Chapter 713: Charlie's Law

IBM, later generations are called the blue giant.
Although IBM was almost crushed by its own huge system and bloated body for some time, it still survived and became more powerful.
Maybe someone will sing IBM, say HP, Microsoft, Intel, is the mainstream of the future.
Maybe even Lenovo will be mentioned.
Li Zitao can only say that what they see is the surface, and the IBM that is truly lurking in the water is still a formidable deep-sea giant.
In the cutting-edge defense, military, research, and experimental fields, IBM firmly controls these markets.
Create PC concepts, standards, and invent servers.
IBM is unmatched in technology research and development. The huge R&D team can create 20,000+ new patents for it every year.
It has more patents than the top 11 IT companies, including HP, Intel, Sun, Microsoft, and Dell.
Perhaps many of these people do not have a clear concept, so let's talk about grounded gas.
What happens if IBM and the products he mastered are gone?
That is, you will find all ATMs, supermarket radios, gas stations, hospital systems, etc. These service support systems are gone.
The next day you will find that the banking system is closed, companies are on holiday, all scientific research projects are announced to be suspended, the network is interrupted, and university lectures...
Because these are closely related to life, the most basic originals supporting these systems are all provided by IBM.
People in the IT industry know that as long as they come from IBM, no matter where you go, someone will rush to ask for it.
The so-called top ten IT industry, they provide services for the people, provide services for enterprises, and IBM provides services for them, it is the existence of the top of the IT food chain.
Of course, this is not to say that IBM can point fingers at other companies and arbitrarily slaughter.
It should be said that they have reached a balance. IBM firmly controls the cutting-edge market, so the personnel transfer and news about it rarely appear in the media.
The main target of other IT industry sales is the public, and naturally it will receive more attention.
This is like being in front of and behind the scenes. People always pay attention to the dazzling stars in front of the stage, but it is difficult to imagine what kind of huge team is behind the scenes.
"Lawrence, I am very interested in a new company you invest in." God sent it to his mouth, and Li Zitao naturally wanted to bite hard.
When he learned that he wanted to increase his investment in IBM, although Lawrence didn't understand the reason, he still agreed readily.
Looking back at Li Zitao's journey from his fortune to the present, many people made stupid and blind decisions at the time, and slapped them hard in the end.
At first, no one cared. Oscar, which was only used as an awards platform, had begun to exert its influence in Hollywood and the film and television industry.
The public began to regard the Oscar standard as a "viewing guide," and many actors and directors also regarded it as a recognition and rating standard for their achievements.
A director or actor who can obtain an Oscar will be paid 3 to 5 times after the award, even for those nominated.
The most ridiculous thing is that Li Zitao bought a lot of ‘abandoned’ land from JP Morgan, and then the black gold buried under the ‘waste soil’ was worth hundreds of billions.
Osbourne's cutting-edge medical laboratory invented penicillin at the international research and development center of the skunk factory, which is an eye-catching weapon in the arms manufacturing industry.
The underground of the Los Angeles Bunker Division was officially named Stark Weapon Research Laboratory. These forward-looking layouts make him a darling of the times.
There was also silver that made Wall Street shock his chin. Even the old consortium family had not received any news. How did he anticipate Roosevelt's development.
Li Zitao made more than 1 billion dollars in this two-month transaction.
No organization, even a country, can regard it as a small sum of money.
A billion dollars is enough to buy half of Africa in terms of value alone.
As for how he did it, Lawrence did not believe that Roosevelt would so kindly take the initiative to remind him that as president he was not so stupid.
Combining this information, Lawrence drew a conclusion, but all industries that Li Zitao is concerned about, will make people startle.
Lawrence referred to'It': Charlie's Law.
For example, Wells Fargo’s sudden capital injection into the Los Angeles News Group company, ARC news got his special attention.
But with the current magnitude of LANC, Lawrence is very unlikely to get involved.
So he set his sights on basic manufacturing and invested in several small companies capable of producing TV accessories and mastering advanced or breakthrough technologies.
The TV industry is not investing enough now, but because it is in the imperfection of development, there will be "innovative technology" every day.
A small progress, a slight difference in frequency stability, a speed of propagation, a slight improvement in image quality, or a change in appearance are all ‘innovative’ breakthroughs.
After Lawrence's attention and support, he personally dispatched representatives to ensure that most of the funds would be used to invest in research and development, and the development of several companies showed rocket rocket.
They have already attracted the attention of ARC, but the two parties are still in preliminary contact. Whether they can attract ARC's interest and acquisition depends on whether their technology is really useful~EbookFREE.me~ or a flashy illusion.
Now, Li Zitao turns his attention to IBM again, so what must be attracting it, or is he seeing the potential of this company different from ordinary people?
After finishing the call, Lawrence sat in his office on Broadway for a long time, and didn't call the secretary until he was about to leave work.
"Help me contact Mr. Thomas J. Watson of IBM and say...I want to talk to him about the next cooperation plan." Lawrence smiled treacherously.
He couldn't wait to share the cake with'Lucky Charlie', just wondering how big this cake is and whether he can fill his stomach.
"Well? I have to think of a reason to impress Mr. Watson. Now IBM doesn't take much money..." Lawrence frowned with a headache after the secretary left.
The performance of IBM's laboratory is staggering. Its card counting machine has already occupied 90% of the market in North America.
Faster, better, and more reliable products than others allow them to get the Roosevelt New Deal accounting project contract in 34 years.
Washington's cake to stimulate the market, IBM has also divided into a small piece, if you simply use money, it is difficult to achieve a holding.
Unless Lawrence is willing to drive up the company’s valuation and buy IBM’s shares at a price that outsiders see as a ‘fool’, it may be able to impress its board members.
Whether or not to do so, Lawrence was hesitant. He didn’t have the ‘memory of Li Zitao’s knowledge of the future. Naturally, he would not know what kind of behemoth the future blue giant would be.
No matter what kind of investment, in the end it is all in terms of income, if the price he raises far exceeds the value of IBM.
He really became a ‘silly fork,’ and this label will always be stuck on his head in the future, making him a laughing stock in the investment community.
