Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 2675: Olympic cars

"So you just backed down and asked Microsoft to get a bargain?"

Leaning on Xiao Qi, Xiao Meiji held the cloth in her arms and said lazily.

Bu'er, who is ten months old, only had her breastfeeding last month. On the one hand, Tang Mingxiang spoiled her, and on the other hand, Xiao Meiji had too much milk, and she always provided her daughter's food abundantly. .

It was the persuasion of the Japanese aunts that the child should be able to slowly change to other staple foods at this time. Although breast milk is good, the consumption of cloth will increase in the future, and it must not be satisfied forever.

So Tang Mingxiang had to ask Buer to eat some fruit and vegetable puree, rice porridge and so on.

However, it seems that the little girl is not used to it yet. From time to time, she wants to rub her mother's chest. When sleeping, she has to lean her head against it to feel comfortable.

The beautiful feeling of holding his wife and daughter in her arms made Xiao Qi feel lazy and hoped that time would last so long.

"Well, in life, where can you always be tough? Those who should give in, give in, and those who should admit defeat." Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Besides, we are not at a loss. You look at the news in the newspaper these past two days. But it's all ironic that Microsoft was too much taken advantage of, and it was willing to offer such a high price for a company that was destined to be investigated and tortured! They all said we made more!

"It's not a question of money or money, okay?" Tang Mingxiang gave his husband a white look. "We are SKYPE that was forced to sell. Those **** in Europe are really too much! I'm worried that they will also be suppressed! "

"That's not true." Xiao Qi shook his head, "The nature is different. Thousands of small and medium businesses in the country involved are involved. If they are dealt with, they will lose their jobs. In this era of financial crisis, if they If you don’t even have food, then there will be a big problem. And there are many people who have benefited, all of them are the people of their own country, so they will not be disturbed.

When SKYPE suffers, it suffers. One company can cross the distance of time and space, and can set up a communications company on its own without any help from the country in which it is located, and thus start making money. Such a low cost. Of course, it will create low fees, thereby suppressing their local communications industry. Besides, the communications industry is not about eating. Even if SKYPE is moved, the public will not react too much. This is an important reason why those giants want to rectify SKYPE. "

Tang Mingxiang tapped Fenzhen, "What about Microsoft? Can they withstand the pressure?"

"Of course!" Xiao Qi said, "Microsoft is unique in software, and has a lot of cooperation with the US military industry and defense, and Microsoft is also a symbol of the US electronic software industry. Naturally, they will receive the full support of the United States. The European Union. The investigation there, at best, is to reach an agreement with Microsoft in the future so that they can monitor the content of these communications, but I dare not really cut off Microsoft's SKYPE service."

"They are really lucky!" Tang Mingxiang laughed.

"I want our luck to be as good as they are. Naturally, we must start with ourselves and work hard." Xiao Qi sighed, "South America belongs to the United States, Africa belongs to Europe, and now our country is the only thing China can fight for. , That is, those countries in Southeast Asia. But in these countries, the situation is very complicated, and the road ahead is still very long!"

"You don't work in politics, and Dad won't take on relevant duties, so don't worry. Let the government officials do it!" Tang Mingxiang said indifferently.

When it comes to the overall layout of the country, Tang Mingxiang is of course not interested. All she cares about is her husband, daughter, and her own career.

In fact, the Fairy Company announced an agreement with Microsoft. After purchasing SKYPE at a price of $11 billion, except for the wives around Xiao Qi, most of the rest felt that Xiao Qi had done another beautiful business.

Because SKYPE has become a hot potato, if the fairy company is held in its hands, it will definitely depreciate more and more.

And being able to get rid of it at such a high price is for the Fairy Company. Of course it is a good thing.

After all, SKYPE does not have much to do with the main business of Fairy Company.

What many people don’t know is that because Xiao Qi controls SKYPE’s two major companies-Mingxiang Holdings and Qicai Investment, both of which belong to the international offshore financial zone and are not registered in the United States at all, and Microsoft also uses some Tax avoidance policies, international accounting firms helped Xiao Qi avoid taxes, so Xiao Qi sold SKYPE and paid taxes to the US government, not the legendary 50%, but only about 9%.

So Xiao Qi actually got 10 billion U.S. dollars in cash, which was a bargain.

The couple was here for me and mine, and suddenly the phone rang.

Xiao Qi got up helplessly and picked up the phone. After seeing who it was, he answered the phone, "Hey, this is Xiao Qi."

"Kid Shao, let me tell you a good news!" Liberty over there said in a loud voice, "Our Uber has successfully won the special car project for the London Olympics!"

"Really?" Xiao Qi said in surprise.

"Haha, can I lie to you? After months of hard work, this matter is finally settled. The London Olympics Organizing Committee has called me just now, and the official documents will be signed tomorrow! "Liberty said, "In this way, our Uber can finally go out of the United States and go to Europe!"

The population of Europe is small, and the entire population is about 1 billion, which is not as good as China and India.

But most of these people are wealthy, and there are also a few very large urban agglomerations with tens of millions of residents.

Such as London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Rome and so on.

Uber’s favorite business in doing business is densely populated metropolises. Such an urban agglomeration can carry a lot of business and enable Uber to develop better.

However, the opportunity to enter these super metropolises is still not so easy.

They are all the same as New York. License plates, taxi companies, etc., all have great economic connections. You are an online taxi company from the United States. Go inside to grab the market and profits. It is even more intolerable than SKYPE!

So Liberty thought of a way to use the opportunity of the London Olympics to let the relevant departments and sports teams of the London Olympics use Uber for free, and then rely on this good reputation to completely open the London market.

As long as he has a firm foothold in London, Liebot will not be afraid.

Even New York has fallen. Are you afraid that you will be London?

So after getting a reply from the London Olympic Committee, he was so happy and quickly called Xiao Qi to announce his good news.

As everyone knows, Xiao Qi has known this result a long time ago, because the previous Uber also used the same trick to win the Olympic free car project and began to flourish in the European continent.

Of course, part of the reason is that Uber's public relations are very good, but the biggest reason is that the London Olympic Committee is too poor. There is such a fool to bear the car service and save them tens of millions of pounds. , They are anxious, how can they care about bringing the wolf into the room?

"Next we will be able to test operations in London, at least before the Olympics, there is no problem, this period of time depends on our own performance." Liberty said sternly.

Many people feel that only China attaches so much importance to the Olympics, which makes them very nervous.

In fact, this is not the case. Every country and city that hosts the Olympic Games pays the same attention. This is also related to the face of the country and city. If anything goes wrong, it will definitely be a shame for the organizer.

Therefore, as long as you enter in the name of the Olympic sponsor, Uber will be unimpeded in London. Even if there is any trouble, the London Olympic Organizing Committee will help to fix it. After all, it will not make any sense to suppress the sponsor. Let the sponsors chill.

Xiao Qi nodded when he heard the words, "If you have any difficulties, you can go to Branson of Virgin Group. He is still quite capable in the UK."

"Okay!" Liberty also has a bottom in his heart. Branson is the richest man in the UK and has a strong network. The more people Uber can support in the UK, the more stable it can go.

This is not to say that Uber has no other public relations response measures, but with the strong support of the boss, they will have more ways to deal with it and avoid difficulties in the implementation process.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although you and the European Union can make me so embarrassed on SKYPE, I have a way to occupy your market.

Although Uber has a lot of controversy and trouble in the law, its emergence is closely related to people's daily life, and it is a relief of urban congestion.

So even if there are many people who oppose Uber, there are many people who support Uber.

As long as Xiao Qi can control the pursuit of profit, and use a large amount of profit to support the construction of public transportation facilities according to the United States, then even in those big cities in the European Union, it will not encounter as many as Uber in the previous life. difficult.

At that time, Uber will gradually grow up and become a new successful online case, which is just around the corner.

It's just a pity. Many of Uber's shares have to be sold to others, and their power will be used to resist the counterattack of taxi interest groups.

Otherwise, Xiao Qi alone owns the super-large network company with more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, which is absolutely enviable and jealous! (To be continued.)
