"I'll go back and write out the specific plan, and then I'll call you!" Li Zetian said.

"Okay. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett both nodded and said in unison.

"Okay, it's getting late, we should leave the hotel!" Li Zetian said.

"Hmm. ”

……

The next day, the American online chat room.

"Did you know, something big happened last night!The L.Y Foundation raised $11.1 !!billion, $11.1 billion," a netizen named "Alpha" typed out shock.

"I'll go, just kidding, how could it be possible to raise so much money overnight!!"

"Is it April Fool's Day......?

"Hehe, a fool will believe it!"

"It's just, it's an insult to our intelligence!"

The screen names expressed disbelief.

Alpha netizens were immediately angry and typed: "Damn, Lao Tzu really didn't lie, my cousin is a reporter, and he told me in person that the L.Y Foundation raised $11.1 billion at the Hilton Hotel last night." The richest man in the world, Chronos· Li attended last night's charity gala and donated $10 billion at once, without blinking an eye!!"

The netizens in the chat room exploded!

"Damn, that's the case?!! Chronos· Li is really a bombardment, I can't think of 10 billion dollars, he actually donated it like this!"

“Chronos· Li is powerful and domineering, and treats money like dung!"

"The first person to charity really didn't blow it out!"

“66666”

"Go to Yahoo and Chronos· Li's donation is posted on the homepage, and there are even photos, which is true!"

"It's really fake, okay, go see it right away!"

A group of netizens have moved to the Yahoo website, and the homepage scrolls with a message - "Chronos· Li donated $10 billion to the L.Y Foundation to help poor orphans !!.

In addition to Yahoo's website reporting on this matter, major media outlets across the United States have also followed suit.

《Chronos· Li is good, donating $10 billion to orphans, this is a real businessman with a conscience!"

"An $11.1 Billion Charity Gala Makes a Global Splash!"

……

Beverly Hills.

The 12-year-old leisurely took the newspaper and muttered: "Why don't these newspapers report on my mother? Obviously, my mother is the chairman of L.Y, and she is the person who works hardest and contributes the most! Dad has done nothing but donate money." ”

Li Zetian: "......"

Shaking his head, Li Zetian continued to write the plan.

It means "tourism", and Advisor means "consultant", which together means travel consultant, which is easy for people to understand and remember in English-speaking countries!

If the company name is Ctrip, Tuniu or something, how do these European and American foreigners know what this website is for?

The plan was written quickly, and Li Zetian had a very clear tourism website in his mind as a reference, and even the design of the website was written in great detail.

Cracking sound.

It took more than an hour for a detailed plan to be completed.

"Yuqin, help me inform Buffett and Bill Gates, let them come to our house, and say that the planning plan of the travel website has been completed. Li Zetian beckoned to Dongfang Yuqin, who was sitting not far away and was browsing the documents.

"Hmm. Dongfang Yuqin answered, then picked up the phone and began to inform, and after a while, said to Li Zetian: "Okay, they will come over at 1 o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Li Zetian nodded, and then printed out two copies of the plan, and pondered while looking at his plan.

"If the travel website company becomes bigger and stronger, it can use its recommended resources to promote the development of aviation, scenic spots, and hotels!

Huge money was received from the collapse of the USSR, which before there was nowhere to spend it, and now there is.

"There are many undeveloped attractions in China and Southeast Asia, such as resorts in Phuket and Bali, so you can buy them cheaply, then spend money to develop them, and then use the recommended resources of TripAdvisor travel websites to attract users here...... Oh, why am I so genius! By the way, SpaceX is developing a civilian airliner, and if it owns its own airline, it can produce and sell its own!"

"Yuqin, come here, I have a huge plan to tell you!" Li Zetian said.

"Hmm. Dongfang Yuqin walked up to Li Zetian and sat next to him.

"Let's take a look at the planning plan of the TripAdvisor travel website first!" Li Zetian handed her the printed document.

Dongfang Yuqin took the document and looked at it very seriously, and after ten minutes, she sighed slightly: "Mr· Li, this plan is very ambitious, build a huge database, maintain attractions around the world, hotels, restaurants, transportation, etc., users can directly complete transactions on TripAdvisor!

In this plan, Li Zetian writes about how travel sites can make money, and in addition to the most common ads, TripAdvisor charges merchants a small fee for each transaction a user completes.

Li Zetian smiled slightly and said: "TripAdvisor is an online platform, like a castle in the sky, without the support of hotels and attractions, it is very unstable. I mean, we invest in hotels, attractions, restaurants, airlines and support TripAdvisor. When TripAdvisor's popularity traffic increases, it can also feed back hotels, attractions, restaurants, and airlines!"

Dongfang Yuqin was thorough at one point, and soon understood Li Zetian's intentions, and said with a smile: "Mr· Li, you want to monopolize the entire tourism industry chain!"

Li Zetian was stunned, then nodded and smiled: "That's right!!"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, it seems that I have to become very busy again." Hotels, attractions, restaurants, airlines around the world have to be researched, pick the right ones, and then buy them. ”

"Well, that's right, but let's start with the United States. Let's take it one step at a time, don't worry!" Li Zetian said.

TripAdvisor can even start with a single state.

Around 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

Warren Buffett and Bill Gates came to Li Zetian's house together.

Li Zetian said hello to them briefly, then received a small conference room, and then sent them the previously printed planning plan.

Dongfang Yuqin was surprised after reading this plan. Both of them are no exception.

"Okay, that's great! Chronos, it's yours, if TripAdvisor develops, it will definitely become one of the world's top 500 companies! Countless attractions, hotels, and restaurants depend on us for food, and we will completely change the traditional tourism market and push it to a new level!!" Bill Gates excited!

Buffett also nodded in agreement.

This plan is beautifully written, and Buffett sees the possibility of success, especially the TripAdvisor profit model. At present, Internet companies are basically burning money, and the reason why Buffett previously excluded Internet companies is because Internet companies do not have a good profit model.

The hottest website at the moment is undoubtedly Yahoo, but with advertising revenue alone, Yahoo still can't make ends meet.

“Mr· Li, I think it's feasible!" Buffett paused and said, "Then you see, how is the company's equity distributed?"

When it came to equity distribution, Bill Gates sat down and got serious.

Li Zetian smiled faintly: "As the proposer and planner of the project, I naturally want to hold most of the shares. How about I hold 70% and both of you hold 15%?"

Bill Gates and Buffett glanced at each other and nodded, they knew in their hearts that with Li Zetian's financial resources, they didn't need other people's investment at all. The two of them were already very lucky to be able to join the gang.

"I'm fine. Warren Buffett said.

"I'm fine!" followed Bill Gates.

"Well, let's talk about the details of TripAdvisor's investment and future development!"

"Okay!"

Two hours later, Li Zetian walked out of the conference room with a smile.

The three reached an agreement, Li Zetian invested $70 million, Bill Gates and Buffett invested $20 million each, a total of $110 million as the registered capital of TripAdvisor.

"Haha, I can't wait to see TripAdvisor launched!" Bill Gates laughed, paused, and suddenly asked, "Chronos, do you think we should have a very grand press conference to announce the establishment of TripAdvisor and make a name for itself?"

Li Zetian thought about it carefully, he has always been very low-key in the Internet industry, and at the beginning of the company's establishment, the outside world did not know about it at all, and it was not until it developed and grew that it would gradually become known. And the reason why it is so low-key is that it is afraid that others will follow suit and cause unnecessary competition.

So, Li Zetian shook his head and said: "It's better to avoid the press conference, others will see that the major shareholder of TripAdvisor is me, and within a week, similar companies will spring up everywhere!"

Bill Gates was stunned, and suddenly suddenly, he couldn't help but nod hurriedly: "That's right, you're right, we must not hold a press conference!"

At this time, Bill Gates suddenly thought of Yahoo and Amazon. Now, although neither Yahoo nor Amazon has announced that the boss of the company is Li Zetian, from various clues, many people speculate that the probability of the boss behind the company is Li Zetian is more than 80%.

The company does not raise funds, spends a lot of money, and cooperates with various companies under Li Zetian's name!

Is this Nima hard to guess?

Moreover, the previous Netscape company was suddenly born, and it was finally proved that the boss behind the scenes was Li Zetian.

Anyway, Bill Gates believes in his heart that the hottest Internet companies are Li Zetian's industry, and it is still king to keep a low profile!

Buffett smiled and did not say anything, but it can be seen from his expression that after the establishment of TripAdvisor, it is not appropriate to make a noise, at least not to expose Li Zetian as the company's major shareholder.

Bill Gates smiled: "Chronos, build an Internet company, you have experience, the TripAdvisor travel website will be handed over to you in the future, what help do you need, you just mention it, Buffett and I will definitely give full support!"

Li Zetian nodded.

……

A week later, TripAdvisor was quietly established in Los Angeles, California, and then began to hire a large number of people, except for the engineers who wrote the programmatic website, the dvisor website was different from the average Internet company, it needed to run the business like crazy, negotiate with hotels, attractions, and restaurants around the world. Of course, it is okay not to talk about cooperation, and directly upload their information to the Internet for netizens to browse. However, users will not be able to book hotels, flights, attractions, etc., which will result in a poor user experience and revenue for TripAdvisor.

TripAdvisor is backed by a large financial backer, so it is natural to choose a better way to grow.

Well, Li Zetian doesn't have to worry about these, there are professionals to take care of them.

Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin are sorting out the information to see which companies to acquire, and at the same time, it will save the trouble of TripAdvisor, as long as they acquire these companies, they will naturally cooperate with TripAdvisor.

"Hilton hotels are famous in the United States, all over the United States!" suggested Oriental Yuqin.

"Well, I've wanted to buy the Hilton Hotel for a long time!" Li Zetian said, he suddenly remembered that when his career was still starting, the bank happened to auction his father-in-law's hotel, and a manager of the Hilton Hotel laughed at the group, but after so long of the incident, Li Zetian was about to forget.

Dongfang Yuqin said: "Okay, Mr· Li, Hilton is one, then you want to buy ...... next"

Li Zetian said: "TripAdvisor looks like the public, in fact, the style of the Hilton hotel is a bit high, and many people can't afford to live here. So, if you buy some high-end hotels, you must also buy some cheap hotels, such as express hotels!"

"Hmm!" Dongfang Yuqin took out a stack of materials and handed them to Li Zetian, saying, "This is the information of some cheap hotel companies that I have people counting." ”

Li Zetian flipped through it casually and said, "Look at these, I believe in your vision." Give me the information of the high-end luxury hotel. ”

"Okay. ”

……

Li Zetian first started with hotels in various scenic spots as a starting point, so soon, the news of hotel acquisitions in the United States will break out frequently, which is surprising and strange.

Still, it didn't attract much attention.

On March 20, an unknown overseas investment company suddenly launched a takeover of Hilton, which shocked the United States.

Founded in 1919, in less than 90 years, the Hilton Hotel has expanded from one hotel to more than 100 major cities on five continents in the world, becoming one of the largest hotels in the world, with high popularity, and the Hilton family is also very prominent, and it was once one of the top ten chaebols in the United States. However, that was only once!

"Damn, what kind of company is this, it's so awesome, it's going to buy the Hilton Hotel!"

"I don't know! Global International Hotel Investment Management Company, I've never heard of this name!"

"It's the first time I've heard it, but I have strong financial resources, and I bought the Hilton Hotel for $10.5 billion as soon as I made a move!"

"The U.S. economy has been sluggish in recent years, and the tourism industry has also been affected, and the development of Hilton hotels has not been smooth. Hehe, I just don't know if the Hilton family is willing to sell the hotel! If it were me, I would have sold it quickly, $10.5 billion, which is definitely a high price!"
