Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Not long after, MS Company finally resumed trading amidst great anticipation, but no good news came. Only a week had passed since the last suspension, but MS Company had not come up with a good solution to the problem, and instead, it had plunged the company into an even worse situation.

"Stephen, your money has arrived. What are you planning to do with so much money?"

Lawrence wanted to understand Zhang San's thoughts so he could create a financial plan for him. After all, Zhang San made his living through investment banking. This time, after deducting fees and taxes, Zhang San would receive $270 million.

"My friend, I don't know either, there are too many, I don't know what to do. How about this, help me buy some MS company stock." Although he didn't know why Zhang San wanted to buy MS company stock, he knew that the customer is God, and all reasonable and unreasonable needs of the customer should be met.

"These are accounts belonging to several companies. Use them to open accounts and secretly buy shares using my $270 million."

There are now nearly 100 million computers worldwide, which means that NTOS's potential customer revenue will reach more than $8 billion. With the addition of the new Office suite, sales of nearly $20 billion are inevitable. Moreover, software, like a book, is a form of intellectual property and basically does not require much fixed assets.

MS's stock has now plummeted to rock bottom, truly plummeted. In terms of operating systems, there's absolutely no chance of resistance; it's been swept into the dust. But Zhang San still needs many things, such as MS's talent.

Just as he was buying a large number of shares in MS Company, preparing to take over the company and then list it through a reverse merger, someone approached him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang San!"

A North American man speaking fluent Mandarin shocked Zhang San for a few seconds before he said, "You're investigating me?! You guys are investigating me."

"I'm just a messenger. You defeated MS, now you need to fill the gap. We need to maintain our global leadership."

"What if I don't?" Zhang San wanted to test the waters, wondering what they would do.

"I'm just giving you advice, and I hope you'll listen."

"Of course, I'll listen. Since you say so, tell me your plan."

Zhang San immediately backed down. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. That's just how society is.

"Your new timeline will go public, which will fill the gap left by the system company." He was confident that Zhang San would agree to it.

Zhang San said, "I have a better plan. Why not inject the new timeline into MS and use MS as a shell to go public? Or acquire MS and then relist it."

"This is a good plan. You can handle it yourself. I suspect some people won't like it. However, we're only here to get you listed; the rest is not my concern." With that, the man left. Before departing, he turned back and said, "Your cooperation will allow you to enjoy the free air of North America."

As Zhang San and the others left, he cursed inwardly, "What the hell is this 'freedom'? Do they think I'm stupid?"

However, since someone has come to my door to discuss this matter, I have no choice but to compromise. There's no other way; I'm just too inexperienced in some things, so this is the only way to proceed.

The two most popular software programs on the market right now are NTOS and NTOFFICE. These two programs can be said to have swept away all related software. MSOS suffered a complete defeat, and for a time, NT Company was riding high.

Meanwhile, Zhang San was making so much money that he couldn't keep up with the cash. Under these circumstances, MS Company's stock price was also plummeting. Just then, MS Company announced a trading halt and a major asset restructuring plan. Everything in the original MS Company would be frozen, and an asset valuation would be conducted before the restructuring.

The restructuring plan is very simple: NewTimeSoft will raise funds and sell its shares to acquire MS Company. MS Company will then hold a shareholders' meeting to vote on the acquisition.

"Lawrence, it's your turn. You will represent me, those companies, to market our company's shares. Hopefully, you can push the price up."

Lawrence was deeply moved upon hearing this and said, "That's wonderful, you're my best friend."

"certainly!"

In the afternoon, Zhang San met with the person who had delivered the message before. The person smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again. Your actions have earned the admiration of my bosses. You are a genius, and you are also very 'pragmatic.' Although it doesn't sound nice, it's true."

"I'm just a businessman, I just want to make more money."

Once I get the money, I'll move ARM to mainland China and make you bunch of losers furious.

"I believe our cooperation will be fantastic. Just tell us your conditions for coming here, and we'll find a way to meet them." The man's smile grew increasingly gentle.

Zhang San pulled out a list of company names; the other person smiled upon seeing it and said, "Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry? Or one of those places with tons of female celebrities?"

"After the company goes public, I will enjoy life." He paused for a moment, then said, "I'll make a little more money to prepare enough cash for my retirement."

"Wow, that's a great idea."

Before the financing deal was finalized, Newspace Software distributed a billion dollars in dividends, but no one objected because it was in accordance with North American law.

But this news caused a huge uproar; however, those big companies didn't care at all. They had seen even more disgusting things before, so it was nothing! If the other party used company loans and then distributed the profits, that would be disgusting, and they would probably be furious. But now?

That money was earned by someone else; it's legal and perfectly legitimate, there's nothing wrong with it.

Everything went smoothly. After New Year's Day in 1990, the financing was completed, and everyone was very satisfied. This time, NewTimeSoft sold 30% of its shares, raising three billion US dollars. As for the acquisition, it was still under negotiation, and he was not in a hurry.

He has more important things to do. He now has four billion US dollars. As for New Space Software, he found someone to act as his agent. The rest of the management is left to him and the directors of other companies. Their primary task is to acquire MS Company and then merge the two companies to become a new system software giant.

After completion, the new company, which Zhang San named NT-MS, will replace the original MS and become a new giant, listing on the US stock market.

As promised by Zhang San, New Timespace will gradually sell its shares in NT-MS, reducing its stake to 30% by 2002.
