Chapter 61: Psychic Storm

What is "control", this sentence was popularized in Chinese by Kaiser in his own home.

At first, when several women communicated with him in Chinese, he deliberately avoided these obscure words or usages.

Because the extended meaning of the word "control" is entirely the result of the evolution of foreign languages, the Chinese language itself has no superfluous meaning.

By the time a few people's Chinese proficiency was already very good, Caesar had returned to the context he was familiar with in a trance, and the languages of those Internet era were gradually mentioned by him, and as a result, women of all sizes learned these Internet hot words from Caesar's previous life because of curiosity.

After they learned it, they gave Caesar the title of blonde and blue-eyed control as soon as possible, and it seemed that they couldn't take it off.

Even though described as blonde and blue-eyed, Caesar reappeared on "Winona Talk Show".

Verona has been carefully planned and packaged by FOX TV to become a famous female talk show host who can bring joy to people.

Before the guests go on the stage, she will do a stand-up-edian comedy, and she will make the audience laugh almost every time.

Before Caesar's appearance today, Winona was still an American stand-up full of laughter, either related to basketball or Caesar, and she didn't seem to worry about Caesar feeling embarrassed or embarrassed at all.

Caesar was indeed neither embarrassed nor embarrassed.

People live for a lifetime...... It may also be two lives, no matter what, if people can't make this joke in life, then they really live a life of grievance.

After Caesar appeared on the stage, he asked Winona to tease a few more words, and the two of them started a formal topic.

Same show. Without going into too much detail, in general, the Caesaron Guò show politely declined the warm invitation of Los Angeles fans, especially Lakers fans.

In general, because he doesn't have enough time to manage his own properties, it is impossible to find time to fly around the country with the team.

As for his shooting percentage that covers the entire half, Caesar just said it was talent. Because I like to play basketball since I was a child, I have not stopped for more than ten years to have this feeling.

In addition, Caesar emphasized that under the master's marking, his shooting percentage is only a little higher than that of the average NBA player.

Caesar also said that even if he doesn't play basketball, he will still get involved in basketball-related industries.

For example, the NBA broadcast authorization that has signed a contract with the NBA official, and the NBA games that are made according to the season according to the change of players every year, are absolutely New Year's goods.

The show did not reveal that Caesar was looking to buy the Lakers. At this juncture, Caesar didn't want to startle the snake.

Jerry? Buss is not easy to deal with, and if he knows Caesar's plan in advance, maybe Caesar can only hope for the Clippers.

This is an outcome that Caesar absolutely does not want to see, so he does not say a word about it on the show.

Caesar appeased the curiosity of his own media people, but the outside media did not want to let him go in the slightest.

The New York Times used the phrase "Who the hell is he?" This title was written in an opinion piece that frightened Caesar.

"The author of comics and animation, the greatest game producer, the famous musician, the promoter and planner of VGL, the inventor of the MV, the creative novelist, the screenwriter of excellent films and TV series, the famous Hollywood film director, and now the title of an excellent film actor, he is also the famous TV show planner, the inventor of the Shadow Dance, the head of the Shadow Dancers Dance Company, the chief designer of the Apple CD player that will be released during the Christmas season, The founder and president of Caesar Club, the owner of FFF Entertainment, the owner of Twentieth Century Fox Films, the owner of Fox Television, the creator, lead singer and captain of the rock band, and now a powerful basketball player whose specific strength is unknown. ”

"That's right. So many titles belong to the same person, Caesar. Even more excessive. Among them, the identity and title of the creator must be preceded by the word "prolific". ”

"You know, these titles are not all, considering that Blackwater Global Defense, the Angel Foundation, and some restaurants and hotels that have invested heavily in the name of Caesar Club are not very related to the entertainment industry, so they are not counted."

"Theoretically, we can get a rough idea of what kind of person Caesar is by these titles, but Caesar's cross-border outbreaks again and again have disrupted our stereotype of him every time."

"Tong Guò This time the NBA officially released the video. We can conclude that Caesar is either God's favorite or an alien hidden among humans, otherwise he would not have achieved amazing achievements in so many fields. ”

"If the previous field was only based on great intelligence, basketball now represents Caesar's real athletic talent."

"That's our point. Thanks to Caesar not joining the NBA, otherwise so many classic movies, television, games, music, and anime might not have appeared in the world at all, or would not have appeared many years later.

That's when it was called the biggest loss for fans. What's more, the NBA currently has the Bulls, Suns, Jazz, Knicks and Pistons, which are strong teams that contribute wonderful games to fans every year, so why bother pulling Caesar, who is not here? Li doesn't let it go......"

In short, this very ordinary review article can be said to be written from Caesar's standpoint, but it looks at Caesar in a cold sweat.

What is the situation with the aliens hiding among the earthlings? This minute is going to be pulled by the Pentagon to slice the rhythm!

It may be that I have seen too much in my previous life, and I am always full of "romantic" fantasies about things like pulling slices.

It seems that if there are people who are different from ordinary people in this world, they will be captured and sliced......

In fact, there are so many strange people in the world every year, and I have never heard of any of them being taken away by the government.

Just said that on a thunderstorm day, lightning struck three times in front of the camera, and there were not one or two people who were unharmed except for their hair being burned, and I didn't see anyone who was invited to drink tea and slice anything.

Many times, Caesar himself knew in his heart that this kind of mind was the typical reaction of someone who had secrets in his heart.

If someone has a heart to stimulate himself when his mind is relaxed, he will use words to stimulate himself. If you don't know it, you'll really show your stuff.

So knowing that this article was just a well-intentioned ridicule and had no intention of guiding and suggesting, he still didn't dare to expose his edge too much.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Christmas holiday, and FFF and Apple jointly launched the Apple portable CD player.

It seems that Jobs is definitely the one who takes advantage of this deal. FFF produced the technology, the FFF factory was responsible for production, and Apple was only responsible for designing the case, and the player was named Apple CD player.

In fact, this was only the first part of Caesar's alliance with the Apple to annex it, and Jobs could probably guess some of Caesar's thoughts, but he had to do it now.

Apple is far from being as successful as Caesar in his previous life, and has been forced by IBM and Microsoft to take care of himself in Caesar's life.

The root of Qiē is that the Apple system has long been taken out by Caesar and applied to its own PC.

The FFF company under Caesar's has never stopped launching personal computers, and the two models correspond to two customer positions.

One is the gamer. Kaiser directly used a streamlined and optimized DOS-like system to beat Microsoft, although the shipment is not much, but the FFF game computer brand has an objective popularity.

The other is an ordinary office PC, and this PC Caesar also uses an optimized and streamlined "Apple system".

The problem is that Caesar launched the "Apple system" before Apple, so the impact of this incident is that Apple has not been able to come up with a product that can have a place in the market.

This is the key to Jobs's final advantage of Caesar, and it would be naïve to think that Caesar's advantage is so good.

Caesar's conditions are conditional on equity transactions. If Apple's operation of portable CDs does not meet Caesar's expectations, he will recycle the license of CD technology. Then Apple will face the desperate situation of either being bought or going bankrupt.

Unless Steve Jobs is cramming for a while, pull in a lot of venture capital.

The problem is that in the face of such an embarrassing, feature-free Apple company, the executives of the venture capital firm are crazy. Have money but no land to spend, but invest in this money-losing goods?

said a thousand things and ten thousand, it was a form of persecution, and Jobs, who knew that it was poison, had to eat the bait that Caesar casually sprinkled.

Why did Caesar do this? Apple is no longer as awesome as it was in its previous life, so why would he do it? The key is that talent is hard to come by.

In Caesar's database. In addition to Jobs, Apple's helmsman is a talent that is rare in a thousand years, and many employees are top talents in the industry.

You must know that a huge company cannot become bigger and stronger with Jobs alone, and no matter how brilliant he is, it is impossible for him to realize it alone.

It's like those great game makers, if he was exhausted by himself, he wouldn't be able to make those 3A masterpieces that will go down in history.

The emphasis on team power is not only often mentioned in the military and on the sports field, but can be applied in any field that requires human collaboration.

Caesar not only values Jobs' ability, but also the ability of Jobs' helpers.

Caesar is very open to the point of letting Jobs work for himself, and in the face of such a "human essence", he can cooperate as much as possible, and if he can't cooperate, he can't do too much.

It is completely unrealistic to force the other party to work for yourself, and this practice is also annoying.

Caesar made up his mind that even if he couldn't convince Jobs, he would take down the helpers around him, and Apple's electrical engineers, programmers, product designers, and marketing personnel are the future cornerstones of the IT industry, and they are specialized talents that cannot be ignored.

That's why Caesar will pull the other party in the other party's predicament to win some dispensable favor.

In the event that nothing can be done, Caesar will decisively abandon Jobs and choose most of the remaining Apple employees.

The Apple CD was released in conjunction with Caesar's debut album.

With Christmas, the second shopping season second only to China's Double 11, Caesar and Jobs formulated a strategy of separate sales and bundled sales.

The first is the price of the CD player sold separately, $99, the Caesar album, which is sold separately for $19, and the album bundle CD player is $110.

Don't think it's a cabbage price. The purchasing power of $99 in the late '80s was sky-high, and although the dollar depreciated a lot after the Plaza Accord, the purchasing power in the United States was still strong, and it could still make Vincent in "Pulp Fiction" cry for a milkshake for five dollars.

Caesar remembers that in his previous life, someone said that the exchange rate between the yuan and the US dollar was not expensive for more than 30 yuan for a milkshake.

You have to calculate, thirty yuan in 2015 in Huaxia if you don't buy this milkshake. What else can you buy, five dollars in the United States in the late eighties without this milkshake.

A lot of people say it's unfair, it's really unfair, it's actually the algorithms of those who say that a five-dollar milkshake isn't expensive.

Standing in China in 2015, it is unfair to say that a milkshake of more than 30 yuan is not expensive.

Think about it, in China in the 80s, it was about 1 to 8 against the US dollar, and five US dollars was equal to 40 yuan.

Forty yuan in the late eighties in China. That terrifying purchasing power is simply unforgiving.

Ask the older generation, what was the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in a state enterprise at the end of the eighties? How many are more than five hundred a month?

What does 40 yuan mean for a monthly salary of 500? A milkshake is gone, and nearly one-tenth of your monthly income is gone......

Looking back, is the price of $99 the price of cabbage in the same era?

Caesar's bundling strategy has made both Apple and Caesar equally lucrative.

The day before Christmas Eve, the long queues in front of the sales counters of Apple CDs in major shopping malls were always the sight of Caesar's new game releases.

In addition to Caesar's debut rock album, the top three in the first season of "The Voice" and the top three in the singing category of "America's Got Talent" all have famous songs included in "The Voice Album" and "Got Talent Album".

In addition, the Boston Symphony Orchestra performs classic music albums by Mozart, Bach, Brahms, Beethoven and other classical music masters.

That's enough power to whet the appetite of music enthusiasts and Caesar fans. Those who like classical music are the dedication of the Boston Orchestra, and those who like pop music are the champions of "The Voice" and "Got Talent". Those who like rock music include Caesar's debut rock album.

In the face of such a lineup, Apple's CD player as the world's first CD player is an absolute hit.

Caesar had a monopoly on registered CD technology long before Sony and Philips, and the subsequent VCD and DVD technology will also press their timeline to squatting. In this way, it is too late for them to temporarily switch to other projects.

It's as if you've sprinted out with all your strength, and when you see that the finish line is about to be crossed, a wall rises up in front of you to block the finish line. Before the idea of turning was born, he crashed into it.

Sony has already experienced this kind of taste, and I believe that under the watchful eye of Caesar, Sony will experience this kind of thing in the future.

The patents in Caesar's hands can already be described as massive. He didn't even think about what he was using some patents for, but when he saw that the application time for Sony in the database was approaching, he took them out and applied for them more than half a year in advance, regardless of what these patents were used for.

Caesar's fans were very enthusiastic about Caesar's debut rock band album, and the sales of Apple CDs were raised, although it was within Jobs's prediction, but the specific amount of increase was completely shocking to Jobs.

From just before Christmas to the end of January 1990, three platinum sales!

And this sales was complained about by Caesar and sprayed by Caesar's fans at the same time.

The reason is that Jobs's expectation of sales is underestimated, and the output is not expected at all, and it is simply impossible to work overtime in a short time.

Otherwise, as Caesar's fans complained, this could have sold diamond records in two months, but only three million copies were sold because of production capacity......

You know, even if not everyone is a rock fan of Caesar, as a die-hard fan of Caesar, even if it is just a game fan, in the face of Caesar's first rock album, he will definitely buy it back and collect it.

The most ridiculous thing is that the output of the CD player is not enough, and the pressure speed of the CD record cannot keep up, which is really unusual.

Caesar was also a little depressed, he wanted to be lazy, so he simply handed over the production designation to Apple, and he didn't bother to ask at all.

In his impression, if the big Apple company can't even do the trivial thing of production designation, it simply apologizes to itself.

As a result, the big Apple company really showed Caesar a joke.

In fact, in the face of Caesar's fan base, no one will be able to recognize it for a while, where is the upper limit of the fan economy.

Jobs had never experienced such a thing as specifying the appearance and sales of a product based on fans before, and of course, this kind of thing would not have been done by Jobs in Caesar's memory.

There are many reasons why Steve Jobs is known as Joe's gangmaster, but one of the most important is that he is particularly ruthless to Apple fans.

Some fans wrote to him to give him advice.

Many of them were particularly impressive in terms of product appearance and function, and Jobs not only ignored them, but also told his employees and assistants to ignore them as much as possible.

In his words, what does the public understand? If our Apple products are so mediocre and follow the aesthetic of the masses, are we still Apple?

Steve Jobs is such a horizontal CEO.

But now no one will understand what kind of mental storm Jobs had in the face of Caesar's fan economy.

This is an effect that Caesar did not expect, but inadvertently achieved it. (To be continued......)
