Chapter 312 Transformation!

"Mr. Li, Wang An Computer Company is in trouble!"

At around 11:30 a.m. on October 12, Dongfang Yuqin walked into Li Zetian's study and spoke.

Li Zetian was slightly surprised, but this was expected. Li Zetian was just a little emotional. In the United States, Wang An created a legend, and together with Li Zetian, they are known as the two heroes of the Chinese business community in the United States! However, by the mid-1980s, Wang An Computer Company collapsed.

Dongfang Yuqin said slowly: "Wang An Computer Company had also begun to realize the rise of personal computers before, and Wang An's son Wang Lie formulated a personal computer development project after taking over the company. However, because it was not compatible with the IBM-PC standard , and the result was a huge failure. When Wang An Computer Company was about to make changes, 32-bit personal computers came out, but Wang An Computer Company failed to keep up. Now, bankruptcy is imminent!"

"Haha, Wang An is arrogant and arrogant, and Wang Lie is mediocre. How can Wang An Computer Company not go bankrupt in the hands of their father and son? However, after all, Wang An Computer Company has great foundation and many talents. Send someone to take over!"

Li Zetian's tone was filled with contempt, and he suddenly thought of Wang An's arrogant words back then that Wang An Computer Company's turnover exceeded 3 billion US dollars and there was no way it would go bankrupt. However, within a few years, Wang An Computer fell into this 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 narrowed his eyes slightly. The bankruptcy of Wang An Computer Company was a wake-up call for him. The company that seems to be awesome now may lead to bankruptcy in the future if the company's leadership makes mistakes.

"Bill Gates in his previous life was right, a company will always only have 18 months before bankruptcy..." Li Zetian thought to himself. He couldn't help but start to look at the businesses under his name and found that most of them were doing very well. Excellent professional managers coupled with their grasp of the future trend have achieved such success! However, once the memory in my mind is used up, perhaps by then, the company's development direction will be very unclear...

Wang An Computer Company is not a small company. It was a very brilliant company from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Its products, word processors and minicomputers, were very popular, especially the Wang An word processor, which defeated IBM and became a monopoly. More than 60% of the world's market, and even the word processor used by the White House in the United States, is a product of Wang An Computer Company. In the United States, which is dominated by white people, why is it not shocking that there is such a company founded by a Chinese? !

Wang An himself was not only honored in the American Inventors Hall of Fame, but his wealth at his peak even made him one of the top ten richest people in the United States. Even U.S. President Ronald Reagan personally awarded him the highest civilian honor in the United States - the "Freedom of the President of the United States" medal"!

At present, such a legendary company suddenly filed for bankruptcy in the court, which immediately caused an uproar in the media and business community!

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

"dad!!!"

Wang Lie looked at his old father with white hair and a haggard face, speechless and choked.

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

At this time, Wang An finally realized that his original mistake was his own pride and arrogance, which ruined the entire company.

Wang An suddenly remembered his only meeting with Li Zetian, and it was still fresh in his memory.

"Haha, I came to the door arrogantly at that time. I was self-righteous and did not take the other party seriously. I even asked Chronos Li with an extremely strong attitude to ask Microsoft and Intel not to cooperate with IBM and to instead cooperate with Wang An Computer Company. Cooperate." Wang An said with a wry smile, "Looking back, I was really stupid and overestimated my capabilities at the time. Today, Microsoft's market value has exceeded 40 billion U.S. dollars, while Wang An Computer Company's market value is less than 2 billion U.S. dollars. , not even one-twentieth of others, it’s simply ridiculous!”

Wang Lie was also thinking a lot at this moment, and he 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 man. But this poor man stole his favorite woman, and later founded Apple and became the world's richest man step by step, completely trampling on him. This huge psychological gap made Wang Lie extremely unwilling.

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

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

As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Wang Lie's expression became very distorted.

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

Wang An was much calmer. Seeing his son's face so ugly, he knew that Li Zetian had a problem with him. It didn't matter if someone else bought Wang An Computer Company. Li Zetian came to buy Wang An Computer Company, which was hard for him to accept.

Wang An patted Wang Lie on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed: "At this point, we have no choice. If we don't talk to them, then the bank will split up Wang An Computer Company and auction it off, and there will be no more Wang An Computer Company!”

After Wang An said this, he seemed to have suddenly aged 10 years.

A lifetime of hard work has been wasted.

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

"Um!!"

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

Feeling deeply tired, the old man got into the car.

…

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

Hedong in thirty years, Hexi in thirty years.

The once unruly kings have now become ostriches with their heads lowered, and they don’t even have the courage to look up to Li Zetian.

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

Wang Lie's expression suddenly changed.

"What a humiliation!"

"Have our Wang family ever suffered such humiliation?"

After a while, Wang Lie finally reluctantly picked up the pen and signed.

Swish, brush, brush!

After quickly signing the contract, Li Zetian acquired Wang An Computer Company for US$1.5 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. Li Zetian is willing to acquire Wang An Computer Company because it is a Chinese company and has accumulated talents. 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 now on, Wang An Computer Company will have nothing to do with your Wang family." Li Zetian handed the contract to Dongfang Yuqin and said calmly, "Therefore, I want to change the name of Wang An Computer Company."

When Wang Lie heard this, his face turned very pale?

Li Zetian glanced at him and said, "Young Master Wang, don't you feel uncomfortable seeing your face looking so embarrassed?"

The word "Wang An" of Wang An Computer Company is a kind of honor. Li Zetian wants to change its name. Is it tolerable, but who is intolerable? However, the company completely belongs to Li Zetian. If he wants to change the name, it is naturally his right. What can others do?

Wang Lie gritted his teeth and was very angry.

Li Zetian looked at Wang Lie's expression and felt very comfortable. Li Zetian was not such a vengeful person originally, but he couldn't stand Wang Lie. Perhaps because Wang Lie once coveted Yu Jingqiu and caused harm to him, Li Zetian was very disgusted with him. In addition, the arrogant attitude of Wang An and his son also made Li Zetian very unhappy with them.

Forget it, seeing how pitiful you look, I won't ridicule you anymore!

Li Zetian shook his head inwardly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a smile, then stood up and left.

…

In a high-end villa in New York.

Li Zetian sat under the parasol, drinking cold beer, and Dongfang Yuqin swam in the open-air swimming pool.

"Mr. Li, Wang An Computer Company has been losing money every year. Do you have any clever tips to turn around its profits and losses?" Dongfang Yuqin got tired from swimming, so she came to sit down next to Li Zetian and asked casually.

"The mountain man has his own clever plan!" Li Zetian chuckled, "Kiss me and I will tell you!"

"Huh, I'm thinking about you, but you want to take advantage of me!" After saying this, Dongfang Yuqin's autumn eyes rolled her eyes at him, but her sexy red lips came up and kissed Li Zetian's mouth. .

Li Zetian smiled proudly and muttered: "Wang An Computer Company needs to transform again! The electronic engineers and software engineers in the company are all excellent talents, and the products developed are very good! In fact, in terms of product performance, Wang An The personal computer developed by An Computer Company is more powerful than most personal computers today, but because there is no third-party software support, the product 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 definitely get a share of the pie!"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded, indicating that he understood.

Li Zetian added at this time: "However, personal computers alone are not enough. The company's products need to be diversified. Wang An Computer Company has accumulated a lot of technology and talents from the beginning to the present. Since word processors are outdated, then Just develop printers! In view of Wang An Computer Company’s strong development capabilities in electronic products, I think we can transform into developing home appliances, producing televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc..."

The reason why Li Zetian proposed the transformation and development of home appliances is because he knew that LCD TVs were the future development direction. By seizing this opportunity, Wangan Computer Company would become a leader in the home appliance industry!

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said: "Well, you are right. It is indeed good to transform printers and home appliances. Currently, the US home appliance market is occupied by RB Electronics, and there are only a few strong US home appliance companies. This is our opportunity. Because American companies have local advantages over RB companies. In 1985, the United States signed the Plaza Accord, which was clearly suppressing RB products!"

Li Zetian took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "Haha, it's true."
