Coquettish Rebirth

"Our earliest idea was to make money through government outsourcing." Tommy Herman, who was named by Jia Hongjian, introduced it in the internal meeting of Holmes Company.When he said this, Jia Hongjian was taken aback for a moment, what?Government outsourcing?Brother, are you awake?Do you have a head on your neck because it looks taller?please!Government outsourcing?The government is going to pay for it, okay?It has never been a difficult thing to let others take money out of their pockets!Especially for bureaucratic institutions like the government!

Of course, the local government in the United States is relatively better, but even if it is good, it can't be said that there is no bureaucracy at all?This local government can't be said to be a public servant of the people?Let's think about it from a different angle. Don't think of local government officials in the United States from the perspective of parents and officials. Let's treat them as local branches of a large company.As for the local branch, it is just like China Telecom or something. It is fighting on its own. It does not mean that it will be implemented unconditionally after a negotiation with the central government, but it must be discussed with the local branches one by one.

So, let's talk to such a big company about making it easier for their customers to pay, and it still requires them to invest a huge amount of money in the construction of such a project. How likely are these local companies to agree?Jia Hongjian's conservative estimate...is zero!That's right!Although on the surface it seems that making it easier for customers to pay is something any business should be happy to do, because it reduces the cost of consumption for customers, right?In this way, customers should be more inclined to adopt our company's services, right?But the problem is.The local government is not a fully competitive market!It can even be said that there is no competition!

For example, we were fined for parking indiscriminately.Why does the local government make it easy for us to pay fines?To put it bluntly, do we dare not pay?Even if you are far away in the world, you have to pay, dear!Therefore, if the local government does not spend a penny, people may have to think about whether it is too much trouble, whether it will cause trouble for themselves, and consider whether to agree. Now let the other party vote The money comes, does the other party think we are full?

This is true in China, and it is also true in the United States.It's like all kinds of bonded behaviors.If as a worker or something.Then when you get your salary, it will be deducted directly, and if you open a small shop or something, you have to file your own tax return!And the U.S. Taxation Service is the unit with the highest combat effectiveness in the United States!Who dares to try tax evasion!The leader of the largest underworld society in the United States, the guy who dared to fight with submachine guns and grenades to grab the territory.The guy that the police station didn't dare to move at all.That's because Leng Neng was caught by the tax bureau and thrown into prison for tax evasion!For the tax office.Who in the United States dares not to bond honestly?who?Stand up and let the uncle of the tax bureau take a look?Even if it is not convenient to file tax returns, how many people in the United States dare to go to bonded honestly?Now it is enough to build things that are convenient for ordinary people to bond, and you still want the tax bureau to pay for it?Are you going crazy?The IRS has always collected money.When did you take it out?Even if you have to pay, it is the so-called tax rebate, just less!

It seems that Tang Heman also knew that his idea was too unreliable, so he went on to say at this time: "But after we talked about a few companies, we found that it was really difficult to talk about, so we thought of a new plan , is the partner’s plan. In short, we raise funds through venture capital and IPO, and we are fully responsible for the initial investment, helping the US government departments to build a full set of front-end and back-end software, and even match the system with them, for example, to connect with databases such as the online license plate purchase system developed by ibm for the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles. Based on this, we have proposed a set of solutions, that is, every Individuals who pay the fee, in addition to paying the government agency money according to the price, need to pay us an additional $5 as a handling fee, and this method allows us to recover the investment..."

kindness?When Jia Hongjian heard this, his eyes lit up.He found that this idea was much smarter than the one just now, at least he knew how to keep the government from paying for it!Moreover, actions such as charging some service fees sound quite reasonable—it seems that Jia Hongjian subconsciously thought that their website should be shared with the government. After all, Shanghai has long had the convenience of being at the gate of the community in the future. The store can pay for water, electricity, gas, etc.Just take the bill and let them scan it, and then pay according to the bill. They don't charge too much money, and the convenience store finally shares with the utility company.So Jia Hongjian subconsciously thought that he wanted to share with the government, but after thinking about it carefully, even if the government is a local government in the United States, it is impossible to have such a discussion!For local governments in the United States, oh, a person who parks illegally is fined 50 dollars. For example, if this system is not established, that person will have to pay a fine of 50 dollars honestly, and the entire government will pocket it.As a result, if such a system is established, $50 of the $3 that originally went to the government will go to someone else?Why?Is this a compromise for the government?

So at that time, Jia Hongjian was curious about what these two people wanted to do!That's why he asked the two people to make a "confession" in front of the middle and high-level managers when they formally joined the Sherlock Holmes Company, explaining clearly the details of their entrepreneurship. This can be regarded as satisfying everyone's curiosity and letting everyone Get more experience.

However, after hearing the idea of ​​asking the common people to pay extra, although his eyes lit up, he still shook his head secretly.Come on, ordinary people in the United States are also ordinary people. For the absolute majority of farts, money is always valuable!If the American middle class were willing to spend money to hire someone to mow their lawns, they would not have to do it themselves, and there would be no so-called DIY that is popular in the world, okay?The DIY in the United States means that the middle class has no choice but to do it themselves in order to save money!The middle class are all so stingy, make them pay an extra five dollars or something to pay bills online?please!After careful calculation, if you pay a fine for driving a car on a rest day, the gas cost is not even five dollars, okay?Why do people have to use this website?Burning too much money?

Just when Jia Hongjian was thinking this way, he only heard Tang Heman said at this time: "When we signed contracts with more than 60 local governments in the United States, we didn't realize that although there were exclusivity in the contracts, terms, but the penalty for breach of contract is not serious, or to be precise, almost none. Then soon, after our company's technology theft, a company called ezgov, which is [Simple Government] or [Simple Government Affairs] appeared They quickly snatched our share, because they proposed the same plan as us, and in addition to giving all the due payment to the government, they are also willing to distribute the $5 extra charged for each order to the local government Two dollars, so soon our contracts were torn up, after ezgov company promised to pay for breach of contract penalties for many local governments, many local governments chose to accept their contracts..."

Oh, let me go, this ez company is interesting!This approach is really like the rush of Chinese companies to grab business!To be honest, at this moment Jia Hongjian really started to wonder if the boss of the ez company was of Chinese descent!However, he is not allowed to think for a long time, because he will soon come to the point where he will give advice—since the two younger brothers have entered the company, and Holmes will also set up a new department for them, then this future How to operate the new department and what the overall goal is, this still needs to be ordered and planned by Jia Hongjian!

This model is actually not very in line with the rules of American companies, but who made the top executives of this company almost all Chinese?Jia Hongjian himself is the founder, and the foundation and route of the entire Sherlock Holmes Company were planned by him.Then the company's general manager or CEO, that is Ye Jing, is Jia Hongjian's girlfriend, and then a series of executives are poached by Jia Hongjian himself, which is equivalent to Jia Hongjian's deputy and subordinate.So, under such circumstances, when Jia Hongjian, the chairman, came to plan the route, how many people in the company dare not listen and dare to question?Not to mention anything else, Jia Hongjian now has almost an absolute majority of seats on the company's board of directors!Unless other shareholders feel that Jia Hongjian's policies have affected their profits, and then sue the court to forcibly impeach Jia Hongjian, there is basically no way to deprive Jia Hongjian of his power!

At this moment, Jia Hongjian coughed and roughly organized the words in his head. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly realized something in his head.Then he was stunned for a few seconds, and when everyone looked at him curiously, he finally spoke—"From now on, our Sherlock Holmes Company will also take the road of e-government, even in addition to e-government, For example, the payment of people's livelihood, including water, electricity, coal, network fees, cable TV fees, and even telephone bills, etc., we have to make online payments, and everyone should have heard of this. Specific things I won’t say more, now let’s talk about the model that everyone is most concerned about. Just like what Tommy said just now, they have tried the partner model and the outsourcing model, and found that none of them work. Then we Sherlock Holmes How should the company go? I personally think that we should follow a new era of Internet-specific model, which is to build a platform for free, rely on almost zero consumption costs to attract popularity, and then rely on popularity to make money... To put it simply, it is We don’t charge fees from ordinary people, but we persuade governments all over the United States not to put the payment portal on their official homepages, but to pay only through us Sherlock Holmes..."

What?Pay only through Holmes?This is equivalent to hijacking the network entrance!This flow of people will definitely come directly to Holmes' company!Then hang up a few advertisements...even internal product advertisements on the Sherlock Holmes online shopping platform. With the promotion of internal products, the Holmes Company can actually make money!This, this, this... This idea is too crazy! (To be continued..)
