While AOL was still considering it, Li Zetian had already launched an acquisition of Carl Zeiss in East Germany in the Soviet-occupied zone.

The Soviet Union and the United States were in a cold war, and the issue of the acquisition of Carl Zeiss was a bit sensitive.

However, after all, East Germany did not belong to the Soviet Union, but to the GDR, and in business, the East German Carl Zeiss company suffered serious losses, and since someone wanted to buy the company, then it could also be considered.

Soon, the people sent by Li Zetian began to contact Carl Zeiss and officially entered the negotiation process.

Not long after, news came out that Li Zetian launched an acquisition of TRUMPF in Germany.

At this time, the German government and the German citizens were very surprised.

“Chronos· Li's investment is going to Germany?"

Many Germans rejoiced.

Germany was a defeated country and needed external investment.

Li Zetian is the richest man in the world, and his investment trends have always attracted attention. His acquisition of German companies means that he is optimistic about the development of Germany. The German government, of course, expressed its support. With Li Zetian's example, must international capital enter Germany one after another to promote Germany's economic development?

Therefore, in the acquisition process, Li Zetian did not encounter any obstruction from the German government. As long as the government doesn't interfere, money is not an issue.

In fact, Germany is the largest economy in Europe and has a very developed industry, and Li Zetian is very optimistic about its development.

Although Li Zetian now has American citizenship, his company is an international enterprise, and the U.S. government can intervene in American companies at most.

As the saying goes, "three holes of a cunning rabbit", Li Zetian naturally will not put all industries in the United States.

……

……

Three days passed quickly, and Steve Keys was a smart man, and finally discussed with Jim Kinsey and agreed to Li Zetian's request.

Li Zetian sent Dongfang Yuqin to AOL again and formally signed a contract with them. At the same time, it brought a cooperation contract between Mango Computer, Apple and Sprint, allowing AOL to install online service systems on computers, and Sprint to provide network services.

After Dongfang Yuqin left, Steve Keys sighed: "Chronos· Li has too many resources at his disposal, and AOL has provided so much help as soon as he arrives, why can't the company develop!!"

Jim Kinsey nodded: "That's right, this is just the beginning, we still need to get more orders, all computer malls and telecommunications companies are our targets!"

"Hmm!"

Li Zetian allowed AOL to develop, without much intervention or even advice.

In fact, because the Internet has not yet emerged, good products have been made, but other companies have imitated them. In addition, Steve Case and his management team are still young and need to be honed after all.

His current focus is on Sprint, where the telecommunications network is the key to the Internet.

Now that the acquisition of AOL is also time to accelerate the pace of Sprint's development, Li Zetian plans to acquire a telecommunications company and expand rapidly. The target has been found, GTE, the largest independent local telephone company in the United States.

At the moment, the dollar is depreciating sharply, and the umbrella company still has more than $3 billion in its accounts. As soon as the end of the year arrives, the company will pay dividends again, and the money will not be spent, Li Zetian is not happy, and he always feels that he is losing money. If the money is not enough, Li Zetian's Wells Fargo Bank can still borrow.

As a result, on the third day of the acquisition of AOL, Li Zetian launched a takeover bid for GTE in the name of Sprint.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a shock in the US telecommunications industry.

The Wall Street Journal couldn't help but report: "Sprint gets Chronos· Li's support is extremely strong, and he will definitely become the hegemon of US telecommunications in the near future!!"

AT&T is in turmoil, and it is impossible to suppress the strong rise of Sprint.

The establishment of a nationwide digital fiber optic network immediately established Sprint as a strong competitor to AT&T's long-distance telephone business. In addition, the construction of submarine fiber optic cables between the United States and Asia is about to be completed, and at that time, Sprint will beat AT&T for international long-distance services in Asia, unless AT&T also builds a submarine fiber optic cable immediately.

In addition, AT&T is also facing competition from MCI, which can be described as embattled, which is really frustrating.

AOL's Steve Keys and Jim Kinsey learned that Sprint was going to acquire GTE, and if it was acquired by Li Zetian, AOL would be able to get GTE's absolute support, and the company's future development would be as fast as a rocket.

“Chronos· Li is worthy of being the richest man in the world, a billionaire, that is, he is rich and domineering! Li buys AOL and we're definitely dying of headaches now!" laughs Steve Case.

"Hehe, that's true!" laughed Jim Kinsey, "I think this is just the beginning. Li will definitely not be satisfied after acquiring GTE, and Seven Little Bell may be his next target!"

"The combination of capital power and unique vision is simply invincible!"

……

Li Zetian's big moves are frequent, and the recent news is all related to him.

Either the acquisition of German companies or the acquisition of American telecommunications companies seems to have shown the fangs of capitalists, making people realize that this is the real capital predator!!

In the evening, Dongfang Yuqin walked into Li Zetian's study and said, "Mr· Li, M. Davis, chairman of 20th Century Fox Films, has just called and graciously invited you to his party. ”

"You politely declined for me, you know, I don't really like to party. Li Zetian didn't raise his head and continued to read the documents.

Dongfang Yuqin reminded: "Mr· Li, it's not an easy party!"

"Oh?!" Li Zetian raised his head at this time, looked at her and asked, "Why isn't it simple?"

"News Corp. wants to buy 20th Century Fox Films, but the price is not negotiated. At this critical moment, M. Davis suddenly threw a party and invited many people with deep pockets. Li, if you're interested in 20th Century Fox Films, you might as well go to this party!

In the '60s, 20th Century Fox produced Cleopatra, the most expensive film in the history of American cinema, but it failed miserably. From then on, 20th Century Fox began to decline due to lack of funds, and by the seventies, the company was making very few films. In 1981, the big oil merchant M. Davis bought the company, but it didn't bring him huge profits, so he now wants to sell it. ”

Li Zetian heard this, and secretly rejoiced, although he didn't know much about the 20th Century Fox Film Company, he also knew that the company's current situation was not good, and the "Star Wars" series, which made the 20th Century Fox Film Company make a lot of money, now belongs to Disney.

"Then let's go!" Li Zetian thought about it and said with a smile, "Hehe, it seems that it is quite interesting to control the two Hollywood movie giants! In addition, the "Sun" newspaper under the name of News Corporation, once satirized me, although it has been a long time, but it has left a scar on my fragile heart......

Speaking of the back, Li Zetian couldn't help but joke. However, he does have a bit of a contradiction with News Corporation, and if he can add to News Corp.'s blockage and strengthen himself at the same time, why not?
