At the end of December 2002, Henry and others returned to California from Hawaii.

The investigation team sent by the United Nations to investigate Iraq at this time has already produced results. They said they had not found any nuclear and biological weapons of mass destruction. As soon as the news came out, the United States immediately opposed it. President Bush said: "Iraq must have made preparations in advance to destroy nuclear and biological weapons, so as long as you find signs of their destruction, you can also prove Iraq's crimes!"

Forced by the strength of the United States, the United Nations once again sent an investigation team to investigate the signs of destruction of weapons in Iraq!

Henry read the news and was speechless. Sure enough, there is nothing to blame for the crime!

Henry couldn't help thinking, a weak country has no diplomacy, and a weak country will be bullied. What should Madagascar do in the future? !

Henry felt big when he thought of this.

At the end of the year, the company's financial statements came out again.

The performance of the company under Henry's name is booming, with revenue reaching 85,000 U.S. dollars and profitability as high as 300 billion U.S. dollars. However, Japan's gDP was only US$15,000 this year. Although the revenue of gDP and the company is different, there is so much difference, and the gap between the two can be seen!

At this time, a company's financial statements caught Henry's attention. But this company is not Henry's company, but Lucent!

Lucent is a telecommunications equipment company backed by Bell Labs and is a competitor to Cisco.

Henry looked at Lucent’s financial statements and couldn’t help but smile. Lucent lost US$14.7 billion last year, and this year it lost another US$10.5 billion. Lucent’s stock price plummeted as soon as the financial report came out. When Lucent was founded, it had strong capital and Bell Labs as a technical backing. Its market value was as high as US$200 billion. It is a pity that Lucent’s market value has been less than 30 billion U.S. dollars after years of losses. At this moment, the company still has liabilities of 5.54 billion U.S. dollars, and it has reached the brink of bankruptcy.

Henry had coveted Bell Labs for a long time, and he only hated that he could never buy it. But now the opportunity is here! As long as the acquisition of Lucent, it is equivalent to owning Bell Labs! At the same time, n multiple technology patents can be obtained. Regardless of what Lucent’s losses are now, its market value is still close to 30 billion U.S. dollars because of Bell Labs and a large number of patents! At present, the company that has the strength and is more interested in acquiring Lucent is probably only Alcatel of France.

The two began contacting each other in 2001, but they have never reached an agreement. Now, Lucent is on the verge of bankruptcy. Presumably, Alcatel is also aware of the opportunity.

The combination of Alcatel and Lucent undoubtedly created a big problem for Cisco. In addition, Cisco's current development has encountered a bottleneck, and it needs to acquire large companies to expand its business and technology. Warwick is gradually rising in China. Henry has realized that Cisco's crisis is coming, so he feels that it is necessary to make Cisco stronger.

The combination of Cisco and Lucent should be the best combination! With Bell Labs as its technical backing force, Cisco will surely be even more powerful!

Henry immediately took out his cell phone and dialed the cell phone number of Cisco CEO John Chambers.

"Hi, hello, Chambers, this is Henry Williams!"

"Hello, Chairman, what's the matter?"

Henry said directly: "Did you read Lucent's annual financial statements?"

"Look, Lucent lost another $10.5 billion!" John Chamberston paused and asked, "The chairman intends to let Cisco buy Lucent?"

"That's right!" Henry said, "After acquiring Lucent, we divest the loss-making industry and sell it! Cisco only needs to keep the essence of Lucent!"

"Okay, then I will prepare right away!" John Chambers said.

"En!" Henry nodded and hung up.

...

With Cisco's strength, Henry is not worried that Lucent will not be acquired unless the US government prevents it. But at the moment, the company that acquired Lucent should have only two companies, one is a French company and the other is an American company. As long as the head of the US government is not burned out, obviously it should know how to choose.

Henry came to the Williams Center at this time and took his own name to the company, including Apple, Williams Electronics, icq, Nicholas International E-commerce, Google, Firefly Games, Facebook, ImDB, YouTube, LinkedIn, hospital and most of the Internet. The company's CEOs all called over to have an important meeting!

In the large conference room, dozens of people sat down according to the seat with the name written on the chair, each looking at each other, full of doubts. Henry had never called them all over for a meeting before. This was the first time!

"What's going on? How did Mr. Williams call us all over?"

"Yeah! I really don't know why! Is there something important to announce!"

"..."

The public could not help but discuss in a low voice.

At this moment, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened, and Henry walked in in a white casual dress.

"Hello Mr. Williams!!!"

Such a large group of powerful people can call the wind and the rain outside, but at this moment, like a primary school student, when they see the teacher, they immediately stand up ~lightnovelpub.net~ to show respect.

"En..." Henry nodded slightly at them, walked straight to the first place and sat down.

"Stop standing, sit down!"

After Henry's words were finished, everyone just sat back on their chairs.

"Presumably, everyone is very curious, why I called you all over for a meeting today!" Henry said, turning his eyes to Apple CEO Jobs, "Jobs, you can tell everyone the reason!"

"Okay!" Jobs nodded in response, and then connected the macBook on the table to the LCD screen in the conference room.

"Everyone, in fact, Mr. Williams called everyone here this time because he wanted everyone to enter a brand new field-mobile Internet!!!" Jobs paused, glanced at everyone, and said, "At this moment, someone should be there. Ask, what is the mobile Internet? In fact, the mobile Internet is the Internet of mobile terminals. For example, a mobile phone is a mobile terminal!"

"Next, I will solemnly introduce to you an invention that can change the world-the iPhone smartphone!!!"

With that, a photo suddenly appeared on the LCD screen of the conference room. It was a simple and beautiful thing with a screen in the middle and a circular button at the bottom of the screen. Good-looking things are good-looking, but is this still a mobile phone? Where are the buttons? ?

Many people present were full of doubts.

"Mr. Jobs, is this the iPhone smartphone you are talking about?"
