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


    At this time, the UN investigation mission sent to Iraq had already had the results. They said that they had not found any nuclear weapons or 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 its nuclear and biological weapons, so as long as we find signs of their destruction, we can also prove Iraq''s crimes."


    Forced by the strength of the United States, the United Nations once again sent an investigation mission to investigate the destruction signs of Iraq''s weapons research!


    Henry read the news and was speechless. Sure enough, if you want to add to the crime, why not!


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


    At the thought of it, Henry''s head swelled.


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


    Henry''s company is booming, with revenue of 85000 US dollars and net profit of 500 billion US dollars. Japan''s GDP in this year is only 15000 US dollars, although the GDP and the company''s revenue is not the same, but the difference is so much, you can see the difference between the two!


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


    Lucent is a telecommunication equipment company backed by Bell Labs, and is a competitor with Cisco.


    Henry looked at Lucent''s financial statements and couldn''t help laughing. Last year, Lucent lost $14.7 billion, and this year it lost another $10.5 billion. As soon as the financial report came out, Lucent''s share price plummeted. When lucent was founded, it had abundant capital and Bell Labs as the technical backing. Its market value was as high as US $200 billion. Unfortunately, Lucent''s market value has been less than 30 billion US dollars due to years of losses. At this moment, the company still has 5.54 billion US dollars in debt, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.


    Henry coveted Bell Labs for a long time, only to hate that he could not buy it. But now it''s time! As long as the acquisition of Lucent, it is equivalent to the Bell Labs! At the same time, we can get more than n technology patents. Although lucent is losing money now, its market value is still close to 30 billion US dollars because of Bell Labs and a large number of patents! At present, Alcatel of France is probably the only company that has strength and is more interested in acquiring lucent.


    The two began to contact in 2001, but there has been no agreement. Now, Lucent is on the verge of bankruptcy. Presumably, Alcatel is also aware of the opportunity.


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


    The combination of Cisco and Lucent should be the best combination! With Bell Labs as the technical support, Cisco is sure to be more powerful!


    Henry immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Cisco CEO John Chambers'' mobile number.


    "Hello, chambers, I''m Henry Williams!"


    "Hello, chairman. What can I do for you?"


    Henry said directly, "have you read Lucent''s annual financial statements?"


    "Look, Lucent has lost another $10.5 billion!" John Chambers pauses and asks, "is the chairman going to let Cisco buy lucent?"


    "That''s right!" Henry said, "after the acquisition of Lucent, the loss making industry will be stripped out and sold! CISCO can only leave the essence of lucent.


    "OK, I''ll get ready right away!" Said John chambers.


    "Yes Henry nodded and hung up.


    ……


    With the strength of Cisco, Henry is not worried that he will not be able to acquire lucent unless it is stopped by the US government. But at present, there should be only two companies to acquire lucent, one is a French company and the other is an American company. As long as the head of the U.S. government is not burned, it should obviously know how to choose.


    Henry then came to the Williams center and called the CEOs of most Internet companies in his name, including apple, Williams electronics, ICQ, Nicholas, international e-commerce, Google, firefly games, Facebook, IMDB, youtube, LinkedIn, hospital and so on, to hold a very important meeting!


    In the large conference room, dozens of people sat down according to the seats with names written on the chairs and looked at each other, full of doubts. Before, Henry had never called them all to a meeting. This was the first time!


    "What''s going on? How did Mr. Williams get us all here? "


    "Yes! I don''t know why! Is there anything important to announce? "


    “……”


    The public can''t help talking in a low voice.


    Then the door of the conference room suddenly opened and Henry came in wearing a white casual suit.


    "Hello, Mr. Williams!"


    Such a large group of powerful people who can call the wind and rain outside are just like primary school students who stand up to show respect when they see their teachers.


    "Well..." Henry nodded to them, went straight to the top and sat down.


    "Don''t stand, sit down!"


    When Henry''s words were over, they all sat back in their chairs.


    "You must be very curious. Why did I call you all here for a meeting today?" Henry said, turning to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, "Steve, you tell us why!"


    "All right!" Jobs nodded, then connected the MacBook on his desk to the LCD screen in the conference room.


    "Everyone, actually, Mr. Williams called you here to let you enter a new field - Mobile Internet!" Jobs stopped for a moment, glanced at the crowd and said, "at this moment, someone should ask, what is 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 is enough to change the world - iPhone smart phone!"


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


    Many people present were full of doubts.


    "Mr. jobs, is this what you call the iPhone smartphone?"
