The amazing new business model is rare. . .
Even in this era of great chaos. \' Many start-
Ups positioned themselves as \"disrupting\" because they felt they had to die or had to die. So they reach.
And it hardly works.
There are few truly disruptive business models.
Of course, most of the entrepreneurs now are guided by their CMOs, PR managers, or venture capitalists to make bold, rude statements such as \"we are destroying the status quo, \"Upgrade time\" or \"re-invention (insert here)industry.
But most of them are hollow. -
They did not destroy anything.
When I met leosh Novotn, a Czech entrepreneur, I knew immediately that he had not been trained and had not listened to other people\'s scripts.
The 30-year-old Novotn Ventures, a finance and investment banking professional, experienced real changes in career and business trajectory a few years ago.
From focusing on acquisitions, big financing, and structured deals, to imagining what a truly extraordinary train trip would look like, novorinis began to have different ideas.
Like Nike said, \"do it.
\"Novotn success.
He brought people together. the services;
Obtaining government approval;
Built-in frame;
Finally, it took millions of dollars to do it on the train.
This is a shift from reviewing spreadsheets to being serious.
Novotn Europe is trying a very difficult thing: to accomplish the impossible for an industry outsider.
But novotn can\'t produceof-the-mill dreamer.
He saw and experienced the state in the worst way. run, Soviet-
In his Czech Republic and neighboring areas, the style of the train is not good.
It was out of courtesy. Never on time;
Poor maintenance and maintenance;
Lack of necessary human service such as clean bathroom, not to mention modern
Comfortable hotels like Wi
Digital Entertainment and air conditioning.
\"What a pleasant state it is --
\"The train running is,\" nowotney must have said to himself and the country --
An offensive Rune. on-
The wheels are too expensive;
The passengers kept complaining.
The ticket price is too high, especially for passengers to experience the terrible situation they have experienced ---
Passengers should be paid for taking these monsters.
A picture is worth a thousand words. . .
About the state of the country-
Train transportation. . .
If you like the real disruptive business model, Uber, Airbnb, Zipcar, the original disruptive airline business, southwest and a few others, you\'ll love his Leo Express.
Uber takes a taxi for consumers, making it fast, mobile, clean, responsible and economical, similar to what Leo Express does for Czech rail passengers, where does it start, passengers are now traveling to Poland and Slovakia.
Novotn Europe also made the same statement above as \"disrupting the current situation of the railway\", \"The time for the upgrade is up (
For train passengers)
\"Reshaping the railway industry,\" he said. -
Because he\'s doing this.
Novotn rail does not have any experience in the railway field, so there is an opportunity to make the railway experience of the Czech people better and seize this opportunity. (
Perhaps success in professional areas such as the railway industry or politics is what is needed ---
No experience and amazing fresh perspective? )
\"It all started with hospitality,\" Novotn Kumar told me seriously. \"I looked at my trains as if they were cafes or restaurants where you would want to go.
He finally laughed.
The story of our Czech investment has shifted from country to country.
In 2009, Novotn ventures began working at AAKON Capital, his family investment firm.
\"I read an article on the news that a private railway company is trying to get into the rail market ---they failed--
\"I think it\'s crazy,\" Novotn Kumar told me ironically.
However, it\'s not too crazy, \"and then I start thinking about it and let my investment team take a look at it,\" recalls Novo Tynes doubtfully.
\"It looks crazy and interesting,\" he concluded . \".
\"We did our homework and looked at all the variables,\" Novotn Kumar recalled happily . \".
\"We found an EBITDA of 50%!
I told them, \'Go back and see what we missed;
There must be some mistakes somewhere.
\"They did go back, nothing wrong ---anywhere.
\"At that time, we invested in a family food business with 5% EBITDA, and here we saw EBITDA ten times as much as EBITDA,\" Novotn GmbH was excited
Ham é, a family food company, was purchased by the father of Novotn foods with an annual income of about 0. 2 billion euros; 3000 employees;
\"Like Heinz,\" Novotn said, producing more than 1300 canned foods with a 80% market share.
Nowotney\'s father, Lao Leo.
Hamei has grown from 6 million euros a year to 0. 2 billion euros when it first acquired in 18 years.
\"My father told me \'I will be CEO \'. \"
\"But father,\" I told him, \"I don\'t like the business.
Having me as CEO is not good for shareholders, customers or employees.
Father was very angry.
He told me that no one can give him the business now.
\"The disappointment of novortenis\'s father is not to die easily, but to die. . . over time.
Novotn Julio said in 2012 that it officially started in December, but the planning and analysis carried out more than three years ago combined.
We booked five trains.
Five each)
At the end of 2010, they were in December 20, \"he said. \" We started to act in January 20.
\"Of course, given the run-down trains and systems he wants to replace, Novo is not just buying any trains.
The team at Leo express is made by a Swiss company, especially Stadler and their flirting models.
This model has been widely used in Europe.
Now, which train would you prefer to take on these two trains?
\"Compared with the country --
Running a train in Czech Republic, my train is faster (
200 kilometers or 110 kilometers per hour); quieter;
It\'s much better inside. Customers like me better.
We asked ourselves and the train manufacturer, \"How do we make trains of different materials, different Wood, different metals ? \"?
We are creating a new breed, a new train with only half the weight, and we often spray air fresheners to keep our trains smelling good.
A Leo Express cruise next to a state
Running a train without air conditioning, but providing a temporary laundry line for the passenger\'s shirt, \"We paid 7 million euros for each train.
The Czech government paid £ 30 million per person.
See the difference?
I used a small air rifle. The government used a rocket launcher.
The government is inefficient because they have no ownership.
The owners of these railways are the state.
No boss comes to the office every day and cares like a boss.
I care, you can bet I will. If state-
The operating cost is 100%, while the operating cost of Leo express is 49%.
The first reason for this difference is that I care.
\"The government can\'t attract top talent either,
For them, this is another big problem that is not a problem for us.
\"One of the few female engineers, Helena zalska is a major example of the\" country \"mentioned by Novotn GmbH,\" top talent\"
\"Run the train,\" Novotn Sharma continued his long story, \"working according to the schedule that their union of operations and maintenance departments told them. The results?
Bad schedule and bad service.
Then, here, I came to run my train, not four hours a day like they do, but 12 hours a day.
Of course, we are more active in maintaining our trains, but we get three times as much production from them.
\"Then novotn offers private
\"The national railway does not need to run the train forever . \"
Then there are taxis and airlines.
\"Novo, tn, brought these heights.
Believe Americans, like Czechs, deserve a better train than a state
Lack of US rail service.
\"That\'s what I\'m doing: replacing the country with disruptive innovation themes --
Run the bureaucracy and do not accept subsidies when doing so.
To provide a very good train experience, it runs on time at a fair price, good value.
Like other airlines, there are three Leo Express-
Level of service.
All the cars have flight attendants.
Therefore, compared with train travel in Central Europe and America, seat dining alone has been greatly improved. (
Why can\'t we have this in New York?
Philadelphia wire? )
As with almost any business you can think of, the small details of service and hospitality that ensure success.
You can take economy class. . .
Business class. . .
Or advanced courses. . .
Leo Express clearly focuses on the details of providing a better seat.
Novotn coach and his team worked hard to really provide a new level of service to train passengers.
\"We have found a way to fundamentally improve the train --
Novotn Kumar said firmly, \"Our advanced optimization algorithms and revenue management have doubled the cost efficiency.
We combine this with our customers.
Enthusiasm and time for the first time
Achieve maximum value for our customers.
Replace a country
Monopoly on anything, not to mention public transport, is already destructive enough.
But Leo Express at Novotn Europe is also disruptive in terms of technology and connectivity.
\"The next generation has the Uber/Airbnb/Zipcar P2P sharing economy and Leo Express.
Soon they will be able to take Uber, Zipcar, one of our Leo Express buses/shuttles or bike paths to our train and depart from the other end in the same way.
Soon, cost-
Efficient, safe and low carbon
\"Neutral,\" said nowotney confidently. The new-
Loyalty program for \"frequent passengers\" by age train company, S :)
Mile Club not only offers various discounts for members on Leo Express trains and buses, but also offers various discounts for retail partners.
Discounts and promotions are available at the hotel.
Furniture/accessories stores, restaurants, bookstores, cafes, museums, and even attractions like \"invisible exhibitions\" where \"all the light is gone \", you try to \"find a way out\" with a blind guide \".
Different from many beginnings
I know that Leo Express is prepared when the iOS and Android apps are up and running.
The train travel company currently offers discounts with Uber on their Web pages and mobile apps, and naturally tries to deepen their partnership with Uber.
\"We have invested a lot of money in e-commerce.
\"Business Technology,\" he said, \"Uber is our main partner in the future.
\"I know very well that everyone will be a\" Delivery Man \"for other passengers \"---
Perfect reciprocity.
Just like Uber is the \"entrance\" platform for passengers on Leo express trains, Novotn rail and the team have other ideas. Like buses.
Their own brand of buses, which not only allow customers to shuttle back and forth from trains, but also in certain areas, such as Ukraine to Slovakia, buses are the only way to be effective, provide the main way to travel.
\"We currently have 8 buses and we want to double the number of buses each year,\" he said.
They broke up three or four months later.
Even started contributing EBITDA.
We are even working on a demand response that we call \"leo express\" that will make minivans like Super-
Travel through the United States with train passengers.
This requires a seamless connection with a ticket for trains, buses, minivans, Uber, no matter what the two ends are.
\"Leo Novotn technology is very focused on technology, consuming as much information and using technology as possible.
He said to me, \"Bill, the important thing is the loop. (
Elon Musk\'s futuristic ideas)
My point is: Hyperloop is a technology.
We are the operator.
Operators use technology.
At present, we are using modern trains and buses.
Hyperloop is a vision, we are a reality.
I will be the first person to use this technology.
Before that, I will spend more than 10 years developing my 120-before Hyperloop arrives-
The current railway status of the Mph train service and disruption.
\"What did the train driver of Leo express see. . .
Do you think this is even close to a state?
Did the Czech engineer see it?
Or the one from the American Railway company?
Novotn Europe and Leo Express have come a long way since entering the private sector
An alternative to the collapse of public sector services.
They now connect 30 cities for passengers;
More than 2 million passengers have been transported in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland, with a passenger mileage of more than 0. 31 billion miles.
But novortney did not stop in his hometown.
So when novorteni wants to expand his LEO Express train experience, he will naturally cross the ocean.
He\'s coming to America.
\"We are now looking at three to five routes in the United States,\" he told me excitedly . \".
\"Imagine a seamless door --to-
Traveling out, no longer owning a car, there is a lot of traffic pressure, it is impossible to park, and there is no expensive insurance.
Instead, livable cities are not built for cars, there are clean electric buses on the streets, more bicycles and green pedestrian areas, not parking spaces.
America likes railways.
It just doesn\'t know yet, \"said Novotn Kumar warmly.
If Novotn rail was able to disrupt and improve the advantages of weak train lines in central Europe, it seems to me that he would most likely have a similar effect on New York and Philadelphia --Boston-
The Washington corridor and other chaotic, frustrating American rail lines. A bullet-
