai expressed very straightforwardly.
"If we can coordinate this issue, I agree with Mr. Fan. Isn't the purpose of our involvement in so many industries to give each company a greater comprehensive advantage?"
Lao Ma also said, "This is exactly the advantage that the ecosystem we have established should play,"
"Of course, we should treat our brother companies differently,"
Feng Yiping also nodded. This is something that can be said loudly and confidently anywhere.
This theme actually runs through the following meetings. When meeting with companies related to the content department, it was Feng Yiping who took the initiative to warn them that all products launched should focus on our culture and our sense of responsibility...
But at the same time, "Overall, we should better establish our internationally neutral image internationally, rather than deliberately creating certain emotions to make the company do something that will be exciting in the short term, but will damage our continued operation in the long run,"
He believes that everyone can fully understand this.
In business, some degrees must be fully grasped. Inciting some emotions may get good results for a period of time, but in the long run, it is not conducive to market development.
In this regard, some companies have had many negative lessons before, such as what some companies did when resisting acquisitions by foreign companies.
"But in some aspects, when making works related to the invasions we suffered in modern times, we must have a very clear tendency and not spend space trying to show the goodness of those invaders,"
"We don't need it!"
"At the same time, we must increase our support for anti-Japanese films and TV series,"
While taking notes, Lao Ma felt sorry for his former partner Mr. Sun. If you knew that Feng Yiping had such a character, would you have secretly planned those actions against him?
Mr. Sun is no longer as glorious as he was in the past.
Because Yahoo had no improvement, in order to repay the high-priced acquisition financing, he had to sell some of SoftBank's core assets, and some of them were controlled by the funds set up overseas by Feng Yiping.
Although he felt that Mr. Sun, who had a strong gambling habit, might not recover from the fall, but from the perspective of what happened between him and Feng Yiping, he really knew that this was the case, so why did he do it in the first place.
One of the reasons why Mr. Sun did so much in the first place was that he did not want Feng Yiping’s company to use a better platform to enter his core market of Japan. As a result, he had to sell his core assets to Feng Yiping without any choice. Yiping - Lao Ma believes that Mr. Sun will not be unaware of who is behind some of the companies he takes over.
When he came to the roof to rest again, he couldn't help but ask Feng Yiping, "I'm curious about one more thing. Why do you never go to Japan?"
Over the years, Feng Yiping has visited many countries in the world, but he has never set foot in Japan.
Although there, many of his companies, including Facebook, have made great progress. For example, in the third quarter of last year, Facebook defeated local Mixi and Gree and became the most popular social networking site in the area. software.
Feng Yiping said without thinking, "I just want to keep some of my emotions pure."
"You know, many people who go there feel that it is a friendly place, but I always think that they, on the whole, do not deserve such comments,"
Lao Ma shook his head, "You are really a resolute angry young man!"
"It's their own actions that give people like me the soil to grow," Feng Yiping said bluntly.
Lao Ma had nothing to say for a moment.
Wu Qian came over with her mobile phone, "The concierge still wants to confirm the time of the meeting,"
Feng Yiping shook his head, "I haven't had time in the past few days,"
Lao Ma couldn't help but shook his head again. He didn't even cooperate with the meeting proposed by the person. You are so awesome!
"Have Mr. Xiong and the others arrived?"
"It's already here," Wu Qian said.
"Let's go," Feng Yiping pulled Lao Ma, "This is a company with great development prospects for us in the future."
“I know, why don’t Ikea get down,” Lao Ma said.
"Hey, it's hard to say that," Feng Yiping laughed, "We just want to provide better products and services to more users,"
…………
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Ma," Xiong Yuliang, a tall and beautiful woman, came up to him happily with a loud voice.
Lao Ma knew it at a glance, which meant that Meijia had done a good job.
Of course, all the company leaders attending the meeting were like this, because everyone did well in 2011.
"Hello, old Xiong," Feng Yiping patted Xiong Yuliang's shoulder heavily and shook hands with his team members one by one, "Everyone, please take a seat."
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Ma," Xiong Yuliang was about to introduce Meijia's work results last year when Wu Qian suddenly stood up, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiong,"
"Yiping, I just received the news that Elpida just declared bankruptcy,"
ps: I won’t split it up, this is the big chapter for today.
