Li Zetian left the Johnson & Johnson family a week to think about it. In fact, they gave in within 3 days.
The Johnson & Johnson family has borrowed a lot of money from banks and other financial institutions or individuals in order to buy shares. If the gene technology company does not pay dividends, they will not be able to repay the loan at all.
Li Zetian made a calculation at this time. He bought Johnson & Johnson with a total capital of less than 8 billion US dollars.
Before that, Johnson & Johnson also kept saying that it would take 18 billion US dollars to sell.
Li Zetian couldn't help but sigh that he had good luck, just when Johnson & Johnson encountered a huge crisis, and thus found a bargain.
Buying Johnson & Johnson for $8 billion is incredible!
Just made a lot of money!
Li Zetian even felt excited to sleep!
Since its establishment, Johnson & Johnson has never lost money, and its performance has been very stable. Moreover, it is no worse than Internet companies, with a serious bubble, and its market value can easily fall from the top of the cloud to the bottom. Johnson & Johnson's products are real, and everyone can't do without care products, medical devices and drugs!
Li Zetian can't imagine what kind of powerful company the gene technology company, which consists of dozens of companies such as Roche Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson, Genentech, Amgen and so on, will grow into, but he knows that the gene technology company It can change the world, save human diseases, and create unparalleled wealth! ! !
At this moment, the industry has been shocked to the point of incomparable, countless people envy Li Zetian for swallowing up Johnson & Johnson so easily, and only spent less than 8 billion US dollars.
At present, the gene technology company is integrating talents and technologies and optimizing resources. After doing this, the gene technology company will be much stronger than it is now.
This year is 1982, and there will be time in the future to develop shocking drugs!
Artificial intelligence and biotechnology are inextricably linked. What is the difference between the human brain and artificial intelligence? These are topics for future research.
"If you want to do good work, you must first sharpen your tools. If you have a powerful supercomputer, you will be able to speed up scientific research!!!"
Li Zetian walked to the windowsill and looked out the window.
It was December, and the snow was blowing outside the window. Yu Jingqiu stood behind him and put a black coat on Li Zetian, "It's snowing outside, it's cold, and you still have the window open! I don't know how to add an extra coat. "Yu Jingqiu blamed.
Li Zetian put her back in his arms and smiled, "It's alright, there is an air conditioner in the study, so it's warm!"
"Jingle Bell!"
The phone on the desk suddenly thought.
Li Zetian released Yu Jingqiu and walked over to answer the phone.
"Mr. Li, hello, I'm Jobs!"
"Well, hello, Jobs, do you have anything to do with me? Could it be that the CD-Walkman has been successfully developed?" Li Zetian said with a hint of excitement.
"Yes, the n Walkman has been successfully developed, and the Ant Factory is now working overtime! The company opened once and decided to hold a product launch on December 20, and then officially released it in the United States on Christmas Day on the 25th! Mr. Li , are you coming to the press conference?" Jobs asked.
"No! You can host the press conference!" Li Zetian shook his head.
"Well, okay, then I won't bother you, I hang up?"
"Um!"
After the two ended the call, Li Zetian sighed softly: "I just acquired Johnson & Johnson. I wanted to keep a low profile, but I never thought that Apple would soon release the CD-Walkman, so I can't keep a low profile at all~~"
Hearing the words, Yu Jingqiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You always keep a low profile in your mouth, but when have you seen a low profile!" she said.
"I'm already very low-key, okay!!!" Li Zetian shook his head, always insisting that he was very low-key.
"Well, you are low-key, but your company is not low-key at all. As far as I know, Microsoft will release the Windows 1.0 operating system in early January next year, and then prepare to go public!" Yu Jingqiu laughed.
Li Zetian smiled helplessly: "The company is developing well, what can I do! Microsoft has become the world's most profitable software development company with Excel spreadsheets, Word word processing software and Microsoft-DOS operating system. It's time to go public."
"This will be the first listed company under your name. How much do you estimate the market value of Microsoft will be?" Yu Jingqiu asked curiously.
"What is this?" Li Zetian thought for a while and said, "Wall Street's valuation of Microsoft is about $15 billion, but once it goes public, you know, investors are crazy, and the company's market value is usually higher than that of the Wall Street gang. Much more valuation! I reckon it could be over $20 billion!"
"$20 billion is so much!!!"
"A lot?" Li Zetian touched his forehead and didn't say much. Microsoft's market value may exceed 600 billion US dollars. I dare not tell you, for fear of scaring you! The development of personal computers in this life is much faster than in the previous life, plus two killer soft armors Excel and Word, and an operating system that dominates the rivers and lakes, Microsoft's market value is so high, it is no exception.
Li Zetian poured two glasses of juice, handed one to her, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe it, you'll know when the time comes. Let's not talk about this for now. Not long after we acquired Johnson & Johnson, many people envied us and secretly slandered us. I plan to During Christmas, we will go to orphanages, schools and hospitals to do charity activities, on the one hand, to send positive energy to the world, and on the other hand to let American citizens support us!"
Yu Jingqiu said happily: "Okay, let's also bring Xiao Youran along. Although she is still young, let her see the suffering and misfortune in the world since she was a child, and cultivate her love!"
"Um!"
Li Zetian nodded with a smile. He also hoped that his daughter would be a caring daughter, not a prodigal girl who showed off her wealth. I took her to do charity with her since she was a child, and she has been fascinated by her, and she will definitely be an amazing philanthropist in the future!
Li Zetian continued: "Jingqiu, you can arrange the charity itinerary. I don't have time for this. I have to go to Sun Microsystems and let them develop supercomputers! Computers; on the other hand, research on artificial intelligence also requires supercomputers, and I plan to build an artificial intelligence laboratory next year!”
Yu Jingqiu asked in surprise: "Can artificial intelligence be developed with current technology? Is it like a robot with self-awareness in a movie?"
Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Artificial intelligence is not what you think it is, it must have self-awareness to be called artificial intelligence! Artificial intelligence is a simulation of the information process of human consciousness and thinking. The study of how to make computers and software to complete the tasks that previously required human beings A job that can only be done with only human intelligence. For example, let a computer learn to play chess, which is artificial intelligence; another example is speech, image or text recognition, which is also artificial intelligence!
In short, artificial intelligence can do things beyond your imagination, you will know in the future!
"
"Oh!" Yu Jingqiu understood.
Li Zetian kissed her on the forehead and said, "Dear, I'm busy."
"Um."
Afterwards, Li Zetian went to Sun Microsystems, only half an hour's drive.
After coming to the company, Li Zetian explained his intention to Dr. Jim Clark.
Dr. Jim Clark thought for a while and said: "Sun has no experience in supercomputers for systems companies. If they develop their own, it will be a bit slow and it will be difficult to catch up with IBM. However, I know that there is one person who has made supercomputers better than IBM's. The company is even better!"
"who?"
"Seymour Clay!!!"
"Seymour Clay of Clay Research?"
"Mr. Li, you've heard of him too."
"Of course I've heard of it," Li Zetian said with a smile, and then he recalled and continued, "At first, he was controlling Data CDC. CDC also made supercomputers. At that time, IBM introduced the aggressive 360 supercomputer. Plan. Seymour Clay took more than 30 warriors into the deep forest of Wisconsin. For four whole springs and autumns, he declined all social contacts, and immersed himself in drawing drawings and making parts. Even famous academic groups awarded Seymour Clay awards , and he was reluctant to make public appearances. For this reason, Clayborn earned the nickname "The Hermit of the Jungle"
Hard work pays off!
In August 1963, CDC grabbed the IB6600. Its development cost was only 7 million US dollars, and the computing speed of the computer reached 3 million times per second. IBM was shocked, and Watson Jr. excitedly wrote in the memo: 'We are a large enterprise with abundant funds and personnel. It is difficult for me to understand that the IB research and development team has only 34 people in total, including a gatekeeper. . '
However, the contradiction between Seymour Cray and the company's top management gradually intensified. In 1972, he established his own business and established Cray Research Company. In the early days of the business, there were neither factories nor workers, and there was a lack of funds. He and a few assistants who followed him resolutely found a place to stay in the jungle, with a small workshop and more than 40 workers. Even so, in 1975, he developed the Cray-1, which became world-famous, reaching a speed of 240 million operations per second, equivalent to 40 times that of the IBM 370 computer!
However, with the rise of personal computers, mainframes and supercomputers received a certain cold shoulder, and life for Cray Research was not easy. "
"Mr. Li, you know so much about him!" Jim Clark was stunned, "However, Seymour Clay's talent in supercomputers is truly unparalleled, and he can be called "the best of supercomputers". "Father, if we can poach him and his entire team, it will be much easier for us to develop supercomputers!"
Li Zetian couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect Jim Clark to think of it with himself, "Sun Microsystems has already made some achievements in the field of high-performance computers, if it can acquire Cray Research, Sun Microsystems will be even more powerful!!! "
Dr. Jim Clark smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li, then I will make an offer for Cray Research later!"
"Um!"
…
Because of the existence of Li Zetian, the personal computer developed rapidly, and the Cray Research Company was much worse than the previous life.
Sun Microsystems threw out an olive branch, and Seymour Cray could not help but seriously consider it.
Right now, Cray Research is short on research and development funding, making it difficult to develop a more advanced supercomputer.
"Dr. Clark," he thought about it all night, and the next morning, said to the Sun Microsystems CEO on the phone, "if Sun Microsystems fully supports my development of supercomputers, I will accept the Sun Microsystems offer! "
Seymour Clay's dream was to develop supercomputers, as if he was born for them, in fact, his whole life. In the previous life, even the young Seymour Clay wanted to launch the final charge and start the SRC company, but unfortunately, bad luck suddenly came and he died in a car accident.
"No problem at all, Sun Microsystems is willing to fully support your supercomputer development!"
After the two sides reached a verbal agreement, they soon got together to continue the detailed discussions.
In the end, Sun Microsystems invested 350 million US dollars in Cray Research to obtain an absolute controlling stake in the company, holding 90% of the shares. The other 10% is held by Seymour Clay and his team.
"Mr. Clay, the original headquarters of Clay Research Corporation is too rudimentary. Please move to the Sun Systems Building as soon as possible. There are still many floors here that are vacant." After signing the contract, Dr. Jim Clark raised his head and smiled. to Seymour Clay.
"Well, okay, we'll move there as soon as possible!"
In the afternoon, the two sides held a press conference to announce that Sun Microsystems had acquired Cray Research.
After IBM heard the news, it was the most shocked!
Due to its excellent performance, Sun Microsystems' workstations not only have a place in workstations, but even reach out to the minicomputer market, which has already made IBM's hard work, and it has to grab supercomputers and mainframe computers, which is clearly at the head of IBM. Pull up XX!
IBM's executives were furious, but could not do anything about it. It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. How can IBM manage whether others can develop supercomputers
"Chronos · Li is against us everywhere, we can't continue to sit idly by, we must take measures to let him know how powerful IBM is!!!" IBM CEO Frank Cary frowned.
"Cary, what can you do?" a director asked.
Kari sneered: "In January next year, isn't Microsoft going to release the latest Windows 1.0 Windows operating system? Just to let him know how good we are. The operating system of IBM-PC personal computers will no longer be the same as Microsoft's operating system. Binding, we IBM also have an operating system, users can make their own choices!"
"Hehe, this is a good method. Let Chronos Li know that it is absolutely useless to fight against IBM!!"
"… "
So at 11 a.m. the next day, IBM held a press conference. Frank Cary announced at the press conference that Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Windows 1.0, was no longer bound to the IBM-PC, and users could only do it by themselves. Purchase, install the system.
As soon as the news came out, Microsoft was stunned. What is IBM doing
Bill Gates called IBM and asked what was going on.
Frank Cary said coldly and unabashedly: "Chronos li caused IBM a lot of losses, so the partnership between Microsoft and IBM is over!"
"Mr. Cary, even though Chronos has a feud with IBM, Microsoft and IBM have always cooperated well!"
"He is a major shareholder, so there is no way. Although I am familiar with your mother, I have to say sorry!!"
Say yes, and Frank Cary hangs up.
Bill Gates' face sank.
After thinking about it, he still called Li Zetian.
"Chronos, I'm Bill, did you see IBM's press conference this morning?"
"Look!"
"Frank Cary said that you were against IBM, and IBM suffered a lot, so he decided to give up his cooperation with Microsoft..."
IBM is involved in almost everything in the computer field, and most of them are industry giants.
Li Zetian expressed helplessness, as long as he is involved in the computer field, then no matter what he is doing, he has to compete with IBM, which is impossible.
"Maybe it has something to do with me, but it's not the most important factor. IBM has recognized the importance of personal computer operating systems, or it would not have developed its own operating system. This time, it is just a matter of giving up cooperation with Microsoft. Find a high-sounding excuse!"
Li Zetian paused and said, "It's just that IBM has decided to cancel the binding cooperation with Microsoft's operating system. You have to surrender to us too!!!”
PS: The update time is too late these days, I'm really sorry, the normal update tomorrow, 12 o'clock in the afternoon and 7 o'clock in the evening.
