At night, the house is finally not so deserted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Yu Jingqiu and Li Zetian talked, telling him in detail about the events of these years, although some things had actually been said a long time ago.

On February 1, 1978, Intel (processor) company launched the world's first 16-bit microprocessor 8086, which shocked the industry, and IBM was silent in the personal computer market for a long time, aiming at this opportunity and immediately decided to develop a 16-bit personal computer. The microprocessor is naturally the product of the Intel (processor) company, and as for the operating system, the most suitable is the operating system of Microsoft. But because we are both the majority shareholder of Apple and Microsoft, IBM is reluctant to cooperate with Microsoft and intends to find another operating system company to work with. ā€

At this time, Bill Gates asked his mother, Mary Gates, to help. Mary Gates had a good relationship with IBM's top executives, and she talked to me for an afternoon and suggested that I sell most of my shares in Apple, otherwise IBM would never use Microsoft's operating system! I talked to you before, and you said that before the year 2000, Apple was worth tens of billions of dollars at most, while Microsoft could be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Although I don't understand why, I firmly believe that you are right, and I decided to sell most of Apple's shares. At the time, everyone thought I was crazy, but Microsoft got what they wanted, and IBM got their deal. When IBM launched the IBM5150, Apple was hit hard, and the Rockefeller consortium and the California consortium insisted on kicking me out, which actually had something to do with it!"

Li Zetian smiled: "You have done a great job, IBM's development of a 16-bit personal computer is bound to hit Apple hard, you can sell Apple shares at a high price, in fact, you make a lot of money." "Historically, after IBM released the personal computer, Apple was crushed into a dog and almost went bankrupt. Between Apple and Microsoft, Li Zetian will not hesitate to choose Microsoft. Apple's real awesomeness was when it developed the iPhone after the 21st century, and it was not even a tenth of its market value compared to Microsoft.

Yu Jingqiu continued: "After selling Apple, I have billions of dollars in my hands, and I have set my sights on the international pharmaceutical giant Roche Pharmaceutical......"

Li Zetian nodded, Roche Pharmaceutical Company is very awesome, the market value in the previous life was as high as more than 200 billion US dollars, and the profits of drugs are simply outrageous.

"I thought that firstly, Roche could bring huge profits, and secondly, I could mobilize Roche's R&D resources to develop new drugs for you, so I decided to buy it. It's just that the market value of Roche Pharmaceutical Company is very high, and I don't have enough funds at all, so I sold Sunbird, Netflix, and Panda Fast Food Company, and after raising enough funds, I successfully bought Roche Pharmaceutical Company, and I had some extra funds in hand, so I bought Mayo Clinic. However, the copyrights of the four games you developed, "Chinese Cube", "Pac-Man", "Donkey Kong" and "Super Arkanoid" have not been sold, and they still belong to us. ā€

"How's Sunbird doing?"

"It's so hot that the Atari 2600 has monopolized the market, and countless game studios and developers are rushing into the market and developing a lot of games for the Atari 2600 console. However, many of the engineers in charge of game production in new companies have no experience in games, and they are only thinking about 'making money', so they have to make a lot of shoddy games. Some of the games are amazingly bad! And in addition to the bad games, there are people who have started making and distributing games!"

"Does Sunbird Company not care?"

"Every time a game is sold, Sunbird can get a piece of revenue, where will they care! In the first half of this year alone, Sunbird's revenue has exceeded $2 billion!"

"Without a good game quality control mechanism, Sunbird has reached the end of the world. It is also a very wise choice for you to sell Sunbird Company at a high price, if you still hold shares, its value will inevitably shrink significantly!" Li Zetian patted Yu Jingqiu's hand and said with a smile, "The fall of a game empire will naturally lead to the rise of a new game empire!"

The era of the Atari 2600 has passed, and there are still FC red and white machines!! there are countless classic good games that have not yet been developed!

Yu Jingqiu was afraid that Li Zetian would be tired, so she didn't talk for long, and took a shower and went to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening.

The next day, Li Chengzhi and his wife took Zhou Qiqi to the United States, and Yu Jingshan also came to visit Li Zetian in advance.

Zhou Qiqi is now 10 years old, much taller, and when she saw Li Zetian, she cried excitedly.

Xiao Zhixuan has some gray hair on her head.

Li Chengzhi's face was haggard than before.

Everyone cried with joy, and stepped forward to hug Li Zetian.

"Son, it's great that you woke up!" Xiao Zhixuan cried.

Li Zetian wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Mom, don't cry, isn't I okay? ā€

The family is finally reunited, and they are happy.

For a period of time after that, Li Chengzhi and his wife stayed here to take care of Li Zetian. In less than a month, Li Zetian's body has almost recovered.

At this time, the outside media had already reported on Li Zetian's awakening.

Los Angeles Daily News: "Chronos-Li has been asleep for four years. The name of genius may not be continued!"

New York Daily News: "Chronos-Li's wife sold most of her shares, causing Apple to change hands, and now that Chronos-Li is back, what's going on for him?"

Video Games: "At the moment, Sunbird is the dominant company in the TV game industry, with annual revenues comparable to the income of the entire television network in the United States, and the company's founder, Chronos Li, is indebted to his wise leadership, which has made Sunbird what it is today. Now that Sunbird has been acquired by Warner Bros., I wonder what Warner Bros.'s attitude will be towards Chronos Li?"

Warner Bros. said, "The era of Chronos Li's reign has passed, and Warner Bros. will take Sunbird to higher heights!!"

At this moment, countless people are paying attention to Li Zetian's movements.

Li Zetian sold the remaining shares of Apple, leaving only one share.

This incident immediately caused a huge sensation and discussion in the United States, and people believed that this was a strong response from Li Zetian's dissatisfaction with the Rockefeller consortium and the California consortium driving his wife out of Apple's board of directors, and Apple's shares plummeted accordingly!

Just when the outside world was talking about it, Li Zetian officially launched an acquisition offer to Intel (memory) company!

Intel (memory) company has been hit hard by Japanese memory manufacturers, and the company is facing huge losses, and the company is in urgent need of transformation. Li Zetian's acquisition offer surprised them, and only then did they know that Intel (processor) company was actually bought by Li Zetian.

"With the release of IBM-PC, the future of microprocessors is bright, Intel (memory) has no other way out, and the merger with Intel (processor) is undoubtedly the best choice!!"

The company's management agreed.

A week later, Intel (Storage) and Intel (Processor) officially merged.

On November 7, Intel held a press conference.

Li Zetian appeared at the press conference, which was the first time he officially appeared in front of the public since he fell into a coma. On his left hand stood Intel CEO Andy Grove, and on his right hand stood Microsoft CEO Bill Gates......
