At the Forefront

Its a gladitorial sport, it can be seen as macho testosterone fueled. How easy is it to ask for help if youre struggling, having a tough time for whatever reason?

Dan: You use the word macho and I guess I thought of that, it’s probably a bit harder for men to break through that because there’s a perception of “I’m big and strong and the provider” and that old way of thinking but you know the thing which helps me is having close people around me, friends and people that I can trust and if I do get emotional or something they’re not going to call me weak or anything. They’ll put their arm around me and understand where I’m coming from so, I think that’s the biggest thing. I think everyone has the ability to open up and at times wants to open up but it’s that uncertainty of who to open up to. So it’s just finding someone you can really lean on. And even if that person is someone you’re not sure of I’m sure 9 times out of 10 they might surprise you and be open ears and arms.

Could you tell anything to a teammate? Because as you know in F1 they’re the benchmark and any weakness can easily be exploited by a teammate and used against them on the track.

D: Yeah that’s a good question. You probably have to be a bit more selective with what you say to a direct competitor but you know on the flip side I think if you have enough confidence in yourself a lot of the time you can be happy to put everything on the table and deep down you’re like “I’m not longer vulnerable, I’ve put everything out there so at least my plate is clear so I can go out there and give it my all”. It can probably work both ways

You can go from hero to zero very quickly in F1, not least on social media. I’m wondering what your techniques are for handling the stress, the scrutiny, the pressure, the demands.

One thing I’ve always found helps is having other interests. If my life was only F1, I think that would consume me and the pressure of the sport would. Not having a good race would probably eat me in inside for to long. If I have a bad race or a moment where I’m not to happy with my performance or what’s going on in the sport it might consume me for the Sunday evening but by Monday I’m trying to put my thoughts somewhere else and I don’t know go out and do some sports or go see some music. I think to just have an escape. I think that’s important for everyone whatever your job is. To have an interest outside of it that you can go and attend and clear your head a little bit.

Is there a moment that you could share in your career where things looked or felt bleak and what you learned from that episode?

A highlight for me as back in 2013, still relatively early in my career and I was very strict on myself. I was very disciplined and wouldn’t allow myself a beer or to go and party and you know what was I a 23/24 year old kid, it wasn’t really normal. In my head I was doing everything right, and the results for a few weeks weren’t there and I was kinda banging my head against the wall wondering what else could I do. I just got away for a bit. I was like maybe I’m putting to much into and this and maybe I’m going down a rabbit hole of trying to look into to many details and maybe I need to step away for a bit. It was the Montreal race and Montreal is close to New York and I’d never been to New York so I was like “I’m going to go to New York for a few days and I had some friends with me and I was like let’s just go”. Basically just not think or talk about racing and just go to a new city where racing doesnt exist and have a few drinks and go out and just take a break. That was really the best thing that I did. It really eased me in a lot of ways and it also kind of made me appreciate the sport like missing it everyday made me happy to go back to it after that holiday.

That’s really interesting, cause I was gonna ask you about the lifestyle. Cause F1 is seen as a very glamorous profession . You’re on the road, you’re living out of hotels, you’re away from family etc etc. How do you cope with that and you’ve done it from an early age. You came to Europe and that’s a big step. So how have you managed to shape your mind and keep yourself on the straight and narrow when sometimes it’s just a hotel room and you?

That’s one of the hardest things. I think that’s what actually can break a lot of kids. When they move home it’s really having that long term vision. The first years of me living away from home, yeah I missed home, you know at that point I wasn’t earning any money or I wasn’t guaranteed to make it in F1 or anything but I was like “okay yes this isn’t particularly perfect right now but this is what everyone went through”. This is what Schumacher went through , this is what all the good guys did and this is what I have to do if I want to get there. So it was just I saw it as that. It was a sacrifice but ultimately if this means I can race F1, get paid to do the job I love , then this is nothing. So it was really just that and its all perspective and mindset. It’s understanding that sometimes there is a bit of a slow grind but if it’s going to get you a step closer to what you want then I think anythings worth it.

It’s clearly working cause this is your tenth season in F1 so you know what you’re doing. But I wonder how much of that do you put on you as a person and as a driver? You know the ups and downs, you’ve talked about Montreal, also as someone whos prepared to stand up for what he believes in. I mean look at Lewis Hamilton for example, he seems to have grown into this statesman about black lives matter. But in terms of you and your development in what matters to you would you stay quiet and stick to racing or are you someone who would go “No I need to speak up here”

Yeah that comes with age. Through confidence I guess. Even here in F1 in the drivers meetings you know when I first got to F1 I was quite shy and nervous and didn’t feel like I really belonged in the room so I would be less vocal, less opinionated on somethings and now I feel like I’ve paid my dues in the sport and if I feel like more of a right to speak my mind. Whether that’s right or wrong I don’t know it’s just kind of what I went through in my head and you evolve as a person and you find things that work for you and things that dont and you learn from other people as well. From the path they’ve gone on and whether that did or didn’t work for them. You meet some amazing people and become a sponge basicaslly at a young age in an intertnational sport with you know people from all around the world. I think you know, whether it’s mental health or black lives matter, a lot of this stuff is new for so many people and it’s about allowing yourself to be vulnerable and if you really feel strongly about something to speak up and normally I think you can find it goes a long way. And we have that platform in which to do so.

He seems so level headed don’t you think so Mark. He’s able to ride the storms and whirl pools in Formula 1 and also ride the rapids too and when he gets the right car,he has the ability to show his talent. He’s one of the best out there, the best overtaker there is. He’s able to take the slings and arrows very calmly. I was fascinated to hear about that trip to New York early in his formula one career, just when he had to clear his mind. He was thinking, maybe even overthinking, that everything he was doing should be contributing to success in F1 but it wasn’t. He just had to unplug for a while regroup, rethink with friends and suddenly things start to flow

Yeah that was really interesting. We think of Daniel Ricciardo as not just a great racing driver but as something as a joker, having a good laugh and as a very jolly individual. So to hear him talking about some of the darker sides of being an elite sportsperson was really interesting. My big takeaway from listening to Daniel talking to you John is that when we think about some of the criticisms that Lewis Hamilton gets for some of the interests he has outside of F1 is effectively what Dan is saying are really good things for you mental approach to the sport. That by taking time away and actually doing something different that when you get back into the car, suddenly you’re refreshed and you’re able to crack on. Interesting to hear that in their different ways Daniel and Lewis are essentially doing the same thing and benefitting from it. (X)

Crunch time for Red Bull as Ricciardo-Verstappen battle boils over - Jolyon Palmer column

Crunch time for Red Bull as Ricciardo-Verstappen battle boils over – Jolyon Palmer column

F1 driver Jolyon Palmer, who left Renault at the end of 2017, joins the BBC team this season to offer insight and analysis from the point of view of the competitors.

The dramatic crash between Red Bull drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was the result of an internal dynamic that does not exist at Mercedes or Ferrari.

At the two top teams, you get the feeling that there is a number one driver and a number two – even if that is not the case contractually.

Although both Kimi Raikkonen and particularly Valtteri Bottas have improved this year, the continued success of Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton gives them a natural priority over their team-mates.

At Red Bull, it’s a very different situation, and Baku laid bare the size of the problem that creates for the team.

They have an internal battle between two of the most talented drivers on the grid – some would argue the best driver pairing. But with that comes the intensity of each trying to prove their superiority in a fight that has been so close over the past couple of years.

Verstappen is seen as the golden boy in the team. On the back of a fantastic run in the second half of last year, he got a lucrative multi-year contract extension, while Ricciardo did not.

The Australian will have felt a bit of pain from that, as it clearly showed that the team’s thinking, even if they did not say it publicly, was that Verstappen was their best hope for the future and they wanted to tie him in.

I’m sure Red Bull would love to keep Ricciardo as well, especially after the performance he produced to win this year in China, but they have left the door open for him to leave. His future has become one of the key topics of conversation this year.

The fight in Baku was for fourth and fifth places. Neither was going to finish higher than that unless someone else dropped out or there was contact. And there was no gain for the team whichever driver emerged ahead.

From that point of view it was a relatively futile battle, for just two points. But the intensity of it belied that. It was a battle of egos, both desperate to assert themselves over the other.

The build-up to the crash

Ricciardo turns the wheel left, after initially going right, committing to the inside for the slight gap he sees on Verstappen’s inside

The way Ricciardo and Verstappen went at it was risky, astonishing and initially brilliant to watch.

The tone was set by Verstappen’s aggression early on. His overtaking move on Ricciardo into Turn Two at the safety-car restart on lap six laid down a marker. The problem was he then did not have Ricciardo’s pace, and held him up for the next 35 laps.

Many drivers in Verstappen’s shoes would have taken a more cautious approach, especially as he had had incidents in every race so far in 2018, was a lowly eighth in the standings and needed to start bringing home some strong results. But Verstappen was as aggressive as I’ve seen him for a long time.

Every time Ricciardo tried to pass on the outside, Verstappen would fly in from the inside, late on the brakes, his wheels locked up, fighting to the death to hold onto that fourth position.

At one point, this even led to contact on the exit of Turn One, where the incoming barrier on the outside makes the track jink in on the exit. They were lucky to emerge from that unscathed.

Verstappen’s aggression came from the fact he is naturally a tough racer. He has always been fierce in wheel-to-wheel combat – not always getting it right, but always getting stuck in and not being afraid to trade a bit of paint with his rivals.

What added an extra edge to this was the previous race in China.

There, Verstappen had the race to lose, he was ahead of his team-mate on track after Red Bull made their decisive decision to change tyres behind the safety car. But a big error and a collision dropped him well out of contention and he was left to watch as Ricciardo swept to a brilliant victory.

To see your team-mate do that well is painful as a driver, especially when you know it could have been you in their shoes, and that it’s your own fault that it was not.

After China, everyone was waxing lyrical about Ricciardo’s moves and questioning Verstappen’s wheel-to-wheel skills.

Baku was a chance for Verstappen to prove on track that he is every bit a match for his team-mate, and his aggression showed just how much doing that meant.

Who was to blame?

Ricciardo’s dummy worked to move Verstappen slightly but at 350km/h he is aiming for a tiny gap, leaving zero margin for error or reaction from either driver

It was absolutely brilliant to see the dicing between the two. But every time they got close into Turn One, I was wincing, waiting for contact.

Such was the two drivers’ determination and willingness to risk, that the longer it went on, the more it seemed inevitable they would crash.

Ricciardo looked to have made the decisive move when he finally overtook Verstappen on lap 35 around the outside into Turn One.

It was a brilliant pass, Ricciardo at his very best, super-deep on the brakes, giving Verstappen no chance to come back. Ricciardo probably thought he had finally cracked his team-mate.

So when Verstappen re-appeared ahead after their pit stops shortly afterwards, it would have been galling for Ricciardo. Stopping one lap earlier should have given Ricciardo the advantage, but the slow warm-up of his tyres meant he lost track position and had to do it all again.

In my opinion, Verstappen was brave and maybe slightly foolish to be racing Ricciardo so hard for the first 40 laps.

Equally, though, I believe Ricciardo was the braver, and potentially more culpable, when they collided to end their races.

It’s easy to blame Verstappen because of his history – years of aggressive, over-the-top defending, plus his difficult start to 2018, compared to Ricciardo’s clean driving history and brilliant overtaking.

But if people step back and analyse this incident in isolation, it is much more 50-50.

Ricciardo tried to sell Verstappen a dummy. To an extent it worked, but then he fully committed his car to the inside, to the smallest of gaps, with a huge closing speed from which he could not bail out.

This is at the end of a two-kilometre straight and is the highest speed on the entire calendar. To be fighting for such a small gap at 350km/h (217mph) is a huge risk that did not need to be taken.

Initially, there was a slight gap there, but when Verstappen instinctively moved back to the left to shut it off, contact was inevitable.

Technically, this was two moves to defend from Verstappen. And that is against the rules, which say a driver cannot move more than once to defend his position.

Moving in the braking area to defend is a big no-no in F1 because by that time it’s too late and the driver behind cannot do anything to avoid contact.

In this case, the movement from Verstappen was a bit earlier than that and it was a tiny move to shut off a tiny gap that had opened on the inside. The moves were a matter of inches rather than sweeping across the width of the track, which is more what the rules are aimed at preventing.

Verstappen’s driving was questionable, but Ricciardo was too committed and I think too ambitious, the absolute definition of a do-or-die. And this time he got it slightly wrong.

In Ricciardo’s mitigation, it is easy to see that his team-mate’s overt aggression throughout the race might have wound him up a bit too much and he got suckered into the move.

All in all, I think the stewards were right to call it a racing incident. Ultimately, both were to blame. It was ambitious from Ricciardo, defending in a grey area on the limit from Verstappen. But when these two were fighting like that for 40 laps, I don’t think many were surprised by the outcome in the end.

Red Bull have told Ricciardo and Verstappen their crash was “unacceptable”

Where do Red Bull go from here?

It begs the question what Red Bull will do now? Will they impose team orders or will they continue to let their drivers fight.

Red Bull has become a popular team in this generation, especially with the arrival of Verstappen. They have two hugely talented drivers, maybe both future world champions, fighting it out tooth and nail, in a car that is still a fraction behind the top two teams.

They often need a cavalier attitude to win races, and they have it at the heart of their racing. China was a great example – it was a bold call to pit on to new tyres at the end which won them the race. No other front-runners did it.

Red Bull instil a sense of fun. Their attitude is feisty, give anything a go. It comes from the top down in that team and we love it.

Probably every other team on the grid would have imposed team orders before the contact between their drivers in Baku, such was the intensity and duration of their battle.

It is easy to admire Red Bull for not doing that. They put a lot of trust and faith in their drivers to fight it out cleanly between them. But this time it came back to bite, and the trust might not be there anymore.

Team principal Christian Horner was as angry as I’ve seen him after a race and the drivers have already been ordered back to the factory to apologise to the 800-strong workforce in Milton Keynes.

It was a humbling end to a brilliant scrap, but these two are young and will bounce back. They will surely be duking it out for titles in the future and this Baku battle may well be talked about years down the line as the moment the epic Verstappen-Ricciardo contest came to the boil.

Eye-opening

QianXiSai Make money Diary（How to make money）

Friends found a girlfriend, 90 years.

He commented highly on her. Where is Gao?

capable.

The girl's work is a bit half-physical and she works and sleeps. He appreciates...

Whenever you talk about this advantage.

I always have different opinions. What do I think if a woman turns herself into a porter? This is not a woman who wants to find a good individual at farming. What time is it?

Do not dress up, can not play, this is a good woman?

I think it is worth discussing.

I have been thinking that these girls around me, who are around 90 years old, are the best?

After much deliberation, Mei Er.

She does not have a car and room, there is a full-time driver, this is very Niu B, can basically be volunteers for her driver, is not seeking any return, just for more contacts, is not to think bubble she was?

Her feelings are very cold, and generally the man turned himself down.

Unless it's me shameless.

How do we know? I studied yoga in Qingdao. The assistant told me about the experience of traveling to my hometown.

She said that there was a classmate who opened a yoga studio in our county and had a very good business.

I recommended the business card to me. It was the beautiful children. They were together. He participated in a crash course for yoga instructors in Jinan.

Plus, just after the eleventh eve, Meier had an activity, 300 yuan experience a week, after experiencing 300 yuan, I went and paid 300 yuan, but I did not experience, after a long time, she always I felt that my heart was a thing and asked me on WeChat.

It meant that I could not return my money.

I said, no need to retire, please let me eat.

So we ate together.

Later, I reported a private tuition class for 6,600 yuan, but I didn't go on. I just thought she was very good and she simply supported her business. Even though she had a good face value, she could play a joke, but I didn't think about soaking her.

On the contrary, we talked together very well, talked about business, talked about life.

The man is actually the species that will most likely look at the dishes. Different women have different attitudes.

If a man goes up, he will sing with you. To illustrate, you must give him the wrong signal and let him see you as frivolous.

For a long time, we are commensurate with men and women.

Occasionally go out and play together, I introduce: This is my girlfriend.

She also responded with a smile, this is my boyfriend.

I think women's gas field is too strong. Men do not dare to use hands. We live alone on many occasions.

The most exaggeration is nothing more than hug or courtesy. Of course,

according to my intuition, it is smooth, but I still do not do so.

I feel that when a friend is good, she can talk and talk. She can understand me.

She is unmarried and has no boyfriend.

I called her to spend time in communication, then she must hurry up to make up a sentence: ignorant.

She has too many human resources and spread all over Shandong. How do you know? She graduated from the Master of the Mountain, and in the senior year of that year she worked as a market for a training company.

At that time there were 250,000 high-end courses. She might be brainwashed too thoroughly. I borrowed money to attend this course.

Do you know what the result is?

She became the star of the entire course.

Those entrepreneurs either recognize her as a sister or be a daughter, that is, for her hard-hearted infection, I remember that I wrote this before, and some called her to go to work in her own company, while others suggested she start her own business. Is willing to invest in her.

For example, I would like to visit the fine art museums in the province. After I was listed, she could contact me directly to the person in charge.

When I went, everyone was treated as a guest and I was completely convinced.

Yoga is not really her main business.

Her main business is actually purchasing. In the duty-free shop in Khorgos, the surface is for tourists, in fact, mainly through WeChat sales, the network is very large, purchasing the most profitable thing is actually smoke, wine, but these two are in fact It is the business of wiping the edge.

WeChat plays a very good hidden role. You have to know that the highest cost of tobacco is the tax, and the smoke has a characteristic, the customer group is very stable, and there will be big customers.

Of course, not considering legal risks.

All studied thoroughly.

The illegal costs have been calculated, and Khorgos will be the main port for foreign cigarettes. There are a number of other port restrictions. At present, this port only has a monetary limit.

Of course, the policy will also change at any time. The former cross-border e-commerce has been doing too much at one go. Therefore, five policies were changed within one year.

In the end, everyone did not have to play.

There is no problem in the short term...

She once wanted to cooperate with me and only cooperated with spirits. Spirits are also a huge market, but I always feel that these things are full of uncertainty and I am negligently rejected.

At the time, there was another reason that I found I was blackened by her. I hurriedly called and asked her.

She hurriedly said, no, no.

Hang up the phone, and call me again for a while. Explain that she had talked about a boyfriend and was a very good man in those days. He was a company and he was almost the same age as me. Divorced, the man was Looking through her chats at night, I found that I was too embarrassed with me.

And those days we just discussed the issue of where to go. It was a joke. As a result, I was darkened by her boyfriend.

After a while, plus me, I reconciled with my boyfriend about me.

After a while, I said to my boyfriend.

Happy for her, she also sighed: I'm not fit to fall in love.

On one occasion, we went for picking together. In fact, the whole process was actually quite boring...

I told her that in the future, similar activities should not call me. It is not interesting. You should spend your time on the knife. If you visit the entrepreneur someday, you can call me.

I would also like to participate if you pay me. The class is completely a waste of time.

She asked, do you think the visiting company has someone attend?

I said, do not be positioned as a visit to the enterprise but as an experience. It is fresh every week. For example, take everyone to sit and sit in Ferrari and visit the villa.

This is something that we cannot reach in our daily lives. Too many, 10 places, you do not want to profit, just for your own play.

She said this is good.

I said that there is definitely a market. For example, everyone goes to see Super League and even goes to Shanghai to watch F1 and even listen to Guo Degang together.

Let's do it.

There was an experience tour in Qingdao with red wine, equestrianism, golf, a sports car, and photographers. Each person took a group of photos. At the time, the fee was 1,500 yuan, of which 1300 yuan was the cost and 200 yuan was her. profit.

It is just looking out at the well.

This line is very good, at least I think it is value for money, I also recommend that she engage in the children's version is to allow children to experience and see how the rich lives, we come to experience a lot, and for many people It is just the normal state of life.

On the eve of Christmas last year, she had also engaged in a visit to a bookstore. At that time, there were 11 people.

When I talked about it, everyone was very shocked. I have autographed living famous artists here. Even inkbo, I talked about these writer's heads, who is the character, who has any stories, who loves to drink, and who loves to smoke...

Everyone sends 5 books, I charge 300 yuan, and she charges 500 yuan.

She also sighed: After visiting the lap, I had a totally new understanding of you, and I looked around.

Each of them also prepared some questions, such as how the article was conceived, whether it was a hand-in-hand or a draft, and I answered one by one.

Very interesting, I also gained a lot, and also harvested a hardcore female fan, most people take a photo with her shoulders at the most.

She is ringing my waist and is a big sister in Texas. She looks like a doctor and believes in the Buddha. On the first day of the first month of this year, she ran to Thousand-Foshan to burn incense and also photographed me. She said that I wish you peace in my wishes.

Because there are family dinners on weekends, I rarely participate in activities organized by the United States. In addition, watching dramas and riding yachts are not very attractive to me. I will not go.

Two more times are very interesting.

One time we went to Shandong to visit the radio station. The radio station arranged the first beauty to accompany us for dinner.

It was very extroverted, familiar, and self-proclaimed to be the first beauty in the universe. It can only be said that the long is very beautiful, but it is not a big beautiful woman. She had just born a child soon, still quite fat, mobile phone screensaver is a picture of her son, pointing to the photo and said: See no, this is the first handsome guy in Jinan.

We asked a lot of questions, and more about business. For example, if you sell fake Maotai in the middle of your show, what do you think about the anchor?

She hurriedly corrected it. It was Maotai liquor, not fake wine.

All in all, she was grateful for these advertisements, which means that if there were no such owners, they might starve to death.

Many of the questions I ask are biased. From an outsider's point of view, what questions do you understand?

For example, I asked her, usually you go to some fans in the store to spend, like a single?

She said it was absolute.

I ask, do you usually meet fans?

She said that we often make face-to-face meetings, or more.

I ask, is there a die-hard fan?

She said that it was particularly large.

I asked, is it more than now?

She said that in the past, there were too many radio shows and fans were not loyal.

I asked, is the program a good mouth?

She said: No, we must do our homework one day in advance.

I asked, who is the column of your radio station?

She said that it is me, as early as 7 to 9 o'clock, do you think about it? Is there a more gold time than this? Morning class time.

I ask, don't you help people to hold a wedding?

She said, no, I am not familiar with the process. I often preside over some auto conferences.

I asked, did anyone complain about your show?

She said that there are ah, such as playing the mayor's hotline, saying that Valentine's Day is a holiday for foreigners, and why the radio broadcasts Valentine's Day. Why is such a program not banned?

I said, isn't it a neuropathy?

She said, who is not a neuropathy who will complain to us? You like to listen and listen. If you don't like to listen to a channel change, it's much easier.

I asked, in the eyes of your colleagues, are you their idols?

She said that I hate it, after all, my position is what they want.

I said that it was not particularly about your rumors.

She said yes, it is said that all leaders slept with me.

I laughed……

I asked seemingly indecent, she answered in the same way, but she knows that I understand her, do not look at her so bold, in some issues will also be blushing, and a little, the sound is really nice, especially laugh, some Excuse me, it's sexy.

I was particularly impressed with another event. I went to visit the hometown of local tyrants. This local tyrant is doing new energy.

His house is in the X House compound and is similar to the general building. There are only very high-level talents, and only one yard 11 families, first-class security, he is a direct increase of 2 million to buy, say plain, not for sale.

Many things we cannot imagine.

For example, hierarchy.

He usually sits on a very ordinary PASSAT. The decoration of the home is very simple. It is not like local tyrants.

I praised his table at home. He came to the sentence: This table is the least in the whole house.

Ass took the horse and hung up (oh, a little...).

There is a full-time chef at home, and we have 9 dishes for us. It is a bit similar to Japanese cuisine. Each dish is one or two chopsticks and it is very delicate.

He has two Ferraris, one black and one red, the same paragraph, the number plate is similar, but the first two letters are different, the ending number is 458, the car usually parked in a car private club, not far from the circuit.

On the track, everyone experiences a lap, not open, but sit.

The man's life is very careful, sleeves on the sleeves, very chic.

It turned out that some people live in this way.

He also visited private clubs. Private clubs are all similar to hotels. There are no signboards in the office buildings. The interiors are too luxurious.

The toilets are all music toilets of the ININA INAX. One is about 100,000, and the other is close to the toilet. The lid is automatically down, and it automatically flushes out of the toilet and is still pneumatic.

After joining the club, members can entertain customers here.

very good.

And it's hidden. You can't swipe in the door.

We can never imagine, yeah, this office building still has this one...

Every month, there are member salons. Some famous artists are invited to give lectures, or to speak Buddhist studies or to study Chinese culture.

All are masters. Each period has a group photo, and there are two types of participation. Individuals can join or join the company.

The annual fee is 10 Million yuan, of course, can not be used to get money, but also need sponsors, clubs are very low-key, I specifically Baidu for a moment, without any relevant information.

The day before yesterday, I went to America to send red wine. We also had a chat.

I said that you do something more meaningful than doing training.

It means opening a window and giving us the opportunity to see the outside world. If there is no bridge, we have no chance to experience it.

We cannot find a place to spend money.

She said that I myself have gained a lot.

I said that sometimes chatting with other people may cause people to say something unintentional. It makes us very inspired. It is much better than lectures. We can see and feel that it is really shocking.

Travel is just watching the scene and it is difficult to go deeper.

What about this model? It is another different kind of scenery.

It's more attractive to us.

I said that, in fact, you can expand the geographical scope of the country and include celebrities in your goals.

She said that it needs to be gradual.

I said that the fees can be higher and the frequency reduced. For example, only 12 issues a year are needed.

If I am a well-known Chinese writer, then you can do my lunch, for example, 5,000 yuan per person, 10 people, and everyone can Asking questions, in fact, you are the biggest beneficiary.

As for the cost of our three points, you have one, I have one, donated one, linked to the public interest.

She said, good!

I said that everyone has a price tag. Apart from the front line business people, if you have lunch for 20,000 yuan, you have to pay for lunch or you have a higher price tag. At least, the writer can take it all.

This matter is totally unintentional.

This year, we want to be a monthly center, and talk to the market about it. We all say that it is a sunrise industry.

Then we need to do a lot of market research.

Investment is not a trivial matter, and it cannot be blind. In addition, it does not make sense from the surface. Because you cannot see the content, you need to find the real practitioners and investors and talk to them.

So, I commissioned Meimei to help me find a better month center in Shandong.

When she went up, she introduced us to a tall building. In Qingdao, the 30-room-sized moonlight center has invested close to 20 million in the light decoration. It was also the owner who personally received us.

They are the capital operation route that they take. There are also risk funds involved, the high-end route to go, the cheaper room is 40,000 yuan/month, and the high-end one is up to 160,000. The boss said that it is decorated according to the standard of a five-star hotel.

We have three people to visit.

The boss is also very knowledgeable, but also just opened soon, the blueprint is very ambitious, in the next three years to open 17 in Shandong, and even the GEM listing plan.

The three of us had similar feelings when we went out: The store will close in less time.

why?

One of the deadliest mistakes has been made. The house is oriented towards something. If the center of the month is not north-south, it will die because the child must sunbathe and the room without the sun can easily cause depression.

There is such a tall room, smelly in the hallway.

Management is also not standardized. For example, we went to visit and we put us in without measuring our body temperature. We only gave masks and shoe covers to each person. When we visited the room, we encountered a nurse lying on the couch and sneaking.

The boss knows about the monthly center that it is simply superficial. He thinks that the month center is nothing more than a five-star hotel + medical care service.

Therefore, he used all the hardware on the blade and introduced the hardware during the introduction. What is this TV? The brand's shower card was what it was. The shower was introduced for a long time...

I asked the two teachers accompanying me: Are you, will you come here for a confinement?

The answer is NO.

We recognize this market, but we cannot blindly, because the market is in the incubation period. It is the entire industry that is in the cultivation period.

Even the oldest and most expensive month center has been opened for so many years, but it is only a few hundred customers. If there are more than one thousand, a city may have more than a thousand customers and fewer counties.

The future will surely increase.

Can we survive the cold winter?

When we don’t make money, will we still stick to our hearts? For example, health, food, service.

Later, we heard that Fu Manyuan did a good job and contacted Zhang. I wanted to go through the inspections. Zhang always reminded her that she must be informed one day in advance so that she would be prepared to prepare some classic monthly meals for us to experience. Some time.

I am very curious, what does the monthly meal mean?

In my understanding, the monthly meal is old hen stew, meaning nothing.

Let's go.

Being stopped at the door, identifying the identity, measuring body temperature, wearing protective gear, giving us a very formal feeling, and one thing is particularly good, that is, fingerprint verification, can ensure the personal safety of the mother and baby.

The rooms are generally decorated and some are out of date, but the overall humanistic atmosphere and management atmosphere are particularly good. After a chat, Mr. Zhang talked about the view that the core of the month-month center is actually the monthly meal + service process, that is, the soft culture. Is the core competitiveness, hardware is not a core competence, not that hardware is not important, as long as the sun, health, quiet, warm enough, no fancy.

The entire process was visited and it was quite beyond my expectations.

Especially the experience of the monthly meal, I did a great job. There were cakes, fruit, soup, and meat, all of which were small dishes. It was a bit like the meal I was eating at the local tyrants.

I felt a bit special at that time. Deep, if it were to open such a private dish, it would be a perfect fire. In fact, I would say that everyone would understand it as an advertisement. In fact, it is really good. At least in the north, we rarely encounter such delicate meals. In the south, there are, for example, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Or three of us went to visit.

On the return journey, we all talked about the shock of the monthly meal to ourselves, and we repeatedly pondered a bit. In fact, confinement is to eat and what to eat is important. Why do you eat so well and lose weight? It is the amount of grasp, just right, a month to lose 20 pounds.

They are not heavy meals.

When we left, we had some regrets that we didn’t let go. It was mainly the whole process of busy exchanges.

We were not too shy to say that we were too ugly to eat. Zhang always reminded us not to look at the number of samples, but in the afternoon there were 4 More points will be hungry, and sure enough...

Before we went there was a general budget of 1.5 million or so. However, after returning from the visit, we felt that there was a budget of 300,000, because the kitchen would require 300,000 investment, and we may have misunderstandings about the understanding of the monthly center. It is actually not the case that the emphasis is on the care of the child and the shaping of the mother.

Another point is that we must treat it rationally, that is, open 10 homes may die.

In other words, we have 80% probability of failure.

This is the truth.

what is the reason?

Everyone overestimated themselves and underestimated the market. They always felt that they had touched the door and went to visit several homes to be able to touch the pulse. This is not the case.

This is a systematic project. Zhang Zeng told us this sentence: If you are ready to devote the rest of your life to the monthly center, then this matter will surely become a success. If you want to work part-time or be a shopkeeper, you must not be fooled.

Makes sense.

The franchise fee is 300,000. There is a support period, which is to help with it. I also talked with partners about the cooperation model. She didn’t have much doubt about her initial fee. She talked a bit: In fact, Zhang’s sentence is worth it. For money, she said that the house must not be chosen for something.

Before this, the houses we selected were all east-west oriented. We did not think about this issue at all.

The core is to find a house.

I think now that entrepreneurship, capital is not a problem, as long as there are good projects, everyone is willing to follow the vote, but it is still very difficult to really do things, need full-hearted input, handling trivial matter, in fact, our county is the most suitable for the month In the sub-center, there are top-three hospitals that can radiate three or four neighboring counties, and our location is very special. The distance from Linyi City is the same as that of Qingdao Jinan, which is 2 hours. The one who made the first one is the easiest to survive. ......

Actually, for this matter, I only want to be an investor. As a shareholder, I can help a lot, such as coordinating some resources and the like. At the same time, I can pull many customers.

Even if I am not pregnant yet, I can help them. Signing the slip as I can enrich my life experience may lead me to writing this book.

Of course, people may not need my funds, but as long as things can be done, I am quite happy because I learned a lot during the inspection process. For example, when we visited Fumanyuan, the light management manual was as thick as a dictionary.

There is one thing I think is particularly bullish, that is, each person is a member of a number of positions, staggering the time, very good, and talented people are highly efficient.

Come back, I talked about these experiences with Meier. She said that she can actually open up a sign shop and join the whole country.

I talked about my own ideas.

I think that if it is a lie fee, this gameplay is not a problem, and it does have such a play, but if you want to pursue success rate, then it is too difficult, because it can be done is a probability problem, and the probability is very small, and all aspects are There is a relationship, the boss is doing things for the people, the house is facing or even for heating...

So, I don't think this path is feasible.

This is something that has inspired me a lot. It was before our visit that our little partners prepared a series of questions, consulted one by one, and took notes seriously.

I think this is the attitude of doing things. Carefully. Demonstrating that the inspection of the market is very important, both the avant-garde investment awareness and rational investment attitude.

Even if the result of the final argument is that this is not possible, it is also meaningful.

In addition, I also have a new understanding of investment promotion. For example, now the monthly center is the outlet.

The monthly centers that we visit are relatively good are all need to make an appointment. The reason for the appointment is that the schedule is very tight, almost every day.

All have been inspected in the past, and things are so good that nobody joins.

Think of where to write, write so much first.
