Chapter 438: Apple Generation Machine
Regarding the origin of the child, Su Mu only knew that it was artificial insemination, found a donor from the sperm bank, and artificially inseminated to give birth to a child.
What's even more tragic is that she has Chinese ancestry, so that the appearance of the children is biased towards Chinese, if he hadn't sworn repeatedly, even Lily would have almost believed the media's inference, let alone other people.
Whether it was Kate's explanation or Su Mu's explanation, the majority of the people didn't believe it, and they couldn't say it, but fortunately, after this matter made a fuss for a while, no one continued to pay attention to it, and it passed in a daze.
This year is the last year of the beginning of "1", and there are still more than eight months to go, and the beginning of the Common Era will become "2", and recently there have been inexplicable rumors that the world will be destroyed this year, and many people are convinced of this.
Whether the world will be destroyed, Su Mu doesn't know, but he has been having a good time recently, for example, today, after the opening of the NASDAQ stock exchange, the stock prices of his companies ushered in a sharp rise, mainly stimulated by the good news in the first quarter of this year, and the large companies in Silicon Valley led the overall rise in the section, and in just five minutes after the opening of New York, Su Mu's book wealth increased by more than one billion dollars again.
Under the leadership of President Bill Clinton, the U.S. economy has been doing well in the past two years, and global wealth has grown, but 80 percent of the wealth has gone into the pockets of the 20 percent of the population at the top of the pyramid.
In the process of economic globalization, the ability of capital to flow across borders is getting stronger and stronger, and it can abandon its own support and flow to countries or regions with cheap labor, which can not only blackmail the country to reduce the tax rate in order to retain capital and introduce preferential policies, but also bargain with other countries, whether it is its own country or other countries, at the expense of the interests of laborers, thus further aggravating the gap between the rich and the poor.
Taking Germany as an example, the proportion of tax revenue in the national tax revenue of the German stock division fell from 9.5 percent in 1960 to 3.8 percent in 1998, while the proportion of tax on wage income rose from 12 percent to 28 percent.
The same is almost the same in the United States, which shows that the wealthy who start a company have lowered their taxes, while the ordinary middle and upper class with average financial conditions are forced to pay high income tax because of the lack of financial funds in the country.
For example, the average tax paid by all companies in the Galaxy Group is less than 3 percent, and sometimes after the reduction, the official has to pay the money backwards, and those employees who work in the company have no way to avoid personal income tax, and in the long run, it has developed to this day, so that wealth continues to transfer to the wealthy.
In the 70s, when his personal wealth reached more than 10 or 2 billion US dollars, he could sit on the position of the richest man in the world, and in the early 80s, this number increased to more than 10 billion US dollars, and in the early 90s, Su Mu was re-elected as the world's richest man with a wealth of more than 40 billion US dollars until today.
What's even more terrifying is that his approach is fully in line with American law, and if you look at which class of the world is in the hands of you, you will understand why such problems arise, and many countries have tacitly accepted that the rich who can create more jobs can legally exploit loopholes and pay less taxes, mainly because they are afraid that the rich will flee their countries en masse.
Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's wealth was obtained through the economic bubble and was not recognized by Forbes magazine, so can some people say that if their house is worth $1 trillion, then they really have a wealth of $1 trillion? It is precisely because of this reason that, after being revised, Su Mu has become the lucky person whose personal wealth has exceeded the $50 billion mark for the first time in human history, and there is no possibility of being surpassed in the short term.
Penguin Apple, Oracle, SUN, Microsoft, Intel and other companies have clear enough profit prospects, limited development potential, and OO, Bee, Maple Leaf Shopping and other Internet industries, have shown full growth potential in the near future, their stock prices have risen, Su Mu's net worth has also risen, and quickly returned to the market value before the emergence of the Internet bubble, and it is a cut higher, he really chose the wrong industry......
After breakfast, and then hand-fed her daughter, Lily will take Christina to the French wine estate later, and accompany her parents on vacation for about a week.
Today is a big day, the smart phone that cost a lot of money has been drummed out, and the product launch conference will be held on time at ten o'clock today, patent authorization from companies such as Motorola and Siemens, and the purchase of specially customized parts from more than 20 companies, plus some parts provided by companies such as AMD-ATI and other companies that he owns, and put together a product that does not satisfy him, but is ahead of his peers in this era - Apple's generation of mobile phone "iPhone1".
The word "iPhone" is not his original, I once heard it in the old radio station, and I didn't think of a better name for a while, so it was determined, the processor, BOS mobile phone operating system, LCD screen and other components are provided by his company, and the innovation is very high, but it has not yet broken through the style limitations of traditional mobile phones, and some functions seem chicken, such as some small games equipped inside.
Even Su Mu himself doesn't think it will succeed, it can only be regarded as an attempt at future mobile phones, and how much can consumers expect from it?
Last year's promulgation of the wireless application protocol (AP) function, it was the first to adopt, which means that the application of AP standard wireless communication equipment, can access the Internet, including sending and receiving e-mail, querying information and visiting websites, etc., Su Mu's Apple mobile phone company is one of the protocol makers, won many patents in advance, it can be said that this standard was born under his leadership.
It seems to be a very attractive function, but it is covered up by the disadvantages of ultra-slow network speed, high price, shortened battery life, etc., he didn't plan to make money with this phone, long-term profit is what Su Mu values, with a patent, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money in the future.
When the Ferrari supercar stopped in front of the company, as he expected, the number of reporters and spectators was not large, and people still think that mobile phones are just mobile phones, and even if mobile phones can access the Internet in the future, the experience will be extremely bad.
When he met Chin Helberg, CEO of Galaxy Group, he dozed off and asked, "How many media outlets are here?"
"Not much, just about sixty. ”
Based on the usual data, this number is indeed quite small today......
