Chapter 1093

"Are you going to IBM today?"

"Yes, I'm going to IBM."

"Can I come with you?"

"Yes, I can."

Looking at McGill, who needs Denny's help to get on the bus, Li Zitao doubts if he is too kind.

Now the little bastard doesn't even call "Dad," or "Hello," "Hey," "that." Otherwise, it's going straight to the subject as before.

"At least, it proves that he is not a long winded man." Li Zitao comforts himself.

"Thomas, this is McGill This is Mr. Thomas Watson, the CEO of IBM. "

"Leon soran, lab director The head of the lab, Carlos... "

After introducing all the people to McGill, he stayed in the laboratory with great interest. Although the laboratory here is not as good as that in California, he doesn't know.

Li Zitao thinks that he is making himself angry, maybe to revenge himself for not accompanying him, or he doesn't care at all, who knows!

"Are kids so annoying?" Looking at McGill's back, Li said with a wry smile.

"Headache? Come on, it's just the beginning. It's only when you're in the ground that you're really free. " Speaking of children, Thomas is more helpless.

His son hardly talks to him. His eldest son, who works as a lighting engineer in Hollywood, earns a meager monthly salary and lives in an apartment that can be heard all over the building as long as the water is flushed.

The second son, who lives in Brooklyn in New York, is a fashion designer, although no one has invested in his designs so far That pile of stuff.

Old three and four stay with him, and all they need to do is eat daddy.

The fifth, that is, his little daughter, is the most reassuring thing for Thomas. She is going to university. I hope that this time she won't be disappointed again.

"I'm lucky to see that." Hearing about Thomas, Li Zi Tao felt that he was about to open the champagne.

Are the children sent to torture?

At the end of his little complaint, Li Zitao accepted them again. He was not a bear child when he was a child.

"IBM has been burning money, so tell me some good news this time." Taking a walk on the flat lawn with Thomas, Li Zitao needs some good news to comfort himself.

"I'm sorry, not." Said Thomas, showing his hand.

It can't be changed, but it's not his fault. It's the man in front of him who needs achievements and keeps throwing money into the IBM lab.

Regardless of the gain or loss, regardless of the consequences of throwing money, in Thomas's view, that is the case.

California lab is wasting so much money that it's driving the entire board crazy, and all the profits are again invested in endless research and development.

It is impossible to support IBM only on orders from the government and schools, especially after having a "gold gobbler" laboratory.

"Don't complain, Thomas. You should know the importance of research and development." Li Zitao smiles and waves, and their relationship has eased a lot.

If he had said so before, Li Zitao would have turned around and left as if he had heard nothing, and talked about the re-election of CEO at the shareholders' meeting.

"I know, but you should also know that the most important thing for a company is to make profits. If you can't see the profits, no one will continue to stay."

"Who is going?" Li Zitao asked with interest: "if yes, let him give me the quotation sheet."

Li Zitao doesn't mind taking another part of the shares, because California laboratory has a closer result.

Rather, the lab and the University of California are working together.

Network, in large scale No, to be correct, after the "supercomputer" was built successfully, Li Zitao put forward the concept of network.

But so far, it's still a prototype, and they've been able to transmit signals from the lab to the University of California, that's all.

But from Li's point of view, this is a very good signal for anyone who knows the future.

The future network is spiritual marijuana. In order to satisfy everyone's spirit as soon as possible, Li Zitao thinks it is necessary to let the useless "Internet" appear quickly.

In fact, in the current era, it is a "waste product" that is completely useless and will waste a lot of money, because it is not necessary to be needed.

Look at who's buying legendboy, the Department of defense, l-bhg's computing center, IBM's own experimental center, the University of California, the University of Chicago, Harvard

There are also several well funded public universities, but there are none.

People who are interested in knowing the price and its vulnerability will give up in 30 seconds. Those who are not interested will Still not interested.

The profits from selling these machines are far from enough to fill the "experimental black hole." now it's all supported by other businesses.

Punch cards, employee timing systems, scales, automatic meat cutters, commercial processors, etc., are supporting IBM.However, the speed of black hole absorbing gold is getting faster and faster, and directors will not be able to bear it sooner or later.

"Charlie, do you understand that it's useless I admit that LDY is a good idea, but it is not going to be mainstream and can't be done at the moment.

we need to slow down and take our time instead of just stuttering away at a fat man. "

Thomas didn't want to see the shareholders get stalemate or who would quit. He just wanted to settle the matter peacefully and let IBM return to normal.

"How?" Li Zitao wants to hear his opinion.

It should also be said that it was the opinion of the whole board of directors. Before he arrived in mountain view city, they had already held a meeting to discuss it.

"Pause The laboratories in mountain view city were completely closed, half of the laboratories in Los Angeles were closed, and the funding for experiments was reduced by 80%

"No way."

"All these can be discussed. Talk about your conditions." Thomas looked at him and said.

"The mountain view lab is closed. I want to take away the researchers inside. The Los Angeles lab will not be closed, but some people can be cut off selectively."

"As for the experimental funding 20 percent. " Li does not want to mention layoffs, but he has no choice.

Unless he really wants to get into a standoff with the board and force the entire management team to leave.

Because he is very clear that insisting on funding the laboratory has offended too many people, including senior and middle-level managers, who have reduced the dividend at the end of the year.

"It won't work. It's not the '30s." Thomas is telling him that there is no shortage of other options.

Li Zitao is thinking seriously, because this is very troublesome. He needs these experienced managers and employees, who run IBM very well.

No one wants to trouble himself, and so does Li Zitao. Who wants to fire an employee who performs well?

Either he is a madman, or he is threatened by his employees, and the other party may take his place. Therefore, it is better to "invite" him out before it happens.

But these two situations do not exist for him. What Li Zi Tao needs to do is to put everything on the right track, provided that he is willing to give in.
