As soon as he sat down, the rushing tone directly made Li Fangcheng and Liu Chuanzhi speechless.

If Liu Chuanzhi hadn't known in advance that the person in front of him was this temper, it is estimated that he would have been angry at this time!

Looking at Liu Chuanzhi's gaze, Li Fangcheng shrugged, as if to say, look, I've said everything.

The person who was talking to the two looked a little tired, obviously not resting well recently.

"Mr. Jobs, we're not here to do business with you, we're talking to you about a development collaboration that goes beyond the nextstep system. Li Fangcheng was not polite, and went straight to the point as soon as he came up.

Steve Jobs is the famous Apple CEO in later generations, a prophetic and prescient giant who will always walk in front of everyone!

Even *** said about him: Steve Jobs is one of America's greatest innovation leaders, and his extraordinary talent has made him the man who can change the world.

Jobs is so good that it is not an exaggeration to apply almost all praise to him.

However, there is a difference that it was after 1997 that Steve Jobs, who returned to Apple, deserved this title.

Today, Steve Jobs is basically labeled manic, rude, arrogant, arrogant, tyrant, dictator, moody, and deviant, which led to the chaos at Apple, and eventually the board kicked him out of Apple.

At this moment, it has been two months since Jobs released the next computer, the film that Jobs spent a lot of effort and cost to produce, the cost alone reached $10,000, far higher than the budget of $3,000 at that time, the entire computer industry has undergone major changes at this time, and the next computer has no advantage.

NEXT computer, the computer equipped with the operating system NEXT.

In the beginning, Next's main target was the higher education market, developing "workstation" computers. At that time, the price of the "workstation" computer was about 20,000 yuan, and they promised to be able to develop a computer for 3,000 dollars and deliver it in 1987, so they signed some orders.

During the development of the Next computer, Jobs's ideas changed again and again, and the cost of Next became higher and higher. Ordinary computer hosts have arcs, which is convenient for production, and Jobs wants to build the fuselage into a cube for aesthetics, and to create a cube, you need to buy expensive molds.

If the cost of the computer is $3,000, then the cost of the case should be controlled at $50, and in order to meet Jobs's requirements for the quality of the chassis paint, it costs $50 to paint the case.

A more demanding requirement is the aesthetics inside the case. Engineers typically design the board first and then consider the size of the board, and Steve Jobs required the board to be square, which made it difficult and led to repeated delays in delivery.

Start-ups are generally more frugal, but Jobs spends lavishly. The company still had nothing, so it spent $100,000 to design the trademark, and the headquarters furniture was all customized.

In fact, a lot of money was spent on building a production line, which can produce 600 computers a day, and at this time, NEXT's computers have not yet been put into production, and in fact, not many computers have been sold.

In the end, the original cost of the computer was quoted at 3,000 US dollars, but Leng Shengsheng spent 10,000 US dollars, and the sales volume was only 50,000 units!

In this way, how can the company still make money?

Subsequently, the people who had followed Jobs in founding NEXT resigned one after another.

Just today at noon, someone resigned and left, and Booth asked him, why did you leave Next?

He thought for a moment and replied to Jobs: "If you continue to go your own way like this, you will spend the last penny of the company!"

Proud like Steve Jobs, after being driven away from Apple, he originally wanted to prove himself, but this pulled a vote of people, did nothing, and betrayed his relatives.

Jobs has been through so much that he has already been distraught, and he has begun to have doubts.

Is it right or wrong?

If that's right, why are companies falling apart now?

Is it wrong to just pursue better, more extreme products?

I was just optimistic about the future of 3D technology and invested in the mapping team of Luxfilm Studios, is this wrong?

Jobs was tormented in deep exhaustion for a few days, and today if it weren't for the fact that the other party was the company that produced the movie The Legend of the Great Sage, Jobs would not have bothered to pay attention.

But the special effects in the Titanic are the part he is interested in, which is very similar to what his Pixar animation studio is doing.

In addition, after a little understanding, he found that the other party also made several famous games, and the family members who could occasionally see people playing around him were actually from this company, which aroused his interest.

Just think about it, IMB paid $60 million to next to license the nextstep graphics operating system, this money is insignificant to IBM, but it is very important to next, Jobs doesn't take it seriously, and even asked Bill Gates to develop software for his system, but he was extremely indifferent to Bill Gates, and finally Bill Gates gave up developing software for Jobs, it is conceivable that he didn't even give face to Bill Gates and IMB, and he would pay attention to it if he said he wanted to see him？

Even if I see it now, I am completely unkind when I open my mouth.

Li Fangcheng had already told Liu Chuanzhi about these things on the plane, and he had already been mentally prepared, otherwise, ......

Li Fangcheng's opening to the point made Jobs frown all of a sudden, few people dared to talk to him in such a big tone, beyond the nextstep operating system?

When he's a fool?

The power of this system, as the founder, of course, he knows very well, and immediately retorted: "If Mr. Li came to tell jokes, then I think it would be better to stop here for this meeting." ”

"Hehe, if there is a system, it can solve the multi-language system, and at the same time has the advantage of surpassing all the current graphical user interfaces, and has super memory management technology and ......" Li Fangcheng crossed his hands, looked at Jobs who stood up, calmly introduced the core function points he had, and finally said: "A system with such functions, isn't Mr. Jobs interested, or ...... Can't believe such a system exists?"

"What do you mean...... Is it true??" Jobs pressed his hand in front of Li Fangcheng, and his breathing was a little heavier!

Li Fangcheng gently picked up the coffee that was shocked by Jobs, took a sip, and then said: "I think, there are not many people in this world who spend so much effort and come all the way across the ocean to joke with you, right?"

"Where is the system you are talking about??" Jobs's shock in his heart at the moment, no one knows better than him!

Beyond the nextstep operating system?how is it possible??

If the company is not doing well, it is his problem, but at least his system is recognized!!Even IMB values it!!How can there be a system that dares to surpass nextstep!!
