Chapter 483: Pocketing the Two Giants of BAT

After much deliberation, Henry decided to establish a state in Madagascar. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven if the elite Blackwater troops are withdrawn from Somalia, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. As for how to occupy Madagascar, Henry also thought about it.

Madagascar is the least developed country in the world, and Henry gave part of the aid to Madagascar as a charity ambassador in order to win the respect and love of the local people. At the same time, a large number of Blackwater members were sent to infiltrate Madagascar and, with the help of hackers, tampered with identity data and became members of the country. Subsequently, with the covert funding of Henry, he provoked contradictions between political parties, and through bribery, assassination and other methods, he squeezed out others, quickly climbed to the top positions, and finally launched an army mutiny to seize power......

It's a bit time-consuming, but it's the safest.

Subsequently, millions of Blackwater members can immigrate to Madagascar, and with the support of these Blackwater members and their own financial resources, Henry can enter Madagascar strongly and establish a monarchy **** state, such as Brunei, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Eswatini, Vatican and other countries that are still this kind of monarchy **** government. In a monarchical system, the ruler monarch (often called the king or emperor) has all the power to rule the country and civil liberties, and the throne is hereditary!!

If the country develops well, just collecting taxes will cost trillions of dollars a year!

In the past, I used to pay taxes to others, but now I collect taxes from others, and I feel cool when I think about it!

At the same time, it can also justifiably build a strong army, there is no need to do it secretly, and the deterrent power is much stronger than before!

Telecommunications, railways, hospitals, electricity, water, etc. are owned by the monarch, 100% monopolized, how much money can be earned every year......

If the population is large and the territory is too small, it can buy land from other countries in the name of the country, just as the United States bought Alaska from Russia, and become a permanent asset of its own country! However, I am afraid that this is not necessary, Henry's ambition is in space. Build a city in the future and carry out interstellar migration!

Henry's decision has been decided, so he sent tens of thousands of Blackwater-trained spies into Madagascar, and he will continue to send Blackwater members to immigrate in the future, infiltrating the whole of Madagascar to the end!

Madagascar's coastline is so long that its coastal defenses are almost non-existent, and black water can easily transport people into the country.

As time passed, the plan to overthrow the Malagasy regime was quietly unfolding!!

……

By the end of 2000, the annual financial statements of Henry's company had been delivered.

In the six months since Henry's attack, the development of the company has certainly been affected to a certain extent, but these companies themselves operate independently and operate well, so the loss is not too great. Compared with last year, the combined revenue of all companies this year is as high as $1.5 trillion, and the net profit is $280 billion. The company left $100 billion as a development fund, and the rest was used for dividends. Henry's personal dividends are $130 billion, and if he pays $30 billion in taxes, he will have $100 billion in funds.

So far, Henry has $420 billion in cash reserves, and the IRS owes him $250 billion!

With such a huge amount of money, Henry can earn tens of billions of dollars every year just with bank interest!

Henry took a special look at the annual statements of 3721 and Baidu, two companies that were close to spending all the investments they had given them.

Under Zhou Hongyi's series of hooligan methods, 3721 has developed rapidly, and its market share far exceeds that of Baidu, accounting for 35%, while Baidu is only 10%. Although isearch still occupies 51% of the market share, it has been persecuted and suppressed by the Chinese government many times, and the market share has been seriously lost, and the future situation is very bad.

Henry is determined to get isearch out of the Chinese market, but before that happens, he will have to take more shares of Baidu. It just so happens that Baidu and 3721 are out of money and need to be financed again. At this time, Henry sent someone to inquire about the Tencent company established by Ma Huateng, and this company was more miserable. Tencent's instant messaging app was originally called OICQ, a copycat of ICQ's name, to confuse the public so that others could be fooled into registering as their users. As a result, he was sued by ICQ, and finally changed his name to QQ.

Unlike in the previous life, ICQ entered the Chinese mainland market relatively early, and there was no soil for QQ's survival. In the previous life, the reason why ICQ failed in China was that the chat history and even the friend were only saved in the computer that was in use at the time, and if you changed the computer, the friend was gone, and the chat history was gone. Europeans and Americans can afford personal computers, and this problem is not serious, but in China, there are only Internet cafes. It's no wonder if ICQ doesn't fail......

Under Henry's leadership, ICQ is now using cloud data, and any records of users are kept in the data center.

Moreover, Chinese netizens can use ICQ software to chat not only with friends at home, but also with friends abroad. Even if you don't know a foreign language, it's fine. At the beginning, ICQ hired more than 30,000 translators to improve the online automatic translation function as much as possible, and the other party will automatically translate the Chinese language into the Chinese language. What's even more powerful is that Siri voice translation has also been launched.

The vast majority of countries in the world can use ICQ to communicate with each other!

So far, ICQ has reached 650 million users worldwide, and it has monopolized the world!

QQ is not comparable to ICQ at all.

Now Tencent is almost in a dying throes, and it is said that it is carrying out a cheap sale, but still no one wants to buy it! Henry thought about it, out of feelings, it is better for me to buy QQ, as a collection.

Henry then instructed ICQ China to buy Tencent, and at the same time instructed his subordinates to let Ma Huateng stay at Tencent and let him work for him. How can I say that Ma Huateng is also a talent, a well-known copycat master, and he can be regarded as a unique general in China in the future!

After that, Henry immediately made another phone call to Robin Li to discuss the second round of financing. Henry proposed that Weifeng Capital lead the investment, including Blackstone, and Hong Kong's Kowloon Investment Company jointly invested $20 million in Baidu, with a total stake of 50%.

Baidu's situation is not very good, compared to the rapid development of the 3721 website, favored by investors from all sides, a number of venture capital companies have come to the door to negotiate financing plans. If Baidu wants to catch up, it needs a lot of money to invest in technology and advertising.

When Robin Li first received the call, he was a little nervous, Baidu and 3721 were both the objects of Henry's investment. Now, Baidu is far from 3721, and Robin Li is a little worried that Henry will no longer support Baidu.

It was precisely because Robin Li understood Baidu's situation very well that he was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Henry was willing to invest $20 million in Baidu. He knew that Henry had not given up on Baidu, and even valued Baidu more. In order to get Henry's recognition and support, Robin Li immediately agreed to Henry's conditions on the phone.

After ending the phone call with Robin Li, Henry contacted Prestige Capital, Blackstone, and the Chinese branch of Hong Kong's Kowloon Investment Company and instructed them to send representatives to Baidu to sign the financing agreement. After signing the agreement, Henry indirectly controls 67.5% of Baidu's shares through various companies!!

Shenzhen.

Tencent, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, welcomed a foreigner in a suit on this day.

"Hello, Mr. Ma Huateng, I'm Smith!"

"Hello, Mr. Smith, may I ask why you are coming to our company?" Ma Huateng wondered.

"I'm going to buy this company! This is my business card, I'm the representative of ICQ, and I'm in charge of the acquisition of Tencent!" Smith said, "However, we have a requirement for the acquisition of Tencent, we want Mr. Ma Huateng, Mr. Zhang Zhidong and Tencent's founding team to join ICQ, and if you agree, we can sign the contract now." ”

The other party turned out to be someone from ICQ?!!

Ma Huateng and the others were all shocked! They never expected that the well-known ICQ Company would actually be willing to buy Tencent.

"I want to ask, after ICQ acquires Tencent, what will happen to QQ software?" Zhang Zhidong asked.

"Do you think you still need to use QQ with ICQ?" Smith asked with a smile.

ICQ has a huge number of users in China, high visibility, and strong branding, and it is impossible to promote QQ anymore. ICQ's acquisition of Tencent, firstly, can obtain some users, secondly, it can obtain talents, and Tencent is not expensive, so it will be bought.

Smith continued: "QQ software is quite good in China's instant messaging software, and ICQ in China wants to achieve localization strategy, naturally need to know China very well to join, we ICQ company unanimously believe that Tencent's founding team is a very good choice! Mr. Ma, you may wish to think carefully! I believe that joining ICQ, a large company, will play a huge role in your future career planning!!

Everyone looked at each other, and Ma Huateng took the lead in nodding and said, "Okay, I'm okay, I'm willing to join ICQ." ”

As soon as Ma Huateng spoke, the rest of the people also expressed their willingness to join ICQ.

So, Smith proposed a contract with them on the spot and bought Tencent.

So far, two of the BAT have been pocketed by Henry, and Robin Li and Ma Huateng are both working for Henry.

As for Jack Ma, the Taobao network he created is in a difficult situation under the suppression of Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba.

At present, the situation of Taobao is poor logistics, many fakes, and bad credit.

Taobao has all kinds of problems in the early days of China's e-commerce. However, Nicholas International E-commerce has done a good job of providing services, eliminating fakes through self-management, supervising merchants, launching credit systems, and big data services, etc., so that customers can have two completely different experiences in Taobao and Nicholas International E-commerce's three websites.

"Taobao is cheap. "Buy fakes, go to Taobao. Jokes and other joking sentences spread on the Internet, and Taobao developed on fakes. Because many Chinese know that it is a fake, but the picture is cheap, they will still buy it.

In this regard, Henry was also helpless. Users don't have money, so they can't force each other to buy genuine products......

With China's economic development, people's living standards will improve, and the pursuit of material things will increase accordingly. At that time, Taobao, which is known as a "fake", will fall into a very difficult situation. The customer himself will know how to choose, and Nicholas International E-commerce can win without a fight!
