Kunming, who will you forget tonight

Chapter 291 Selling Tour Guides
I took the phone and said to Zhuo Lan: "The reason why I want to build a travel website is because of our personal experience this time. We failed to contact a familiar tour guide in advance, which made our trip not pleasant at all, but very tiring. If we If you can choose a tour guide online, will you be able to avoid such a situation?"

"I want to make a website that sells tour guides, imitating the form of Taobao. As a tourist, Lan Lan, if you want to travel to Kunming, you will first log in to the website, and then enter the time and specific date you want to travel to Kunming. When you come, you need to play for a few days, when you leave, how many people are there in a group. After entering the information, the second page will pop up, and there will be a group of photos and introductions of tour guides. You choose a tour guide that you think is suitable, Then chat with the customer service, tell the customer service about your needs, the customer service will then communicate with the tour guide, and ask if the tour guide can meet your requirements. If the tour guide agrees to accept the order, you must pay a certain deposit to our website, and our website will be responsible for the arrangement The tour guide will meet you, and then the tour guide will take you all the way. As for the accommodation, you can ask the tour guide to arrange it, or you can arrange it yourself. Simply let the tour guide take you around Kunming. Suppose you visit for 3 days, and you leave after 3 days In Kunming, the customer service will make a follow-up visit to see if you are satisfied with the trip. After you are satisfied, the website will pay the tour guide. If you are not satisfied or there is a conflict with the tour guide, the website will come forward to coordinate and discuss compensation matters, etc. In the end, it is up to you Give this tour guide a score, the tour guide with the higher the score and the more praise will definitely get more customers, so the tour guide must do his best to serve the guests for his own reputation."

"Great." Zhuo Lan said with a little excitement: "This is indeed a vacancy and a big loophole in domestic tourism. As far as Yunnan tourism is concerned, there are too many negative news. Tourists are kicked out of the car and forced to shop. …if your ideas can be turned into actions, then these problems will cease to exist.”

"I want to try." I said to Zhuo Lan: "If it can be done successfully, it will be a revolution in the tourism industry."

"But there are also problems." Zhuo Lan reminded me: "Your model is very simple, easy to be imitated, and there is not much technical content in it. Have you thought about how to avoid being imitated?"

"No." I was a little frustrated, and said, "You are right. To put it bluntly, this is to make a website, and you can do it with technology."

"So you must think about how to avoid being imitated, or you have made certain achievements before others imitate. The simplest example is that after Taobao, there will be JD.com, because Taobao has seized business opportunities and won a large number of Customers, which led to the downturn of many online shopping websites. There is a saying that in an industry, the first riser will take 60% of the profits, and the second riser will take 30% The remaining 10% of the profits will be reserved for latecomers.”

"Understood." I said to Zhuo Lan: "Let me think about how to do this, or consider whether to do this first. I think this is a vacancy in the market. Before I decide to do it, I still want to do it." Do a series of market research."

Zhuo Lan said sweetly on the phone: "Honey, little girl supports you unconditionally."

After finishing the call with Zhuo Lan, I felt that my blood was boiling. I couldn’t find sleep in bed. I got up and turned on the computer to make a preliminary plan, about the construction of the platform, and some details.For example, the tour guide must be a native of the local people, know enough about the local area, and be able to explain the local cultural characteristics.

Progress payment system, such as visiting a certain scenic spot on the first day, and the customer feels satisfied after visiting, clicks to confirm the payment on the website, then the labor fee for the first day of playing will be called by the website to the tour guide.

Once the tour guide takes customers to visit black shops or something, the tourists will immediately report to the website, and the website customer service will come forward to solve the problem...

Similar to these details, I made some detailed plans and stayed busy until two o'clock in the morning. Looking at the ten-page plan, I felt very satisfied.Looking back on these details, I feel that it is necessary to build such a website, or such a platform.

The next morning, I received a call from Xiyan's father, inviting me to celebrate the Lantern Festival together in Dali.Thinking that he was really lonely in Shuanglang by himself, I promised Xiyan before leaving, not to mention taking care of the elderly, it was still right to visit her during the holidays.

After lunch, I went around the company again, and told Su Yubing that I was going to Dali, and I couldn’t participate in the evening activities, so let her and Jia Yun watch more. In fact, I am not the same, The two of them have more than enough rubbing for such activities.

Departing from Kunming at 05 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Dali Shuanglang at 30:[-]. The "Old Times" inn was as lively as ever. I saw Xiruo again. In the evening, Xiyan's father personally cooked a table of delicacies. A few guests who were on vacation in the inn were invited to have dinner together.The atmosphere of the whole inn is very harmonious.

After dinner, some people sat on the balcony on the second floor to watch the moon, and some sat on the yard built on the first floor to watch the moon. While watching the moon, Xiruo and I had a chat about the tourism industry. Of course, it was unavoidable. I put forward some ideas of my own, that is, whether it is necessary to sell tour guides on this website, and I hope she will make suggestions as a professional tour guide.

Before Xiruo could speak, Xiyan's father took the lead in saying: "Qiuhan, your idea is good, but I have to tell you that this is a very large investment, because the investment in making a website is not a few dollars. It can be done with hundreds of thousands or millions. I don’t mean how much it costs to design and maintain a website, but the promotion fee. The Internet is a money-burning machine, and I will also express my own thoughts , your idea is very good, with enough funds injected, this is definitely a profitable project, but the only premise is that you have money."

Xi Ruo said thoughtfully: "I don't know about the Internet, but as a tour guide, I do know that there are many unspoken rules in the industry. For example, if a tour guide brings tourists to dinner, there will definitely be some merchants who will play tricks and give kickbacks to the tour guide. .If this is the case, how do you deal with it? The industry is like this, unspoken rules."

I explained: "I don't think this is a problem. The tour guide can take guests to eat delicious food and get kickbacks. As long as the guests feel that it is not expensive and tastes good, then he will not complain about paying for the meal. He may not respond to the extra 30 yuan for the meal, and he may not quarrel with the tour guide, but he will leave comments on the tour guide's information. Once there are too many negative comments, the tour guide will be tantamount to self-destructing image. If he slaughtered too much at one time, then the website stepped in to do a field investigation. A dish normally costs 18 yuan, but this restaurant sells it for 58 yuan. It is obviously a scam. At this time, the website will deal with it accordingly, such as paying for the customer. , and then deducted from the tour guide's deposit. I'm not afraid of the tour guide getting kickbacks, but I have to be worthy of the guests."

Xi Ruo agreed with the idea, and said: "I think the most difficult thing for this website to solve is meeting unruly customers..."

I can also understand what Xi Ruo said. After all, she was a tour guide. Anyone who thinks about problems is from their own point of view.That night, I talked a lot with Xi Ruo about the tourism industry, which made me feel more and more reliable in my ideas.

When I was about to go to bed, Xiyan's father stopped me and said to me: "Son, if you want to build this travel website, I'm willing to invest in you. I'll be a venture capitalist."

"I'll think about it." I know that Xiyan's father has a sum of money, but that money is for his retirement, and I don't want her to take risks just because of my impulsiveness.

The greatest tragedy in life is not daring to take that first step, but now I know more about it, but I feel that the road is difficult and difficult.Xi Yan’s father is right, my idea is good, there is definitely a vacancy for such a travel website in China, but no one knows, no matter how good you do it, it’s in vain, and it doesn’t cost much to develop a website, the key is The cost of promotion is the key.

In the dead of night, I got up alone and came to the balcony of the inn. Looking at the fishing fire on the Erhai Lake in the distance, my excited and disturbed heart became much calmer.I lived in Shuanglang for a few days, Xiruo helped me make appointments with some leaders in the tourism industry, such as senior tour guides, travel agency managers, scenic spot directors, etc., sat and chatted with these people, talked about this industry, I really benefited a lot, and they raised many questions that I didn't expect.

I lived in Dali until March 3th and I returned to Kunming from Dali. The "Kunming Baby" campaign has entered the preparations for 15 into 16. The mineral water "Yipin" has also officially started to be promoted in Kunming. The image spokesperson is Wu Xiao Wu, this year is a good sign, and the company has already received several big orders in less than a month after the new year.

When Su Yubing told me about this, I didn't feel anything. The main reason was that I no longer had shares in the company. The other reason was that I put all my thoughts on building a travel website. I paid for the registration myself. I built a website and borrowed a trading system similar to Taobao. After the website was completed, I asked Xiruo to help me promote it in her tour guide circle and invited some tour guides to register information.

The promotion of the premise is difficult to do. Many people even think that registering information on a website will reveal their identity, etc., insisting on the real purpose of the website. Of course, there are also a large number of tour guides who think that registration or not registration is of little significance, and instead register This authentication information will delay your precious few minutes, and you will encounter a problem at the first step when you start the website.

I was all sorts of depressed those days.

What was even more frustrating than this was receiving a call from Ji Qiu, who brought me a message that was hard for me to accept.
