Chapter 53: The Rise of the Rotten Apple

There is no need to guess, the first to use real estate to stimulate the economy was the US imperialists. As for Mao, they're fine, isn't this a wave of tech stocks?

Regardless of the stock market and property market, the most important thing is the money-making effect. Also, the house is just a place to live for the people of the United States. Unmarried people do not seem to have priority home ownership.

Looking at the McIntosh commemorative edition on the table, William White was a little funny, Jobs, for his dreams, has begun to do whatever it takes.

Of course, due to the advancement of technology, the same shell has been given a different core. A CPU with a frequency of 250 Hz, although not very good, far surpasses the first generation of Macintosh. Hehe, it actually integrates the BOSE sound system.

"Tom, this guy is selling feelings, I want to buy ten sets, this bastard doesn't give it, it's too stingy. ”

"Ahem, boss, this thing is not as easy to use as IBM. It can only be counted, it can only be counted as one thing, right?"

"You don't understand, Steve Jobs was a paranoid man who pursued perfection. He's telling the world that I, Jobs, have a good design, and that my ideas are right. It's the manufacturers of spare parts who are at fault.

Look, their products can't keep up with my design at all. ”

Tom the fat cat was slightly stunned, and reacted instantly.

"That's not it, is it? If you stuff this hardware into an Otto computer, can you say that we Xerox produced the first personal PC? ”

"No, you think too much Tom, and it makes sense that Wall Street likes Jobs. He knows very well what the capital market needs, and he also knows very well what products he needs.

Do you know why it's a limited edition? This bastard, there's so much in the warehouse, and he still has to pretend to be a stinky fart. I'm not very interested in money, it's just a commemoration. ”

Tom the fat cat found a problem, he was lucky to have such a boss, otherwise, Bill Gates, Jobs, Bezos, Larry Ellison, he was not at the same level as these people at all.

Little did he know that William White was just as tired of parrying. These bastards, there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp at all.

"Boss, this computer?"

"Hehe, you don't need to turn it on, twenty years later, it may be worth a lot. When the apple falls, it's worth a lot of money, and this thing is a swan song.

The anti-mainstream flag-bearers will naturally have countless believers. ”

What William White didn't know was that Steve Jobs, who had just become interim CEO, was extremely entangled. The commemorative version of Macintosh consumes his popularity, and there is really no need to buy it back, but there are really not many.

However, having signed an investment agreement with Microsoft, he will use the latest OS system with built-in Internet Explorer.

For Jobs, this damn Internet Explorer is simply a rat shit. Nima, can't you just design it better?

It's a pity that he Jobs has no way back. Embedded IE browser, compatible with Microsoft's office suite, this is the condition of Bill Gates. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for William White, Jobs's negotiations might have been more difficult.

Will William White be short of money?

Obviously not, not to mention that Apple only has a market value of two or three billion, that is, Microsoft, as long as William White is willing, he can still buy it.

Ahem, well, it will definitely lead to an antitrust investigation by the Department of Justice.

"Jonathan, do you get a new CPU?"

"Steve, it's cool, we used a pure copper heatsink and the CPU is always very cool. By the way, our engineers tried inverters, and they can work stably at 650 Hz. ”

Jobs' eyes lit up, and it seemed that the system of this CPU was very good. Damn, why only 450 Hz.

"So, they have the capacity for mass production?"

"Yes, Lee said there is no problem, they will be producing CPUs for PS soon. By the way, I heard that AMD will also ask them to OEM. ”

"Ha, this guy actually succeeded again. ”

It is impossible to say that there is no envy. He Jobs is for his own dreams, and William White is not.

Recently, will you soon become an environmental expert?

Well, Jobs didn't think about it that much for the time being. The development of the G3 jelly machine is going very well and will be released by the end of the year. As long as this product is successful, Apple will be able to get out of bankruptcy for the time being.

It is unrealistic to say that there is not much pressure to cut so many products at once. If you dissolve a project, you have to lay off some employees. Such a huge sum of money is simply numb. If you change to a soft CEO, it is absolutely impossible.

In Jobs's eyes, there are two kinds of people, one is naturally a genius, and the other is of course a waste.

Since it's all waste, why are you still here? Hurry up and get out of here.

Wall Street in this period likes CEOs with strong personalities. For the IT industry, this is even more so, otherwise, it will be difficult for Jobs to counterattack this time.

The unlucky guy who left was named the worst CEO of the year in 97. To be honest, just by virtue of his ability to ask Jobs back, it's hard to say how unbearable he is.

Apple is what it is now, and you Jobs have a lot of responsibility. From the Lisa to the Apple third-generation machine, all the way to the Macintosh. Ahem, boss, the most profitable is always Apple's second-generation machine.

Even today, this computer is still used in many parts of Europe. That is, there is win95, otherwise, this group of guys is not going to change.

If you have to ask, Apple's generation has the best products. Ahem, the answer is, of course, very simple, naturally the latest generation.

However, in William White's view, the most soul-imprinted is this translucent G3.

At that time, personal computers were basically gray. As a result, as soon as the rotten apple came out, it immediately made people's eyes shine. Under extremely difficult circumstances, more than 80 important units were sold in half a year.

Although the later G5 was more eye-catching, unfortunately, it was the leading manufacturing process. You have to say how awesome it is 13 in design, ahem, okay, you can say whatever you want.

Can you imagine that the G3, which saved Apple, was lying in the waste paper pile before Jobs entered Apple.

From this point of view, the former CEO does have no eyes. You've developed dozens of sets, and it doesn't seem like this one is bad.

Ahem, do you just pick out the ugliest?

If you want to say who is the most depressed in Silicon Valley now, there is no doubt that the two bigwigs of Intel are definitely at the top.

William White has already given up on desktop processors, and you are actually forcing others to produce them. Who are Jobs, they know very well that if something is not good, this guy will definitely not accept it.

So, how long can the Pentium 2 processor, which is just half a step ahead, maintain its advantage?

And that damn Bill Gates, how much time has it been, what about your new system? Don't you have a tacit understanding? Two years, two years at most, you will switch to the new system.

For the current win95, MMX is enough to cope. If there is no demand, you can easily ask for $700 for a CPU, and with the motherboard hard drive, it will easily cost $2,000 or three.

This is a personal PC, if you add a graphics card of the Ox 13. More than 3,000 US dollars.

Well, wait a little longer!

It's not just the users who think so, but so do the guys who make the computers. Don't forget, now the Asian financial crisis, who knows if it will affect the United States, look at the current situation, Asia is basically wiped out.

Wait, wait!
