Chapter 201: We Are the First (First Update)
The next day, the world's major media overwhelmingly reported Li Zetian's return to Apple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Wall Street Journal was full of confidence in Li Zetian, with the headline reading: "Chronos· Li returns to Apple, and the world's major computer manufacturers tremble in awe!!"
Of course, some media and newspapers are not very optimistic that Li Zetian will be able to redevelop Apple after returning to Apple.
For example, Japan's "Mainichi Shimbun" newspaper reported: "In the Walkman market, Sony's Walkman has surpassed Apple's Walkman in terms of market share, and with Sony's development and design capabilities, Apple is not its opponent at all! Even though Chronos· Li is very talented, but still can't save the terminally ill Apple!"
People around the world are also talking about it, and they have made various conjectures about what happened after Li Zetian returned to Apple.
"Apple has been in decline for a few years, but Chronos· Li's return will definitely get Apple back on its feet!"
"It's a shame that the Apple-l, Apple-ll, and Walkman were so amazing back then...... Hope Chronos· After Li's return, Apple was able to develop new products!"
“Chronos· Li is so handsome, he is a fan-like man!"
“……”
……
Apple CEO Vincent Gay took the initiative to submit his resignation to Li Zetian at this time.
During his tenure, he did nothing, and even made Apple almost bankrupt, although the main responsibility lies with Thomas Rockefeller, but he also has an unshirkable responsibility, and resignation is the best and smartest choice. If he is expelled by Li Zetian, it will be even more embarrassing.
Of course, Li Zetian approved, he wanted to find a CEO who could help Apple rise, and Vincent Gay obviously did not have this ability.
Right now, Sun Microsystems is full of talent, and Li Zetian wants to poach Jobs and Wozniak into Apple.
So, after Vincent Gay resigned, Li Zetian asked Jobs and Wozniak out.
The news of Vincent Gay's resignation was already full of storms, and Li Zetian asked the two of them out at this time, and they actually roughly guessed what the situation was.
When Jobs and Wozniak came to Li Zetian's villa, Li Zetian asked bluntly: "Jobs, Wozniak, are you willing to come to Apple?"
Jobs always wanted to go back to Apple, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "I do!"
Wozniak looked at Jobs and nodded: "I want too!"
"Very good," Li Zetian said with a smile, "Jobs will be the CEO in the future, and Wozniak will be the chief scientist of Apple!"
In the study, Dongfang Yuqin poured three glasses of water for them, and then sat on a chair next to Li Zetian.
Li Zetian said: "Apple's current situation, I think you all know something, how to redevelop Apple, I want to hear your views first!"
Wozniak is good at development, but if you want to manage and develop the company, then it won't work, he looked at Jobs again and asked Jobs to talk.
Before Jobs came, he naturally thought about this question, and then replied without thinking: "If I were the CEO, I would cut most of Apple's projects, lay off a large number of people, and leave only the personal computer, software development department, and Walkman!"
Wozniak was stunned when he heard this, if he followed what Jobs said, Apple would lose a lot, and many projects would be done in vain, which would only make Apple hurt. If he were the CEO, he would never dare to do that. Wozniak couldn't help but worry about Jobs at this time, he secretly glanced at Li Zetian, saw that he had no expression on his face, he couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed in his heart, Jobs was afraid that there was no hope of returning to Apple......
However, things are often not the same as you imagined!
When Li Zetian smiled and said to Jobs, "You and I think about the same", Wozniak was dumbfounded......
Li Zetian saw Wozniak's bewildered face, so he explained with a smile: "Many of Apple's projects are not profitable, or can only make a small amount of money, rather than using the company's R&D strength in these places, it is better to concentrate on the development of personal computers and Walkman." Apple needs a drastic makeover now, and what Steve Jobs said is exactly what I want!"
Wozniak didn't understand it very well, but he also felt that what Li Zetian said made sense.
Li Zetian turned his head to look at Dongfang Yuqin and said, "Dongfang Yuqin, take out Apple's documents." ”
"Okay. ”
Dongfang Yuqin got up and walked to a safe, took out the key, opened the door, and took out a document inside. Afterwards, Dongfang Yuqin walked up to the photocopier and made two copies.
Li Zetian said: "In recent days, I have sorted out the future development direction of Apple and written it on these documents. ”
Dongfang Yuqin gave Jobs and Wozniak a document at this time, and the two listened to Li Zetian while looking at it.
The title of the front page instantly caught the eyes of Jobs and Wozniak, who couldn't help but say: "CD Walkman !!"
Li Zetian said: "That's right, the tape Walkman is outdated, and Apple wants to develop a CD Walkman! Apple's Seagate Technology Company and Philips Company have jointly developed a CD, but Apple obviously doesn't know how to make good use of it!"
Li Zetian smiled, took a sip of water, and continued, "CDs are easy to use, and the storage capacity, sound quality, transportation, service life and other aspects are stronger than tapes, CD replaces tapes sooner or later, and even it can replace vinyl records!!"
No one would believe that CDs could replace vinyl? Jobs and Wozniak were all surprised to hear this!
Li Zetian said confidently: "CD records are different from the hissing sound of vinyl records, it gives people a crystal clear music experience, and the sound quality is very good." The cost of producing CDs is estimated to be the pennies of plastic, and the transportation is small, and it can be sold for tens of dollars at will. In addition, CD records do not jump, and the amazing profits and consumer acceptance and affordability are obvious.
The mass production of vinyl light pressing copper mold has made each dish have a cost of a few dollars, which does not calculate the cost of polyethylene raw materials, and the transportation is heavy and occupies space, and it is easy to lose the jumper if it is not well preserved, and it is easy to lose the jumper, and if it is sold for dozens of dollars, I am afraid that the profit is not big and the consumer's desire to buy is not high. In contrast, vinyl is bound to be replaced by CDs in the mainstream market!"
Jobs nodded: "Producing CD records is obviously more profitable than vinyl records. Driven by profits, the replacement of vinyl by CD is an inevitable choice under market competition! Apple's production of CD Walkman, which can make the Walkman smaller and more exquisite, and the sound quality is far superior to that of the tape Walkman, and at the same time, CD stores more songs, which will definitely be very popular!!
Li Zetian nodded: "That's right! In addition, CDs are not just audio CDs! You can notice that a 4.7-inch (about 12 centimeters) CD can store a staggering 6.3 billion bytes of information! If you use it on a computer, what kind of wonderful sparks do you think it will happen?!"
As soon as Jobs and Wozniak heard this, their eyes instantly lit up and their expressions were full of excitement!
Wozniak said excitedly: "Mr. · Li, we can redefine the purpose of CDs as a medium for computer software. In the future, software will no longer use tapes with small storage capacity, but CDs-ROMs, read-only optical drives!!
In this way, not only will the software be stored for a long time, but the software developers will also be able to develop more powerful software! The previous software was only a few kilobytes, but the current software has several megabytes, and the software will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and the capacity of a tape is simply not enough!
There is no doubt that CD-ROMs will be very popular, and if Apple computers are the first to install optical drives, then our computers will be very popular!"
Wozniak's face was full of excitement, and he wanted to start working on CD-ROMs now.
"Don't worry, keep reading!" Li Zetian reminded them to continue reading the documents.
Jobs and Wozniak nodded, then looked down. Soon, they saw the PC chapter.
When they saw one of the pictures above, the two couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Is this a lamp-style computer?!" Wozniak was surprised.
Li Zetian said with a smile: "That's right! To be precise, it should be called a desk lamp all-in-one machine! Below is a white round box, which is equivalent to the host of the computer." The monitor is a 9-inch LCD that uses a swingable arm to position it!
“Mr· Li, your design is so cool, it's so stylish and technological, I just look at the pictures and want to buy one!" Wozniak said.
Jobs also nodded again and again: "The exquisite design, once launched, will surely shock everyone!"
"This is the first product in the iMac series, so it will be called the iMac-G1 all-in-one first! In the future, Apple's computer products will only develop desktop all-in-one computers and notebooks, and we will be the first !! to concentrate on what we focus on," Li Zetian said.
PS: Present the first watch, there will be at least 2 more today, as for whether there will be five more today, I don't know, hehe......
