Chapter 307: Transformation!
“Mr· Li, Wang An Computer Company is going to fail!"
At about half past eleven in the morning on October 12, Dongfang Yuqin walked into Li Zetian's study and spoke.
Li Zetian was slightly surprised, but this was expected. Li Zetian was only a little emotional; In the United States, Wang An created a legend, and together with Li Zetian, he was called the Chinese in the American business circles! However, in the mid-80s, Wang An's computer company collapsed.
Dongfang Yuqin said slowly: "Wang An Computer Company has also begun to realize the rise of personal computers, and Wang Lie, the son of Wang An, has formulated a personal computer development project after taking over the company. It's just that because it is not compatible with the IBM-PC standard, the result is a big failure. When Wang An Computer Company was ready to make changes, 32-bit personal computers were born, and Wang An Computer Company did not keep up, and now, bankruptcy is imminent!"
"Hehe, Wang An is arrogant, Wang Lie is mediocre, Wang An Computer Company is in the hands of their father and son, how can it not go bankrupt? However, after all, Wang An Computer Company is full of heritage and has many talents, so send someone to take over!"
Li Zetian's tone was full of contempt, and he suddenly remembered that Wang An had said that Wang An's computer company had a turnover of more than 3 billion US dollars and must not go bankrupt. However, within a few years, Wang An's computer fell into 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's computer company.
Li Zetian's eyes narrowed slightly, the bankruptcy of Wang An Computer Company sounded a wake-up call for him, and now it seems that the company is awesome and coaxing, once the company's leadership makes a mistake in decision-making, it is likely to lead to the bankruptcy of the company in the future.
"Bill Gates in his previous life was right, the company is only 18 ......months away from bankruptcy," Li Zetian said secretly in his heart. He couldn't help but start looking at the businesses under his name and found that most of them were doing very well. Excellent professional managers and their own grasp of the general trend of the future have achieved such success! However, once the memories in their minds are exhausted, perhaps at that time, the direction of the company's development will be very confused......
Wang An Computer Company is not a small company, in the late 70s to the early 80s is a very brilliant enterprise, its products word processing machine, small computer are very popular, especially Wang An word processing machine, beating IBM, monopolizing more than 60% of the global market, even the word processing machine used by the White House in the United States is the product of Wang An Computer Company. In the white-dominated United States, how is it not shocking that there is such a company founded by Chinese?!
Wang An himself was not only inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame, but his peak wealth even made him one of the top ten richest people in the United States, and even US President Ronald Reagan personally awarded him the highest civilian honor in the United States - the "US Presidential Medal of Freedom"!
Now, such a legendary company has suddenly filed for bankruptcy with the court, causing an uproar in the media and business circles!
At this moment, in the CEO office 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 looked at his elderly father, who was full of white hair and haggard face, and was speechless.
"I don't blame you......" Wang An sighed, the wrinkles on his face were like ravines, full of frustration and remorse. He held his forehead and said in a hoarse voice: "If Wang An Computer Company could have transformed a few years earlier and not fought with IBM, maybe the company would not have gone bankrupt......
At this time, Wang An finally realized his original mistake, which was his pride, and he ruined the entire company.
Wang An suddenly remembered the only time he met Li Zetian, and he still remembers it vividly.
"Hehe, at that time, I was arrogant and came to the door, self-righteous, did not take the other party in my eyes, and even asked Li Zetian with an extremely tough attitude to ask Microsoft and Intel not to cooperate with IBM, but with Wang An Computer Company. Wang An smiled bitterly, "Come to think of it, I was really stupid and too self-conscious at that time." Today, Microsoft's market value has exceeded $40 billion, while Wang An's computer company has a market value of less than $2 billion, not even one-twentieth of others, which is ridiculous!"
Wang Lie was also full of thoughts at the moment, and 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 worthless poor 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 his heart made Wang Lie extremely unwilling.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and a female secretary walked in.
"Chairman and CEO, I just received the news that Chronos· Li made a takeover offer to Wang An Computer Company!"
As soon as the secretary's voice fell, Wang Lie's face became very distorted.
He, he's going to buy my company......
Wang An was much calmer, seeing his son's face so ugly, he knew that Li Zetian had a holiday with him, it didn't matter if others bought Wang An, Li Zetian came to buy Wang An Computer Company, he couldn't accept it.
Wang An patted Wang Lie's shoulder and sighed slightly: "So far, we have no choice. If you don't talk to them, then the bank will also split and auction off Wang An Computer Company, and there will be no Wang An Computer Company from now on!"
After Wang An said this, he seemed to suddenly age by 10 years.
A lifetime's hard work was in vain.
Wang Lie said in a deep voice: "Dad, I can understand, I will negotiate with them." ”
"Hmm!!"
The old man nodded, then slowly stood up, ready to leave the company and go to the hospital to recuperate. When he walked outside the building, he reluctantly glanced back at the headquarters of Wang An's company, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "The era that belongs to me Wang An has passed......
With a deep sense of exhaustion, the old man stepped into the car.
……
Li Zetian sent someone to negotiate with Wang Lie, and when it was time to negotiate the signing, Li Zetian came forward.
Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.
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.
"Young Master Wang, I told you before that sooner or later I would buy Wang An Computer Company, but you still don't believe it. Sign now!" Li Zetian said lightly
Wang Lie's face changed for a while.
"Humiliation!"
"How could my Wang family have suffered such humiliation!"
After half a ring, Wang Lie finally reluctantly picked up the pen and signed.
Brush Brush Brush!
Quickly signing the contract, Mr. Li bought Mr. Wang for $1.5 billion, most of which was used to pay off debts. Wang An Computer Company is now heavily in debt and has poor performance, and not many people are willing to take it over, so Li Zetian sees that Wang An Company is a Chinese enterprise, coupled with the talents accumulated before, so he is willing to buy it. In addition, Li Zetian believes that with his hand of gold, Wang An Computer Company can come back to life!
"The contract has been signed, and since then, Wang An Computer Company has nothing to do with your Wang family. Li Zetian casually 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 with his eyes 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, and Li Zetian wants to change his name, is it tolerable, but is it unbearable? However, the company completely belongs to Li Zetian, and it is naturally his right to change his name, and what can others do?
Wang Lie gritted his teeth, angry in his heart.
Li Zetian looked at Wang Lie's expression, and his heart was very comfortable. Li Zetian was not such a grudgeful person, but he was not used to Wang Lie. Maybe it was because Wang Lie once coveted Yu Jingqiu and made it bad, which made Li Zetian very disgusted with him. In addition, the attitude of Wang An's father and son at the beginning also made Li Zetian very unhappy with them.
Forget it, look at your pitiful appearance, I won't taunt you anymore!
Li Zetian shook his head in his heart, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, then stood up and left.
……
In a high-end villa in New York.
Li Zetian sat under a parasol, drinking a cold beer, and swimming in the open-air pool of Oriental Yuqin.
“Mr· Li, Wang An Computer Company is losing money every year, do you have any tricks to turn around your profits and losses?" Dongfang Yuqin was tired of swimming, so she came to Li Zetian and sat down beside her, and asked casually.
"Mountain people have their own tricks!" Li Zetian smiled, "Kiss me, I'll tell you!"
"Hmph, I'm thinking about you, but you're trying to take advantage of me!" Saying that, Dongfang Yuqin's Qiushui eyes rolled at him, but her sexy red lips leaned in and kissed Li Zetian's mouth.
Li Zetian smiled proudly and said in a deep voice: "Wang An Computer Company needs to transform again! The electronic engineers and software engineers in the company are all excellent talents, and the products developed are very good! In fact, in terms of product performance, the personal computers developed by Wang An Computer Company are more powerful than most of the current personal computers, but because there is no third-party software support, the products cannot be sold at all!"
"You mean, let Wang An Computer develop a computer compatible with IBM-PC?"
"Well, that's right. The personal computer market is so big, Wang An Computer Company can completely get a piece of the pie!"
Dongfang Yuqin nodded, indicating that she 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. In view of the strong development capabilities of Wang An Computer Company in electronic products, I think it can transform and develop home appliances, produce televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, and so on......
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, seize this opportunity, Wang An Computer Company will become a leader in the home appliance industry!
Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said, "Well, you're right, it's really good to transform printers and home appliances." At present, the U.S. home appliance market is occupied by Japanese electronics, and there are few powerful U.S. home appliance companies, which is an opportunity for us because U.S. companies have a local advantage over Japanese companies. In 1985, the United States signed the Plaza Accord, which was clearly suppressing Japanese products!"
Li Zetian took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's true." ”[.]
