Li Zetian often thinks about a question, what is the purpose of making money?

Here at the orphanage, he found the answer: when there is so much money that it is just a bunch of numbers, what he pursues is not just money, but more influence, status, and the ability and responsibility to change the world and others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Spider-Man has a classic line: "With great power comes great responsibility!"

This sentence is used to describe Li Zetian, and it is the most appropriate.

In fact, when Li Zetian is changing the world, he is also changing himself and making him stronger!

Many disabled children were abandoned by their parents, which is very pitiful, and since Li Zetian established an orphanage, he can't abandon them a second time. For there is probably no place for them but here...... In fact, whether you are a normal person or a disabled person, everyone has infinite potential. Some of the disabled children in the orphanage may be super-geniuses in some areas, such as math experts or computer hackers......

In short, no matter what, philanthropy still needs to be done.

Besides, the company under Li Zetian's name has to donate to the L.Y Foundation every year to reduce taxes anyway, so there is nothing wrong with doing charity......

Indeed, many years later, when those who have benefited from the L.Y Foundation have grown up and achieved amazing results in all walks of life, they are all full of gratitude to Li Zetian, so that Li Zetian's global influence has reached an unimaginable level, even the president of a country does not have the weight of what he said!

……

……

At the end of December, as the glorious deeds of the L.Y Foundation were frequently reported by the media, the scale of the foundation became larger and larger, and people from all walks of life donated one after another. The L.Y Foundation has also set up branches in various countries around the world, and the funds raised have reached almost one-tenth of the funds donated by Li Zetian's company, which is simply beyond his expectations! And this number may become even larger in the future!

Because Yu Jingqiu was pregnant in 1981, and Li Zetian focused on political investment and philanthropy, he did not interfere too much in the development of the companies under his name, but these companies were basically on the right track, even without his command, the performance was very good, with a total revenue of 70 billion US dollars and a profit of more than 15 billion US dollars. In particular, the Flamingo Company entered the world this year, selling a total of more than 40 million Flamingo-1 game consoles and nearly 300 million game cartridges, plus other revenues, this year recorded sales of $17 billion, ranking in the top 30 of the top 500 companies, almost the same as the income of the entire television industry in the United States, becoming an entertainment industry comparable to the film industry.

Li Zetian asked his company to donate $1 billion to the L.Y Foundation. In addition, almost $100 million has been raised.

The funds of the L.Y Foundation are mainly used for the construction of orphanages, schools, hospitals, as well as education and medical research. Roche and Genentech have benefited greatly from their collaboration with the L.Y Foundation for medical research, saving a lot of R&D funds!

After 1981, in 1982, Li Zetian was ready to do something big, so he decided to take out a large amount of money for dividends this time, and the gene umbrella company got 4.5 billion US dollars.

In Li Zetian's view, $4.5 billion is really not much, and the annual profit of Apple in the previous life was $40 or 50 billion. However, considering the current value of the dollar, it is still quite valuable.

……

In the office of the Flamingo Company, Li Zetian had to take a look at it.

"It's surprising that Apple didn't release a new console at Christmas this year. Li Zetian smiled in surprise, took a glass of red wine, and took a sip.

Nolan Bushnell said: "Mr. Li, this is Apple's shrewdness! During the Christmas shopping festival, there are many promotional advertisements from merchants, and if Apple releases a new device at this time, it will not have much media exposure and it will be difficult to attract people's attention." Moreover, the Flamingo company is also engaged in promotional activities, and many players are rushing to the Flamingo-1 game console and game cartridges, and it is difficult for Apple to release a new machine at this time, which is difficult to produce a sensational effect!"

Li Zetian frowned slightly and nodded, feeling that Nolan Bushnell's analysis was very reasonable.

Apple knew that it would be difficult to confront the Flamingo head-on, so it deliberately staggered this time period.

Not long after, at 9 o'clock in the morning on January 20, Apple held a press conference, announcing that Apple's game console would be officially released on February 1, 1982. The company's CEO, Vincent Gay, claimed that the Apple console costs only $150, which is $50 cheaper than the Flamingo-1 console, but it is more powerful!

I have to say that the Apple game console really attracts a lot of people.

A large number of Apple fans and Sunbird fans have expressed eagerness.

The popularity of Apple's flagship store has increased a lot for a while.

The media didn't have much to report during this time, and it happened that Apple was doing something, so they reported that Apple was about to release a game console. At the same time, the editor involved the flamingo company, pulled hatred, made comparisons, attracted people's attention, and sparked heated discussions.

I don't know if Apple is operating behind the scenes, and Apple's game consoles are very hot. Many people, even if they don't plan to buy an Apple game console, want to see if the game console is fun.

On the morning of February 1, the long-lost "long queue" ushered in at the door of Apple's flagship store.

……

"Mr. Li, things are a little bad, many Apple flagship stores are overcrowded!" Dongfang Yuqin frowned after receiving a phone call, and said to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian suddenly stood up, frowned and said, "Let's go, let's go and see it for ourselves!"

"Okay. ”

Not long after, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin came to the vicinity of Apple's flagship store in downtown Los Angeles, and the two did not get out of the car, but observed the situation outside through the car window.

Sure enough, there was a queue at the entrance of the flagship store.

Li Zetian felt a sense of crisis in his heart, thinking that Apple's game console was going to carve up the game market.

However, his worries quickly disappeared.

There are a lot of people who come to see the excitement, but there are very few people who are willing to spend money to buy it.

"Although there are so many games in the Apple console, there are only three or four to play, while the Flamingo-1 console has dozens of fun games, and many of the games are classic and durable! I would rather spend a little more money on the Flamingo-1 console than buy the Apple console. Gone, it's boring!"

"Me too, as long as I've played the games on the Flamingo-1 console, I feel that the games here are not interesting!"

Apple left Chronos Li and everything it developed was rubbish. Apple's game console still wants to compete with the Flamingo-1 game console, it's a fool's dream!" a Chinese American shook his head and sighed.

“……”

After a while, many people left Apple's flagship store empty-handed. They came, but they didn't shop.

Li Zetian watched it for more than ten minutes, suddenly laughed, and then said to Dongfang Yuqin: "Let's go back, Apple is not a problem!"

On that day, Apple sold a total of 150,000 game consoles, which is indeed a good result for a new game company, but it is undoubtedly a very bad result for Apple, which acquired Sunbird.

The next day, Apple's flagship store was nowhere near as lively as the first day.

A week later, it could almost be described as a doorman.

The media immediately changed its direction and vigorously sang about Apple.

Popular Electronics: "In terms of performance, Apple's Apple console is better than the Flamingo-1 console, and in terms of price, the Apple console is cheaper than the Flamingo-1 console." But Apple ended up losing badly, and just a week later, Apple's consoles were no longer selling. Through comparative analysis, we can easily draw a conclusion: the core competitiveness of the game market is game software, not game consoles! The games on Apple's game consoles are not fun, so players abandon them......

The Wall Street Journal: "Apple is desperate to buy Sunbird, develop game consoles, and even sell at a loss, losing $50 for every machine sold." However, even so, players are not buying it. The Apple game console project became the most failed project in Apple's history, resulting in a huge loss for the company. In the near future, Apple is about to file for bankruptcy !!"
