Giant of the times - Chapter 507

c498 All the talents from around the world are at our disposal!

William also quickly established the 51job, 58.com and LinkedIn websites. As long as you have money, you are invincible! Money can make a difference, and there is no company that cannot be bought with money. If you cannot buy it, it means that the bargaining chip you gave is not high enough.

51job focuses on recruitment and should be said to be the largest recruitment website in China.

58.com also has recruitment, but it should be called a classified information website, including recruitment, real estate, second-hand cars, second-hand houses, housekeeping services, etc.

But whether it is 51job or 58.com, the website traffic cannot be compared with LinkedIn. Because LinkedIn is not just a recruitment website, its essence is actually a workplace social software.

This website was established in December 2002 and launched in 2003. It is headquartered in Mountain View, California, USA. In 2006, with the launch of the public profile function, LinkedIn began to build its professional profile database, and achieved profitability that year. Later, it introduced core functions such as “recommendation letters” and “members you may know”. The company’s development and growth have accelerated again, making LinkedIn popular among venture capital companies.

LinkedIn is widely regarded as a valuable, trustworthy and powerful business platform. You can use LinkedIn to enhance your personal influence and build a layer-by-layer network of contacts. You can also establish yourself as an opinion leader in the industry to attract potential customers, employers, employees, etc. Join LinkedIn to expand your network, share ideas, gain industry insights, and discover job and business opportunities with professionals around the world.

According to statistical reports, LinkedIn members have, to a large extent, higher education levels and wealth accumulation. More than 40% of members earn $100,000 or more annually. More importantly, LinkedIn focuses on business people from around the world, and the vast majority of them are close to or directly decision-makers! Your direct contacts on LinkedIn are called first-level contacts and are also your direct network. You can click “Connect” or temporarily provide your email address to LinkedIn to automatically connect with past customers or friends and become your first-level contact network. You can also directly import your email address book to discover acquaintances.

The great thing about LinkedIn is that through first-level connections, you can find various levels of connections in every corner of the world. For example, you have 100 first-level connections, each one Each level has 100 connections, so think about how many connections you will have! You must know that these connections are not entertainment, nor are they micro-businesses that add you as friends for no reason, but some kind of business connections and some kind of career opportunities. There is no vulgar taste here, there are no WeChat friend messages like “You should also clear up”, invitations to vote and likes, and alarmist rumors. As long as you cause harassment to others and are reported, you may be blocked!

As far as Li Zetian knows, many employees in his company are LinkedIn users. In addition, what impressed Li Zetian the most about LinkedIn was that in his previous life, Microsoft spent a huge amount of US$26.2 billion to acquire LinkedIn in 2016!

That Microsoft is willing to spend so much money to buy LinkedIn is enough to illustrate the importance of the LinkedIn website.

Some people may wonder why Li Zetian acquired headhunting companies and recruitment websites. In fact, the reason is very simple. The outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States will definitely make many people unemployed. Even if they are not unemployed, their wages and benefits will be reduced, giving rise to the idea of ​​​​changing jobs. Li Zetian can use these talents for his own use through headhunting companies and recruitment websites.

Li Zetian could no longer predict the serious situation after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States. Because of his “participation”, it would definitely be much worse than in his previous life! ! !

Li Zetian has prepared nearly one trillion US dollars in funds, and he is not only planning to short stock index futures in the United States. His ambitions are naturally huge, and he has already set his sights on the whole world. Because the outbreak of the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis will inevitably lead to a decline in the global economy and a sharp fall in the stock market!

Li Zetian’s short selling of stock index futures in various countries around the world will inevitably make the stock market declines in various countries more serious, leading to the bankruptcy of countless companies.

Of course, Li Zetian also has targeted targets, mainly targeting the United States, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany…

Not long after, the Liepin.com project was established.

This Liepin.com is not the other Liepin.com. It is much better than the previous Liepin.com. It is backed by the support of the world’s top five headhunting companies as well as LinkedIn and 51job. To be precise, they are actually shareholders of Liepin.com.

Subsequently, with the support of Li Zetian, the five major headhunters, LinkedIn, 51job, Liepin.com and 58.com all began to enter the rapid development lane.

Hangzhou, Youran Garden.

“The headhunting company and recruitment website have been successfully deployed, and all the talents from around the world have come to us!!” Li Zetian laughed happily.

It’s now April, the flowers are in full bloom in the yard, and the mood of spring is full of joy.

Dongfang Yuqin walked to Li Zetian with a sweet smile.

Li Zetian looked at her and said, “Is there another good news?”

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and replied: “Yes, news just came from the United States. New Century Financial, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced on April 2 that it was facing a $17.4 billion debt squeeze from Wall Street. File for bankruptcy protection and lay off 54% of employees!”

“Snapped!”

Hearing this, Li Zetian was so excited that he couldn’t help but pat his thigh, “Great, this is really great news!!!”

Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said: “You are right in predicting the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, it has begun to break out!”

Li Zetian asked again: “Are you all ready?”

Dongfang Yuqin knew what Li Zetian was asking and replied with a smile: “We are all ready and can short the stock index futures of various countries around the world at any time!”

Li Zetian calculated the time and said: “It’s almost time. Start taking action, or things may change later.”

“Okay, I’ll give the order right now!”

At this time, although New Century Financial Company filed for bankruptcy, obviously no one thought of the seriousness of this financial crisis. But after a few more months, it became clear that the subprime mortgage crisis would sweep through the world’s major financial markets such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan. It would not be easy to short stock index futures at that time. Who would be so stupid as to be willing to trade with Li Zetian, knowing that a financial crisis has broken out?

With a phone call from Dongfang Yuqin, investment institutions all over the world began to take action.

There are a staggering amount of short trades every day.

At present, the economies of all countries in the world are developing rapidly, and the stock indexes of various countries are increasing steadily. At this time, a large number of short positions appear, which makes people suspicious. Of course, for many greedy financial institutions and stock investors, they think this is undoubtedly a good thing for investors. They give money.
