In the following three days, Colonos Airlines conducted a detailed internal study of the reform plan proposed by Li Zetian, and further optimized and improved it!
One month later, in the highly competitive aviation market, Colonos Airlines has achieved a proud result, with a performance increase of more than 60%, making a sensation in the industry and focusing on global attention!
The world's major airlines were dumbfounded, and held meetings again and again to analyze the secret of the success of Colonos Airlines!
The media is also very shocked!
"Cronos Airlines implements a low-price strategy to win the overlord of American Airlines! 》
"Cronos Airlines is the originator of the "low-cost airline" business model in the civil aviation industry, and other airlines have followed suit! 》
"After Chronos·Li acquired United Airlines and American Airlines, he was determined to reform, opened up a new way in the sluggish American aviation market, and successfully created a low-cost market! ! ! 》
…
For a time, Colonos Air was known as a "low-cost airline".
Harvard economics critic John Bob couldn't help but make a remark in a program: "Chronos Li is indeed a super genius, a small innovation that saved the American aviation industry and broke the long-standing history of the American aviation industry. The high fare rule and its low price policy make the plane a fast and comfortable 'air bus' between cities in the true sense!!!"
"Even... the price of a Kronos Air ticket can compete with the price of a coach!"
The low price policy of Colonos Air has truly benefited the people, so the American people have applauded!
"Chronos Li has done a great job. Air tickets are so cheap. For a long-term business traveler like me, it saves a lot of money!"
"Although the air ticket price of Chronos Airlines is low, the service quality has not fallen in the slightest. Chronos·Li has done a good thing for us American people!"
"Support Chronos Li, support Chronos Air!"
…
At the beginning, many people also questioned Li Zetian, saying that he acquired airlines across the border, and that the layman would guide the expert, and Colonos Airlines would definitely be doomed. However, I never imagined that Li Zetian could break the situation of the American aviation market so quickly and create a new model of aviation operation!
At this time, inside Colonos Air.
Li Zetian is talking to the company's CEO Rich Arthur.
"Mr. Li, the official website of Koronos has been established, and users can book tickets online. In addition, it has also reached a cooperation with the TripAdvisor travel website, and users there can book tickets directly on the TripAdvisor website." Rich Arthur said .
"Well." Li Zetian nodded.
Rich Arthur continued at this time: "According to your request, Colonos Air has invited many powerful airlines around the world to jointly establish a 'Star Alliance', which will combine the route network, VIP lounge, Check-in, ticketing and more all in one!!! Enhance your travel experience no matter where your customers are in the world!”
While talking, Rich Arthur looked at Li Zetian with admiration in his eyes.
When Li Zetian first proposed the Star Alliance, Rich Arthur was shocked. This was to create the world's first global airline alliance, which Rich Arthur had never thought of before.
As soon as the low-price policy came out, the outside world thought that Colonos Airlines seemed to give up international flights!
wrong!
Big mistake!
We did not give up at all, but through the establishment of the Star Alliance, we must cooperate with aviation giants in other countries to reduce costs and develop more users!
"At present, Lufthansa and Air Canada have made it clear that they are willing to join the Star Alliance!" said Rich Arthur.
"What about China?"
"I have sent invitations to China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific, and they have not responded yet."
Li Zetian nodded and didn't reply, it didn't mean they wouldn't join, this kind of alliance that benefited everyone should not be rejected.
"Oh, Mr. Arthur, is Cathay Pacific the biggest airline in Hong Kong?" Li Zetian asked suddenly.
"Yes, Mr. Li." Rich Arthur nodded and replied, "Cathay Pacific uses Hong Kong International Airport as its hub, and its subsidiaries, including Dragonair and China Airlines, basically monopolize Hong Kong Airlines. market."
"When you talk to the major shareholder of Cathay Pacific Airways, you say that Chronos wants to take a stake in Cathay Pacific Airways!!" Although this was a temporary intention, Li Zetian thought that Hong Kong was also one of his base camps. If he could master Hong Kong's aviation The company is still very beneficial to itself. Furthermore, Hong Kong is very prosperous and belongs to the Asian financial center. The aviation industry is very developed. Investing in airlines can make a profit without loss!
"Okay, Mr. Li, how many shares do you plan to control?" Rich Arthur asked.
"The major shareholder of Cathay Pacific is the Swire Group?"
"Yes."
Li Zetian frowned slightly and thought about it carefully. Historically, Swire and Jardine, Hutchison and Wheelock were once called "the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong", but Swire is different from the other three foreign firms. It is very low-key. It is more like A secretive business tycoon with great strength.
Cathay Pacific monopolizes the Hong Kong aviation market! As we all know Zhou, as long as the market monopoly is described as high profit, Swire Group will naturally not sell Cathay Pacific Airways.
"You don't have to be absolutely controlling, just have a certain right to speak!" After a while, Li Zetian said.
If Swire Group is smart, it will definitely be willing to accept such conditions. If Li Zetian is one of the major shareholders of Cathay Pacific, the help he can provide is beyond imagination, including contacts, resources, various cooperation and so on.
Who in the world does not know that SpaceX was founded by Li Zetian. The company is developing a new type of civil airliner. If Li Zetian is one of the major shareholders of Cathay Pacific Airways, the purchase price of the new plane will definitely be much cheaper!
In addition, Swire Group is also afraid that after rejecting Li Zetian, he will support other airlines in Hong Kong, and then compete with Cathay Pacific!
Sure enough, just two days later, Cathay Pacific accepted the acquisition of Colonos Airways and was willing to sell 30% of the shares, with an investment of only 4 billion Hong Kong dollars.
"Mr. Li, you still have a lot of face!!! As far as I know, other companies have also expressed to Cathay Pacific that they want to buy shares and put forward a higher price, but they were all rejected. The price we offered does not count. High, but the other party agreed and is willing to sell 30% of the shares!" Rich Arthur said on the phone.
The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Okay, I see."
Just kidding, who is my brother, the richest man in the world, a giant in the aerospace industry, a Hong Kong technology hegemon, a real estate tycoon... Not to mention, when I stomp my feet, Hong Kong will tremble. Can Swire Group save face
After hanging up the phone, Li Zetian called Bill Gates and Buffett respectively to discuss the launch of the TripAdvisor website.
Now, hotels and airlines are basically done, and TripAdvisor travel website can be officially launched!
During this period of time, TripAdvisor's business personnel are all over the world. In addition to those hotels and airlines under the name of Li Zetian, there are actually many more hotels and airlines that have become partners of TripAdvisor. Other attractions management companies have also become partners of TripAdvisor, and users can book tickets for attractions on the TripAdvisor website.
As the saying goes, the beginning of everything is difficult.
However, when TripAdvisor's business personnel took the cooperation contracts of Colonos Airlines, Hilton Hotels, InterContinental Hotels and other companies to negotiate business with other companies, the difficulty was instantly reduced. In addition, these companies cooperate with TripAdvisor. In fact, TripAdvisor is taking business for them, which is beneficial and harmless. How can they not agree
…
On June 1, Children's Day, TripAdvisor was officially launched, and at the same time, a press conference was held around 10 am.
And Bill Gates and Buffett attended the conference.
As for Li Zetian
He didn't dare to go. If he did, the global media wouldn't be mad, and the business people around the world wouldn't be excited!
Wow, Chronos·Li has established a company again, and it is an Internet company, everyone, plagiarism, fuck it, let's also open a travel website company!
The company has just opened, and before a single user, it faces countless competitors. You said that the pressure is not great! !
However, considering that after TripAdvisor is released, it needs to attract the attention of the media and the industry, but it will not cause too much plagiarism, so let Bill Gates and Buffett go to the conference. The presence of the two of them is enough to demonstrate the strength of TripAdvisor, so that more potential partners can take the initiative to contact TripAdvisor. The world is so big, how can TripAdvisor salespeople be so busy. If you want to expand your business, you don't have to talk about it yourself, but customers come to your door to talk about it.
After the press conference, Li Zetian watched live TV at home.
The scene was sensational, and the guests were stunned!
Although Bill Gates and Buffett are not as famous in the United States as Li Zetian, they are also extremely famous!
Let’s just say Bill Gates. At a young age, only in his thirties, because he holds more than 12.5% of Microsoft’s shares, he is worth 10 to 20 billion US dollars, and he has become one of the top ten richest people in the world. He is one of countless young people in the United States. The idol, the darling of the media!
Buffett is not simple. Countless investment myths have created a Berkshire Hathaway company that is almost close to hundreds of billions of dollars. It is really a mess!
The reporters couldn't help but blushed with excitement. Microsoft CEO and Berkshire Hathaway CEO teamed up to create TripAdvisor travel site. This is breaking news! Well, fortunately, these reporters didn't know that Li Zetian was also involved...
Once TripAdvisor was released, Li Zetian began to use his own resources to make full efforts.
on-line:
1. Sprint Internet dial-up software pop-up ads.
2. Microsoft's Netscape browser pop-up ads.
3. Yahoo website homepage promotion.
4. Amazon website homepage promotion.
5. Google search keyword promotion, whenever you search for tourism-related words such as attractions, hotels, restaurants, flights, etc., TripAdvisor must be ranked in the top three columns on the search page.
6. Promotion on the official websites of major hotels, airline officials, restaurants, and scenic spots.
7. Various soft articles.
8.Hotmail email marketing promotion.
…
The strength of online promotion is terrifying, but for promotion, it is still necessary to collect money. Anyway, TripAdvisor has a registered capital of 110 million US dollars.
As for offline promotion, it is much simpler. All partner hotels have printed flyers and placed them in every room.
In fact, online promotion is ubiquitous. As long as you go online, you will definitely be exposed to TripAdvisor advertisements.
That afternoon, TripAdvisor was on fire!
At least millions of netizens have clicked on TripAdvisor's website, photos of scenic spots, luxury hotels, and special restaurants, all of which attract people.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here, I didn't even know there was such a beautiful place in the world. My dear, can we go here for a holiday~~?"
"it is good!"
“Then hurry up and book tickets for attractions! Oh, you can also book flights and hotels on TripAdvisor, and Bill Gates and Buffett endorse TripAdvisor. It’s definitely not a lie!”
…
The next day, TripAdvisor caused a global buzz!
The headlines in mainstream media around the world are basically dominated by TripAdvisor.
"On June 1, the TripAdvisor website was launched, which immediately set off a global tourism storm! ! ! 》
"Shock! Shock! Shock! The first day of TripAdvisor's travel website, the transaction volume exceeded 2.5 million US dollars, and the user exceeded 10,000! 》
…
June 2, Beverly Hills.
Bill Gates, Buffett, and Li Zetian sit and drink together.
Buffett looked in disbelief, took a sip of red wine, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect TripAdvisor to be so popular!!!"
Li Zetian calmed down a lot, and said slowly: "We have done so much preparation before, and naturally it is not in vain. TripAdvisor can achieve such great results, and it should be. We take a 10% commission, which is 250,000 US dollars. It's okay!"
Buffett shouted in astonishment: "It's okay?!! No, Mr. Li, this is simply too good!! In the future, the number of netizens will increase, and TripAdvisor will be a huge cash cow!!!"
"Calm down, Buffett," Bill Gates laughed, "hehe, for Chronos, of course, it's okay, you don't know how much wealth he has! It's buying hotels and airlines. Right now, TripAdvisor It's on fire, and hotels and airlines make more money. You know, most of the hotel companies that TripAdvisor works with are his properties."
"Yes, we can't compare with him! It's maddening to compare people!" Buffett laughed.
When Li Zetian heard this, he smiled bitterly. Are there any of you who slaughter people like this
Picking up the glass, Li Zetian took a big sip, and then said seriously: "TripAdvisor is popular, there will definitely be companies that follow suit, we can't relax! In the future, we will have to think of ways to increase user stickiness!"
Bill Gates nodded and frowned slightly: "Travel websites do indeed have poor user stickiness. Whoever has a cheaper travel website will be more likely to attract users!"
"A price war is inevitable!" Li Zetian said with great certainty, "But if you fight, you will fight, whoever is afraid! But, in addition, there must be something to keep users!"
…
When Li Zetian and the three discussed here, someone had already started to register a company to develop a travel website similar to TripAdvisor. Uh, this Nima is only the second day, the second day! ! !
