Chapter 328 Financial Giant!
In order to develop a genetic technology company, Li Zetian also worked hard.
Technology changes life!
Isn't it just to live a more exciting life by traveling through time and being reborn?
Li Zetian is an out-and-out science fiction movie fan. Genes, robots, artificial intelligence, Ark Energy, AR, VR, etc. are all things he is interested in. He even thought about developing the "optical brain" often seen in novels. In fact, in Li Zetian's opinion, an optical brain is an optical computer, which is made using the principle that the propagation speed of light is faster than the speed of electrons.
The optical brain breaks through the speed limit of silicon technology with a data transmission speed that is 10 times faster than traditional electronic devices.
Li Zetian read a news report in his previous life. Scientists from Harvard University in the United States announced in 2006 that using ultra-low temperature atoms to "freeze" and control light can form the "heart" of optical computers - the central processing unit (CPU).
In fact, at this time, the scientific community had already begun trying to create an optical brain and achieved some breakthroughs.
As technology research and development reaches a later stage, the investment will become larger, and the return on investment will take a long time. In some cases, all the money will be wasted, and things will not be developed yet.
Naturally, Dongfang Yuqin would not question Li Zetian's decision. Soon, the order was passed on and an acquisition offer was launched to BASF and Bayer.
The Japanese stock market crash and the chaos between Germany and Germany have had a great negative impact on the German economy. The timing of the acquisition is just right.
Li Zetian is very wealthy and offered a huge premium in order to win over BASF and Bayer.
BASF purchased the company for US$24 billion.
The purchase price of Bayer is US$15 billion.
In Li Zetian's dictionary, if the government did not interfere, he did not believe that there would be companies that could not be acquired even after spending crazy money.
Time passed day by day, and within a month, Genentech swallowed up Bayer.
Two months later, BASF was acquired by the umbrella company and became its subsidiary. At the same time, it was also announced that Li Zetian would officially enter the chemical energy market-oil and natural gas.
How could Li Zetian let go of Soviet oil?
After taking over BASF, the next step is to get oil and natural gas from the Soviet Union!
At this moment, the German media and business community were shocked.
Li Zetian previously acquired Carl Zeiss and TRUMPF in Germany, and now he has acquired Bayer and BASF. The German media have lamented that Li Zetian seems to be buying Germany.
The American media and people were also shocked. The two acquisitions of more than 10 billion US dollars were really amazing! ! !
"Chronos Li is too rich and domineering. He raised his hand and made two acquisitions worth over 10 billion US dollars!"
"Yeah, what's even more terrifying is that for such a large acquisition, there was no bank loan, but direct cash payment!"
"Yes, how can you be so rich?"
“This is the style of the world’s richest man!!!”
"..."
Over the years, Japanese people have been coming to the United States to buy real estate and land, but now people have discovered that the Japanese tycoon behavior is nothing. Li Zetian is always making acquisitions worth tens of billions of dollars. I want to ask you, are you convinced, are you convinced? ! !
Beverly Hills.
Dongfang Yuqin looked at Li Zetian with a half-smile and said, "Haha, the outside world is questioning where you got so much funds..."
Li Zetian has always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, but he thought that the bright moon in the dark night was so dazzling that it was difficult not to attract attention.
"There are so many people in the world who hate the rich, and they can't help others!" Li Zetian shook his head and said, "Let people reveal the information and say that they made money by investing in real estate in Japan!!! Our money came from clean and legal sources, so we are not afraid. Let others gossip and let them be envious and jealous!"
"Okay, then follow the orders of the world's richest man..." Dongfang Yuqin smiled.
However, when Dongfang Yuqin spread the news, it not only did not block Youyou's mouth, but also aroused heated discussion among people.
"Oh my god, it's so enviable and jealous!! Li Zetian is indeed a genius. He actually deduced that the US dollar was going to depreciate based on some clues, so he invested most of the funds before the 'Plaza Accord' was signed. Japanese real estate not only avoided the depreciation of the US dollar, but also made huge profits by investing in Japanese real estate. What’s even more amazing is that he sold most of the real estate before the Japanese stock market crash. Oh, he is simply the God of the investment world. He Everything you do is incredible!”
"Yes, Chronos Li is so awesome. I'm afraid he has made tens of billions of dollars. No wonder he can easily spend tens of billions of dollars to acquire companies!"
"..."
In front of Li Zetian's house, many reporters came to interview.
Some big names in the investment community came to visit Li Zetian, including stock investor Warren Buffett and financial tycoon George Soros.
George Soros is the founder of Quantum Fund. His rise has not yet begun. By 1992, he made a profit of US$2 billion by betting on the devaluation of the pound. George Soros's name became famous all over the world.
At this time, George Soros and his Quantum Fund are nothing.
However, Li Zetian did not look down upon Soros. When he learned that he had also come to visit, he specially invited him to his home to talk.
Li Zetian squinted his eyes and looked up and down at George Soros. He was in his fifties or sixties, with gray hair and a tall stature. His hands were extraordinarily big, like those of a basketball player. Li Zetian guessed that the old man might have liked playing basketball when he was young. . His eyes were bright and sparkling, attracting Li Zetian's attention, exuding a hint of wisdom and determination.
At this moment, Soros was also observing Li Zetian. He was really curious about Li Zetian. Soros was shocked by Li Zetian's various deeds. How could a person be so talented and create such huge wealth? Throughout history, even the founders of the Rockefeller family, who are as powerful as the Rockefeller family, have only made achievements in the oil field, and their wealth is not even one-tenth of Li Zetian's.
"Please take a seat, Mr. George Soros!" Li Zetian said with a smile.
"Thank you. It's a great honor to meet you this time, Mr. Li. Although you have not officially joined the investment community, you are a highly respected presence in our investment community!"
"Thank you for the compliment. As far as I know, Mr. Soros is also a genius in the investment world. He acts boldly and decisively. Quantum Fund is quite famous on Wall Street!" Li Zetian said.
It's okay to be praised by others. Li Zetian's praise made George Soros very proud. In addition, when he thought that so many investors on Wall Street wanted to meet Li Zetian but could not, but Soros did it, it showed that Li Zetian really valued him.
Soros had a smile on his face and said modestly: "Mr. Li, compared with you, I am far behind."
"That's because you haven't encountered a good opportunity. Once you encounter it, you will definitely become a blockbuster! Mr. Soros, do you mind if Quantum Fund Company adds a new shareholder?" After Li Zetian finished speaking, he looked at him with a smile.
