"Communications industry? AT&T (AT&T) is already doing it. They have Bell Labs's core technology. Even if Stark Industries enters, they may not be able to compete."
Hearing Luke's proposal, Howard shook his head repeatedly.
Entering the communications industry as an operator, where can I get Department of Defense orders?
Moreover, the upfront investment is huge.
Laying cables and building communication systems are necessary tasks that take a lot of time and cost.
The most important thing is that Stark Industries still has to face the terrifying enemy Bell Labs.
Even with Howard's critical eye, he has to admit that it is the greatest laboratory in the world.
It may not be as good as Manhattan Project, where geniuses and big guys from all over the world gather together.
But it can also be said that there are so many talents that should not be underestimated.
Howard is not like his son, who occasionally shows up with naive and romantic idealism.
For example, give up the main business of the company, close the weapons manufacturing factory, put on steel armor and become a superhero.
As a businessman, Howard is very rational.
He is not optimistic about Luke's proposal and believes that the communications industry is not a good choice for expanding territory.
"Don't rush to answer. Read my plan first."
Since we are looking for Howard to cooperate, Luke will definitely not come empty-handed.
With his quick-thinking super brain and his knowledge of related technologies in his previous life, he spent a few days preparing a plan.
Frankly speaking, once Superman uses his brain, he can indeed surpass more than 90% of geniuses.
It's like turning on acceleration and clicking on the technology tree like crazy.
In the same twenty-four hours, Luke seems to be getting +1 every second.
It is obviously a difficult problem to solve, but you can get the answer after just a few glances.
"Bell Labs is indeed the greatest laboratory on the planet, but this does not mean that AT&T (AT&T) can always monopolize the communications industry."
While Howard was looking through the plan, Luke explained his thoughts, "You may not have noticed that due to the development of the automobile industry, more and more people own cars, the demand for mobile phones is huge, and communications are no longer limited. Limited to the family. If I follow my plan, Stark Industries will definitely usher in a new era of mobile communications. Even AT&T (AT&T), supported by Bell Labs, may not be a rival!"
Of course Luke knows that AT&T (AT&T) has a trump card, Bell Labs.
There have been a total of eleven Nobel Prize in Physics winners, four Turing Award winners, and sixteen United States National Medal of Science winners.
Since its establishment, it has obtained more than 30,000 patents, an average of one per day.
Many key technologies for later generations of computers, televisions, mobile phones, cameras and the Internet came from Bell Labs.
It is no exaggeration to say that it changed the world.
In the original timeline, AT&T (AT&T) relied on Bell Labs to dominate the communications industry for more than a hundred years. It has always been the leader and no one can surpass it.
If it hadn't been for Antitrust Law, which caused this behemoth to be split up and dismembered, the communications empire built by Bell Labs would not have collapsed.
What Luke wants to do is to be the first to usher in the era of mobile communications, and then use the energy of Stark Industries to calmly deploy it.
From communication services to the Internet and mobile TV, it has penetrated into every home.
As long as this cake is made, it will not be worse than Stark Industries's own business.
"Did you do this alone?"
Howard was listening and flipping through the plan.
The expression on his face changed from casual at first to more serious later on.
Halfway through the book, America's most successful arms tycoon couldn't help but start breathing heavily and turning pages faster and faster.
"Incredible! Luke, you know, because of your existence, for the first time, I feel that God is unfair!"
Half an hour later, Howard said in a complicated tone.
There was surprise, excitement, and a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"I have never been jealous of your Superman physique - except when you are a little overwhelmed when facing too many beautiful girls. I have always been proud of my genius brain, but - you refreshed my knowledge today."
"It's not that you discovered some novel technology or made some amazing breakthrough. It's that your vision is completely beyond this era!"
"This plan is like a key, directly showing the future fifty years from now in front of me!"
Luke shrugged, taking the time to admire Howard's excitement that could not keep calm.
He said that this is just the basic operation of a time traveler. If you want to defeat the world-famous Bell Labs, of course you have to throw in the technology accumulation that is ahead of its contemporaries.
Moreover, can the time traveler's story be considered plagiarism?
This is to make reasonable use of advantages and lead technological innovation in advance.
Luke so comforts myself.
"This is unscientific! I mean no offense, but Luke you never even went to college, how did you come up with all this!?"
Howard held the thick plan and paced back and forth to calm down.
This thick stack of paper simply depicts a blueprint for the future of the communications era!
From the internal Integrated Chip, precision parts, to the core technology of Analog Signal and Frequency-Division Multiple Access, even Encrypted Channel, Automatic Call Connection and so on.
Including the establishment of urban communication networks, development to the later Cellular Mobile Communication Network, miniaturization of mobile phones...
Contents like this filled a thick stack of paper.
The long and dense discussion almost planned the development route for the next twenty or fifty years.
This is why Howard was shocked!
What Luke gives is not just the invention of a certain technology, but the way forward for the entire industry.
"Did you come back from the future in a time machine?"
Howard took a deep breath and stared at Luke, who was sitting on the sofa in Yun Danfengqing, as if he wanted to find the real answer from him.
"That's right. The future world is destined to be ruled by Artificial Intelligence. In order to prevent its evil plan to enslave mankind, I led the resistance to build a time machine and use it to return to the World War II period! This is my biggest secret. Do not tell others because it may bring danger."
Luke was talking nonsense seriously, but it was really interesting to see Howard's dubious expression.
"Forget it, there is no reason that I can only be a genius in this world. Well, Luke, you are welcome to join the genius club. I admit that you have this qualification."
After a while, Howard shook his head and sighed, seeming a little melancholy.
Now even the most proud genius brain has lost the ability to show off in front of Luke, which is really depressing.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
Howard calmed down and began to test Luke's bottom line.
He had no interest in the communications industry, and did not think that Stark Industries could beat Bell Labs and seize AT&T's market share.
But things are different now.
With this plan, Howard is even confident of building a communications empire, let alone winning the market.
"I will take 60% and invest in technology with technology. Stark Industries invests the capital and can take the remaining 30% and give away the rest - the establishment of mobile communication networks must have government support."
Luke didn't beat around the bush and said it straight to the point.
What he likes is Stark Industries's strong capital and the deep foundation behind it.
If the communications industry wants to develop, it must have government support.
Luke Although he has a place in the military, his political power is weak.
As long as Stark Industries is put on the chariot, it will not fall into many difficulties in the later stages of development.
"It's very reasonable. Your plan, your design drawings and technology, Stark Industries is like getting a bargain."
Howard nodded and agreed to this rough distribution plan.
More detailed regulations will definitely be discussed later.
"Then, happy working together."
Luke smiled and stretched out his hand, Howard held it tightly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had seen the arrival of a new era.
