Silicon Valley

Chapter 674: Expansion Against the Market (First Update)

After the speech, Henry was ready to leave for Hangzhou! Before leaving Tsinghua University, Henry donated 1 billion RMB to Tsinghua University for the construction of the academic building of Tsinghua University.

There is no doubt that the future name of this building will be called "Williams Building".

Later, he also donated the money for a building to Peking University. As for the name of this building, do you need to say it?

In this speech, although Henry did not clearly point out the concept of "crowdfunding", many people have keenly discovered the business model and value behind it. However, Henry is not afraid of others knowing at all. He has been imitated and never surpassed, and he is used to it. In addition, crowdfunding will be made bigger and stronger, and it will not work without strong strength!

Throughout the world, no company can compare with Henry's strength, and Henry had already written a business plan during the Olympics and sent it to Jack Ma by email. At this time, Jack Ma's team is already developing "Earth Partners" and actively contacting investors to enter "Earth Partners". As long as there are a large number of investors, it will naturally be able to attract start-up companies.

In addition to developing "Earth Partners", Jack Ma's team is also actively preparing to build the Kickstarter platform.

Henry is also too lazy to think of a name, and is used to the name Kickstarter. Anyway, the other party's company was established in April next year. Maybe because of the butterfly effect, this company doesn't even exist anymore.

If it is called Taobao Crowdfunding, it might give the impression that it is a crowdfunding platform for selling things. In fact, Kickstarter covers everything, including movies, music, art, photography, drama, web design, interior design, food, etc. Therefore, instead of choosing a serious name, it is better to choose a name that is confusing.

Kickstarter translates into Chinese as "anti-conflict jump starter", which has a close relationship with Zhongchou. However, when Kickstarter became famous, when people mentioned Kickstarter, they immediately thought of crowdfunding. Just like Google, in the beginning, who knows what Google means! But now it has become synonymous with search engines!

In fact, the naming is very particular.

On the other hand, taking a messy name has huge benefits!

If you use "Taobao Crowdfunding", because the word "Crowdfunding" is included in the name, then users will not only search for "Taobao Crowdfunding", but also "Jingdong Crowdfunding", "Baidu Crowdfunding", etc. Wait, users may enter other crowdfunding platforms to take a look, which is undoubtedly sending traffic to the other party! Especially if local tyrants buy keywords, no matter what users search for, as long as there are keywords they bought, the company will always be ranked on the first line of the search results page (SERP). Weak companies are helpless.

...

After lunch, Henry originally planned to leave for Hangzhou immediately, but there was a temporary change. Niu Hongfei, President of IMDB Group China, came to visit Henry and asked him for instructions to annex Wanda Group.

"Your Majesty, the US subprime mortgage crisis has swept the world, and various economic indicators in China have declined, and real estate has been greatly affected."

A middle-aged man with a height of about 175cm and wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat in front of Henry and said, "The Chinese real estate market in 2008 was full of changes and changes! Developers, big and small, are still immersed in the 2007 When unable to extricate themselves from the "brilliance" of the year, everything changed! Under the influence of the financial crisis, China's stock market plummeted, and a large amount of funds were locked in the stock market. The number of people has increased, and everyone's expectations of future income have declined, and they are even more afraid to buy a house, fearing that they will be burdened with heavy debts, which will lead to a deep downturn in property market sales.

The most popular vocabulary in the property market in 2008 must be "price reduction". At the beginning of the year, Vanke, the real estate boss, under the guidance of its spiritual leader Wang Shi's "Turning Point Theory", blew the whirlwind of price reduction from the south to the north. The word price reduction firmly ran through 2008 Property market always! Due to the plunge in house prices, check-out disturbances will follow. In addition, compared with last year when developers frequently acquired land at exorbitant prices, this year's land market has also turned around 180 degrees. The two words that appear most often are - failed auction.

At present, under the situation of slowing down of real estate sales, tightening of bank loans, and increasing resistance to listing, many developers have adopted some relatively conservative strategies in order to ensure the normal capital chain. However, during the cold winter of real estate, Wanda Group went against the trend and launched a crazy "offensive". In just one month, it spent 5 billion yuan to acquire 5 lands in one fell swoop, and will buy them again next year. More land! "

Niu Hongfei paused, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Wanda Group is expanding against the market. It wants to acquire land at a low cost during the period of 2008-2009, when the Chinese real estate market was at its lowest point, so as to achieve leapfrog development. In 2019, Wanda Group is making preparations for its IPO in order to increase the stock price. Once Wanda Group is successfully listed and the problem of short-term funds is resolved, it will eventually become a strong enemy of IMDB Group! Therefore, I suggest that at this time, it is necessary to acquire Wanda Group!!! "

Henry nodded knowingly.

The Wanda Group in the previous life did grow rapidly during this financial crisis, achieving the third leapfrog development. Because it is going against the trend, the location is very good, but the price is not expensive. The average floor price is half of the normal price, which has laid the foundation for Wanda Group to obtain high profits in the future.

Henry frowned slightly, lost in thought.

After a while, Henry said: "Niu Hongfei, you should immediately contact Wanda Group to initiate an acquisition. At the same time, send someone to keep an eye on their company and grab land with them. Hmph, Wanda Group is not the only company that expands against the market , and our IMDB Group!!!" Henry paused, and said lightly, "Threats and lures, try to win Wanda as much as possible! If the acquisition still fails, then it doesn't matter. I believe that under the suppression of the IMDB Group, Wanda No matter how much the group jumps around, it can only become the second child of ten thousand years."

In this life, the IMDB Group entered China and snatched a lot of high-quality land, which caused Wanda Group to develop far less smoothly than in the previous life. The current total assets are less than 50 billion yuan.

"Understood!" Niu Hongfei nodded.

Henry looked at the back of Niu Hongfei leaving, and murmured: "Wang Jianlin managed to turn Wanda Group from a state-owned company into his own private company, and he will never let go easily. I'm afraid there will be no good for Niu Hongfei to go. As a result..." As he spoke, he stood up and ordered to the left and right, "Now arrange a car to go to the airport, let's go to Hangzhou!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The acquisition of a large company like Wanda Group, which has four major businesses including commercial real estate, cultural industries, high-end hotels, and chain department stores, is bound to take a long time, and Henry has no time to wait.
