It only takes more than $1 million to acquire Starbucks, which may have a market value of tens of billions of dollars in the future, where can such a business be found? Li Zetian is eager to raise money now to buy Starbucks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, he thought about it, after the Game-Watch went public, Sunbird would be able to draw up a lot of money......

"Seagate is a money-burning machine, most of Apple's funds are used for technology research and development, and it is a bit stretched to acquire a small company now......

Li Zetian muttered, shaking his head and sighing.

However, the good fortune that Li Zetian did not expect soon came.

On November 11, four men in suits and leather shoes came to Apple, identified as U.S. government officials, and said they would purchase 100,000 Apple-ll personal computers for office use. Later, the four went to Microsoft to buy 100,000 copies of Excel spreadsheets.

These are huge orders worth more than 200 million US dollars, and Li Zetian was deeply shocked by this big surprise.

In fact, since Apple-ll was launched, its excellent performance has been tested by the market, and it has long become a leader in the personal computer industry, and it is also the first choice for enterprises and government offices! However, Apple has never received a large order from the US government before. However, when Li Zetian obtained American citizenship, the big order came immediately. It seems that the identity of an American can still play a big role.

In Apple's CEO's office, Li Zetian and Tian Shuai were sitting on the sofa chatting about government orders.

Li Zetian said: "The U.S. government ordered 100,000 Apple-ll units at once, which just solved Apple's urgent need for a shortage of funds. However, we immediately expanded the factory, otherwise we would not be able to keep up!"

Tian Shuai suggested: "Taiwan's labor costs are low, the infrastructure is perfect, and the local government encourages high-tech development, so I think we can build an apple factory there!"

"Well, if it's a factory in Taiwan, it's really good. Since the outbreak of the first energy crisis in 1973, Taiwan's economy has faced the problem of transformation, and the direction of transformation can only be the development of high technology. After two years of exploration, Taiwan has finally decided to establish a science industrial park. In terms of location, Hsinchu became the best candidate for the cooperation of schools and research institutes, because it has an industrial technology research institute with industrial research and development as its main topic, and two famous universities: Tsinghua University (Taiwan) and Chiao Tung University. As we all know, the reason why Silicon Valley in the United States has achieved remarkable achievements is because it is close to Stanford University and other well-known universities, which are known as the heart of innovation in Silicon Valley!!" Li Zetian nodded in agreement and said.

He traveled from 2016 and has some understanding and admiration for Taiwan's achievements in future high-tech development, such as TSMC, UMC, MediaTek, and Creative in the semiconductor industry, HTC in the production of mobile phones, ASE and silicon products in packaging, AUO and Chimei in the development of optoelectronics, Acer and Asus in the production of computers, and Hon Hai Precision, the world giant engaged in electronic foundry services.

"I also propose to build a factory in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, the local government has provided a series of preferential conditions to promote the construction of the science and industrial park, first of all, tax incentives, science and industrial projects are exempted from profit-seeking enterprise income tax for five years, and secondly, it also provides a 2% bank interest rate low-interest loan to pay for the purchase of machinery and equipment and build factory facilities!" Tian Shuai said.

The interest rate on loans from US banks is as high as 5 percent, while the interest rate on loans from Taiwan is only 2 percent, and the difference is much greater! Coupled with the five-year tax exemption, it is no wonder that so many high-tech companies can be attracted to set up factories in Taiwan's Hsinchu Science and Technology Park.

In mid-November, the news that Apple had received a huge order from the U.S. government spread, causing a huge shock in the industry and making more manufacturers pay attention to personal computers.

The better Apple develops, the more red and angry Wang Lie becomes.

He came to Wang An's computer company and discussed with his father Wang An, "Dad, let's also enter the personal computer industry!"

Wang An was not big, with a pair of large-framed glasses, slightly bald, and frowned slightly after listening to Wang Lie's words. Regarding the grievances between Wang Lie and Li Zetian, Wang An actually learned some about it from other channels, so he thought that Wang Lie's suggestion was purely an irrational act of fighting for the wind and being jealous and fighting for victory!

"Are you so stupid? In addition to the government's order of 100,000 Apple-ll units, look at how many computers Apple only sells in a year? Is there 100,000 yuan? And our Wang An Computer Company can sell hundreds of thousands of Wang An word processors in a year!" Wang An reprimanded loudly, "If we enter the personal computer industry, then our competitor IBM will have an opportunity! Entering the personal computer industry is simply picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon !!."

Wang An Computer Company mainly produces small commercial computers, word processing machines, and other office automation equipment, and its profits are much higher than those of personal computers; although personal computers are showing a trend of wind and water, the market is too small, and Wang An disdains them! He believes that it will take at least 20 or 30 years for the popularization of personal computers to become popular, and it is better to develop commercial computers and word processing machines than to waste the company's manpower, material, and financial resources on the development of personal computers.

There is a saying that pride makes people lag behind!

The huge success of Wang An's word processor has made Wang An complacent, self-serving, as if he has lost his keen judgment.

Wang Lie was reprimanded by his father, and then he knew that he had almost made a "big mistake", so he couldn't help but quickly admit his mistake: "Dad, you are still thoughtful!"

At the same time, IBM held an emergency meeting, and the main content of the meeting revolved around personal computers!

The new CEO, Frank Carry, said with a heavy face: "Recently, it was reported that Apple has received an order from the government for 100,000 Apple-ll personal computers, worth more than $200 million. His eyes were like eagle eyes, looking around, and he said loudly in a surging tone, "Personal computers have become a development trend, and IBM can no longer sit still! From today, IBM has officially entered the personal computer!"

"It's long overdue to enter the PC market, we can't continue to watch another Chinese rise!"

"Yes, there was Wang An Computer Company before, and now there is Apple, and IBM's position has been greatly challenged!"

“……”

The people present spoke enthusiastically and supported IBM's entry into the personal computer market, which was in stark contrast to Wang An's computer company.

Although the key factor that shackles IBM's entry into the personal computer business is the antitrust law in the United States, which makes IBM do things, tiptoe, and look ahead, but at this moment, IBM is very determined!

The blessing of the evil is lurking, and the blessing of the evil is depending!

The U.S. government's order has made IBM more aware of the importance of personal computers! Now that the Big Mac is finally about to make a move, what will be the fate of Apple?

PS: It will be on the shelves next Friday, and now it will be kept two more times a day, and it will break out after it is put on the shelves.
