The day after the meeting, Truss and FedEx jointly established Uber, holding 80% and 20% of the shares respectively, and then recruited programmers to secretly develop Uber ride-hailing software and secretly develop. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Contrary to Uber's low profile, Cainiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. was established and caused a sensation all over the world. On August 1, 2008, Nicholas International E-commerce, together with Maersk Group, FedEx Corporation, Tesla Inc., Taobao and Williams Royal Investment Company, jointly announced that the "Global Intelligent Logistics Backbone Network" project was officially launched, and the "Cainiao Network Technology Co., Ltd." jointly established by all parties was formally established. As soon as the company was founded, it was so powerful that it was impossible not to attract attention.

Many logistics companies still don't know about rookie network technology companies at the beginning, so they feel a bit like they are facing a big enemy.

An insider of UPS Logistics couldn't help but complain that Cainiao Network was a supergiant logistics company!!

In fact, Cainiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. is not involved in logistics, but on the basis of logistics to build a set of open, shared, socialized infrastructure platform, through self-construction, co-construction, cooperation, transformation and other modes, the formation of a set of open social warehousing facilities network on a global scale.

At noon, the scorching sun was high, and in the Lucas supermarket in College Town New York, a fat man with a big belly and bare arms sat in his office and watched HBO TV series boredly. At this moment, there were several knocks on the door, and after that, a tall, young woman with long hair wearing denim shorts and a white shirt walked in.

The fat man's eyes immediately looked over, and when he saw a big beautiful woman walking in, he couldn't help but smack his tongue, stared at her long white legs, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be the beautiful Miss Betty, how is it, have things been thought through?"

"Yes, Mr. Richard Lucas!" the beautiful woman named Betty nodded.

"Haha...... So, you're willing to sell me Betty's Supermarket, which your father left for you!" the fat man sat up, picked up the Coca-Cola soda on the table, drank it down, and then put the soda bottle on the table.

"Mr. Richard Lucas, I've come here to tell you that I've decided not to sell Betty's supermarket!" Betty unceremoniously found a chair and sat down.

Not for sale?!

When the fat man heard this, he was stunned, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Miss Betty," he asked, "Betty's is not doing well, and it looks like it's going to go out of business, so I wonder why you can't sell it for a good price while it's still available?"

"Because that's my father's legacy!!," Betty said in a firm tone, then stood up and left the office.

Betty's Supermarket and Lucas's Supermarket are the two major competitors in New York University, and when the financial crisis came, Betty Sr. suffered serious losses in the stock market, which led to problems in Betty's supermarket's capital chain, and Lucas's supermarket took the opportunity to suppress Betty's supermarket, which made Betty's supermarket worse and on the verge of bankruptcy. Old Betty was angry, sad and desperate, and died with a whimper. Jessica Betty Sr.'s daughter inherits his legacy. That's when Richard Lucas came to the door and offered to buy Betty's Supermarket.

Jessica Betty naturally doesn't want to sell Betty's supermarket, but it is very difficult to get Betty's supermarket out of its current predicament. At this moment, she saw a news from TV: Cainiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. was established, and sincerely invited all kinds of partners to work together to establish an open network of social warehousing facilities!

Betty suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if she saw hope, and muttered: "Betty's Supermarket can cooperate with Cainiao Network to become a warehouse base!" In this way, Betty's Supermarket can not only get an additional income from Cainiao Network Technology, but also bring more foot traffic!! students can come to the supermarket to handle things if they want to mail things. Items purchased online by students can be stored free of charge at Betty's supermarket for easy pick-up. In addition, Betty's Supermarket can make some product flyers to send to various dormitories or directly on the package, and if students are willing to shop more than $10 at Betty's Supermarket, Betty's Supermarket is willing to deliver free to the door of the dormitory, along with the products they purchased online. Usually there is a part of the fee for delivery to the door !!of the dormitory, and students are definitely more willing to spend money on Betty's goods!

The more Betty thought about it, the more excited she became, and she rekindled her fighting spirit, and she couldn't help but find the fat man Richard Lucas with a big belly that day, and then rejected him fiercely!

If you want to buy Betty's Supermarket, there is no way!!

After Betty walked out of Lucas Supermarket, she immediately contacted Cainiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. to ask for cooperation. Cainiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. has just been established, and it needs a large number of partners like Betty's Supermarket at the moment, so of course, Cainiao Network will not refuse Betty's request.

After Betty Supermarket became a partner of Cainiao Network Company, its performance immediately improved!

In addition to Betty's Supermarket, there are many companies participating in the cooperation of the Cainiao Network, which is getting bigger and bigger, and its development speed is beyond people's imagination, with an average of 500 companies becoming members of the Cainiao Network every day.

Many large logistics companies have also cooperated with the rookie network, and the rookie network then reintroduced UPS parcel delivery company, Deutsche Post, Ryder system, Pan Albana, British Logistics, TNT Express, Gangjie International 7 of the world's top ten logistics companies as strategic partners, and FedEx and Maersk are also one of the top ten logistics companies, among which, only Japan Express is excluded.

At this moment, the media was stunned.

Lena Maika, editor-in-chief of Fortune magazine, said: "Cainiao Network will be all over the world, and the future market value may be another Nicholas International E-commerce Group !!"

Reuters: "Cainiao Network is the brightest business star in the global financial crisis!!

“……”

To the outside world, the rookie network is so explosive, but for Henry, it is just a small test. At this time, the global financial crisis did not stop because of the rise of the rookie network, and Citigroup, which is second only to Williams Bank of America in the United States, was in danger!

From February 2007 to August 2008, Citibank lost money for 18 months, customers, creditors, investors and rating agencies completely lost confidence in Citibank, Citibank's wall collapsed, and it could collapse and collapse at any time, even though the U.S. government bailed out Citibank three times in a short period of time since October last year, injecting huge amounts of money, but still facing the crisis of bankruptcy. Citibank's share price plummeted from a high of around $35 in 2007 to $1.6, and its market capitalization was less than 5 percent of the $280 billion, or $12 billion, at the end of 2006......

Henry asked Williams Royal Investment Company to short $1 trillion in the U.S. stock market, and the U.S. government kept spending money to fill the hole in order to save the market, and it was already at the end of the mountain. Despite Citibank's huge economic position and influence in the United States, with tens of millions of users, if it goes bankrupt, the country will be in chaos. However, the global financial crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States continues to worsen, and Williams Royal Investment Company has also targeted Citibank, so in this case, the U.S. government cannot pull Citibank at all. In this life, Citibank will either go bankrupt or be bought by Henry!!

Seeing that Citibank was about to go bankrupt, the U.S. government began to look for a "takeover" again.

The US Government first asked JPMorgan Chase, and JPMorgan Chase said that Citibank was too big to eat, and that it was about to "die," and hoped that the US Government would send some life-saving funds...... However, they didn't dare to touch the hot potato of Citibank.

Henry is very discussant, the U.S. government, you should ask Williams Bank of America, if you ask, you will definitely be willing to buy Citibank! And other banks, who dares to buy Citibank, Lao Tzu let Williams Royal Investment Company crazy short Citibank stock, lose them!!

The U.S. government asked all the big and small banks, and it almost didn't ask Williams Bank of America. At the moment, Williams Bank of America is the dominant party, which has a serious impact on the US economy, and if it is allowed to merge Citibank, it will be worth it!!

At this moment, a very important congress is being held in the White House of the United States.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Paulson looked anxious and shouted hoarsely at the meeting. "Ladies and gentlemen, only Williams Bank of America has the ability to buy Citibank, so we can only ...... in order to keep Citibank."

Before he finished speaking, someone stood up and interrupted: "Henry Williams has penetrated his tentacles into all corners of the United States, among them, Williams Bank of America is his industry, if Williams Bank of America is allowed to take the opportunity to become bigger, I don't know, who is the owner of the US economy, do you think it is still you? Paulson US Treasury Secretary?!"

There was a mess in the conference room, no different from the wet market, no, even more fierce than the wet market, because Treasury Secretary Paulson had already started a fight with the brawlers!

"!!Stop," US President Bush yelled, "You are paralyzed, are you dead to be the president of the United States?" You actually fought in front of me, if it weren't for the scruples about your image, Lao Tzu would have rolled up his sleeves and beaten you!

Paulson was separated, having just been punched in the face and had a trail of blood at the corner of his mouth.

If Henry had known about what had just happened, he would have laughed from ear to ear.

Bush's face turned pale, and he reprimanded him sharply: "Is it glorious to fight in the US Congress?" Paulson and Richards, why don't you two hurry up and go back to your seats and sit down!!

Bush's speech still worked, and the two honestly sat down in their seats, but when they looked at each other, they were still angry.

"Well, after hearing all that you've said, I'm going to express my opinion. Bush touched his nose and thought for a moment before he said, "I think Citibank must be preserved, and we can temporarily let Williams Bank of America buy Citibank, and when the financial crisis is over, we will ask Williams Bank of America to be spun up on the grounds that it is too large and suspected of monopolizing the market!"

"Your Excellency President, if the U.S. government goes back on its word, I am afraid that it will be criticized by others!"

"There is no need for the U.S. government to guarantee this acquisition, Citibank can contact Williams Bank of America itself!"

"If that's the case, I think it's doable!"

"I second!"

"I also second!"

“……”

On August 10, Williams Bank of America invested a total of $12 billion to acquire Citibank, and the world couldn't help but be in an uproar, and Citibank's stock price recovered on the same day.

While the outside media was boiling and talking, Henry ordered the merger of Williams Bank of America and Citibank, and the new bank after the merger was called Citibank. Currently, the central bank of the Williams Empire is called Williams Bank, and Henry wants other banks to have a different name from Williams Bank.

Subsequently, Henry then ordered Citibank's overseas business to be sold at a low price to Standard Chartered Bank and Standard Bank...... At the same time, the new Citibank has cut down its junk business and overlapping businesses in the United States, streamlining its administration and downsizing.

From now on, Citibank will be in charge of the United States, Standard Chartered will be in charge of Asia, Standard Bank will be in charge of Africa, and Royal Bank of Scotland will be in charge of Europe...... These banks have different names, but they can form an alliance, just like China's UnionPay, Henry can make a "Williams Bank Alliance" with Williams Bank as the core, and also welcome other banks to join the alliance.

As for why Henry made such a quick reshuffle, it was because he bribed the US congressmen and knew very well what US President Bush was hauling about. Therefore, without waiting for the United States to intervene, Henry took advantage of the financial crisis to sell Williams Bank of America and Citibank to other banks under his own name at a low price, and everything that was done during this special period, such as layoffs, selling subsidiaries at low prices, etc., was reasonable, and the US government had nothing to say. As for Citibank, which has been slimmed down a circle, it is still the largest bank in the United States, it has reduced a lot of expenses, but it has high-quality assets and users in the United States, and the profitability is higher. If the U.S. government still wants to ask Citibank to split, then go straight to the lawsuit, what is there to be afraid of!

Henry intends to wait for the establishment of the Williams Bank Alliance to mainly promote the Williams UnionPay card, and also launch the "Black Card" and "Supreme Black Card". Black cards do not accept applications, only banks take the initiative to invite customers to join. Only a very few, if not 0.1%, of the top customers in the world are invited.

The Black Card can be overdrawn unlimitedly, and cardholders can get services in almost all areas, providing them with the most meticulous needs, such as private and first class upgrades on daily passenger aircraft, hotel suite upgrades, personal travel consultant services, tickets to major shows, 24-hour private banking, VIP seats at various global events, and exclusive privileges at top private clubs in major cities around the world. As long as the cardholder has a request, he will do it wholeheartedly.

And the "Supreme Black Card" can only be owned by Henry and Williams royals!
