Suddenly, a bronze door opened slowly, and the reporters who were guarding the door were shocked.
"It's Chronos Li, he's out!" someone shouted.
At the time, everyone looked this way.
After a while, the door was crowded.
Seeing such a large group of people, Li Zetian smiled bitterly in his heart.
But when he thought of what he was doing here, Li Zetian immediately froze, and said solemnly: "Members of the media, how are you!"
"Hello, Chronos·Li, is the global international hotel investment management company related to you? Are you the big boss behind the scenes?"
"Recently, there have been frequent news of hotel acquisitions. May I ask Chronos Li, how many hotels have the global international hotel investment management company acquired so far? When will it stop?"
"As far as we know, the global international hotel investment management company has acquired many powerful hotel groups, including InterContinental Hotels, Hilton Hotels, Four Seasons Hotels, Peninsula Hotels, Super Eight Hotels, etc., with tens of billions of dollars in capital! In addition, many small and medium-sized hotels have also been acquired…”
Li Zetian pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The reporters immediately closed their mouths and watched Li Zetian quietly.
Li Zetian glanced around at everyone, and said indifferently, "Yes, the boss behind the global international hotel investment management company is indeed me!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar at the scene!
Guessing is guesswork after all. When Li Zetian confessed, everyone couldn't help feeling excited and shocked!
The reporters asked questions one after another, wanting to ask more about the situation.
Li Zetian shook his head and said, "It's time for you to know, I have already told you, as for the other things... they are business secrets!"
After speaking, Li Zetian walked into the door.
Finally, a black-clothed bodyguard was left behind and said coldly to everyone, "Everyone, please come back. If you block the door like this, we will call the police!!!"
Hearing that the other party wanted to call the police, the reporters shook their heads, regretting that they could not get more news, and left one after another.
However, Li Zetian was able to admit his identity, but it was shocking enough!
The reporters hurried back to write the press release immediately.
That night, when the news came out, it shook the world!
U.S.
"My God, the boss of the global international hotel investment management company is really Chronos Li, awesome!!"
"Tsk tsk, doesn't the Hilton Hotel belong to Chronos Li now? Damn it, it's amazing, it has become a hotel giant in a blink of an eye!"
"rich!"
…
U.K.
"Uh... InterContinental Hotel was also acquired by Chronos Li?! Damn, Chronos Li is domineering! InterContinental Hotels Group is our old British hotel, founded in 1777, it owns InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn and Holiday Resorts. Hotels, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo and other big brands operate two or three thousand hotels worldwide!”
"The number one tycoon in the hotel industry must belong to Chronos Li!"
"… "
In Hong Kong, The Peninsula Hotel was acquired, causing heated discussions.
"The Peninsula Hotel is the oldest existing hotel in Hong Kong, and one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and even in the world! I never thought it was acquired, and it was bought by Chronos Li! Originally Chronos Li was in Hong Kong is already very influential, and now it has acquired the Peninsula Hotel, which is fucking awesome!"
"The Peninsula Hotel was originally owned and operated by the British-Jewish Kadoorie family. The business was booming, and new Peninsula hotels were also built around the world. Obviously, the Peninsula Hotel was the main business of the Kadoorie family, but it was handed over! "
"Maybe Chronos Li gave the Kadoorie family a lot of money..."
Saigon, the largest and most luxurious villa in Hong Kong.
Xiao Zhixuan watched the news on TV, and suddenly said in surprise: "Look, the news says that our son has bought the Peninsula Hotel! I heard that the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong is the Peninsula Hotel, let's take a time to see it someday. ."
"Uh, fine."
…
Beverly Hills, USA.
Li Zetian was thinking about it. He bought so many hotels, but it wasn't too many. The world is so big, and there are still many places that need hotels.
Now is 1993, the scale of Hilton Hotel, InterContinental Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel, and Peninsula Hotel is far less than when Li Zetian passed through. Even in 2016, these hotels have not stopped, but they are still expanding rapidly! !
Obviously, tourism has been booming.
"At this moment, the tourism industry in many countries has not developed, and countless scenic spots have not yet been developed. Naturally, there are no hotels that can be directly purchased, so you need to build hotels yourself! As a service industry, thoughtful service is the first priority. One, this requires a large number of service-related talents, such as waiters, cooks, housekeepers, maids, etc..." Li Zetian muttered.
At this time, Li Zetian's brain flashed. Japan's service industry can be described as world-class. For example, Japanese women are gentle and docile, which is especially suitable for working in the service industry.
And hotel waiters, maids, etc. are generally women. If a training institution for hotel practitioners is established in Japan, and then Japanese women are sent to all parts of the world, it can increase the hotel staff and improve the service quality. Second, Japanese women work abroad. Living, marrying and having children with locals is equivalent to reducing the Japanese population.
Li Zetian is full of malice towards Japan.
In business, Japanese companies are his competitors.
Emotionally, Li Zetian held a grudge against Japan's invasion of China.
Therefore, it is not surprising why Li Zetian often suppresses Japanese companies.
Turning on the phone, he typed "papapa" quickly. After a while, Li Zetian wrote a plan and then printed it out.
At this time, Dongfang Yuqin came in from outside, and Li Zetian shouted: "Yuqin, come here, I have a plan here, you will explain it later!"
Dongfang Yuqin took a look at the plan and couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Li, you are going to take away a large number of Japanese women!"
"Yeah." Li Zetian nodded, "Japan's population is so large, and we don't care about it! What's more, we established service industry training institutions in Japan to help Japanese women find employment. Since the outbreak of the stock market crash in 1990, Japan's economy has not been as good as before. Yes, they are under a lot of pressure for employment there!"
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said, "It makes sense, but what does the brainwashing mentioned in the plan mean?"
Li Zetian smiled and said: "Isn't this to prevent Japanese female spies? For example, when some well-identified guests come to the hotel, the waitress or maid who have the most contact with them is naturally the waitress or maid. If they deliberately approach the guests and inquire about the news, you can not easy?"
"Cough cough!!"
After a pause, Li Zetian laughed dryly and coughed twice, and said, "If they can be used by me, they will become my eyeliner and collect information for me!"
"That's true." Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said, "However, the age of enrollment should not be too high, otherwise the success rate of brainwashing will be very low."
"It's natural."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now. By the way, what's the name of the training institution?"
"Uh, whatever, just think about it." Li Zetian said.
"OK, all right."
Watching Dongfang Yuqin leave, the matter is settled. Of course, in addition to recruiting Japanese women in the service industry, Li Zetian will also provide some positions for orphans taken in by the LY orphanage, and then recruit some local employees locally.
…
After April, the global international hotel investment management company converged and did not continue to acquire other hotels.
Li Zetian ordered all his hotels to cooperate with TripAdvisor, upload information and sign a cooperation agreement.
Thus, TripAdvisor travel sites only need to conquer other hotels, reducing a lot of tasks.
If the website is online now, it is also possible.
However, Li Zetian still thinks that things should be done to perfection. Once TripAdvisor is released, it must be a sensation all over the world!
Now that the hotel has been basically settled, Li Zetian began to plan the acquisition of the airline.
Oriental Yuqin has registered an offshore company in the Cayman Islands for Li Zetian, the company is called Colonos Air.
No matter how low-key it is, others can guess it. As the old saying goes, just do it directly! ! !
So, on May 5th, with clear skies, Li Zetian asked people to formally initiate the acquisition of United and Continental Airlines!
As soon as the news came out, it shocked the United States again.
"I can't believe this Nima. The front foot has acquired so many powerful hotels, and the back foot has to acquire such an airline that ranks third and fourth in the United States!"
"Damn, how rich is Chronos Li? He donated $10 billion some time ago!"
"I got it, I fucked it up completely, and I kneeled to the rich!"
"Chronos Li is really not ordinary rich, he is super super super rich!"
"… "
People were talking.
The media scrambled to report.
"Chronos · Li's involvement in the hotel industry, but also in the aviation industry, what do you want? 》
"According to expert analysis, the purpose of Chronos Li's acquisition of airlines is related to space exploration companies! 》
"America's major airlines will face the toughest competition in history! 》
"United Airlines and Continental Airlines, once combined, will surpass American Airlines to become the largest airline in the United States! 》
At this point, Bill Gates and Buffett are so happy.
"Hahaha, Chronos is going to acquire an airline again. TripAdvisor will make it easier to book air tickets directly from the Internet."
In the Starbucks coffee shop, Bill Gates and Buffett chat and laugh while drinking coffee.
Buffett took a deep breath and said with emotion: "I didn't have confidence in TripAdvisor at first, after all, I'm not very optimistic about Internet technology companies, but now that Chronos Li is buying hotels and airlines, I immediately feel confident. Full!"
Bill Gates said with a smile: "He and I are college classmates, and I know a little more about him than you. Chronos is a genius beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even in Harvard University, where there are many talents, no one can match him. Than! Over the years, I have given him a careful analysis, as long as it is what he wants to do, it will be successful!"
After speaking, Bill Gates sighed slightly: "Born in the same era as him, it is destined to be bleak!"
Buffett drank a cup of strong coffee with a hint of bitterness. He felt the same way about Bill Gates' thoughts. How awesome is Berkshire Hathaway, from a small company with hundreds of thousands of dollars. , a company that has grown to tens of billions of dollars has undoubtedly created a legend, but in front of Li Zetian's achievements, it is hardly worth mentioning. Moreover, even one of Berkshire Hathaway's major shareholders is Li Zetian.
…
Time passed by, and every day news was reporting Li Zetian's shocking move.
A month later, both United Airlines and Continental Airlines were wholly acquired by Colonos Airlines for a total purchase price of only $8.5 billion. The main reason for the low acquisition price is that in the 1990s, the American aviation market was sluggish and competition was very high.
At this moment, Li Zetian came to the headquarters of the former United Airlines.
meeting room.
Li Zetian sat in the first place and looked around at everyone. In addition to the main management of United Airlines, the management of Continental Airlines also came.
After a while, Li Zetian said: "In the future, United Airlines and Continental Airlines will be together, integrating resources and working together to build the world's top airline. The name of the new company will be called Colonos Air!"
clap clap clap! ! !
After Li Zetian, the big boss, finished speaking, everyone immediately applauded wildly.
Well said by the boss!
Awesome boss!
Li Zetian took a sip of water, put down his cup, and said, "The aviation market is currently in a downturn. I think the main reason is that the fares are too high. Therefore, the fares of Colonos Air will be reduced in the future!"
"Mr. Li!" At this time, a middle-aged man sitting on Li Zetian's right said, "The airfare is already very low. If it drops further, the company will not be able to make any money!"
Others also joined in.
"Yeah, Mr. Li, if the price is lowered, there is no way to make a profit!"
"We should think of other ways..."
Li Zetian heard the words and thought about it, these people are professionals after all, and they know better than him. In his memory, he felt that American Airlines was taking a low-price strategy.
Long distances are expensive.
Short trips, cheap airfare.
Low price not only refers to air tickets, it should also be related to the road.
In an instant, Li Zetian's brain flashed.
"Everyone, please listen to me!!" Li Zetian said loudly, "What you said is very reasonable. If the price of long-distance or international flights is reduced, it will not make any money. Then, we will go to capture the low-cost market! "
"Low-priced market?" When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but look puzzled.
Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Hehe, instead of going head-to-head with major U.S. airlines, it's better to directly occupy the low-cost market with huge potential! We only open short and medium-haul point-to-point routes, no long-haul flights, and no international flights. The time is short and the shifts are intensive.”
"Usually, if a passenger misses an airline's flight, he can take the company's next flight an hour later. The high frequency of flights is not only convenient for those who travel through major cities in the United States every day. Passengers, and more importantly, the reduction of unit cost on this basis is the market positioning that our airline is pursuing. Through information sharing with airlines, we can provide better connecting services!!”
When everyone heard it, their eyes lit up, and their performance was very shocking. Looking back, I went, are you an aviation professional or are we aviation professionals? Why didn't we think of such a good idea
