Chapter 0977 - Let the Government Pay
The matter about Adams is only a small part of the report, and Ben is more about the defense of the situation overseas.
As the Allies counteroffensive, more and more of the land returned to the Allied leaders.
Although the system has been shaken and the local economy has been almost completely dissolved, normal business activities have begun to resume.
These countries are at war, they are in ruins, and there are business opportunities everywhere.
The Pacific Ocean was full of Allied fleets and had also become relatively safe.
I wanted to resume trade with the Far East and make Hualian (Huaguo) busy again.
In addition, IBM has also made good progress in the face of the war, and it has been found to be able to be used in various fields.
Expensive, sophisticated and sophisticated.
But it can replace the calculations of hundreds, thousands.
What's more important is time, and every day it saves creates value.
This is even more true for the military, which has been procured by the War Department, the War Department, the Treasury Department and the Commerce Department.
The FBI also wants to buy it for the R&D use of its partner institutions.
However, considering the contradictions between the two sides, perhaps fearing that Li Zitao would have people do some kind of seizure and for the sake of secrecy, the great Director Hoover rejected the proposal.
This made Li Zitao a little regretful, and he still wanted to make a fortune from Director Hoover's pocket!
IBM's development is not much different from Li Zitao's expectations.
If you look at it seriously, it will be slower than he expected, but it is a patent that IBM recently purchased that has made Li Zitao quite interested.
Speaking of this patent, it is also related to a Hollywood actress.
"Heidi Lamarr, I think you'll have an impression of her, boss. Ben looked at him with a playful smile.
Heidi...
Li Zitao's mind immediately appeared with a stunning face, with a strong and undisguised **, like a blooming and delicate rose.
"Yes, I remember. "There have been a few times when he went out to sea, and Heidi brought him a lot of pleasant memories.
She and a pianist invented the frequency-hopping technique, which they wanted to use on fish, using a device for an automatic piano tube to control fish. ”
In order to shape the image of the country, Heidi persuaded the pianist to provide the patent to the American government free of charge.
It's just that there is discrimination against women and distrust of pianists, and the government does not apply it to the war.
In the words of the Army's Propaganda Department: 'If you are truly patriotic, use your pretty face to sell more war bonds!'
That's hurtful. Li Zitao crossed the Pixiu in his hand and smiled.
This handle, which was first obtained from the old man West, has always been kept in his long office place, and he always likes to play with it when talking.
Li Zitao believes that this will make him think better and focus better.
After all these years of playing, Pixiu has become brighter and more transparent, and Lawrence once wanted to pay 1 million US dollars to buy it.
The answer, of course, was a no.
For Li Zitao, the most important thing in this life is money, but there are fewer and fewer things that can interest him.
As his favorite handlebar, Pixiu is priceless.
Of course, man is fickle, and if one day he doesn't like it, maybe he will give it directly to Lawrence.
Engineers believe that this technology can play a key role in the development of computers, and IBM is already working on it. ”
"Accelerating experiments with distributed local networks, I hope to see results before the end of the war. For the development of the electronics industry, Li Zitao can't wait for others to do it.
Now the whole world is immersed in the war, and when the war is over, the United States will be immersed in the good life again.
Farming was restored, the soldiers were returned to the factories, and people enjoyed a peaceful and good life.
It wasn't until the 50s that the electronics industry was really taken seriously, and 20 years later, ARPANET was born.
Li Zitao didn't have time to wait so long, he wanted to see the arrival of the Internet era as soon as possible, to be able to surf the Internet, read all kinds of information, and query materials and information.
Play games, watch movies, enjoy hey, hey, hey...
That's the life he wants, not the one he has to face every day on a record player, a radio, and a TV with only a few TV shows.
When it comes to TV, it has been the hottest public topic since the war.
For this immature industry, which is transforming into a mature industry, people have given great tolerance and patience.
Many families are willing to pay a lot of money for this TV, which often has no signal, only 5 channels, and several films broadcast repeatedly.
Moreover, it is also fragile.
If you are not careful, all kinds of small problems will occur, and repairs can be a big expense.
In this era when everything is repaired in advance, not replaced, a large number of TV repair shops have naturally emerged.
And then there is a flock of people who want to gamble, or see its prospects, or hope that it will replace the old.
Various downstream producers and TV assembly companies have sprung up.
Capital is always keen, and investors who smell the smell of blood (money) no longer wait and see, and begin to try to bet on their own promising companies.
The most dazzling of these is, of course, the LNC brand owned by the Los Angeles News Corporation.
It has downstream production to upstream assembly, sales channels to brand effect, and its own radio network.
Whether it is in terms of the quality of TV, picture, sound quality, or the stability of the line and the novelty of the program, it is a well-deserved leader.
This is not surprising at all within the company.
They are about 4 years ahead of other brands and investors, from R&D, line laying, to program shooting.
Until LNC was actually listed, it was 4 years of accumulation and millions of dollars of investment.
If, in the case of being ahead of their opponents, and having rich money, they are still surpassed by others, their existence will be worthless.
"So far, LNC has sold about 8,000 units in North America, with a net loss of 802,500 yuan in the quarter, and sales are expected to increase by 500% in the next quarter. ”
"Are you sure you can sell 50,000 units?" It's not that Li Zitao doesn't trust Ben, but the current situation makes him unable to see where the audience is.
"Boss, you forgot about the soldiers who are about to return home. Ben smiled mysteriously and explained what gave him confidence.
In places like the Pacific, East Asia, and Africa, many soldiers from the end of the war are about to return home.
A large number of them will be disbanded on the spot, return to their families, and live in peace again.
Only a small number of elites will be sent again to the rest of the world for more difficult missions.
And these soldiers who have returned home, they will soon have a large sum of money in their hands.
For soldiers who have been tortured and glittered by war, what could be happier than watching TV with their families at home?
DreamWorks even made several comedies for this purpose, which were enough to make them forget the troubles and tragic scenes on the battlefield.
"The think tank is in talks with the War Department that, if successful, the TV will be part of the mental reassurance program for veterans, and the purchase of the TV will be subsidized by the government. ”
Speaking of this, Ben proudly raised his eyebrows, and the serious forehead lines and his shiny head made people feel spicy.
