giants of the era

Chapter 363 It's okay to know, I'm just so awesome

In this era, because of Li Zetian's fueling, the development of computers and the Internet is very fast.

The Sprint company under the name of Li Zetian has been laying optical cable lines with all its strength, and from time to time, it will also acquire other telecommunications companies, enabling the Internet to cover most of the United States!Telecom companies such as MCI and AT&T have also increased their Internet services and built many Internet backbone networks.

In addition, the early appearance of Battle.net platform, "Counter-Strike", e-mail, Netscape browser, Yahoo website, and Amazon website has made the entire Internet more colorful and more attractive.

In the United States, a personal computer generally only costs a few hundred dollars, and the monthly income of an average American family usually exceeds $3000. Therefore, the penetration rate of personal computers is very high. Before the 90s, the development of the Internet was relatively slow, largely because the Internet at that time was of little use to ordinary families.

You just said, what can the Internet do at that time?
But it's different now. When connected to the Internet, you can play online games, browse websites, chat and communicate, and so on.Not to mention how adults will choose, but anyone who has children at home will definitely beg their parents to connect to the Internet, especially "Counter-Strike", which is simply too popular. May I ask which child who likes to play games does not like this game?
Yahoo website, Netscape browser, and Amazon website have all been developed for a year or two, attracting countless netizens.

Right now, the number of Internet users in the United States alone has exceeded 1000 million, and the speed of development will be even faster in the future!

The establishment of the TripAdvisor website is not too early in this era, and 1000 million users is also a huge market. What's more, what Li Zetian values ​​is the future development potential. TripAdvisor's travel website is not like an ordinary Internet company, and offline development is particularly important!
If you want to attract users, you must have "big data" and cooperative enterprises.

The first task of TripAdvisor in the early stage is to do a good job of "big data"!
Li Zetian's acquisition of hotels near the classics is precisely for the development of TripAdvisor.

With the concept of "service with a smile" and the goal of creating a "home away from home" luxury and comfortable experience, Hilton Hotel Group has nearly [-] hotels in dozens of countries and regions, including Hilton Hotel, Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Conrad Hotel, Hilton Hotel Many big brands such as Doubletree and Hilton Garden Inn.

There is nothing money can't buy, especially in a capital country like the United States.

In the previous life, the Blackstone Group acquired the Hilton Group.

Due to the oil crisis, the Gulf War, and certain reasons in the United States, the US economy has been in a recession for 90 years, and American companies have been suppressed by RB companies, which is terrible.Naturally, the tourism industry has been greatly affected.

Li Zetian sent people to acquire the Hilton Hotel Group at this time, but it was actually a bit late, and it happened to be at a turning point in the U.S. economy. If he waited any longer, he would have to pay a higher price.Because of the outbreak of information technology, the United States will gradually complete industrial upgrading, major changes in economic structure, and begin to achieve high-speed growth!
The acquisition of Hilton Hotel is part of the plan to develop the tourism industry. In addition to Hilton Hotel, there are Four Seasons Hotel, Holiday Inn, Super 8 hotel chain, etc. At the same time, Li Zetian also wants to acquire airline companies.

Airlines not only transport people, but also cargo, which is of great benefit to the development of e-commerce.

Therefore, Li Zetian really wanted to have his own airline company. In the future, there would be a place for his own private plane, and he would also have special privileges to travel conveniently. He could take off whenever he wanted.

"United Airlines and Continental Airlines mainly operate domestic routes in the Midwest and West Coast of the United States, and intercontinental routes across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, while TripAdvisor's business also starts from the Midwest to the West Coast, so..." Li Zetian closed the documents and read Said to Dongfang Yuqin, "I decided to acquire United Airlines and Continental Airlines. These two companies are now the third and fourth largest airlines in the United States respectively. Once they merge, they will be number one!"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and recorded Li Zetian's decision in the notebook.

"Yuqin, how much does it cost to acquire these two companies?" Li Zetian asked casually.

"The two companies combined are probably less than $80 billion!"

"So cheap?!" Li Zetian was stunned.

Dongfang Yuqin said with a wry smile: "80 billion US dollars is already a huge amount of money, but you are too rich, so you think 80 billion US dollars is too little. In addition, the competition in the US aviation business is huge, air tickets are very cheap, and profits are not high , Many airlines in the U.S. have gone bankrupt.”

"Uh," Li Zetian laughed dryly, "I see." He had already made arrangements for his trips, so he didn't know the situation of the air tickets in the United States.

"In that case, let's buy more airlines."

"I'm afraid that the US judiciary will intervene, saying that we want to monopolize the market." Dongfang Yuqin laughed.

"Wait for them to stop, then we will stop!" Li Zetian smiled lightly.

"Ah."

There was a mountain of documents on the desk, Li Zetian yawned and poured himself a book of coffee.

"Take a rest!" Dongfang Yuqin said softly, walked behind Li Zetian, pressed a pair of catkins on his shoulders, and then began to massage gently.

Before he knew it, Li Zetian fell asleep.

……

At the end of March, Hilton Hotel Group was acquired!
On April 4th, Four Seasons Hotel was acquired!
On April 4, InterContinental Hotel was acquired!
On April 4th, the Super 18 Hotel was acquired!
On April 4, The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong was acquired!
September……

Shock!

Incredibly shocked!
The whole world couldn't help being shocked by it, and countless people talked about it.

"Oh, God, who is the global international hotel investment management company? It's so awesome. It has acquired so many hotel groups, and it has cost at least 500 billion US dollars!"

"Cheating, I'm so fucking shocked that I can't speak, the Global International Hotel Investment Management Company is going crazy!"

"The most powerful hotel group was born!"

"..."

The media has reported.

"In addition to the usual well-known hotels, the global international hotel investment management company has also acquired many unknown hotels, the number of which is terrifying and unimaginable! "

"The most terrifying and mysterious hotel company in the world! "

Some "unknown" hotel insiders posted posts on the Internet one after another.

"Western Hotel was acquired, and that's where I work!"

"The Red Rose Hotel has also been acquired, and I am an employee there!"

"No way, so many hotels have been acquired!!! As far as I know, the hotel I work in seems to have been acquired too!"

"Fuck, the hotel company I worked for was also acquired!"

The global international hotel investment management company has aroused heated discussions among the people. Seeing so many hotels being acquired, a large wave of netizens were shocked and said on the Internet that the hotels they knew had also been acquired. A trend of hotel acquisitions swept the entire Internet .Many hotel owners can't help but laugh when they see netizens saying that their hotel has also been acquired. My hotel has not been acquired yet! !
"Who is the behind-the-scenes boss of Global International Hotel Investment Management Company?" ? ? "

Many media have expressed doubts.

In the end, the target is Li Zetian!
In the whole world, the only person who can be so awesome is Li Zetian!
In Beverly Hills, outside the door of Li's mansion, reporters were crowded with reporters, wanting to interview Li Zetian, shouting at the top of their voices.

"Chronos Li, is Global International Hotel Investment Management Company your company, are you the boss behind the scenes?"

"Please accept our interview, even if it's just to answer a question!"

"If you don't accept an interview, that's the default!"

"Besides you, I really can't think of any other person or company with such strength!"

"Chronos Li, don't hide, come out, we want to know the answer! If you don't come out, we won't leave!"

……

"Neighboring Spicy, these reporters are so fucking annoying!" Li Zetian said depressedly, "Isn't I just buying more hotels, and blocking the door every day like this? I haven't fucking caused a hotel monopoly yet!!"

Yu Jingqiu said with a smile: "If they want to know, just tell them, so as not to be annoying! It's not the same thing every day!"

"Okay, then I'll tell them!" Li Zetian nodded helplessly.

At this time, the phone rang.

Li Zetian connected the phone, and immediately a familiar voice came.

"Chronos, you are the boss behind Global International Hotel Investment Management Company, right?" Bill Gates suppressed his excitement and asked curiously.

"Uh, even you called, okay. I'll tell you all, yes, I'm the boss behind the scenes."

"You are so crazy, you have already caused a sensation all over the world!"

"Isn't this all for the development of the TripAdvisor travel website?" Li Zetian smiled and said, "With the support of these hotels, our TripAdvisor will be launched soon!"

"..." Bill Gates was speechless. Of course he knew that what Li Zetian said was correct, but the acquisition of such a company must not be all for TripAdvisor. Hotels are very profitable. Bill Gates felt that Li Zetian was obviously optimistic about the tourism industry. Only then did they acquire hotels on a large scale, and if TripAdvisor develops, these hotels will be able to help its publicity power and grab countless online users.

Shrewd!
How smart! ! !
Bill Gates sighed endlessly, but he was only envious because he didn't have that much money.

Of course, Bill Gates is still very happy in his heart, after all, this is conducive to the development of the TripAdvisor travel website.At this moment, he suddenly felt that cooperating with Li Zetian was indeed the most correct decision. This Nima website has not even been developed yet, but it already has a large number of hotel partners.

Just after Li Zetian finished talking with Bill Gates, Buffett suddenly called again, obviously he was also very concerned about this matter.Just like Bill Gates, Buffett was shocked, excited, and happy when he learned that Li Zetian was behind the mysterious overseas offshore company that caused the global media to go crazy.

"Mr. Li, you really brought me a huge surprise! It seems that it is absolutely right to cooperate with you! I am looking forward to the moment when the TripAdvisor travel website is officially launched!"

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it too!" Li Zetian smiled.

After finishing the call, Li Zetian walked out of the house. Since everyone wants to know, why not let you know, I am so awesome! ! !
In fact, Li Zetian himself knows very well that the big businessmen and dignitaries in the upper class, and even the US government should know who the boss behind the global international hotel investment management company is.

The world is so big, it is impossible for a monkey to suddenly pop out of a rock!
