Spotify
It’s difficult for us to imagine a time when we couldn’t listen to our favorite music with the simple press of a button. We are extremely grateful to Spotify for making this possible! Since its inception in 2006, the New York-based company has become known for providing customers with the option of streaming music. Despite its Swedish origins, it has since traveled to a variety of locations all over the world.
During the third quarter of 2017, Spotify and Tencent Holdings each bought a 10% stake in the other. Spotify’s entry into the Chinese market was assisted by the joint venture, which also allowed Tencent to expand its catalog. The streaming service was having trouble expanding its market share in China prior to collaborating on this project.
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel
Anyone looking for high-end accommodations in New York City’s luxury district should consider this luxurious hotel. It is a New York institution as well as a piece of American history that has been passed down through the generations. Anbang Insurance Group bought the hotel for $1.95 billion in 2014, despite the fact that it is managed by Hilton Worldwide. It is the most expensive hotel in the world’s history as a result of its astronomical price.
A portion of the hotel’s rooms were converted into condominiums after the Chinese corporation renovated it extensively. Apart from that, the insurance company is looking to buy more American businesses. The company was considering buying Starwood Resorts.
