America's Road to Fame

Chapter 197 Huaguo Company
Originally, Ivanta wanted to talk to Chen William about the Trump-Chen business management company during this period, but after returning to Yan's garden, Chen William was still under the new marriage, so he directly talked to her Practiced various fighting knowledge for two hours.

By the time the practice was over, Ivanta was already dripping with sweat and almost collapsed.She said coquettishly:
"It's all your fault, how can I go to work again like this."

But despite saying so, Ivanta is still very satisfied with William Chen's performance, and there are sweet smiles all over his face.

In William Chen's arms, Ivanta told him about the progress of the company over the past month.

The negotiation of Hemori Building Co., Ltd. has basically reached an agreement. Depending on the deterioration of the economic situation in Japan, the other party finally made concessions on the transaction price. The final purchase price of Modu Global Financial Center is set at 15 billion US dollars. Two banks, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, will provide $10 billion in financing for the acquisition.

In this way, after signing the contract and completing the acquisition, Troupe-Chen Business Management Company will move its headquarters to this skyscraper renamed Troupe-Chen Oriental Building.

And they will renovate part of the floors of the building. The floors near the ground will be converted into commercial areas, and some big brand stores will be settled in. Most of the floors will still be used as office buildings, and the top ten floors of the building will also be renovated. After a certain transformation, Troup Hotel, a high-end hotel brand authorized by their company, will be settled in it.

When they were in Trump Group, the Ivanta brothers and sisters were mainly in charge of the hotel brand of the Trump Group, so Ivanta is very familiar with the operation of the hotel, and she also brought her dedicated team to Trump- Chen Commercial Management Company, so there is no pressure on the operation of this hotel.

According to the forecast of the local cooperative construction party in Shanghai, all the renovations will be completed within three months, which means that before June, these settled commercial projects will be able to open.

After Ivanta's company completed this amazing acquisition, it also showed the strength of their Trump-Chen business management company to Shanghai. In addition, recently, William Chen made many large-scale acquisitions, not only The Hermès Group was acquired, and MGM was also included in the bag, so the other party was also very enthusiastic about their investment, and specially selected a plot of land with an excellent location in Pudong for them to choose to develop.

In the end, after the team's investigation, Ivanta chose a location in an emerging commercial center and planned to build the second Trump-Chen Building in Shanghai. According to the previous policy, they almost There is no need to pay funds, and the local Modu Bank will provide all loans.

Now not only in Shanghai, Ivanta's team is also discussing related projects with other cities, including Hangzhou, Jinling, and Suzhou.

At present, the construction of two buildings has been negotiated with Hangzhou, which are located in the urban area and the high-tech park respectively; the projects in Jinling and Gusu have also made progress, and the policies are roughly the same, and they will soon enter the site selection of the buildings. Build a Troupe-Chan building in each of the two cities.

These are progressing so smoothly, as I said before, on the one hand, because the Trump Group has a great reputation in the United States, especially in their headquarters in New York, there are so many Trump buildings, giving people a sense of Very impressed.

In addition, thanks to Chen William's popularity, after these several huge acquisitions, he has become the most well-known rich man in the world since the subprime mortgage crisis.

As the controlling shareholder of this joint venture company, the governments of various parts of Huaguo also hope to introduce his strong capital to the local area to stimulate local economic construction.

……

"Old Ma, yes, you really hired someone here."

Before William Chen had time to leave for Hangzhou, Boss Ma from Ali Company had already come to Shanghai to meet him.

Seeing William Chen's surprised expression, Boss Ma said rather proudly:

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a caring person. You don't know that it is really not easy to invite this person. I went to Shenzhen City three or four times by myself, and I had a long talk with him every time before I finally said moved him."

It seems that Boss Ma's deception skills are indeed very profound, William Chen did not miscalculate.

"By the way, I also found William for you now. What you said last time is that we will cooperate to promote HOLA. When will it start?"

Boss Ma said urgently:
"Let me tell you, because of Zhang Xiaolong's matter, Penguin's Xiaoma almost got anxious with me. I guess they may have plans to develop a mobile chat app by now."

William Chen also knew that this matter could not be dragged on any longer. Penguin is still very powerful in the social field, so even if he cooperates with Alibaba, he still needs a first-mover advantage to seize users.

So he said to Boss Ma:

"We will start this matter right away. Let Mr. Zhang Xiaolong go to Silicon Valley to communicate with the HOLA headquarters first. By the way, we will form a team to start the localization of the HOLA APP. As soon as these are completed, we will immediately launch it to the market."

"What about the cooperation method?" Boss Ma asked eagerly.

"According to the model between me and Japan's Softbank, Ali Company and HOLA Technology Company formed a joint venture HOLA Huaguo Company, Ali accounted for 51% of the shares, HOLA Technology accounted for 49%, and Ali invested at least 5000 million US dollars as the HOLA Huaguo version. development and promotion."

Hearing William Chen mention the same cooperation model as Softbank, Boss Ma nodded in agreement.

Before that, HOLA Technology had formally established HOLA Japan Company with Softbank Group. Boss Ma had already inquired clearly from Sun Zhengyi about the details of the cooperation between the two parties. Therefore, he also planned to use this model to cooperate with HOLA Technology.

"Then they will determine the quota now, and I will immediately appoint Zhang Xiaolong as the CEO of HOLA Huaguo Company, and form a team to go to Silicon Valley to exchange ideas for a while, and hurry up to develop the HOLA Huaguo version."

It seems that Boss Ma is really anxious, but this is also in line with William Chen's idea. He also hopes to officially withdraw from the HOLA APP in Huaguo as soon as possible to seize the social track of mobile users.

"I think Huaguo Company can proceed in two steps. Originally, the HOLA software had a Chinese version. After we formed the company, we could launch this Chinese version as soon as possible as the initial version to seize the market; and then local companies The team seized the time to use the HOLA kernel to develop the Huaguo version of the HOLA APP, and after the next version upgrade, it will be replaced with the developed Huaguo version of HOLA.”

William Chen expressed his thoughts, Boss Ma's eyes lit up when he heard it, he patted the table and said:
"Yes, let's do it like this! This way we can occupy the market as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams. If there is some secret weapon launched by Penguin Company, then we will be passive."

Seeing that Boss Wang wanted to sign the contract now and launch HOLA for promotion to seize the market, William Chen said to him with a smile on his face:

"Actually, the promotion of HOLA has a very important effect on Ali, that is, we can integrate Alipay into this APP in the later stage. Not only can this social APP be used to transfer money between friends, but also through Mobile payment is made by scanning the QR code with the mobile phone. In this way, the HOLA APP is equipped with Alipay’s core, which can further expand Alipay’s market share.”

Boss Ma was so enthusiastic about this HOLA APP before, mainly because he wanted to promote this app to attack Penguin, and he could use HOLA to promote his own Taobao Mall as its traffic entrance.

But now hearing Chen William's words, his mind was immediately opened. Social + payment is really an imaginative combination, which can be combined with e-commerce + payment and offline physical payment, making Alipay a payment platform. Overlord of the field.

In this way, his Ali company will not only be able to parry against Penguin, but will not be able to counterattack the other party's core business.

As for this matter, it is also very helpful for William Chen to increase his influence in China.Although in HOLA Huaguo Company, he gave up 51% of the controlling stake to Ali Company, because he also knows that in some sensitive Internet fields, it is easier for the regulators to rest assured that the local company holds the shareholding.

Moreover, he himself holds 40% of the shares of Ali Company, so in fact nearly 70% of the shares of HOLA Huaguo Company are directly or indirectly controlled by himself, and he still has a great say in this company.
