Chapter 404 Powerful Kronos Industry!
Internet companies are originally very money-burning companies. Investors favored them before, and the almost crazy investment made these Internet companies sustainable.However, after the dot-com bubble burst, investors fled, fearing that it would be too late, which led to the bankruptcy of a large number of internet companies.

It can be said that the entire Internet market is sluggish, and there are very few companies that can survive the cold winter of the Internet.

Li Zetian is very relaxed, watching flowers in the courtyard, he can be said to be the biggest winner in this Internet economic crisis.Now all he has to do is wait, wait for the stock prices of these Internet companies to drop to the lowest level, and then buy the bottom! ! !

The wait may not be too long...

Right now, Li Zetian has acquired many companies in Southeast Asia and is integrating resources and optimizing them. He is very busy.However, the biggest problem at present is that Li Zetian still has a lot of money on hand and has no place to spend it.

In Li Zetian's view, putting money in the bank is the most stupid choice, so new investment projects need to be found.

However, out of consideration for its own security, it is necessary to establish a powerful arms company.If Li Zetian owns a powerful and unparalleled arms company, it will not only increase his influence in the world, but also make countries around the world fear him.In addition, after the outbreak of the 911 incident in the United States, terrorists became more rampant, and they were all a group of desperadoes. If there were no high-tech weapons, Li Zetian would have no idea.

You must know that a trillion-dollar super-rich like him must be one of the primary targets of terrorists, especially in this Internet economic crisis, Li Zetian has cashed out trillions of dollars in funds, which is obvious to all and cannot be hidden.

And so much money is enough to make terrorists take risks, even if there are a lot of bodyguards around Li Zetian, they can't restrain the other party's greed!

Therefore, Li Zetian is very eager to develop more advanced high-tech weapons and equipment for bodyguards to protect the safety of himself and his family.

Of course, it is also necessary to strengthen the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, energy, biological genes, and new materials.

In early August, Chronos Industries reorganized and transferred its LCD division to Samsung.Samsung is already at the world's top level in the liquid crystal field, and now it is a powerful combination with the liquid crystal segment of Chronos Industries.

From now on, Chronos Industries will be an arms company.

Li Zetian intends to develop Chronos Industries into a Stark arms company similar to Iron Man, and it is best to develop Iron Man suits in the future.

There are many arms companies in the United States, but the top-ranked arms companies are related to national security. Their importance is self-evident, and Li Zetian is naturally not allowed to acquire them.Therefore, Li Zetian can only buy arms companies with low-to-middle level of strength.

Li Zetian has always been adhering to a principle, if you don't do it, you have to do it, and if you want to do it, you must do your best!
Although it can only acquire middle and low-level arms companies, as long as they recruit people with high salaries and increase research and development efforts, they will catch up technically sooner or later.What's more, Li Zetian's acquisition targets are not limited to the United States, but all over the world.Any arms company with development potential is Li Zetian's acquisition target.

Chronos Industries is not an American company, but a large international arms company that supplies weapons to countries all over the world.

Since August, Chronos Industries has started acquisitions in a hurry.

In just one month, seven small and medium-sized arms companies were acquired at a cost of US$7 billion.

The acquisitions are just the beginning.

Li Zetian is a person who cherishes his life very much. Before that, he devoted all his energy to invest in the development of gene technology companies. Now, in order to develop arms companies, it is naturally impossible to spend only 240 billion US dollars.Acquisitions are in full swing. Companies from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, Israel, and other military powers are all targeted by Li Zetian. If you can’t acquire the other company, then you can buy the other’s technology, or pay a high salary. Poach the other party's talent.

Li Zetian didn't believe it, he couldn't spend money on a powerful arms company!

The Lockheed Martin Corporation of the United States is powerful. It is one of the top arms companies in the United States. However, its market value is only tens of billions of dollars.

……

"Acquiring an arms company is no better than acquiring other companies. Many countries have come forward to stop it!" Dongfang Yuqin sighed slightly.

On October 10th, after Chronos Industries acquired 5 small and medium-sized arms companies one after another, European and American countries feared that Chronos Industries was too powerful, and came forward to obstruct it.

Li Zetian twitched his lips, showing disdain for these countries.

However, since they came forward to stop it, Li Zetian did not intend to continue the acquisition.

"Yuqin, I think it is possible to merge Space Exploration Corporation and Evolution Robotics Corporation into Chronos Industries!" Li Zetian pondered, thinking, since you prevent me from acquiring other companies, well, I will not acquire them, but I I can do whatever I want with my own company.

Both Space Exploration Corporation and Evolution Robotics Corporation are high-tech companies, and many of the technologies involved can be used in the development of arms and weapons.

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said: "This idea is OK! The 19 small and medium-sized arms companies acquired by Chronos Industries are world-class in their own fields. When integrated, even if they are not as good as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other companies, they are still considered It is the world's top arms company."

"The team of Space Exploration Corporation comes from the Soviet Union, and it has always been a world leader in the field of aerospace. The merger of Chronos Industries and Space Exploration Corporation definitely does not belong to Lockheed Martin or Boeing."

"If you add the world's largest robot company, Chronos Industries is simply too powerful, and the future has infinite possibilities!!!"

After Dongfang Yuqin finished speaking, her eyes were full of longing and anticipation.

Li Zetian was also excited. Combining so many powerful companies and combining them, I don't know what kind of magical sparks will collide! !

"Success!!! Just follow the idea I just said, let's create a super awesome arms company!!!"

"Okay!" Dongfang Yuqin replied with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, Colt has brought you a gift!" Dongfang Yuqin said suddenly, and immediately found a beautifully wrapped box under the cabinet.

Colt was one of 19 arms companies acquired by Chronos Industries, mainly producing small arms.

In fact, Colt is a well-known American firearms company, and it has been a household name since the American Civil War.Among them, the Colt pistol is the most famous firearm in the late 19th century. In the more than 100 years since its inception, there have been as many as 3000 million revolvers, rifles and other weapons produced under the name of the Colt company. No arms company can come close.

However, the threshold of light weapons is much lower than that of heavy weapons. Colt has many competitors, and now it has lost its former glory. In 1984, the U.S. military's decision to withdraw the M1911A1 pistol dealt a surprise blow to Colt. In 1988, Colt lost the US government's contract to order the M16 rifle, which was tantamount to a catastrophic blow for the company.

According to Li Zetian, on the evening of June 2015, 6, Colt announced that the company was filing for bankruptcy protection.

As the saying goes, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", Colt is still a world-class small arms manufacturing company, and it has such a glorious history, so Li Zetian chose to acquire it.Li Zetian believes that as long as investment is increased, more advanced weapons can be developed.At that time, the employees of the umbrella international security company can be equipped with guns produced by their own company, which saves a lot of costs.

"Looking at the size of the box, I guess the Colt company gave me a pistol!" Li Zetian said with a smile while opening the box.

Dongfang Yuqin smiled and didn't speak, but she confirmed Li Zetian's conjecture from her expression.

Soon, a classic Colt M1911 pistol appeared in front of him.

Dongfang Yuqin introduced: "The M1911 pistol was designed by Browning in 1905 and is the most famous pistol in the world. Once launched, it immediately became the standard pistol of the US military and has been maintained for 74 years (1911-1985). After World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War and Persian Gulf War, it is the automatic pistol with the largest cumulative output in history! Your M1911 pistol is one of the first batch of M1911 pistols produced by Colt that year. It is very It has collection value!"

After a pause, Dongfang Yuqin said, "I heard that someone out there is willing to buy an M8 pistol for $1911."

Li Zetian nodded and picked up the M1911, which felt good in the hand.

"It's a very good gift, I like it very much!" Li Zetian put the M1911 pistol in a glass cabinet, decorating the study as a display.As for the bullets, they were kept in a drawer of a wooden cabinet.The gun and bullets are released separately, which is safer.This brat William likes to play with guns, so maybe he will steal a gun from him to play with...

Next, Space Exploration Corporation and Evolution Robotics were merged into Chronos Industries to become two divisions of Chronos Industries: Space-X and Robot-X.

Chronos Industries began to build larger divisions, laboratories and factories around the world and pooled the resources of each company.From fighting alone to cooperating, grow together!

Of course, this process is a bit long.

Soon, or in a blink of an eye, it will be the end of the year.

In the living room, Dongfang Yuqin sorted out a document for Li Zetian, which was all about Li Zetian's property.

Li Zetian looked at it and passed the information to Yu Jingqiu.

After Yu Jingqiu finished reading, shock was written all over her face: "So many companies!!!"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Who made us have more money?! You know, money begets money, so naturally we invest in and buy a lot of companies!"

After a pause, Li Zetian said with a chuckle: "I want the whole universe to know that the whole earth is contracted by our family!!!"

Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin were speechless for a moment.

"Okay, it's just a joke!" Li Zetian withdrew his cynical expression and said solemnly, "There are so many companies now, and the management is very chaotic. I have an idea to carry out a major organizational reform of the company. Streamlined and integrated into more than ten departments: energy, biology, medical care, food, electronics, network, artificial intelligence, finance, daily chemicals, arms, etc... Kronos Industry is an example, integrating multiple companies into one Company, resource optimization, higher efficiency!"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and agreed: "Well, I strongly support this point. In addition, I suggest that companies with low technical content, low profits, or even losses can be sold!"

"Well," Li Zetian rubbed his chin and said in deep thought: "The whole group of company reform involves many issues, so there is no rush. Yuqin, let our think tank team come up with a feasible plan first!"

"Ok."
