Chapter Forty-Six: The Mac Computer Shocks the Audience
Although Apple did not have much money, in order to recruit talents for the Mac lab, Li Zetian did not hesitate to extend an evil hand to DEC, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Xerox, and many other companies, and poached people with high salaries! At the same time, he went to Stanford University to recruit a group of young computer students!
In addition, preparations for the Apple-l project are about to begin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As Apple's scale grows larger and larger, Li Zetian has to manage Microsoft again, and he has no skills for a while. At this time, he thought of Tian Shuai and wanted to ask him to be the CEO of Apple.
On the evening of December 1, Li Zetian personally visited Tian Shuai's home.
After the door opened, Tian Shuai saw that it was Li Zetian, and his expression was very surprised.
"Chronos, why are you here?!"
"Hehe, don't you invite me in for a cup of coffee?" Li Zetian said with a smile.
"Come in!"
Tian Shuai invited Li Zetian into the house, and then came to the living room.
"You sit down first, I'll make a cup of coffee. ”
"Okay, thank you!"
After a while, the coffee was ready.
Li Zetian took the coffee, took a sip gently, then looked at Tian Shuai and said, "Let's get straight to the point, the purpose of my visit this time is to ask you to be the CEO of Apple!!
Tian Shuai has just been promoted to the general manager of Exxon Production Research, a subsidiary of Exxon in the United States, and has a great future.
Although Apple sold nearly 3,000 Apple-ls, its total sales combined were less than $6 million.
Exxon, on the other hand, is a multi-billion dollar international corporation!
The comparison between Apple and Exxon is nothing in comparison!
Seeing him hesitating, Li Zetian couldn't help but ask: "Tian Shuai, do you want to sell oil for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world with me?"
When Tian Shuai heard this, he was shocked!
He was silent for a moment, slowly raised his head to look at Li Zetian, and said in a very firm tone: "Mr.li, I decided to join Apple !!"
Hearing this, Li Zetian smiled, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Welcome to join !!"
So three days later, Tian Shuai resigned from Exxon Production Research and officially joined Apple as CEO.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zetian established the board of directors and served as the chairman, and Zhang Yan, Tian Shuai, Steve Jobs, and Steve Gary Wozniak were all executive directors of the board.
As soon as Tian Shuai took office, he used what he had learned and his advanced management experience in the world's top 500 companies to immediately make drastic improvements to Apple, making Apple more formalized and more like an international enterprise!!
Half a month later, Apple has a new look, and all departments run freely and perform their own duties.
The chief financial officer, personnel director, etc. have all invited professionals to serve as the chief engineer, while Li Zetian only serves as the chief engineer of Apple.
At this time, the Mac Lab recruited a total of 35 people, all of whom were elite talents.
Li Zetian felt that there were almost enough people and decided to develop Mac computers.
On December 20th, Li Zetian asked the members of the Mac Lab to sign a confidentiality agreement, and then held a meeting.
In the conference room, Li Zetian looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Apple's purpose in establishing the Mac Lab is to hope that the Mac Lab can become another 'Weasel Factory' and create the most advanced products for the company! Next, I will let everyone know what the Mac Lab is going to do!"
Burst!
The slide projector is on!
A design appeared on the screen, which was the Macintosh computer launched by Apple in January 1984, but the shape has changed slightly, not boxy, but with four corners and a larger display. In addition, the mouse has two clicks built on the left and right, with a pulley in the middle.
Li Zetian introduced: "This is the computer I designed for Mac! The host and the monitor are a whole piece, as for the keyboard, not to mention, everyone must be very strange about what this thing is!" Li Zetian pointed to the mouse and said, "This is called a mouse, it is an indicator tool, the right hand holds the mouse to control its movement, and the left and right buttons can be used to click on files and other functions, and the middle wheel can move the page up and down." You must be wondering what the mouse is used for, it seems that the operating system we use doesn't need these things at all! Okay, so let's look at the most important thing on the Mac computer - the graphical user operating system!!
After saying that, the slide projector flashed for a moment, and then a new pattern appeared on the big screen, on which was the interface of the graphical user's operating system.
When I saw this interface, everyone shouted "wow"!
At this time, the slide projector is still playing new patterns all the time, showing the use of a complete set of graphical interface operating systems!
In the process, everyone has been shocked!
When the slide projector ended, everyone still felt unsatisfied!
"Okay, this is the Mac computer I designed!!" Li Zetian pretended lightly~~ and forced.
When everyone heard this, they threw themselves at Li Zetian!
In the conference room, there was no sound for a long time, and everyone looked up at Li Zetian standing in front of the screen.
Oh God, what a genius it takes to design such a perfect product?!!!
Some female employees couldn't help but fall in love with Li Zetian, and their eyes were full of this fiery fire of infatuation.
Seeing that they were all in a daze, Li Zetian couldn't help but "cough" twice and said, "What do you think?"
"Flawless !!"
"Unbeatable !!"
"Even God couldn't have designed a computer!!"
“……”
Li Zetian nodded with a smile and said, "The Mac computer is good, but it is very difficult to develop it!"
Jobs stood up at this time and solemnly promised Li Zetian: "Mr.li please rest assured, I firmly believe that we will definitely be able to develop Mac computers!! Jobs was already very excited at the moment, and it was a supreme honor to be able to design such an excellent product with a team!!
"Yes, we're going to develop a Mac!"
“……”
The members of the Mac Lab chimed in, and everyone was full of excitement and fighting spirit!
Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction and announced: "Starting today, the Mac computer project will be officially launched!"
Bang Bang Bang !!!
The crowd applauded vigorously!
The applause lasted for a long time, and everyone's palms didn't stop clapping painfully.
Li Zetian smiled slightly, pretended to be forced, and announced the end of the meeting.
After leaving the Mac lab, Apple's affairs were pretty much taken care of. Li Zetian is ready to leave for Harvard University. It's almost Christmas, and Bill Gates hasn't promised Li Zetian to join Microsoft. Therefore, Li Zetian decided to come to the door to persuade him in person before the winter vacation of Harvard University!!
Without Bill Gates, Microsoft might not have been able to get on board with IBM......
PS: There are so few recommendations today, and the small goals of the four chapters can't be achieved.
