After New Oriental got Henry's investment, it immediately caused a huge sensation in China, and even the central ~ central government was shocked, and the "News Network" that night even gave a one-minute report, which made Henry stunned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In 2001, "News Network" was still the most influential and most-watched program in China, with more than 100 million viewers. New Oriental was able to show its face in the program for a minute, which was more effective than how much money was spent on advertising, and overnight, New Oriental became a household name! The next day, New Oriental received tens of thousands of consultation calls! Yu Hongmin and a large number of other friends were stunned......

The Chinese government thinks like this: Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, has come to invest in China, and he has invested in China's education, and how much of a role this has played in China's development, and he must definitely express his strong support! Therefore, not only did the "News Network" vigorously publicize and praise New Oriental, but it also opened the door to New Oriental. As for the school land, as long as New Oriental wants it, it can get it at a very favorable price. At the same time, it is also an attitude of the Chinese government towards foreign investors!

With a strong financial resource of 12 billion yuan, New Oriental can naturally enclose land in major cities across the country. With an average of 300 million yuan to build a school, 40 schools are planned to be built across the country.

If the school is there, the teachers must catch up.

In addition to recruiting people from abroad, the main way for New Oriental is to train its own students and let them stay in school to teach. These students are familiar with New Oriental's teaching model, and under the tutelage of New Oriental, they are also qualified to serve as teachers. It has always been far easier and more useful to pay attention to the cultivation and reserve of company talents than to recruit people from the outside world! In today's China, there is a shortage of teachers, and the good and the bad are uneven. Naturally, it is undoubtedly the best choice to cultivate relevant teacher talents by yourself!

At this moment, New Oriental is painful and happy.

Too many students, too few teachers.

Too much money, too few schools.

New Oriental had to limit the enrollment of new students so as not to cause a decline in the quality of teaching.

One of the purposes of Henry's investment in New Oriental was for Madagascar, but he did not ask New Oriental anything about Madagascar for the time being, so as not to make the outside world suspect that he had a plan for Madagascar. Henry's choice to take over Madagascar was the same as Zhao Kuangyin's "yellow robe" by his subordinates at Chenqiaoyi, and they were all "forced"! Henry wanted to get the people of Madagascar to take the initiative to let Henry take charge of Madagascar, so that the international resistance would be minimal, and the United States would have nothing to say, and even if it wanted to find fault, it would have no excuse.

Therefore, before that, Henry must not show any signs of wanting to seize Madagascar! As for how to be "added to the yellow robe", Henry has a plan for this......

Subsequently, Henry prepares to merge the New Oriental Culinary School.

However, I don't know if I don't investigate, but an investigation really surprised Henry. It turns out that New Oriental Cooking School is one of the brands of "Xinhua Group", a large private enterprise in Anhui. Founded in 1988, Xinhua Group owns four major vocational education brands: "Xinhua Computer Education", "New Oriental Culinary Education", "Vantone Automobile Education" and "Paris Fashion Education".

As a result, Henry transferred the object of the merger from the New Oriental Culinary School to the Xinhua Group.

It is impossible for Henry to do everything, and the merger of New Oriental Group and Xinhua Group, Henry handed over to Yu Hongmin to be responsible. He himself took a plane to Shandong, the purpose of which is, of course, to invest in Lanxiang, in China, Henry really has not heard of other excavator schools, blame Shandong Lanxiang is too awesome, resulting in other excavator schools overshadowed!

Henry once calculated how many excavator talents would be needed for such a large place as Madagascar, at least tens of thousands......

Two days later, Henry came to Shandong Lanxiang School.

It was Lan Xiang's principal Rong Lanxiang who came to receive Henry, because of the "experience from the past" of New Oriental, so it was easy for Rong Lanxiang to guess Henry's purpose.

However, it is not difficult to see from his warm reception of Henry that he welcomes Henry's investment in Lanxiang School. Under his leadership, Henry visited the Lanxiang School. However, the feeling to Henry is not the same as the legendary Lan Xiang, and he feels a little disappointed, which may be because the current Lan Xiang is still small......

Rong Lanxiang walked while introducing the history of Lan Xiang to Henry.

Before 1988, Lan Xiang was not Lan Xiang and was unknown. This year, the army began to engage in "three industries", and Rong Lanxiang seized this opportunity, so he cooperated with the army to open Lanxiang School. The advantages of cooperating with the army are very numerous, not only can it provide factory land, but more importantly, it can also bring trainees, all of whom are demobilized personnel from the army and need training skills! From then on, Lanxiang Technical School began to embark on the road of "mythology" step by step.

After the visit, everyone came to Principal Rong Lanxiang's office, he poured a glass of water for Henry, and then said, "Mr. Williams, I heard that you just invested in New Oriental Group ...... before."

"Yes, China has a population of 1.3 billion, and I think China's education has great potential!"

Henry looked at him, smiled, and said, "Lanxiang Technical School is not bad, we all know that China's development can be described by changing with each passing day, major cities across the country are engaged in development, high-rise buildings are lined up, and a large number of excavator talents are needed!"

"That's right, in recent years, China's development speed has indeed been very fast, and the number of students who come to Lanxiang to study is several times more than in previous years!"

"Principal Rong Lanxiang, with all due respect, although there are tens of thousands of students in Lanxiang, the school is simple, and the site for students to practice excavators is too small, which completely restricts the development of Lanxiang Technical School. So......" Henry paused and asked with a smile, "I wonder if your school needs to invest?"

Rong Lanxiang nodded and said, "Mr. Williams is willing to invest, of course I welcome it!"

"I am very happy that President Rong Lanxiang can agree. As far as I know, Lan Xiang's legal person is on the side of the army, and you are just the administrator of the school! If Lan Xiang wants to accept investment, I am afraid that he must first obtain the consent of the army!"

When Rong Lanxiang heard this, he laughed, "Mr. Williams, you're right. However, since 1997, ******** restricted the troops from engaging in tertiary production, so in 2000, I bought 50 acres of land at the foot of Jinan Yaoshan and built a new campus, preparing to fight alone and decouple Lanxiang Technical School from the army!!"

This is good!

Henry also doesn't want to deal with the military, trouble!

Rong Lanxiang continued: "If we can get your investment, we can not only speed up the construction of the new campus, but also expand the area of the campus, and the entire Lanxiang Technical School can also move there quickly!"

"Okay, I can invest you now!" Henry thought for a moment and said, "Is 3 billion yuan enough?!"

"Enough is enough!" Rong Lanxiang nodded again and again, and said secretly, he is worthy of being the richest man in the world, and he has made an extraordinary move, and he will open his mouth for 3 billion yuan!

"Mr. Williams, how much do you intend to share?"

"60% isn't much!" Henry laughed.

"No more, no more!" Rong Lanxiang agreed without much thought, with the 3 billion yuan development funds, buy land, expand the campus, recruit more students, once the scale comes up, not only the tuition fee makes money, but also in food, clothing, housing and transportation, entertainment consumption, etc., Lanxiang Technical School can participate in it, and it will make a lot of money!

"Then I'll have the lawyer draw up the contract and sign it tomorrow!" said Henry.

"Okay, no problem......"

So, the very next day, Henry completed his investment plan for Lan Xiang. At the same time, Yu Hongmin has been in contact with Xinhua Group, of course, the result of the negotiation on their side is not as fast as Henry's side, how much are the assets of each side, after the merger, how much do both sides hold, in short, it is a lot of trouble, usually like this kind of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, will invite professional investment banks or financial consulting services to help, such as Goldman Sachs Bank, Citibank, Blackstone Investment Asset Management Company, etc., Henry recommended Blackstone to Yu Hongmin, because Blackstone Group is also Henry's industry.

Finally, he came to Jinan, Shandong, and Henry naturally wanted to travel here. Jinan is also known as "Spring City", because of "every spring water, every household weeping willow", there is a famous 5A-level scenic spot of the first spring in the world, including Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, Black Tiger Spring, Pearl Spring, Baishi Spring and other 72 springs, a school of Jiangnan scenery and named. Of course, the most famous is Daming Lake, at the moment, the trilogy of "Huanzhu Gege" is being rebroadcast, and the ratings are still a mess!

Just one sentence "Do you remember the summer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake?" has attracted countless tourists.

The scenery of Daming Lake is beautiful and beautiful, the kite flies and the fish leaps on the lake, the lotus flower is full of ponds, the painting boat runs through, the willow shade on the shore is thick, the flowers are like brocade, the visitors are like weaving, in the meantime, there are all kinds of pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, the distant mountains and near the water and the clear sky are integrated into one color, just like a huge color picture scroll. Henry was in the middle of it, and he didn't feel like he was in a fairyland. At this time, Henry couldn't help but think of Zhao Wei, Fan Bingbing, and Lin Xinru, who will all be big stars in the future, so it is advisable to sign them into their own company as soon as possible.

If the "Three Sisters of Huanzhu" were all their own...... Uh, artist, how does this feel?!

Since Henry invested in the establishment of Hengdian, he has modeled the model of Wanda Plaza in China as early as possible, and established IMDB China Cinema, IMDB China TV Drama Business Company, IMDB China Film Investment Company and IMDB China Agent Company. Under Henry's sheep herding management, these companies have developed impressively. Some of China's more popular TV dramas, movies, and imdb have participated in the investment, such as the TV series "Deep Love and Rain", which is being broadcast in 2001 and will definitely be the ratings champion, is invested and filmed by IMDB China TV Drama Company, for example, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is invested by IMDB China Pictures Investment Company, and the Chinese New Year blockbuster to be released at the end of 2001 - "Big Shot" directed by Feng Xiaogang also has IMDB China Film Investment Company to participate in the investment.

It's a pity for Henry that although IMDB has signed a lot of actors, there are no Zhao Wei, Fan Bingbing and Ruby Lin.

Zhao Wei did not join the brokerage company, but she has an independent broker - her sister-in-law Chen Rong.

Ruby Lin signed a contract with Zhongjie Culture Communication Company and became its artist, the strength of this company seems to be not good, and it is not well-known.

Although Fan Bingbing is the least popular of the three, in 2000 he chose to sign with Huayi Brokerage, one of the most powerful companies in China.

The importance of agents or agency companies to artists is self-evident, in the following years, Zhao Wei was full of ups and downs in stability, but Ruby Lin's star career gradually declined, but Fan Bingbing, the "golden lock" who did not have many roles back then, was in full swing in the future. It is not difficult to see that it is very important to choose the right broker!

The next day, Henry left for Shenzhen, and did not intend to intervene in the merger and acquisition of New Oriental Group and Xinhua Group. Henry intends to train Yu Hongmin, so that he can take charge of himself in the future and help him manage the company!

Henry called IMDB China Broker on his private jet and asked them to poach Zhao Wei, Fan Bingbing and Lin Xinru as much as possible, if the other company can't release people, even if it is a breach of contract, it doesn't matter, it's just a big deal to pay compensation!

The headquarters of ICQ China is located in Shenzhen, and this is the first place Henry goes when he arrives in Shenzhen.

Here, Henry met Ma Huateng face-to-face for the first time, he looked okay, he was quite tall, he was wearing a pair of glasses, and he looked a little young. However, he was far from having the demeanor of a big man in his previous life, and he was very excited to see Henry at this moment, as if a pilgrim had seen Allah.

"Ma Huateng, hello, nice to meet you!"

"Hello, Mr. Williams, nice to meet you!"

Henry patted Ma Huateng on the shoulder and said, "How is it, how are you doing in ICQ?"

"Very good! After I joined the company, I realized that I used to be a frog at the bottom of the well, and I didn't expect that ICQ has so much research in high-tech fields, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, which is extremely deep, and there is no company in the world that can compare with artificial intelligence Siri programs!! "Ma Huateng said with great emotion.

"Hehe, it's okay, Google is also developing artificial intelligence, and its strength is also very strong, not to be underestimated!"

"Google?iSearch's parent company?" Ma Huateng took a deep breath and said secretly, if Google enters the artificial intelligence program, with Google's strength, it will undoubtedly be a fierce rival of ICQ.

"Yes!" Henry nodded, smiling faintly.

At this time, Henry and his party had already come to the company.

"Mr. Williams, you must have come to ICQ for something this time, right?" asked Ma Huateng.

"Yes, that's right. Henry paused and said, "Shanghai Shanda Network Development Co., Ltd., have you heard of it?"

"Shanda, isn't that Chen Tianqiao's company?" Ma Huateng wondered, "Mr. Williams, I heard that Chen Tianqiao spent all his assets to represent a game in South Korea, which seems to be called "Legend...... Are you interested in this game, though, as far as I know, this game doesn't sell well in Korea......"

Henry smiled mysteriously: "What you said is right, but maybe it will be an unprecedented success in China!"
