Big stars who came out of football

87 Chapter 87: Ingenuity

Just when the three of them kept looking forward to the future in the office~
The external general manager of [Claire Customized Tour], Nikas Bader, hurried back from the outside.

Claire moved a chair for his future senior enthusiastically when she saw his future senior come in. Nikas Bader's originally dull skin began to glow red in an instant. After all, Claire Lee is now the hottest person in the UK. What a face-saving thing it is for a famous singer to move a stool for him personally!
As for the stars?Nikas Bader disagrees, because Claire Lee has been fishing in the Premier League for three days, and the star who posted on the net for two days has already aroused the dissatisfaction of Manchester United fans, not to mention that he is an American.

But the real reason why the headhunting company persuaded him to come to this company at the beginning was not that Claire Lee was a star or how powerful the company's background was.

There is only one real reason!
That's because capital has taken a fancy to this company. If you want to be optimistic about whether an industry or a company can develop in the next three to five years, it still depends on whether there is capital support.

Coincidentally, this not-so-nice name [Claire Custom Tour] has the blessing of [Google Department] capital.

When Nikas Bader learned that Chen Shijun and Lee Kai-fu both posted a message on the Facebook of [Claire Custom Tour] company's investment of 800 million US dollars.

Nikas Bader finally made up his mind to get a new boss.

However, Claire also gave him enough trust, not only allowing him to give full play to his ideas, but even giving him the right to dispose of funds below 10 pounds at will. You must know that as long as a single fund exceeds 3 pounds abroad, the president is required. Approved by a first-level person.

When Nikas Bader saw Chen Shijun, the legendary figure who has been making troubles in the United States, appear in front of him for the first time today, he still couldn't avoid being excited.

Chen Shijun seems to have a good understanding of the admiration and envy of these various people for him: "Hey! You have performed very well in the company recently. If the financial report data for the first quarter is good, I will try my best to persuade Claire to give you some stock options. of!"

Nikas Bader took a look at Claire Lee before he stood up and bowed to Chen Shijun to thank him: "Thank you for your trust, and I hope [Claire Custom Tour] can have a good future."

Claire Lee nodded in satisfaction when she saw that Nikas Bader could distinguish between the primary and the secondary: "How about the Tesco ticket agency and advertising?"

When Nikas Bader heard the boss asking about business, he immediately took out a contract from his briefcase: "If it weren't for your suggestion, I don't think Tesco would have been able to win the ticket sales business in Newcastle, but when the other party After learning that we would place 50 pounds of store advertising in the Newcastle area, the other party agreed very simply, but the commission was relatively high."

Claire Lee was not surprised to hear Nikas Bader's answer. After all, the four words "spending money to do things" are a principle of life summed up by the ancestors, although no one around him knew Tesco, the largest retailer in the UK. The person in charge, but he sent money to the other party with full sincerity, and the other party could not refuse.

But what Nikas Bader said next immediately made Claire's tooth ache, because he might have to spend money again.

"I talked with the advertising department of Sky TV. If we need to place advertisements for marketing on our website, the other party's quotation is not low at all."

"In fact, both the experience on the website and our own special tourism are very specific, but what you are doing is a cross-border tourism project. Your main tourist traffic in China is attracted by advertisements and Manchester United's reputation in China. Our website has almost no bonus for tourism projects, although you used 1 pound to ask Ronaldo to help us endorse some traffic, but these traffic are only British traffic."

After Chen Shijun heard the question raised by Nikas Bader, Chen Shijun suddenly felt that their annual salary of 40 pounds was not a loss at all, because Claire's core idea was to borrow the pace of Ctrip's development and use "Internet cross-border travel" And the concept of "characteristic commercial football tourism" was launched. Although the concept of characteristic commercial football has been implemented, the "Internet" has nothing to do with this.

Moreover, after the current Internet environment in the United States has experienced a bubble, if your business is not very [characteristic], it is impossible to quickly attract traffic.

So far, the [Claire Custom Travel] website has basically no traffic except for a few [over the wall] traffic, and now Claire Lee is building a company framework and placing advertisements, merging companies, and a series of lawyers and financial consulting After the expenses were spent, there was less than £200 million left on the books.

In fact, Chen Shijun also wanted to know what Claire would do next.

Claire heard what Nikas Bader said. In fact, he summed up his experience that the cost of "purchasing traffic" through "advertising" is too high at this stage. It is very difficult for the company to snatch traffic with its small arms and legs. Although The company is profitable but more depends on the popularity of Manchester United!
But this is indeed the case. Although Claire won the qualification for Manchester United's outfield friendly match this season at a low cost through his uncle's relationship and a series of chances and coincidences, if he continues to sign the contract next season, based on Claire's understanding of horse skinning , he will definitely cut Claire severely.

Thinking of this, Claire couldn't help but secretly pinch her tooth~
The people at the table fell silent immediately, and Ogmondu Ford, the account manager of Merrill Lynch Securities, also took a financial report about the listing of [China Concept Stock Ctrip] and [Hawaii Travel Agency] from the accountant and handed it to Claire.

Claire looked at the two financial reports seriously and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

虽然俩家公司在2006年第三季度流水金额分别是14亿人民币和3.1亿美元，但是就是因为携程网站的交易额单季度破14亿，携程的市值就比【夏威夷旅行社】的估值高了70亿美元，而【夏威夷旅行社】的市值仅仅只有1.6亿美元。

Although it does not rule out that Ctrip is already profitable, Ctrip is backed by the support of the world's seventh largest hotel, and its huge business coverage, but this really speaks to the problems of this era.

The real economy is not as fast as Huli.com economy!

The four people on the table also fell silent for a while, and Claire couldn't help but fell into deep thought as he looked at the newspapers on the table and the coupons he had just ordered for delivery.

Chen Shijun on the side hesitated for a while and said: "Actually, I can still invest more. If you allow, we can go to the United States to see if there are better opportunities."

Claire, however, held the paper coupon sent by KFC with a serious face and fell into deep thought. The few people around saw Claire's appearance and didn't say anything. After all, [Claire's customized tour] is now a serious profit. For the company, it is just that it has not yet decided whether to go in the direction of the Internet or the offline physical store economy.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think if we add a section for receiving coupons on our website?" Claire's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. It's too fast, I was talking about the travel website just now, and now I'm talking about [coupon collection section], no one can accept it.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of people around, Claire was not in a hurry but kept searching on his mobile phone. When he found an American website called [Coupons], he handed his mobile phone to Chen Shijun first. .

Founded in 1998, Coupons.com, the largest electronic coupon website in the United States, was formerly a small [coupon newspaper] that was not popular in the United States.

The concept of giving coupons first appeared in World War I, when Mars Candy, the parent company of Dove Chocolate, published an article in the New York Times [With this newspaper, you can enjoy the activity of buying one and getting one free], "discount The concept of “coupons” emerged.

Coupons are usually only available in print publications, and due to the impact of the Internet, sales of print publications have declined.

Let Coupons.com, a paper media company with a history of 15 years, transform rapidly, allowing merchants to put coupons on the Internet, and canceling the original practice of putting coupons in newspapers.

In fact, the way to get it is very simple, that is, browse the products on the webpage. When you like the product, enter your [email address], and the [discount code] will be sent to your email address.

It’s just that this company is still a simple small coupon website. Because there is no capital injection and blessing, it is very difficult for this website to make a living. The single product and single customer of the website make this company close to giving up.

Chen Shijun, who was browsing the website at the side, asked, "Do you want to make this website to attract traffic to travel websites?"

Claire took back her phone and lowered her head to record the [contact mailbox] of this website. Claire didn't answer Chen Shijun immediately. When Claire finished her work, she turned her head and glanced at Ogmondu Forte seriously: " Do you find it difficult to acquire this website?"

After taking a look, Ogmondu Ford immediately complained: "I can't see any profit point on this website. Although there is still a newspaper, the life of the media is not easy now."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Instead of developing a website, it's better to take over an existing website. After all, you'll lose money!" Claire shrugged her shoulders indifferently. When Claire saw Chen Shijun's surprised expression, Claire immediately told Ogg Mundou Ford added: "Oh, I personally fund this site!"

"I think the traffic problem should be solved, and I have also figured out the positioning of the website, which is to act as an agent for ticketing of major sports events and tourist attractions, because I think this is the only way to quickly develop our website."

"The business is divided into three sections [customized travel] [sports ticket agency] [performance ticket agency] [attraction ticket agency]."

"When our [Customized Tour] project can feed back the website, we will start the second round of financing and win the European and American ticketing markets through subsidies!"

"Third-line development! The travel section of Coupons.com I acquired will launch travel coupons to attract traffic for us. After all, advertising is also for investment, so why not buy it and try it out."

When Chen Shijun heard what Claire said, he immediately recalled. Although there are [ticketing websites] in the UK and the United States, these [ticketing websites] are either unclear in positioning or do not have their [specialized products]. With the influence of Warner Music, it is impossible to successfully go public!
After all, the ticketing market in the United States alone is worth tens of billions of dollars every year!

"If possible, we can also negotiate online ticket purchases with some cinemas in the UK, provided we have a second round of financing!"

Chen Shijun seemed to have opened up the meridians in his body when he heard what Claire said. Thinking of this, Chen Shijun suddenly turned his head and glared at Merrill Lynch account manager Ogmundu Ford, whose eyes were shining.

Ogmondu Ford seemed to realize something, and immediately raised his hands and explained: "Ah, haha, I have a non-disclosure agreement, and the compensation is 30% of the project amount! If your second round of financing is successful, I want to put It may not be enough if I sell it.”

But Claire, who was sitting there, suddenly thought: "It was originally a travel website, but cross-border travel seems a bit redundant in the end!"

When Chen Shijun heard what Claire said, he also "hehe smiled": "Don't worry, if the company can be listed, you can just split the business directly, and you can sell whichever one is not important, but now cross-border travel is still a feature of the website! "

"The technology bothers you?"

"I don't do technology! You do? Well, I'm leaving. The technical revision is very simple! The ticketing interface itself is nothing more than adding a function extension!" Chen Shijun stood up and patted his sweaty butt Excitedly walking towards the outside, only three people with different thoughts remained sitting on the table in silence.

On the contrary, Ogmondu Ford slowly started his work, because Claire just told him to acquire the business of a [coupon] website in the United States.

As for Nikas Bader, he was a little restless, because Claire just changed his job attributes with a casual thought.

"Nicas, you should first gather up the major events in the UK and try to recruit some business personnel to expand the event ticket agency business. As for the traffic, it should be easy to solve. You should try it and start from London. , As for the customized tour, we can't let go, after all, we need a profit plan for the first year, and we still have to rely on special tours!" After saying this, Claire left with a relaxed body, leaving behind only two people who were worried.
