Chapter 18: The Six Apple Cores Level the World
If you want to say what the most hegemonic group in the world is in the 21st century, it is estimated that everyone can say it casually.
That's Apple, which is known as the world of six apple cores!
Before Conrad's crossing, Apple had already stepped on Coca-Cola and punched Microsoft Amazon, becoming the world's No. 1 financial conglomerate, with a market capitalization estimated at more than $1 trillion.
And such a terrifying giant, when the construction started, there were only three people plus $2,000 in start-up capital.
Now he is holding a huge amount of 80 million US dollars, plus the time when Biqiao helped the owner to establish Apple more than ten years earlier, there is no reason to do worse than the other party, right?
What's more, he has a huge advantage!
That's the phone.
Before Apple did not shine, the most powerful company in the world's communications industry was the mobile phone overlord Motorcycle Mula, as the first company to manufacture mobile phones, even the declining Motorcycle Mule still controls hundreds of billions of worth of property.
What kind of concept does it create when a mule pulls a mule and adds an apple?
Conrad can be sure that he can definitely monopolize the world's communications market in the future, and becoming the world's number one is simply sprinkling.
"Is this mobile phone really as big a market as you said, Lord Duke?" Thrawn asked with some uncertainty after listening to Conrad's blueprint.
Now Bell has a complete monopoly on all landline telephones, and although mobile phones have been built a long time ago, they weigh more than 20 kilograms and are as big as an explosive bag, and they have little to do with moving.
Unless you can always find a strong man behind you to carry that huge chassis and two leather case batteries for you.
"Believe me, Suolong, the mobile phone business is definitely a sure win!" Conrad starts to take it all over!
Of course, he doesn't know anything, but he can't stand the money!
Besides, he has been using the mobile phone for decades, so he naturally knows its development process.
And by the way, Conrad also considered whether to get Microsoft out of it in advance.
When the whole world is using their own mobile phones and computers, will everyone still have any secrets about themselves?
Those who engage in electronic communications, if they say that they don't hide some back doors in their own products, they don't believe it!
In the end, the fooled and lame Sauron finally agreed to pay five million dollars to set up the so-called fruit group.
Of course, if Conrad ordered as the master, Thrawn would not be tough against it, as a good steward, he always prioritized the master's order, even if the order was wrong.
But for this old butler who is conscientious and conscientious for his own development, Conrad still has some awe, and it must be great to be able to convince people with virtue!
It's just that the name of this company seems to be a bit out of standard!
With a long-term plan for the next thirty years, Conrad began to work on the short-term plans for the next few years with Thrawn.
After all, whether it is strategic or tactical, it needs to be taken into account in order to develop steadily, right?
The research and development of mobile phones and personal computers requires long-term investment, and there will be absolutely no benefits in a short period of three or five years, and it can only be a bottomless pit.
Otherwise, Bell and IBM would not have given such a large market to others, did they?
But fortunately, he now has a big business and can afford it.
In the past few days, Conrad racked his brains and wrote down all the black technology scientists in his memory, and what he and Thrawn need to study now is to see if they can find a few of these black technology masters who can be used for themselves.
"Howard. Stark! This one can be crossed out! The Duke looked at the name in the first place, and directly erased it with a red pen.
But in the world of American comics, Stark Group is a peak that cannot be crossed, and the two generations of Stark are almost at the apex of human technology, which can be said to be a typical representative of black technology.
But Stark, as good as he is, is unlikely to be of use to him.
On the one hand, the Stark Group is in full swing, and now Howard. Stark's net worth is already close to 700 million US dollars, nearly ten times higher than his net worth, and it is impossible to condescend to work for him.
Come on!
Howard is the founder of the real S.H.I.E.L.D., a man who swore all his life that he would not share with the Third Reich, and he recruited him himself? Unless it's a donkey kick in the brain, it's pretty much the same!
"Anton. Vanke! This guy is still in the honeymoon phase with Stark, and he can't move for the time being, but after a few years, he can think about it! Looking at the second name, Conrad thought for a moment and said.
His biggest advantage is that he is familiar with various plots, but if he doesn't translate this advantage into real strength, it will be useless at all.
So two days ago, the Duke directly directed and acted a ghost trick in front of the portrait of his cheap father in the secret room.
Conrad pretended to be the dead ghost daddy, and then recited a bunch of spells that he didn't know what they were, and then when he woke up, he claimed to have been guided and gained a certain range of foresight.
This trick to deceive the hillbillies would have certainly failed to deceive Thrawn and Gudron, but first of all, the two of them couldn't imagine why Conrad would deceive them.
Second, they are all die-hard fans of Daddy Die, so even if they are nine out of ten sure that Conrad directed and acted in a play, maybe it was really the 1 percent chance?
"This Anton. Vanke, is it amazing? Thrawn watched Conrad muttering to himself in amazement, and began to pay attention to the farce two days ago.
"Yes, although this guy's scientific research ability is not as good as Howard's, it is not much worse, but now he should be monitored by the guys from the Ministry of Defense, and we can't do it!" Conrad nodded.
Anton. Vanke's greatest contribution in his life should be to invent the Ark reactor with Howard, but as soon as he built this thing, he fell out with Howard, and then was driven out of the United States by the other party in the name of military spies and sent back to the Soviet Union.
So, don't look at Howard, that guy looks sven, in fact, he is also disgusted in his bones!
To know Anton. Vanke originally absconded from the Soviet Union to the United States, and now Howard sent him back to the Soviet Union, which is even more ruthless than killing him!
The Soviet Union under the leadership of Comrade Staling was by no means a charity. Vanke should have been directly assigned to the Siberian labor camp, and then a generation of black technology masters were exhausted to death in the labor camp!
