Internet companies were originally very cash-burning companies. Previously, investors favored and made almost crazy investments, which made these Internet companies continue. However, after the dot-com bubble burst, investors fled and avoided it, causing a large number of Internet companies to go bankrupt.
It can be said that the entire Internet market is sluggish, and there are very few companies that can survive the Internet winter.
Li Zetian is very relaxed, and he can be said to be the biggest winner in this Internet economic crisis. Now all he has to do is wait, wait for the stock prices of these Internet companies to drop to the lowest level, and then buy the bottom! ! !
Maybe not too long to wait...
Right now, Li Zetian has acquired many companies in Southeast Asia, is integrating resources and optimizing them, and is very busy. However, the biggest problem at present is that Li Zetian still has a lot of money on hand and has nowhere to spend.
In Li Zetian's view, putting money in the bank is the stupidest choice, so new investment projects need to be found.
However, for its own security, it is necessary to build a strong arms company. If Li Zetian has a powerful and unparalleled arms company, it can not only increase his influence in the world, but also make all countries in the world fear him. In addition, after the 9/11 incident in the United States, terrorists became rampant, and all of them were a group of desperadoes. If there were no high-tech weapons, Li Zetian would have no idea.
You must know that a trillion-dollar super-rich like him must be one of the primary targets of terrorists. Especially in this Internet economic crisis, Li Zetian has cashed out trillions of dollars. This is obvious to all, and it is impossible to hide it.
And so much money is enough to make terrorists take risks, even if the number of bodyguards around Li Zetian is very large, they can't restrain the other party's greed!
Therefore, Li Zetian was very anxious to develop more advanced high-tech weapons and equipment for bodyguards to protect himself and his family.
Of course, it is also necessary to strengthen the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, robots, energy, biological genes, and new materials.
In early August, Koronos Industries restructured and transferred its LCD division to Samsung. Samsung is a world-class company in the field of liquid crystal, and now it is a powerful combination with the addition of the liquid crystal sector of Chronos Industries.
From now on, Kronos Industries is an arms company.
Li Zetian intends to develop Chronos Industries into a Stark Arms Company similar to Iron Man, and it is best to develop Iron Man suits in the future.
There are many arms companies in the United States, but the top-ranked arms companies are related to national security, and their importance is self-evident, and Li Zetian is naturally not allowed to acquire them. Therefore, Li Zetian can only acquire arms companies with medium and low levels of strength.
Li Zetian has always been adhering to a principle, if you don't do it, you have to do your best!
Although they can only acquire low-level arms companies, as long as they poach people with high salaries and increase their R&D efforts, they will catch up in technology sooner or later. What's more, Li Zetian's acquisition target is not only limited to the United States, but to countries around the world. All arms companies with development potential are the acquisition targets of Li Zetian.
Cronos Industries is not an American company, but a large international arms company that supplies weapons to countries around the world.
Since August, Chronos Industries has been rushing to acquire acquisitions.
In just one month, seven small and medium arms companies were acquired at a cost of $24 billion.
The acquisition is just the beginning.
Li Zetian is a person who cherishes his life. Before, he did his best to invest in the development of gene technology companies. Now, in order to develop arms companies, it is naturally impossible to spend only 24 billion US dollars. The acquisition is in full swing. Companies from many military powers such as the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Israel have been acquired by Li Zetian. If they cannot acquire the other party's company, they will buy the other party's technology or high salary. Dig out the talent of the opponent.
Li Zetian couldn't believe it, he couldn't throw money into a powerful arms company!
Lockheed Martin in the United States is powerful. It is one of the top arms companies in the United States. However, its market value is only tens of billions of dollars.
…
"Acquiring an arms company is no better than acquiring other companies, and many countries have come forward to stop it!" Dongfang Yuqin sighed slightly.
On October 5th, after Koronos Industries successively acquired 19 small and medium-sized arms companies, European and American countries were afraid that Koronos Industries was too powerful, and they came forward to obstruct them one after another.
Li Zetian curled his lips, disdain for these countries.
However, since they came forward to stop it, Li Zetian did not plan to continue the acquisition.
"Yuqin, I think Space Exploration Company and Evolution Robot Company can be merged into Chronos Industries!" Li Zetian pondered, thinking, since you are preventing me from acquiring other companies, well, I will not acquire them, but I My own company, I can do whatever I want.
SpaceX and Evolver Robotics are high-tech companies, and many of the technologies involved can be used in the development of munitions.
Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said: "This idea is OK! The 19 small and medium-sized arms companies acquired by Chronos Industries are world-class in their own fields. When integrated, even if they are not as good as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other companies, they are still considered. It's the world's top arms company."
"The team of SpaceX comes from the Soviet Union, and it has always been a world leader in the aerospace field. The merger of Chronos Industries and SpaceX definitely does not belong to Lockheed Martin and Boeing."
"If you add the world's largest robot company, Cronos Industry is simply too powerful, and the future has infinite possibilities!!!"
After Dongfang Yuqin finished speaking, her eyes were full of yearning and anticipation.
Li Zetian also looked excited. Combining so many great companies and joining forces, I don't know what kind of magical sparks will collide! !
"Success!!! Just follow the idea I just said, let's get a super awesome arms company out!!!"
"Okay!" Dongfang Yuqin replied with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, Colt has sent you a gift!" Dongfang Yuqin said suddenly, and immediately pulled out a beautifully packaged box under the cabinet.
Colt is one of the 19 arms companies acquired by Chronos Industries, mainly producing small arms.
In fact, Colt is a well-known firearms company in the United States. It has been a household name since the American Civil War. Among them, the Colt pistol is the most famous firearm in the late 19th century. In the more than 100 years since its inception, there have been as many as 30 million revolvers, rifles and other weapons produced under the name of Colt. , no other weapons company can match.
However, the threshold of light weapons is much lower than that of heavy weapons. Colt has many competitors, and now it has lost its former glory. In 1984, the US military's decision to withdraw the M1911A1 pistol gave Colt a surprise blow. In 1988, Colt lost another contract to the U.S. government to order the M16 rifle, which was a catastrophic blow for the company.
According to Li Zetian, on the evening of June 14, 2015, Colt announced that the company was filing for bankruptcy protection.
As the so-called "thin camel is bigger than a horse", Colt is still a world-class light weapons manufacturing company, and it has such a glorious history, so Li Zetian chose to buy it. Li Zetian believes that as long as the investment is increased, more advanced weapons can be developed. At that time, the employees of Umbrella International Security Company can be equipped with guns produced by their own company, which saves a lot of costs.
"Looking at the size of this box, I guess that Colt should have given me a pistol!" Li Zetian said with a smile, while opening the box.
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and did not speak, but from her expression, she was already sure of Li Zetian's guess.
Soon, a classic Colt M1911 pistol appeared.
Dongfang Yuqin introduced: "The M1911 pistol was designed by Browning in 1905 and is the most famous pistol in the world. Once launched, it immediately became the standard pistol of the U.S. military, and it has been maintained for 74 years (1911 to 1985). Experienced World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War, it is the automatic pistol with the largest cumulative output in history! Your M1911 pistol is one of the first M1911 pistols produced by Colt that year. It is very Collectible!"
After a pause, Dongfang Yuqin said, "I heard that someone outside is willing to spend $80,000 to buy an M1911 pistol."
Li Zetian nodded and picked up the M1911, feeling very good.
"It's a very nice gift, I like it very much!" Li Zetian put the M1911 pistol in a glass case and used it as a display to decorate his study. As for the bullets, they were kept in a drawer of a wooden cabinet. Keep guns and bullets separate for safety. William likes to play with guns, he is not allowed to steal guns from him to play with...
Next, SpaceX and Evolver Robotics merged into Cronos Industries, becoming two divisions of Cronos Industries: Space-X and Robot-X.
Cronos Industries began to build larger branches, laboratories and factories around the world and pooled the resources of the various companies. From fighting individually to fighting together, the total development!
Of course, the process is a bit long.
Soon, or in a blink of an eye, it will be the end of the year.
In the living room, Dongfang Yuqin arranged a document for Li Zetian, which was all Li Zetian's property.
Li Zetian took a look and handed the information to Yu Jingqiu.
After reading it, Yu Jingqiu's face was full of shock: "So many companies!!!"
Li Zetian smiled and said: "Who made us have more money?! You know, money makes money, and we have invested in a lot of companies!"
After a pause, Li Zetian laughed and said: "I want the whole universe to know that the entire earth is contracted by our family!!!"
Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin were speechless.
"Okay, just kidding!" Li Zetian took back his cynical expression and said solemnly, "There are so many companies now, and the management is very chaotic. I have an idea to carry out a major organizational reform of the company, and the company Streamlined and integrated into more than ten departments: energy, biology, medical care, food, electronics, networking, artificial intelligence, finance, daily chemicals, arms, etc.... Koronos Industries is an example, integrating multiple companies into one company , resource optimization, higher efficiency!"
Dongfang Yuqin nodded and agreed: "Well, I support this very much. In addition, I suggest that those companies with low technical content, low profits, or even losses can be sold!"
"Well," Li Zetian touched his chin and pondered: "There are many problems involved in the company's reform, so there is no rush. Yuqin, please let our think tank team come up with a feasible plan first!"
"OK."
