"Star Wars" is one of the most valuable IPs in the world. After the film was released, the box office exceeded 770 million US dollars, and Apple could make at least 100 million US dollars. This is only the box office revenue of "Star Wars", the real big one. Peripheral products, including video tapes, toys, games, brand licensing of various products, etc., can earn three or four billion dollars at least. And while "Star Wars" is popular all over the world, it will also promote Apple's Apple-ll personal computer and Walkman to the world, thus greatly expanding the company's popularity and establishing its brand image!
You know, this is the first Star Wars, and every sequel after that will bring huge benefits and influence.
If $9 million is used to develop technology, it may not be enough. The key is, don't be in a hurry, anyway, the technologies or products that will be popular in the past life have not been developed yet, Li Zetian can develop them sooner or later. Now that there is an opportunity to seize the "Star Wars" cash cow, it is natural to seize the opportunity! In addition, from the point of view of a businessman, if the Apple-ll personal computer still has value, it does not need to be updated immediately.
The current economic downturn in the United States, coupled with expensive computers, makes it difficult to popularize. If Apple just sells personal computers, its total operating income - cost - sales tax will not reach 100 million US dollars a year, and even in the next few years. This is the case! Only when hardware costs are reduced can personal computers become commonplace!
…
The next morning, the sky was dark and it was pouring rain!
On the way to work, Li Zetian saw a small yellow dog lying on the side of the road, shivering and drenched in soup. He looked very pitiful, and he was about to die of illness. Seeing this scene, Li Zetian's heart softened suddenly, he immediately stopped the car, then got out of the car and ran towards the little yellow dog.
"This should be a stray dog abandoned by its owner!"
Li Zetian shook his head and sighed, squatted down, and immediately picked it up.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to see a doctor!"
The little yellow dog was very well behaved, without barking or struggling, it seemed to know that Li Zetian was a good person.
Li Zetian carried it into the car, put it in the passenger seat, and then drove to the nearby pet hospital. Twenty minutes later, Li Zetian finally found a pet hospital!
Immediately, he walked quickly into the hospital with the little yellow dog in his arms.
The doctors and nurses at the pet hospital looked surprised, apparently recognizing Li Zetian as a young billionaire.
"Doctor, this dog is sick and needs immediate treatment!" Li Zetian exclaimed.
"Okay, please give me the dog!" A middle-aged woman in a white coat stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and said.
Li Zetian nodded and handed the little yellow dog to her.
"This is a stray dog..." said the middle-aged female veterinarian.
"It should be... I saw it was about to die on the road, so I brought it here!" Li Zetian replied.
"Looking at the appearance, it should be a Shiba Inu, also known as Shiba Inu. It is a medium-sized and the oldest dog. It is mainly distributed in RB, China, and the United States. The Chinese like to call this kind of dog a native dog, mainly for viewing. Home." The middle-aged female veterinarian said as she picked up the instrument to examine the little yellow dog.
The young female nurse brought Li Zetian a glass of water at this time.
Li Zetian sat on the sofa, took a sip of water, and asked, "Is this dog seriously ill?"
"It's okay, I have a cold, I should get an injection and it should be fine!"
"Well, that's fine!"
"Mr.li, this is a homeless stray dog, do you plan to adopt it?"
Yeah, should I adopt it or not
Li Zetian couldn't help but look at the little yellow dog. In fact, it is still very cute. It has a pair of pointed ears and a pair of sly little eyes. The hair on the back is light yellow, and the hair on the chest and thighs It is snow-white, with a well-proportioned body and strong limbs.
"Yes, I plan to adopt it!" Li Zetian said, he quite liked this Shiba Inu, and said in his heart that since he can meet him on the road, it is fate, and he lives alone and has a pet to accompany him. Fun in life!
"Because this is a stray dog, I suggest that it needs to be thoroughly checked and vaccinated!"
"No problem, just do as you said!" Li Zetian nodded.
The middle-aged female veterinarian nodded and took the little yellow dog for an examination. At the same time, she notified Li Zetian to come and pick up the dog three days later, so that the puppy could be cured here.
Li Zetian nodded in agreement, and then left the pet hospital.
Due to a delay on the road, when Li Zetian came to Apple, it was already 9:30 in the morning.
"Mr.li, do you want to ask Li Meisheng to come and see you?"
When Zhang Yan saw Li Zetian coming to the company, he immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Well, let's meet! Let him go to my office!"
"OK."
Li Zetian's clothes were wet, and when he came to the office, he changed into gray casual clothes.
At this moment, there were a few knocks on the door, and immediately, Zhang Yan walked in with Li Meisheng, "Mr. li, this is Li Meisheng, the head of Apple's headphone department!"
"Hello, Mrli!"
Li Meisheng stepped forward to say hello, and at the same time looked at Li Zetian carefully. Due to the success of Apple, the 18-year-old Li Zetian has become the pride of all Chinese Americans in the United States, almost comparable to Wang An!
"Sit down." Li Zetian smiled, showing an amiable expression, "Aren't you surprised that I made you the head of the headphone department?"
"Yes, I am really surprised!" Li Meisheng nodded.
"Actually, it's not difficult to understand, because I'm also a Chinese!" At this time, Li Zetian's voice began to become low, "The status of the Chinese in the United States is not high, I want to change all this! So far, I still remember when I When I applied to Harvard University on the first day, a senior asked me a question! He first asked me if I was RB, and then asked if I was Korean... He asked four or five times, but he didn't ask me Not Chinese, not Chinese! Maybe you can't imagine how angry I was at that time, I secretly told myself that I must achieve achievements that attract the attention of the whole world, and I must impress this senior, when he sees it again When looking at an unfamiliar Asian face, first ask if the other person is Chinese, not if the other person is RB!!!"
After listening to Li Zetian's words, Li Meisheng was as excited as if he had been beaten. He has been in the United States for many years, and the status of Chinese people in the United States is indeed not good. He feels this. At this moment, Li Zetian's inspirational story deeply inspired him and filled him with fighting spirit!
"Mr.li, you are not fighting alone. You have me, Tian Shuai, Zhang Yan, and thousands of Chinese compatriots! We are a whole!"
Li Zetian nodded, patted his shoulder, and said, "Yes, I'm not fighting alone! Li Meisheng, do you have the confidence to develop Apple's headphone department into the world's top headphone company?"
Li Meisheng was full of fighting spirit in his heart, thinking about it without thinking, and loudly replied: "Have confidence!"
"Well! Go to work!"
Li Meisheng responded and left the office immediately.
Li Zetian couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. He originally wanted to encourage Li Meisheng to work hard for Apple, but as he spoke, he felt that he had suddenly become an orator and a national leader. However, that is indeed what Li Zetian thought and wished...
