While Schwarzenegger shared his inspirational story on the podium, Li Mu was studying how to maximize Schwarzenegger's usefulness.

He has a lot of things he wants to do with Schwarzenegger, and borrowing his name as governor of California and resources will be of great help to himself.

However, he did not completely take advantage of Schwarzenegger, on the contrary, he also thought of many ideas that could help Schwarzenegger improve his political performance, so that he could maintain Schwarzenegger's approval rating in California while looking for more benefits from Schwarzenegger.

After the inauguration, many media reporters flocked to Li Mu to ask him what he thought of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California.

Li Mu faced the cameras of many media and smiled indifferently: "I am very happy to see Arnold be elected to the position of governor of California, in my eyes, Arnold is not only a very talented actor in film and television, but also a politician with great political talent." ”

The reporter asked: "Then what do you think of his ability to govern, especially in the economy?"

Li Mu smiled: "I fully believe in Arnold's economic talent, in fact, he has been constantly studying how to solve California's growing economic problems before he was sworn in, out of trust in him, I will continue to increase investment in California and expand the existing business scale in the near future, enhance the cooperation between Makino Technology and California, and hope to use this cooperation to improve the daily exchanges between the people of the two countries." ”

The reporters didn't know at this time that Li Mu was ready to be a "human trafficker" who ran through both ends of the world.

……

After the inauguration ceremony was completely over, Li Mu took his private jet to Hollywood to attend Schwarzenegger's private party.

Lin Qingya was also temporarily arrested by Li Mu and sat on his Gulfstream G550 with him.

Since many Hollywood celebrities are like Li Mu, take a private jet to Sacramento, and then take a private jet back to Hollywood, Sacramento Airport is extremely busy at night, queuing up for all kinds of private jets across the city to take off.

The plane stopped and stopped in the process of queuing for takeoff, but Li Mu was not in a hurry, but discussed with Lin Qingya the idea of enhancing tourism exchanges between first-tier cities in China and California that he had promised to Schwarzenegger.

Today's China has not really entered the field of vision of the Western people, or in other words, the Western people have not yet begun to really understand this ancient Eastern country, and all their understanding of China basically still relies on domestic media reports, but there are many distortions in these media reports, so that Westerners do not understand China at all.

In later generations, with the continuous development of China's economy, more and more Westerners entered China and traveled to China, they felt the prosperity of China's first-tier cities, traveled through China's beautiful rivers and mountains, and took China's high-speed railway.

Now, Li Mu wants to use his cooperation with Schwarzenegger as soon as possible to promote cross-tourism between the people in the first-tier cities in China and the people in California, so that the people in the first-tier cities in China can come out, and even more so, the people of California will go in.

Therefore, his first thought was to quickly talk about the airlines' routes, as well as hotels in China's first-tier cities and California.

Lin Qingya also supports Li Mu's idea, believing that this idea can increase exchanges between the two sides from the deepest level and enhance the popularity of China's first-tier cities in the Western world.

So, she said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, if you want to do this business, I suggest putting it on the Taobao team to do it." ”

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me your opinion." ”

Lin Qingya said: "Although our entry point is to do the route between China's first-tier cities and California's big cities, Hotel, however, the route and hotel business itself is part of the e-commerce field, I see that Ctrip has developed very well in the past two years, and the capital is increasingly recognizing his model, in this case, we might as well open air ticket booking and hotel booking services on Taobao, do air ticket hotel sales in the early stage, and integrate many tourism resources in the medium term, directly do tourism products, and in the later stage, this itself is a large business positioning in the travel market. ”

Li Mu looked at Lin Qingya in surprise, but he didn't expect that after Lin Qingya stayed in Silicon Valley for a while, her horizons really broadened a lot.

Isn't the model she said to be Ali's flying pig in the future?

It's just that Fliggy is a little late, and the situation is somewhat embarrassing.

At the beginning, everyone did a very comprehensive job, like Taobao was almost all-inclusive, but then it was divided into different products according to various business sectors.

For example, the brand store is separated from Taobao to make Tmall, the air ticket travel is separated from Taobao to make Fliggy, and the second-hand transaction is separated from Taobao to make salted fish......

Taobao is still in the stage of "first integration", and it must first integrate all kinds of fields.

Air tickets and hotels are a very large segment in the future, and Taobao is a good time to cut in.

Subsequently, Li Mu said approvingly: "What you said is very reasonable, this business should indeed be integrated into Taobao and develop slowly on the 2C side, starting with the domestic and California business to cultivate users, and then enlarged little by little, the ultimate goal is to replace a vertical platform like Ctrip and become the first in this field." ”

Lin Qingya hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, do you want Taobao to send a marketing team over to integrate the hotel resources in California first and cut out a part." ”

Li Mudao: "Instead of this, I should first join forces with Schwarzenegger to hold a Sino-American entrepreneur salon, first bring together companies in the civil aviation, hotel, and tourism industries to chat, and we will match the bridge in the middle, even if there is no demand, I spend money to create demand, but also to build the cooperation between the two sides first." ”

Lin Qingya asked him, "You mean to buy resources from both sides?"

Li Mu nodded: "Buy, since we want to promote cooperation, we have to show sincerity, in fact, a lot of cooperation is stuck in the sincerity of this step, we want to help them sell air tickets, sell hotels, we can't just rely on the empty gloves white wolf routine, besides, we don't lack this money, it's just that I guarantee it to airlines and hotels, directly buy some of their resources, and then resell them to our target users." ”

Lin Qingya asked, "When are you going to do this entrepreneur salon and where are you going to do it?"

Li Mu said: "It must be done as soon as possible, and it must be done in Huaxia." ”

Saying that, Li Mu said: "I'll talk to Schwarzenegger in the evening, and ask him to talk to California airlines, hotel groups and travel companies in the past few days, and ask them if they have any intention of cooperating with me. ”

Lin Qingya said with a smile: "Then you should have bought a big plane, so that you could directly pull these American entrepreneurs over." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "If this matter is reliable, it will not be a big problem for us to buy an airline in the later stage." ”

Lin Qingya was surprised: "Do you need to invest so much, Mr. Li? The cost of the airline is very high." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Not only airlines can do it themselves, but also the hotels and tourism services in it can be done by themselves." If you think about it, if we can connect the four first-tier cities of Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng and Shenzhen with San Francisco and Los Angeles, then I will soon be able to connect these four cities with the United Kingdom in the same way. ”

Lin Qingya nodded, Li Mu has a very close relationship with the Windsor family, and with this relationship as a foundation, this little thing can be easily achieved.

Li Mu continued: "Then I can use the influence of the United Kingdom in Europe, and then open up France, Germany and even all the Schengen countries, we use our propaganda means, our customized routes and price advantages to attract people from these places to the first-tier cities in China, when the time comes, they take our airline flights, stay in the hotels under our hotel group, and enjoy the travel services provided by our travel companies, which can create a lot of profit space for us." ”

Lin Qingya said: "If you want to acquire airlines, hotel groups and tourism companies in this segment of business, the demand for capital is still very huge, can Taobao support such a large business expenditure?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "I just said that the entrance of 2C should be opened on Taobao, so that users can buy these services from Taobao, but these support services, from the capital level, I am ready to operate under the name of Makino Technology, because Makino Technology will start to go public in the first half of next year, once listed, the financial problem will be easy to solve, and for a company whose business is constantly rising, any normal merger and acquisition is almost cost-effective, because the market will give the company enough confidence." ”

"For example, the market trusts the ability and potential of Makino Technology, when we spend $10 billion to acquire a company at a market value of 200 billion yuan, then under normal circumstances, the market will adjust our valuation upward, and it is possible that after the acquisition, our market value can climb all the way to 220 billion US dollars. ”

In this way, it is equivalent to Makino Technology investing in airlines, hotel groups and travel companies, and then exporting these business resources exclusively to Taobao, which is solely responsible for sales. ”

Taobao is currently much worse than Makino Technology in terms of valuation, the main reason is that Taobao's business is still in the Chinese market, and it has not really played the world pattern, and the current e-commerce is still only in an embryonic stage, and if Taobao is given a few more years, he will have the opportunity to keep pace with Makino Technology.
