When he first entered the United States to do business, Lin Yi had a lot of problems. Although I think diligently, I am inexperienced and often confused. Now, with the guidance of famous teachers, it is often easy to understand at all.

From national policies to company management, he asks everything. From macroeconomics to microeconomics, the mind is getting clearer and clearer, and the foundation is constantly thickening.

However, although he is diligent and studious, Lin Yi has not forgotten the original intention of coming to the United States. In the personal computer industry, even if he doesn't do it himself, he still has to sit on the tailwind!

It's a pity that he searched through business information, the names of Apple and Microsoft, and finance, and found none of them. Lin Yi couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that none of them are established?"

He does not know the specific time of the establishment of the two companies, but he remembers that it was in the 70s. If you miss the A round of venture capital, Lin Yi may not be able to afford the price of the B round of financing!

First of all, he bought a Cowherd Star and put it in the company for employees to study. If something good comes out, it's a surprise.

The U.S. contract stipulates that all rights to the company's equipment and research results belong to the company - even if the equipment is only used by the employee once!

Second, the 'blue box' story shows that Tom is a genius hacker. Therefore, as long as Lin Yi is free, he will talk to him about some strange things. Then, pizza and curry took turns to invite, and the other party quickly agreed to take the boss to the hacker party.

Lin Yi happily went, even if he couldn't catch big fish, among those technical maniacs, maybe there would be 'gold mines to be mined'!

After work, Tom led the way, and the two entered Stanford. The words on the plaque made Lin Yi puzzled: "Home Brewing Computer Club? Your hacker gathering is so blatant and put in the university? Aren't you afraid that the FBI will check the water meter?"

The boss's doubts, Tom turned a blind eye. Ran straight up the stairs and flashed through the door.

Lin Yi hurriedly followed. There was a speech inside, so when he went in, he didn't want to ask questions.

Now on the podium, there happens to be a cowherd star. The narrator was about thirty years old and behaved like a teacher.

Lin Yi could barely understand what was said on stage. So his attention shifted to the audience. The unkempt should be a hacker, and the one in a suit and leather shoes looks like a businessman no matter how you look at it!

The middle-aged man stepped down after speaking, and Lin Yi took the opportunity to ask questions.

Tom replied with a smile: "You guessed it, there are both businessmen and investors. The boss wants to recruit people, and I'm afraid he will have to compete with them. ”

Just then, two young men took the stage. They had long hair and a messy beard. Hippie look, have a fight with Jack!

The short and fat young man introduced himself: "My name is Steve Wads, and what I bring to you today is a personal computer that I assembled. ”

Hearing Steve, Lin Yi was shocked. But immediately reacted, this person is not surnamed Jobs, and his appearance is completely different.

The machine explained by the other party was very simple in workmanship, and Lin Yi couldn't help pouting: "The line is a mess, and the appearance is too bad, right?"

Another tall young man didn't introduce himself. Just stand in a dimly lit corner and watch the audience react. It's a pity that it's similar to Lin Yi, no one seems to be interested.

This technical exchange lasted until very late. When he went out, Tom joked: "That Woz's personal computer is quite suitable for the boss." ”

"Why?"

"The structure and operation are too simple for a layman to use, so to speak, foolish! Geeks like complexity and profundity, so no one wants it!"

This is the trend of the future! Lin Yi hurriedly turned around, but the person was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's really worthy of Silicon Valley, there are talents everywhere!

A few days later, when the two finished eating, Xiang Yanghua remembered something: "The company you said, I seem to have helped you find it." ”

Lin Yi's face was full of confusion: "What company?"

"Apple Computer. However, you're talking about Apple, and the name is two words off. Isn't it what you want?"

"Yes, exactly, that's what I want!"

In the future, the market value of this company will exceed 500 billion! At this time, Lin Yi is a little crazy. He hugged Sunflower, from his eyes to his ears, from his lips to his fingers, and sighed again and again while kissing him everywhere: "You are really my lucky star!

The girl was startled, but found that the iron arm was tightly chained, and she couldn't break free no matter what!

After calming down, Lin Yi hurriedly asked, "Where did the news come from?

After her boyfriend was normal, Sunflower was relieved. However, she was puzzled: "Apple computer, I just bought one, but unfortunately it's too ugly!"

Apple computer is ugly? Lin Yi was shocked!

The girl took him by the way and immediately went over to visit. The computer has a wooden case, and there is no leather or plastic. There is no standalone keyboard, and there is no display. To be precise, it should be too simple. Apple's embarrassment is fully visible!

Lin Yi suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen it somewhere, and after checking the apple nameplate, he took apart the wooden shell. The messy wiring made him remember at once: "Isn't this the Hacker Club, Woz's computer?

Lin Yi's brain was short-circuited all of a sudden. It was as if the wires in front of him had become a mess! He couldn't help but mutter, "Steve, Jobs, is gone, but there is a Steve Wads!

But anyway, check the apple first and say, "Baby, where did you buy the computer?"

"When I got out of school, I passed by the bit computer store. Boss Paul beckoned me to come in and sit down, and I found an Apple computer, which happened to be on sale at the counter. ”

"Paul, Bitstore? I remember, the first order for Paradise Games!"

Either way, get your contact details first.

In the bit store, owner Paul helps recall: "Steve Jobs......? , the guy who sells Apple computers, it seems to be called that. Steve Wads, that's not clear. ”

If Lin Yi hadn't endured it, he would have jumped up and cheered a long time ago. It's not a parallel universe, but it's great! The main line of the world is not chaotic, and the value of memory is not reduced!

Now is the right time to invest in Apple! When it performs amazingly and the second round of venture capital, I don't know how many people are vying for it?

When he got the phone number, he couldn't bear it for a moment, so he borrowed Paul's phone and immediately dialed it. However, the other side reminds that Apple has already moved away!

I couldn't ask for a new address, and Paul also said: "Apple computers, I bought 50 units at a time, and I didn't carry out long-term cooperation." So the new address, I don't know. ”

The wish was disappointed again, and Lin Yi was inevitably disappointed.

The God of Wealth was about to go out to go home, and Paul hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Boss Lin, the arcade of Paradise Games, it will take a long time to wait in line for orders." As the first big customer, can you make it convenient for me to cut in line?"

Lin Yi was more disgusted by the matter of Gasai. However, if the other party helped, he would not be unrequited, so he immediately agreed.
