WeWork
Over the past few years, the rise of shared workspaces has become more visible to everyone because of how the setup is attractive to freelancers and startups. WeWork took advantage of this during its launch a decade ago. The company had a rough time in 2016 and needed more capital. The Beijing-based company called Legend Holdings Corp. came in and poured over $430 million into the company. John Zhao of Legend Holdings Corp. stated: “Our investment in WeWork is both strategic and obvious.”
Segway Inc
People back then believed that whizzing around on two wheels is something that can only be seen from sci-fi films. Segway Inc. however, proved that it is possible in real life as well! In 2015, Beijing-based company named Ninebot bought the transportation company for $80 million. Ever since Ninebot acquired them, things have gone smoothly for Segway. The company announced that it was planning to move their production from New Hampshire to China in 2018, but eventually took back the statement and said that majority of production would stay at Bedford.
