Chapter 312 Transformation!

"Mr. Li, Wang An Computer Company is going to die!"

At around 10:12 am on October 11, Dongfang Yuqin walked into Li Zetian's study and said.

Li Zetian was slightly surprised, but this was expected.Li Zetian was just a little bit emotional. In the United States, Wang An created a legend. He and Li Zetian were called the two heroes of the Chinese business community in the United States!However, by the mid-80s, Wang An Computer Company collapsed.

Dongfang Yuqin said slowly: "Wang An Computer Company also began to realize the rise of personal computers before, and after Wang An's son Wang Lie took over the company, he formulated a personal computer development project. However, because it is not compatible with the IBM-PC standard , the result was a big defeat. When Wang An Computer Company was about to make a change, the 32-bit personal computer was born, and Wang An Computer Company did not keep up with the pace, and now, bankruptcy is imminent!"

"Hehe, Wang An is arrogant, Wang Lie is mediocre, Wang An Computer Company is in the hands of their father and son, how can it not go bankrupt? However, Wang An Computer Company has a strong foundation and many talents, so send someone to take it over!"

Li Zetian's tone was tinged with contempt, and he suddenly thought of Wang An's arrogant statement that Wang An's computer company had a turnover of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, and there was no way it would go bankrupt.However, within a few years, Wang An Computer was reduced to such a situation!
"Okay!" Dongfang Yuqin smiled, as if she already knew Li Zetian's decision.She picked up the phone and immediately ordered someone to buy Wang An Computer Company.

Li Zetian's eyes narrowed slightly. The bankruptcy of Wang An Computer Company was a wake-up call for him. If the company's leadership makes a wrong decision, it may lead to bankruptcy in the future.

"Bill Gates in the previous life was right. The company is only [-] months away from bankruptcy..." Li Zetian thought to himself.He couldn't help but began to examine the companies under his name, and found that most of them were operating very well.Excellent professional managers coupled with their own grasp of the general trend of the future have just achieved such success!However, once the memory in my mind is used up, perhaps by then, the direction of the company's development will be at a loss...

Wang An Computer Company is not a small company. It was a very brilliant company from the late 70s to the early 80s. Its products, word processors and minicomputers, were very popular. The Wang An word processor, in particular, beat IBM and monopolized 60% of the world. In the above markets, even the word processor used by the White House in the United States is a product of Wang An Computer Company.Isn't it shocking that there is such a company founded by Chinese in the United States dominated by white people? !
Wang An himself was not only included in the American Inventors Hall of Fame, but his wealth at the peak even made him one of the ten richest people in the United States. Even President Ronald Reagan personally awarded him the highest civilian honor in the United States - "Presidential Freedom of the United States". medal"!
Right now, such a legendary company suddenly filed for bankruptcy in the court, which immediately caused an uproar in the media and business circles!

At this moment, in the CEO office of Wang An Computer Company, Wang An and Wang Lie looked at each other in dismay, silent, and there was a sense of despair in the air.

"dad!!!"

Wang Lie looked at his elderly father with white hair and haggard face, speechless.

"I don't blame you..." Wang An sighed, the wrinkles on his face were like ravines, full of frustration and regret.He raised his forehead and said in a hoarse voice: "If Wang An Computer Company could transform a few years earlier and not fight against IBM, maybe the company would not have gone bankrupt..."

At this time, Wang An finally realized that his mistake at the beginning was his own pride, that he was arrogant and ruined the entire company.

At this moment, Wang An suddenly remembered the only time he met Li Zetian, which is still fresh in his memory.

"Hehe, at that time I approached the door arrogantly, I was self-righteous, I didn't take the other party seriously, and even asked Chronos Li with an extremely strong attitude to ask Microsoft and Intel not to cooperate with IBM, but to cooperate with Wang An Computer Company Cooperation." Wang An said with a wry smile, "Looking at it, I was really stupid and overwhelmed at the time. Today, Microsoft's market value has exceeded 400 billion U.S. dollars, while Wang An Computer's market value is less than 20 billion U.S. dollars , not even one-twentieth of others, it's just too ridiculous!"

Wang Lie was also full of thoughts at the moment, and suddenly recalled his college days.At that time, he was the young master of the famous Wang An Computer Company, but Li Zetian was a worthless poor ghost.But this poor man robbed his favorite woman, and later even founded the Apple company, and became the richest man in the world step by step, completely trampling him under his feet.This huge gap in heart made Wang Lie extremely unwilling.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a female secretary walked in.

"Chairman and CEO, just received the news that Chronos Li has issued an acquisition offer to Wang An Computer Company!"

As soon as the secretary's words fell, Wang Lie's face became very distorted in vain.

He, he actually wants to buy my company...

Wang An was much calmer. Seeing his son's ugly face, he knew that Li Zetian had a problem with him.

Wang An patted Wang Lie on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed: "We have no other choice now. If we don't talk to them, the bank will also split up Wang An Computer Company and auction it off. Wang An Computer Company!"

After Wang An said these words, he seemed to be 10 years older suddenly.

A lifetime of painstaking efforts was wasted.

Wang Lie said in a deep voice, "Dad, I can understand. I will negotiate with them."

"Um!!"

The old man nodded, then stood up slowly, preparing to leave the company and go to the hospital for recuperation.When he walked outside the building, he looked back at the headquarters of Wang An's company reluctantly, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "The era that belongs to me, Wang An, has passed..."

With a deep sense of exhaustion, the old man got into the car.

……

Li Zetian sent people to negotiate with Wang Lie, and when it was time to negotiate a contract, Li Zetian came forward.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

Wang Lie, who used to be rebellious and rebellious, has now become an ostrich with his head down, and he doesn't even have the courage to look up to Li Zetian.

"Master Wang, I told you before that I will buy Wang An Computer Company sooner or later, but you still don't believe me. Sign it now!" Li Zetian said lightly.

Wang Lie's expression changed for a while.

"Humiliation!"

"My Wang family has never been so humiliated!"

After a long while, Wang Lie finally picked up a pen and signed helplessly.

Brush brush!
Signing the contract quickly, Li Zetian acquired Wang An Computer Company for US$15 billion, most of which was used to repay debts.Wang An Computer Company is now heavily in debt and has poor performance. Not many people are willing to take over it. Li Zetian is willing to acquire it because Wang An Company is a Chinese company and the talents he has accumulated before.In addition, Li Zetian believes that with his golden touch, Wang An Computer Company can be brought back to life!
"The contract has been signed. From then on, Wang An Computer Company has nothing to do with your Wang family." Li Zetian handed the contract to Dongfang Yuqin casually, and said calmly, "Therefore, I want to change the name of Wang An Computer Company."

When Wang Lie heard this, his face became very pale?
Li Zetian glanced at him, and said, "Young Master Wang, seeing your embarrassment, is it uncomfortable?"

The word "Wang An" of Wang An Computer Company is a kind of honor, Li Zetian wants to change its name, is it tolerable, which is unbearable?However, the company completely belonged to Li Zetian, so it was his right to change the name, and what other people could do.

Wang Lie gritted his teeth, furious in his heart.

Li Zetian looked at Wang Lie's expression and felt very relieved.Li Zetian was not such a vengeful person originally, but he couldn't understand Wang Lie.Perhaps it was because Wang Lie once coveted Yu Jingqiu and played tricks on him, which made Li Zetian very disgusted with him.In addition, the arrogant attitude of Wang An and his son made Li Zetian very unhappy with them.

Forget it, seeing your pitiful appearance, I won't ridicule you anymore!
Li Zetian shook his head inwardly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a hint of a smile, then he stood up and left.

……

In a high-end villa in New York.

Li Zetian was sitting under a parasol, drinking cold beer, while Dongfang Yuqin was swimming in the open-air swimming pool.

"Mr. Li, Wang An Computer Company is losing money every year. Do you have any tricks to turn around the profit and loss?" Dongfang Yuqin was tired from swimming, so she came to sit next to Li Zetian and asked casually.

"The mountain people have their own tricks!" Li Zetian chuckled, "Kiss me once, and I'll tell you!"

"Hmph, I'm thinking of you, but you want to take advantage of me!" Saying so, Dongfang Yuqin's Qiushui eyes gave him a blank look, but her sexy red lips moved up and kissed Li Zetian's mouth .

Li Zetian smiled triumphantly, and pondered: "Wang An Computer Company needs to transform again! The electronic engineers and software engineers in the company are all excellent talents, and the products they develop are very good! In fact, in terms of product performance, Wang An The PCs developed by An Computer Company are more powerful than most of the current PCs, but because there is no third-party software support, the products cannot be sold at all!"

"You mean, let Wang An Computer Company develop a computer compatible with IBM-PC?"

"Well, that's right. The personal computer market is so big, Wang An Computer Company can take a piece of it!"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded, expressing understanding.

Li Zetian said at this time: "However, relying solely on personal computers is not enough. The company's products need to be diversified. From the beginning of its establishment to the present, Wang An Computer Company has accumulated a lot of technology and talents. Since word processors are outdated, then Just develop printers! In view of the strong development capabilities of Wang An Computer Company in electronic products, I think it can transform and develop home appliances, producing TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc..."

The reason why Li Zetian proposed to transform and develop home appliances is because he knows that LCD TVs are the future development direction. Seizing this opportunity, Wang An Computer Company will become a leader in the home appliance industry!
Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said: "Well, you are right, it is really good to transform printers and home appliances. Currently, the US home appliance market is occupied by RB electronics, and there are not many powerful American home appliance companies. This is our opportunity. Because American companies have local advantages over RB. In 1985, the United States signed the Plaza Accord, which clearly suppressed RB products!"

Li Zetian took a sip of beer and said with a smile, "Hehe, that's true."
