The next day, Smith wholly acquired Pearson for $17 billion!

Finnish Prime Minister Mahmoud Aho famously said, "The most important thing to create a new economy is education!"

Henry very much agrees with this statement, and he also puts education first in the development of the country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 From the establishment of primary and secondary schools by Cisco, to the establishment of Williams University by Henry, to the acquisition of training schools such as New Oriental, Xinhua Group, and Lanxiang by China, it can be seen that Henry attaches great importance to education.

Education itself is a rigid demand, that is, it is equivalent to an absolute demand, such as necessities such as table salt, no matter what the future holds, but both children and adults need education!!

Therefore, investing in education is a matter that benefits humanity and benefits itself!

After the acquisition of Pearson, Henry decided to spin off Penguin Publishing, the Financial Times and Broker Academic, and Pearson focused on education. Among them, Penguin Publishing Group merged with Random House and West German Publishing House to form a new company, called Penguin Books, and the company logo is also relatively vivid, that is, there is a penguin standing at the door of the bookstore.

Subsequently, the Financial Times, The Economist, Ming Pao, Oriental Daily, and the largest magazine in Europe, Gunayar were merged to form the Williams News Corporation.

The remaining Pearson Group merged with New Oriental, Xinhua Group and other training schools to form Williams Education Group.

The next step for Williams Education Group is strategic expansion!

The only way for Williams Education Group to enter the world's top 500 companies as quickly as possible is to acquire. The world's three major listed education groups, Navita Group, Study-Group, and Kaplan are the acquisition targets of Williams Education Group!

Teachers are national strength!!

After the acquisition of these education groups, they will be able to have a lot of teacher resources, and the teaching level of the Williams empire will skyrocket. At the same time, there are many students around the world, most of whom are talents, and as long as they are "instigated", they may come to the Williams Empire to study, work, live, and immigrate in the future......

Therefore, the acquisition of the education group is also a talent strategic plan!

It is true that the foundation of the Williams Empire is too poor, and there must be a talent vacuum stage in a short period of time, and only when the children grow up, that is when the Williams Empire talents explode!! then, before that, can only attract talents from the outside world.

However, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This time, Henry has acquired Bertelsmann and Pearson in a row, and it needs to be digested. The top priority at the moment is to integrate resources, optimize the use, and improve efficiency! Otherwise, the company will become more and more bloated if the acquisition continues! However, the acquisition team led by Smith can collect information and launch acquisitions from other education groups when the time is right!

At the moment, Henry is writing a business plan!

Under the impact of the Internet, publishing houses, news media, and education must all transform to the digital industry. In terms of understanding the future of the mobile Internet, no one will be better than Henry, so the probability of success of the business plan written by himself is very high! In about an hour, Henry wrote the business plan.

He wants to develop three apps, one called "Earth News Online", one called "Earth Education Online", and one called "Penguin Book House"!

In the "Earth News Online" app, you can browse popular news from the Financial Times, The Economist and others, but if you want to see more, you need to subscribe. For example, subscribing to the Financial Times costs $15 a month, which is much cheaper than buying a newspaper! Unlike other places, Europe and the United States attach great importance to copyright, and citizens respect copyright more. So, don't worry too much about the FT article being stolen by other commercial organizations!

The world's largest English-language web site, iReader, is Henry's industry, and the world's largest network site, "Starting Point", is also Henry's industry.

Penguin Books has the largest traditional literary copyright, and if you add the copyright of online novels on the ireader website and the starting point website, it is simply a combination of super invincible giants! Henry naturally wants Penguin Books to merge and acquire the ireader website and the starting point website, and the network station has the world's largest publishing group as the parent company, and it will be easier to publish novels, and it will inevitably attract a large number of writers to join. In the future, Penguin Bookstore will also acquire local network sites in various countries, such as French network sites and German network sites, to create an international and localized super APP.

"Earth Education Online" APP is an online education software, Williams Education Group uses its own resources to provide online reading of video courses, online reading of learning materials, practice question banks, online answering questions, etc., at the same time, it can also provide one-to-one teaching, one-to-many online teaching services, courses involve all aspects, including all subjects and a variety of exams! Of course, most of them have to be charged.

In addition, Henry's vision is to ship the artificial intelligence program "Google Brain" that Google is developing into the "Earth Education Online" app to provide artificial intelligence to answer questions online.

"Earth Education Online" is divided into two modes: artificial online answers and artificial intelligence online answers. There is a fee for the former and no fee for the latter. "Earth Education Online" inputs all the relevant learning materials and practice questions into the "Google Brain", as long as students ask questions in the app, they can immediately give answers. This saves manpower and is more efficient, and secondly, artificial intelligence answers questions, satisfies the curiosity of learning, and increases the fun of learning!

As Google Brain stores more and more things, it will become a super top student.

If you don't know how to ask Google, "Google Brain" is ignorant! Therefore, students will be accustomed to logging in to the "Earth Education Online" APP, there are at least one billion students in the world, as long as one-tenth of them use "Earth Education Online", that is a very remarkable number, and it will definitely become a Fortune 500 company in the world! At the same time, "Google Brain" is recognized by students, which will inevitably increase Google's stickiness and play a huge role!

The main service group of "Earth Education Online" is students, and students need to communicate and share, so ICQ, Facebook and other social programs implanted in this APP should be very popular!

Starting from elementary school students, using YouTube for course videos, Google for search, ICQ and Facebook for social networking, Amazon for buying educational books, and how will other companies play in the Internet field in the future!

If the "Earth Education Online" app develops, other companies will be in a state of collapse!

Subsequently, Henry emailed his business plans to the respective companies involved.

It is easier for Penguin Book House and Williams News Group to do it according to Henry's setting, and Williams Education Group needs to cooperate with many companies to develop "Earth Education Online" according to Henry's requirements, and this cooperation is a strategic cooperation, so in order to cooperate closely with each other, Google, YouTube, ICQ, Facebook and Amazon need to invest in the "Earth Education Online" APP!

It is also because of their investment that they can do their best to promote "Earth Education Online"!

Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high!

With the joint promotion of these Internet giants, it is difficult for the "Earth Education Online" app to become popular, and if it develops into a phenomenal APP, many schools will require students to download the "Earth Education Online" app to assist learning! You can also cooperate with local schools, especially some famous schools, such as Cambridge University, Oxford University, etc., allowing them to upload their own teaching videos and learning courseware, etc., which can help them make a profit, and secondly, they can promote their schools.

With the increasing number of participating schools, "Earth Education Online" will eventually become a giant in the education industry, with a huge talent pool!!

After mastering the level, trends and hobbies of these talents, it is not easy to dig them up in the future?

At this time, the various companies saw the email sent by Henry, and after reading it, they were shocked.

"After the successful creation of the Earth Education Online App, education has also become one of the entrances to the mobile Internet! No matter whether it makes money or not, as long as these students use ICQ, it will make !!money," Tian Shuai sighed, and then instructed a secretary next to him, "Help me connect to the headquarters of Williams Education Group!"

"Yes!"

Similar scenes have occurred at Google, YouTube, Facebook and Amazon, where CEOs have reached out to Williams Education to prepare for a partnership.

Lance Heslett, the former chairman of Pearson, received a series of calls from Internet giants, and his heart was surging and almost exploded. He said excitedly and tremblingly: "It's great that Google, ICQ, Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon, the five Internet giants, are willing to help us jointly build the 'Earth Education Online' app, and the digital transformation of Pearson's core education industry will be successful!!

The others nodded their heads in unison.

Even if there are no other Internet giants to join, just a business plan of "Earth Education Online" is enough to shock everyone, not to mention that with the joining of these giants, it is like a tiger with wings, and no one will doubt that this project will fail! On the contrary, everyone is full of confidence in this project and full of hope for the future.

"With the introduction of traffic from these Internet giants, you can set a small goal for the 'Earth Education Online' APP, and then talk about 10 million first!" Just after the letters between these companies and Williams Education Group, Henry called and smiled and said to Lance Heslett, "Both PC and mobile have developed 'Earth Education Online', and now PC is still the mainstream, but in a few years, the Internet will be the world of mobile terminals, and many students will have a mobile phone at that time." The number of users of the 'Earth Education Online' app will skyrocket. Now, let's go hand in hand with PC and mobile to take the first-mover advantage!"

"Yes, that's right!!" Lance Heslett nodded.

Henry said: "Okay, let's integrate the resources of Williams Education Group first, and then launch high-quality, high-quality course content." The key to the success of 'Earth Education Online' is to look at the quality of the course, and to do education must be done with heart, so in order to make money, to rush the schedule and shoddy production is counterproductive. Therefore, the content of this part, rather than indiscriminate, must be kept improving!! and the development of app software may be faster, I can transfer some talents to the past, slow development!"

"Yes, I understand!" assured Henry in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will supervise you strictly!"

"That's good!" Henry nodded, and hung up.

"Welllet, make me a cup of coffee, thanks!" Henry called out to Welllet, and then lay down in his chair and thought about something.

"Earth News Online", "Earth Education Online" and "Penguin Book House" three apps, Henry is actually the most unsure of "Earth Education Online", because there are few companies that can make online education bigger in the previous life, let alone become a must-have download software for every student's mobile phone as Henry imagined. But the reason why he dares to think so is because he has a lot of Internet resources. Therefore, there is still a possibility of success!

Education is the need of every student, and there is no reason why this industry is not big!

However, as Tian Shuai said, even if the "Earth Education Online" app does not make money, as long as students can use the software inside, it is actually half the success. Therefore, Henry is not afraid of failure, not to mention, so many companies join forces, if they still fail like this, wouldn't it be too incompetent?!

Villerite came over with a cup of strong coffee and placed it on Henry's table, "Your Majesty, your coffee!"

Henry nodded, picked up his coffee cup, and drank it to refresh himself. Because the next thing Henry has to deal with involves the territorial sovereignty of other countries, and Henry wants to annex these countries, so he must be full of spirit and go all out!!
