After Tang Huan enthusiastically introduced him, he gave up his position and invited everyone to experience the power of EBase on the nearest Mac.

The main technical personnel involved in Apple's three future projects, such as Apple's third-generation engineer Randy? Wiggington, Lisa project leader, former Hewlett-Packard engineer John? Couch and Annie, project leader Jeff? Ruskin was all present, which shows how high the specifications of this internal conference are.

Jobs was pointing and talking intimately with a young man with fluffy hair, a long beard, and an energetic face, Tang Huan knew this person, he was Bill? Atkinson.

I have to say that Apple's recruitment work is sometimes mixed up with unexpected results by Jobs.

For example, Atkinson, a PhD student in neuroscience, and, like Steve Jobs, has tried a lot of psychedelics.

When he was first offered to join Apple, Atkinson turned it down. But then Apple sent him a non-refundable ticket, so Atkinson decided to use it to give Jobs a chance to convince himself.

"We're creating the future," Mr. Jobs said near the end of his three-hour persuasion, "and imagine what it's like to surf at the very front of the waves. Imagine learning to swim at the end of a wave, it's not interesting at all. Come to Apple, you can attract the attention of the world. ”

So in this way, Atkinson was successfully brainwashed by Jobs and joined Apple.

Atkinson's creative flair with Watts' creative flair and Steve Jobs' passion for product excellence led him to port the Pascal language to Apple's second-generation phones shortly after joining the company.

Pascal is a high-level programming language, and Jobs was initially resistant to this because he thought that Apple II with BASIC was enough, but instead of killing the idea, Jobs told Atkinson, "Since you have such a passion for this, I'll give you 6 days to prove me wrong." ”

Atkinson did it, and from then on Jobs respected him very much, and in Jobs's worldview of "either genius or idiot", Atkinson was undoubtedly classified as a genius.

Currently, Atkinson is an engineer on the Lisa project and is under the leadership of Steve Jobs, but in fact the Lisa project leader is the sad John? Kutch.

After Jobs finished the Apple third-generation machine project, he went to the Lisa project to point fingers, and Kutch was helpless about it.

According to the original historical trajectory, it was not until Macoola and Scott could not stand Jobs' arbitrary behavior that they expelled Jobs from the Lisa Project.

Then Jobs took a fancy to Ruskin's Annie project and turned it into the famous MAC R&D group.

Atkinson has been Jobs' right-hand man in terms of technology throughout these processes.

The reason why Jobs is so tossed is because he has higher ideals.

Apple's second-generation phone, while so popular right now, is unlikely to last, and Jobs understands that no matter how he packs it from the power cord to the case, people will always see it as Woz's masterpiece.

Steve Jobs needed a computer of his own, and he needed a product that would leave its mark on the universe.

In this regard, Tang Huan can understand, he also hopes that Apple can launch a qualified successor to Apple's second-generation machine, but the premise is that the product development process can not jump too much, if it is like MAC, although it is an epoch-making product, but the advent time has been delayed again and again, and the performance has been obviously outdated, it is better to make a set of hardware platforms by yourself, such as Fangyuan computer.

Seeing Tang Huan coming over, Jobs rarely praised him in person, "Don, EBase's performance is very good, which is eye-catching." ”

Without waiting for Tang Huan to respond with a few modest words, Jobs used the following words to show the actual relationship between the two.

"You should be doing the promising work of software, not typewriters or game machines."

Looking at Jobs' grinning expression, Tang Huan couldn't help but smile dumbly.

In order to show Apple's board of directors that Zheru's products do not have a conflict of interest with Apple computers, Tang Huan deliberately classified Fangyuan computers as typewriters and, like Xiaobawang game machines, was operated by a separate subsidiary.

Hopefully, like Steve Jobs, Apple's directors, who hold the same idea, will not be bothered by the benefits of these two products in the future.

Regarding Jobs's condescension and arrogance, Tang Huan always fought back face to face, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of asking for something, "What about the PARC visit, why hasn't there been any movement yet, I waited so long that the flowers are grateful, can you handle this matter." ”

Jobs had an embarrassed look on his face, and then turned to annoyance, "Hell, those people at Xerox headquarters, our request to visit was resisted by the PARC, and they couldn't do anything about it. I've given me an ultimatum that if I don't get into PARC in December, I won't even want to buy our stock. ”

"Hopefully soon." Tang Huan nodded, raised his hand and beckoned the assistant to bring over a file bag, which contained a floppy disk to store WordEasy files and a paper abstract, all of which were sorted out by Simeone, who was born in PARC.

"This is the information I sent you about PARC's technical achievements, take a good look at it, and when you visit it in the future, you can do it in a targeted manner, so as not to be dealt with by others and not know."

Jobs nodded absently, took the file bag, and handed it to Atkinson.

……

For the two important talents attracted by his first trip to Asia, Ni Guangnan and Shen Wangfu, Tang Huan will always pay attention to them from time to time.

Under the chairmanship of Ni Guangnan, the development of the Chinese Simplified Chinese version of Hanka began to be on track, while the Japanese version was not much slower than the Chinese Traditional version that Jian Mingren had previously focused on because it was easier to recruit relevant talents, and it could catch up with COMDEX for display.

The young Shen Wangfu is also extremely selfless at work, and according to the project direction and ideas given by Tang Huan, he is moving forward quickly with two assistants on the road of sound card research and development.

Seeing that the boss had come to instruct him and communicate technology again, Shen Wangfu asked casually excitedly, "Mr. Tang, what sound should our sound card be when it first makes a sound." ”

Tang Huan was thinking about going to Intel to investigate the possibility of this new technology being put into practical application because of the EEPROM matter, and when he heard Shen Wangfu ask, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately said: "Naturally, it should be ...... Dangdangdangdang. ”

Shen Wangfu sneered, "What should you do?" ”

"When...... Dangdangdang...... When ......" Tang Huan saw that Shen Wangfu was becoming more and more confused, he quickly stopped talking and said in his heart, "You haven't watched "Journey to the West", so naturally you don't know Tang Seng's lines, it is too troublesome to say it clearly, and it is still reliable to write.

Tang Huan took advantage of the inspiration to hurry back to the office, wrote the score of Intel's famous voice logo, and did not hesitate to replace the advertising slogan "IntelInside" with "ZeroneInside", asked the assistant to hand it to Chambers, and at the same time advised: "Strive to use this advertising theme on COMDEX." ”

I don't know if I cut off Intel's idea, and when I wait until the nineties, how the Pentium CPU will be promoted, the more Tang Huan thinks about it, the more interesting it becomes.

He was enjoying himself when Jian Mingren called across the ocean, hoping that the US headquarters could support some semi-finished products of Fangyuan computers, so that a batch of products could be assembled on the treasure island as soon as possible.

When Tang Huan heard this, he frowned, the parts of the United States are cheaper than the parts of Japan, as for being in such a hurry, the products of the Baodao factory are about to be rolled off the assembly line in batches.

"The birthday of a big man, political achievements are needed." Jian Mingren sighed, "Some of our motherboards have been produced, but the production progress of other components is different, so we can only ask the headquarters for help." ”

"I see, I can understand, and I will immediately send someone to transport things by plane." Tang Huan said.

"Aren't you coming to Treasure Island to see the excitement, the Golden Horse Awards are about to start, I can get reliable news, Miss Lin will definitely win." Jian Mingren reminded.

"I was about to go to Intel to inspect the product, and I almost forgot about it." Tang Huan slapped his thigh.
