Chapter 1690 (1/2)
A few days after the closing of the summit forum, ”free travel” section took the lead in launching Taobao.
The free travel is relatively simple, and the organization work required by Muye technology and Taobao is relatively easy. After the resource integration, it can be directly online, but the group tour will be more troublesome. It will take a while for the recruitment and training of the tour guide team alone.
In addition, the number of tourists is generally larger than that of group tours, and the coordination of resources is more troublesome than that of free travel, so it will take at least one month to prepare.
However, the free line can let Taobao to turn its business first, so as soon as Li Mu comes up, he has put more efforts to promote Taobao.
YY and twitter started to promote ads of Taobao's free line in the first tier cities in China and several major cities in California.
Of course, Li Mu's focus is to send Americans to China instead of sending them to the United States.
It's not that he is careful, but that he has fully calculated the consumption level and tourism cost of the two countries. He has found that how cheap it is to go to the United States is also very luxurious for the Chinese people at this stage;
however, the cost of traveling to China is unimaginable for most Americans.
California Netizens found that YY and twitter began to promote a travel ad called ”enjoy China”. The ad said that you can fly to the other end of the earth for six days and five nights to visit China, an ancient civilization with a history of five thousand years.
$1599? Users in the United States can hardly believe it.
Nowadays, it's more than that to go to Europe, isn't it?
Many people subconsciously click the promotion link, and the page directly jumps to the English version of Taobao, and it is the details page of free line service.
There are more than a dozen gears to choose from in California's free trip to China, with $1599 per person as the lowest gear.
However, even the lowest level is already very exciting.
Because it includes:
1. Direct flight ticket from San Francisco or Los Angeles to Yanjing, China;
2. Three consecutive nights' accommodation (including breakfast) for four-star hotels in Yanjing;
3. Whole journey car use and simple car following translation service in Yanjing;
4. Tickets for great wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan and other tourist attractions in Yanjing;
5. Direct flight in Yanjing Tickets for Shanghai stock market;
6. Two consecutive nights' accommodation (including breakfast) for four-star hotels in Shanghai stock market;
7. Full ride and simple follow-up translation service in Shanghai stock market;
8. Tickets for multiple tourist attractions in Shanghai stock market;
9. Direct flight tickets from Shanghai stock market to San Francisco or Los Angeles;
if users customize such a trip, three tickets are required at least 1300 $300 for five nights' accommodation, at least $200 for ticket service, $300 for six days' car service, and $200 for six days' car following translation service. All in all, at least $2300 is needed.
And most of all, the 2300 dollars is very tired, because all the links need to be done by yourself, a little bit to find communication, and even bear the cost of trial and error.
But where to go in Taobao? It only costs 1599 dollars to buy the whole service, 700 dollars cheaper, which is 68% off.
Moreover, where Taobao goes will help users coordinate everything. From the arrival of tourists, there will be drivers and car following translators to meet them at the airport, to the departure from Shanghai market, and also local drivers and car following translators to the airport.
Airlines and hotels have a discount agreement price with Muye technology. Li Mu's acquisition cost is naturally much lower than the market price. The total cost of other agents is about $1250, but the actual cost of Li Mu is about $1000;
as for vehicle service, he cooperates with local regular taxi companies, and taxi companies Assign a taxi to follow up the whole process. The agreed price is 300 yuan per day, 1800 yuan for six days, or 220 yuan in US dollars;
translation service with the car, Li Mu indicated on the detail page that it is only a simple English translation, rather than a high-end, open mouth translation at any time. For tourists, college students who have passed the CET-4 examination in a regular university can actually answer Pay for their translation needs, so Li Mu directly cooperates with 3321. On 3321, he sends a list to the students who have passed CET-4, asking them to consider whether to accept the list according to their own situation and schedule. If they accept the list, they will pay 200 yuan a day.
At present, the per capita monthly salary is more than 1000 yuan. College students work part-time as car following translators, which is a very high income.
This part, converted into US dollars, is about 140 yuan.
