In this era, because of Li Zetian's encouragement, the development of computers and the Internet is very rapid.

Li Zetian's Sprint company has been making every effort to lay optical cable lines, and from time to time it will merge and acquire other telecommunications companies, so that the Internet can cover most of the United States! Telecom companies such as MCI and AT&T have also increased their Internet business and built many Internet backbone networks.

In addition, the early appearance of Battle.net, Counter-Strike, email, Netscape, Yahoo, and Amazon has made the entire Internet more colorful and attractive. In the United States, a personal computer is generally only a few hundred dollars, and the average American household usually earns more than $3,000 a month, so the popularity of personal computers is very high.

Before the 90s, the development of the Internet was relatively slow, largely because the Internet at that time had little effect on ordinary families.

You say, what can the Internet do at that time?

But now it's different, if you connect to the Internet, you can play online games, browse websites, chat, and so on. Not to mention how adults will choose, but anyone who has children at home will definitely beg their parents to connect to the Internet.

Yahoo, Netscape, and Amazon have all been growing for a year or two, attracting countless netizens.

At present, the number of Internet users in the United States alone exceeds 10 million, and the development speed will be even faster in the future!

The establishment of the TripAdvisor website in this era is not too early, 10 million users is also a huge market, not to mention, dvisor travel website is not ordinary Internet companies, offline development is particularly important!

If you want to attract users, you have to have "big data" and have cooperative enterprises.

TripAdvisor's first priority is to get "big data" right!

Li Zetian's acquisition of hotels near Classic is precisely for the development of TripAdvisor.

With the concept of "service with a smile" and the goal of creating a "home away" luxury and comfortable experience, Hilton Hotels Group has nearly 2,000 hotels in dozens of countries and regions, including Hilton Hotels, Waldorf Astoria Hotels, Conrad Hotels, DoubleTree by Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn.

There is nothing that money cannot buy, especially in a capital country like the United States.

In the previous life, Blackstone Group acquired Hilton Group.

Due to the oil crisis, the Gulf War, and some reasons of the United States itself, the US economy has been in a slump for 80 or 90 years, and American enterprises have been suppressed by Japanese enterprises. Naturally, the tourism industry is greatly affected.

Li Zetian sent someone to buy the Hilton Hotel Group at this time, but in fact, it was a little late, and it happened to be a turning point in the US economy, and if he waited any longer, he would have to pay a greater price. Because of the outbreak of information technology, the United States will gradually complete industrial upgrading, major changes in the economic structure, and begin to achieve high-speed growth!

The acquisition of Hilton hotels is part of the plan to develop the tourism industry, in addition to Hilton hotels, Four Seasons hotels, Holiday Inn, Super 8 hotel chains, etc., at the same time, Li Zetian also wants to acquire airlines.

Airlines not only transport people, but also goods, which is also of great benefit to the development of e-commerce.

Therefore, Li Zetian really wants to have his own airline, and in the future, he will have a place to put his own special plane, and he also has privileges, convenient travel, and can take off when he wants.

"United Airlines and Continental Airlines mainly operate the domestic route network in the Midwest and the West Coast of the United States, and transcontinental routes such as the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, while TripAdvisor's business also starts from the West Coast of the Midwest, so ......" Li Zetian closed the documents, looked at Dongfang Yuqin and said, "I decided to acquire United Airlines and Continental Airlines, these two companies are now the third and fourth largest airlines in the United States respectively, once merged, they will be the first!"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and recorded Li Zetian's decision in the notebook.

"Yuqin, how much does it cost to acquire these two companies?" Li Zetian asked casually.

"The two companies together are probably less than $8 billion!"

"So cheap?!" Li Zetian was stunned.

Dongfang Yuqin smiled bitterly: "$8 billion is already a huge amount of money, but you are too rich, so you feel that $8 billion is too little." In addition, the U.S. airline business is hugely competitive, air tickets are cheap, the profits are not high, and many airlines in the U.S. are bankrupt. ”

"Uh," Li Zetian laughed dryly, "I see." "His trip has been arranged, where is the situation of the US ticket.

"In that case, let's buy more airlines. ”

"I'm afraid that the U.S. judiciary will intervene and say that we want to monopolize the market. Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile.

"When they stop, we'll stop!" Li Zetian smiled indifferently.

"Hmm. ”

There was a mountain of materials on the desk, Li Zetian yawned, and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Let's take a break!" Dongfang Yuqin said gently, walked behind Li Zetian, pressed a pair of soft wattles on his shoulders, and then gently massaged them.

Unconsciously, Li Zetian fell asleep.

……

On April 5th, the Four Seasons Hotel was acquired!

On April 11th, InterContinental Hotel was acquired!

On April 18th, Super Eight Hotel was acquired!

On April 29, The Peninsula Hong Kong was acquired!

Astound!

Shocking!

The whole world couldn't help but stir up, and countless people talked about it.

"Oh God, what the hell is the global international hotel investment management company, it's too hanging, it has bought so many hotel groups, it has cost at least 50 billion dollars!"

"Fraud, I'm fucking shocked and speechless, the global international hotel investment management company is hanging to the sky!"

"The most awesome hotel group was born!"

“……”

The media reported on it.

"In addition to the usual well-known hotels, Global International Hotel Investment Management has also acquired unknown hotels, and the number is terrifying and unimaginable!"

"The World's Most Terrifying and Mysterious Hotel Company!"

Some insiders of "unknown" hotels have posted online.

"The Western Hotel was bought, and that's where I worked!"

"The Red Rose Hotel was also acquired, and I was an employee there!"

"No, so many hotels have been acquired!! as far as I know, it seems that the hotel I am in has also been acquired!"

"Damn, the hotel company I was in was also acquired!"

The global international hotel investment management company has caused heated discussions among the whole people, seeing so many hotels being acquired, a large number of netizens in shock, have said on the Internet that the hotels they know have also been acquired, a wave of hotel acquisition swept the entire Internet. After many hotel owners saw it, netizens said that their hotel had also been acquired, and they couldn't help laughing.

Who is the boss behind the global international hotel investment management company???

Many media outlets have expressed doubts.

In the end, the target is Li Zetian!

In the whole world, the only person who can be so awesome is Li Zetian!

In Beverly Hills, the door of the Li family's mansion was crowded with reporters, who wanted to interview Li Zetian, shouting at the top of their voices.

“Chronos· Li, is Global International Hotel Investment Management your company, and are you the boss behind the scenes?"

"Accept our interview, even if it's just to answer a question!"

"If you don't give an interview, it's a default!"

"Apart from you, I really can't think of any other family or company with this kind of strength!"

“Chronos· Li, don't hide, come out, we want to know the answer! If you don't come out, we won't leave!"

……

"Spicy next door, these reporters are so annoying!" Li Zetian said depressedly, "Isn't Lao Tzu just buying more hotels, and blocking the door every day? I haven't created a hotel monopoly yet!!"

Yu Jingqiu said with a smile: "If they want to know, you can tell them that you don't have to be annoying!

"Okay, then I'll tell them!" Li Zetian nodded helplessly.

At this moment, the phone rang.

Li Zetian answered the phone, and a familiar voice immediately came.

"Chronos, you're the boss behind Global International Hotel Investment Management, right?" asked Bill Gates, with suppressed excitement and curiosity.

"Uh, even you're calling, okay. I'll tell you all, yes, I'm the boss behind the scenes. ”

"You're crazy enough, you've already caused a sensation all over the world!"

"Isn't this all about developing a TripAdvisor travel website?" Li Zetian smiled and said, "With the support of these hotels, our TripAdvisor will be online soon!"

"......" Bill Gates was speechless, of course he knew that Li Zetian was right, but the acquisition of such a company is definitely not all for TripAdvisor, the hotel is very profitable, Bill Gates feels that Li Zetian is obviously optimistic about the tourism industry, so he buys hotels on a large scale, and if TripAdvisor develops, these hotels can help its propaganda power and grab countless online users.

Shrewd, simply shrewd!!

Bill Gates sighed, but he only had envy, he didn't have that much money.

Of course, Bill Gates is still very happy, after all, this is conducive to the development of TripAdvisor's travel website. At this time, he suddenly felt that cooperating with Li Zetian was indeed the most correct decision, this Nima website had not even been developed, but it already had a large number of hotel partners.

Li Zetian had just finished the call with Bill Gates, and Buffett suddenly called again, obviously he was also concerned about this matter. Just like Bill Gates, Buffett was shocked, excited, and happy when he learned that the boss behind the mysterious overseas offshore company that caused the global media frenzy was Li Zetian.

“Mr· Li, you've been a big surprise for me! I look forward to working with you! I'm looking forward to the moment when TripAdvisor is officially launched!"

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it too!" Li Zetian smiled.

After ending the call, Li Zetian walked outside the house, since everyone knows, then why not let you know, Lao Tzu is so awesome!!

In fact, Li Zetian himself knows very well that the giant businessmen and magnates of the upper class, and even the U.S. government, should know who is the boss behind the global international hotel investment management company.

The world is so big, it's impossible for a monkey to suddenly pop out of a rock!
