Chapter 205: Wishlist
Geely Hurt arranged for someone to buy Symbol, and Henry presided over the merger.
Henry has an absolute controlling stake in ICQ, but he still discussed with ICQ CEO Tian Shuai before deciding whether to merge the company into the Nicholas Group and become one of its subsidiaries.
Henry asked Tian Shuai: "What kind of sparks do you think the combination of social networking and e-commerce will burst out?"
"Unthinkable !!"
"Yes, it's hard to imagine!" said Henry, looking at him, "and would you like to see the spark?"
"Huh?" When Tian Shuai heard this, he immediately looked at Henry in astonishment, and said suspiciously, "Chairman, what do you mean?"
Henry smiled slightly, and then said: "The combination of the world's largest e-commerce company and the world's largest instant messaging software company must be very amazing!"
"Chairman, are you trying to merge ICQ and Nicholas International E-Commerce?!"
"That's right, that's what I mean!" Henry said slowly, "However, there is no need to merge, the two sides can cross-sharehold, and both will become subsidiaries of the Nicholas Group, and the main strategic development in the future will be governed by the parent company!"
"What do you mean?" asked Henry, staring into his eyes.
"Since the chairman of the board of directors has nodded and agreed, I will support it!" Tian Shuai knew in his heart that the two companies belonged to Chairman Henry Williams, and that the integration of ICQ into the Nicholas Group was just a matter of turning the left hand into the right hand! However, after the merger into the Nicholas Group, ICQ's development speed will be faster and its position will be more solid! At the same time, the Nicholas Group will also develop even more rapidly! It is indeed a matter of mutual benefit!!
However, their own shares are about to be diluted again......
Tian Shuai shook his head secretly in his heart, who called such a powerful chairman, the largest companies on the Internet are his!
Henry smiled and nodded, "Alright, then you can talk to Geely Hurt as soon as possible." Let's see how we can do it!"
"Well, okay!" Tian Shuai nodded.
Henry replied lightly, and then thought about how ICQ would develop in the future!
ICQ is an instant messaging software that currently has functions such as multi-person chat, file transfer, and text chat. Then it will also have video chat, multi-person voice conference and even domestic and international calls, whether it is a fixed phone, a mobile phone, PHS can be dialed directly, and call forwarding, SMS sending and other functions can be realized!
And that's just the ICQ itself.
ICQ also had to diversify and expand into more industries through ICQ instant messaging software. One of the most lucrative is the game......
Firefly Games is also making games, but it can be segmented.
Firefly Game Company is a large-scale competitive game, while ICQ Company is a chess and card game or some puzzle games, don't look at the game is small, but it is also very profitable!
With such a market segment, there is no doubt that the game field is monopolized by Henry!
How profitable the game is, it's a daily profit!
And the portal can also do, as long as the market segmentation, it can also grab a lot of market share. There is competition to have motivation, and there are companies chasing behind. Henry is tantamount to putting the ICQ portal into it as a catfish, and then activating the power of the global online portal!
Henry didn't want to make Yahoo's mistake with Global Online!
After more than a week, Nicholas Group announced that it has completed the acquisition plan of ICQ Company, exchanging 20% of the shares of Nicholas International E-commerce for 60% of the shares of ICQ Company.
And all ICQ users automatically become Nicholas users, and can log in directly to eBay, Amazon, and Alibaba websites.
An application option will be added to the ICQ software interface - "E-commerce"!
After this news was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation!
Experts and professors agreed. The acquisition of ICQ by Nicholas Group will play an immeasurable role in the development of the group, and it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for other e-commerce sites!!
On the same day, the stock prices of Nicholas International E-commerce and Nicholas IMDB both began to rise wildly. Among them, the market value of Nicholas International E-commerce has risen to $120 billion, and the market value of Nicholas IMDB has risen to $60 billion!
Soon after, eBay, Amazon, Alibaba. The four major IMDB websites have been partially revamped to include ICQ. Plus, the wishlist is also officially available!
"If there's anything you want to buy on your wishlist, ask him to pay for it!!"
For a while, this slogan spread on the four major websites of the Nicholas Group and ICQ, and it soon became popular all over the Internet!
If a wishlist is opened, there will be a wishlist symbol next to the ICQ avatar, gray indicates that the wishlist has not been fulfilled, white indicates that the wishlist has been fulfilled, and half-gray and half-white indicates that the wishlist has only partially been fulfilled......
"Honey, can you grant my wish?"
"What do you want?"
"It's in the wishlist, you can go in and light them all up......"
Ten seconds later, a man suddenly "poofed" and almost wanted to vomit blood.
"You placed so many orders, how can I afford it?!"
"Okay, if you don't buy it, forget it, I'll see if anyone else will help me make my wish come true!!"
“……”
Three days later, Geely Hurt approached Henry with excitement on his face and said, "Chairman, guess how much we have been selling in the past few days?"
"$100 million?"
"How can it be 100 million!! "Geely Hurt said excitedly, "In just three days, our sales have exceeded 500 million US dollars! In three days, more than 3 million people have used the wishlist, of which more than 800,000 have been fully realized, and more than 1.6 million have been partially realized, and more than 2 million new online shopping users have been added through the wishlist activity!"
After hearing this, Henry was surprised: "There are so many ?!!"
After a while, Henry came back to his senses, then muttered for a while, and said: "Maybe now because the wishlist is full of freshness, I think after a while, the sales will not be so exaggerated! However, there are more than 2 million new online shopping users, which is really beyond my expectations!"
"In addition, virtual items should also be developed quickly, this thing is quite profitable!"
"Hmm!"
"Oh, by the way, remember to let ICQ create a virtual community where these virtual items can be used! Here, it is important to create a virtual community close to the real one, food, clothing, housing and transportation need money, and you can get a salary through work, but if you want to live the life of a rich man, buy a villa and a luxury car, buy branded clothes, then recharge, exchange virtual currency!! I think, such a virtual community will be full of attraction to users!!"
"Virtual Community !!"
After listening to this, Geely Hurt not only secretly smacked his tongue. Henry opened his mouth and spat out an idea that shocked him, judging by his experience, this virtual community must be a lucrative game !! (PS: The Genuine Alliance has launched a call to you!Let\'s-go)
