City of Armonk.

ibm headquarters, laboratory supervisor office.

A young Chinese man was sitting in the position that originally belonged to Leon Solan, quietly flipping the report in his hand.

Leon Solan's shoulders were slightly tilted forward, his hands were hanging in front of him, his right hand grabbed his left wrist, and his face was full of smiles.

"Solan, are all these?" Li Zitao asked without raising his head.

"Yes, Mr. Li, all reports are here." A hint of harshness flashed in Leon Solan's eyes.

The idiots in the laboratory dared to add their ideas to the report privately. Who would have to look at the worthless garbage? He had found it and threw it away.

"But I remember that there were a few people who wanted to get the support of the company and develop their own projects. I had promised them to see them in person, where is the stuff?"

Seeing Li Zitao looking up, Leon Solan was on the spot, and it seemed that ten thousand divine beasts were running by in his heart.

"I, I don't know, sorry sir, I'll go and find it now." Thinking of the reports he threw away by his own hands, a cold sweat broke out on Leon Solan's forehead.

The young man in front of him is the company's largest shareholder, and he can be said to be his boss. How dare Leon Solan offend?

"Forget it." After waved his hand, Li Zitao said to the outside of the door: "Tia, go to the laboratory and ask them to make a copy and hand it over, and you can give it to me in person."

"Okay, boss." The sound of high heels hitting the ground gradually faded away, but Leon Solan's face was ashamed.

He had a premonition that he was going to be in trouble, and at the executive meeting in the afternoon, Leon Solan's premonition was verified.

"From this moment, I have to take a look at all the project reviews in the laboratory. No one has the right to call it back, no matter who it is!"

Li Zitao said solemnly in front of all the executives, and by the way he looked and buried his head in his chest, like a fat quail, Leon Solan.

"To introduce to you...Tia, from today on, she will be responsible for the approval of laboratory projects."

As Li Zitao announced the end of the meeting, Leon Solan was almost sliding under the table.

Although he is still the head of the laboratory, the two most important rights, the establishment of laboratory projects and the approval of funding, are not under his control.

It also means that his supervisor has become a puppet and his power has been undermined.

Leon Solan is not aware of the board's restrictions on Li Zitao, otherwise he would have been fired now.

From the company's standpoint, he did nothing wrong, but for Li Zitao he was a stumbling block.

Who made him a member of the company? What Li Zitao needs the least now is the obstacles between him and the laboratory employees.

In the afternoon, the company's board of directors.

"Charlie, what does supporting their personal projects mean for the company? This will distract us from the center of gravity, delay project progress, and increase capital expenditure..."

Sitting in the chairperson of the board, Thomas J Watson asked with an ugly face.

After two days of joining the company, he made the company's people restless, and a lot of inexplicable projects appeared in the next quarter's expenditure.

For shareholders, the money is completely inexplicable.

"These projects are not worthless, but no one realizes their value. We should look at the long-term. As long as one of these projects is successful,

It will bring us rich rewards. I think everyone here knows the name skunk very well, but who knows that all the research and development projects of skunk are found by researchers themselves.

As long as the concept they proposed is possible to succeed, they can find like-minded teams and have detailed time and schedules, they will be supported by financial support."

When Li Zitao heard the skunk mention, the shareholders present whispered to discuss it, the skunk's success was a miracle.

It is also the first corporate laboratory, supported by government and colleges in the field of aviation, and many American universities have closely cooperated with it.

Everyone can see the success of skunks, but few people know how it operates before success.

Now that Li Zitao said this, many shareholders were moved.

The development of skunks brings hundreds of millions of profits to Aviation. If ibm research labs can become the second 'skunk,' they are not going to make a fortune.

"Otherwise, let's try it?" someone suggested with a heart-warming look.

"I think it's OK, it's just over 600,000 yuan, and the company is fully capable of taking it." Another shareholder who agrees.

Looking at Li Zitao's smiling face, Thomas J Watson seemed to see a smirking fox, but he couldn't find the reason.

He has also seen these project reports with his own eyes. Strictly speaking, they are accessories related to card machines and statistics machines.

If it can be successful, ibm's products will become more comprehensive and have a wider range of applications, and companies may even use this to formulate industry standards.

Besides, Watson didn't think that Li Zitao would make trouble on purpose, and it would be of no benefit to him to destroy ibm.

He has no conflict with ibm products under his name, and there is no conflict between the two, and there is also a real money of 3.5 million US dollars.

No matter how rich you have, you will not throw millions away. You may not be able to get 1 million in cash if you have the money, let alone 3.5 million dollars.

"So, I agree to try it first. We can pick out the high-quality ones from these projects, 2...what do you think?"

There are a total of 13 projects submitted this time, and Watson will cut most of them in one breath.

Li Zitao from Haikou has already praised him. If he really cut off most of the time and passed two small projects like alms, what kind of majesty he has in the laboratory?

This morning, Li Zitao gave Leon Solan a warning at the executive meeting, and Watson would give him a warning in the afternoon. Is this the present life?

"I don't agree. Such differential treatment will reduce the enthusiasm and motivation of employees. What we need now is innovation and cohesion.

If we do this, we may lose many excellent employees. If they deliberately delay progress at work, it will have a greater impact on the company."

Li Zitao immediately expressed his attitude, very tough and persistent, and to do his best, this is the concept he has always adhered to.

"Charlie, although you are the one who decides the research and development direction of the laboratory, it does not include these, and the board of directors has the right to make choices." Watson said and frowned.

Watson is a little uncertain whether it is good or bad to let Li Zitao join the company. His ambition may ruin ibm.

"Then, raise your hands to vote!" Li Zitao looked at all shareholders with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, without any attitude of giving in.

"IBM has enough potential, maybe it's the next At&T, Morgan, or UUS, otherwise I wouldn't sit here. Now it's time for you to choose, should I create the future of IBM with me, or wait for being surpassed by myself."
