A few days later, Dongfang Yuqin brought a document to Li Zetian.
"Mr·Li, this is a company that has made extraordinary achievements in the field of optics!" Dongfang Yuqin said, handing the document to Li Zetian.
"Um."
After taking a look at the information, the top one is Carl Zeiss.
Carl Zeiss is a global leader in optics and optoelectronics, providing products and services to customers in semiconductor technology, industrial optics, life sciences, medical, ophthalmology and optometry.
"Sure enough, Carl Zeiss came first!"
Li Zetian couldn't help but smile a little. Before Dongfang Yuqin gave the materials to himself, he usually sorted them so that he could see the most important companies.
In fact, even if the Oriental Yuqin is not sorted, Li Zetian will pay great attention to Carl Zeiss.
Many people know that when it comes to optics, Carl Zeiss is the first to recommend, especially the lens of Carl Zeiss, which is the world's first. Camera giants also use Carl Zeiss's lenses, and even ASML is worth 100 million US dollars. The above-mentioned peak technology "EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine" adopts the lens of Carl Zeiss! In the digital age, Sony, which was originally an optical layman, has transformed itself into one of the industry leaders in consumer-grade digital cameras thanks to the great help of Zeiss!
Since the end of World War II, Germany has been divided into two places: East Germany and West Germany.
Carl Zeiss has since then been divided into two companies: East Cai and West Cai.
East Germany was attached to the Soviet Union. In the early days, due to the arms competition between the Soviet Union and the United States, "Dong Cai" received many military orders from the Soviet Union and developed rapidly. However, with the beginning of the Cold War, "Dong Cai" declined. The products of "Xicai" are mainly for the commercial market, but they are developing better and better. In 1990, the two Germans merged, and Dongcai and Xicai also merged into one.
Li Zetian nodded and smiled at Dongfang Yuqin: "Well, Carl Zeiss is indeed a good company!"
Dongfang Yuqin said: "At the moment, Carl Zeiss is divided into two parts, the east and the west, which just gives us the opportunity! Once a scientific and cutting-edge enterprise like this is merged, it will definitely be greatly valued by the German government. At that time, it wants to acquire I'm afraid it won't be easy! Especially the current East German Carl Zeiss has lost the order from the Soviet Union, the transformation is not easy, and it is in a difficult time. If we go to buy it, the success rate should be very high! After winning the East German Carl Zeiss, then Going to plan West German Carl Zeiss, that's a lot easier!"
Li Zetian nodded, feeling that what Dongfang Yuqin said was very reasonable.
"Well, just do as you say!"
After finishing speaking, Li Zetian continued to read the information.
The second company is actually a German company. It seems that German companies are indeed world-class in the field of optics and industry.
"The TRUMPF Group was founded in 1923 as a machine shop and has now grown into a world leader in industrial machine tools, laser technology and electronics! Currently, the company has 1,500 employees and has created nearly 300 million DM The annual sales of..." Li Zetian said unhurriedly.
"Mr·Li, this company has great potential for development, especially the application of lasers to industrial manufacturing. The lasers produced are world-class! It's just that the current laser market is not large, so the sales data does not seem to be much." Dongfang Yuqin said.
It was only 1985, and the laser market was naturally small. Li Zetian understood it very well.
It should not cost much to acquire Trumpf Group now.
"The Trumpf Group is very good, not only has lasers, but also machine tools and CNC systems. It's very good! It's just right to expand the Evolution Robot Company!" Li Zetian said, "This company is also listed on the acquisition list!"
"OK!"
Li Zetian then took a few casual glances and put the documents on the table.
"You can't chew too much, so let's take care of these two companies first. It's almost noon later. After lunch, you and I will go to AOL. By the way, AOL, how is your investigation? "
Dongfang Yuqin showed a smile and said: "AOL is a small-scale company, originally called Control Video Company, this company can transfer game software to computers through telephone lines and provide online services. However, due to the performance of Not good, closed down. CEO Jim Kinsey started a new business with Steve Case on the basis of the original company. This is what is now AOL. In addition, I also follow your instructions, especially Investigated Steve Case and found that this guy is really different!"
Li Zetian asked with a smile, "Why is it different?"
Due to his limited energy, Li Zetian has been considering whether to acquire AOL or create a similar company on his own. If a company is established, it will naturally need people to take care of it, however, it will be hard to find. Steve Case is in the face of many competitors, since he can develop and expand AOL, it is natural to have its own advantages. It would be a lot easier to let him help him manage the company.
Dongfang Yuqin said: "The fledgling Steve Case actually doesn't know much about the market, and he is even more of a layman in computer technology. But he has a mantra: 'Keep in touch with users', which is also his guideline. Business philosophy. AOL has a fairly regular client called 'Condomore'. You might not believe it, but Steve Case drives to Condomo every week to secure his relationship with the company." After a pause, Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile, "As for Steve Case's perseverance, the CEO of Mango Computer must have a deep understanding..."
"Uh, you mean that he is harassed by Steve Case every day?" Li Zetian couldn't help laughing, "However, it can be seen that this person attaches great importance to customers and user experience, no wonder..." said At this, Li Zetian stopped, realizing that he could not speak out about the future.
Dongfang Yuqin blinked and studied, revealing doubts.
"Mr. Li, no wonder what?"
"nothing!"
Li Zetian waved his hand without explaining, stood up from his chair, made an excuse and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat!"
"Oh… "
Dongfang Yuqin responded and followed behind him.
…
…
For the company's development, AOL moved its headquarters to Los Angeles, California.
"Everyone, please pay attention, this afternoon, Chronos Li will come to our company to inspect in person, I hope you all act like the same!!!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Case, we are all very professional actors, don't worry!"
"Playing a company employee is our specialty, just wait and see!"
"… "
In the spacious and bright office hall, more than 50 people who looked like "white-collar workers" assured Steve Case.
Still, Steve Case was nervous.
If it is seen through, the cooperation will blow up.
AOL is small, with fewer than 15 employees, and even this "headquarters" is temporarily rented.
Jim Kinsey was also very helpless, and said to Steve Case: "Oh, there is no way, the other party wants to come to our company to inspect the strength of our company. If you see our company's employees, there are about ten people. , the company is also shabby. I am afraid it will leave a very bad impression on the other party, so that we have no chance to talk about cooperation! Don't worry, although these actors are all tricks, their acting skills are still ok."
