"Black Monday" swept the world, causing a global economic downturn for a while, causing huge losses to many companies. However, fortunately, Li Zetian had expected it and had enough funds to deal with the disaster.

After the stock market crash, it is Li Zetian's chance to make a fortune!

At this time, the market value of many companies has plummeted and is in jeopardy.

As a result, it didn't take long for it to be reported that Wells Fargo had merged with a certain bank, Umbrella Insurance Company had acquired an insurance company, Sprint had merged with Bell Pacific, and Earth Power had acquired and entered the United States......

At the moment when there is a lot of grief, Li Zetian's acquisition behavior is particularly eye-catching.

From October 19, 1987 to January 1, 1988, Li Zetian's company completed 56 acquisitions, which could not help but cause a sensation in the world's major media!

The Wall Street gang was even more shocked!

"Oh God, 'Black Monday' came so without warning, Chronos· How did Li know that there would be a stock market crash?!"

"yes, I think Chronos· Li is like a prophet of the future, it's amazing!"

"The stock market crash struck, countless companies have depreciated, and Chronos· Li took the opportunity to sweep through major companies and launched 56 acquisitions, all of which were big operations, involving more than tens of billions of dollars, which is crazy!!"

“……”

"It's so handsome!!"

At this moment, even Li Zetian himself can't help but admire himself, no wonder people often say that there is a chance in a crisis! This stock market crash allowed him to pick up a big bargain, and when the stock price rises in the future, Li Zetian's worth will naturally skyrocket.

During this period, the development of the World Wide Web was also very gratifying.

Nearly all Internet users in the United States have used the World Wide Web, either by building their own websites or by browsing other people's websites. It has to be said that AOL took this opportunity to provide online services and grew rapidly!

Without Li Zetian's guidance, AOL developed an online chat room on the basis of the World Wide Web, which allows netizens to chat together on the website. This kind of chat room is different from instant messaging software, and people in the same chat room can see everyone's messages, similar to being in a QQ group.

Once the chat room of AOL was launched, it was very popular and very popular, and even Li Zetian was surprised.

AOL also provides a variety of online services such as BBS, e-mail, online game downloads, online software downloads, news browsing, etc., and has become the first choice for American Internet users. Because as long as you enter the US online service system, the services on the network can basically be found here. Is there a better option for computer novices?

However, because AOL was growing too fast, the money burned out quickly.

In early February, Steve Keys approached Li Zetian and said that AOL needed to launch a Series A financing.

Li Zetian said that there was no problem, led by Sprint and Galaxy Network, and led by four AOL partners, with a total investment of $20 million. Since then, Li Zetian has mastered more than 5% of AOL's shares through cross-shareholding.

Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but say: "Steve Keys really has a hand, and he has developed AOL so quickly!"

"Hmm!" Li Zetian nodded, also quite agreeing with Steve Case's ability.

After a pause, Li Zetian smiled: "Since the establishment of NSFnet, Sprint is the first to establish a commercial network of SprintNet, but now more and more companies are starting to enter this field, including MCI, AT&T and other companies. However, it is also a good thing, because in this way, the development of the Internet can be accelerated, and AOL will grow faster in the future, and Galaxy Network will sell more network equipment. Everything went according to my plan!"

Dongfang Yuqin said: "The network construction in Hong Kong is very fast, and a joint venture telecommunications company has been established with Shenzhen. The Shenzhen area has now opened network services, and then the Internet can be radiated to the surrounding cities through Shenzhen. ”

"Well, that's good. "However, due to the limited broadband, more submarine fiber optic cables must be laid, and Beijing does not seem to have such plans for the time being." ”

"The construction of a submarine fiber optic cable is huge, and China's economy is just starting......"

Li Zetian still has a good understanding of the situation in Chinese mainland, and despite his help, the huge China cannot be changed by one or two people.

"Is there any news about Hanka?" Li Zetian thought about this and couldn't help asking.

"Yes!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "The most famous Hanka R&D company is a company called Lenovo, which belongs to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since 1985, it has launched the first Hanka product with Lenovo function, Lenovo Hanka, and the name of the company's 'Lenovo' comes from Lenovo Hanka. ”

"Associative Hanka?" Li Zetian muttered and wondered, "What are the characteristics of this associative Hanka?"

Dongfang Yuqin explained with a smile: "To be able to provide the associative function is to use the contextual relevance of Chinese characters, which is convenient for users to use. With this Hanka, Lenovo quickly beat other Hanka companies and monopolized most of the market. ”

Li Zetian nodded, originally he also wanted to develop Hanka, but then he forgot about it. Since the Chinese Academy of Sciences intervened, with their understanding of Chinese and their own technology, they were indeed able to develop excellent Hanka. For Li Zetian, Hanka is just a small profit, and he can only be active for a short time, so he simply let Lenovo forget it.

However, Lenovo will become bigger and stronger with Hanka, and then will get involved in computers and become the main competitors of Apple and Mango Computer in Chinese mainland, which is very bad. At present, Chinese mainland has set off an investment boom, foreign capital has entered China, and in the face of Chinese enterprises, if the competition fails, then use the power of capital to bring him down.

Li Zetian thought about it, and he was also a big capitalist.

Lenovo's backer is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which has strong R&D capabilities, and has made a lot of money with Hanka, which will obviously pose a danger to itself in the future. In order to take precautions, while Lenovo has not yet risen completely, it first invested in Lenovo, and then gradually encroached, and finally mastered Lenovo company.

Therefore, Li Zetian said: "Lenovo is also a well-known technology company in Chinese mainland, and it has investment value! Yuqin, you arrange people to talk to Lenovo and strive to become a shareholder of Lenovo, the more shares you hold, the better." ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

In spring, everything comes back to life and the air is exceptionally fresh.

Li Zetian stood up from the chair, walked to the window, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt full of energy. After a hearty breakfast, Li Zetian went to the artificial intelligence laboratory to help everyone develop artificial intelligence and strive to defeat the world chess champion as soon as possible.

Li Zetian didn't know chess before, but now he has become an amateur master. It's just that if he fights against artificial intelligence, he will basically fail.

Artificial intelligence has hundreds of thousands of chess games at its disposal and has so clever algorithms that even some professional chess players are no match for it.

After arriving at the lab, the project leader suggested, "Mr. · Li, the artificial intelligence we have developed is already very powerful, why not invite some professional chess players to play against each other to increase fame and exposure! During this period, we can observe what the situation is like when the artificial intelligence plays against real masters, find out the problem, and optimize the algorithm. ”

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, just do what you say. Li Zetian nodded, thinking, it is not possible to build a car behind closed doors, let artificial intelligence challenge the masters, and only then can they become more and more courageous.

"Well, I'm really looking forward to seeing the AI we've developed go wreaking havoc!" laughs the person in charge.

"Hehe, so do I. Li Zetian also smiled.

So, a week later, the Cray Supercomputer Lab and the Evolutionary Robotics AI Lab jointly held a press conference to announce that the AI supercomputer would challenge the chess pro.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the world and caused heated discussions.

"What? AI supercomputers are going to challenge professional chess players? I don't believe it, how can a computer win over people?"

"It's not that there are no chess games on the market, but the level is so bad that even I can't win, and I want to challenge the professional masters, it's just grandstanding!!"

"The combination of the Solar Storm-II supercomputer and the Evolutionary Robotics Artificial Intelligence Lab with powerful artificial intelligence may be able to win the chess pro!

“……”

Whether it is an artificial intelligence supercomputer or a human being is powerful, for a while, everyone debated.

"Hey, Mr. I'm Zhang Yan, I watched today's press conference, and the artificial intelligence computer against the human master is simply shocking. You know, Tian Shuai and I are both chess enthusiasts, and we want to know how powerful the artificial intelligence supercomputer is!!" Zhang Yan couldn't help but call Li Zetian after seeing this press conference.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "Okay, then you can come to the evolutionary robot artificial intelligence and give you a chance to challenge." Hehe, when the time comes, don't lose too badly, hide in the toilet and cry!"

"What are you kidding, I'm a chess master, everyone can see it, during college, no one was my opponent!" Zhang Yan pursed his lips, full of confidence in himself.

"Bragging about it, no one sees it anyway. ”

Zhang Yan: "......"

An hour later, Zhang Yan pulled Tian Shuai to the artificial intelligence laboratory.

"It's here!" Li Zetian smiled and waved at them.

"I'm going to fight with artificial intelligence!" Zhang Yan said.

"Artificial intelligence can even be done by professional masters, can you?" Li Zetian said with a smile.

"Okay!!"

"Okay, then I'll have someone arrange it for you right away. ”

Zhang Yan grinned, it was time to show his true kung fu......

So, an hour later, Zhang Yan cried with a sad face, and kept saying: "I can't do it, I can't do it, how could I lose again......

Tian Shuai's face was full of surprise, and he said in a low voice: "Mr· Li, the artificial intelligence you've developed is amazing. Although Zhang Yan is a braggart component, his chess level is still very good, and he didn't expect to lose two games in a row. ”

Li Zetian said with a smile: "It's really powerful, otherwise I wouldn't dare to say that I want to challenge a professional chess master!"

“Mr· Li, artificial intelligence isn't just used to play chess, right?" asked Tian Shuai.

"Of course, playing chess is only part of the equation. Artificial intelligence can do a lot, but with current technology and conditions, it can't do more. This PK event was held in order to attract attention, first, to promote the Solar Storm-II supercomputer, and secondly, to promote artificial intelligence. I hope that more talents will be able to join the development of artificial intelligence......" Li Zetian said.

"Hmm......" Tian Shuai nodded, indicating understanding.

Over the past month, four well-known chess masters have accepted the challenge of an artificial intelligence supercomputer, with three losing and one winning. Such a result is astonishing. Many chess masters expressed dissatisfaction and were ready to come to the challenge.

Li Zetian was secretly happy in his heart, and said that all masters are welcome to come, and those who come will not refuse, and they can challenge every day.

AI has the ability to learn on its own, and it will become more and more powerful as the number of battles against the best players increases.

……

Beijing, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"What do you think?" asked an old man with bearded hair, his eyes scanning the crowd.

"As you can see, Chronos· Li has been a strong supporter of the development of Chinese mainland in these years, and can be regarded as a patriotic Chinese. Although Lenovo is a state-owned enterprise dominated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it operates civilian products and will not involve national security issues. If you can accept his investment, you will definitely be able to grow rapidly!" said a middle-aged man.

It is now 1988, nearly 10 years after the reform and opening up, and Sino-foreign joint ventures and even wholly foreign-owned models have become commonplace. It is not surprising that state-owned enterprises accept foreign investment. At present, Lenovo's main product is Hanka, which relies on Mango computer and Apple computer.

Mango Computer Company takes the low-end route, has a large market share in China, and is Lenovo's largest customer. The person who just spoke was called Liu Chuanzhi, president of Lenovo, and he knew very well how much help Lenovo would be to Lenovo's development if Lenovo could accept Li Zetian's investment. In fact, Lenovo at this time was a small company that was only emerging in the field of Hanka. However, we must know that there are too many personal computers in China, and there are still competitors, so how much can Lenovo Hanka sell? There are countless companies in China that are trying their best to attract overseas investment, and Li Zetian's ability to take a fancy to Lenovo is entirely due to Lenovo's luck, but Li Zetian wants a little more shares -- 49 percent, which makes Lenovo easily change hands.

After Liu Chuanzhi finished saying his opinion, a group of people talked about it, but there was no result.

A few days later, when the news came out that Mango Computer Company and Apple Company were preparing to cooperate with other Hanka companies, Lenovo Company and the Chinese Academy of Sciences were immediately anxious.

Liu Chuanzhi was very unhappy, and said early that he would agree to Chronos· Li's investment, but you still have to hesitate. Well, now that others don't cooperate with our Lenovo company, Lenovo company is waiting to be defeated by competitors!

Liu Chuanzhi, as the president of Lenovo, is different from these scientists engaged in scientific research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he has worked hard in the business world for many years, and he knows business things best, and at the same time has a very deep understanding of Li Zetian's influence. Li Zetian wants to pinch Lenovo to death, which is as simple as pinching an ant to death. This time, Li Zetian suddenly sent someone over to say that he wanted to invest in Lenovo Company, Liu Chuanzhi was overjoyed, thinking that Lenovo Company was going to take off from now on, but the result was ......

"Liu Chuanzhi, what do you think we should do now?" asked an old man with glasses, who had previously strongly argued that he could not give up his 49 percent stake.

"In addition to accepting Chronos· What else can Li do with his investment? Once he invests in other Hanka companies, the sales of our Lenovo Hanka will drop sharply, our competitors will become stronger and stronger, and we will become weaker and weaker, and we may eventually go bankrupt! This is by no means alarmist, you can know by analyzing it casually. Liu Chuanzhi said.

Everyone was silent, and they all obviously understood this.

"Well, there is no way, now I can only accept his conditions. ”

……

"What? Li refused, unless Lenovo was willing to sell 60% of the shares?!"

Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but be stunned, and then showed a wry smile, alas, is this a toast and not eating and drinking?

Soon, Liu Chuanzhi came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and told them about it.

“Chronos· Li was angry that he wouldn't be willing to cooperate unless we sold 60% of the shares. Liu Chuanzhi sighed slightly and said, "You can watch it." ”
