In addition to the brutal growth, the growth of the enterprise is the most effective acquisition and integration. It is not impossible for someone to grow into a strong company in a short period of time on their own, but it is too difficult. So Zhou Shi has been looking for acquisition targets within the scope of memory. However, the later he went, the fewer companies he had an impression and were likely to be acquired.

Avis is a company that is entirely the result of his own thinking, and of course, for him, Avis and Hertz are the same, he wants a car rental company with a global network.

The car rental company is a typical high-debt enterprise, as if its debt ratio has reached 100 percent, and a company with a market value of only two or three billion US dollars actually has long-term liabilities of more than 20 billion US dollars. Then the annual income is only one or two hundred million, and even the loss will be. Such a business basically does not have much value for investment. However, just look at its liabilities of more than $20 billion, you can know that the credibility of this kind of company is still very good, and you can imagine how capable it is to borrow so much money. And the annual revenue is more than 8 billion US dollars, which is also very good.

But the question is, why did Zhou Shi want to buy this company?

We know that the automotive industry is desperately trying to sell as many cars as possible, but the usage rate of these cars is not high. The emergence of the sharing economy can change many similar phenomena. For example, homestays, shared bicycles and so on.

With the development of science and technology and the upgrading of consumption concepts, people may transform cars from a kind of consumption to a service and travel service. Especially now that driverless cars are becoming more and more mature, assuming that everyone has a car need, they can immediately summon a self-driving car. Travel is likely to become a service, when we want to use the car, we shout to the mobile phone, smart speaker and other devices, when I want to go where, the system will immediately help you match the best way to travel. When you go out, the car automatically appears in front of you.

With the advent of sharing bicycles, it has become very rare for individuals to buy bicycles. Will ride-hailing and car-sharing, car rental services that can achieve fully autonomous driving in the future bring great changes to the entire automotive industry?

It can be seen that car rental companies such as Avis are really important to Zhou Shi, not only to facilitate Chery and Saab to enter the global market, but also to accumulate valuable data resources for unmanned driving technologies such as Guoke Time. It is more likely to be the trigger for major changes in social life in the future......

"We also have the advantage of acquiring Avis, that is, to complete the digital transformation of Avis, and to collect years of data, and use our artificial intelligence and big data analysis capabilities to optimize the network and vehicle configuration...... "Zhou Shi, and some did not say, such as insurance services, auto finance, etc.

"Then you have to buy Avis?" Hu Zuniu

"Avis, Hertz car rental, etc., as long as there is a relatively complete global network, and it suits us ......" Zhou Shi

"So let's set up a special fund to be responsible for this acquisition?" Hu Zuniu

"Galaxy Capital, Time, Guoke and yelp, do you want Yelp to become the leader?" Zhou Shi, Yelp has a travel service, and it is relatively easier for a U.S.-listed company to acquire another U.S.-listed company.

"I have no opinion!" Hu Zuniu

“…… I'm not asking if you have any opinions, but I want to know if it's suitable!" Zhou Shi complained silently.

The acquisition of Avis is naturally to pave the way for unmanned driving, and there is no doubt that if YELP participates in the acquisition, then Avis' focus will return to services, artificial intelligence, unmanned driving, etc. will cooperate with Time Fruit Shell.

The lack of great development in basic science shows that it is difficult for humans to do interstellar travel, but science and technology continue to progress and has not yet reached a period of stagnation. Maybe there will be a huge breakthrough in brain science or something, allowing people to control computer systems through brain waves and learn directly through the Internet...... The technology of unmanned driving is relatively "simple", and time has made full accumulation in voice and image recognition.

With Avis and Huaxia's Car Rental, it is equivalent to having a large driverless car ecological closed loop all of a sudden, with core driverless technology, manufacturing capacity of new energy traditional vehicles, online car-hailing, car rental business use scenarios, battery life energy supplement of super charging piles, and convenient payment methods. Jabbs's eco-ratification may be in his hands!

It can be said to be the ecosystem, or it can be said to be the whole industry chain, but their respective focuses and formulations are different, in fact, the two statements are very similar.

Zhou Shi's industrial layout, learning from Samsung and Jabbs, and of course, his own innovation.

The first is the core financial enterprise, which is the core of the holding, which assists him in dealing with a series of things such as equity control, and is his main source of deterrence, and can also help him hide assets. Note that hidden assets are not hidden funds, a gossip financial expert reposted Weibo that 100 Chinese deposited 7.8 trillion soft girl coins in Swiss banks. Regardless of how these funds flow out of the country, the average amount of 70 or 80 billion soft girls per person is cash! Cash! This should be withdrawn directly from the bank, or directly transferred from the banknote printing workshop of the Huaxia Central Bank???

People around the world who have $10 billion in cash don't know if they have it, but it shouldn't be a lot (speculative giants like Soros may have them at some point in the year, but most of the time they should be converted into financial assets). There are more than 100 in China, which is really a miracle within a miracle. Well, the truth of the matter still needs the information of the authoritative media, and only those who have no brains will believe it directly.

After this year, Zhou Shi except for Yahoo and Guoke's equity is directly held by him, and other times, friends, Guoke Nuts, Starlight Film and Television, and Miramax are all indirectly held through various funds.

The whole industry chain of the smartphone industry, in addition to Samsung, there is only his shell nut, although it is not as good as Samsung in the field of liquid crystal display, but in terms of chip design and manufacturing process, Zhou Shi's whole industry chain will not be bad. Not to mention that there is also a MIPS open source architecture, ARM cannot limit the development of Spreadtrum......

In the Internet industry, Zhou Shi has been involved in almost all key areas of the Internet, such as social networking, gaming, e-commerce, video, live broadcasting, instant messaging, ...... There are also artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and core core operating systems that represent the future.

If all of this can't have a chemical reaction, he has nothing to say but to admit defeat...... Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legend Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
