Li Zetian first spoke with Jobs on the phone, and Jobs immediately reported the sales of the CD-Walkman. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Li, the CD-Walkman has been a big hit, with a total of 600,000 units sold. In addition, 3 million CDs have been sold!"

Jobs' tone was very excited when he spoke, and Li Zetian was also surprised.

The CD-Walkman is not cheap, costing $150 for a single one.

A CD also costs $10.

In other words, on Christmas Day, the CD-Walkman and CD records alone earned $110 million!

"How are the sales of personal computers?" asked Li Zetian, who said that when customers arrived in the store, they must have bought more than one product.

"Apple-1 sold 4,000 units, Apple-ll sold 15,000 units, Mac computers sold 5,000 units, and the Walkman tape walkman sold 65,000 units!" Jobs replied.

When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, his performance was unusually good!

The popular CD-Walkman attracts popularity, and as long as customers come to the store, they naturally can't stand the tongue of the salesperson, so they can't resist the temptation and naturally buy more products.

Nowadays, due to the reduction of hardware costs and the improvement of manufacturing processes, coupled with the holiday sale, the price of Apple-l has dropped to $300, Apple-ll to $500, and Walkman tape Walkman to $100. However, Mac computers are still more expensive, costing $1,500 each.

Macs have a graphics operating system, which was introduced by the Rockefeller family when they were in control of Apple, but because of their high price, sales have been poor. This time, 5,000 units can be sold, which is also a rare occurrence.

After Li Zetian ended his call with Jobs, he then dialed Bill Gates.

Microsoft's performance today is also very impressive!

Windows 1.0 sold 120,000 copies, Excel 140,000 copies, and Word 155,000 copies. In addition, even the Microsoft-DOS operating system and the BASIC compiler sold 15,000 and 74,000, respectively.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zetian laughed, "I wonder what decision IBM will make after seeing the sales of Windows 1.0?"

It's already late, and I can't stay up late, which is not good for my health.

Li Zetian left the study and returned to the bedroom to sleep peacefully.

Yu Jingqiu hadn't fallen asleep at this time, when she heard the sound, she turned around and asked, "How is the sales?"

"Very good!" Li Zetian replied while taking off the towel on his body and getting into the quilt naked~~.

Yu Jingqiu is used to it, and Li Zetian has the habit of sleeping naked.

Li Zetian stretched out his hand to hug Yu Jingqiu's plump body, hugged her, and smelled the charming body fragrance on her body before falling asleep. It's also a habit he has developed.

"Well, that's good, let's sleep!" Yu Jingqiu didn't ask much, said softly, and then, like a kitten, closed his eyes, pillowed his head on Li Zetian's chest and began to sleep......

The night passed.

The next morning, a layer of frost rose on the glass outside the window, and when the sun came out, the frost began to melt gradually, and the sunlight shone into the bedroom through the window, projecting on the faces of a young couple.

Li Zetian woke up at this time and looked at an alarm clock on the bedside table, which showed that it was a quarter past nine in the morning.

"I slept so well this night, I woke up naturally!"

Yu Jingqiu also woke up, but he still hung lazily on Li Zetian's body like an octopus.

Li Zetian got erect ~~ in the morning, his sexual interest soared, and he couldn't help but put his hand into Yu Jingqiu's pajamas and caress her pair of soft and elastic proud twin peaks.

Yes~~~

Gradually, Yu Jingqiu let out a coquettish gasp.

Li Zetian's mouth was not idle, kissing Yu Jingqiu's small mouth, and sticking out his tongue to pry her mouth open.

When the foreplay was done, Li Zetian turned over and pressed on Jingqiu's body.

"Jingqiu, let's have another child, preferably a boy!"

"Hmm~~" Yu Jingqiu replied in a coquettish voice, looking at Li Zetian with silky eyes, waiting for his seeding.

Li Zetian smiled slightly, his buttocks pushed forward, and Yu Jingqiu cried out "ah", his voice was particularly ecstatic, making people numb all over......

Because Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu rested well last night, early the next morning, they were full of energy, and they couldn't help fighting for a long time, from the bed to the ground, from the bedroom to the bathroom...... However, there were many people who didn't sleep well last night, such as IBM CEO Frank Cary. Although he doesn't know the specific sales data of Microsoft's Windows 1.0, he can probably guess it. All night, he was thinking about how to deal with Microsoft's competition.

Soon, Microsoft announced specific sales figures, and when Frank Carry saw them, his face sank, and he immediately asked the company's top management to hold a meeting.

After a while, the IBM conference room was full.

Frank Carry said in a deep voice: "The sales data of Windows 1.0, you must have also seen it, not only can you sell so much in one day, but also have an excellent reputation, which is extremely unfavorable for IBM." ”

"Mr. Carry, as far as I know, at least five of the third-party software development companies that originally claimed not to develop software for Microsoft have contacted Microsoft this morning!"

Another company technology executive said, "I compared IBM's operating system to Microsoft's Windows 1.0, and the other is really better than ours!"

COO said: "Mr. Carry, I have a cursory look at the sales of other computer companies on December 25th, and according to my staff, HP and DEC have sold more personal computers than IBM-PCs because they have installed the Windows 1.0 operating system, and IBM-PCs have sold more than them every Christmas. ”

Frank Cary nodded, "So, do you have any suggestions?"

"The main reason for the decrease in IBM-PC sales is because the Windows 1.0 operating system is not installed, in order to increase the sales of IBM-PC, I recommend cooperating with Microsoft!" IBM sales director was the first to suggest, sales performance is directly linked to him, related to year-end bonuses and dividends. Obviously, other companies' computers are equipped with Windows 1.0, so they sell well, but IBM-PC PCs do not have this system installed.

As soon as he spoke, everyone seconded it.

"Director Howard is right, I second!"

"I also second......"

“……”

Almost 80 percent of the audience raised their hands in agreement with IBM's Howard sales director's suggestion.

Frank Carey thought about it all night last night, Windows 1.0 is unstoppable, IBM is better to avoid its edge for the time being, and if it is tough, it will be a huge loss to IBM.

"Then contact Bill Gates and say that IBM can work with Microsoft again, but," Frank Carey said in a deep voice, "the price of Windows 1.0 sold to IBM must be $75 a copy." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

How could Microsoft agree that the retail sale price of Windows 1.0 was $300 in stores, and $150 for the computer manufacturers to take the goods directly, and Frank Carry offered $75 for a copy, which was exactly half the price of other computer manufacturers?

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Frank Carey said: "IBM announced not long ago that it would not cooperate with Microsoft, and if it cooperates with it again in the blink of an eye, what will this make other people think of us IBM? If Microsoft can be sold to IBM at a low price of $75, we will have an excuse to say that it was Microsoft's sincerity that moved us, not that we compromised with Microsoft!

What's more, IBM has always been getting Microsoft's products at the lowest price!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded unconsciously.

"Mr. Cary, are you still thoughtful!!"

Frank Cary smiled faintly.

So, after the meeting, IBM contacted Bill Gates and put forward its own conditions.

Bill Gates did not reply immediately, and after ending the call, he called Li Zetian and asked for his advice.

Li Zetian pondered for a while, and then replied: "Agree to IBM's request!!

Bill Gates nodded and said, "Chronos, you seem to think the same way as me! I think IBM has undoubtedly made a big mistake in this move!"

Li Zetian nodded and smiled: "Yes, this is equivalent to IBM taking the initiative to give up the market for personal operating systems, and we are too late to ask for it!" After a pause, Li Zetian said, "If IBM chooses to use its own operating system and confront Microsoft head-on, with IBM's strength and influence, it is indeed difficult to deal with, at least it will compete with Microsoft's Windows 1.0 and jointly carve up the operating system market."

However, IBM has made another choice, which is undoubtedly to let Windows 1.0 occupy more markets and get the support of more third-party software developers and computer manufacturers! IBM may be thinking that it will secretly develop a new generation of operating system, and then launch it to defeat Microsoft. But things are not as simple as they think, Microsoft is more professional than them, IBM wants to beat Microsoft, it is as difficult as the sky.

Moreover, the user's usage habits and the amount of third-party software are the two key factors for the success or failure of the operating system! IBM's operating system is far behind Microsoft's operating system in these two aspects!

Bill Gates didn't expect that although Li Zetian didn't stay at Microsoft for a long time, he had a deeper understanding of personal operating systems than him.

"Chronos, I'll call back IBM right now. Bill Gates said.

"Don't worry," Li Zetian said with a smile, "Cool them for a while, anyway, they begged to come to the door." If we reply too quickly and instead arouse the suspicion of the other person, it will not be good......"

"Hmm!" Bill Gates was taken aback, and suddenly realized that Li Zetian's thinking was really thoughtful and impeccable!

So, Bill Gates didn't reply to IBM until the next day.

Then the two parties reached an agreement and signed the contract.

After the news came out, it immediately caused a shock in the industry.

Hewlett-Packard, DEC, Commodore, Compaq and other computer manufacturers have despised IBM. Of course, they also know that IBM and Microsoft will cooperate with IBM-PC sales will definitely increase. In fact, this is the main reason why they despise IBM.

The media also ridiculed IBM.

At this time, IBM's spokesman said, "Because Microsoft is full of sincerity and offers a price that makes IBM feel very suitable for the Windows 1.0 operating system, IBM has decided to cooperate with Microsoft again!!"

Upon hearing this, people instead thought that Microsoft had compromised with IBM.

As a result, the media immediately reported how IBM was bullish, and Microsoft could only choose to compromise in the end.

Microsoft did not give any explanation or disdain to answer these media reports from the outside world. At this moment, Microsoft began to prepare for the IPO in full force.

In addition to the Goldman Sachs Group that was previously hinted at, Li Zetian also planned to find HSBC, Chase Bank, Bank of America and other powerful institutions. Chase Bank is the financial core of the Rockefeller consortium, and Bank of America is the financial core of the California consortium. As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies in the mall. The previous unhappiness can also be turned into a jade silk!

Li Zetian believes that the other party will not refuse his kindness......

……

On December 31, the Forbes Rich List was launched, which has attracted close attention from all over the world.

In fact, before this, people had heard that Forbes magazine was going to launch the rich list, and people not only looked forward to it, but also discussed it for a long time, and almost reached a unified understanding of the candidate for the richest man in the world.

"There is no doubt that the richest man is the Chinese-born Chronos Li!!"

"Yes, with so many properties under his name, I just don't know how much money he has!"

"In terms of personal wealth, I take Chronos Li, and I definitely go first! But the wealth of the American consortium is definitely much more than his wealth!"

"Needless to say, Chronos-Li has only been developing for a few years, and those consortia have accumulated wealth of decades, or even hundreds of years, how can he compare with it? However, I believe that as long as Chronos-Li does not fall halfway, with the speed at which he makes money, sooner or later it will surpass other consortia! The Rockefeller consortium has a wealth of more than $400 billion!"

"Damn, you actually use the word 'just', well, I admire it, you didn't even put more than 400 billion dollars in your eyes......"

“……”

At the moment, there are queues at many newsstands across the United States.

"Boss, a copy of Forbes magazine!"

"Boss, I'm a copy of Forbes Magazine, too"

“……”

In just one morning, many newsstands or bookstores have Forbes magazines out of stock!

Li Zetian also wanted to know how Forbes magazine wrote about him, so he specially asked someone to buy him a copy.

It's just that when Li Zetian saw what was written above, he almost wanted to sue Forbes magazine.

"Damn, how did the Forbes Rich List count, and actually wrote so little about my wealth!!"
