Chapter 317: Jobs
"What is the temperament of the Wall-E company?" Zhong Yuemin curious.
The curly-haired man pointed at Vali Alpha, "Just like Vali, cool, dedicated, passionate, romantic, and smart!"
"Can you tell me more about it?" Zhong Yuemin said with interest.
"Of course. The curly-haired man was obviously happy to communicate with Zhong Yuemin as well, "Wall-E is the coolest computer, and Wall-E Alpha is synonymous with coolness, and everyone wants to have it!"
WALL-E has been working Earth for 700 years!
And he is always passionate, enthusiastic and curious about all things, and he can also watch love musicals and pursue Eva from heaven to earth, which is so romantic!
On top of that, he's a garbage disposal robot and has learned to do so many things, what a smart little guy!"
Zhong Yuemin asked again: "You must know that smart people are difficult to manage, how do you do it?"
"As long as there is a great vision, a reasonable system, an excellent team, and rich returns, you don't need to manage these people at all, they will work hard and seize the opportunity desperately, because no one wants to get ahead more than them, and understands the malice of this society better, you must know that this kind of place is not easy to find!"
"Is it just like you?" Zhong Yuemin asked, looking into the curly-haired man's eyes.
The other party was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It's the same as me!"
Zhong Yuemin stretched out his hand, "Let's get to know me again, my name is Zhong Yuemin." ”
"My name is Frank, Frank Gallagher. The curly-haired man hurriedly held Zhong Yuemin's hand, and then hesitated a little: "You look a little familiar?"
Zhong Yuemin took out a newspaper, unfolded the recruitment on it, compared it, and said with a smile: "Maybe you have seen me in the newspaper." ”
Frank's eyes widened, "Mr. Min, my God! I didn't even recognize you!"
"Maybe I'm not handsome enough!" Zhong Yuemin joked.
"Forehead ······" Frank didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Long story short, I'm looking for an operations manager to be in charge of the House of Vale, what do you think?"
"What?" Frank didn't understand.
Zhong Yuemin said: "I mean, do you want to try it?"
"Me?" Frank said in disbelief, a little flustered, "I'm just a hotel front desk, I've never worked in the tech industry, I ······"
"Okay, Frank, you're a smart man, are you going to work at WALL-E?" Zhong Yuemin interrupted Frank and forced him into the eyes, "It's not easy to find such a good place!"
"I want to!" Frank replied nervously.
"OK!" Zhong Yuemin said: "Come to the Wall-E Company at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to report, first be my special assistant, responsible for the expansion of the Wall-E House, if you can't do it well, I will kick you out at any time!"
"Yes, sir!" said Frank excitedly.
Zhong Yuemin also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hoping that he didn't find the wrong person, otherwise his face would be swollen!
······
"What an ingenious recruitment!" said a tall young man with parted hair, a hooked nose, and a beard on his face.
Zhong Yuemin turned his head and said with a smile: "Talents are rare!"
"You're right!" the tall young man smiled and stretched out his hand, "I'm Steve Jobs, maybe you've heard of me!"
"I'm Zhong Yuemin, maybe you've heard of me!" Zhong Yuemin responded.
"I heard Professor Donald mention you before Val Alpha was released, and he admired you!" Jobs said, "and now you're a global celebrity!"
"Being a celebrity, maybe you're more experienced than me. Zhong Yuemin joked, "Then, how about I take you on a tour?"
"Haha, it's an honor!"
······
Steve Jobs was only twenty-five years old at this time, and Apple had already achieved a great reputation by this time, and Jobs still showed the momentum of looking at the world in every move.
From Zhong Yuemin's point of view, the Jobs in front of him is young, conceited, energetic, and has countless ideas at any time, and he is far from the godly temperament he showed after taking charge of Apple for the second time in the future.
"The Vali Alpha computer is fantastic!" Jobs said without hesitation: "It literally fulfills all my heart's bottom vision of a personal computer!"
"Thanks, the AppleII is also great, and the large screen of the Vali Alpha was inspired by that. Zhong Yuemin responded: "No one wants to search on a small screen, a bigger screen and higher definition are in line with human nature!"
"Humanity? Are you right, we just want to keep creating better new products to satisfy humanity!" Jobs said with a smile, and then he looked directly at Zhong Yuemin and asked, "Mr. Min, I noticed that Alpha has adopted a new graphical interface design?"
"Yes, this is our latest Windows system, which is part of the human nature. Zhong Yuemin introduced.
"So······ Mr. Min, I just asked directly. Jobs frowned, "Can this technology be licensed?"
Zhong Yuemin glanced at Jobs, "You want to install it on an Apple computer?"
"Yes. Jobs nodded, "We are also working on a similar interface operating system, but to be honest, the progress is average, so I want to get the authorization of WALL-E to carry out secondary development." ”
"No, I can license any computer company that wants to install a Windows system, but it's a completely closed system and I don't allow anyone to develop it. Zhong Yuemin looked directly at Jobs, "Including Apple." ”
"It's impossible, no computer company would accept such a condition. Jobs flatly vetoed, "We are competitors, and I can't be threatened by you on the operating system!"
Zhong Yuemin nodded, "For the same reason, I will not agree to give Apple a license to develop the Windows system." ”
Jobs was silent.
"Maybe Apple can adopt mouse-related technology, which I've licensed to our manufacturers, and they can sell mice to any company. Zhong Yuemin broke the silence, "I personally still hope that personal computers will be easier to use and more popular." ”
"Thanks, I think I'll think I'll think about it. Jobs said.
······
The arrival of Jobs made Zhong Yuemin realize his previous misjudgment.
He thought that with the Windows system, Wall-E would become another Microsoft, but in fact, as long as Wall-E produced and sold computers for a day, then other computer companies would not adopt the Windows system, just like Microsoft could never become a computer company in the previous life.
Zhong Yuemin still hopes that the Windows system will become the standard configuration of all computers, but from the current point of view, the possibility is very small, unless he is willing to give up the huge interests of the Windows system and widely authorize computer companies to carry out secondary development, just like the Android system of mobile phones in later generations.
If the current trend continues, the Windows system is likely to end up as a closed operating system like Apple's MAC OS, which will greatly hinder users from switching between non-branded computers, and may even complete Microsoft's growth.
There was a mess in his head, and Zhong Yuemin simply didn't think about it.
At least today's results are good, go out and wander around, meet a Frank Gallagher, and solve one of his big problems.
······
When she got off work in the evening, Cui Yang was already waiting at the door, and she also changed into a beautiful dress.
Jane, Johnny and others, who were on duty together, all frowned at Zhong Yuemin, and some whistled and screamed.
"Hey, don't pay attention to them, you know it's foolish!" Zhong Yuemin said to Cui Yang.
"Boss, let's get off work early and go on a date!" Jian interjected, and ran away without waiting for Zhong Yuemin to react!
Cui Yang was not very shy, but took Zhong Yuemin's arm, "Let's go, invite me to dinner!"
"No problem!" Zhong Yuemin replied with a smile, "I'll treat you, you pay!"
"you!" Cui Yang chirped, "Is there such a thing as taking advantage of people?"
······
The two of them drove to the city center and went to a relatively popular restaurant, only to find that the door was full of guests waiting for seats.
"Well, it's the wrong place. Zhong Yuemin said apologetically, "It's still Johnny who told me that this place is not bad, but I didn't expect to make an appointment in advance!"
"Don't you usually go out to eat?" Cui Yang gave him a blank look.
Zhong Yuemin smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, I usually eat blindly, and this is the first time I have come to such a high-end place." It's just because you, a little rich woman, are by my side that I dare to come!"
"You're poor!" Cui Yang scolded with a smile.
"Haha, I'll go to the front and ask, if there is really no land, let's hurry up!"
As a result, I didn't expect that as soon as Zhong Yuemin walked in front of the reception, he was warmly stopped, and even the hotel manager ran out.
"Do you know me?" Zhong Yuemin thought to himself, isn't it Johnny, that guy didn't pay for dinner, and hung up on his account?
The hotel manager said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Min, you are really joking, you are a celebrity in our city! Who can not know you!?"
"I'm already a celebrity?"
"Of course, we've been looking forward to your dinner! I didn't expect you to come today!"
Zhong Yuemin pointed to the people queuing outside: "There are still so many people, how long do I need to queue?"
"You are a VIP, you don't have to queue up!" The hotel manager hurriedly said: "We have always reserved a special seat for you, you can just go in!"
"And this kind of good thing?" Zhong Yuemin was happy.
"As far as I know, all the restaurants in the city have reserved seats for you!" the hotel manager patted himself on the back, "but you're just too busy to show up." ”
"Isn't that a bit of a shame for you to keep a seat?"
"No, absolutely not, we are all willing!" the hotel manager quickly shook his head, "Besides, Mr. Johnny often brings friends over, which is also our honor!"
It turns out that Johnny has already enjoyed this kind of treatment!
"I have a female companion outside······" Zhong Yuemin just wanted to go to Cui Yang, but she had already been invited in.
"They specifically reserved a seat for us and we could go straight in. Zhong Yuemin smiled at Cui Yang.
Cui Yang exaggeratedly grew his mouth, "Wow! Then you have really become a well-known big shot!"
"Then I wonder if I can invite this beautiful lady in front of me to dinner?" Zhong Yuemin made a gentleman's invitation.
Cui Yang stretched out his hand and put it on Zhong Yuemin's palm, "As you wish." ”
······
"Monica!"
Frank, the curly-haired man, rushed into the yard excitedly, shouting loudly.
A blonde woman opened the door, surprised, "Frank, why are you back? Aren't you going to work the night shift?"
"I'm quitting!" Frank laughed, "I fired that fat, pig-like asshole!"
"Are you crazy?" Monica panicked, "You lost your job, what do we live on? Do you want me to have a baby on the road?"
"Beware!" Frank hurriedly ran up the stairs and helped Monica, "I've got a super job!
"Which Mr. Min!" Monica barely left the house because she was pregnant, and she didn't know anything about the news from the outside world.
Frank pulled out the newspaper in his ass pocket, "That's him, the founder of WALL-E, who invented the best personal computer!"
Monica didn't understand either, but looking at her husband Frank's excited appearance, she also understood that this Mr. Min was a super powerful character, "He's a Japanese?"
"No, he's a Chinese!"
"Is what he said true? Will he really give you a position?" Monica worried.
"Of course!" Frank affirmed, "I went to the Crystal House today, where I met Mr. Min, and he told me to report to the Wall-E Company tomorrow morning!"
"Is that the whole wall of the Wall-E House you are talking about, with an entire wall of glass shining like crystal?"
"Yes, that's it!" Frank said to Monica, "Do you know what I'm responsible for, Mr. Min?"
"The front desk?, the assembler?" Monica guessed.
"No! you're wrong!" Frank said excitedly, "Mr. Min gave me a position as a manager and put me in charge of the Crystal House!
"Really?!" Monica was happy, "did he really give the manager a position?
"Ah······ I forgot to ask!" Frank said, scratching his head.
Monica was simply defeated by him, "You agreed to the other party without even asking for a salary, what if we can't pay our rent for a small amount?"
"No! Do you know how many customers there are in the Crystal House every day?" said Frank confidently, "WALL-E is going crazy for money! We'll be moving out of here soon and buying our baby our own house!"
Monica was infected by the wonderful prospect her husband had depicted and laughed happily.
"Be quiet, bastard! The rent is never on time, and she daydreams all day!" the landlady on the second floor leaned out of the window and scolded.
Monica and Frank looked at each other and stuck out their tongues, but the corners of their mouths couldn't contain a smile.
"Let's go, let's go out for a big dinner today, and then I'll take you to see the Crystal House, where I will work in the future!"
"Okay!"
