"Mr. Li, Wang An Computer Company is going to die!"
At about 11:30 in the morning on October 12, Dongfang Yuqin walked into Li Zetian's study and said.
Li Zetian was slightly surprised, but this was expected. Li Zetian was just a little emotional. In the United States, Wang An created a legend, and he and Li Zetian were called the two heroes of the Chinese business community in the United States! However, in the mid-1980s, Wang An Computer Company collapsed.
Dongfang Yuqin said slowly: "Wang An Computer Company has also begun to realize the rise of personal computers, and Wang Lie, Wang An's son, has formulated a personal computer development project after taking over the company. However, because it is not compatible with the IBM-PC standard , the result was a big defeat. When Wang An Computer Company was ready to make changes, 32 personal computers were born, and Wang An Computer Company failed to keep up. Now, bankruptcy is imminent!"
"Hehe, Wang An is arrogant and arrogant, and Wang Lie is mediocre. How could Wang An Computer Company not go bankrupt in the hands of their father and son? However, Wang An Computer Company has a lot of background and a lot of talents. Send someone to take over!"
With a hint of contempt in Li Zetian's tone, he suddenly remembered that Wang An had said that Wang An's computer company's turnover exceeded 3 billion US dollars and must not go bankrupt. However, within a few years, Wang An Computer was reduced to such a situation!
"Okay!" Dongfang Yuqin smiled, as if she already knew Li Zetian's decision. She picked up the phone and immediately ordered someone to buy Wang An Computer Company.
Li Zetian's eyes narrowed slightly. The bankruptcy of Wang An Computer Company gave him a wake-up call. The company that seems to be awesome now, once the company's leadership makes a mistake, it is likely to cause the company to go bankrupt in the future.
"Bill Gates in the previous life is right, the company is always only 18 months away from bankruptcy..." Li Zetian thought to himself. He couldn't help but start looking at the businesses under his own name and found that most of them were doing very well. Excellent professional managers, coupled with their grasp of the future trend, have achieved such success! However, once the memory in his mind runs out, perhaps by then, the company's development direction will be at a loss...
Wang An Computer Company is not a small company. It was a very brilliant company in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Its word processors and minicomputers were very popular, especially Wang An word processors, which defeated IBM and monopolized it. More than 60% of the global market, even the word processors used by the White House in the United States are products of Wang An Computer Company. How is it not shocking that such a Chinese-founded company exists in a white-dominated America? !
Wang An himself was not only in the American Inventors Hall of Fame, but his wealth at his peak even made him one of the top ten richest people in the United States. Even US President Ronald Reagan personally awarded him the highest civilian honor in the United States - the "US Presidential Medal of Freedom". "!
Right now, such a legendary enterprise suddenly filed for bankruptcy in the court, causing an uproar in the media and business circles!
At this moment, in the office of the CEO of Wang An Computer Company, Wang An and Wang Lie looked at each other, silent, and there was a sense of despair in the air.
"dad!!!"
Wang Lie was speechless as he looked at his elderly father with white hair and a haggard face.
"I don't blame you..." Wang An sighed, the wrinkles on his face were like ravines, full of frustration and remorse. He supported his forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "If Wang An Computer Company could transform a few years earlier and not fight against IBM, maybe the company would not have gone bankrupt..."
At this time, Wang An finally realized that his original mistake was his pride, and he was invincible and ruined the entire company.
At this moment, Wang An suddenly remembered the only time he had met with Li Zetian, which is still fresh in his memory.
"Haha, I was arrogant at the time, I was self-righteous, I ignored the other party, and even asked Li Zetian with a very strong attitude to ask Microsoft and Intel not to cooperate with IBM, but to cooperate with Wang An Computer." Wang An said with a wry smile, "When I think about it, I was really stupid at the time, too self-aware. Today, the market value of Microsoft Corporation has exceeded 40 billion US dollars. On the other hand, Wang An Computer's market value is less than 2 billion US dollars, even others. Not one twentieth, it's ridiculous!"
Wang Lie was also full of thoughts at this moment, and he suddenly recalled his college days. At that time, he was the young master of the famous Wang An Computer Company, but Li Zetian was a poor and worthless ghost. But this poor ghost robbed his favorite woman, and then even founded Apple, and became the richest man in the world step by step, completely trampling him under his feet. This huge gap in heart made Wang Lie extremely unwilling.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a female secretary walked in.
"Chairman and CEO, I just received the news that Chronos Li has made a takeover offer to Wang An Computer Company!"
As soon as the secretary's voice fell, Wang Lie's face became very distorted in vain.
He, he is going to buy my company...
Wang An was much calmer. Seeing his son's face was so ugly, he knew that Li Zetian had a holiday with him. It didn't matter if someone else bought Wang An. Li Zetian came to buy Wang An computer company, and he couldn't accept it.
Wang An patted Wang Lie on the shoulder and sighed slightly: "As of now, we have no choice. If we don't talk to them, the bank will also split up Wang An Computer Company and auction it off, and there will be no more. Wang An Computer Company!"
After Wang An said this, it seemed that he suddenly aged 10 years.
A lifetime of hard work, wasted in vain.
Wang Lie said solemnly: "Dad, I can understand, I will negotiate with them."
"Um!!"
The old man nodded, then stood up slowly, preparing to leave the company and go to the hospital to recuperate. When he walked outside the building, he reluctantly looked back at the headquarters of Wang An's company, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "The era that belongs to Wang An has passed..."
With a deep sense of exhaustion, the old man got into the car.
…
Li Zetian sent someone to negotiate with Wang Lie, and when it was time to negotiate the contract, Li Zetian came forward.
Thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi.
The unruly Wang Lie in the past has now become an ostrich with his head down, and he doesn't even have the courage to look up at Li Zetian.
"Master Wang, I told you before that I will buy Wang An Computer Company sooner or later, but you still don't believe it. Sign it now!" Li Zetian said lightly.
Wang Lie's face changed for a while.
"humiliation!"
"How has my Wang family ever suffered such humiliation!"
After a while, Wang Lie reluctantly picked up the pen to sign.
Brush brush!
Quickly signing a contract, Li Zetian bought Wang An Computer for $1.5 billion, most of which was used to pay down debt. Wang An Computer Company is now full of debts and poor performance. Not many people are willing to take over it. Li Zetian sees that Wang An Company is a Chinese enterprise, plus the talents accumulated in the past, so he is willing to buy it. In addition, Li Zetian believes that with his golden hand, Wang An Computer Company can come back to life!
"The contract has been signed. From then on, Wang An Computer Company has nothing to do with your Wang family." Li Zetian handed the contract to Dongfang Yuqin and said lightly, "Therefore, I want to change the name of Wang An Computer Company."
When Wang Lie heard this, his face became very pale
Li Zetian glanced at him and said, "Young Master Wang, isn't it uncomfortable to see your face so embarrassed!"
The word "Wang An" of Wang An Computer Company is a kind of honor. Li Zetian wants to change its name. Is it tolerable? However, the company is completely owned by Li Zetian, and it is his right to change his name, so what else can he do
Wang Lie gritted his teeth and was furious in his heart.
Seeing Wang Lie's expression, Li Zetian felt very at ease. Li Zetian was not such a vengeful person at first, but he just couldn't get used to Wang Lie. Perhaps it was because Wang Lie once coveted Jingqiu and made bad things out of it, which made Li Zetian dislike him very much. In addition, the indomitable attitude of Wang An and his son also made Li Zetian very unhappy with them.
Forget it, looking at your pitiful appearance, I won't ridicule you anymore!
Li Zetian shook his head inwardly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, showing a smile, then stood up and left.
…
In a high-end villa in New York.
Li Zetian sat under the umbrella, drank frozen beer, and swam in the Oriental Yuqin outdoor pool.
"Mr. Li, Wang An Computer Company loses money every year. Do you have any brilliant ideas to turn around the profit and loss?" Dongfang Yuqin, tired of swimming, came to Li Zetian and sat down and asked casually.
"The mountain man has his own plan!" Li Zetian chuckled, "Kiss me and I'll tell you!"
"Hmph, I'm thinking of you, but you're trying to take advantage of me!" Said that, Dongfang Yuqin's Qiushui eyes rolled his eyes at him, but her sexy red lips moved up and kissed Li Zetian's mouth .
Li Zetian smiled proudly and pondered: "Wang An Computer Company needs to be transformed again! The electronic engineers and software engineers in the company are excellent talents, and the products developed are very good! In fact, in terms of product performance, Wang The PC developed by Ann Computer is more powerful than most PCs today, but because there is no third-party software support, the product simply cannot be sold!"
"You mean, let Wang An Computer Company develop a computer compatible with IBM-PC?"
"Well, that's right. The personal computer market is so big, Wang An Computer Company can definitely get a piece of the pie!"
Dongfang Yuqin nodded, indicating that he understood.
Li Zetian said at this time: "However, it is not enough to rely on personal computers alone. The company's products need to be diversified. Wang An Computer Company has accumulated a lot of technology and talents from the beginning of its establishment to the present. Since word processors are outdated, then Just develop printers! In view of Wang An Computer's strong development capabilities in electronic products, I think we can transform and develop home appliances, producing TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc... "
The reason why Li Zetian proposed the transformation and development of home appliances is because he knows that LCD TVs are the future development direction. Seizing this opportunity, Wang An Computer will become a leader in the home appliance industry!
Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said: "Well, you are right, it is really good to transform printers and home appliances. At present, the American home appliance market is occupied by Japanese electronic products, and there are few powerful American home appliance companies. This is our opportunity. Because American companies have local advantages over Japanese companies. In 1985, the United States signed the Plaza Accord, which is clearly suppressing Japanese products!”
Li Zetian took a sip of beer and said with a smile, "Oh, that's true."
