Chapter 707 (1/2)
IBM, later known as the blue giant.
Although for some time, IBM was almost overwhelmed by its huge system and bloated body, it survived and became more and more powerful.
Maybe some people will sing down IBM and say that HP, Microsoft and Intel are the mainstream in the future.
Maybe even Association will be mentioned.
Li Zitao can only say that what they see is the surface. IBM, which is really hiding in the water, is still a formidable deep-sea giant.
In the cutting-edge fields of national defense, military, research and experiment, IBM firmly controls these markets.
Create PC concept, standard and server.
IBM is incomparable in technology research and development. Its huge R & D team can create 20000 + new patents for it every year.
Its patents are more than the total of the top 11 IT companies, including HP, Intel, sun, Microsoft, Dell, etc.
Perhaps many people do not have a clear concept, so let's talk about the grounding gas.
What would happen if IBM and the products he developed and mastered disappeared?
That is, you'll find that all the ATMs, supermarket radios, gas stations, hospital systems, etc., are gone.
The next day you'll find that the banking system is closed, businesses are on holiday, all research projects are suspended, networks are down, universities are listening
Because these are closely related to life, and the most basic components supporting these systems are all provided by IBM.
People in the IT industry know that as long as you come from IBM, there will be people rushing for it no matter where you go.
The so-called top ten of IT industry, they provide services for the people and enterprises, while IBM provides services for them. It is the existence at the top of the it food chain.
Of course, this is not to say that IBM can dictate to other companies.
It should be said that they reach a balance, IBM firmly controls the cutting-edge market, so its personnel transfer, news and so on rarely appear in the media.
Other IT industries sell mainly to the public, which naturally receives more attention.
It's just like in front of the stage and behind the scenes. People always pay attention to the dazzling stars on the stage, but it's hard to imagine what a huge team is supporting behind the scenes.
”Lawrence, I'm interested in a new company you've invested in.” Heaven sent it to his mouth, and Li Zitao naturally wanted to bite him hard.
Knowing that he wanted to increase his investment in IBM, although Lawrence didn't understand the reason, he still readily agreed.
Looking back on Li Zitao's journey from becoming a rich man to now, many people seem to have made stupid and blind decisions at that time. In the end, they were slapped in the face.
At first, no one paid attention to it. Oscar, which only regarded it as an award platform, has begun to exert its influence in Hollywood and the film and television industry.
The public began to regard the Oscar standard as a ”guide to film watching”, and many actors and directors also regarded it as the recognition and grading standard of their own achievements.
A director or actor who can win an Oscar will be paid three to five times after winning the award, even for those nominated.
The most ironic thing is that Li Zitao bought a lot of ”abandoned” land from jp. Morgan, and the black gold buried in the ”waste land” is worth hundreds of billions.
In the international R & D center of skunk factory, which is eye-catching in the arms manufacturing industry, Osborne advanced medical laboratory of penicillin was invented.
