Chapter 622: A Rabbit Doesn’t Eat Grass Near Its Nest

Ordinarily, Fan Wubing's answer was equivalent to explaining the problem. He would not change his nationality.

But the annoying guy continued to ask sharply, "Mr. Fan, does your country refer to China, the United States, or some other country? This is an inaccurate term and cannot answer my question. The problem."

Fan Wubing really hated this guy at this time. Generally speaking, no one would question the boss of a multinational group in such a public place, because this kind of question is very sensitive.

As a multinational group, it needs to carry out economic activities in various countries around the world. The direction of its development is generally closely related to the nationality of the boss. Therefore, the commonly used method on this issue is to be vague and unclear. Be willing to speak too clearly.

But being asked this question suddenly in front of a large audience was naturally a bit embarrassing. Who knew that answering this question would cause unnecessary disputes in other areas?

Everyone around looked at Fan Wubing quietly. Even Boss Zhu stopped and looked at Fan Wubing with a somewhat unclear attitude. Apparently he had some considerations of his own in his heart.

Fan Wubing stared at the guy, frowning for a while, and then said sarcastically in a sarcastic tone, "This reporter is so strange, why would he ask me such a simple question? Motherland, motherland, naturally It’s the country where your ancestors are. If you insist on asking me which country this motherland is, do you mean that you have completely forgotten where your ancestors are?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue immediately applauded. They also expressed great agreement with Fan Wubing's answer, and looked down upon the reporter who jumped out of nowhere.

Of course, the reporter also felt uncomfortable. He originally wanted to defeat Fan Wubing, but he didn't expect that Fan Wubing kicked the ball back generously. Instead, he looked like he was forgetting his ancestors. It was really... He was so embarrassed that he could not help but run away in despair.

Even Boss Zhu couldn't help but come over and praise him, "Okay, this explanation of the country where the ancestors are from is indeed quite insightful. That guy has bad intentions, and he brought it on himself."

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "I don't know where they came in. They are just looking for trouble. At first glance, they are not reporters from a serious media. Although we can't get involved in the censorship of news media in Hong Kong, But if you want to go to the mainland for interviews, you still have to have some regulations. In a meeting of this size, you can't just let everyone in, you still have to treat them differently. "

Fan Wubing said this with some resentment. Although Boss Zhu did not reply directly, he told the secretary next to him, "Go and see what's going on.

"

Naturally, the secretary needs to find out the situation from the organizer. A young reporter like this who is ignorant of the general situation will naturally lose his access to future activities no matter where he is managed. This is considered a small thing. discipline.

However, during the following banquet, Fan Wubing discovered that many bosses from the entertainment industry came, especially from Hong Kong, where several powerful figures came, such as the Eagle Emperor, The heads of film and television companies such as Huaxing, Huanya, Huanyu, Meiya and other film and television companies were present.

China Star Group is a listed group founded by a vice president of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association. It has the global exclusive rights to movies and TV series produced by multiple film companies, and the agency rights to a number of independent production companies. As the only audio-visual product supplier in Hong Kong with large-scale film production and national audio-visual product wholesale and retail capabilities, China Star has established its status as a world-renowned Chinese film production and marketing kingdom, and signed the largest purchase agreement with Satellite TV in the history of Hong Kong television. piece agreement. In addition, China Star Company is also a Hong Kong entertainment media company that cooperated with the company at the same time.

But when Fan Wubing met the boss of Huaxing Group, he was still a little surprised, because this man started his career in the underworld. Even now, he has been involved in underworld. He can appear in such an occasion. Fan Wubing was indeed a little surprised.

As for the other Eagle King Company, Fan Wubing was too lazy to talk to him. The boss of this company was said to be a bit of a beast, and many of its female artists were coerced and managed by him. Later, the pornographic photos incident was leaked, and The company's reputation was getting worse and worse, so Fan Wubing just glanced at him and didn't even bother to take the business card he offered, so he turned around and started chatting with a girl who came over to talk to him.

The boss of Eagle Emperor felt frustrated, and naturally felt very unhappy in his heart. He was famous in Hong Kong and could be considered a tycoon in the entertainment industry. Even though there were still people with enough background behind him to control the situation, However, the Eagle Emperor still has the final say on specific affairs, so he has always been sought after by others.

This time, he was obviously very annoyed when Fan Wubing ignored him. However, he also knew that Fan Wubing was very powerful. Even the then Hong Kong Governor had to show respect to Fan Wubing respectfully. What does this person in the entertainment industry mean?

To put it bluntly, if people are willing, they can kill several people of their own caliber casually, not to mention whether they have the ability to face off against them. That's all nonsense.

It's better not to mess with such a big shot.

However, the Eagle King boss was also a little surprised. It seemed that he had never had any grudges with Mr. Fan, right? Why was he so unfriendly to him?

He thought about it. The impact of the recent Southeast Asian financial crisis has not been eliminated. The film and television market in Hong Kong has shrunk very seriously. Although Eagle King, which has just entered the film and television industry, is financially strong, if it wants to achieve further development, it must promote the market outward, and the choice is naturally the big six market.

If the Hong Kong media wants to successfully enter the big six market, they cannot ignore the most famous New Silk Road Entertainment Company in the big six entertainment circle. This entertainment company has a very close relationship with CCTV. If they can get on this line, Eagle King’s strategy to enter the mainland entertainment market will be the most important step. The next step is the problem of market operation.

But if you want to get on the New Silk Road Entertainment Company, you need to see the face of Mr. Fan Wubing Fan. After all, he is the big boss behind the New Silk Road Entertainment Company.

Although ordinary people don't understand this kind of thing, people in the circle are clear about it, especially since the political resources behind Fan Wubing are so rich and powerful, and his father is a member of the Politburo, and he holds a lot of power, so his influence is even greater.

Since the boss of Eagle King is determined to develop the mainland entertainment circle market, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to curry favor with Fan Wubing, but why is he unwilling to pay attention to him? This fact made him feel very depressed, and he had no interest in dealing with those second- and third-tier celebrities who heard of Eagle King's reputation and wanted to enter their company for development all night.

"Hello, President Fan." Someone greeted Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing was chatting with a young female film star who had some influence in China when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was the Internet economy enthusiast who had made an impassioned speech on the stage in the afternoon. So he smiled and said, "Oh, hello. My mind was a little confused in the afternoon, and I forgot to ask you for a business card."

"Ha, my last name is Zhang, Zhang Kan." The other party handed over a business card and introduced himself, "I have also developed a strong interest in the Internet economy recently, so I am working on a travel website. Because I know that you, Mr. Fan, have a big business, I want to learn some experience. I hope Mr. Fan will not hesitate to give me some advice!"

"Travel website, this is more promising." Fan Wubing said with a smile.

When he heard that he wanted to work on a travel website, Fan Wubing thought of Ctrip.com directly. At that time, Ctrip.com had not yet been established.

Ctrip.com first negotiated cooperation with many hotels across the country, which basically meant that hotels would hand over their vacant rooms to Ctrip at a very low discount price. Because hotels have off-seasons and peak seasons, hotels are willing to hand over some rooms to Ctrip for management, so Ctrip got rooms with lower discounts. Then it negotiated cooperation with major airlines, and the model was the same as above, and also got discounted air tickets lower than the public.

In this way, it achieved large-scale procurement and reduced a lot of costs.

Downstream consumers will certainly be welcomed by booking rooms and air tickets on Ctrip.com because it is cheaper than buying them by themselves and does not require much effort.

In this way, Ctrip.com has a growing passenger flow. Finally, the more passenger flow, the stronger the bargaining power with hotels and airlines, the lower the cost of Ctrip.com, and the more passenger flow, the more revenue there will be to promote Ctrip to promote consumer consumption, and gradually form a virtuous circle.

As China's leading comprehensive travel service company, Ctrip.com later provided a full range of travel services including hotel reservations, air ticket reservations, vacation reservations, business travel management, preferential merchants and travel information to more than 10 million registered members, and more than 5,000 member hotels at home and abroad are available for reservation. In addition, Ctrip.com's vacation market provides nearly 1,000 vacation routes, covering many destinations at home and abroad, and provides vacation services to more than 10,000 people every month.

Therefore, when Fan Wubing heard that Zhang Kan was working on a travel website, he couldn't help but praise him, because this business is indeed more promising. After all, most people who are willing to travel are willing to spend money to enjoy life, and the return rate is very high. Making this money is a long-term stream.

Zhang Kan smiled at Fan Wubing and said, "Mr. Fan, you don't seem to like Mr. Yang of Eagle King."

"Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. I don't like people like him." Fan Wubing looked at the back of Mr. Yang of Eagle King with some contempt and said to Zhang Kan.
