Chapter 356 The bell must be tied to the bell

Apple's mobile phone project started very early, as the so-called "ten years of sharpening a sword", well, Apple's mobile phone project has not been ten years, however, it has lasted a long time, starting in 1985, and now there are 8 years, accumulating a large number of mobile phone technology patents. The reason why the new machine was not released so early is because the timing is not right, the second-generation communication era has not yet developed, and Motorola still monopolizes the market before. Li Zetian doesn't want to startle the snake, but also wants Apple to accumulate more power.

Jobs then pulled out a cell phone from his office drawer.

Li Zetian's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the mobile phone, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. Compared to Motorola's "brick" mobile phone, this phone is indeed small and exquisite, but this form factor design is simple and mediocre, which is completely inconsistent with Apple's design level. It's taken me 8 years of hard work, so won't I develop this kind of play?

Jobs explained with a smile: "Mr. · Li, this is not our Apple phone, it's a Nokia phone!"

"Nokia mobile phone!" Li Zetian was slightly startled when he heard this. The name of Nokia is like thunder, how could Li Zetian not have heard of it. He couldn't help but take a look at this mobile phone, except for the appearance of small and easy to carry, there is nothing too outstanding.

Jobs continued: "This is the first GSM phone produced by Nokia, a transformation - the Nokia 1011. The previous models were all analog mobile phones, 1011 was officially launched in December last year, and has achieved a lot of success in Europe, as of today, about 200,000 units have been sold. And Motorola is still obsessed with sticking to analog phones, I don't think Motorola has anything to fear, Apple's main competitor in the future may be Nokia!"

Awkward Jobs!

You've even figured it out!

A trace of shock flashed in Li Zetian's eyes.

"But ......," Jobs laughed, and said very confidently, "Nokia is not going to be our Apple rival! Not to mention that the Nokia 1011 can't be compared to Apple's mobile phone in terms of appearance, and it is far inferior in other aspects." This Nokia 1011 phone can only be used to make calls. And our Apple phones will also add software, email, ringtones, contacts, call logs and other features. ”

Li Zetian nodded, Nokia 1011 is the first mobile phone launched by Nokia, and it is still being explored, while the mobile phone developed by Apple has a clear research and development direction, which is better and which is inferior, it is naturally easy to distinguish.

However, Nokia should not be underestimated, and the battle in the future is still long, and Apple may not be able to have the last laugh, so it must always be vigilant. Li Zetian is still very happy to have Nokia as a competitor, as the saying goes, there is competition and pressure to make progress, after all, his energy cannot always be focused on a company.

"After the success of Nokia 1011, Nokia will definitely develop a new generation of mobile phones non-stop, and you should also pay attention to it. Li Zetian said.

"Well, I'm going to urge those engineers to speed up their development!" Jobs replied with a nod.

In fact, the accumulated technology has long been enough to develop the Apple phone. It's just that Li Zetian requires the pursuit of excellence and the development of thinner, lighter, and longer standby mobile phones, which is more demanding. At first, when many engineers heard Li Zetian's request, they almost all thought that with the current technology, it was impossible to achieve it. But in the end, under the management of Jobs's almost "iron + roar", one difficulty after another was overcome.

Hehe, but Li Zetian knows that Jobs's "notoriety" resounded throughout Apple, and many people were afraid of him.

"By the way, how is the development of the Safari browser?" Li Zetian asked at this time, thinking that Apple was still developing its own browser.

"Thanks to your design materials, the development of the Safari project is very fast, and now it is two-thirds of the way through, and I expect it to be released in May this year!" Jobs replied.

When Li Zetian heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. In addition to playing games, netizens are browsing the web, and a good browser is naturally particularly important to promote the sales of Apple's computers. Li Zetian regards Apple as his private company, and the better the company develops, the happier he is. He owns more than 80 percent of Apple's shares, and the rest goes to Steve Jobs, Wozniak, and the company's top talent.

Microsoft and Apple are now on the tip of the needle, the indos system and the macOS system are extremely competitive, Li Zetian is still slightly biased towards Apple in his heart, who called Li Zetian to hold more shares in Apple!

“Mr· Li, when it comes to Safari, I suddenly have an offer!" Jobs said, looking at Li Zetian.

"What a proposal, say it. Li Zetian said.

"I plan to let Apple develop its own office software, although Microsoft's office software is very good, but only our own office software is the most suitable for Apple's operating system!"

Li Zetian was slightly stunned, oops, he was negligent!

Apple no longer competes with Microsoft in office software before, on the one hand, because Microsoft office software is really good, and on the other hand, it may be because of Li Zetian, after all, Microsoft office software is designed by him himself. If Apple wants to develop office software, isn't it to challenge its authority? Of course, there is another reason, that is, the competition between Apple and Microsoft has reached a white-hot level, and Jobs proposed to develop Apple's own office software at this time, the main purpose is to grasp the initiative and no longer be subject to Microsoft.

"Okay, I approved your proposal!" Li Zetian nodded in agreement.

Jobs looked happy and thought to himself, Apple's company in Mr· The weight in Li's heart is still higher than that of Microsoft!

“Mr· Li, you see you helped Microsoft design the office suite, so Apple's office software ......," Jobs said directly at Li Zetian.

When Li Zetian heard this, he immediately cried and laughed, this Jobs was so embarrassed to ask me to help Apple design office software...... However, helping Apple is also helping myself, fortunately, I used Apple computers in my previous life, and I have a little impression of Pages office software.

"Okay, I'll also design for Apple!!" Li Zetian nodded again.

Jobs smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, then trouble Mr. · Li, in his busy schedule, he also helps us with software design. ”

In fact, Jobs can't help it, Microsoft's ord, Excel, PPT three office suites are too powerful, if Apple is allowed to design and develop it itself, Jobs does not have the slightest confidence. The bell must be tied to the bell, and Jobs believes that only a genius like Li Zetian can design new software to fight it.

……

The L.Y Foundation has grown into the world's largest foundation, with hundreds of billions of dollars in funds and a variety of huge resources, such as Chronos Hospital, L.Y Orphanage, L.Y Hope Primary and Secondary School,

L.Y The Nature Conservancy!

Chronos Hospital has been working closely with Genomics and, with the support of the L.Y Foundation, Chronos Hospital has become one of the top hospitals in the world, with countless high-tech equipment and advanced medicines, as well as state-of-the-art laboratories.

After the great success of Chronos Hospital, the Chronos Medical College was established on this basis to train more medical talents. The Y Foundation plans to establish a branch hospital in the future. You know, opening a hospital is very profitable. Although Chronos Hospital is a non-profit institution, it can make money to supplement itself and invest more money in medical research.

As for L.Y orphanages, there are more than 2,000 orphans all over the world, and more than 100,000 orphans are adopted every year. However, some can still be cured, and the L.Y Foundation is willing to pay for their treatment. These bitter children are more precocious than normal children, and they are also very hardworking, and many of them have joined Li Zetian's company when they grow up.

Tonight's charity gala is to raise money for orphans.

In addition to the annual donation of Li Zetian's company for tax reduction, the L.Y Foundation is to raise funds externally. With donations from Li Zetian's own companies, the L.Y Foundation has not yet developed to the scale it has today.

Of course, the L.Y Foundation will not sit idly by, and the foundation's money will be used for investment, such as the Japanese stock market crash and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

8 p.m., Hilton Hotel.

The L.Y Foundation invites all the celebrities of society to participate, and at this time, the hotel is bustling with celebrities and rich people at any time.

A silver elongated Rollslas car drove towards the hotel and pulled up at the door.

For a while, everyone's eyes were attracted, and countless reporters around raised their cameras to shoot.

As soon as the door opened, the flashing lights clicked and flashed.

Li Zetian was wearing a black suit, and Yu Jingqiu was wearing a white long skirt and walked out of the car one after another.

Then, Li Zetian took Yu Jingqiu's arm and walked into the hotel.

"There are a lot of people!" Li Zetian looked around and said.

Yu Jingqiu smiled slightly: "Rich people from all over the United States, or well-known people who are keen on charity, have come over, of course there are more people." ”

"Hehe, isn't there a lot of money to be raised tonight!" Li Zetian said with a smile.

"Tonight, you want to donate a little more, you know?!" Yu Jingqiu hugged Li Zetian's arm and said with a charming smile.

"I know, I don't support you, who supports you?" Li Zetian looked at Yu Jingqiu's beautiful and delicate face, and his electrified autumn water eyes, he suddenly felt uneasy, and hurriedly promised.

"Well, that's good!" Yu Jingqiu nodded to Li Zetian with a smile like a flower.

When the people at the party saw Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu, they stepped forward to say hello.

Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu bowed slightly.

Soon, Li Zetian saw Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

“Mr· Li, you're here too!" said Bill Gates with a smile.

"Well, this charity party is organized by the L.Y Foundation, I'll support it!" Li Zetian nodded and said, then turned his head to look at Warren Buffett, and greeted, "Mr. Buffett, long time no see!"

"yes, it's been years. When Warren Buffett looked at Li Zetian, he sighed very emotionally, after so many years, that young man has become mature, and what he has achieved can only be matched by others. Buffett feels that he has developed Berkshire Hathaway very well, and can even be said to have created a legend, and he himself has won the title of "stock god", but compared with Li Zetian, he feels that he is nothing.

"Congratulations, Mr. Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway is now a huge success, with a market capitalization of more than $50 billion. This is all inseparable from your strategic planning and outstanding astonishing vision! The name of the god of stocks is worthy of its name!"

Buffett's old face was slightly red, and he shook his head and said: "In front of you, I don't dare to be a god, you are the real god!"

Li Zetian said modestly: "My understanding of the financial market is completely a layman. You know, I'm just a computer engineer, so I know how to ...... finance."

This Nima is also too modest.

Warren Buffett was stunned.

"By the way, Mr. Li, you invested in Berkshire Hathaway back then, and you are also one of the majority shareholders of the company, so you naturally have the responsibility to contribute to the development of the company. Do you think there are any good investment projects right now? I'll see if I can run into a dead mouse again!" Buffett suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and then he asked.

Li Zetian was stunned, and suddenly smiled bitterly.

"We'll talk about this later, the charity gala is about to start. Li Zetian said.

"Okay, then we'll talk about it later, that's it!" Buffett said.

Bill Gates said with a smile on the side: "Chronos, it seems that Warren Buffett has decided on you and wants to get a few good projects from you!

"Okay, no problem, of course we're welcome!" Without waiting for Li Zetian to answer, Buffett preemptively said.

Li Zetian was speechless.

He didn't think of any projects himself, but these two have already begun to talk about investment.

Well, with his brain, it's not difficult to think of a couple of money-making projects.

At this time, Yu Jingqiu beckoned to Li Zetian and motioned for him to come over.

Li Zetian said goodbye to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

At this time, the lights around dimmed, only the lights on the stage were still on, and the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone sat down along the seats. After a while, Yu Jingqiu and Li Zetian walked to the stage.

"Welcome to this charity gala, I am Mrs. Lee, Chairman of the L.Y Foundation. Li, who is this person next to me, I think everyone knows him, so I don't need to introduce it!" Yu Jingqiu said with a smile.
