After Sprint got the funds from Li Zetian's loan, it was full of confidence and finally bought GTE for $4 billion before Christmas.

As soon as the news came out, it shook the industry, and Sprint Company was comparable to the seven little Bell companies in the local telephone business!

"From now on, Sprint can develop network access services!"

In the office of the CEO of Sprint, Li Zetian said solemnly, "Although the data transmission speed provided by the Galaxy-Model is only 2400bit/s, it is enough for computer users to use, such as browsing BBS, sending emails, playing MUD games, exchanging information, transferring files, etc. ”

MUD game is a general term for text online games, and it is also the earliest online game, without graphics, all composed of text and character paintings.

Right now, the Internet speed is like that, and it can only drive text, graphics, and video to death.

However, for the "turtles" who have not played online games at the moment, it is already very fun.

The Flamingo Company has developed a number of MUD games for this purpose, and they have all been very popular.

Li Zetian sometimes goes shopping when he is idle, but he can't stand letting a person from 2016 play the MUD game of the 80s.

The CEO of Sprint hurriedly replied, "Okay, Mr. · Li, I got it!"

"Hmm......" Li Zetian nodded, and then asked, "Has the submarine fiber optic cable been successfully built?"

"Yes, it has been successfully built, and Sprint is working with the Hong Kong Telephone Company to develop international long-distance telephone services as well as Internet network access services!"

The word "Internet" came from Li Zetian's mouth, and then spread in Sprint, and then to the outside world, becoming the new name of the Internet.

Li Zetian showed a hint of joy on his face, and he was very satisfied. Hong Kong will be connected to the Internet network so soon, much earlier than in previous lives.

"After the construction of the submarine fiber optic cable in Asia is completed, I think it is time to build a submarine fiber optic cable from the United States to Europe. Li Zetian said thoughtfully.

“Mr· Li, it is true that the submarine fiber optic cable in Europe needs to be built, but the company has just acquired GTE, and the funds are tight, maybe it should be delayed for a year!"

Li Zetian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the funds, I will inject capital into Sprint next year to start the project!"

After the dividends at the end of this year, Li Zetian was able to get a lot of money, but due to the crazy depreciation of the dollar, this money will shrink seriously if it is not spent.

The "Plaza Accord" is also fucked up enough!

By now, the dollar has lost almost 30% of its value.

That is, the original $100 is worth only $70.

Depend on!!!

However, Li Zetian still has a hint of happiness in his heart, he has invested a large amount of money in Japanese real estate, and now he has made a lot of money. In the future, sell the real estate for yen, and then exchange yen for dollars, wow, that can definitely be exchanged for a lot of dollars!

The CEO of Sprint Company saw that Li Zetian was so wealthy, so he didn't say anything, anyway, the construction of an undersea fiber optic cable to Europe would be beneficial to Sprint Company.

After Li Zetian finished explaining the matter, it was already noon, and Li Zetian ate something casually at a nearby restaurant. Dongfang Yuqin was not by his side, and went to discuss with Sandy Weir and Jamie Dimon about establishing an umbrella insurance company.

To establish an insurance company, you need an insurance license, and if you don't have it, acquiring an insurance company is naturally the fastest way, and there is a ready-made market and talent.

……

On the morning of December 20, Dongfang Yuqin returned to Li Zetian's house and told him that the umbrella insurance company had been built.

Li Zetian inquired a little, and then said no more.

Of course, the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and Li Zetian will let the company under his name help the employees to buy insurance from the umbrella insurance company~~

In the blink of an eye, another year will pass.

At the beginning of January 1986, the company's annual financial statements were sent to Li Zetian.

Dongfang Yuqin sorted it out, listed a table in order of revenue, and handed it to Li Zetian.

[Company Name] [Revenue] [Profit] [Market Capitalization] (Unit: US$100 million)

1. Genomics 514 84 1010

2. Flamingo 271 46 560

3. Apple 222 54 530

174 34 402

5. Microsoft 168 40 452

6. Disney 154 28 210

……

……

"The value is rising very quickly!" Li Zetian couldn't help but sigh after reading the form.

Dongfang Yuqin smiled slightly and joked: "Mr· Li, it's good that you bought Forbes Group a few years ago! Otherwise, if these data are released, it will frighten the children!"

Li Zetian couldn't help laughing: "Keep a low profile, show off your wealth and be envied!"

Indeed, since Forbes magazine first announced his wealth, Li Zetian hated it, and then decisively sent someone to buy it, and then every year, Li Zetian still occupies the position of the richest man in the world, but the assets have risen very slowly, and outsiders still think that Li Zetian's worth has not reached 200 billion US dollars. As everyone knows, it is already $450 billion!!

“Mr· Li, this dividend, the umbrella company got $7.15 billion. ”

Dongfang Yuqin reminded that she knew that the dollar had been depreciating, and Li Zetian would find a way to spend the money.

Li Zetian took a sip of apple juice and frowned slightly.

"This money has to be spent as soon as possible, or it will be devalued. Alas, I'm afraid I'm the richest man in the world who worries about how to spend money!" Li Zetian laughed at himself.

Dongfang Yuqin covered her mouth and chuckled, she had never seen Li Zetian so brain-hurting.

Li Zetian looked up at her and asked, "Dongfang Yuqin, what do you say I am doing with all this money?"

“Mr· Li, for corporate mergers and acquisitions, it's easy to spend this money!"

Thinking about it, I suddenly found that the money may not be enough...... Li Zetian's eyes lit up, he thought for a while, and said: "I have recently acquired several German companies, and I think that German companies are conscientious, down-to-earth, and attach importance to technological development, and I can't help but have a good impression of German companies!"

“Mr· Li, are you looking to buy a German company?"

"Well, that's right, like SAP, Bosch, Siemens, Bayer, BASF, BMW, ......"

After listening to what Li Zetian said, Dongfang Yuqin's sexy little mouth opened and could almost be stuffed into an egg.

SAP is okay to say, the business is similar to Oracle, but the scale is not large now, and it is easier to acquire it, as for other companies, it is not easy to acquire any of them.

"Take your time, anyway, they will all belong to me sooner or later! I want to buy the earth, every second and every second, and become the first person in history!" Li Zetian said jokingly, "Okay, let's play with you! This money will be used to develop the Internet first." However, it shouldn't cost much to acquire SAP, so you can send someone to communicate with SAP to see if they are willing to accept my investment as a shareholder!"

"Oh!"

Dongfang Yuqin's big eyes glanced at Li Zetian, and he stepped aside to make a phone call and arrange for someone to acquire SAP.

Li Zetian stood up, stretched, walked to the window, and looked at the sky. In fact, Li Zetian was not joking just now, he really wanted to win these companies. Physical technology is fundamental, and the Internet is a bit virtual.
