Chapter 1685 Matchmaking

When Schwarzenegger shared his inspirational story on the podium, Li Mu was studying how to maximize the usefulness of Schwarzenegger.

He has many things that he wants to pull Schwarzenegger together, and borrowing his name and resources as the governor of California will be of great help to himself.

However, he did not completely take advantage of Schwarzenegger. On the contrary, he also thought of many ideas that could help Schwarzenegger improve his performance, so that he could support Schwarzenegger's approval rate in California. , while looking for more benefits from Schwarzenegger.

After the inauguration, many media reporters flocked to Li Mu and asked him what he thought of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California.

Facing the cameras of many media, Li Mu smiled indifferently: "I am very happy to see Arnold being elected as the governor of California. In my eyes, Arnold is not only a talented actor in film and television, but also a very talented actor. Politically gifted politicians."

The reporter asked again: "Then what do you think of his ability to govern, especially his ability to govern economically?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "I completely believe in Arnold's economic talent. In fact, before he was sworn in, he was constantly studying how to solve California's growing economic problems. Out of trust in him, I will soon In the future, we will continue to increase investment in California and expand the existing business scale, strengthen the cooperation between Makino Technology and California, and hope to use this cooperation to improve the daily communication between the people of the two countries.”

The reporters didn't know at this time that Li Mu was ready to become a "human trafficker" running through both ends of the earth.

...

After the inauguration ceremony was completely over, Li Mu took his own private jet to Hollywood to attend Schwarzenegger's private party.

Lin Qingya was also temporarily arrested by Li Mu and sat on his Gulfstream g550 with him.

Since many Hollywood stars are like Li Mu, they take a private plane to Sacramento and then take a private plane to return to Hollywood, so the Sacramento airport is very busy at night, and all kinds of private planes all over the city are queuing up to take off.

The plane stopped and went while queuing up to take off, but Li Mu was not in a hurry, but discussed with Lin Qingya about the idea of ​​enhancing tourism exchanges between China's first-tier cities and California, which he promised to Schwarzenegger.

Today's Huaxia has not really entered the field of vision of the Western people, or in other words, the Western people have not yet begun to truly understand this ancient eastern country. All their understanding of China is basically based on domestic media reports, but , these media reports have many distorted facts,

So much so that Westerners do not understand Huaxia at all.

In later generations, with the continuous development of China's economy, more and more Westerners entered China and traveled to China. They felt the prosperity of China's first-tier cities, traveled through China's great rivers and mountains, and took China's high-speed railway. , they began to continuously bring the real side of China back to Western countries, so that more and more Westerners know what the real China looks like.

Now, Li Mu wants to use his cooperation with Schwarzenegger as soon as possible to first promote the cross-tourism of the people in the first-tier cities in China and the people in California, so that the people in the first-tier cities in China can come out, and let the people in California go in.

Therefore, his first thought was to quickly talk about airline routes, as well as hotels in first-tier cities in China and California.

Lin Qingya is also very supportive of Li Mu's idea, believing that this idea can increase the exchanges between the two sides from the deepest level and enhance the popularity of China's first-tier cities in the Western world.

So, she said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, if you want to do this business, I suggest putting it on the Taobao team to do it."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me what you think."

Lin Qingya said: "Although our starting point is to make air routes and hotels between China's first-tier cities and California's big cities, the airline and hotel business itself is a part of the e-commerce field. I think Ctrip has developed very well in the past two years. Capital is also increasingly recognizing his model. In this case, we might as well add air ticket booking and hotel booking services on Taobao. In the early stage, we can sell air tickets and hotels. , which in itself is a large segment of the business positioning the travel market.”

Li Mu looked at Lin Qingya in surprise. He didn't expect that after Lin Qingya stayed in Silicon Valley for a while, her horizons really broadened.

Isn't the model she mentioned the flying pig of Ali in later generations?

It's just that Fliggy started a little late, and the situation was somewhat embarrassing.

The pattern of e-commerce business is to combine first and then divide. At the beginning, everyone did a comprehensive job, like Taobao, which is almost all-encompassing, but later, it will be split into different products according to various business segments.

For example, take out the brand store from Taobao to make Tmall, take out the air ticket travel from Taobao to make Fliggy, take second-hand transactions from Taobao to make salted fish...

Taobao is still in the stage of "first integration", and it must first integrate various fields.

Air tickets and hotels are a very large segment in later generations, and Taobao is now a good time to cut in.

Afterwards, Li Mu agreed and said: "What you said makes sense, this business should be integrated into Taobao.com and develop slowly at the 2C end. First, we will start to cultivate users from the domestic and California business, and then enlarge it a little bit. The goal is to be able to replace vertical platforms like Ctrip and become the number one in this field."

Lin Qingya hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, do you want to send a marketing team from Taobao to integrate the hotel resources in California and cut out a part."

Li Mudao: "Instead of doing this, I might as well join up with Schwarzenegger to set up a Sino-US entrepreneur salon, and first gather companies in the civil aviation, hotel, and tourism industries to have a chat. We will match up in the middle, even if there is no demand. , I spend money to create demand, but also to build cooperation between the two sides first."

Lin Qingya asked him, "You mean to buy resources from both sides?"

Li Mu nodded: "Well, since we want to promote cooperation, we must show sincerity. In fact, many cooperations are stuck in the step of sincerity. We want to help them sell air tickets and hotels. , Besides, we are not short of this money, I simply guarantee the airlines and hotels, buy some of their resources directly, and then resell them to our target users."

Lin Qingya asked, "When are you going to do this entrepreneur salon? Where do you do it?"

Li Mu said: "The sooner the better, and it must be done in China."

After speaking, Li Mu added: "I will chat with Schwarzenegger at night, and let him talk to California airlines, hotel groups and travel companies in the past few days, and ask them if they are interested in cooperating with me. , directly form a group to Yanjing, I will hold a summit forum for them at the foot of the Great Wall, and by the way, let them see the great rivers and mountains of our China."

Lin Qingya said with a smile, "Then you should have bought a big plane so that you can directly pull these American entrepreneurs over there."

Li Mu smiled and said, "If this matter is reliable, it won't be a big problem for us to buy an airline later."

Lin Qingya was surprised: "Do you need to invest so much, Mr. Li? The cost of airlines is very high."

Li Mu said with a smile: "Not only airlines can do it themselves, but also hotels and tourism services here. Think about it, if we can combine the four cities of Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng and Shenzhen. The first-tier cities have opened up tourism exchanges with San Francisco and Los Angeles, so using the same method, I will soon be able to open up tourism exchanges between these four cities and the United Kingdom.”

Lin Qingya nodded. Li Mu has a very close relationship with the Windsor family. With this relationship as the foundation, this trivial matter can be easily achieved.

Li Mu continued: "Then I can use the influence of the United Kingdom in Europe, and then open up France, Germany and even all the Schengen countries. Through our publicity methods, our customized routes and price advantages, we can make people in these places all over the place. Attracting to the first-tier cities in China, they will take our airline’s flights, stay in hotels under our hotel group, and enjoy the travel services provided by our travel company, which will create a lot of profit for us.”

Lin Qingya said: "If you want to acquire airlines, hotel groups and tourism companies in this sector, the demand for funds is still very huge. Can Taobao support such a large business expenditure?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "I just said that the entrance of 2c should be opened on Taobao, so that users can purchase these services from Taobao, but these supporting services, from the capital level, I am going to put it under the name of Muye Technology. Operation, because Makino Technology will start listing in the first half of next year. Once listed, the capital problem will be easily solved, and for a company whose business is constantly improving, any normal merger and acquisition is almost cost-effective, because the market will Give this company enough confidence."

"For example, the market trusts the ability and potential of Makino Technology. When we have a market value of 200 billion, we spend 10 billion to acquire a company. Under normal circumstances, the market will adjust our valuation upward. It is possible that after the acquisition, Our market cap can climb all the way up to $220 billion.”

"In this way, it is equivalent to Muye Technology investing in airlines, hotel groups and tourism companies, and then exporting these business resources exclusively to Taobao, which is solely responsible for sales."

Taobao is currently a lot worse than Muye Technology in terms of valuation. The main reason is that Taobao's business is still in the Huaxia market, and it has not really developed a global pattern. In addition, the current e-commerce is still in an embryonic stage. In a few years on Taobao, he has the opportunity to keep pace with Muye Technology.
