Silicon Valley

After Son Yejin was appointed by Henry as a certain character in "Avatar", scandals arose in vain, and various entertainment gossip newspapers reported one after another. For a while, Son Yejin became the most searched on the Internet. Henry didn't bother to pay attention to these entertainment and gossip media, so what if he kept an actress, so what if he didn't, what can I do! If you have the ability, you can also take care of it. If you can't eat grapes, you will say that the grapes are sour! ! !

As for the "scandal", the more you care about it, the more the media will chase after it.

What's more, Henry really doesn't have time to pay attention to these scandals.

In 2007, the global financial crisis was about to begin.

Although Henry handed over the short-selling of the stock market to Karina and Violet, he still has to pay attention to the development of the matter from time to time! In addition, the Mars spacecraft has been traveling for more than a month, and in a while, it will reach the orbit of Mars, and Alipay and Ant Financial will also start a large-scale expansion!

"Your Majesty Williams, hello, I'm Jack Ma!" At this time, Jack Ma, who was far away in Hangzhou, China, called Henry.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Henry asked.

Jack Ma paused, as if organizing his words, and after a second or two, he said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have heard that Ping An Insurance Group's investment in Fortis Group has resulted in a loss of more than 10 billion yuan!!!"

"Fortis Group? Is it Fortis, which has more than 180 years of rich insurance experience and ranks among the top 20 insurance companies in Europe?" Henry asked.

"Yes!"

Ping An Insurance Group made a loss on investment, and Jack Ma suddenly called again at this time. Could it be that Jack Ma wants Ant Financial to acquire Ping An Insurance Group?

Henry was slightly startled, and he understood the reason behind Ma Yun's call.

"Are you going to let Ant Financial Services acquire Ping An Insurance Group?" Henry asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty Williams!" Jack Ma said, "After the acquisition of Ping An Insurance Group, Ant Financial is going to launch Ant Insurance, which provides one-stop insurance services, covering various insurance packages such as auto insurance, home property insurance, and accident insurance. We provide a platform that includes not only Ping An Insurance Group, but also other insurance companies.

In addition, we are also preparing to launch Ant Jubao, including funds, stocks, gold, foreign exchange and other financial products.

If we can take the opportunity to acquire Ping An Insurance Group at this time, it will not only enrich the company's products, but also promote various businesses more smoothly. At the same time, it can also create more profits for the company! ! ! "

At this time, Henry was thinking that Ping An Insurance Group seems to be a very large group company in China, and it has developed into an integrated, compact and diversified comprehensive financial service group integrating financial insurance, banking, investment and other financial businesses.

There are many Ping An Banks in big cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Beijing, and Ping An Bank is a subsidiary of Ping An Insurance Group. The salary bank card of Henry's previous company belonged to Ping An Bank.

"Jack Ma, are you sure about acquiring Ping An Insurance Group?" Henry asked worriedly. He had seen the Fortune 500 in his previous life, and Ping An Insurance Bank ranked 41st and 8th among China's top 500 companies. The company is not easy. However, that was eight or nine years later.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that since I dare to raise it, I am sure of it!" Jack Ma said confidently, "Ping An Insurance Group was established in 1988 and is China's first private joint-stock insurance company. Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on June 24, the current market value is 249.5 billion yuan! Among them, the largest shareholder has no more than 8% of the shares, and the shares are very scattered! At present, affected by the huge loss of investment in Fortis Group, Ping An Insurance Group The stock price has plummeted, if we buy Ping An Insurance Group at a high price at this time, the success rate will be very high!"

"Okay, let's start buying Ping An Insurance Group!" Henry nodded and said, and then asked: "How much money does Yu'e Bao have now?"

"952.7 billion yuan!" Ma Yun replied with a smile, "It just happens to be the same as Tang Bohu's servant number!"

Hearing this, Henry couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

With so much cash flow from Yu’e Bao, it would be enough to acquire Ping An Insurance Group, but it may cause panic among users. After all, it is normal for users to worry about embezzling such a huge amount of funds to acquire other companies!

Henry thought for a while and said: "Ant Financial Services monopolizes Ping An Insurance Group. The risk is too great. If someone with a heart uses our company to misappropriate a large amount of users' funds as an excuse to retaliate, which will cause great damage to the company's credit. Then the gain outweighs the loss! Therefore, I will arrange for Williams Royal Investment Company and Ant Financial to jointly complete the acquisition of Ping An Insurance Group!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will do as you say."

After hanging up the phone, Henry stood up from the sofa, ready to go to Violet.

The person in charge of the Williams Royal Investment Company is Karina. However, she was pregnant in July last year and is now 8 months pregnant. She has a big belly and it is difficult to walk, which is very uncomfortable. However, being a mother is painful and joyful. As for the affairs of the Williams Royal Investment Company, Kailina has let Violet take over.

Henry came to Violet's office door, and then knocked on the door a few times.

"Come in!"

The door was unlocked. Hearing Violet's voice, Henry smiled and pushed the door open.

Violet was looking at the documents when she heard footsteps and asked without raising her head, "What's the matter?"

Henry didn’t answer, and went straight to the opposite side of her desk.

Violet felt that the light was much darker and was blocked by the figure in front, so she couldn't help but look up.

"Oh, Your Majesty, you are here!" Surprised, Violet quickly got up from her chair and walked over.

Henry smiled slightly, put his arms around her waist, and then sat on the European-style couch beside him.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Violet asked, picking up red wine from the coffee table and pouring Henry a glass.

Henry took the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "It's like this, Jack Ma just called me and said that Ping An Insurance Group, one of China's three major insurance companies, had suffered huge losses due to investment mistakes. The sharp drop is a good time for the acquisition. I think it is good, so I agreed. But Ant Financial has only been established for a short time, and it is still difficult to eat up Ping An Insurance Group.”

"So, Your Majesty, you came to me and wanted Williams Royal Investment Company to acquire Ping An Insurance Group!"

"That's right. However, it's with Ant Financial. A part of Ant Financial's shares belong to Ma Yun and his team. Of course, they hope that Ant Financial can also hold a part of Ping An Insurance Group. They want to run and want to run. If you don’t eat grass, how can there be such a thing! Therefore, in order to make Jack Ma’s team motivated to work, Ant Financial will be the main focus of this acquisition, supplemented by Williams Royal Investment Company!”

"Your Majesty, how many shares do we hold at most?"

"Up to 49% is enough, and the controlling stake is given to Ant Financial!" Henry smiled lightly and said, "Through multiple cross-shareholdings, 90% of Ant Financial's shares belong to me, and Jack Ma's entire team does not hold much... ..."

"Okay, I know!" Violet nodded.

"Hmm!" Henry responded, and pondered again. "Many of the Fortune 500 are insurance companies, Violet, do you think I should set up a Williams insurance company?"

"I think it's very feasible!!!" Violet said firmly, "With your financial resources and reputation, Your Majesty, after establishing an insurance company, there must be many people willing to buy insurance from your company!"

Henry nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will leave the establishment of Williams Insurance Company to you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Violet understands Henry's behavior very well, saying that he established Williams Insurance Company, but basically by acquiring other companies, he quickly became the largest insurance company in the world.

After drinking the glass of red wine, Henry left. He has a lot of things to do now.

The financial crisis in 2007 is about to break out, and the United States will be bruised and bruised and overwhelmed. At this moment, Henry is frequently inviting the presidents of African countries to visit the Williams Empire and establish friendly diplomatic relations. The purpose is to break the isolation of the United States from the Williams Empire! The Williams Empire is gathering strength, and when the financial crisis breaks out, the Williams Empire will also break out, but this outbreak is not a financial crisis, but all the countries in Africa that can be won over will be added to the "Wei Yuan" system in one fell swoop! ! !

The great vision of African integration will be fulfilled in this global financial crisis! ! !

After Henry left the office, Violet immediately began to have people collect information on global insurance companies.

The top ten insurance companies in the world all belong to the world's top 500 companies and have a long history.

Williams Royal Investment Company has a lot of money and wealth, so it directly submitted an acquisition request to the nine major insurance companies. The other one is a Japanese insurance company, so it will not be considered.

Only Williams Royal Investment Company can do such an aggressive acquisition.

These insurance companies are all listed companies, and the news cannot be hidden at all.

The global media are shocked, dare to buy the world's top ten insurance companies, but still catch them all?

Reporters flocked to the headquarters of Williams Royal Investment Company, wanting to interview how many insurance companies Williams Royal Investment Company wants to acquire!

Not long after, the company's spokesperson said: "Jiang Taigong is fishing - those who wish to take the bait! Whoever is willing to accept the acquisition of Williams Royal Investment Company, we will acquire whichever company!"

"Nine companies are willing to buy all of them?" the reporter asked.

"As long as they are willing, Williams Royal Investment Company will definitely buy it!" The press spokesman responded domineeringly.

Of course, this is impossible, and the United States and the European Union will definitely stop this from happening on the grounds of antitrust!

Insurance companies are all companies with high returns. In the past few days, none of the top ten companies are willing to accept acquisitions.

However, as the person in charge, Violet was not in a hurry at all. What earth-shattering things she is doing now, she knows best, as long as the financial crisis breaks out, the insurance company will not follow suit! Therefore, she didn't want to acquire these companies so quickly, and even if these companies were willing to accept the acquisition, she would delay the negotiation until next year.

Although no insurance company was acquired, the word "Williams" is a golden signboard.

Not long after the establishment of Williams Insurance Company, it immediately welcomed a large number of users, especially the citizens of the Williams Empire. When they heard that the insurance company was established by their beloved and great king, it was absolutely reliable!

"If I can't even trust the king, who else can I trust?"

"His Majesty's insurance company belongs to a state-owned enterprise, buy insurance here, don't worry!!!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was turbulent, and they all rushed to Williams Insurance Company, causing the company's employees to be overwhelmed, and the company's scale grew at a rocket-like speed!

However, with a large scale, there is an extreme shortage of manpower.

It's too late to even go to other companies to poach people.

Seeing this situation, Henry thought of a way to use robots to help with business.

Ever since, the most bizarre office scene appeared. In Williams Insurance Company, Eve, wearing the company's "uniform", actually replaced the employees and directly handled insurance business for users. The content of the insurance is displayed on the screen, which is clear at a glance. In addition, it is also a network office, which is fast and convenient!

Users were not used to it at first, and felt that it was a bit unreliable to let robots handle insurance business. But seeing that many people have successfully done it, I felt that it is good to use Eve, because Eve is efficient!

The novel working method can not help but attract people's curiosity, and they went to Williams Insurance Company to watch the fun, but everyone is here, how can we not buy some insurance?

Major media around the world made headlines about it.

People couldn't help being shocked and said with emotion, "It turns out that Eve is so awesome, are we humans going to be laid off?"

After seeing this, many businessmen's eyes lit up, and they silently calculated an account in their hearts. The salary of an ordinary employee is 1,500 US dollars a month, and an Eve is only 599 US dollars...

However, looking back, Eve was sold out as soon as it was launched, and it is still a real-name system, and one person can only buy one with one ID card.

"Fuck, Alpha Company doesn't know how to produce more!" Countless bosses complained in their hearts at this moment.

Doesn't alpha want to sell more Eves, and produce 50 million Eve robots every month, this production capacity is already awesome, okay!

In less than a month, Williams Insurance established 624 offices in the Williams empire, with more than 43.92 million users, which shocked the world.

Among them, there are only two or three people in charge of management in many offices, and the service window is a row of Eve. In this situation, one can't help but wonder whether the bank in the future will also become a row of Eve...
