Chapter 684

Henry is very vigorous in his work, and the companies he will buy are listed.

China's public comment and meituan, yelp, the largest comment website in the United States, and Groupon, the largest group buying website. At the same time, there are Europe's largest comment website Qype and the largest group buying website dailydeal.

Henry laughed and said, "I can't help it. I'm too rich!"

"The takeout market is still a wind outlet. At present, there is no big man coming in, so we should be able to develop rapidly! And travel... "

At present, TripAdvisor is the most popular travel community in the world. It provides users with timely and reliable global travel information, thoughtful and objective hotel reviews, hotel index, hotel selection tool, hotel price comparison search and socialized travel picture sharing It is also the world's first travel review website. True comments from travelers are the biggest feature of TripAdvisor. At present, TripAdvisor has become a large online "database", which has a lot of information about tourism destinations, including hotels, scenic spots and restaurants.

Of course, TripAdvisor also operates its independent business unit (TripAdvisor for business), focusing on helping travel agencies reach the million users of TripAdvisor. This department covers the business listing of hotels, which aims to help hotels obtain direct orders, and the vacation rentals business, which aims to help owners include vacation rentals in TripAdvisor and provide users with other options besides hotels.

However, TripAdvisor can only be called the second giant. The first giant is Priceline.

This life is good, the distance between the two is not much. In the previous life, Priceline's market value was almost four times that of tirp advisor, up to US $67.4 billion, ranking eighth among the top ten Internet companies in the world!!!

Priceline, founded in 1998, is a tourism service website based on C2B business model. The most powerful thing is that it has created the "name your own price" model, that is, the customer self pricing system, and has carried out patent registration. No other websites are allowed to use it within 20 years!!!

Become an independent school the first mock exam in the past decade, and it is considered a revolution in the marketing mode of the Internet age. Priceline company has grown rapidly in the process of inventing and applying this model.

With its distinctive business model, Priceline soon got $100 million in financing, and its early investors even included heavyweights such as Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft. Then, in February 2001, Li Ka Shing's Cheung Kong industry and Hutchison Whampoa invested US $73.52 million to acquire 17.54% equity of Priceline (and then gradually increased their holdings by more than 30%), becoming the largest shareholders of Priceline!

"It's time to consider buying Priceline and building the world's largest travel website!"

"Willett," Henry called, waving.

"What can I do for you, sire?" Villette went up to Henry and asked, bowing.

"Make an appointment with Li Jiacheng for me!"

"Yes, your majesty!"

……

When Li Jiacheng learned that Henry wanted to see him, he flew to Williams empire on the same day. Before leaving, he said excitedly to his family: "well, your majesty Williams is going to call me. It seems that our Li family has a chance to take off again!"

Although Warren Buffet's lunch is known as the world's most expensive lunch, and often sold at sky high prices. However, the real priceless lunch is to have lunch with Henry Williams. Even Warren Buffett is eager to have lunch with him! A reporter once asked Buffett, "if his majesty Henry Williams wants to have lunch with you, how much does he need to make to satisfy you?"

He shook his head and replied, "Oh, no!"!!! You are wrong. I should pay for it! I'd like to spend 100 million dollars for lunch with his majesty Williams! "

This time, Li Jiacheng was invited, which caused a sensation in the whole of Hong Kong.

At about 11:30 a.m. on September 10, Li Jiacheng's special plane arrived at Digo International Airport, and then someone picked him up and went directly to Williams palace.

Li Jiacheng waited in the waiting room for about ten minutes, and Henry took some time to come.

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

"How do you do, your majesty Williams? Nice to meet you!"

"Sit down, please!" Henry said with a smile, "this time I invite you here, I have something to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, please let me know!"

"Well, I'll get to the point! I know that Cheung Kong Industries and Hutchison Whampoa hold more than 30% of the shares of Priceline. Therefore, I'd like to invite you here to talk about the acquisition of Priceline. I hope Mr. Li Jiacheng can facilitate this! "

Li Jiacheng is a businessman in the end, and has a far-reaching vision. He knows how to sell Henry's favor, so he can get a bigger report in the future. Without thinking about it, he said, "of course, no problem. I'm one of Priceline's directors, and I'm willing to do my best to promote it!"

Henry smiles a little. Since Li Jiacheng agrees, the acquisition of Priceline is basically certain. Of course, it's not just for Priceline to call Li Jiacheng here this time. Li Jiacheng is currently the representative of the plutocrats in Hong Kong and the richest man of Chinese people, and has attracted much attention. Henry's interview with him is similar to that of chairman Deng. Both of them are sending a friendly signal to the Chinese people in Hong Kong and even the world to welcome them to the Williams empire for development and investment!

Henry then began to talk with Li Jiacheng about some other things, such as power development, real estate development and construction after desert reconstruction, and so on. Now he reached a lot of verbal agreements on cooperation projects!

At 12:30, Henry and Li Jiacheng had lunch in the palace. After lunch, they sent someone to take him to the hotel.

"Willett, give this list to Smith and make every effort to acquire the above enterprises!" Henry then handed a printed document to Villette“ In addition, contact Ma Yun and have a video Ocean Conference at 9 o'clock in the evening! "

"Yes, your majesty!" Villette answered and took the papers from Henry.

At 9 p.m., Ma Yun's team had already opened the video, waiting for Henry's connection.

When Henry joined the video, everyone said hello to him.

"How do you do, your majesty Williams?"

Henry nodded and said, "I once said that if the bank does not change, then we will change the bank! Today, I want to say that if the hospital does not change, then we will change the hospital!!! At present, the phenomenon of arbitrary charges in many hospitals is serious, and it takes a long time to register and pay. In view of all kinds of malpractices of hospitals, I think that someone must stand up and carry out the reform

Ma Yun and others can't help nodding after hearing the speech.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Ma Yun asked.

"Now is the Internet age, then we will use the Internet thinking to solve the problems of the hospital! Alipay and so on, all kinds of complicated procedures can be settled by paying Boris, so that patients and their families do not have to wait in line. At the same time, patients can also comment on doctors and hospitals! If a doctor dares to be irresponsible, the evaluation will be very low. From now on, no patient will come to see the doctor, and the doctor will have no income. In this way, the quality and sense of responsibility of the doctor will be improved! In addition, the establishment of tmall pharmacy, patients buy medicine directly online orders, price clear, put an end to price fraud! Many patients report that the medicine in the hospital is too expensive to eat and buy! "

After hearing this, Ma Yun was very excited. He said it in his heart, as if this was what he wanted to do, which was said by Henry today.

"Your Majesty Williams, I totally agree with your decision!" Ma Yun immediately expressed support!

"Well. Well, now I'm going to say another thing Henry stopped for a moment and said, "soon you will know that a new Internet giant is about to be born..."

With that, Henry began to introduce the company he was about to acquire, and finished by saying: "payment is the entrance of the Internet mobile terminal, and review is also the entrance of the Internet mobile terminal. At present, more and more third party payment is born, and began to encroach on Alipay's market share. In fact, in the final analysis, payment is only a means, without using Alipay, users can also use other payment methods.

A red envelope war in new year, WeChat paid overnight to the third party payment meet as equals with Alipay, which illustrates the problem. Alipay's position in jeopardy is not too strong to break.

As for Alipay's development of social networking, so as to increase user stickiness, it is not feasible to show that it lacks social genes, and users themselves do not want Alipay to engage in social interaction. Because there are too many fraudsters in society, it is easy to cause personal property safety crisis.

According to the characteristics of Alipay and Taobao, comment should be its advantage. It is not impossible to start with tourism reviews, food reviews and commodity reviews, and then gradually develop into various communities. Moreover, the review itself gives people a sense of survival of the fittest. By using big data, users can quickly find things that meet their needs, and then give people an excellent user experience!

Henry talked a lot, Ma Yun and others nodded frequently.

"Your Majesty," Ma Yun asked, "do you plan to merge Taobao, Alipay and public comment?"

"Yes Henry nodded and said, "public comments can be made into a big platform, which has financial, tourism, shopping, hospital, takeout and other options. At the same time, these options can be operated independently, app can be made, and users' mobile desktop can be occupied. Because of the aura of public comments, users will definitely like it more!"

"Every comment or action of a user is a consumption habit. When we collect enough data, these users will never run away, because we can push him what he wants most and most suitable in his heart!"

……

……

Two weeks later, public comments suddenly became the focus of the world.

Williams Royal Investment Co., Ltd. has acquired more than ten big Internet companies with a cost of more than 150 billion US dollars after its acquisition of public comments, making public comments a very powerful Internet giant! After that, even merging with Taobao and Alipay can't help making people laugh!!!

"This is to do something!" Netizens exclaimed.

The industry is speculating about what Henry's layout is.

On October 1, although the resources of public comments have not been integrated, and the new app has not yet been made (the old app has been abandoned, but not used), the advertising slogan came out first: "if you have comments, you will know the best!"!!! Public comments will give you the best travel, shopping... Experience! "

Now people pursue higher and higher living standards! To watch a movie, watch the reviews first, but not the junk movies; When reading a novel, read the book review first, but not the junk novel; If you want to go shopping, read the product reviews first, and don't buy junk goods

More and more people have formed a habit of reading reviews first, so the new version of public comments came into being!!!
