If the previous USB flash drive only made the "fans" present feel novel, most people didn't want to buy this kind of thing.

But the Pangu laptop quickly made countless people in the audience burst out with the urge to "buy".

It's not just because of its cool appearance, it's as cool as a prop in a science fiction movie. What's more, it's really practical!

As Lin Qi said, since the mid-70s, microcomputers have become more and more popular around the world, and this tool has now had a profound impact on scientific research, office and study all over the world.

Although computers are not as common as in the 90s and the 21st century, they are indeed inseparable from computers for many large companies that are at the forefront of the times.

For example, some of the reporters of the news media present, their editorial departments, basically use computers to edit and typeset the manuscript. Only some smaller publishers still use traditional editing and typesetting methods.

Of course, many of the media staff present are naturally proficient in computer operation because they often follow science and technology news. Although they may not be users of Pangu Computer, a start-up company, they may be users of PC or Apple computers.

The appearance of the Pangu laptop suddenly made many viewers unable to suppress the urge to buy. Because, the computer that can be carried with you can not only be used for work, but also, although it does not emphasize the entertainment effect, the portable laptop is still equipped with an optical drive. As a result, it can have the same entertainment performance as the Pangu game console, but since it has a black and white screen, the experience may be a little worse than that of a home console.

However, its entertainment should be much more powerful than that of a handheld.

"Great, the designers of this kind of product are simply gods!" Jobs, who had forgotten about his chairman of Apple, just applauded this surprise product from the standpoint of ordinary consumers.

……

"The 70s was the era of the birth of the microcomputer, and Apple became the first general-purpose microcomputer that was popularized in the office!" Lin Qi said, "Although Apple is no longer the leading computer in the market, we should still recognize Mr. Jobs's contribution." Today, Mr. Jobs is also here, so we decided to give Mr. Jobs this commemorative Pangu laptop......"

"What?" Jobs was surprised, but still surprised to take the stage, accepted the gift, and said, "I'm glad to receive this gift today." Yes, we at Apple launched the Apple II, which sold millions of units in the mid-70s, and of course, now it seems that its sales are quite ordinary, and many computer manufacturers have surpassed it. We didn't pretend to be the inventors of the microcomputer, there were quite a few microcomputers on the market at the time, but we were one of the most successful microcomputer companies of the year. In the beginning, the most important thing for our success was to seize the opportunity of the times, and in the transition from mainframe to minicomputer to microcomputer, we introduced cheap microcomputers at a time when large companies were still indulging in the mature market of mainframe computers and minicomputers. Cheap and easy to use may be the reason for our success in the first place. And today, the new start-up electronics company, as our partner, is also ahead of the outside in its innovation ability. Today, I am also very happy to receive this gift, I think, this product is indeed epoch-making, I can feel its light weight, perhaps, it can change the future of the office, many employees, no longer need to be in a fixed office to deal with work tasks, but can carry this lightweight computer, anytime and anywhere is equivalent to being in the office...... Lin is a very great leader of a technology company, and I believe that if New Venture Electronics continues to launch epoch-making products in the next 20 years, then its greatness in the future will far exceed that of traditional technology giants such as IBM, General Electric, and Siemens on the planet......"

Jobs put a bunch of good things to say, in fact, because the two companies share the same hatred.

The PC compatible machine camp is still too strong at the moment, and if it doesn't join forces, Apple can only be more and more marginalized.

At the same time, Jobs also felt that the PC was not invincible, and if through continuous innovation, in addition, the two companies could cooperate in hardware and software compatibility, there was still hope for a win-win situation.

After Jobs took the stage, the audience burst into applause. After all, although Apple's market share continues to decline under the pressure of PCs, and its market value has also decreased compared with the 83 years, it is still a technology giant with a market value of more than $5 billion.

In fact, in the 80s and early 90s, Apple's market value even increased, after all, Macintosh computers could not dominate the market, but there were still certain fans. It wasn't until the mid-90s that the graphics operating system began to be widely adopted on PCs. After that, Apple no longer had any hope in the computer market, even if it was a fruit fan who re-powdered Apple, because of the lack of the latest applications in Apple terminals, they went to PC!

Now, after the launch of the Macintosh computer, although Apple cannot return to the same position as before, it has won the favor of many users by relying on the graphics operating system. Of course, Apple's Macintosh computers are not the only computers with a graphical operating system, in fact, the cheaper Pangu console, which is a graphical operating system from the beginning, is even easier to use than Macintosh computers.

To put it simply, relying only on the business of Pangu host, Xinchuang Electronics has completely exploded Apple's several streets. However, Lin Qi did not give up on winning over Apple, because although the number of software in game entertainment on the Pangu platform is relatively large, the number of application software used in various industries is relatively small. Even so, the idea of starting a new business encourages some programmers to make all kinds of industry software. However, after all, the commercial future of software in these industries is unclear, and it is not as clear as the game software market and business model, so the current application on the Pangu system is still biased towards games!

Wooing Apple is mainly due to the reputation and resources that Apple has accumulated in the office market.

The cooperation between the two parties can make the game software on the Pangu system portable to the Apple Macintosh platform. At the same time, some office software on the Macintosh system, or applications in various industries, can be ported to the platform of New Venture Electronics.

Through strategic complementarity, the software resources and hardware compatibility of the two platforms will be complementary.

Of course, at present, Jobs attaches the most importance to the idea of laptops, and he thinks that the design of the Pangu notebook of Xinchuang Electronics is quite perfect. Therefore, Jobs directly negotiated the purchase of the design license of the Pangu laptop.

At this point, Lin Qi did not refuse, and authorized Apple to use the design of the Pangu notebook at a price of $10 million.

This approach, which later became Jobs's classic decision, was a classic decision, because the licensing of this technology allowed Apple to make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. Moreover, it further cemented Jobs' cult of new start-up electronics companies.

Later, after Mr. Jobs hired professional managers and other shareholders on the board of directors ousted the company he founded, Apple.

Jobs also got the help of the new entrepreneurship department, and founded a company that produces Internet TVs and set-top boxes again, this company does not have its own manufacturing plant, but completely handed over the manufacturing to the foundry of the new entrepreneurship department, and as a result, Jobs, who started the second business, founded a company that is larger than Apple again. It was precisely because of the success of the second venture that Jobs did not return to Apple later.

Many years later, Steve Jobs said, "Being kicked out of Apple was a major turning point in my life. Without the burden of Apple, we can travel lightly and transform into an innovative enterprise like a new start-up electronics company, our company is mainly a laboratory to develop various products, but we will never consider our own production, but outsource production to more cost-effective professional foundry companies to do. This kind of compact structure is like the reduced instruction set in the field of CPU design at the beginning! Simplicity is the best, and I firmly believe that!"
