Rise of an Empire

If you were to say what the most domineering group in the world is in the twenty-first world, everyone can probably name it casually.

That is the Apple company that claims that six apple cores will flatten the world.

Before Conrad's time travel, Apple had stepped on Coca-Cola and punched Microsoft and Amazon, becoming the world's largest financial consortium with an estimated market value of more than one trillion US dollars.

And for such a terrifying giant, when it started, there were only three people and two thousand US dollars in start-up capital.

Now he holds a huge capital of 80 million U.S. dollars, plus he was more than ten years earlier than Gang Leader Qiao founded Apple. There is no reason to compare the differences.

What's more, he has a huge advantage

That's the cell phone.

Before Apple shined brightly, the most powerful company in the world's communications industry was Motorola, the dominant player in the mobile phone industry. As the first company to manufacture mobile phones, even Motorola, which was declining, still controlled a company worth hundreds of billions. the property of.

What kind of concept will be created when apples are added to motorcycles?

Conrad can be sure that he will definitely be able to monopolize the world's communications market in the future, and becoming the world's number one is simply a matter of chance.

"Is this mobile phone really as big a market as the Duke said?" Thrawn asked with some uncertainty after listening to Conrad's blueprint.

Now Bell has a complete monopoly on all landline phones, and although mobile phones have been manufactured a long time ago, they weigh more than 20 kilograms and are as big as a dynamite bag. They are not much bigger than mobile phones. Relationship.

Unless you can always find a strong man behind you to carry the huge chassis plus two suitcases of batteries.

"Believe me, Thrawn, the mobile phone business is definitely profitable." Conrad began to take over everything

Although he doesn't know anything, he can't stand being rich.

Besides, he has been using mobile phones for decades, so he naturally knows its development process.

And by the way, Conrad is also considering whether to bring Microsoft out in advance.

In the future, when the whole world is using their own mobile phones and computers, will everyone still have any secrets to themselves?

If you are engaged in electronic communications, even a fool would not believe it if you say that there are no backdoors hidden in your products.

In the end, Thrawn finally agreed to spend five million US dollars to establish the so-called fruit group.

Of course, if Conrad gives an order as his master, Thrawn will not object forcefully. As a good steward, he always gives priority to his master's orders, even if the order is wrong.

But for this old butler who worked hard to seek development for himself, Conrad still had some respect for him. It would be great if he could convince others with his virtue.

It's just that the name of this company seems to be a bit substandard.

After determining the long-term plan for the next thirty years, Conrad began to take Thrawn to study the short-term plan for the next few years.

After all, both strategically and tactically, everything needs to be coordinated to achieve stable development, right?

The research and development of mobile phones and personal computers requires long-term investment. There will definitely be no benefits in a short period of three to five years, and it can only be a bottomless pit.

Otherwise, Bell and ib would not have given up such a large market to others, right?

But fortunately, he now has a big family and a big business, so he can afford it.

In the past few days, Conrad racked his brains and wrote down all the black technology scientists in his memory. What he and Thrawn need to study now is to see if they can find a few of these black technology masters. can be used for oneself.

"Howard Stark can be crossed out." The Duke looked at the name at the top of the list and directly erased it with a red pen.

In any American comic book world, the Stark Group is an insurmountable peak. Both generations of Starks have almost stood at the pinnacle of human technology. It can be said that they are completely typical representatives of black technology.

But although Stark is good, it is impossible for him to use him.

On the one hand, the Stark Group is at its peak. Now Howard Stark's net worth is close to 700 million US dollars, which is nearly ten times higher than his net worth. It is simply impossible to condescend to work for him.

Second time

Howard is the authentic founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., a man who has sworn to fight against the Third Reich throughout his life. If you recruit him yourself, it will be more like having your brain kicked by a donkey.

"Anton Vanke is still in the honeymoon period with Stark, so he can't move for the time being, but in a few years, he can consider it." After looking at the second name, Conrad thought for a while and said.

His greatest advantage is that he is familiar with various plots, but if he does not convert this advantage into actual strength, it will be of no use at all.

So two days ago, the Duke directly directed and performed a ghost-possessed trick in front of the portrait of his cheap father in the secret room.

Conrad pretended to be a ghost father, and then muttered a bunch of spells that he didn't know what they were. After waking up, he claimed that he had been guided and gained the ability to predict within a certain range.

This plan to deceive the country bumpkins would definitely not be able to deceive Thrawn and Gudrun, but in the first place, the two of them had no idea why Conrad wanted to deceive them.

Secondly, they are all die-hard fans of Daddy, so even if they are 99% sure that Conrad directed and acted in the drama, there is still a chance that it is really the 1% What's the probability?

"Is this Anton Vanke very powerful?" Thrawn looked at Conrad in astonishment and muttered to himself, slowly starting to pay attention to the farce two days ago.

"Yes, although this guy's scientific research ability is not as good as Howard, it is not much worse. It's just that now he should be monitored by the guys from the Ministry of Defense, and we can't do anything," Conrad nodded and said.

Anton Vanke's greatest contribution in his life was probably the invention of the Ark Reactor with Howard. However, he had a falling out with Howard as soon as he built this thing, and he was kicked out of the United States by the other party in the name of a military spy and deported back to the Soviet Union.

So, even though Howard looks so polite, he actually hates bad things in his heart.

You must know that Anton Vanke originally absconded from the Soviet Union to the United States. Now that Howard has sent him back to the Soviet Union, it is simply more cruel than killing him.

The Soviet Union under the leadership of Comrade Starring is definitely not a charity. In the original work, Anton Vanke should have been directly sent to a labor camp in Siberia, and then a generation of black technology masters were exhausted to death in the labor camp.
