Chapter 202: I'll Bear the Infamy! (Second Update)
Regarding the notebook, Li Zetian said: "Apple's notebook is named PowerBook, which means excellent performance and powerful notebook. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe first-generation PowerBook uses the reduced instruction set processor ARM1, which acts as a trackball and palm rest for the mouse, which are the two major features of this notebook. Especially the palm rest, no computer company has had this design before, you can see that the palm rest in front of the keyboard can put the hand on it, so that the user is more comfortable when operating the laptop, and the trackball in the middle of the palm rest can be rotated to move the position of the mouse!"
Wozniak said: "The design of the palm rest is so user-friendly, I think my hands will not be so tired when working with a laptop like this!"
Jobs said: "This patent application, I'm sure, palm rest will become the standard !! for laptops"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, "I've already asked people to apply for a patent!"
Jobs thought for a moment and said, "The trackball is also a good design, but it just feels a little awkward. ”
The capacitive-based touchpad mouse had not yet been invented, and it would have been invented by George Gerpheide in 1988 without Li Zetian's human intervention. At present, PowerBook naturally can't use the touchpad, and the trackball right is an alternative, which does look a little weird, and it's a helpless move. However, the vacant space in the middle of the palm rest is wasted if it is not used, and the function of the trackball can indeed attract the user's attention and add a sense of technology.
Li Zetian chatted with Jobs and Wozniak for an hour or two before ending the conversation.
A few days later, Sun Microsystems and Apple made major personnel changes.
Steve Jobs became CEO of Apple, and Wozniak became Chief Scientist of Apple!
Dr. Jim Clark is CEO of Sun Microsystems, and William Nelson Joy is Chief Scientist of Sun Microsystems!
Personnel adjustments are nothing, but what Jobs has done since taking office has made the global media excited and crazy!
On March 20, Apple held a press conference announcing the cessation of several projects within the company, leaving only the personal computer, software development, and Walkman Walkman. At the same time, plans to lay off 3,000 employees were announced.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the industry and caused major media reports around the world.
The New York Times said: "When Steve Jobs became CEO, he immediately cut most of Apple's projects, which is undoubtedly self-destructing the Great Wall, and Chronos Li's decision-making has gone terribly wrong! Apple is beyond cure!"
The Wall Street Journal was also not optimistic about Jobs: "Apple spent a lot of money on other projects, and as soon as Jobs took office, he did not study whether these projects could be profitable at all, and cut almost all of them across the board, wasting Apple's years of hard work! Jobs can be called the CEO of the most likely loser of this century!!
The Los Angeles Times sang: "After such a toss by Jobs, Apple's company has shrunk seriously and its market value has fallen sharply!"
In fact, almost no media is optimistic about Jobs, thinking that Li Zetian made a big mistake!
At this time, when Thomas Rockefeller heard the news, his face was full of shock, and he muttered: "What is Chronos Li doing? Is it self-destroying the Great Wall?" Suddenly, Thomas Rockefeller was glad that he had sold Apple, and at the same time felt that Li Zetian might have got his head in the water and let Jobs do nonsense!
When the outside world was scolding Jobs, he turned a deaf ear and was busy laying off people and selling Apple's assets!
People in Apple were panicked, and they didn't dare to look Jobs in the eyes, for fear of being cut by him.
In an interview with media reporters, Li Zetian came forward to support Jobs, and when he was interviewed by media reporters, he said: "At present, many people are talking about Jobs, saying that he is incompetent, saying that he ruined Apple, but in fact, I want to say that everything Jobs did was authorized by me, and I asked for the cutting of many projects of Apple! Now Apple has been sick for a long time, and it has to undergo major surgery! If you have any doubts about my decision, then please wait a few months and see again!"
The reporters were surprised, but they really didn't expect that Jobs was just the executor, and Li Zetian was the one who made the plan.
"That's how Chronos Li saved Apple?oh, it's so disappointing!"
"Disappointment?How did Chronos-Li disappoint us?Maybe he thought about something, you didn't think of it, you can do it!"
"Damn, if Lao Tzu had that ability, he would still be chatting with you here!"
“……”
Li Zetian's interview immediately spread to the world.
Public opinion has changed from one side to two factions.
Many people think that Li Zetian's move is profound.
"Who is Chronos Li, and how could his decision be wrong?"
"yes, Chronos Li must have a trick in his mouth!"
“……”
A large number of experts and professors began to whitewash Li Zetian, explaining what benefits Li Zetian's decision had for Apple, so as to show that he was also very good!
Look, my name as an expert and professor is not called in vain, I know the deep meaning behind Li Zetian's decision!
Of course, there are also some experts and professors who criticize and satirize Li Zetian's decision-making to win attention.
After more than a month, Apple realized its plan to streamline its administration, leaving only some of the hardware and software developers of Sunbird and Atari, and the rest were sold to Flamingo for $100 million, and those Apple printers were also sold to Li Zetian's companies at a low price.
Apple threw away the burden and went into battle with ease, starting to launch three products designed by Li Zetian: the CD-Walkman Walkman, the iMac desktop all-in-one and the PowerBook laptop. At the same time, CD-ROMs were also being developed.
In fact, Li Zetian once considered letting Apple develop mobile phones, but when he thought that Motormotora had been developing "Big Brother" mobile phones for almost 10 years, Apple couldn't catch up, so he didn't join in the excitement. When Qualcomm's CDMA is developed or Europe's GSM is developed, that is, the 2G era is coming, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Motormore has begun to fall behind in the 2G era, thus allowing Nokia mobile phones to surpass !!
