Chapter 414 Powerful Chronos Industry!
Internet companies were originally very expensive companies. They were favored by investors and invested almost crazyly, which allowed these Internet companies to continue. However, after the bursting of the Internet bubble, investors fled and avoided them, which led to bankruptcy and bankruptcy of a large number of Internet companies.
It can be said that the entire Internet market is in sluggish, and there are very few companies that can survive the Internet winter.
Li Zetian was very relaxed and watched the flowers in the garden. He was the biggest winner in this Internet economic crisis. Now all he had 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 waiting time may not be too long...
At present, 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 funds on hand and has nowhere to spend.
In Li Zetian's opinion, putting money into the bank is the stupidest choice, so we need to find new investment projects.
However, for the sake of his own security, it is necessary to establish a powerful arms company. If Li Zetian owns an extremely powerful 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 9/11 incident in the United States, terrorists became a little rampant, and they were all a group of desperate people. If there were no high-tech weapons, Li Zetian was unsure.
You should know that a super rich man like him, a trillion-dollar dollar must be one of the primary goals of terrorists, especially during this Internet economic crisis, Li Zetian cashed out trillions of dollars in funds. This is obvious to all, and it cannot be concealed.
And so much money is enough to make the terrorists take risks. Even if Li Zetian has so many bodyguards around him, it cannot suppress the other party's greed!
Therefore, Li Zetian was very anxious to develop more advanced high-tech weapons and equipment for bodyguards to use to protect the safety of himself and his family.
Of course, we must also strengthen the research and development efforts in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, robots, energy, biological genes, new materials, etc.
In early August, Coronos Industrial reorganized and transferred its LCD department to Samsung. Samsung was originally at the world-class level in the LCD field, but now, with the LCD section of Coronos Industrial, it can be said to be a strong combination.
From now on, Coronos Industry will be an arms company.
Li Zetian plans to develop Coronos Industry into Stark's arms company similar to Iron Man, and it is best to develop Iron Man's suit 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, so Li Zetian is naturally not allowed to acquire them. Therefore, Li Zetian can only acquire arms companies with medium and low-level strength.
Li Zetian has always adhered to one principle: If you don’t do it, you will be fine. If you want to do it, you must do your best!
Although it can only acquire arms companies of medium and low level, as long as you poach people with high salary and increase R&D efforts, you will sooner or later technology will catch up. What's more, Li Zetian's acquisition target is not limited to the United States, but looks at countries around the world. Any arms companies with development potential are Li Zetian's acquisition targets.
Coronos Industry does not belong to American companies, but international large arms companies that supply weapons to countries around the world.
Since August, Coronos Industry has begun acquisitions in a burgeoning manner.
Within just one month, it acquired seven small and medium-sized arms companies, costing US$24 billion.
The acquisition operation is just the beginning.
Li Zetian is a person who cherishes his life. He used to invest in the development of gene technology companies. Now, in order to develop arms companies, it is impossible to spend only US$24 billion. The acquisition is in full swing. Companies from many military powers such as the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Israel, etc. have been acquired by Li Zetian. If they cannot acquire the other party's company, they can buy the other party's technology or poach the other party's talents with high salaries.
Li Zetian doesn’t believe it, and he can’t even make a powerful arms company if he spends money!
Lockheed Martin in the United States is strong, it is one of the top arms companies in the United States. However, its market value is only tens of billions of dollars.
...
"Acquiring arms companies is no different than acquiring other companies, and many countries have come forward to stop them!" Dongfang Yuqin sighed slightly.
On October 5, after Coronos Industrial successively acquired 19 small and medium-sized arms companies, European and American countries were afraid that Coronos Industrial would be too powerful and came forward to obstruct it.
Li Zetian curled his lips and was very disdainful of these countries.
However, since they came forward to stop him, Li Zetian did not plan to continue to acquire.
"Yuqin, I think it can be incorporated into Coronos Industry by Space Exploration Company and Evolution Robot Company!" Li Zetian thought to himself, thinking, since you stop me from acquiring other companies, then I won't buy it, but I can do whatever I want to do.
Space Exploration and Evolution Robot are both high-tech companies, and many of the technologies involved can be used for the development of arms weapons.
Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said, "This idea is OK! The 19 small and medium-sized arms companies acquired by Coronos Industrial are in a world-class position in their own field. Even if they are not as good as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other companies, they can be regarded as the world's top arms companies."
"The team of space exploration companies originated from the Soviet Union and has always been in the world's leading position in the aerospace field. The merger of Coronos Industry and Space Exploration Company is definitely not part of Lockheed Martin or Boeing."
"If we add the world's largest robot company, Coronos Industry is simply too powerful and has unlimited possibilities in the future!!!"
After Dongfang Yuqin finished speaking, her eyes were filled with yearning and expectation.
Li Zetian also looked excited. He combined so many awesome companies and joined forces, and I wonder what kind of magic sparks would be created!!
"Finish!!! Just do it as I just said, let's set up a super awesome arms company!!!"
"Okay!" Dongfang Yuqin replied with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, Colt Company has brought you a gift!" Dongfang Yuqin suddenly said, and then she found a box with exquisite packaging under the cabinet.
Colt is one of the 19 arms companies acquired by Colonos Industries, mainly producing light weapons.
In fact, Colt is a famous American firearms company and has become a household name since the Civil War of the United States. Among them, Colt pistols are the most famous firearms in the late 19th century. More than a hundred years after their inception, there have been as many as 30 million revolver pistols, rifles and other types of weapons produced by Colt Company, and no other weapon company can match it.
However, the threshold for light weapons is much lower than that of heavy weapons. Colt has many competitors and now it has lost its glory as it used to be. In 1984, the decision of the US military to withdraw the m1911a1 pistol caused an unexpected blow to Colt. In 1988, Colt lost the contract for the US government to order the m16 rifle, which was tantamount to a catastrophic blow to the company.
According to Li Zetian, on the evening of June 14, 2015, Colt announced that the company was filing for bankruptcy protection.
As the saying goes, "a lean camel is bigger than a horse." Colt is still a world-class light weapons manufacturing company. Besides, it has such a brilliant history, so Li Zetian chose to acquire it. Li Zetian believes that as long as the investment is increased, more advanced weapons can be developed. At that time, employees of Umbrella International Security Company can be equipped with guns produced by their own companies, saving a lot of costs.
"Looking at the size of this box, I guess, the one that Colt Company gave me should be a pistol!" Li Zetian said with a smile, while opening the box.
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and didn't say anything, but she already affirmed Li Zetian's guess from her expression.
Soon, a classic Colt m1911 pistol was presented to you.
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 a standard pistol for the US military and has been maintained for 74 years (1911 to 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 production in history! Your m1911 pistol is one of the first batch of m1911 pistols produced by Colt that year, and it is very valuable for collection!"
After a pause, Dongfang Yuqin said, "I heard that someone outside is willing to spend $80,000 to buy an m1911 pistol."
Li Zetian nodded and picked up m1911, feeling that the touch was very good.
"A very good gift, I like it very much!" Li Zetian put the m1911 pistol in a glass cabinet and decorate the study as a display. As for the bullet, it is placed in the drawer of a wooden cabinet. The gun and the bullet are separated to be safer. William, a naughty child, likes to play with guns, and may not steal the gun from him to play...
Next, Space Exploration and Evolution Robot were merged into Coronos Industry and became two divisions of Coronos Industry: space-x and robot-x.
Coronos Industry began to establish larger branches, laboratories and factories around the world, and concentrated the resources of each company together. From their own combat to their coordinated operations, it has developed in total!
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 piece of information for Li Zetian, which was full of Li Zetian's industries.
Li Zetian looked at it and handed the information to Yu Jingqiu.
After Yu Jingqiu finished reading it, her face was filled with shock: "So many companies!!!"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Who made us more money?! You know, money makes money, so we naturally have a lot of companies we invested in and bought!"
After a pause, Li Zetian laughed and said, "I want the whole universe to know that the entire earth has been contracted by our family!!!"
Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin were speechless.
"Okay, just a joke!" Li Zetian took back his cynical expression and said seriously, "There are so many companies now, and the management is very chaotic. I have an idea, planning to carry out a major institutional reform of the company, streamline the company, and integrate it into more than ten departments: energy, biology, medical care, food, electronics, network, artificial intelligence, finance, daily chemicals, arms, etc.... Coronos Industry is an example, integrating multiple companies into one company, with resource optimization and higher efficiency!"
Dongfang Yuqin nodded and agreed: "Well, I am very supportive of this. In addition, I suggest that companies with low technical content, low profits, and even losses can be sold!"
"Well," Li Zetian touched his chin and pondered: "The entire company reform group involves many issues, and it is not urgent. Yuqin, please let our think tank team come up with a feasible plan first!"
Chapter completed!
