Chapter 736: Regretful Watson
It was not until Li Zitao officially announced to the public that people discovered how huge the property under his name was.
If the former Blue and White Chamber of Commerce was a sleeping giant dragon, then now this giant dragon opens its eyes, overlooking the world with contempt and arrogance.
"Charlie, I think our two companies will have more cooperation in the future." David D. Rockefeller, who has officially become the representative of the Rockefeller Foundation, said with a sincere smile.
"Of course, we will always be friends." Li Zitao smiled and hugged him.
"Charlie, you are amazing... Someone in Chicago is going to worry." Strandis McCormick congratulated him on behalf of the Chicago Consortium.
"Strantis, how about having another carnival at sea?" Li Zitao didn't take his words at all, and said with a smile.
After going out to sea on the 'Angel' last time, the heir of the McCormick family flew up in waves, and in the end he almost didn't get out of bed, and his legs were weak when he walked.
"...Maybe we should wait for a while." Strandis said awkwardly.
He was raised by his father as an heir since he was a child, and he has never touched a woman since he was fooling around with the nanny on the bed and was almost broken by his father.
In the past, he thought that having sex with a woman was the happiest thing, and he didn't even know how colorful the world of an 'adult' is.
"Charlie." Marina Ecos walked over. The big man was surrounded by people just now, and even Li Zitao couldn't get in.
"Do you have any advice, Mr. Chairman?" Nodding to the guys beside him, everyone left knowingly, and found their own dance partners to enjoy the party.
"Your achievements are amazing. I think you will be remembered by the world in the future history of the United States." Marina Ecos said while leaning on the bar with a smile.
"I've heard this many times. In fact, I'm a low-key person and don't like to show my face." Li Zitao said sincerely.
Marina Ecos recognized this point very much. If Li Zitao hadn't kept a low profile enough, he wouldn't have come to the present in peace.
Being willing to share has brought him countless possibilities. It can only be said that he is really lucky.
Without Rockefeller, Morgan who supported him in the middle, his wife Princess Adelaide, Du Tanron Strauss who later held Macy, the Astor family, etc., he would have been obliterated in the present In the tide.
The continuous or indirect help of these families has saved him countless troubles, and some things cannot be measured by money.
Take the matter of the Kendy family of the Boston consortium as an example. If it weren't for the involvement of many wealthy families, with his small body, the money would be taken or spent.
Don't underestimate any established consortium. Boston has paid a large amount of compensation, and it is still standing still.
On the contrary, relying on what happened last time, they got online with other consortiums, and the cooperation between the two parties is one step closer.
Although the total amount of wealth is not as strong as before, the future potential is even greater.
"Is this his cleverness, the wisdom of the Chinese?" Marina Ecos sighed secretly.
"Charlie, you should come to the Fed meeting more often." Marina Ecos explained his purpose of coming alone.
From now on, he already needs to face this young man formally. Thinking about his age, Marina Ecos feels like he is about to be eliminated.
"Mr. Chairman, if I can receive the invitation, I will be happy to be there." Li Zitao looked at him seriously.
In every previous meeting, Jonathan represented Fuguo, and the five words of Astor were enough to represent everything.
Especially after Jonathan led the Astor family to rise again, there was even a faint tendency to return to the No. 1 rich family in New York.
The CEO of Wells Fargo Bank, the owner of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, is now involved in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the market, and the future prospects are very promising.
And his canning factory, don't underestimate the food business, Jonathan is now one of the food suppliers of the US military.
The one-stop production, packaging and consignment sales reached by him and West,
It takes up 75% of the U.S. military's canned meat reserves.
Not to mention the old city renovation project formed by him and Charlie, and the industrial group that the three of Lawrence worked together.
This bond tied them tightly together and made their relationship closer and closer.
The three most popular guys in the United States are also the best friends, and no one can ignore this.
"Isn't my personal invitation not formal enough?" Marina Ecos said, toasting and smiling: "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" The walls of the crystal cups touched lightly, and both of them smiled happily.
As soon as Marina Ecos left, IBM's Thomas J. Watson came over again: "Charlie, your laboratory funds have exceeded the limit for the third time, do you want to see IBM being dragged down? "
Thomas J. Watson frowned, looking very embarrassed. This period of time was the most uncomfortable time since he led IBM.
The investment in the Intel-IBM cutting-edge experimental center has repeatedly exceeded the standard, making people in other departments full of complaints.
The laboratory that IBM invested 1 million to build has only been used for 4 years.
Although it has created a lot of profits for IBM, where there are people who have interests, there will be battles between rivers and lakes.
Seeing that the remuneration of researchers is getting better and better, there are new laboratories and a superior working environment.
The environment they live in remains unchanged, the increase in salary is not as high as that of the researchers, and the benefits are even worse.
This situation made the sales and marketing departments full of complaints. No matter how excellent a product is, it needs people to sell it. IBM's success is inseparable from their credit.
Some employees in the company have begun to envy the laboratory can be included in the name of Charlie Lee, this generous Chinese changed the treatment of laboratory employees as soon as he came.
They also won a sum of money from the board of directors to invest in the establishment of more luxurious and luxurious laboratories. How could such a good thing not come to them?
This kind of thinking seems terrible to Watson. If everyone thinks this way, what rights will he have as the chairman when they are shareholders?
"Watson, this is part of the bet, don't forget." Li Zitao nodded his head and said.
"I know its value very well. Before it becomes a reality, it is worthless." Watson now regrets introducing Li Zitao to IBM more and more.
If he could choose again, he would never be tempted by that idea.
Or taking the risk of offending him and directly stealing his ideas is better than the situation he is facing now.
It's just that it's too late to say these things now. Seeing Li Zitao leaving with a smile without saying a word, Watson can only ruthlessly kill the champagne in the glass to suppress his inner irritability.
