"Smack!" Jobs angrily threw his TV remote against the wall in Richmond's Pixar office.

"This!" Jobs roared.

Bill Campbell looked helplessly at the furious Jobs, who had been invited to give leadership training to Pixar, but saw such a scene.

Bill Campbell said: "Steve, you know, what he wants is your counterattack, and the more you fight back, the more you help him hype. ”

Mr. Jobs took a few turns around his office, shaved off his trademark beard, and although he was much older than when he left Apple a decade ago, he still looked like a sharp sword.

Jobs stopped in circles: "Bill, how did he know I wanted to sell NeXT to Apple? ”

Bill changed color and said, "Are you suspicious of me?" Steve?"

Jobs sarcastically said, "Bill, it's not the first time you've picked the wrong side, the last time you chose Scully. But this time you're on the side of the Huaxia kid, I really doubt if there's something wrong with your eyes. ”

Bill's neck snapped up: "Steve, you've fouled! I think you need to calm down." With that, he pushed the door and walked away.

Jobs sat in a chair with his face covered, he had been friends with Bill for many years and knew that he would not betray him.

But the problem with Jobs is that he was too mean to the people around him. Whether it was his earliest comrade-in-arms, Wozniak, or Makula, who had been kind to him at the beginning, he was hurt by his meanness and ruthlessness.

But for the person he used, Jobs didn't care about his face at all, and would take the initiative to admit his mistakes, unless you had no use value for him.

Jobs took a deep breath, calmed his grumpy mood, and found Bill Campbell, who was indignant downstairs, "Hey, Bill, sorry, it was my fault just now. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it's hard to control my emotions. We walked together, we hadn't walked together in a long time. ”

Bill sighed in his heart, he and Jobs had known each other for more than thirteen years and knew each other's personalities. Jobs was a perfectionist leader, but not a good friend.

"Steve, you know, your top priority right now is NeXT's software business licensing and the negotiation of a new partnership agreement between Pixar and Disney. At this stage, you really shouldn't focus too much on other places. ”

Jobs shrugged: "You're right, I won't waste any more energy on this Chinese kid." Bill, I need you to help me contact Ed Woolrad and ask him to arrange a meeting between me and Amelio, if this Chinese kid's words reach Amerio's ears, I will be very passive, I must have a preconceived idea to make Amelio dizzy. ”

Bill Campbell frowned and said, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

After CNN's live interview aired, Jobs was surrounded by a frenzied phone call from the media at his Pixar office.

All the news about Jobs is big news, and this is the consistent perception of the California media.

Jobs is now a legend, not as great as he was twenty years later, but he founded Apple from scratch. Single-handedly, after creating the personal computer age, he was dramatically ousted from the board of directors. He then led Pixar's comeback with the creation of NeXT and the acquisition of Pixar, and in March of this year, Pixar's Toy Story won an Oscar.

His life, even without the addition of the iPhone, is extremely legendary.

When Jobs saw the messy media downstairs, Jobs was angry. Jobs had an arrogant personality, few people could go toe-to-toe with him, and most people couldn't say anything when they saw him because of his momentum. The last one who directly scolded him like Zhang Chen was Bill Gates.

This kid says he's made a piece of software, what's it called? ICQ?

Jobs gritted his teeth, opened the IBM laptop he called "junk", and began to download the software that Zhang Chen claimed could change the mode of Internet communication.

The software is not big, only 700k, and Jobs's office download speed is very fast, and it doesn't take long to prompt that the download is complete and ready to install.

Jobs wiped his glasses, glanced at the login screen, and snorted disdainfully.

"This idiot interface designer should let him sit in an electric chair. Jobs said secretly in his heart.

According to the prompts, Jobs registered a six-digit UID step by step, and after logging in, he found that there was no one in the friend list.

Jobs noticed that there was an icon to add friends at the bottom of the software interface, which could be clicked to search for all online ICQ users.

Jobs kept pulling down the scroll bar, flipped through a few pages, and found that the number of registered users of the software had reached two or three thousand.

Jobs randomly added a friend named "Sadness", clicked on the friend icon, and sent the other party a sentence "What is this bullshit software for?"

Soon, Sadness replied to him, "Haha, I also just signed up, I think it's pretty good, it's much more convenient than email, I've already told my girlfriend to download it quickly, you can save on SMS fees, what do you think?"

Jobs choked out a "Shet!" from between his teeth, and closed his notebook with a snap.

The three Viegers watched in amazement as they watched the server load and the real-time statistics of the number of registrants. Ten minutes after CNN's interview aired, the ICQ client was downloaded more than 700 times, and within half an hour, the number of registrations exceeded 3,000, and in an hour, the number of registrations approached the 10,000 mark, and the number of online users exceeded 8,000.

Goldfinger quietly wiped a cold sweat, he didn't expect the response after the launch of ICQ to be so big. Originally, he expected that if 100,000 people could register within a month, it would be a great success, but he didn't expect that in just one hour, the number of registrations exceeded 10,000. It seems that the number of registrants may exceed the 100,000 mark within three days. Moreover, looking at the number of online users in the background who keep scrolling, there is a trend of getting faster and faster.

"Not good!" Viggs' face changed, "If this trend continues, within a few days our servers will be overwhelmed, and we will have to rent new servers!"

Goldfinger is also aware of this problem, he has been in charge of outreach, and immediately decided to deal with this matter immediately, and strive to add ten more sets of servers and expand bandwidth within three days.

For the trio, it was the annoyance of joy.
