Silicon Valley

The next day, Smith bought Pearson Group for $17 billion!

Finnish Prime Minister Aho has a famous saying: "The most important thing to create a new economy is education!"

Henry agrees with this sentence very much. He also puts education first in the development of the country. From Cisco's establishment of primary and secondary schools, to Henry's establishment of Williams University, to China's acquisition of training schools such as New Oriental, Xinhua Group, and Lanxiang, it can be seen that Henry attaches great importance to education.

Education itself is a rigid demand, which is equivalent to an absolute demand, such as necessities such as salt, no matter what the future holds, but both children and adults need education! ! !

Therefore, investing in education is a matter that benefits both mankind and itself!

After the acquisition of Pearson Group, Henry decided to spin off Penguin Publishing Group, "Financial Times" and "Broker Scholars", and Pearson Group will concentrate on the development of education in the future. Among them, Penguin Publishing Group merged with Random House and West German Publishing House to form a new company called Penguin Bookstore. The company's logo is also very vivid, that is, a penguin stands at the door of the bookstore.

Subsequently, the "Financial Times", "The Economist", "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily News", Europe's largest magazine Gruner Jarr merged into Williams News Corporation.

The remaining Pearson Group merged with training schools such as New Oriental and Xinhua Group to form Williams Education Group.

The next step for Williams Education Group is strategic expansion!

The only way for Williams Education Group to enter the world's top 500 companies at the fastest speed is to acquire. The world's three largest listed education groups, Navita Navita Group, study-Group Learning Group, and Kaplan Kaplan Group are the acquisition targets of Williams Education Group!

Teachers are national power! ! !

After the acquisition of these education groups, they will be able to have a lot of teacher resources, and the teaching level of Williams Empire will rise sharply. At the same time, there are many students all over the world. Most of these students are talents. As long as they are "encouraged", they may come to the Williams Empire to study, work, live, and immigrate in the future...

Therefore, the acquisition of the education group is also a talent strategic plan!

It is true that the foundation of the Williams Empire is too poor, there must be a talent vacuum stage in a short period of time, and only when the children grow up, will the Williams Empire talent explode! ! ! So, before that, we can only attract talents from the outside world.

However, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This time, Henry has acquired Bertelsmann and Pearson in a row, and needs to digest it. The top priority is to integrate resources, optimize use, and improve efficiency! Otherwise, if the acquisition continues, the company will become more and more bloated! However, the acquisition team led by Smith can collect information, and when the time is right, they will initiate acquisitions from other education groups!

At the moment, Henry is writing a business plan!

Under the impact of the Internet, publishing houses, news media, and education must all transform into digital industries. In terms of understanding of the future mobile Internet, no one knows better than Henry, so the business plan written by himself has a very high probability of success! In about an hour, Henry wrote the business plan.

He wants to develop three apps, one called "Earth News Online", one called "Earth Education Online", and one called "Penguin Bookstore"!

In the "Earth News Online" APP, you can browse popular news such as "Financial Times" and "The Economist", but if you want to see more, you need to subscribe. For example, subscribing to the "Financial Times" costs $15 a month, which is much cheaper than buying newspapers! Unlike other places in Europe and the United States, copyright is very important, and citizens respect copyright. So, don't worry too much about FT articles being stolen by other commercial organizations!

The world's largest English website IReader website is Henry's property, and the world's largest website "" is also Henry's property.

Penguin Bookstore has the largest traditional literature copyright, if combined with the IReader website and the online novel copyright of the website, it is simply a combination of super invincible giants! Henry naturally wants Penguin Bookstore to acquire the iReader website and website. With the world's largest publishing group as the parent company of the website, it will be easier to publish novels, and it will definitely attract a large number of writers to join. Moreover, it is very easy for Penguin Bookstore to rely on its huge scale and channels to create a super IP! In the future, Penguin Bookstore will also acquire local websites in various countries, such as French websites and German websites, to create a super APP with internationalization and localization.

"Earth Education Online" APP is an online education software. Williams Education Group uses its own resources to provide online reading of video courses, online reading of learning materials, practice question bank, online answering of questions, etc. At the same time, it can also provide One-to-one teaching, one-to-many online teaching services, the course involves all aspects, including all current subjects and various exams! Of course, most of these come with a fee.

In addition, in Henry's vision, the artificial intelligence program "Google Brain" that Google is developing is planned to be shipped to the "Earth Education Online" APP to provide artificial intelligence to answer questions online.

"Earth Education Online" is divided into two modes: manual online answering and artificial intelligence online answering. The former requires a fee, while the latter does not. "Earth Education Online" imports all learning materials and practice question banks into "Google Brain". As long as students ask questions in the APP software, they can give answers immediately. This way, manpower is saved and the efficiency is higher; secondly, artificial intelligence answers questions, satisfies the curiosity of learning, and increases the fun of learning!

As the "Google Brain" stores more and more things, it will become a super student.

Can't do questions, ask Google, "Google Brain" knows everything! Therefore, students will get used to logging into the "Earth Education Online" APP. There are at least one billion students in the world. As long as one tenth of them use "Earth Education Online", that is a very remarkable number, and it will definitely become the world's fifth largest student. Top 100 companies! At the same time, "Google Brain" is recognized by the students, which will definitely increase Google's stickiness and play a huge role!

The main service group of "Earth Education Online" is students, and students need to communicate and share, so icq, Facebook and other social programs embedded in this APP should be very popular!

Starting from elementary school students, use YouTube for course videos, Google for search, icq and Facebook for social networking, and Amazon for purchasing educational books. How will other companies play in the Internet field in the future!

If the "Earth Education Online" APP develops, the hearts of other companies should be broken!

Subsequently, Henry emailed his business plan to each relevant company.

Penguin Bookstore and Williams News Group are relatively easy, just follow Henry’s settings, and Williams Education Group needs to cooperate with many companies to develop “Earth Education Online” according to Henry’s requirements, and this This kind of cooperation is a strategic cooperation, so, in order to cooperate closely with each other, Google, YouTube, icq, Facebook and Amazon need to invest in the "Earth Education Online" APP!

It is also because of their investment that we can do our best to promote "Earth Education Online"!

The more the merrier!

With the joint promotion of these Internet giants, it is difficult for the "Earth Education Online" APP not to become popular. If it develops into a phenomenal APP, many schools will require students to download the "Earth Education Online" APP to assist their learning! Moreover, "Earth Education Online" can also cooperate with local schools, especially some famous schools, such as Cambridge University, Oxford University, etc., allowing them to upload their own teaching videos and learning courseware, etc., which can help them make profits on the one hand, and can Promote their school, Sanlai, the joining of famous schools adds more attraction to "Earth Education Online"!

With more and more franchised schools, "Earth Education Online" will eventually become a giant in the education field, with a huge talent pool! ! !

After mastering the level, trends, hobbies and other information of these talents, is it not easy to recruit them in the future?

At this time, each company saw the email Henry sent them, and after reading it, they were shocked.

"After the successful creation of the Earth Education Online APP, education has become one of the entrances to the mobile Internet! Regardless of whether it makes money or not, as long as these students use icq, they will make money!!!" Tian Shuai said with emotion, and then said to the person next to him. A secretary ordered, "Help me get through to the headquarters of Williams Education Group!"

"Yes!"

Similar scenes happened in Google, YouTube, Facebook and Amazon, and the CEOs of the companies began to contact Williams Education Group to prepare for cooperation.

The former chairman of Pearson Group, Lance Huslett, received calls one after another from the Internet giant, and his heart was filled with emotion, almost bursting out. He said excitedly and tremblingly: "It's great that the five Internet giants, Google, icq, Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon, are willing to help us jointly build the 'Earth Education Online' app. The digital transformation of Pearson's core education industry is bound to succeed!! !"

Others nodded again and again.

Even without the joining of other Internet giants, just a business plan for "Earth Education Online" is enough to shock everyone. What's more, with the joining of these giants, it is like adding wings to a tiger. No one doubts that this project will fail. ! On the contrary, everyone is full of confidence in this project and full of longing for the future.

"With the introduction of traffic from these Internet giants, we can set a small goal for the 'Earth Education Online' APP, 10 million first!" Just after the letters between these companies and the Williams Education Group, Henry called He smiled and said to Lance Heslett, "Earth Education Online is developed on both the PC and mobile terminals. PCs are still the mainstream now, but in a few years, the Internet will dominate the mobile terminal. At that time, many students If everyone has a mobile phone, the number of users of the 'Earth Education Online' app will skyrocket. Now, let the PC and mobile terminals go hand in hand and take the first-mover advantage!"

"En! Yes, that's right!!!" Lance Heslet nodded repeatedly.

Henry said: "Well, let's integrate the resources of the Williams Education Group first, and then launch high-quality, high-quality course content. The key to the success of 'Earth Education Online' lies in the quality of the courses. Education must be done with heart. If you rush to make money and rush to make money, it will be counterproductive. Therefore, in terms of content, it is better to strive for excellence!!! The development of APP software may be relatively faster, and I can transfer some talents to it. Slowly develop!"

"Okay, I understand!" Lance Heslett assured Henry in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will strictly supervise!"

"That's good!" Henry nodded, then hung up the phone.

"Villette, make me a cup of coffee, thank you!" Henry yelled at Violet, and then lay on the armchair thinking about something.

"Earth News Online", "Earth Education Online" and "Penguin Bookstore" are three apps. Henry is actually the least sure about "Earth Education Online", because there are almost no companies that can expand online education in his previous life, let alone impossible. As Henry imagined, it has become a must-download software for every student's mobile phone. But the reason why he dared to think so was because he had a lot of Internet resources. Therefore, there is still a possibility of success!

Education is the need of every student, there is no reason why this industry cannot grow!

However, as Tian Shuai said, even if the "Earth Education Online" app does not make money, as long as students can use the software in it, half of the success is already achieved. Therefore, Henry is not afraid of failure. What's more, if so many companies join forces, if they fail like this, wouldn't they be too incompetent? !

Violet came over with a cup of strong coffee at this time, and put it on Henry's table, "Your Majesty, your coffee!"

Henry nodded, picked up the coffee cup, drank it, and refreshed himself. Because the next thing Henry has to deal with involves the territorial sovereignty of other countries, and Henry wants to annex these countries, so he must be full of energy and go all out! ! !
