Li Zetian smiled at Bill Gates, nodded, and said: "Yes, Excel is definitely a killer office software! In the future, people from Apple will come to communicate with you to avoid software incompatibility! Under the strong combination, Microsoft will definitely develop and grow rapidly!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bill, Paul, Microsoft will be handed over to you, call me if you have something!" Li Zetian commanded, ready to leave. Now that he has money, he naturally has a BP machine. Although Motorola had successfully developed its first mobile phone in 1973, it was 10 years before it was formed and put on the market.

The two nodded in response, "Okay!"

As soon as Li Zetian left, the people in the conference room were still shocked by the Excel software.

Bill Gates said to Paul with emotion: "Chronos is a genius, established Apple and Microsoft, and now has designed such Excel software, this era and him as a competitor, must be the most painful thing!!"

Paul Allen laughed: "It's not something we should have a headache for, it's computer companies like IBM, HP, and DEC. By the way, Bill, did you notice that when we talk about Excel, we're all very excited, and Chronos is very calm? What does that mean?"

Bill Gates frowned slightly.

"This shows that Excel isn't the best idea for Chronos, and he has a better idea in his head than a killer software like Excel!!

Bill Gates nodded in agreement: "I'm afraid yes, Chronos gives me the impression that it is extremely smart, but it is deeply hidden, as if everything is under his control, and what we see is always just the tip of the iceberg!"

Paul Allen said: "I don't admire anyone of my contemporaries, but Chronos makes me admire !! most."

Bill Gates was a little glad that he didn't have an independent portal to build a company to compete with Microsoft. Otherwise, it will definitely be easily crushed by Microsoft!

"Let's get to work! Let's talk about how to develop Excel software, and set up an Excel project team right away!" said Bill Gates.

Paul Allen nodded, "Yes." ”

……

Frankly speaking, in the era when personal computers were not yet commonplace, software did not make money without hardware. Therefore, relatively speaking, Li Zetian still attaches more importance to Apple at this stage.

The development of the Apple-ll personal computer is already on the agenda, with Wozniak and Zhang Yan leading a team. Li Zetian plans to use the Mos6502 microprocessor, because this microprocessor is super cheap and the performance is no worse than the Intel8080, but it is still in the research and development stage.

Li Zetian decided to take the initiative and let Apple invest in and participate in the development of Mos6502, so that Mos6502 can be developed in advance, thereby accelerating the development of Apple-ll, in addition, Apple's purchase price of Mos6502 processor will be much lower than the price on the market, which greatly reduces Apple-ll manufacturing costs!!

Of course, if there is money, Li Zetian will directly choose to buy Mos Technology, but if he has no money, he can only do this. However, this is already the best way!

The next day, Li Zetian took Wozniak on a business trip to the headquarters of Mos Technologies.

As soon as the other party heard that it was someone from Apple, he immediately invited Li Zetian and Wozniak to the office.

The Mos6502 being developed by Mos Technology is aimed at personal computers, and Apple is undoubtedly the pioneer and leader in the field of personal computers, with great influence!

"Hello, my name is Todd Brown, CEO of Mos Technologies. A tall, thin, balding middle-aged man stood up and stretched out his hand to introduce.

"Hello, Mr. Todd Brown, I'm Chronos Lee, Chief Engineer at Apple, and this is Steve Gary Wozniak, Apple's Chief Technology Officer!" Li Zetian shook hands with Wozniak as he introduced himself and Wozniak.

"You may be seated!"

"Okay, thank you!"

After Li Zetian and Wozniak sat down, Todd Brown's secretary poured two glasses of water.

"Dare I ask why Chronos Lee and Mr. Wozniak came to Mos Technologies?" asked Todd Brown.

Li Zetian took a sip of water and asked, "I heard that Mos Technology is developing a very cheap but high-performance microprocessor?"

Todd Brown nodded and admitted, "Yes!"

"Well, then I'll tell you straight to the point, Apple's second-generation Apple-ll personal computer plans to use this microprocessor!" Li Zetian said.

Todd Brown was shocked when he heard this, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly.

Apple's first generation personal computer Apple-l because of the use of Intel8080, as a result, the Intel8080 microprocessor became popular and became the preferred processor of personal computer manufacturers!

When the news came out that Apple was developing a second-generation personal computer, Carlos Stephen, the head of Intel's microprocessor, went to Apple in three days?!!

Todd Brown suppressed his excitement and said: "Mos Technology is very willing to cooperate with Apple, you can rest assured, Mos Technology will definitely give Apple a very good price!"

Li Zetian's tone was full of confidence, and he said slowly: "Apple's current influence in the field of personal computers, Mr. Todd Brown must be aware of it. Since Apple can make the Intel8080 famous, it will naturally be able to make the Mos6502 famous! Mr. Todd Brown, I won't go around in circles, and I'll tell you straight to the point, Apple intends to invest in and participate in the development of the Mos6502 processor project!"

Todd Brown frowned when he heard this.

Li Zetian reminded: "If Apple and Intel cooperate, I am afraid it will be a heavy blow to Mos6502." On the contrary, the cooperation between Apple and Mos Technologies, Mos6502 will not only be able to have a big customer of Apple, but also open up the market and attract other computer manufacturers!!!

Todd Brown nodded, and then asked, "How will the benefits of the Mos6502 processor be distributed?"

"How about the two companies each with 50 percent? Don't worry, Mr. Todd Brown, Apple will not take 50 percent of the benefits in vain, first of all, Apple's apple-ll personal computer will use the Mos6502, not only to create profits, but also to promote it, and secondly, Apple will invest 250,000 US dollars and send 10 engineers to participate in the design of the Mos6502 microprocessor!"

Todd Brown thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, that's it!"

Hearing this, Li Zetian stood up from the sofa, then stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Todd Brown, happy cooperation!!"

Mr. Todd Brown shook hands and said, "Happy working together!"

On the same day, Li Zetian signed a contract with Todd Brown.

"Mr. Todd Brown, Wozniak will be the head of the Mos6502 microprocessor that Apple sent to Mos Technologies to develop the Mos6502 microprocessor!" Li Zetian introduced to Todd Brown before leaving.

Todd Brown said: "Mr. Wozniak is Apple's CTO, and with him on board, the Mos6502 will definitely be able to do even better!"

Li Zetian nodded, he thought the same in his heart.
