Li Zetian has now acquired Marvel, and he has to set up Marvel Studios to shoot movies, which has undoubtedly changed the history of Marvel. Even Li Zetian himself does not know whether this is good or not.
However, since D and Warner Bros. can successfully launch "People" and "Batman", Marvel Studios should also be able to make successful films. Moreover, Marvel Studios also has the help of Industrial Light and Magic, which is more successful.
Now, not only Marvel, but the historical trend of the entire era has changed.
As we all know, semiconductors involve all walks of life.
Under the influence of Li Zetian, the technology and entertainment culture of the whole era developed rapidly! If the lithography giant Esmore develops a brand-new lithography machine, and if Applied Materials (app1iedmateria1s) develops a single-chip assembly process technology, it will break Moore's Law and bring about a leap forward in the global semiconductor industry! In fact, this time may not be long...
At that time, the graphics workstations used by ILM will become more powerful, and the level of computer special effects will naturally be greatly enhanced.
Li Zetian continued to invest 5000,000 US dollars into Marvel, and let them shoot the movie.
Now that Thomas Rockefeller has contacted him many times, Apple has been taken away by dore-64 computers for most of the market, and the building will collapse. Thomas Rockefeller finally admitted his failure. The Rockefeller Consortium has extremely powerful control in traditional industries such as energy, finance, and military industries. However, in the computer field, technology is updated too fast. If you are not careful, it will lag behind other companies. People, they just can't play.
Li Zetian felt that the time was almost up, and he could not be a man. After all, the Rockefeller Consortium and the California Consortium were the two major consortiums in the United States, so he accepted the invitation of Thomas Rockefeller and started the second round of negotiations.
When Li Zetian came to Apple's headquarters this time, the faces of Thomas Rockefeller and others were even more haggard than before, and they had lost their former self-confidence and arrogance.
"os, sit down!" Thomas Rockefeller said.
"Okay." Li Zetian sat down to the first position on the right side of the negotiating table, and the people accompanying him also sat down one by one.
Li Zetian said in a light tone: "In the first round of negotiations, I said that the acquisition of Apple for 2.5 billion US dollars is already a good price, but you do not accept it. Now the dore-64 computer is hot and sold all over the world, for Apple. , is undoubtedly a heavy blow. And as far as I know, Apple has recently launched the app1e printer, and it turns out that it is not the opponent of printer giants such as HP, Epson, Xerox, etc. There are many products in the warehouse!"
Thomas Rockefeller looked embarrassed. He proposed the game console project, which led Apple into the abyss, and he also proposed the printer project, and now it is a money-losing product!
Many of Apple's directors were very dissatisfied with Thomas Rockefeller, including two directors of a California consortium. Apple was almost destroyed by Thomas Rockefeller...
Li Zetian smiled secretly, it seems that Apple's board of directors has already fallen apart!
At this time, Thomas Rockefeller bit his head, looked at Li Zetian and said, "os, how much are you going to pay to buy Apple?"
Li Zetian did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and pretended to be contemplative.
The atmosphere was dignified and tense. The longer Li Zetian thought about it, the more pressure he would cause the other party!
The major directors of Apple are determined to sell the hot potato of Apple, change hands as soon as possible, and recover a little more loss.
The meeting room was surprisingly quiet.
Everyone looked at him.
At this time, Li Zetian opened his mouth, and he slowly spit out a number: "1.5 billion US dollars!"
Hearing this offer, everyone almost wanted to overturn the table and curse.
It's only been a long time, and it has lost 100 million US dollars all of a sudden. This is too much to look down on Apple!
Apple directors were outraged and chattered.
"os·li, this price is too low!"
"Hmph, it's a dream to buy Apple for $1.5 billion. I firmly disagree!"
"os·li, we can barely accept $200 million!"
"… "
The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose, and he chuckled: "Hehe, it seems that everyone is not satisfied with my offer. However, please think about Apple's current situation and its debts. Apple still owes the bank $700 million, that is to say, After I bought Apple, I had to pay back $700 million to the bank. At first I thought that Apple might turn around, but the popularity of the dore-64 computer exceeded my expectations, and now I am afraid that no one is willing to buy Apple. If I wasn't the founder of Apple, and I didn't want to watch this once brilliant company go to hell, I probably wouldn't have bought it!"
"But you are os·li, you bought Apple, and Apple will naturally develop!" said a director of Apple.
Li Zetian couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Haha, your logic is really interesting. Because I am os·li, I can re-develop Apple, so I should buy Apple at a high price?"
When the man heard this, his face was full of embarrassment.
"But $1.5 billion is really too little!"
"Is 1.5 billion US dollars very little?" Li Zetian said lightly, "1.5 billion US dollars is enough for me to build several new Apple companies!!!"
When everyone heard the words, they were all speechless.
Since Li Zetian woke up, he has founded three companies: Flamingo Company, Galaxy Network Company, and Sun Computer Systems Company. All three companies are now leaders in their respective industries!
Needless to say, the Flamingo Company defeated the Sunbird Company and became the overlord of the game console.
Galaxy Networks launched the network card, which caused a sensation in the industry, making Ethernet the standard, beating out other local area network technologies. Apple has suffered a lot from being unwilling to work with Galaxy Networks.
Sun Computer Systems Co., Ltd. launched a graphics workstation, which was immediately welcomed by graphics workers, and charged with the dominance of ibm and de minicomputers!
The market value of these three companies has been evaluated by Wall Street. The market value of Flamingo Company is as high as more than 000 million US dollars, the market value of Galaxy Network Company is more than 500 million US dollars, and the market value of Sun Computer Systems is more than 400 million US dollars.
Although the market value of Galaxy Network is currently only 500 million US dollars, the industry is very optimistic about this company. With the popularization of computers, network cards are an indispensable product!
As for sun computer systems company, the development momentum is very strong, once the ibm and de companies are overturned, the market value can quickly reach 100 million US dollars!
Li Zetian founded these three companies with a total capital of less than 300 million US dollars.
Seeing the silence of the crowd, Li Zetian said, "The longer you delay, the more detrimental it will be to Apple. Now you all think clearly, whether to sell or not to sell? Also, I would like to remind you that if this acquisition fails, I will re-establish a company. Get involved in a personal computer company. It's not my ranting, if I enter the personal computer market, I will definitely be the first! Don't blame me for not reminding you..."
The faces of Apple's directors suddenly changed.
"os·li re-established the company and entered the personal computer market, that's great?! Will Apple's market share decrease again?!!"
Apple's directors immediately fidgeted.
Seeing the other party's expression, Li Zetian couldn't help but smile, he was already winning!
Thomas Rockefeller's face sank. With his knowledge of Li Zetian, he had no doubts about what Li Zetian just said.
A monstrous genius, every time he sets foot in an industry, he will defeat the original overlord of the industry!
He is always creative and insightful, as if he can see through the future.
No one is not afraid of such an opponent!
Thomas Rockefeller said: "os, the second round of negotiations is over! The two sides will discuss it separately, and the third round of negotiations will be held tomorrow morning!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded: "Okay, then do as you said!"
Having said that, Li Zetian stood up, Dongfang Yuqin and others also stood up, and then left Apple together.
On the way back, Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile, "Mr.li, you are so famous, they are all scared when they hear that you are going to build a personal computer company!"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Oh, Dongfang Yuqin, when did you learn to flatter yourself?"
"I'm not flattering, I'm telling the truth!" Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said, "In the third round of negotiations, 80% of them will agree to our acquisition conditions! Oh, we bought Apple for $1.5 billion, definitely It will shock the world!"
Li Zetian smiled and didn't say anything. In fact, as long as he returned to Apple, it would be enough to make a sensation in the world, wouldn't it
…
The next day, the sun was shining and the weather was very good.
Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin came to Apple again.
After entering the conference room, Li Zetian took the lead and said, "How did you think about the conditions I proposed yesterday?"
Thomas Rockefeller said: "$1.5 billion is really too little. We both give in. How about $1.8 billion?"
"$1.8 billion?"
Li Zetian pondered and tapped the table with his right finger rhythmically.
bang bang bang...
The voice was disturbing.
Li Zetian said solemnly: "1.6 billion US dollars, I can accept it! If there is more, I would rather create my own company."
Thomas Rockefeller looked at the other directors with inquiring eyes at this time. Everyone thought for a while and nodded.
Tos, the conditions you put forward, we agreed! "Thomas Rockefeller turned to look at Li Zetian and said.
Li Zetian was happy for a while, but he didn't show any signs of joy, he still smiled lightly: "If that's the case, then sign the contract as soon as possible! The longer the delay, the more detrimental it is for Apple."
"Then today!"
"it is good!"
At the moment, the two sides began to draft documents, and half an hour later, the two sides formally signed the agreement.
Li Zetian lowered his head and stared at the contract, filled with emotion.
"Apple is finally back in my hands!!!"
However, Apple is now in a mess, and it is not so simple to restore its former glory.
On the day the agreement was signed, Apple held a press conference. Li Zetian, Thomas Rockefeller and others attended the press conference.
In fact, the outside world knows that Li Zetian is negotiating with Apple.
Apple suddenly held a press conference at this time, and there must be a major event. The media and the industry paid attention to the press conference for the first time.
At the press conference, Li Zetian sat in the middle.
Media reporters turned their cameras on him.
Ka Ka Ka!
The flash keeps flashing, it's fucking dazzling!
"Welcome everyone to Apple's press conference, today's conference has only one content..." Apple eo Vincent Guy paused deliberately, then said, "Mr. os·li has reached an agreement with the Apple board of directors , spent $1.6 billion to fully acquire Apple! Yes, that's right, mr·li will return to Apple!!!"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was sensational, the applause was like a wave, and the wave was higher than the wave!
"Please mr.li speak below!"
Li Zetian picked up the microphone on the table and said slowly, "I don't have anything to say, I just want to tell everyone that when I come back, Apple will make the whole world tremble!!!"
As soon as the voice fell, the audience was in an uproar!
This confidence is simply too burning, too dangling!
I'm back, and Apple will make the world tremble! ! !
Oh, who else can do it but os·li? Who can have this confidence and self-confidence? !
Ka Ka Ka!
The flash was flashing desperately, and every pore of the reporters was excited.
This news is so sensational!
The newspaper will be out of stock tomorrow!
TV news ratings are sure to explode!
The reporters also wanted to interview Li Zetian and ask him how he could get Apple back, which had fallen into a trough.
Li Zetian smiled lightly: "You will know soon, please wait and see!"
At the press conference, reporters raised a lot of questions, but Li Zetian basically prevaricates the past, never saying how to reorganize Apple's plan. Once it is leaked, let the competitors be prepared!
"os·de At the beginning, the reason why Mrs. Li sold most of Apple's shares was to cooperate with IBM. Now, you have bought Apple again. Don't you worry that IBM cancels its cooperation with Microsoft and inte1. cooperation?"
This question is very sensitive.
Li Zetian thought about it for a while and then answered. In fact, Microsoft and inte1 are already very strong now, but if they can still hold their thighs, they should continue to hold them as much as possible, thereby strengthening and consolidating their monopoly positions in their respective fields.
"Microsoft and inte1 are ibm's partners, and it will never change because of my acquisition of Apple. Whether it is Microsoft, inte1, or Apple, they are all independent operations! In short, I and ibm Relationships are both competitive and cooperative!”
In fact, ibm has realized the importance of microsoft and inte1 to personal computers, and has also opened its own operating system and processor, which seems to have a competitive relationship with microsoft and inte1, but... ibm's own operating system and Processors are not very popular, so in order to expand their personal computer market share, Microsoft and inte1 are still largely inseparable.
After the press conference, it caused a global shock.
Companies such as ibm, hp, Compaq, dore, and Sony are facing great enemies one after another!
ps: I have been busy in the past two days and I am very tired, so the update is less and late, but it will be restored from tomorrow, and the goal will be 30,000 words tomorrow!
