After Li Zetian's careful analysis, it is not the best time to go to a record company to cooperate now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info with a product is convincing. Of course, on the other hand, it's also to prevent record companies from stealing their ideas. Therefore, Li Zetian decided to find a way to acquire Dolby Laboratories first, and then assist the Walkman department in developing the Walkman Walkman.

At the moment, other personal computer companies have not developed computers with expansion slot function, Apple-ll personal computers are still selling well, and with the increase of expansion cards and third-party software, the monthly sales are about 80 million to 10,000 yuan, and the sales can be one or two million dollars. In this way, the net profit is almost four million dollars per month, and of course employee salaries and new technology development will be huge expenses. Still, minus that, Apple was able to save more than $2 million, provided that Apple didn't continue to build flagship stores or retail stores to expand......

Li Zetian feels that the expansion speed of flagship stores or retail stores does not need to be too fast, and it is easy to fall on the heels if the speed is too fast, first of all, the pressure on the capital chain, secondly, the lack of talent reserves, and finally the chaotic management.

It's not easy to create a good corporate identity, but it's easy to destroy it.

Li Zetian sat on the sofa in his office, his eyes looking at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Apple does not have enough money to buy Dolby Laboratories for the time being, and now it owes 10 million dollars in loans from First Intercontinental Bank.

It's just that as soon as the idea of early financing was generated, Li Zetian suddenly hesitated again, after Apple developed the Walkman, and then carried out financing, its market value will definitely rise sharply, and then the financing will be able to raise more funds, if the financing in advance will be cheaper for the Rockefeller family and other investors......

"Damn, do you want to go to the bank to borrow again?" Li Zetian smiled self-deprecatingly, it seemed that this was a good way. Apple-ll is selling well, and many banks are willing to give Apple loans. Besides, which big company doesn't have a little debt?

Li Zetian turned over and suddenly came to his senses, he was thinking about which bank to find, thinking about it, or decided to take care of his old customers, and still borrowed from the First Intercontinental Bank, after all, the First Intercontinental Bank had lent to Apple before, so that Apple could launch Apple-ll smoothly.

In the evening of the same day, Li Zetian convened a board meeting to discuss the loan, and Tian Shuai, Zhang Yan, Wozniak, and Jobs unanimously agreed with his decision. The Walkman Walkman is an epoch-making product, and the four of them were all amazed when they first saw the design of the Walkman!

Tian Shuai immediately concluded that the Walkman Walkman will become the third core product that can generate huge profits for Apple after Apple-ll personal computers!

Jobs already admires Lee at the moment.

Apple-l, Apple-ll, Mac, Walkman, all of them deeply shocked Jobs! He is now willing, even with a sense of admiration, to work at Li Zetian's Apple Company, even if he drives him away, he will not leave!

……

After the board of directors, Li Zetian called Bill Gates' grandfather, Mr. Maxwell, the executive director of First Intercontinental Bank, and said that Apple wanted to continue to lend $10 million.

Maxwell barely thought about it, and agreed without hesitation.

He said, "Chronos, is $10 million enough? If it's not enough, First Intercontinental Bank can provide Apple with $20 million or more!"

Li Zetian couldn't help but smile when he heard this, the bank is like this, the richer you are or the better you develop, the more desperate it is to give you a loan, even if you don't need it, it has to recommend it to you......

"Thank you, Mr. Maxwell, for your kindness, $10 million is enough. Li Zetian said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's good if it's enough......"

"Well, then I'll go to the bank tomorrow to go through the relevant procedures. ”

"Okay, no problem!"

Li Zetian ended the call, and then, he turned his head to look at Tian Shuai and said, "Tomorrow you can launch an acquisition offer to Dolby Laboratories!" Li Zetian suddenly paused when he said this, and then continued, "The purpose of this acquisition of Dolby Laboratories is to obtain technology and a controlling stake in the company, Dolby Laboratories is a company dedicated to technology development, patents and technology licensing, so the company's talent is the most important, especially the company's founder, Dr. Dolby. If he wants to keep a part of the shares, then, as long as it doesn't affect our holdings, that's no problem!"

"Okay, I got it. Tian Shuai nodded in response.

……

In the evening, the setting sun stained the sky red, as if draped the earth in a golden veil.

Li Zetian opened the hood of the Rolls-Royce dangerous road and drove on the way home, the wind in his ears was whistling, and the fragrance of flowers came from the fields in the suburbs. The sunset was picturesque, and Li Zetian's mood was also very comfortable, he was humming a small tune while driving quickly.

When he got home, Li Zetian made himself a dinner to eat, and then read the news, especially news related to the computer industry. Although Li Zetian has been here since 2016, the butterfly effect may change many things, so he can easily deal with any emergencies by understanding current affairs and the current development of computers.

At this time, a piece of news caught his attention.

Xerox's Metcalfe and his assistants published an article entitled, "Ethernet: A Famous Essay on Distributed Packet Switching for Local Area Networks." It is written that while working at Xerox-PARC (Xerox Parker Research Center), Metcalfe invented Ethernet, a standard that allows computers to communicate with each other at short moments......

As soon as Li Zetian saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

People who study computers must know a lot about Ethernet, Li Zetian vaguely remembers Metcalfe, and in his impression, he finally left Xerox and established 3Com, a manufacturer of computer network equipment, which was initially engaged in the development of Ethernet adapters, and was also the first company in the world to commercialize the development of local area networks. With an Ethernet adapter, the computer can be connected to the Ethernet network to form a local area network, which is very useful for many enterprises. In addition, games have begun to transform from single-player games to LAN games.

If Apple's computer is equipped with an Ethernet adapter, it must be another big selling point! Of course, this thing is also expensive, when 3Com first launched the Ethernet adapter, it cost more than 900 dollars each, obviously, the profit is outrageously high. Thanks to the popularity of Ethernet adapters, 3Com has gradually become a large international company and one of Cisco's strongest competitors!

However, the first prerequisite for Ethernet adapters to be commercialized is that Ethernet can become an industry standard.

Needless to say, Ethernet belongs to Xerox Xerox, which is already the industry standard.

Xerox is a very powerful company in the United States, and it invented many things such as graphical interfaces, mice, copiers, laser printers, Ethernet, etc.

In 1979, the Ethernet standard was jointly developed by Xerox, Intel and DEC, which laid the foundation for the most common communication protocol for LAN in the future.

The advantages of these three companies working together are obvious: Xerox provides the technology, DEC has a strong technical force, and is a strong supplier of Ethernet hardware, and Intel provides the Ethernet chip building blocks.

Li Zetian stared at the newspaper for a long time, and said in his heart: "How can I intervene in such an important thing?"
