Chapter 731: Millions of Dollars, I'll Take You to Fly
(There is a lot of information to check, and I haven’t finished writing it yet. Refresh it in about 15 minutes and read it again. Don’t read it yet. You can read it when you see that this line is gone. The above.)
Lao Ma was full of confidence at first, and he acted in front of Nan Ming, which made Nan Ming look at him with admiration, but after seeing how Nan Ming abused Charlie Day, he immediately lost his composure.
Different from the various high-end clubs in China that have just started for more than 20 years, in the United States, high-end clubs have experienced a round of prosperity and decline. A century ago, they had already shown signs of decline, and now they have declined to the point where they are almost scumbags. Gone.
The remaining so-called high-end clubs are mainly polo clubs, golf country clubs, and so-called gentlemen’s clubs for pure men. They were bought by Japan in the 1980s and 1990s, and by Koreans around 2,000 years ago. Now, it’s their turn again. The Chinese are buying land and golf courses everywhere in the United States.
Although most of these places lose money, for the Chinese people, these places are cheap. Hundreds of acres of land can be bought for tens of millions of dollars. There is no such good thing in China.
And the members of these so-called high-end clubs are only middle-class and upper-middle class.
In many cases, joining a high-end club is not even a bonus item, but a deduction item. Many politicians have to publicly declare that they have withdrawn from a certain club in order to restore their image in the eyes of the public.
As the so-called aristocrats and old-fashioned rich people gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and the upstarts who are gradually rising from technology and emerging industries, they sneer at those old-fashioned clubs called gentlemen but actually patriarchal clubs, making these clubs more and more popular. The more you lose your vitality.
And modern technology has given human beings more entertainment, more pursuits, more ways of communication, and more convenient ways of arranging their own lives.
As a result, some old-fashioned high-end clubs that mainly rely on information asymmetry to provide so-called high-end services have lost their market.
For example, Charlie Day, whom Nanming met before, provided services such as renting yachts, arranging travel, and even naming planets and stars in the sky with his own name, all of which can be done by just clicking a mouse on the Internet.
Even if you can't finish it with just a click of the mouse, just find a travel company and drop two hundred thousand dollars, and some people will come to help you solve the problem, crying.
Of course, joining a club and letting them handle everything for you sounds very high-level, but in the end, what they use is just the asymmetry of information. What they can do, others can do too, without the slightest core competitiveness.
So, what are the core competencies a club offers?
You can let the Queen of England have dinner with you, this is called core competitiveness.
If you could get the Queen of England to play golf with you, you'd be competitive.
What is scarce, what others cannot do, and what many people want to do, this is the real competitiveness.
...
Lao Ma carefully sorted out all the services that his club may provide, and divided them into three categories: "basic services", "high-end services" and "irreplaceable services". In terms of alternative services, there are very few.
The irreplaceable service of Lazy God Clubhouse, currently, there is only one service that can be opened to the outside world in the United States.
That is the powerful massage bed strengthened by Nanming.
But this is not enough, what irreplaceable service can Lazy God Clubhouse provide?
Moreover, no matter how comfortable the massage bed in the Lazy God Clubhouse is, people who have never experienced it will not feel it. There is no way to quickly attract a large number of members, and they have to find other star items that can attract attention.
After careful consideration, Lao Ma finally gained confidence and went to find Nanming again.
When knocking on the door of Nan Ming's office, what he saw was Nan Ming lazily lying on the soft leather sofa, fiddling with his mobile phone.
"Master, I have something I want you to decide." Lao Ma walked in with a file folder, "I want to use a new trademark for the branch of the lazy God Department in the United States."
"Oh?" Nan Ming got up, a little confused, "Is it necessary?"
For a long time, the symbol of the lazy god system has been the vortex symbol.
However, each branch has its own logo, and will add the swirl logo of the lazy gods to its own logo to indicate its bloodline.
But this is the first time that the logo of the Lazy God Department has been changed.
Lao Ma smiled, and put a few pieces of paper in front of Nan Ming.
Nan Ming lowered his head and took a look, his eyes lit up immediately, he understood.
"The Tree of Order!"
On the paper on the table in front of Nan Ming, there are dozens of abstract trees of order printed in different shapes.
A shining, abstract tree of order, with the words Lazy God Technology and the abbreviation of LT written underneath.
It looks very tall.
"When the tree of order was presented to you, master, I had already registered the trademark of the tree of order, including dozens of trademarks and names that might be confused." Lao Ma laughed.
"Using the Tree of Order as the trademark of Lanshen Technology in the United States and even the Americas should be of great help to the integration of Lanshen Technology into the United States."
"However, you still need to choose the company's new logo." Lao Ma pointed to the dozens of logos in front of him.
Nan Ming looked carefully for a long time, and chose the simplest and most abstract symbol of the Tree of Order.
"In addition, I plan to re-launch a brand in the North American market in addition to the Lanshen Club." Lao Ma said, "The Lanshen Technology background of the Lanshen Club is easier for people to target. If a new brand is launched, at least it can Reduce the rebellious psychology of some people who are prejudiced against Lazy Technology.
Sometimes, people’s resistance psychology is actually very strange. For example, some angry youths clamor to boycott Japanese products all day long, but they don’t know that Master Kong is also Japanese-owned. Almost every camera in their mobile phones is made in Japan. As long as it's not labeled with a Japanese brand.
In fact, many Japanese brands have already been acquired by the Chinese, such as Sanyo's home appliances, but they will still be boycotted...
This move by Lao Ma can be said to be a cover-up, but it will be very effective.
Nan Ming also agreed, just curious: "What brand do you want to use?"
"Redface." The old horse laughed.
Nan Ming's eyes widened, redface?
After the fight with Lao Qi, Nanming thought that he had destroyed Hong Qingyang, and later simply bought Hong Qingyang. Later, when Nanming competed for NONE East Asia administrator, he got Lao Qi's inheritance, completely Controlled its parent company redface, but has not been used.
"Redface is controlled by a secret holding company controlled by us. If we don't conduct a thorough investigation, it has nothing to do with us. We declare to the outside world that it is good to jointly develop the US market with redface." Lao Ma laughed. At the beginning, Nanming was too lazy to control redface. , but now he gave the old horse a good move.
"Redface also has investments in the United States, acquiring four golf courses and taking over a poorly managed country club. Originally, they were ambitious and planned to develop the American market..."
If it hadn't been for Lao Qi's sudden death, maybe redface could really occupy a place in the high-end service industry in the United States.
"In addition to launching the new brand, I have also prepared several measures to attract members." Lao Ma took out the old planning plan and gave it to Nan Ming.
"Travel around the world on the Silence?" Seeing Lao Ma's first plan, Nan Ming's eyes lit up.
"The fastest ship in the world is not one of them. It should be attractive enough to these rich people." The old horse said, "I believe it will attract many people to sign up, but we can only receive ten people at a time. After all, the Silence is not Cruise..."
"For the first batch of ten tickets, I plan to use the method of giving away. I have drawn up a list of ten people. Come and see..." the old horse said, "After my analysis, these people are most likely to accept the gift, go to the Silence If we can satisfy them, we can start the second batch when they come back to publicize..."
"Gift?" Nan Ming smiled, "How can there be such a good thing, take them around the world, and give it to them for free? Don't give it away, we will auction it!"
"Auction?" The old horse was taken aback.
"Bidding auction, ten tickets, each with a base price of one million US dollars, but the first batch of VIPs who boarded the Silence have the right to designate a location, and the Silence will formulate a route based on the location designated by each person , use this route to circumnavigate the entire earth, and the time is controlled within one week." Nan Ming said.
The old horse was tongue-tied, startled by Nan Ming's whimsical ideas.
"Let everyone designate a place? No matter where they designate, we will go?" Lao Ma asked, "What if they designate the South Pole or the North Pole?"
"Go then." Nan Ming said, "If you have any technical problems, you can ask Feng Tianyou to solve them."
"Then if he wants us to take the boat to Mount Everest..."
"Let Feng Tianyou solve it." Nan Ming said.
Lao Ma couldn't help mourning for Feng Tianyou in his heart. His only thought at this moment was that he hoped that no one really had a whimsical idea to climb Mount Everest.
"Where's the moon?" The old horse suddenly asked again.
"Looking for Feng Tianyou... Damn, the moon? Of course it is any place on the earth! And it must be reasonable. If you let me fly above the White House in the United States, you will be responsible for opening up the relationship!"
The old horse took the order and left.
Even if he didn't solve the technical problem, he still had to go to Feng Tianyou first.
It took a few hours to figure out the details, and after everything was clear, Lao Ma and Feng Tianyou redeployed a new page on the "redface" website.
At the same time, Lao Ma began to promote and build momentum everywhere.
"Epic trip, millions of dollars, I will take you to pretend and fly." Such a message was passed on by Lao Ma through various channels.
"The top wealthy club 'redface' cooperated with the technology upstart Lanshen Technology to launch the most shocking epic journey. The first batch of ten tickets will be auctioned from now on. The reserve price is one million US dollars, and you can get to travel around the world on the Silence There are only ten tickets for a week, and those who get the first ten tickets can get a chance to specify a location, no matter where you want the Silence to go, log in to the redface page, enter your auction amount, and Your destination, we make your dreams come true for you."
After this page was launched, Lao Ma was still a little nervous, afraid that no one would come to take pictures, he washed his face, smoked a cigar, then returned to the sofa, opened the page himself, thought about it, and wrote a destination.
"I want to take the Silence to surf in Tahiti and conquer the most dangerous waves in the world." Then entered a reserve price of one million dollars.
"The amount you entered is too low." A prompt box pops up.
The old horse stared wide-eyed, and the webpage had automatically refreshed at this time.
All ten tickets have been sold!
Lao Ma remembered that he only washed his face and smoked a cigar, how much time is there?
He looked at the data on the webpage, and saw these words: "I want to go to Australia to participate in cage diving and get close to great white sharks. My destination is the Neptune Islands..." This person took the first photo. A boat ticket, the price of the first boat ticket at this time is 1.01 million U.S. dollars. "Epic trip, millions of dollars, I will take you to pretend and fly."
