Jingle Bell !!

Early Saturday morning, a doorbell rang outside the door. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Steve Gary Wozniak's mother heard the bell and immediately put down what she was doing and went to open the door.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Seeing that it was a raw face, and that it was still yellow, Wozniak's mother couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Li Zetian replied with a smile on his face: "Hello, my name is Chronos Lee, and I am looking for Steve Gary Wozniak!"

"Please come in!"

"Thank you!"

Wozniak's mother took Li Zetian to the living room, and then shouted upstairs, "Steve, someone is looking for you!"

After a while, Steve Gary Wozniak, the god of technology, appeared.

It's just that his appearance surprised Li Zetian, unkempt, with long hair and a big beard, he is completely dressed up as a hippie nowadays.

However, it doesn't matter how you look, it's not a beauty pageant, just the technology!

Li Zetian stood up from his chair, with a warm smile on his face, and greeted him: "Hello, Wozniak, I'm Chronos Lee, an employee of Atari, and I heard there that you are a very good electronic engineer, so I came to visit!"

Wozniak looked surprised, "Hello, please take a seat!"

"Do you have something to do with me?" he asked.

Li Zetian nodded and said straight to the point: "Actually, I came to you to invite you to work in the company!"

First of all, Wozniak did not know Li Zetian, and secondly, he worked well in Hewlett-Packard and was well paid, so he was reluctant to leave. So he refused: "I'm sorry......"

"Please don't refuse yet, wait until I finish speaking, and then you will make !!a decision," Li Zetian directly interrupted, "I am going to develop a personal computer that can be affordable for every family, I need your help, Wozniak, if you can come to my company, although the salary cannot be compared with HP, but I can give you 10% of the shares!" Li Zetian looked at his eyes very sincerely and said.

Regarding the development and future of personal computers, Wozniak discussed with others in the computer club, and what Li Zetian said did not move him.

"What's the name of your company and how big is it?"

"The company is still in the process of being registered, and its name is Apple,"

As for the scale, it is even more embarrassing, Li Zetian is still a single commander, and he is embarrassed to say it.

When Wozniak heard this, he was stunned for a while, thinking that such a company is simply unreliable, not to mention giving 10% of the shares, even giving 20% of the shares is a bunch of useless numbers!

"Sorry, Chronos, thank you so much for the invitation, but I'm very happy working at Hewlett-Packard and I'm not planning to change jobs!"

Wozniak stood up and made a gesture of send-off.

"You can think about it carefully, what we did was a great and creative thing, and it became a milestone in the history of computer development!!" Li Zetian also stood up at this time and said slowly, "I will come to visit you again in the future, I hope you can agree to my invitation!"

Li Zetian took his leave and left Wozniak's house.

As soon as Li Zetian left, Wozniak's mother said to her son: "Steve, that person just now looks like a liar, you can't be stupid and give up your job at Hewlett-Packard and follow him to start a business!"

"Of course not, Mother, haven't I already rejected him?"

"But he still doesn't give up, he will definitely come again!"

Indeed, Li Zetian came to visit Wozniak again at 7 o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Wozniak's parents did not have a good face for him.

Li Zetian looked at Wozniak and asked, "Wozniak, what are you thinking about? Do you want to stay in Hewlett-Packard for the rest of your life and be an ordinary engineer, or are you willing to create a great new era with me!!

"I'm sorry, Chronos, my whole family doesn't support me going to your company!

When Li Zetian heard this, his heart was like a lightning strike, and he came to California this time to poach Wozniak. But my temple is small, so I can't move the god at all.

Li Zetian said goodbye in a huff, but he did not give up his determination to develop a personal computer!

"If you don't move Wozniak, I'll do it myself!!"

A week later, Apple was registered in California and is still a wholly owned subsidiary of Umbrella.

Subsequently, Li Zetian quit his job at Atari and prepared to concentrate on the development of Apple.

He began to look for a suitable place to work in San Jose, but the rent was too expensive, and Li Zetian was discouraged. So, Li Zetian asked the rental agency if anyone was willing to take a taxi garage. I never thought that there are really many homeowners in taxi garages.

In fact, the garage culture in the United States has a long history, Disney garage, Hewlett-Packard garage, Henry Ford garage, etc., of course, including Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc......

Li Zetian successfully rented a very spacious garage for $300 a month, and the owner of the house was also a Chinese, named Tian Shuai, very young, about 30 years old.

Through chatting, Li Zetian learned that he was a top student at Stanford University, obtained an MBA, and after graduation, he joined Enron, one of the world's largest energy, goods and services companies, and became a senior administrator four years later. However, a week ago, he offered to resign!

The fact that a Chinese can become a senior administrator in a Fortune 500 company as large as Enron in just four years is enough to show that he has outstanding ability and unlimited future, but why did he suddenly take the initiative to resign?

This has to be very confusing.

Although he did not say why he voluntarily resigned, his words were full of dissatisfaction and disdain for Enron.

Li Zetian heard a little about Enron, but that was all in 2001, this year, Enron suddenly filed for bankruptcy protection in the New York Bankruptcy Court, and the case became the second largest bankruptcy case in the history of the United States, but what really made Enron famous all over the world was the financial fraud scandal that made this company with hundreds of billions of assets bankrupt in a few weeks!

Li Zetian secretly speculated that perhaps after Tian Shuai's position was promoted to senior administrator, he had more contact with the company's things, and when he found out that Enron Company was secretly making false accounts and corruption at the top, he was unwilling to go along with it, so he took the initiative to resign. If this is the case, then Tian Shuai's character and talent are combined, and he is a rare talent!

Li Zetian has been looking for a trustworthy and capable person to manage the company for him!

Li Zetian wants to develop Shatian Company into a family office!

Family offices are unfamiliar to many people, because only the world's top wealthy families have family offices!!

The term family office originated from the ancient Roman "Domus" (family manager) and the medieval "Domo" (chief steward), and the modern sense of the family office appeared in the mid-19th century, when some tycoons who seized the opportunity of the industrial revolution brought together financial experts, legal experts and financial experts to study how to manage and protect their family's wealth and a wide range of business interests. This has led to the emergence of a Single-Family-Office (SFO) that serves only one family. In 1882, John D. Rockefeller established the world's first family office, and more and more of the top overseas wealthy families have adopted this model to manage their wealth, such as Morgan, Murdoch, Bill Gates, Hilton, Li Ka-shing, etc. After the development of China, more and more people in the mainland have begun to choose to preserve and inherit their wealth through family offices, such as Pan Shiyi of SOHO China, Wu Yajun of Longfor Real Estate, Zhang Yin of Nine Dragons Paper, etc.

However, Li Zetian is not completely at ease with Tian Shuai, and will conduct a long-term investigation of him in the future.

"If he can be a good CEO of Apple, maybe he can manage Shatian Company for himself......" Li Zetian looked at Tian Shuai, and suddenly had the idea of pulling him to Apple!
