Chapter 445: The Daily Planet Portal

Seawater desalination has huge market potential, and the layout of this area is undoubtedly an excellent choice! As for which seawater desalination companies are at present, this will be handed over to others to investigate and acquire. Henry is not familiar with this industry, he just needs to grasp the general direction!

……

As time passes, so does the Internet winter. At present, Henry is stepping up to acquire Internet companies.

Last week, Time Warner paid $50 billion to acquire AOL AOL, which immediately caught Henry off guard. He wanted to buy AOL's Global Online and Twitter later, but he didn't expect that AOL was actually acquired by Time Warner!

Time Warner is one of the world's largest media giants with a market value of more than $100 billion, with Warner Pictures, Time, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, HBO, DC Comics and other globally influential media.

Henry was a little depressed and regretful, and decided to change the name of the ICQ portal and create a new portal brand! The other party is called "Global Online", and his side is called "Daily Planet", and it is the same as the name of the newspaper in the movie "Superman".

However, when Henry sent someone to the domain name management company to apply for a domain name, he was told that the domain name was already used by other companies. So, Henry asked people to investigate the company, but the report he got made him laugh!

The "Daily Planet" company is actually a brothel~~ house, of course, it can be called a nightclub or a custom shop. "Daily Planet" is the leader of Melbourne~~ love industry, and has won the title of "Australia's Best Customs Shop" for 7 consecutive years. Funnily enough, the company had planned to go public in 1994, but it didn't work out. But in 2003, "Daily Planet" was successfully listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, which is really jaw-dropping!

"Daily Planet" as the world's first listed prostitute...... The custom shop, of course, is extraordinary. Andrew Harris, the company's chief executive, said: "We want to take this one of Australia's symbols into an internationally renowned business!!

Well, if this company can really run an internationally renowned enterprise level, it is simply admirable.

"Boss, the domain name is being used by them, you see...... Do you want to buy this company?" said one of his subordinates tentatively.

When Henry heard this, he choked suddenly, and couldn't help but look left and right, and when he saw that Karina was not there, he was immediately relieved. Nima, the acquisition of prostitutes~~ Courtyard, don't you know how to bring it up tactfully? And this is still in Williams Manor!

"Boss, Daily Planet is a high-end custom shop in Australia, operating a five-star hotel! Daily Planet earns all the income from the customer's hotel rental. Although those sexy girls are the signature of this hotel, their pick-up income is not handed over to the hotel at all, they are making money for themselves!"

Henry sat down on the sofa, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's buy it, and then let them change their name to Yihongyuan." ”

"Okay, boss!" After saying that, the subordinate immediately took his leave and left.

Henry made himself a glass of red wine at this time, and while drinking it, he muttered: "Yihong Courtyard is famous in Australia, which is a bit interesting......"

The purchase of the "Daily Planet" company cannot be in the name of Henry, otherwise, it will definitely cause a crazy arrangement of gossip magazines. First, the Daily Planet was bought by an offshore company, and then ICQ pretended to pay a lot of money for the name of the "Daily Planet" and demanded that it change its name.

……

In less than a week, Henry spent $200 million to finally buy the company "Daily Planet".

Subsequently, Henry informed ICQ CEO Tian Shuai and said his general meaning.

At first, Tian Shuai thought that it would be nice to change the ICQ portal to "Daily Planet", after all, the new name seemed to be more lofty. However, when he learned what this company was doing, he was stunned.

Henry smiled and patted Tian Shuai on the shoulder, "Heroes don't ask where they come from, the name is the same!" What a good name for 'Daily Planet', you can't let the company of the prostitute ~~ hospital spoil it!"

"Okay......" Tian Shuai replied with a wry smile.

"Hehe, don't be bitter. I've already bought this company, when do you want to go to Australia for a happy time, you might as well go there, I can give you a VIP!" Henry quipped, sipping down the red wine in hand.

Tian Shuai shook his head, a black line flashing across his forehead.

"Okay, no kidding with you, let's be serious," Henry's eyes flashed with a gleam, "In my opinion, the Internet winter is coming to an end, and it's time for ICQ to acquire Internet companies around the world, especially China and Europe." Although the local social software is small, it can start a prairie fire. As long as there are signs of development, ICQ will buy them directly until we occupy enough market to form a monopoly!"

Tian Shuai nodded and said, "I understand, chairman!"

At this time, Henry's eyes looked meaningfully at the other side of the Pacific Ocean, where a guy named Ma Huateng had created Tencent at this moment!

After Tian Shuai returned, he quickly arranged for someone to change the ICQ portal to "Daily Planet", and the page design was also adjusted in layout.

As one of the Internet giants, even if it is just its web portal, the turmoil caused by changing the name is very big.

According to statistics, users are more receptive to the name "Daily Planet", and when browsing this website, it seems that they feel that their compulsion has increased inexplicably. After three days, the market share of the "Daily Planet" portal increased by 4.5 percent, although it was only 4.5 percent, but there are so many users in the world that it is very difficult to increase even 1 percent in normal times.

The new owner of Global Online, Time Warner, was a little anxious, and finally let them find out that "Daily Planet" was a prostitute ~~ before, and it was ICQ that bought the name!

So, it didn't take long for Time Warner to rely on its huge media propaganda channels and began to ridicule "Daily Planet". However, to Time Warner's surprise, this only increased people's curiosity about the "Daily Planet", and they searched for "Daily Planet" on the Internet. For a time, the traffic of "Daily Planet" increased dramatically, and its popularity increased rapidly!

According to the Los Angeles Daily News, "ICQ's management is truly brilliant and knows the essence of hype. Today, the ICQ portal has only changed its name, and its market share has increased dramatically. So far, the 'Daily Planet' portal has increased its market share by a total of 8%, and its popularity is even higher than that of Global Online, and even many people who don't use the Internet know that 'Daily Planet' is a 'foreign product' from Australia!"
