Li Zetian shook his head and said: "Apple is not short of funds at present!" In fact, Apple is very short of money, but now is not the best time for financing, in addition, the other party will open his mouth to account for 50% of the shares, Li Zetian will not agree.

Thomas Rockefeller sighed slightly, this young man, he was very optimistic, so he decided to invest in Apple, but since the other party refused, then forget it, there are many businesses in the world, and some places are invested.

"Okay, then I won't be strong!" Thomas Rockefeller smiled gentlemanly and said goodbye to Li Zetian.

The people around were all embarrassed, such a good condition, this young man actually didn't agree, his brain was in water? Or what?

But no matter what, people are now impressed by Li Zetian.

However, Li Zetian was still labeled as arrogant and ignorant in his heart!

Li Zetian didn't care what others thought in their hearts, he took Yu Jingqiu's hand, then called Yu Jingshan and left the auction hall together.

On the way, Yu Jingshan felt a little sorry for Li Zetian, and he said: "Zetian, the Rockefeller family has a very great influence in the United States, and if they invest in Apple, they will definitely help Apple develop rapidly!"

"Yes, uncle, I understand the influence of the Rockefeller family, but I can't accept their investment at present, which will make me lose control of Apple! I don't want to be swept away by others one day!!" In the previous life, Jobs was ousted by the board of directors of Apple Company and left a deep impression on Li Zetian, even if he is not absolutely controlling in the future, the voting rights of his own shares must account for more than 51%, so as to firmly control the company!!

At present, Apple is developing rapidly, and it does need a huge amount of money to support this small ship!

Including factory employees, Apple employees have more than 150 employees, assuming that the average monthly salary of each person is 1,400 US dollars, it is 210,000 US dollars a month, in addition to employee expenses, as well as rent, electricity, water bills, various electronic components needed for development, including processors, memory, floppy disks (hard disks were too large at the time, only used for large or small computers), power supplies, monitors, etc. are very expensive, and then counting advertising costs, the monthly expenses are at least more than 300,000 yuan.

However, how much money does Apple make with Apple-l?

It is said that the cost of hardware does not exceed $500, and the selling price of $2,000 can earn $1,500, but the copyright license fee for the BASIC language has to be given to Microsoft, and distributors and retailers have to share the money. In addition to this, there are taxes to be paid. Seven calculations, the net profit of one Apple-l is less than $1000. In this way, Apple only made $3 million by selling a machine.

However, after the Apple-l is sold, the payment of distributors and retailers will not be handed over to Apple immediately, and many distributors even deliberately default on the payment.

In fact, Apple does not even have a million dollars of money on its books, but the expenses are so large that if there is no income, it will take several months to dry, and the capital chain will easily break, and Apple will face the danger of bankruptcy at that time! But fortunately, Apple-l is still on sale and has begun to enter overseas markets, so the possibility of Apple's bankruptcy is still very small.

……

Since Li Zetian came to New York for the first time, Yu Jingqiu took him here for two days.

During the Christmas season, New York is particularly lively, full of Christmas trees and lights, not only New Yorkers, but also tourists from all over the world, and some famous attractions such as Wall Street, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Times Square and other places are almost overcrowded. The most impressive thing for Li Zetian is to stand on the top floor of the Empire State Building and look down on the whole of New York, although it is winter, the cold wind is cold, but Li Zetian's heart is burning with a rising flame, as if he is standing at the peak of the entire era, and the whole world is surrendered to his feet!!

On December 28, Li Zetian flew back to San Jose, Silicon Valley, and Yu Jingqiu stayed in New York to accompany her father to relieve her boredom, after all, the bankruptcy of the company is a major blow to anyone.

Li Zetian hurried back because Bill Gates and Paul Allen had already arrived in San Jose, waiting for Li Zetian's official appointment and introducing him to other employees of the company.

The next morning, Li Zetian brought Bill Gates and Paul Allen to the company.

"Everyone come here, I'll introduce you to these two now," Li Zetian beckoned, then pointed to Bill Gates and Paul Allen, and said, "This is Bill Gates, who will be the company's CEO in the future, and this is Paul Allen, who will be the company's chief technology officer!"

As soon as the words fell, Microsoft employees began to talk.

If two experienced people are recruited from other companies to be the bosses of Microsoft, they will naturally have no opinion, but Bill Gates and Paul Allen are younger than them, especially Bill Gates and Li Zetian have a baby face and look like a high school student at their age.

At this time, one of the employees inside exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, I suddenly remembered that the two of them were famous computer geniuses at Seattle's Lakeside High School! When they were still high school students at the time, they solved a technical problem that the engineers of Seattle Power Company could not solve! Many computer science students in college heard about their fame and came to challenge the two of them, but very few of them were their opponents!"

"That's right, that's why I invited the two of them over!"

Li Zetian said with a smile: "I believe that in the next few days, you will gradually learn about the abilities of Bill Gates and Paul Allen! Now everyone prepares, and the meeting will start immediately, and I will announce a major research and development project!"

"Yes!"

Three minutes later, all Microsoft employees gathered in the conference room.

Li Zetian said in a deep voice: "Apple is developing Apple's second-generation Apple-ll personal computer, which will be a very successful product in business, and the sales volume will be much more than Apple-l! In addition to continuing to improve the BASIC interpreter, Microsoft plans to develop a spreadsheet office software -- Excel on the Apple-ll personal computer.

Then, Li Zetian designed a very simple spreadsheet based on the hardware conditions of this era.

The abscissa ABCDEFG and other English numerals, and the vertical coordinates are Arabic numerals such as 1, 2, 3, 4.

Rows and columns make up cells, and data and formulas related to the data are stored in the cells. And there is a line in the upper left corner is the command output line, press "Esc+Q" to jump here for input, type special characters to select the formula required by the user for the cell, such as SUM is addition operation, IMSUB is subtraction operation......

When the slideshow was finished, everyone was amazed!

Bill Gates couldn't help but say: "Chronos, this Excel spreadsheet software is definitely a killer software, it will take the world by storm!!"
