Chapter 977 Let the Government Pay the Bill

The matter about Adams was only a small part of the report, and Ben talked more about the defense of the overseas situation.

As the Allies counterattacked, more and more land returned to Allied leaders.

While the system has been shaken and economies have all but collapsed, normal business activity has begun to resume.

These countries have encountered wars, a lot of waste is waiting to be built, and business opportunities are everywhere.

The Pacific Ocean is full of allied fleets, and it has become relatively safe.

Originally wanted to resume trade with the Far East and make Hualian (Huaguo) busy again.

In addition, under the factors of war, IBM has also achieved good development, and it has been found that it can be applied in various fields.

Expensive and sophisticated.

But it can replace the calculation of hundreds or thousands of people.

More importantly, time, every day it saves, creates value.

This is even more true for the military, where the Departments of the Army, War, Treasury and Commerce have all procured.

The FBI also wants to buy it for the research and development of its cooperative institutions.

However, considering the conflicts between the two parties, perhaps out of fear that Li Zitao would have someone confiscated and kept secret, the great Director Hoover rejected this proposal.

This made Li Zitao a little regretful, he still wanted to make a fortune from Chief Hoover's pocket!

IBM's development is not much different from Li Zitao's expectations.

Seriously, it was slower than he expected, but Li Zitao was quite interested in a patent recently purchased by IBM.

Seriously speaking, this patent is also related to a Hollywood actress.

"Heidi Lamarr, I think you will have an impression of her, boss." Ben looked at him with a smile.

Heidi...

Immediately, a stunning face appeared in Li Zitao's mind, with strong and undisguised desire, like a delicate rose in full bloom.

"Yes, I remember." Heidi brought him many happy memories when he went to sea parties a few times.

"This frequency hopping technology was invented by her and a pianist. They wanted to apply it to fish and control fish based on a device based on an automatic piano music tube."

In order to shape the image of the United States, Heidi persuaded the pianist to provide the patent to the US government free of charge.

Just because of discrimination against women and distrust of pianists, the government did not use it in war.

In the words of Army Propaganda; 'If you're really patriotic, use your pretty face to sell more war bonds! '

"That's really hurtful." Li Zitao smiled while coiling the Pixiu in his hand.

This handle piece, which he got from the old man West at first, has been kept in the long office by him, and he always likes to play with it when talking.

Li Zitao believes that this will make him better at thinking and concentrate better.

After years of playing with Pixiu, Pixiu has become more and more transparent, and Lawrence once wanted to buy it for 1 million US dollars.

The answer was naturally refusal.

For Li Zitao, the most important thing in his life is money, but there are fewer and fewer things that interest him.

As his favorite handle piece, Pixiu is priceless.

Of course, people are fickle. If one day he doesn't like it, maybe he will give it to Lawrence directly.

"Engineers believe that this technology can play a key role in the development of computers, and IBM is already developing an extension on this."

"Speed ​​up the experiment of distributed local network, I hope to see the results before the end of the war." Regarding the development of the electronics industry, Li Zitao can't wait for others to do it.

Now the whole world is immersed in war, and when the war is over, America will be immersed in a better life again.

Resume farming, let soldiers return to factories, and people enjoy a peaceful and beautiful life.

It wasn't until the 1950s that the electronics industry was really taken seriously, and 20 years later, Arpanet was born.

Li Zitao didn't have time to wait that long. He wanted to see the arrival of the Internet era as soon as possible, to be able to surf the Internet, read all kinds of information,

Query data and information.

Play games, watch movies, enjoy hehehe...

This is the life he wants, instead of being together like now, facing the record player, radio and TV with only a few TV programs every day.

Talking about TV is the hottest public topic since the war.

For this immature industry that is transforming into a mature industry, people have given great tolerance and patience.

Many families are willing to pay a lot of money for this TV that often has no signal, only has 5 channels, and plays several movies repeatedly.

Also, it's fragile.

If you are not careful, various small problems will appear, and repairs will cost a lot.

In this era when everything is repaired first, not replaced, a large number of TV repair shops have naturally emerged.

What followed was a flock of people who wanted to take a gamble, or see its promise, or hold out hope that it would replace the old thing.

Various downstream manufacturers and TV assembly companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Capital is always keen. Investors who smell blood (money) no longer wait and see, and start to make tentative bets on companies they are optimistic about.

The most dazzling one is naturally the LNC brand under the Los Angeles News Corporation.

It has downstream production to upstream assembly, sales channels to brand effect, as well as its own radio network.

It is a well-deserved leader in terms of TV quality, picture and sound quality, line stability and program novelty.

This should come as no surprise within the company.

They are about 4 years ahead of other brands and investors, from research and development, line laying, to program shooting.

Until LNC was actually listed, it took 4 years of accumulation and investment of millions of dollars.

If they are ahead of their opponents and have rich funds, they will still be surpassed by others, and their existence will be worthless.

"So far, LNC has sold about 8,000 units in North America, with a net loss of 802,500 yuan this quarter. It is expected that sales will increase by 500% in the next quarter."

"Are you sure you can sell 50,000 units?" It's not that Li Zitao doesn't trust Ben, but the current situation makes him unable to see where the audience is.

"Boss, you forgot about the soldiers who are about to return home." Ben smiled mysteriously, and explained the reason for his confidence.

In the Pacific, East Asia and Africa, there are many soldiers who are returning from wars.

A large number of them will disband on the spot, return to their families, and live a peaceful life again.

Only a small number of elites will be sent again to various parts of the world to carry out more difficult tasks.

And these returning soldiers, they will soon have a lot of money in their hands.

For soldiers who have been tortured by war and are brilliant, what could be happier than watching TV with their families at home?

Even for this reason, DreamWorks specially shot several comedy films, enough to make them forget the troubles and tragic scenes on the battlefield.

"The think tank is negotiating with the Ministry of War. If successful, TV will become part of the psychological comfort program for veterans, and the purchase of TV will be subsidized by the government."

Speaking of this, Ben raised his eyebrows proudly. The serious forehead lines and his shiny forehead made people feel hot.
