Chapter 1714 (2/2)

In the short term, at least, there is no hope in the last 10 to 20 years.

They want to be able to shut down projects and re-enter research and development when the time is ripe.

”Our mainframe has been able to occupy a room to now only the size of a car, all thanks to it.”

Li Zitao looked at the shareholders one by one and looked at them with his eyes. ”Isn't it just the change of volume that makes ARPANET successful?”

All shareholders look at each other, he said is true, but not very accurate!

If you want to reduce the size of the machine to today's size, it will cost no more than 10 million US dollars, and the follow-up more than 100 million yuan will be fruitless.

Everyone knows that computers in the future will become smaller, faster and more advanced.

But before the technology matures, there is no need for an unlimited amount of investment to promote that tiny change.

”When a thousand Li dike is destroyed in an ant nest, it is often those seemingly insignificant changes that will set off a huge wave.”

”Believe me, your investment will get abundant returns. If someone is dissatisfied, you can come to me at any time, and I will give him a suitable price.”

When he said that, no one complained, even Watson.

Sell the shares to him, and no one will agree to do so unless he is facing bankruptcy or for irresistible reasons.All the people who can stay on the board at this time are people who are full of confidence in him and are extremely optimistic about IBM's future.

It's not their style to flinch.

At the beginning, ARPANET was not stable enough and had not been officially launched into the market, some shareholders encountered financial difficulties.

But he would rather let go of his profitable investment and insist on holding IBM shares.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that its shares could not be bought at a price and could not fill the hole.

But also from the side to prove that he is how optimistic about IBM.

ARPANET's success, the huge public opinion and reform, as well as the huge profits brought about, all proved to him that his vision was right.

Li Zitao's achievements and legendary experience also play a great role in it.

Shareholders believe that he will never make a loss, that his judgment is correct, and that he can make a good profit.

This is actually a kind of gambling. From the standpoint of shareholders, it is very dangerous.

Fortunately, they won!

Now, they can only count it as another gamble.

If you win, you will get more than ARPANET.

Almost every time we have to argue about it, the issue of R & D investment raised again is over, and Watson thinks of another thing.

”Charlie, do you know of a company called Wang laboratories?”

”Oh? What's the difference with it? ” Li Zitao neither admitted nor rejected it.

I'd like to hear what Watson is going to say. Wang laboratories, of course, knows this company.

It should be said that any Chinese who is interested in the history of it will not be unfamiliar with Wang An.

”We've acquired a patent for its core memory, which is a technology that can replace punch cards, which is smaller, lighter and more advanced.”

”It's just that there was a misunderstanding between us during the transaction, and Wang set up a new computer company with the money from the sale of patents...”

Speaking of this, Watson's face is a little embarrassed. Compared with IBM, Wang An's computer company is like a humble little ant.

Can be such small ants, one after another to design their surprise products, gradually grow up.

Even, it has the ability to reject and resist IBM.

They worry that if it goes on like this, IBM will lose its dominance and monopoly over the industry.
