giants of the era

Chapter 156 Wintel Alliance
At night, the house was finally not so deserted.

Yu Jingqiu was talking with Li Zetian, and told him the details of these years, even though some things had already been said.

"On January 1978, 1, Intel (processor) company launched the world's first 1-bit microprocessor 16, which shocked the industry. IBM, which had been silent in the personal computer market for a long time, aimed at this opportunity and immediately decided to develop 8086 Bit personal computer. The microprocessor is naturally the product of Intel (processor). As for the operating system, the most suitable operating system is the operating system of Microsoft. But because we are both the major shareholder of Apple and the owner of Microsoft Major shareholder, so IBM is not willing to cooperate with Microsoft, and plans to find another operating system company to cooperate with."

"At this time, Bill Gates asked his mother, Mary Gates, to help out. Mary Gates had a good relationship with the top executives of IBM. She talked to me for an afternoon and suggested that I sell most of the Apples. Company shares, otherwise, IBM will definitely not use Microsoft's operating system! I talked to you before, and you said that before 2000, Apple was worth tens of billions of dollars at most, while Microsoft could be worth more Hundreds of billions of dollars. I don’t understand why, but I believe you’re right, so I decided to sell most of Apple’s shares. At the time, everyone thought I was crazy, but Microsoft got what they wanted I have reached a cooperation with IBM. When IBM launched the IBM 5150, Apple was hit hard, and the Rockefeller Foundation and the California Foundation insisted on driving me out, which is actually not unrelated to this matter!"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "You have done a great job. IBM's development of a 16-bit personal computer is bound to hit Apple hard. You can actually make a lot of money by selling Apple's shares at a high price." , After IBM released the personal computer, Apple was crushed into a dog and almost went bankrupt.Between Apple and Microsoft, Li Zetian would choose Microsoft without hesitation.When Apple is truly awesome, it has to wait until after the 21st century to develop the iPhone smartphone. Before comparing with Microsoft, it was not even one-tenth of its market value.

Yu Jingqiu went on to say: "After selling Apple, I have billions of dollars in my hands, and I aimed at the international pharmaceutical giant Roche Pharmaceuticals..."

Li Zetian nodded, Roche pharmaceutical company is very powerful, the market value in the previous life was as high as more than 2000 billion US dollars, and the profit of the drug is simply ridiculously high.

"I thought, firstly, Roche Pharmaceuticals can bring huge profits, and secondly, I can mobilize Roche Pharmaceuticals' R&D resources to develop new drugs for you, so I decided to buy it. However, the market value of Roche Pharmaceuticals is very high, and I The funds in hand were completely insufficient, so they sold Sunbird Company, and after raising enough funds, they successfully bought Roche Pharmaceuticals. However, the "China Cube", "Pac-Man" and "Donkey Kong" you developed "The copyrights of the four games "Super Brick Breaker" have not been sold, and they still belong to us."

"How is the development of Sunbird Company?"

"It's very hot. The Atari 2600 has monopolized the market. Countless game studios and developers are swarming into the market and have developed many games for the Atari 2600 game console. However, many of the new companies responsible for game production Most of the engineers have no experience in the game industry, and they only think about 'making money', so they can only make a lot of shoddy games. Some games are really bad! And besides bad games, there are people who start making and publishing sex games!"

"Does the Sunbird Company not care?"

"Every time a game is sold, Sunbird Company can get a share of income. They don't care! Only half a year has passed, and Sunbird Company's income has already exceeded 10 billion US dollars!"

"Without a good game quality monitoring mechanism, Sunbird Company has reached the end of the day. It is a very wise choice for you to sell Sunbird Company at a high price. If you still hold shares, its value will definitely shrink significantly!" Li Zetian patted Yu Jingqiu's hand and said with a smile, "When a game empire falls, a new game empire will naturally rise!"

The era of the Atari 2600 has passed, and there are still FC red and white machines! ! !There are countless classic good games that have not yet been developed!
Yu Jingqiu was afraid that Li Zetian would be tired, so she didn't talk too late, and took a shower and went to bed before 10 o'clock in the evening.

The next day, Li Chengzhi and his wife brought Zhou Qiqi to the United States, and Yu Jingshan also came to visit Li Zetian in advance.

Zhou Qiqi is now 8 years old, and she is much taller. When she saw Li Zetian, she cried excitedly.

Xiao Zhixuan and Li Chengzhi's faces were much more haggard than before.

Everyone wept with joy and stepped forward to hug Li Zetian one after another.

"Son, it's great for you to wake up!" Xiao Zhixuan cried.

Li Zetian wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Mom, don't cry, am I well? You should be happy."

The family was finally reunited and enjoyed themselves happily.

In the following period of time, Li Chengzhi and his wife stayed here to take care of Li Zetian.In less than a month, Li Zetian's body has almost recovered.

At this time, outside media have already reported Li Zetian's awakening.

"Los Angeles Daily": "Chronos Li has been asleep for a year or two, I don't know if the name of genius can continue!"

"New York Daily": "Chronos Li's wife sold most of Apple's shares, causing Apple to change hands. Now that Chronos Li is back, where will he go?"

"Electronic Games": "At present, Sunbird is dominating the TV game industry. It is estimated that the annual revenue in 1979 will exceed 20 billion US dollars. The founder of the company, Chronos Li, has contributed a lot. The Sunbird company today. Today, Sunbird company has been acquired by Warner Bros. I wonder what attitude Warner Bros. will have towards Chronos Li?"

Warner Bros. said: "The era of Chronos Li's dominance has passed, and Warner Bros. will take Sunbird Company to a higher level!!"

At this moment, countless people are paying attention to Li Zetian's movements.

At this moment, Li Zetian unexpectedly sold the remaining shares of Apple.

This incident immediately caused a huge sensation and discussion in the United States. People believed that this was Li Zetian's strong response to dissatisfaction with the Rockefeller consortium and the California consortium for driving his wife away from the Apple board of directors!
And just as the outside world was discussing a lot, Li Zetian officially launched an acquisition invitation to Intel (memory) company!
Intel (memory) company has been severely impacted by RB memory manufacturers. The company has suffered serious losses and its market value has plummeted. It is in urgent need of transformation.At this time, Li Zetian's acquisition offer surprised them, and only then did they know that Intel (processor) company was actually bought by him.

"With the release of the IBM-PC, the future of microprocessors is bright, and the merger of Intel (memory) and Intel (processor) companies is undoubtedly the best choice!!!"

The company's management has agreed with this view.

So, a week later, Intel (memory) and Intel (processor) companies officially merged.

On July 1979, 7, Intel Corporation held a press conference.

The figure of Li Zetian appeared at the press conference. This was the first time he officially appeared in front of the public since he fell into a coma.I saw Andy Grove, CEO of Intel Corporation standing on his left, and Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft Corporation standing on his right. History will always remember this moment, and this scene has become a never-fading scene in the technology world. picture...
