After Li Zetian hung up the phone, he dialed Yu Jingqiu's BP machine. In the 70s of the 20th century, the pager communication business began to become popular and spread around the world. However, the price was very expensive, and Li Zetian was reluctant to buy it, but Yu Jingqiu was equipped with a Motorola pager.

After a while, Yu Jingqiu called him back.

Li Zetian told her the good news that Apple-l was waiting for the cover of "Popular Electronics".

When Yu Jingqiu heard this, he was very happy and said: "That's just great, the circulation of "Popular Electronics" is hundreds of thousands, and many computer enthusiasts are loyal fans of the magazine, I think, Apple-l personal computers will definitely be popular in the United States!"

"Yes, we're going to succeed!"

"Congratulations, Zetian!"

"You should say, congratulations!! you're one of us!"

"Yes, congratulations!" Yu Jingqiu said with a smile.

"By the way, I have one more thing I want to ask, I heard Chen Ruoxi say, does your father know about the two of us?"

Yu Jingqiu was silent for a moment and replied, "Yes!"

"Uncle, he's against it?"

"Yes, though, he doesn't know you at all. If he knew you were so good, he would like you very much!"

"Hehe, of course!"

Li Zetian continued to chat for a while, and then hung up the phone.

……

On September 24, Solomon called to say that Popular Electronics magazine had decided to publish Apple-l as a cover story on October 1.

When Li Zetian heard this, he was full of motivation and passion, his career was about to take off, and the era that belonged to me Li Zetian was coming!!

Banking magnate JK Morgan created the Morgan era!

Oil magnate John Rockefeller creates the Rockefeller era!

And I, a Chinese from China, will create the era of Li Zetian that belongs to science and technology!

Tremble, in this era, I'm coming!!!

Li Zetian felt as if the blood was burning!

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Zetian went to Intel to negotiate the most important accessories business - Intel8080 microprocessor!

Intel was founded in 1968 and manufactured the first processor, the 4004, in 1971, however, the company's main business was to develop SRAM and DRAM memory chips. Although the 4004, 8008, and 8080 microprocessors have been released in recent years, the market response has been mediocre, and Intel does not attach importance to the microprocessor department. Even in the early 80s, Intel's main business was still memory chips.

At this moment, when the people of Intel heard that Li Zetian was going to order 1000 8080 microprocessors, they were all crazy with excitement, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Carlos Stephen, the project leader, said, "Mr. Li, are you sure you want an order for 1,000 yuan?"

"Of course, but you'll have to make huge concessions on the price!"

"Of course, no problem, for large customers, we at Intel have always been willing to offer very good prices! The original price of the 8080 microprocessor is $359, and we can reduce the price to $150!!"

"$60 a piece, if it doesn't work, then I'll go to Motorola, their company's chips are also very good!" Li Zetian said lightly.

"What?$60?Mr.li, you've cut too much!" Carlos Stephen was stunned.

"First of all, even if it is sold for 60 dollars, I believe you will definitely make a profit; secondly, your company's Intel8080 microprocessor has a very low market share, rather than put it in the warehouse, it is better to sell it to me; finally, and most importantly, I buy the Intel8080, which can open up the popularity of your product!!"

"Mr.li, what is your company's product?"

"I've got one with me, and if you want to see it, I can show it to you!"

The head of the Intel microprocessor project nodded: "I'm curious about what kind of computer is a personal computer, and it can also open up visibility for our 8080 processor!"

"Then please wait and see! Zhang Yan !!"

Li Zetian shouted to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan nodded, went to the trunk of the car and hugged Apple-l.

Just as Zhang Yan was assembling the Apple-l, more and more employees came to see the lively Intel company.

This time Apple-l didn't drop the chain, and the boot is normal!

Subsequently, Zhang Yan also wrote some small programs in the BASIC language on it, and the friends of Intel were all stunned!

Although the Intel 8080 microprocessor was developed by their company, they did not know how to commercialize it.

"Does this computer use our Intel 8080 microprocessor?" asked Carlos Stephen with a look of surprise!

"That's right, it's the Intel 8080 microprocessor! However, we have the option of using a Motorola processor! So, if we can't talk to Intel today, we'll go to Motorola right away. In addition, as a friendly reminder, this product is called the Apple-l model personal computer, and it will be on the cover of "Popular Electronics" on October 1st! I think what this means, Mr. Carlos Stephen should know!

Carlos Stephen's heart tightened, such a great product, but also on the "Volkswagen Electronics", there is no doubt that Apple-l will be popular all over the United States, no, it should be popular all over the world, if Apple-l uses Intel8080 microprocessor, it will undoubtedly make 8080 microprocessor become everyone's research object, and its popularity will increase greatly, when the time comes, orders will inevitably be continuous!!

"Mr.li, let's talk about it again, the price is negotiable! However, $60 is indeed too low, and our Intel company can't make any money at all! Why not $70?"

Li Zetian shook his head, "Mr. Carlos Stephen, I'm afraid I have to go to Motorola to see who gives more favorable terms!"

As he spoke, Li Zetian stood up from his chair and made a gesture to leave.

In fact, Apple has never used Motorola's microprocessor for development, and Motorola's 6600 is much worse than Intel8080, and Li Zetian looks down on it.

Seeing that Li Zetian was leaving, Carlos Stephen was anxious, thinking that even if he didn't make money, he would get an order from Apple, first, to hit Motorola, a competitor, and second, to expand the popularity of the 8080 processor and make money from other manufacturers!!

"Mr.li, please stay!! we agree to the price of $60!!"

Li Zetian was secretly happy in his heart, so he sat back in the chair.

"Mr. Carlos Stephen, in addition to the $60 8080 processor, Intel must also ensure that the demand for orders to Apple is met first. Once Apple-l is on fire, 1000 processors will not be enough!!"

"No problem, Mr.li, we can do all these requests of yours!"

"Okay, in that case, we'll sign the contract now!!" Li Zetian smiled, he was actually still calculating in his heart, sign the contract first, so as not to have a long night, Intel's microprocessor production line is very small, the output is limited, 1000 pieces of 8080 microprocessors are enough for Intel to produce for a while, and MITS wants to get 8080 microprocessors in a short time, I'm afraid it will not be easy......
