Silicon Valley

Seawater desalination has huge market potential, and the layout of this area is undoubtedly an excellent choice! As for the current desalination companies, it is left to others to investigate and acquire them. Henry is not familiar with this industry, he just needs to master the general direction!

...

As time passes by, so does the internet winter. At present, Henry is speeding up the acquisition of Internet companies.

Last week, Time Warner invested $50 billion in the merger of AOL America Online, which caught Henry by surprise. He wanted to buy AOL's Global Online and Twitter later, but AOL was bought by Time Warner!

Time Warner is one of the largest media giants in the world with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars. It owns Warner Films, Time, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, HBO, DC Comics and other globally influential companies. The media, after the acquisition of AOL, has acquired a global online website and Twitter, which is even more powerful!

Henry was a little depressed and regretted, and decided to change the name of the ICQ portal and create a new portal brand! The other party is called "Global Online", and his side is called "Daily Planet", and it has the same name as the newspaper in the movie "Superman".

However, when Henry sent someone to the domain name management company to apply for a domain name, he was told that other companies had already used the domain name. So, Henry asked people to investigate the company, but the report he got made him laugh and laugh!

The "Daily Planet" company is actually a brothel. Of course, it can be called a nightclub or a custom shop. "Daily Planet" is the leader of Melbourne's porn industry, and has won the title of "Best Custom Shop in Australia" for 7 consecutive years. The funny thing is, the company planned to go public in 1994, but it didn't work out. But in 2003, "Daily Planet" was successfully listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, which was astounding!

"Daily Planet", as the world's first listed prostitute...custom shop, is of course extraordinary. Andrew Harris, the company's chief executive, said: "We will take this business, one of the symbols of Australia, to the level of an internationally renowned enterprise!!!"

Well, if this company can really achieve the level of an internationally renowned enterprise, it is simply admirable.

"Boss, the domain name was used by them, you see... do you want to acquire this company?" a subordinate said tentatively.

Hearing this, Henry choked abruptly, and couldn't help looking around. Kaelina and the others were not around, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Nima, don't you know how to put it up a little more euphemistically about buying a brothel? And it's still at Williams Manor!

"Boss, Daily Planet is a very high-end custom shop in Australia, and it operates a five-star hotel! Daily Planet's income comes from the hotel rentals of customers. Although those sexy girls are the signature of this hotel, they The income from picking up passengers is not turned over to the hotel at all, they are making money for themselves!"

Henry sat down on the sofa, thought for a while, and said, "Let's buy it, and let them change their name."

"Okay, boss!" After saying that, the subordinate immediately said goodbye and left.

Henry made himself a glass of red wine at this time, and while drinking it, he muttered, "It's interesting to be famous in Australia..."

Buying the "Daily Planet" company cannot use Henry's name, otherwise, it will definitely cause a crazy arrangement of gossip magazines. First, an offshore company bought the Daily Planet, and then the icq company pretended to spend a lot of money to buy the "Daily Planet" name and asked it to change its name.

...

In less than a week, Henry finally bought the "Daily Planet" company for $200 million.

Afterwards, Henry notified Tian Shuai, the CEO of icq, to ​​explain his general meaning.

At first, Tian Shuai thought that it would be good to replace the icq portal with "Daily Planet", after all, this new name sounds more lofty. However, when he learned what the company was doing, he was stunned.

Henry smiled and patted Tian Shuai on the shoulder, "Don't ask the hero, the name is the same! "Daily Planet" is such a good name, we can't let the company that runs a brothel ruin it!"

"Okay..." Tian Shuai replied with a wry smile.

"Hehe, don't be so sad. I have already acquired this company. Whenever you want to go to Australia to be Happy, you might as well go shopping there. I can give you VIP!" Henry joked, sipping the red wine in hand. And do.

Tian Shuai shook his head, a black line flashed across his forehead.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you, I'm serious," Henry's eyes flashed with light, "In my opinion, the Internet winter is coming to an end, and it's time for icq to acquire Internet companies all over the world, especially China and Europe. Local Although our social software is small, a single spark can start a prairie fire. As long as there are signs of development, icq will directly acquire them until we occupy enough market to form a monopoly!”

Tian Shuai nodded and said, "I understand, Chairman!"

Henry looked at the other side of the Pacific Ocean with deep meaning, where a guy named Ma Huateng had created Tencent at this moment!

After Tian Shuai returned, he quickly arranged for someone to change the icq portal to "Daily Planet", and the page design was also adjusted.

As one of the Internet giants, icq, even if it is only its portal website, has caused a lot of turmoil by changing its name.

According to statistics, users have a relatively high acceptance of the name "Daily Planet". When browsing this website, they seem to feel that their power has inexplicably improved. After three days, the market share of the "Daily Planet" portal has increased by 4.5%! Although it is only 4.5%, there are so many users in the world. Usually, even an increase of 1% is very difficult.

Time Warner, the new owner of Global Online, was a little anxious, and finally let them find out that "Daily Planet" was a brothel before. It was icq that bought the name!

So, it didn't take long for Time Warner to rely on its own huge media promotion channels to ridicule "Daily Planet". However, to the surprise of Time Warner, this actually increased people's curiosity about "Daily Planet", and they searched for "Daily Planet" on the Internet. For a time, the traffic of "Daily Planet" increased greatly, and its popularity increased rapidly!

"The Los Angeles Journal" said: "ICQ's management is really smart and understands the essence of hype. Today, the icq portal has just changed its name, and its market share has increased significantly. So far, 'Daily Planet' 'The portal has increased its market share by a total of 8%, and its popularity is even higher than that of global online. Even many people who do not have access to the Internet know that 'Daily Planet' is an 'exotic' from Australia!"
