The Age of Rebirth

Although the tour guide has not yet formed written materials, and the casual words are not very logical, but the basic meaning is clear, and Li Weidong also understands it.

Li Weidong looked at this grade as if he was not too old, and his skin tone was close to that of African brothers, but his brain was quite lively, and he was quite a thoughtful little tour guide. He thought it was interesting, and his face naturally showed it.

Tour guides are the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Li Weidong seemed to be a little interested, he quickly organized the language to speak!

If he could make the richest man Li shake his hand, what would leak out would be enough for him to eat for a lifetime.

Also benefited from his usual sense of humor, he has a great talent for comedy, and speaking is instinctive.

"Mr. Li, based on my experience as a tour guide for more than ten years, after tourists leave the station, the biggest problem is finding a place to live, which wastes a lot of time!"

"How old are you? You have more than ten years of experience as a tour guide. You don't even write drafts for bragging, do you?" Li Weihong interjected and asked.

The expression on her face was full of disbelief. She couldn't stop talking about this. The black tour guide was a bit distasteful, but she was too good at talking. From the time they met to now, she hadn't stopped talking, and she was so annoyed.

The tour guide immediately said anxiously: "I just turned 28, I dare not lie to you about this, my parents both work in a travel agency, and I graduated from junior high school and studied in the internal technical secondary school of a travel agency!"

"That's what I learned when I was in school. What can I learn from this stuff in school? I can't stay in class. In addition, there were few people doing this in China at that time, and there was always a shortage of people in the regiment. I didn't take much class, so the master took me to work!"

"It's been [-] years, and I have served as a tour guide for German ministers, the British royal family, black brothers in Africa, and many international friends, and I have also been interviewed by Time magazine in the United States. Group photo!"

As the tour guide spoke, he took out a photo album from the purse he was carrying, and really wanted to show Li Weidong and Li Weihong a group photo of him and what he considered to be the dignified people.

Since it can still be carried with you, it is estimated that it is also a professional need, and you can start to be a model at any time, an international tour guide!
Li Weidong glanced at it casually. The photo album is quite thick, and there are a few familiar faces in it. It seems that this young tour guide is really not bad. If it is too bad, the leaders of China National Travel Service cannot recommend him, and Douban cannot invite him. .

To be able to have this level at the age of 28, and still be able to stand out in state-owned enterprises, in addition to having some connections, you must also have enough ability to hold the field, otherwise you would have died in a conspiracy.

This person may really have something, at least he has a little bit of knowledge about the tourism industry, and he needs to be a bit talented, otherwise he won't have a chance to succeed if he just works hard, at least not at this age.

Li Weidong also had some ideas about this tour guide, since he was idle anyway, he had the right to listen to cross talk.

"Hey, it's not bad, there are celebrities!" Li Weihong joked when she saw that there were photos with the celebrities.

"Of course, I still have many autographed photos of celebrities. Zhou Lanfa and Maggie Cheung have them. Whoever you want, I will send them to you!" The tour guide said casually, but he wanted to slap himself after he finished speaking.

It doesn't matter what the person's status is. Li's richest sister's sister, in ancient times, was at the level of a rich family. If someone wants a celebrity's autographed photo, all they need is a look. Let alone the photo, the celebrity can send it by himself.

"Look at me, I'm digressing, Mr. Li, drink some water and take a rest!" The tour guide smiled awkwardly and continued.

"For example, during the peak tourist season of May Day this year, our company recruited tourists at the station, and most of these tourists asked if there was any place to stay!"

"It was the peak tourist season. No one thought that so many tourists would flood into the capital all of a sudden. Even the few hotels we cooperated with were either full or too far away!"

"In the end, tourists would ask inns, guesthouses, and hotels one by one. Fortunately, I have worked for so many years and accumulated a lot of hotel phone numbers. I can make a call and ask for help!"

"However, those newcomers who have just arrived, or tourists from other places, don't expect such a thing, and they have no preparations, so they can only ask door-to-door!"

"I originally came out to play, but I wasted a lot of time looking for a place to live. Not only did I not enjoy the game, but I was also very sad. I came here because of the reputation, but I left disappointed!"

"When I was leaving, I ran into trouble again. I didn't have a ticket. Some of the more popular lines are hard to get a ticket. I can only ask scalpers to increase the price!"

"I just thought, is there a website that can integrate all these hotels and put the room information, including room type, size, and decoration style, on the Internet, so that you can not only see in real time whether there are rooms available, but also how much the price is. Money, you can also see if you like the room type and decoration style!"

"It not only saves the time to find the room you like, but also allows you to spend more time traveling. The price is transparent, and it also reduces the risk of being ripped off. It's fun and safe!"

"If the various tourist attractions are also integrated and put on the Internet, especially the special attractions in the scenic area, it is estimated that it will attract more tourists!"

"It can also provide the business of ordering train tickets, bus tickets, and air tickets. You don't need to spend your time, and someone can buy the tickets. Wouldn't it be easy!"

"Why does the hotel tell you the number and price of the rooms? How can the hotel adjust the price according to the situation? The price of the hotel has increased, but your website is still the original price. Who will pay for the difference?" Douban asked from the side.

When there are many people, the prices of hotels and inns will definitely increase. This is not only due to human greed, but also to the market economy and the relationship between supply and demand.

"Mr. Zhu, the hotel's price adjustment must be displayed on the website in a timely manner, and the online website should be able to achieve it!" The tour guide said confidently.

He checked information on the Internet for this matter, and also asked friends who are acquainted with software, and it is very simple to implement.

"What if the hotel owner deliberately sets the online price low to attract customers and then raise the price, or charges for other items, what should you do?" Douban still asked this question. In the final analysis, there are still no effective punitive measures.

The tour guide said: "The situation you mentioned will definitely happen, but I think such dishonest people are still a small number. If there are, the website can refuse to continue to cooperate!
"Moreover, a function can be set up. Tourists can rate the hotel on the website and publish it. All tourists who want to book this hotel can see it. If the score is low, the business will naturally suffer!"

"As long as we grow bigger, tourists will be the first to think of us when they want to book a hotel when they go out, and the traffic will increase. People with long-term vision will definitely be cautious and dare not mess around!"

Douban wanted to say something more, but Li Weidong waved him to stop, and asking any more questions would be a dead end.

With such a hotel owner, there are naturally such tourists, and it is impossible for everyone to be satisfied!
Who would have thought that in the future, the high praise on the street will be cashed back, isn't this just to capture everyone's greed for petty gains, in fact, it doesn't take much money to buy people!
And this young tour guide thought of this kind of interaction, which shows that he has thought deeply about it.

To be honest, there is no fundamental innovation in his thinking, at least there is no technical difficulty and innovation, it is not a high-tech, but more of using the Internet as a tool to do things in traditional industries.

"It's a good idea. As a tour guide, you should have heard of Ctrip, right?" Li Weidong asked casually.

The tour guide's face was a little unnatural, but he still said: "I heard that the company just established at the beginning of this year, although it also does online travel, but only changed the telephone reservation to the Internet reservation. What's new, there are no highlights, and there is no focus on the experience of tourists!"

Li Weidong didn't know when Ctrip was established in his previous life, but in this life it was established at the beginning of this year.

A few months later, Li Weidong saw this name on a project invested by a newly established venture capital company. The person in charge of the venture capital company investing in this project was named Shen Peng.

In his previous life, Li Weidong was very familiar with this name, and he couldn't avoid it when he mentioned venture capital.

It's just that I don't know what Li Weidong has changed. The resume of this man named Shen Peng has changed a lot.

He joined the U.S. branch of Anma Capital a few years ago. Because of his outstanding ability and eastern face, he quickly grew into a senior investment manager of the company.

This year, the company has established more than a dozen venture capital firms, and he was fortunate to be selected by Li Weidong to become a partner of a venture capital firm.

After becoming a partner, the first project he invested in was Ctrip. Li Weidong just remembered that the most successful company Shen Peng invested in in his previous life seemed to be Ctrip.

Also because of this investment, he became a partner of Sequoia Capital in China, and has reached the pinnacle of his life since then.

But Li Weidong didn't know that because of Shen Peng's accident in this life, Ctrip, which should have been established long ago, has been stuck in the imagination stage because of the lack of a rich man.

"Then do you know that I also invested in this company?" Li Weidong asked the tour guide leisurely.

"Ah!" The tour guide's complexion changed, and he quickly recovered, but he still said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, I wish I had met you earlier!"

"So confident?" Li Weidong asked again.

"It's a little bit!" The tour guide said poorly, and then explained, "You are a busy person, and you can make millions every minute. In a popular saying, even if there is 100 yuan on the ground, you will not bend down to pick it up. Money is a waste of time, which shows how precious your time is, but you can listen to me talking so much nonsense, I just guessed that there must be a sentence or two of my nonsense, and it is still useful!"

"You are a bit self-aware, knowing that what you are talking about is nonsense!" Douban echoed beside him.

He still knows Li Weidong better, and sometimes when he is in a good mood, he can play chess and chat with the old man in the courtyard next door, and talk for a long time, bickering and playing poor is omnipotent.

So Douban was not at all surprised to be able to listen to the tour guide for so long today. In his opinion, it was just that Brother Li was in a better mood and was just happy.

The two sentences he argued with the tour guide just now were purely for Li Weidong to show, so that Brother Li could have more fun. If he really counted on these few words from the tour guide, Li Weidong would invest some money in him, even if he was killed. Do not believe.

However, what Li Weidong said next surprised him and made him think whether his foreign fast food restaurant can also engage in Internet strategy and come up with some gimmicks.

"It's indeed something new, at least better than the current Ctrip. If I could have heard what you said earlier, I might really invest some money and see what you can come up with!"

When the tour guide heard Li Weidong's words, his face froze and his heart turned cold. According to normal logic, the following should be reversed, and Li Weidong couldn't say it.

Such a good opportunity, just missed it. It is said that there are thousands of roads in the night. Get up early to sell tofu. The ancients do not deceive others!

If he could write what he thought in his mind into words one day earlier, and give it to Li Weidong's venture capital company one day earlier, maybe Ctrip's opportunity would be his.

"Are you married?" Li Weidong didn't continue, but asked instead.

"Married? No, no!" The tour guide didn't know what Li Weidong meant by asking, but he said it honestly.

"Are you interested in changing jobs?" Li Weidong nodded and asked with a smile.

"Not in the capital?" The tour guide guessed.

"Shanghai City!"

"You can leave today!" The tour guide immediately stood up straight and said.

The job introduced by the richest man in the world, there is no need to hesitate. As for Li Weidong asking him whether he is married or not, in the eyes of this tour guide, it is simply superfluous.
The Ctrip mentioned just now is in Shanghai. Li Weidong said this at this time, and his intention is self-evident.

"Think about it, you are now an iron rice bowl. If you change jobs, you will not have this kind of treatment. If you don't do well, you will have to pack up and leave!" Li Weidong reminded.

"Chairman, you are joking, where is there any iron rice bowl, even if there is one studded with diamonds, it will not be able to resist your golden mouth!" The tour guide said complimentingly.

"Give him a call from Shen Peng, and let Shen Peng look at arranging a job for him at Ctrip. If you can, keep it, or if you can't, just drop it!" Li Weidong turned his head and said to the secretary next to him.

Li Weidong didn't ask the tour guide's name the whole time. Although the tour guide introduced his name at the beginning, Li Weidong didn't remember it.

Chen Jun said: "Yes, Chairman!"

Then he said flatteringly: "The chairman's vision has always been very accurate. If you can look twice more, there must be something extraordinary!"

"I look at you so many times every day, why haven't I noticed anything special about you, why don't you introduce yourself?" Li Weidong said jokingly.

Chen Jun's face was a little embarrassed, but he also knew that this was Li Weidong's teasing remarks, and his boss always said whatever he wanted.

Li Weidong didn't wait for Chen Jun to say anything, so he stood up and looked around, and the tour guide hurriedly followed, and introduced the details here in detail, speaking much more vigorously than before.

A day is quite long, but for tourism, it goes by very quickly, especially with such a funny tour guide talking non-stop.

When Li Weidong returned to the hotel with a few unfinished children, he saw a few acquaintances walking towards him as soon as he entered the lobby of the hotel.

Looking at these familiar faces, Li Weidong thought to himself, bad luck!
