At the end of December 2002, Henry and others returned to California from Mahawaii. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the results of the investigation mission sent by the United Nations to Iraq had already been obtained, and they said that they had not found any nuclear or biological weapons of mass destruction. As soon as this news came out, the United States immediately opposed it. President George W. Bush said: "Iraq must have made preparations in advance and destroyed its nuclear and biological weapons, so as long as we find signs of their destruction, we can prove Iraq's crimes!"

Forced by the strong position of the United States, the United Nations once again sent an investigation mission to investigate the signs of destruction of Iraq's weapons research!

Henry read the news and was speechless. Sure enough, there is no excuse for the sin you want to add!

Henry can't help but think, if a weak country has no diplomacy, a weak country will be bullied, what should Madagascar do in the future?!

At the thought of this, Henry's head fluttered.

At the end of the year, the company's financial statements came out again.

Henry's company is thriving, with revenues of $85,000 and profits of $300 billion. Japan's GDP is only 15,000 US dollars this year, although GDP and the company's revenue are not the same, but there is so much difference, you can see the gap between the two!

At this time, the financial statements of a company caught Henry's attention. But this company is not Henry's, it's Lucent!

Lucent is a telecommunications equipment company backed by Bell Labs and a competitor to Cisco.

Henry looked at Lucent's financial statements and couldn't help but smile, last year, Lucent lost $14.7 billion, and this year it lost $10.5 billion. When Lucent was founded, it had a strong capital and a technical backing from Bell Labs, with a market value of $200 billion. Unfortunately, Lucent has lost money year after year, and its market value is less than $30 billion, and at this moment, the company is still in debt of $5.54 billion, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Henry had coveted Bell Labs for a long time, but he hated that he couldn't buy it. However, now the opportunity has come! As long as the acquisition of Lucent is equivalent to owning Bell Labs! At the same time, it can also obtain N multi-technology patents. Regardless of what Lucent has lost now, its market value is still close to $30 billion, and it is because of Bell Labs and a large number of patents! At present, the only company that has the strength and is more interested in acquiring Lucent is probably the French Alcatel company.

The two have been in contact since 2001, but they have never been negotiated. Now, Lucent is on the verge of bankruptcy, and presumably, Alcatel is aware of the opportunity.

The combination of Alcatel and Lucent has undoubtedly created a big problem for Cisco. In addition, Cisco is now experiencing a bottleneck in its development and needs to acquire large companies to expand its business and technology. Warwick was gradually rising in China, and Henry had realized that Cisco was in crisis, so he felt that he had to make Cisco stronger.

The combination of Cisco and Lucent should be the best combination! Cisco has Bell Labs as the technical backing force, and it will definitely be like a tiger with wings!

Henry immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the mobile number of Cisco CEO John Chambers.

"Hey, hello Chambers, I'm Henry Williams!"

"Hello, chairman, is there anything going on?"

Henry said directly: "Lucent's annual financial statements, have you read them?"

"Look, Lucent is losing another $10.5 billion!" John Chamberston paused, asking, "The chairman plans for Cisco to buy Lucent?"

"That's right!" said Henry, "after buying Lucent, spin off the loss-making property and sell it! Cisco will only keep the essence of Lucent!"

"Okay, then I'll get ready for it!" said John Chambers.

"Yes!" Henry nodded and hung up.

……

With Cisco's strength, Henry is not worried about not being able to acquire Lucent unless it is stopped by the U.S. government. But for now, there should be only two companies that have acquired Lucent, one in France and one in the United States. As long as the US government's head does not burn out, it should obviously know how to choose.

At this time, Henry came to the Williams Center and called the CEOs of most of his companies, including Apple, Williams Electronics, ICQ, Nicholas International E-Commerce, Google, Firefly Games, Facebook, IMDB, YouTube, LinkedIn, Hospital, etc., to have a very important meeting!

In the large conference room, dozens of people sat down according to the seats with their names written on the chairs, each looking at each other, full of doubts. Henry had never called them all over for a meeting before, and this was the first time!

"What's going on? Mr. Williams called us all here?"

"yes! I don't know why! Is there something important to announce!"

“……”

The public couldn't help but whisper about it.

At this moment, the door to the conference room suddenly opened, and Henry walked in in a white casual suit.

"Mr. Williams is !!"

Such a large group of powerful people who can call for wind and rain outside are like elementary school students who see a teacher and immediately stand up to show respect.

"Well...... Henry nodded slightly at them, and walked straight to the top and sat down.

"Don't stand, sit down!"

When Henry had finished speaking, the group sat back in their chairs.

"Presumably, everyone is curious, why did I call you all over for a meeting today!" Henry said, turning his gaze to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, "Jobs, tell us why!"

"Okay!" Jobs replied with a nod, then connected the MacBook on the desk to the LCD screen in the conference room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, Mr. Williams called you over this time to let you enter a new field -- mobile Internet !!" Jobs paused, glanced at everyone, and said, "At this moment, some people should ask, what is the mobile Internet? In fact, the mobile Internet is the Internet of mobile terminals. For example, a mobile phone is a mobile terminal!"

"Next, I will solemnly introduce to you an invention that can change the world - the iPhone smartphone !!"

As he spoke, a photo suddenly appeared on the LCD screen of the conference room, which was a very beautiful thing with a simple design, with a screen in the middle and a circular button under the screen. Things look good, but is this still a mobile phone? Where are the buttons?

Many people present were full of doubts.

"Mr. Jobs, is this what you mean by iPhone?"
