Internet companies are originally very money-burning companies, and there were investors who favored them and invested almost frantically, which made these Internet companies sustainable. However, after the dot-com bubble burst, investors fled and avoided it, causing a large number of internet companies to go bankrupt.

It can be said that the entire Internet market is sluggish, and there are very few companies that can survive the Internet winter.

Li Zetian is very relaxed and leisurely, which can be said to be the biggest winner in this Internet economic crisis. Now all he has to do is wait, wait for the stock prices of these Internet companies to drop to a minimum, and then buy the bottom!!

The wait may not be too long......

At present, Li Zetian has acquired many companies in Southeast Asia, and is integrating resources and optimizing them, and he is very busy. However, the biggest problem at present is that Li Zetian still has a lot of money on hand and has nowhere to spend.

In Li's view, putting money in the bank is the stupidest option, so he needs to look for new investment projects.

However, for the sake of their own security, it is necessary to build a strong arms company. If Li Zetian has a powerful and incomparable arms company, he can not only increase his influence in the world, but also make the world fearful of him. In addition, after the outbreak of the 911 incident in the United States, terrorists were slightly rampant, and all of them were a group of outlaws.

You must know that a trillion-dollar super-rich like him must be one of the primary targets of terrorists, especially in this Internet economic crisis, Li Zetian cashed out trillions of dollars, which is obvious to all, and it can't be hidden.

And so much money is enough for terrorists to take risks, even if the number of bodyguards around Li Zetian is very large, it can't suppress the greed of the other party!

Therefore, Li Zetian is very anxious to develop more advanced high-tech weapons and equipment for bodyguards to use to protect the safety of himself and his family.

Of course, it is also necessary to strengthen the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, energy, biological genes, new materials, etc.

At the beginning of August, Chronos Industrial reorganized and transferred its LCD division to Samsung. Samsung is already at the world's first-class level in the field of liquid crystal, and now it is a strong combination with the LCD sector of Chronos Industries.

From now on, Chronos Industries will be an arms company.

Li Zetian plans to develop Chronos Industries into a Stark Arms Company similar to Iron Man, and it is best to develop the Iron Man suit in the future.

There are a lot of arms companies in the United States, but the top-ranked arms companies are related to national security, and their importance is self-evident, so Li Zetian is naturally not allowed to buy them. Therefore, Li Zetian could only buy arms companies of the middle and lower grades.

Li Zetian has always adhered to a principle, if you don't do it, you have to do your best!

Although it can only acquire arms companies of the middle and lower grades, as long as they poach people with high salaries and increase research and development efforts, they will catch up technologically sooner or later. What's more, Li Zetian's acquisition target is not limited to the United States, but also to countries around the world. All arms companies with development potential are all targets of Li Zetian's acquisition.

Chronos Industries is not an American company, but a large international arms company that supplies weapons to countries around the world.

Since August, Chronos Industries has been acquiring in a hurry.

In just one month, seven small and medium-sized arms companies were acquired at a cost of $24 billion.

The acquisition is just the beginning.

Li Zetian is a person who cherishes his life, and he has done his best to invest in the development of gene technology companies before, and now in order to develop arms companies, it is naturally impossible to spend only $24 billion. The acquisition is in full swing, and the companies of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Israel and other military powers are all targeted by Li Zetian.

Li Zetian didn't believe it, he couldn't smash a powerful arms company if he threw money!

The Lockheed Martin Corporation of the United States is one of the top arms companies in the United States, but its market value is only a few tens of billions of dollars.

……

"The acquisition of arms companies is no different from the acquisition of other companies, and many countries have stepped forward to prevent it!" Dongfang Yuqin sighed slightly.

On October 5, after Chronos Industries acquired 19 small and medium-sized arms companies one after another, European and American countries were afraid that Chronos Industries was too strong, so they came forward to obstruct it.

The corners of Li Zetian's mouth twitched, and he was very disdainful of these countries.

However, since they came forward to stop it, Li Zetian did not plan to continue the acquisition.

"Yuqin, I think we can merge the Space Exploration Company and the Evolutionary Robotics Company into Chronos Industries!" Li Zetian pondered, thinking to himself, since you prevent me from acquiring other companies, well, I won't buy them, but my own company, I can do whatever I want.

SpaceX and Evolutionary Robotics are both high-tech companies, and many of the technologies involved can be used in the development of munitions weapons.

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said: "This idea is okay! The 19 small and medium-sized arms companies acquired by Chronos Industries are in a world-class position in their own fields, and when integrated, even if they are not as good as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other companies, they can be regarded as the world's top arms companies. ”

"SpaceX's team came from the Soviet Union and has always been a world leader in the aerospace field. The merger of Chronos Industries and SpaceX, which definitely does not belong to Lockheed Martin or Boeing. ”

"If you add the world's largest robotics company, Chronos Industries is simply too powerful, and the future has infinite possibilities!!"

After Dongfang Yuqin finished speaking, her eyes were full of yearning and expectation.

Li Zetian also looked excited, combining so many awesome companies and joining forces, I don't know what kind of magical sparks will collide! !

"Cheng !! just do what I just said, let's get a super awesome arms company out!!"

"Okay!" Dongfang Yuqin replied with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, the Colt Company has sent you a gift!" Dongfang Yuqin said suddenly, and turned out a beautifully packaged box under the cabinet.

Colt is one of 19 arms companies acquired by Chronos Industries, which mainly produce small arms.

In fact, Colt is a well-known American firearms company, which has been a household name since the American Civil War. Among them, the Colt pistol is the most famous firearm in the late 19th century, and in the more than 100 years since its inception, there have been as many as 30 million revolvers, rifles and other weapons under the name of Colt, which is difficult for any other weapon company to match.

However, the threshold for light weapons is much lower than that of heavy weapons, and Colt has many competitors, and now it has lost its former glory. In 1984, the U.S. military's decision to remove M1911A1 pistols hit Colt unexpectedly. In 1988, Colt lost another contract from the U.S. government to order M16 rifles, which was tantamount to a catastrophic blow for the company.

According to Li Zetian, on the evening of June 14, 2015, Colt announced that the company was filing for bankruptcy protection.

As the saying goes, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", Colt Company is still a world-class light weapons manufacturing company, and it has such a glorious history, so Li Zetian chose to buy it. Li Zetian believes that as long as we increase investment, we will certainly be able to develop more advanced weapons. At that time, it will be possible to equip the employees of Umbrella International Security with guns produced by their own company, which will save a lot of costs.

"Looking at the size of this box, I guess that the Colt company gave me a pistol!" Li Zetian said with a smile as he opened the box.

Dongfang Yuqin smiled and didn't speak, but from his expression, he already affirmed Li Zetian's conjecture.

Soon, a classic Colt M1911 pistol was presented in front of you.

Dongfang Yuqin said: "The M1911 pistol, designed by Browning in 1905, is the most famous pistol in the world. Once launched, it immediately became the standard pistol of the U.S. military, and has been maintained for 74 years (1911-1985), through World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War, is the largest automatic pistol in history! Your M1911 pistol is one of the first M1911 pistols produced by Colt Company that year, and it is very collectible!

After a pause, Dongfang Yuqin said, "I heard that there are people out there who are willing to spend $80,000 to buy an M1911 pistol. ”

Li Zetian nodded, picked up the M1911, and felt very good.

"Very nice gift, I like it very much!" Li Zetian put the M1911 pistol in a glass case and used it as a display item to decorate the study. As for the bullets, they were kept in a drawer of a wooden cabinet. Guns and bullets are kept separate, so it's safer. William, a bear kid, likes to play with guns, so he may steal a gun from him to play with it......

Next, SpaceX and Evolutionary Robotics merged into Chronos Industries, becoming two divisions of Chronos Industries: Space-X and Robot-X.

Chronos Industries began to build larger branches, laboratories and factories around the world, pooling the resources of the various companies together. From working alone to working together, a total of development!

Of course, the process is a bit long.

Soon, or in a blink of an eye, it will be the end of the year.

In the living room, Dongfang Yuqin sorted out a document for Li Zetian, which was full of Li Zetian's industry.

Li Zetian looked at it and handed the information to Yu Jingqiu.

After reading it, Yu Jingqiu's face was full of shock: "So many companies !!"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Who makes us have more money? You know, money makes money, and we naturally invest in a lot of companies!"

After a pause, Li Zetian smiled and said, "I want the whole universe to know that the entire earth has been contracted by our family!!"

Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin were speechless for a moment.

"Okay, just kidding!" Li Zetian retracted his cynical expression and said seriously, "There are so many companies now, and the management is very chaotic. I have an idea to carry out a major organizational reform of the company, streamlining the company and integrating it into more than a dozen departments: energy, biology, medical care, food, electronics, networking, artificial intelligence, finance, daily chemicals, arms, etc...... Chronos Industries is an example of this, integrating multiple companies into one company, optimizing resources and making it more efficient!"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and agreed: "Well, I support this very much. In addition, I suggest that those companies with low technical content, low profits, or even losses can be sold!"

"Well," Li Zetian touched his chin and pondered: "The company's reform of the whole group involves a lot of problems, and I can't be in a hurry. Yuqin, you first let our think tank team come up with a feasible plan!"

"Okay. ”
