giants of the era

Chapter 317 Change the Future!

"Mr. Li, I don't quite understand why you want to buy Lenovo, a small company?" Dongfang Yuqin said with a slight frown.In her opinion, the Chinese card developed by Lenovo is good, but it will be eliminated sooner or later.

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Big companies have grown from small companies. Although Lenovo is small now, it has great potential for development."

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and asked, "Chinese companies always want to control the absolute controlling power by themselves. Are you afraid that they will reject your request for 60% controlling interest?"

Li Zetian heard the words, turned his head to look out the window, and said lightly: "If you refuse, there is no need to exist!" Li Zetian is confident that with his current ability, it is really easy to block Lenovo.

……

In fact, facing the threat of Li Zetian, Lenovo was too small to resist.Now Lenovo only has the same product as Lenovo Hanka.However, there are so many Chinese cards on the market. When users buy personal computers, they naturally prefer to buy computers with built-in Chinese cards. It is rare to buy a Chinese card alone.Therefore, the sales of Chinese cards largely depend on computer manufacturers.However, the development of China's own personal computers is slow, and they are basically foreign personal computers. Among them, Mango Computer accounts for the largest proportion, accounting for more than 56.5% of the market share.

If Li Zetian wanted to support other Hanka companies, Lenovo would definitely be forced into bankruptcy.For this point, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Lenovo are very clear.

Therefore, in just three days, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the associated company reached a conclusion, willing to sell 60% of Lenovo's shares to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian was not surprised when he received the news. Lenovo is just a company that develops Chinese cards, and it is not an important enterprise. There is no need for the Chinese Academy of Sciences to hold on to it. An investment to grow the company.

The purpose of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to establish Lenovo is actually to make money. China's reform and opening up has not been many years, and the economy is still very backward.As we all know, scientific research is costly, but the country has no money, so what should we do?Therefore, the Chinese Academy of Sciences had to find a way to make money on its own, and Lenovo came into being.

A week later, the people sent by Li Zetian reached an agreement with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Lenovo. The umbrella company invested 500 million yuan in financing for Lenovo and held 60% of Lenovo's shares.In fact, Lenovo has made a lot of money, because its current valuation can't reach 500 million yuan at all. Li Zetian saw that it was a Chinese company with development potential, so he bought it at a premium!

Li Zetian successfully invested in Lenovo, which caused quite a stir in the industry.

Originally, Lenovo was the leader, but now it accepts Li Zetian's investment and cooperates with strong companies. The future development will naturally be flat, crushing other Hanka companies.However, everyone also knows that the Han Card is just a substitute product. When Intel's microprocessor is powerful enough, the Han Card will be useless. Therefore, Lenovo has already planned to develop a personal computer.However, the company did not have enough funds to start the project.The Lenovo company in the previous life did not launch its own computers until the 90s. Before that, at most, it acted as an agent for foreign personal computers.

Li Zetian had no objection to Lenovo's desire to develop its own personal-brand computer, and even praised it.

The personal computer market is huge. Why not let everyone make this cake bigger?
Two companies must make more money than one company.

Liu Chuanzhi is now in high spirits. Although he is still the president of Lenovo, he is no longer the same. With the support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Li Zetian behind him, who would dare to underestimate him?Lenovo has become one of the best technology companies in Zhongguancun!

At this time, he was talking remotely with Li Zetian.

Li Zetian said: "Lenovo's products are too single, and there are many personal computer development projects. I am also very supportive. In addition, I think Lenovo can also seize another opportunity."

Liu Chuanzhi was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, what is the opportunity?"

"Chinese pager!!!" Li Zetian said very confidently, "There is no noon pager in the world. This is Lenovo's opportunity! Lenovo can not only develop the world's first Chinese pager, but even develop the world's first A Chinese character paging standard, so that I can occupy the most advantageous position!!"

When Liu Chuanzhi heard this, his eyes lit up, and lightning flashed across his brain, and he couldn't help being very surprised, "It has been rumored that Chronos Li is a genius with a wise vision. Through today's conversation, it is true! Chinese pager Such a big business opportunity was actually spotted by him at a glance!"

"Mr. Li, are you determined to hand over such a good project to Lenovo?" Li Chengzhi asked doubts in his heart.

"Hehe, it's just a Chinese pager, it's not a big deal. Besides, isn't the current Lenovo company my company?" Li Zetian said indifferently, as if the Chinese pager was just a mosquito, and he didn't like it.However, it is true, not to mention that the pager market is highly competitive. There are giants like Motorola and Ericsson. In addition, within a few years, pagers will be eliminated just like Hanka!In this life, under the influence of Li Zetian, Apple entered the mobile phone market early. Although it is still in the research and development stage, once it succeeds, it will sweep the mobile phone market and quickly promote the development of mobile communications!The pager would probably end his life earlier than in his previous life!

At this time, Liu Chuanzhi quickly said: "Of course it is your company, you are the big boss of the company!"

Li Zetian nodded when he heard the words, and immediately said: "The Chinese pager project needs to be fast. As far as I know, Inspur is contacting Motorola to jointly develop Chinese pagers. But don't worry, I will also transfer some talents from the United States to help Lenovo The company develops Chinese pagers!"

"Well, thank you, Mr. Li!!"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Okay, let's work hard to develop Lenovo. I hope that next time I come to China, I can see a different and very powerful company!"

"Don't worry, it will be done!!!"

After hanging up the phone, the corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.

After all, Li Zetian is still Chinese, and on the premise of ensuring his own interests, he is still willing to support the development of Chinese enterprises.Taking history as a mirror, you cannot put all your eggs in one basket. Lenovo is another guarantee for Li Zetian.

Li Zetian calmed down, and after he settled Lenovo, he couldn't help but think of Huawei.The current Huawei company has been established for less than a year and has no brand products of its own. It is acting as an agent for the switches of Galaxy Networks.If Li Zetian wanted to take a stake in Huawei at this moment, the other party would definitely want it.

However, Galaxy Networks is an American company, and Li Zetian does not want American companies to dominate Huawei.Even if you want to buy shares, you still use the umbrella company. The umbrella company is an overseas offshore holding company that has nothing to do with the United States. It can maintain the independence of Huawei. Even if Huawei develops in the future and competes with Galaxy Networks, Li Zetian can accept it. of.

Cisco in the previous life had a market value of more than 6000 billion U.S. dollars before the Internet bubble, and Galaxy Networks in this life is estimated to be similar, but the market value after that is not even 2000 billion U.S. dollars.Therefore, Li Zetian intends to sell a large number of shares before the bubble bursts, and instead hold a large number of shares in Huawei.

Moreover, selling at a high price and buying back the shares of Yinhe Network Company at a low price will make more money.

At this time, Li Zetian decided to let Huawei develop for a period of time. The company is currently unknown and the scale is so small. It would be too strange if he suddenly sent someone to acquire it.

Li Zetian's main energy returned to the United States.

Artificial intelligence challenges professional chess players, gradually attracting media attention.However, what makes Li Zetian quite depressed is that for some powerful masters, artificial intelligence basically loses more than wins, let alone challenge the champion.Li Zetian speculated that, on the one hand, the algorithm is not good enough, and on the other hand, the calculation speed of the current Solar Storm-II supercomputer may not be strong enough.The human brain is mysterious, and its complexity is far beyond that of a supercomputer.

In the artificial intelligence laboratory, Li Zetian frowned and said: "Nowadays, it seems that it is difficult for an artificial intelligence supercomputer to challenge the world chess champion. Fortunately, we did not make a big publicity and invite the world champion to the game, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. After that, I will definitely buy IBM, HP and other companies to add insult to injury.”

After a pause, Li Zetian continued: "Then wait for ARM to develop a more powerful microprocessor, and Cray Lab to develop a more powerful supercomputer. At the same time, the Artificial Intelligence Lab will also have time to develop more powerful algorithms!"

It was only in 1997 that IBM dared to challenge the world chess champion. Now it is 1988. Li Zetian suddenly felt that he was eager for quick success, arrogant and arrogant.

Li Zetian couldn't help but shuddered physically and mentally, and took a sip of water to calm himself down.

……

"Honey, I feel like I've gained a lot of weight!"

Li Zetian was doing self-reflection and thinking about the way out of artificial intelligence. Yu Jingqiu had just finished taking a shower, and then said to the mirror with a sad face.

"Exercising more, such as dancing, can also lose weight..." Li Zetian suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he said this, and said excitedly, "My dear, I will let someone develop a dancing machine so that you can dance to lose weight!!"

"Dancing machine?" Yu Jingqiu showed a puzzled expression.

Li Zetian explained: "It's a kind of game console - a music rhythm game. The biggest difference from traditional video games is that traditional video games use remote control sticks plus buttons or four-button handles, while dance machines use the player's double Foot dance steps to complete the game!"

As soon as Yu Jingqiu heard this, she immediately understood the principle of the game and couldn't help being very interested.

Immediately, she threw herself on Li Zetian and kissed him, "Honey, your idea is really great!"

"Hehe, as long as you like it." Li Zetian hugged her plump body, smiled, and then said, "You're actually not fat anymore. You feel very fleshy and comfortable to the touch."

Yu Jingqiu coquettishly said: "You say that, if she really gets fat, you will definitely not like it."

Li Zetian hugged Yu Jingqiu in his arms, and said tenderly and affectionately: "No matter how fat you become, no matter how old you are, or even frowning, I will still love you and will never leave you..."

Yu Jingqiu instantly fell into Li Zetian's love words.

Next, naturally, an upside-down battle kicked off.

The next day, Li Zetian was full of energy and went to the Flamingo Company to talk about his "creative idea".

After Nolan Bushnell and others listened, they all showed surprised expressions.

Li Zetian drank and pretended to be very calm.

"Mr. Li, the idea of ​​the dance machine is really great, and it is definitely loved by young women!" said Nolan Bushnell.

"Not only young women, but also men love to dance, especially to show off their dancing skills in front of girls. Once the dance machine comes out, it will definitely become popular all over the world. In addition, according to the dance machine, we can also launch a family version of the dance mat and a video game console. version of the Music Rhythm Master. The dance mat is similar to the dance machine, so I won’t say much about it. The Music Rhythm Master is based on the falling note gameplay, that is, tapping the notes through the buttons of the arm.”

Li Zetian spoke very clearly, and everyone understood immediately.

"It's quite interesting that music games still have this kind of gameplay..." Nolan Bushnell said thoughtfully.

Li Zetian smiled slightly, of course, whether it is a dancing machine or a "rhythm master", they are all very popular!
After leaving the Flamingo Company, Li Zetian went to the Evolution Robot Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

He associates the dance machine with artificial intelligence.

The dance machine has kawaii anime characters singing and dancing.

Artificial intelligence involves many aspects, including speech naturally.

Li Zetian's idea is to develop virtual characters similar to Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi, first let them be active on the dancing machine, and then add artificial intelligence to make the virtual characters more vivid and interesting. Not only will they be cute and coquettish, but they will also complete some Simple dialogue to attract players.In the future, virtual characters will be active on the Internet and become computer housekeepers.All the games and software developed by companies under the name of Li Zetian can be invoked through virtual characters.

In the early days of the Internet, many people were computer novice. If a cute girl guides them to surf the Internet, play games, and chat, they will definitely be willing to use it. Over time, they will get used to it.

Li Zetian has not only mastered Microsoft's Windows operating system, but also Apple's Mac-OS, which is equivalent to controlling the operating system of a personal computer. Write the virtual character of the system and become a part of it.

As part of the system, she can not only use the software of the company under Li Zetian's name, but also the software developed by other companies.

Perhaps, people will gradually accept the idea that virtual characters are the operating system.

People don't have feelings for the cold operating system, but they definitely have feelings for the virtual characters who get along with you for a long time and often act cute and coquettish with you.If you use an account and turn on cloud data, then the avatar can grasp the huge data of the user, know what the user needs, and become empathetic.

At this moment, Li Zetian suddenly discovered that the future seems to be undergoing major changes.

The operating system is no longer complex data in the C drive, but a virtual character active anywhere on the Internet.

And each operating system will correspond to a virtual character.
