After the speech, Henry was ready to set off for Hangzhou! Before leaving Tsinghua University, Henry donated 1 billion RMB to Tsinghua University for the construction of the Tsinghua University Research and Academic Building.

There is no doubt that this building will be called "Williams Building" in the future.

Later, he also donated money for a building to Peking University. As for the name of this building, do you still need to say?

In this speech, although Henry did not clearly point out the concept of "crowdfunding", many people keenly discovered the business model and value behind it. However, Henry is not afraid of others knowing, he has been imitated and never surpassed, and he has become accustomed to it. In addition, crowdfunding will be bigger and stronger. Without strong strength, it will not work!

Throughout the world, no company can compare with Henry's strength, and Henry has already written a business plan during the Olympic Games and sent an email to Jack Ma. At this time, Jack Ma’s team is already developing "Earth Partners" and is actively contacting investors to enter the "Earth Partners". As long as there are a large number of investors, they can naturally attract startup companies.

In addition to developing "Earth Partners", Jack Ma's team is also actively preparing to build a Kickstarter platform.

Henry was too lazy to think of a name, and got used to the name Kickstarter. Anyway, the other party’s company was created in April next year, maybe because of the butterfly effect, this company doesn’t even exist anymore.

If it is called Taobao crowdfunding, it gives the impression that it is a crowdfunding platform for selling things. In fact, Kickstarter is all-inclusive, including movies, music, art, photography, drama, web design, interior design, food, etc. So, instead of taking a serious name, it's better to take a name that people don't understand.

Kickstarter is translated into Chinese as "anti-conflict jump starter", which has a relationship with crowdfunding network, but when Kickstarter became famous, people can immediately think of crowdfunding when they talk about Kickstarter. Just like Google, in the beginning, the ghost knew what Google meant! But now they have become synonymous with search engines!

In fact, the name is very particular.

Taking a messy name, on the other hand, has great benefits!

If "Taobao Crowdfunding" is used, because there is the word "crowdfunding" in the name, users searching online will not only search for "Taobao Crowdfunding", but also "Jingdong Crowdfunding", "Baidu Crowdfunding", etc. Wait, users may enter other crowdfunding platforms to take a look, this is undoubtedly sending traffic to the other party! Especially if a local tyrant company buys keywords, then, no matter what the user searches, as long as there are keywords it purchased, the company will always be ranked in the first line of the search results page (SERP). The weaker company is helpless.

...

After lunch, Henry originally planned to leave for Hangzhou immediately. However, there was a temporary change. Niu Hongfei, the president of IMDB Group China, came to visit Henry and asked him for instructions to annex Wanda Group.

"Your Majesty, the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis has swept the world, and China's various economic indicators have declined, and real estate has been greatly affected."

A middle-aged man with gold-framed glasses and a height of about 175cm sat in front of Henry and said: "The Chinese property market in 2008 was a turbulent world! Developers, large and small, are still immersed in 2007. When I was unable to extricate myself from the brilliance of the year, everything changed! Under the influence of the financial crisis, the Chinese stock market plummeted, and a lot of funds were trapped in the stock market. The number of people increases, and everyone’s expectations for future income decline, and they are even more afraid to buy a house for fear of heavy debts, which leads to a deep downturn in property sales.

The most popular vocabulary in the property market in 2008 must have been "price reduction". At the beginning of the year, the real estate leader Vanke, guided by its spiritual leader Wang Shi's "turning point theory", swept the price reduction whirlwind from the south to the north, and the word price reduction has been firmly throughout 2008. The property market is always! As house prices plunged, the check-out storm also followed. In addition, compared with the fact that developers took land at sky-high prices last year, this year's land market has also turned around 180 degrees, and the two most frequently appearing words are-unsold.

At present, under the situation of slowing down of real estate sales, tightening of bank loans, and increasing resistance to listing, many developers have adopted some relatively conservative strategies in order to ensure that the capital chain is normal. However, in the cold winter of real estate, Wanda Group went against the trend and launched a crazy "offensive". In just one month, it spent 5 billion yuan to collect 5 plots of land in one fell swoop, and will purchase it next year. More land! "

Niu Hongfei paused and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Wanda Group is expanding against the market. It wants to acquire land at low cost in the lowest ebb of the Chinese real estate market from 2008 to 2009, in order to achieve leapfrog development. Wanda Group prepares for a sprint to go public in 2010 to increase its share price. Once Wanda Group succeeds in listing and its funding shortcomings are resolved, it will eventually become IMDB Group’s rival! So ~lightnovelpub.net~ I suggest that at this time, we must Acquisition of Wanda Group!!!"

Henry nodded clearly.

The Wanda Group in the previous life indeed developed rapidly during this financial crisis and achieved its third leapfrog development. Because it is advancing against the trend, the location is very good, but the price is not expensive. The average floor price is half lower than normal, laying the foundation for Wanda Group to obtain high profits in the future.

Henry frowned slightly, lost in thought.

After a while, Henry said, "Niu Hongfei, you should immediately contact Wanda Group to initiate an acquisition. At the same time, send someone to keep an eye on their company and grab land with them. Hum, the company that is expanding against the market is not a Wanda Group. , And our IMDB Group!!!” Henry paused and said lightly, “Intimidation and temptation to win Wanda as much as possible! If the acquisition still fails, it does not matter. I believe that under the suppression of IMDB Group, Wanda No matter how faltering the group is, it can only become the second child of ten thousand years."

In this life, IMDB Group entered China and robbed a lot of high-quality land, causing Wanda Group to develop far less smoothly than in the previous life. The current total assets are less than RMB 50 billion.

"Understand!" Niu Hongfei nodded.

Henry looked at the back of Niu Hongfei's departure and murmured: "Wang Jianlin has finally turned Wanda Group from a state-owned enterprise into his own private company. He will never let go easily. Niu Hongfei will go here, I am afraid there will be nothing good. As a result..." As he said, he stood up and ordered to the left and right, "Now arrange for the car to go to the airport, let's go to Hangzhou!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The acquisition of Wanda Group, a large company with four main businesses, including commercial real estate, cultural industry, high-end hotels, and chain department stores, must be protracted and Henry has no time to wait.
