Near the platform of the Line 3 bus stop on the east side of downtown New York, Iris held the coffee he had just bought in one hand and yawned deeply with the other hand over his mouth. He worked late last night, and his sleep was inevitably affected.

After taking a sip of coffee and forcibly lifting his spirits, Iris stood on the platform of Line 3 and waited for the next bus. He looked at the time on his watch, 7:20 a.m., half an hour before work, and the time should be in time.

After looking left and right, and seeing that there was no sign of a bus on the road, he quickly ran to a newsstand across the road, and shouted to the owner of the new newspaper and weekly, who was sorting out the new newspaper and weekly, "Ike, has Scientific American arrived today?"

Ike looked back and saw that it was Iris, an old customer, and grinned: "You came just in time for Iris, the latest issue of Scientific American has just arrived." ”

As he spoke, Ike crouched down and rummaged through a pile of weekly magazines for a moment, and soon took out a weekly magazine that still smelled of ink, got up and handed it to Iris.

"I've got the money. Iris often buys this magazine, so he naturally knows the price, so he puts the dollars directly in the newsstand. Then he ran back to the platform of Line 3, and while waiting, he spread out the weekly magazine and took a look, and was deeply attracted by the headline on it.

"Three Apples That Change the World!"

Three apples that changed the world??

Iris was very curious about this novel and strange title, and despite standing on the side of the road at this time, he directly opened the magazine and read it.

The first few pages are all about introducing some of the latest American technology and products, if he used to read carefully, but now he is attracted by the title of the cover, and he can't wait to find out what the "three apples" that change the world are.

Soon, after Iris quickly flipped through seven or eight pages, he finally found the title in the middle of the magazine.

"Last Friday morning at eight o'clock, Apple held a grand Apple computer show in New York. Not only did reporters from dozens of well-known science newspapers and weekly magazines in the United States come to the scene, but Steve Jobs, the general manager of Apple, invited Conrad Chuzer, the father of computers, and Mr. Evan Huo, a world-famous science fiction master, to attend the guests of Apple's new Apple II plus computer products.

After the on-site experience, the Apple II plus computer product was unanimously recognized by the visiting reporters, and the father of the computer, Conrad Chuze, gave a high evaluation. He believes that Apple's new Apple II plus will change the landscape of personal computers in the world......"

After reading a long section of soft ads dedicated to the performance and equipment of the Apple II plus, Iris finally saw the content that matched the title in the last few paragraphs.

After the world-famous science fiction master Evan Huo took the stage, he did not introduce Apple's newly developed products too much like Conrad Chuzer, but as an ordinary computer enthusiast, he explained his personal preferences for Apple's new product. Mr. Evan believes that this Apple 2nd generation computer not only has something that existing computers on the market do not have, but also creates the future of personal computer trends.

In the end, Mr. Evan said that the apple in the Garden of Eden seduced Eve and showed us the new world, the Apple at Cambridge University woke Newton up and led us to understand the new world, and Steve Jobs developed the Apple computer and led us to change the new world. Technology changes lives, starting with Apple. ”

It turns out that these are the three apples that changed the world!

Iris's eyes lit up, he was very interested in this statement, the story of Eve and Newton is almost a household name, in a sense, those two apples did bring a great breakthrough to human civilization, and this last Apple company, although not a fruit, can make the great writer Evan say that Apple computers will change the world, which undoubtedly makes him extremely curious.

What kind of computer is the Apple II plus that would make even a science fiction writer applaud?!

......

When Iris was considering whether to spend money on an Apple II plus to see what kind of technology it was, countless technology enthusiasts almost came up with this idea after reading weekly magazines such as Scientific American, Science, Contemporary Science, and American Science.

What kind of computer product is it, not only the father of computers praised it as changing the world pattern, but even the famous science fiction writer Evan praised it as the third Apple to lead the new era.

At first, the story of the three apples was only spread among people who liked to read science magazines, but as time went on, the story gradually spread more and more. Coupled with the impetus of the Universal Press Branch of the United States, it only took half a month to explode in the United States.

The first two apples are easy to understand, but people are surprised how the third apple can change the world.

After the gimmick became hyped, more and more people participated in the discussion of this topic, and countless computer enthusiasts placed orders with Apple in Silicon Valley for the first time. I hope to be able to buy an Apple II plus and see how brilliant this computer product is.

The day after dozens of science weekly magazines were launched, Apple received calls from dealers, customers, and media across the United States. Some of them want to represent this computer product, some want to buy it directly from Apple, and some want to interview Steve Jobs, Apple's general manager.

In response to the calls from dealers and customers, Jobs immediately contacted the manufacturer of the computer hardware, and he had a hunch that the 3,000 Apple II plus stacked in the warehouse might not be enough to sell.

In fact, Jobs' hunch was correct, when Apple's marketing department officially recruited dealers and announced the retail price, dealers across the United States booked more than 10,000 Apple II plus computers on the first day!

20,000 units, 30,000 units...... In just seven days, orders were placed for more than 100,000 units across the United States.

The astonishing number of orders shocked Jobs, you must know that the retail price of an Apple II plus is almost as high as 10,000 US dollars, which is a very large amount in today's United States, and ordinary people can't afford it at all, but I didn't expect that the order volume in such a short period of time will exceed 100,000 units!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Jobs asked the manufacturer several times to expedite the production of Apple II plus computer equipment, and at the same time, he also told the good news to Fok Yaowen, who returned to Hong Kong, for the first time, hoping to share this joy together.

Just when Jobs thought that 100,000 units had almost reached its peak, something unexpected happened.

After Konrad Chuze, the father of computers, returned to Germany, in an interview with an authoritative scientific weekly in Germany, he seriously introduced the Apple II plus computer to the reporter who interviewed him, and he said that this personal computer is the best computer he currently thinks, and its advent will not only change the pattern of personal computers all over the world, but also bring unprecedented progress to computer science.

When this German weekly was published, the Germans all exclaimed loudly, knowing that the computer was invented by the Germans, but decades later, even the father of the computer thought that the American computer was better than the German one. This makes the Germans, who are proud of their exquisite machine tools and technology, unacceptable in their hearts.

For a time, a large number of scientific research institutions, individuals, and companies in Germany have sent orders to Apple in Silicon Valley, USA, wanting to buy an Apple II plus for research to see what kind of product can make the father of the computer appreciate.

With orders from Germany, soon there were overseas orders from the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, etc.

As of the end of May, orders from the outside world to Apple exceeded 500,000 units, and after this data was announced by Steve Jobs, the entire American technology company was shocked!

500,000 units!

This not only exceeded the sales volume of Wang Computer Company in several years, but also made Apple Computer the first company in the world to sell more than 500,000 single computers.

With sales and cross-era products that are admired by people, countless venture capital companies have stretched out their evil claws to Apple, and those capitalists are dancing their teeth and claws to gnaw on the third Apple that is enough to change the world!
