Ethernet adapters are network cards, and their importance cannot be overstated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Li Zetian calculated the time and felt that he still had enough time to intervene in the Ethernet standard, and the immediate priority was to develop the Walkman first.

In addition, headphones are an important part of the Walkman, and the profit margin is huge, so when the Walkman is released, the headphones are naturally sold in bundles!

In this way, Apple has to build its own headphone company!

When you think of Apple's headphones, it's easy to think of Bests headphones. Apple spent $3 billion to acquire Bests Headset Company, which was designed, produced, and provided technology by Moosing at the beginning of its establishment. Li Zetian has paid attention to the news, so he also knows something about Mosheng Company.

The company was founded in 1978 by a Chinese-American American, Mei Sheng. In 1971, she graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a degree in electrical engineering and was employed as a design engineer at the Lawrence National Laboratory.

At this time, he had not yet made his mark.

Li Zetian can poach him and establish a company of Magic Voice! Presumably, Li Zetian invited him to join as a Chinese with a high salary, so it should not be a big problem.

Under the influence of Li Zetian, the Chinese in the United States will become more and more brilliant!

Except, of course, those who are against him.

……

The next day, Tian Shuai led the negotiation team to Dolby Laboratories to negotiate with the other party.

Li Zetian took the company's financial officer to the First Intercontinental Bank to handle the loan procedures.

The loan went well, but the Dolby Laboratories acquisition negotiations ran into a little trouble.

Dolby Laboratories can be said to be Dr. Dolby's private company, and if he is not willing to sell, no one will take him. With the boom in the tape recorder market in the '70s, noise reduction became a necessity, and Dolby Laboratories was doing well, thriving, and had no rival in the industry, and all the top talent in the industry had been largely recruited by him to Dolby Laboratories.

Therefore, Dr. Dolby does not intend to sell Dolby Laboratories.

Li Zetian thought about it for a while, since the acquisition could not be successful, then raise funds, first occupy shares, form an alliance, and then slowly figure it out.

Li Zetian conveyed his order to Tian Shuai.

As a result, in the next round of negotiations with Dolby Laboratories, Tian Shuai proposed to raise $4 million from Dolby Laboratories and hold 33.3% of the company's shares.

In 1970, Dolby began to promote the concept of pre-recording cassettes with Dolby B feature encoding, and now Apple wants to make Dolby B noise-canceling cassettes popular all over the world!" Tian Shuai said very confidently.

When Dr. Dolby heard this, he frowned slightly, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"How can Apple guarantee that the Dolby Model B noise-canceling cassette will be a global phenomenon?" asked Dr. Dolby after a while.

"Dr. Dolby, don't you mind signing a non-disclosure agreement until I tell you why?" Tian Shuai asked with a smile.

Dr. Dolby nodded, "Don't mind." ”

So, Tian Shuai took a confidentiality agreement and handed it to him.

After he finished signing, Tian Shuai spoke at this time, and took out the design drawing of the Walkman from the document bag.

"This is a brand new product that Apple is working on - the Walkman tape Walkman!" Tian Shuai paused to give Dr. Dolby plenty of time to think, and then continued, "The Walkman will be the world's first personal portable cassette player, which music lovers can take with them wherever they go. You can listen to songs when you go for a walk, and you can listen to songs when you are in the car...... With your Walkman, people can listen to songs anytime, anywhere!"

After finishing speaking, Tian Shuai smiled at Dr. Dolby and asked, "Dr. Dolby, did you say that with the Walkman, will the development of Dolby Labs be accelerated rapidly?"

"Yes!"

At this moment, Dr. Dolby was shocked and excited!

There is no doubt that the Walkman, a product full of infinite innovation, will definitely take the world by storm, and if the Walkman's tapes use Dolby Laboratories' noise reduction technology, then Dolby Laboratories will take off because of it!!

Dr. Dolby took a deep breath and praised him sincerely: "Apple is a company full of innovation! The designer of the Walkman must be a genius! Mr. Tian, I wonder who this design master is?"

Tian Shuai smiled slightly and replied: "This person is none other than Chronos, the founder of Apple, and Apple-l and Apple-ll of Apple's are also designed and developed by him! In fact, the acquisition of Dolby Laboratories this time is also his decision! Chronos-li believes that Dolby Laboratories is a great and innovative company, and only such a company is worthy of Apple's acquisition!"

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.

When Dr. Dolby heard this, he felt comfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but feel good about Li Zetian, whom he had never met.

Tian Shuai then asked, "Dr. Dolby, do you accept Apple's financing conditions now?"

There was nothing left to hesitate, Dr. Dolby nodded directly and said, "I accept!"

"On the other hand, if Dr. Dolby wants to sell his shares, Apple has the right of first refusal. ”

Dr. Dolby pondered, because of the existence of the Walkman, Apple naturally attaches great importance to Dolby Laboratories, so it is reasonable to ask for the right of first refusal. Moreover, Dolby Laboratories relies on Apple to develop faster, not only Walkman, but also personal computers will use Dolby Laboratories technology, and Apple, as a giant in the personal computer industry, will play a very big role in the promotion of Dolby technology. Whoever sells is not selling, not to mention that selling to Apple is beneficial to Dolby Laboratories.

In fact, the founder of any company does not want to see his company thriving? Jobs was swept away by Apple's board of directors in his previous life, but he still deliberately kept a stake in order to follow Apple's development.

Dr. Dolby didn't hesitate for long, and then agreed.

He nodded to Tian Shuai and said, "Okay, no problem, I also agreed to this request!"

In addition, Chronos-li hopes that Dolby Laboratories will send a technical team to Apple to assist the Walkman development team in developing the product as soon as possible. ”

Dr. Dolby smiled, "Okay, then we'll sign the contract today! Tomorrow, I'll personally take the team to Apple!"

Tian Shuai said with a smile: "With Dr. Dolby's personal involvement, I think the development speed of the Walkman will be better!"

With that, Tian Shuai stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Dr. Dolby's hand.

Later, Tian Shuai and Dr. Dolby chatted about the Walkman project, and the rest of them were busy drafting contracts.

Before noon, Tian Shuai and Dr. Dolby officially signed a financing contract, and Apple became the second largest shareholder of Dolby Laboratories, holding 33.3% of the shares, second only to Dr. Dolby holding 42.5% of the shares, and the remaining shares belong to the company's outstanding talents.

After Tian Shuai left Dolby Laboratories, he immediately called Li Zetian to report the situation.

After listening to the report, Li Zetian hung up the phone, and said with a muttered smile: "Apple and Dolby Laboratories have joined forces, and the core competitiveness of Walkman has become stronger.
