    Samsung is pretty cool like that. Need a TV? Samsung does it. Need a washer dryer set? Samsung. Need artillery? Believe it or not straight to Samsung.

    Ich: I want some freshly ground coffee. Hey, Tchibo, do you offer this?

    Tchibo: Of course! That’s my primary business.

    Ich: By the way, Tchibo, do you know someone who sells raincoats and underwear, but basically no other clothes?

    Tchibo: Funny that you ask…

    I’d also like an industrial drone for dispersing pesticides and liquid based fertilizers.

    Yamaha: Would you like it to match your motorcycle?

    I learned this fact from Vocaloid (yep the one with Hatsune Miku), which is also developed by Yamaha. They had a mechanical parts department during WW2, and it survived by switching to making motorcycles after the war.

      Huge companies used to make a lot of stuff back in the golden age of capitalism. General electric was a big chemicals and plastics company for instance. It was just normal.

      Nowadays, those mega-corporations make more money acting as a bank than they do selling stuff. They’ve just kept some product lines rolling because they’re profitable and safe.

      You couldn’t just start a motorcycle company and be competitive against Yamaha. The specific expertise they have took decades to build, so why waste it by closing down those weird branches when they’re still making money.
