Giant of the times

Suddenly, a bronze door slowly opened, and the reporters guarding the door were startled.

"It's Chronos Li, he's out!" someone shouted.

Immediately, everyone looked over here.

After a while, the gate was packed with people.

Looking at such a large group of people, Li Zetian smiled bitterly in his heart.

But when he thought about what he was going to do here, Li Zetian immediately froze, and said in a deep voice: "Hello, fellow media reporters!"

"Hello Chronos Li, is Global International Hotel Investment Management Company related to you? Are you the big boss behind the scenes?"

"Recently, there have been frequent news of hotels being acquired. How many hotels has Chronos·Li, a 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 such as InterContinental Hotel, Hilton Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel, Peninsula Hotel, Super 8 Hotel, etc., with tens of billions of dollars in funds! In addition to In addition, many small and medium-sized hotels have also been acquired..."

Li Zetian pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

The reporters immediately shut up and stared at Li Zetian quietly.

Li Zetian looked around at everyone and said in a calm tone: "Yes, I am indeed the boss behind the Global International Hotel Investment Management Company!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar on the scene!

Guesses are just guesses after all. Everyone couldn't help but feel excited and shocked when they heard Li Zetian admit it personally!

The reporters asked questions one after another, wanting to know more about the situation.

Li Zetian shook his head and said, "It's time for you to know. I've already told you. As for other things... they are business secrets!"

After saying that, Li Zetian walked into the door.

Finally, a bodyguard in black was left behind and said coldly to everyone: "Everyone, please go back. If you continue to block the door like this, we will call the police!!!"

When they heard that the other party wanted to call the police, the reporters shook their heads and regretted that they could not get more news, and left one after another.

However, it was shocking enough for Li Zetian to admit his identity!

The reporters immediately rushed back to write a press release.

That night, when the news came out, it shocked the world!

USA.

“Oh my god, the boss of Global International Hotel Investment Management Company is indeed Chronos Li, awesome!!”

"Tsk tsk, doesn't the Hilton Hotel belong to Chronos Li now? Damn, that's amazing. He became a hotel giant in the blink of an eye!"

"rich!"

…

U.K.

"Uh... InterContinental Hotels has also been acquired by Chronos·Li?! Holy shit, Chronos·Li is so domineering! InterContinental Hotels Group is our old hotel in the UK. It was founded in 1777 and owns InterContinental Hotels and Resorts, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn. Resort Hotels, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo and other big brands operate two to three thousand hotels around the world!”

"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 the world! I never thought it would be acquired, and it was bought by Chronos·Li! Originally, Chronos·Li was 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 Kadoorie family, a British-Jewish family. The business was booming and new Peninsula hotels were built around the world. Obviously, the Peninsula Hotel was the main business of the Kadoorie family, and it was handed over to them! "

"Perhaps the amount of money Chronos Li gave made the Kadoorie family attracted..."

Sai Kung, the largest and most luxurious villa in Hong Kong.

Xiao Zhixuan watched the TV news and suddenly said in surprise: "Look, the news said 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 time to check it out someday. .”

"Uh, okay, okay."

…

Beverly Hills, USA.

Li Zetian was meditating. He had bought so many hotels, but they weren't actually too many. The world is so big and there are still many places that need hotels.

It is now 1993, and the scale of Hilton Hotel, InterContinental Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel, and Peninsula Hotel is far smaller than when Li Zetian traveled through time. Even in 2016, these hotels have not stopped, but are still expanding rapidly one by one. ! !

Clearly, 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 there that can be purchased directly, so you need to build hotels yourself! As a service industry, hotels are the first priority. One person, which requires a large number of service industry-related talents, such as waiters, chefs, housekeepers, maids, etc..." Li Zetian murmured.

At this time, Li Zetian had an idea. RB's service industry is world-class. For example, RB's women are gentle and gentle, which is particularly suitable for working in the service industry.

The waiters and maids in hotels are generally women. If a training institution for hotel employees is established in RB and then the RB women are transported to all over the world, firstly, the hotel manpower can be increased and the service quality can be improved; secondly, the RB women can work abroad. Living, marrying and having children with local people is equivalent to reducing the RB population.

Li Zetian is full of malice towards RB.

In business, RB Enterprises is his competitor.

Emotionally, Li Zetian was deeply resentful of RB's invasion of China.

Therefore, it is not surprising why Li Zetian often suppresses RB companies.

Turning on the computer, he typed quickly. After a while, Li Zetian wrote a plan and then printed it out.

At this time, Dongfang Yuqin walked in from outside, and Li Zetian shouted: "Yuqin, come here, I have a plan here, you can 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 RB women!"

"Yeah." Li Zetian nodded, "RB has such a large population, but we don't care about this! What's more, we established a service industry training institution in RB to help RB women find jobs. Since the stock market crash in 1990, RB's economy has not been as good as before. Yes, the employment pressure there is high!"

Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said: "That makes sense, but what does the brainwashing mentioned in the plan mean?"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Aren't we trying to prevent RB female spies? For example, when some guests with status come to the hotel, the person who has the most contact with them is naturally the waitress or maid. If they deliberately approach the guests and inquire about information, what do you think? not easy?"

"Ahem!!"

After a pause, Li Zetian smiled dryly, coughed twice, and said, "If they can be used by me, they can become my spies and collect intelligence for me!"

"That's true." Dongfang Yuqin nodded, "However, the age of admissions cannot be too old, otherwise the success rate of brainwashing will be very low."

"It's natural."

"Okay, I'll go make arrangements now. By the way, what's the name of the training institution?"

"Uh, whatever, think about it." Li Zetian said.

"OK, all right."

Seeing Dongfang Yuqin leave, the matter was settled. Of course, in addition to recruiting RB women in the service industry, Li Zetian will also provide some positions to orphans taken in by L.Y Orphanage, and then recruit some local employees locally.

…

After April, Global International Hotel Investment Management Company restrained itself and stopped acquiring other hotels.

Li Zetian ordered all his hotels to cooperate with TripAdvisor, upload information, such as hotel photos, prices, location, surrounding attractions, etc., and sign a cooperation agreement.

Therefore, TripAdvisor travel website only needs to conquer other hotels, reducing a lot of tasks.

If the website is online now, it is also possible.

However, Li Zetian still feels that things should be done perfectly. Once TripAdvisor is released, it must cause a sensation all over the world!

Now that the hotel has been basically settled, Li Zetian begins to plan the acquisition of the airline.

Dongfang Yuqin has registered an offshore company in the Cayman Islands for Li Zetian, called Kronos Airlines.

No matter how low-key you are, others can guess it. As the old saying goes, just do it! ! !

So, on May 5th, under clear skies, Li Zetian asked people to formally launch an acquisition of United Airlines and Continental Airlines!

As soon as the news came out, it once again caused a sensation in the United States.

"I can't believe it. They have acquired so many powerful hotels, and then they want to acquire the third and fourth airline companies in the United States!"

"Damn, how rich is Chronos Li? He even donated 10 billion US dollars some time ago!"

"I'm convinced. I'm fucking convinced. I'm going to kneel down for the rich!"

"Chronos Li is really not just ordinary rich, he is super, super, super rich!"

"..."

People were talking a lot.

The media rushed to report it.

"After Chronos·Li got involved in the hotel industry, he also wants to get involved in aviation. What does he want to do?" 》

"According to expert analysis, the purpose of Chronos Li's acquisition of the airline is related to Space Exploration Company, because Space Exploration Company is developing civilian passenger aircraft! 》

"Major U.S. airlines will face the toughest competition in history!" 》

"Once United Airlines and Continental Airlines merge into one, they will surpass American Airlines and become the largest airline in the United States! 》

At this time, Bill Gates and Buffett were so happy.

"Hahaha, Chronos is going to acquire another airline. TripAdvisor will make it easier to book air tickets directly online."

In the Starbucks coffee shop, Bill Gates and Buffett drank coffee and talked and laughed.

Buffett took a deep breath and said with emotion: "I didn't have confidence in TripAdvisor at first. After all, I am not very optimistic about Internet technology companies. But now that I see Chronos Li acquiring hotels and airlines, I immediately feel confident. Perfect!"

Bill Gates smiled and said: "He and I were college classmates, and I know him a little better than you do. Chronos is a genius that ordinary people can't even imagine. Even at Harvard University, where there are so many talents, no one can compare with him." Than! Over the years, I have conducted careful analysis for him. As long as it is something he wants to do, he will definitely succeed!"

After saying that, Bill Gates sighed slightly: "Being born in the same era as him is destined to be dim!"

Buffett drank a cup of strong coffee with a hint of bitterness. He also felt the same way as Bill Gates. Berkshire Hathaway is so awesome. It started from a small company worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. , has grown into a company with tens of billions of dollars, and has undoubtedly created a legend, but it is almost not worth mentioning in front of Li Zetian's achievements. Moreover, even one of the major shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway is Li Zetian.

…

Time passed day by day, and the news every day was reporting Li Zetian's shocking behavior.

A month later, both United Airlines and Continental Airlines were fully acquired by Chronos Airlines, with a total purchase price of only US$8.5 billion. The main reason why the acquisition price is not high is that in the 1990s, the U.S. aviation market was in a downturn and competition was fierce.

At this moment, Li Zetian came to the headquarters of the former United Airlines.

meeting room.

Li Zetian sat at the front seat and looked around at everyone. In addition to the main management of United Airlines, the management of Continental Airlines were also here.

After a moment, Li Zetian said: "From now on, United Airlines and Continental Airlines will become one company, integrate resources, and work together to build the world's top airline. The name of the new company will be called Chronos Airlines from now on!"

Bang bang bang! ! !

After Li Zetian, the big boss, finished speaking, everyone immediately applauded wildly.

The boss said it well!

The boss is awesome!

Li Zetian took a sip of water, put down the cup, and continued: "The aviation market is sluggish now. I think the main reason is that the fares are too high. Therefore, the fares of Kronos Airlines will be lowered in the future!"

"Mr. Li!" At this time, a middle-aged man sitting on Li Zetian's right said, "The air tickets are already very low. If they drop further, the company may not make any money!"

Others echoed.

"Yes, Mr. Li, if you lower the price, you won't be able to make a profit!"

"We should think of other ways..."

"..."

Li Zetian was thoughtful when he heard this. After all, these people were professionals and knew better than him. But in his memory, he felt that American Airlines followed a low-price strategy.

Long distance, air tickets are expensive.

Short distances, air tickets are cheap.

The low price obviously has something to do with the voyage.

In an instant, Li Zetian's brain suddenly flashed with inspiration.

"Everyone, please listen to me!!" Li Zetian said loudly, "What you said makes sense. If the air ticket price of long-distance or international flights is reduced, we will really not make much money. Then, we will capture the low-price market!"

"Low-price market?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look puzzled. Why did they say it again?

Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Haha, instead of competing head-on with major American airlines, it is better to directly occupy the low-price market with huge potential! We only open short and medium-distance point-to-point routes, no long-distance flights, and no international flights. The time is short and the shifts are intensive.”

"Generally, if a passenger misses an airline flight, he can take the company's next flight an hour later. High-frequency flights are not only convenient for those who travel through major cities in the United States every day Passengers, and more importantly, the reduction of unit costs on this basis is the market positioning that our airline should pursue. Through information sharing with airlines, we can provide better connecting services!!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they were very shocked. Looking back, I asked, are you an aviation professional, or are we aviation professionals? Why didn't we think of such a good idea?
