Chapter 130: Saving the Faith
Don't be surprised, this medicine was originally designed to treat the heart, but later it was found to be mediocre. However, its side effects are just too touching.
In fact, this little blue pill works wonders for some people with heart disease. If the side effects weren't too evil, they might have become a regular drug.
What, it was really routine later, and if there were some minor problems, the doctor wouldn't mind giving you some.
I really don't understand, in the end, the heart is important, or Xiao Dingding. If the heart is important, the medicine for Mao Xiao Ding Ding is more expensive. Bastard, it's obviously useless, but it costs a few hundred dollars.
On March 28, Apple's new product launch conference. iMacG3, placed alone on the table, under a red cloth hood, from a distance, is basically the size of a monitor.
Jobs has attended many press conferences, but this one is a little special. It can be said that this is a last battle, if it fails, it needs to be refinanced, and if it doesn't, it needs to be liquidated.
The former personal PC overlord, the former industry leader, has come to this point, and I have to say that it is completely a model of death.
During this time, Jobs was under a lot of pressure. When he announced that he was compatible with Microsoft Office Suites, Jobs' fans were disappointed. When he announced that Apple's system was bundled with Internet Explorer, he was met with crazy complaints.
Most of the time, it's much scary to turn black than black. Most of the black fans are brainless black, their position does not matter at all, and as time continues, many of them will turn black to powder.
Pink to black is different, it should be said that the emergence of the Macintosh computer has completely changed the shape of the world.
What? You say Macintosh is rubbish, and it doesn't sell much at all. If you talk about making money, you haven't made money with the recent commemorative edition.
That's right, and it's a failure. However, starting with Macintosh, the IT industry ushered in a complete revolution.
IBM almost died suddenly, Wang An's computer fell decisively, and HP and Xerox, if it weren't for other office automation equipment, it is estimated that they would also be unlucky.
Although the rotten apple hit the streets, Compaq and Dale succeeded. A group of bigwigs who used to be high up in the sky were all pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Now, in order to save Apple, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Jobs did almost everything he could.
So, can he redeem his own believers?
Can the banner of counterculture be raised again?
This is an era of lack of faith, and people begin to constantly compromise and give up in order to obtain more benefits.
Hopefully, this renunciation is worthwhile.
Jobs cried again, looking at the audience with thunderous applause, the girl actually cried again.
"Boss, isn't it a little fancy? It looks cool, but it doesn't look like office supplies. ”
"Larry, you're right, it's actually a household appliance.
Only in this way will miracles be created. You think, the price of more than 1,000 dollars is actually fine. Larry Ellison nodded, he kind of understood, where the gap between himself and William White was.
It turned out that this translucent jelly was not sold to the company at all.
You might say, it's not that exaggerated, but what kind of history has this created?
Hehe, don't say it, that's true.
Before that, the attitude of ordinary people towards computers was still at the level of typing and sending emails. This is the first time, at least, in the United States. Ordinary American imperialists think that this thing really should be called a PC.
You used to talk about personal computers, but this stuff is so boring that it really doesn't really do anything other than keep typing, writing reports, and sending emails.
Well, once in a while, you can check the news and chat, and that's all. I really can't see where the individual is.
The iMacG3 is different, very different. It's too much of a Nima counterculture.
If the purchasing department buys a batch of these computers back to the company.
Ahem, I'm afraid the whole department will be cleaned up.
Perhaps many people disagree. But can you really find another similar one?
No, the so-called personal PC in this era is actually still commercial, just for you to go home and use it commercially.
It was this seemingly deviant jelly machine that completely opened up the era of multimedia.
After that, the computer began to slowly become cute.
Of course, William White is a bit shameless. You know that this thing is easy to sell, of course it's right.
You go and tell Jobs now, man, there is a problem with your production plan, 500,000 units are useful, this thing, at least two million.
Needless to say, Jobs definitely looked at you like an idiot. Bastard, if you can sell 300,000 units, Apple will be able to come back to life. As long as you get through this most difficult time, the follow-up will be simple.
In fact, if it can be delivered in a timely manner. For the rest of the half year, one million units is completely stress-free. You know, that's billions of dollars in sales. There are so many companies in the United States, and they can make more than a billion a year, if you count them, there will definitely not be too many.
"The presentation was great, the computer was good, and most importantly, the software was good. You know, Bill Gates, when he gave me a demonstration, he actually blue screened three times.
It's embarrassing, but luckily, you're doing amazingly. ”
Jobs has a black line on his face, bastard, if something happens here, won't you laugh to death.
"Different William, just now, I didn't demo Office IE. I said, what did you think in the first place, how did you get cheap Bill?"
"Alas, it's hard to put into words, isn't this product being pestered by the Ministry of Justice?
If I wanted to keep the software, I would have to develop the operating system. Then, the head will be hit and the blood will flow.
Or, I also engage in internal circulation. It was then split by the Ministry of Justice. ”
"Hehe, you have faith. In this way, Bill Gates is lucky, and it is better to entangle with the Department of Justice than to compete with you. ”
"Alas, it's still boring, why make so much money?
In my lifetime, I was going to spend it all. Unfortunately, I can make money much faster than I can spend, which is too difficult. ”
Jobs was depressed, and he wasn't going to deal with this guy anymore. As soon as you start with 13, this thing will become an abomination.
At the end of a lively reception, although it was all praise, but what happened to this thing still needs to be tested by the market.
The Macintosh of the year was also boasted of greatly. However, when it comes time to pay for it, few people really buy it.
Lao Mei's character is like this, the laughter is very low, and she likes to coax. You are a little more sensational, a little bloody, and by the way, you sell some feelings. Rest assured, there won't be anything that jumps out and makes you uncomfortable.
Of course, it was probably very emotional at the time, calm down and think again. Damn, what's the use of this thing, why buy it back!
The press conference was opened, and the user reaction is still unknown. The first batch of products can be obtained by cooperative enterprises or evaluation institutions.
"Tom, how is it, is it ready? ”
"Rest assured, it's just that there is a bit of a problem with this promotion. Moreover, what our profit model is, there is no plan. ”
"Make money? I didn't think about making any money in three years. This will be a platform, a platform for distributing free software.
By the way, Tom, you need to be more careful about those talented software engineers. What is most important in this era is his meow's talent. ”
