144. Under Apple
'Steve, Miss Lee is gone'
Steve Gary Wozniak, vice president of Apple, heard the employee's report and knew the news that Li Xiujing was coming, and he also wanted to meet the other party, so he came to Jobs, pushed open the door of Steve Jobs's office, and Wads saw that there was no Li Xiujing in the office, and knew that the beauty had left.
'yes, just left,' Jobs said with a frustrated sigh and weakness to his old friend.
"Hehe, Steve, haven't you given up on Li yet, I see that the difficulty factor of your pursuit of her is quite large, and I haven't seen any progress from you for so long, I think you should give up."
Seeing Jobs like this, as his old friend Woltz is a little gloating, Jobs's appearance is quite charming, the pursuit of girls has never been unfavorable in the past, Wolds and Jobs are just the opposite in this regard, Wolds is a little fat, he has not been a woman since he was a child, for Jobs's performance in this regard, Wads has always been envious, jealous and hateful, seeing Jobs finally eat in front of women, how can Wolds not feel happy.
'Woz, you're still not my friend, not only don't you comfort me, but you hit me like this' Jobs may have also seen the other party's dark heart, and said angrily.
'No, I didn't mean to hit you, I just told the truth, I heard that there are many people who pursue Li, and I also heard that the strength of your competitors is not weaker than you, the vice president of Miss Li's company seems to pursue her again, the Chinese have a saying that the water purification tower gets the moon first, both of them are Chinese, and they are so close, I think you should not be able to compare with Bo'
"Who said that, Bo is not as handsome as me, and he is Xiujing's subordinate, I don't think Xiujing likes that guy at all, how can I be afraid of losing to him" Jobs said a little excitedly.
Apple is so close, the people in the office have a lot of business dealings with Apple, they are familiar with each other, Jobs and Woz both know Ying Bo, the vice president of the office, and the other party's pursuit of Li Xiujing is not a secret in the whole company, Jobs and the two easily know about it, and for competitors, Jobs is also very unhappy with Ying Bo.
'yes, I don't think Lee likes that guy Bo, but I don't seem to like you either' paused, seeing Jobs' expression a little excited, Wads didn't want to give the other party a chance to quibble, and then said, 'Steve, what is the matter with Lee coming to you this time'
"It's nothing, it's just that Chen wants us to help him buy some more equipment."
Jobs saw Woltz change the topic, although he was very reluctant, but he still answered, after all, he was talking about business, and Jobs would not forget himself even if he liked Li Xiujing no matter how much he liked it.
'What equipment'
'This is the list of equipment, you see,' Jobs said, handing Watts a document, which was the list of equipment that Li Xiujing had just handed over to Jobs and needed to be purchased by Apple.
'These are all large wireless receivers, and these devices can be used for digital transmission and reception, Steve, Chen doesn't seem to need these if they are only used for pager transmission, he won't be doing wireless telephony'
Wads's skills in the field of telecommunications are much stronger than Jobs's, and when he saw this list, he guessed what Chen Yihua wanted to do, and under the influence of his father, who was an engineer, Wolds showed great interest in electronics since he was a child; At the age of 12, Wodds showed his genius for electronics - he made a homemade adder and subtractor with a few transistors from Fairchild, and won the top prize in the electronics category at the California Tech Fair, and the organizers couldn't believe that the organizers could not believe that the result was made by a teenager! At the age of 13, he obtained an amateur radio license in the United States, assembled his own Haley Craft radio transceivers, and became one of the youngest ham families in the United States. As a schoolboy, Wodds was a perennial winner of science exhibitions, and at the age of 15 he successfully assembled an addition and subtraction device in binary representation.
At the age of 18, his electronics teacher introduced Wodds to a part-time job at Sylvania, where he learned how to write the Fortran programming language. Working in a computer company gave Wads the opportunity to come into contact with computer manuals that contained the internal structure of a mini computer, so he began to practice copying computer designs on paper, which allowed Woz to slowly develop into computers in the field of electronic wireless communication.
"Well, maybe, it's not impossible for Chen to study wireless phones, you forget how many pager accessories he bought, I think wireless phones are the future direction of wireless communication, Chen will not let go of wireless phones when he engages in pagers."
When Tianyi was first established, many of Chen Yihua's devices were transferred from Apple, plus Apple and Motorola also cooperated, and Jobs and Watts knew the pager and mobile phone very well.
'Also, Chen has always looked far on the technical side,' Wads paused and then asked Jobs, "Steve, I've heard that the floppy disk drive is making a lot of progress, can our company make our own mobile floppy disk before Appleii goes public?"
"No, it is estimated that it will take a while, and even if we can develop a mobile floppy disk in advance, our current production capacity will not be able to produce a mature product before Appleii goes on the market, anyway, now there is a window to connect the disk drive on the computer, and when the time comes, as long as the mobile floppy disk is made, we can take out the disk drive and sell it separately."
Apple's two major projects are now in charge of Wolds and Steve Jobs, and Wolds is better at research and development in the field of electronic circuit boards, so he will develop Apple's own chips and processors.
Steve Jobs is in charge of disk storage technology, the disk drive that links the periphery of the computer is much easier than the memory, and it has been made now, but it is not enough to have a disk drive machine, and a storage device is also needed, Chen Yihua proposed the concept of mobile disk, and he asked Apple to study the mobile floppy disk first, and then to study the mobile disc CD-ROM
The mobile floppy disk disk is a simplified version of the floppy disk drive on the computer now, and there is actually a mobile floppy disk technology on the market, but Apple is a new company, and there is not much technology accumulation in this area after all, and it still takes time to produce the drive disk by yourself.
However, Apple is in the United States, there are a lot of talents, Chen Yihua asked Jobs to engage in a mobile floppy disk, it is not as complex as a CD-ROM disc, even if the CD-ROM disc is researched, it also needs a unique set of laser reading equipment technology, the mobile floppy disk is a simplified floppy disk drive in the computer, this product is relatively mature, as long as there are talents, Apple will be able to copy it, and it will soon be able to make a mobile floppy disk.
'Steve, do you think it's necessary for our company to put so much effort into storage, if we work out a mobile floppy disk, and we want to produce it ourselves, we need a floppy disk manufacturing company, I just looked at the company's budget, and if we act like this, we will have very little liquidity left'
For Chen Yihua instructed Apple to study the storage device project, Wolds objected, he did not think that this technology is not important, but that Apple should focus on the field of computer assembly and software development, rather than in the manufacturing industry, the storage device upfront investment is very large, it is better to buy other companies' products to be more economical.
"Wads, didn't we say this thing, if the company's funds are not enough, Chen will provide funds, with Chen's funds, Apple has its own core manufacturing industry is also good, I am very optimistic about the storage disk product, as long as this kind of product is listed, our company will soon make money."
If it weren't for the low interest rate of the $500,000 that Chen Yihua lent to Apple, not only would Watts oppose Apple's entry into the manufacturing industry so quickly, but even Jobs would have objected, because Chen Yihua promised that as long as Apple had insufficient funds in the future, he would take out a loan, and Jobs and Watts would have agreed to Apple's entry into the two major manufacturing industries of chip development and storage disk development.
'Steve, what the hell do you say Chan does, how can he have so much money'
'I don't know, but the Chinese have always been very mysterious, I heard that many of them are rich, I guess Chen's family must be a very rich family in Asia, Chen's funds should come from his family'
Chen Yihua has invested nearly one million US dollars in Apple before and after, this figure is not something that anyone can take out in the United States, and there is no doubt that Jobs and the two have already identified Chen Yihua's identity as a rich man.
Chen Yihua now has an absolute controlling stake in Apple, but the cooperation with the two is still relatively pleasant, Wads is older than Jobs, but his surname is described as a technical man who is introverted and not good at socializing but is loyal and hardworking, he is kind to others, likes a harmonious atmosphere, and is not as strong as Jobs.
Steve Jobs is a perfectionist, he is more impulsive than Wads, and he has a strong desire to control, but it may be because of his young age, and the Apple company in this world is Chen Yihua's head, he was looking for Jobs and Wolds to do it together, Apple now has total assets of more than one million US dollars, and Jobs's net worth is more than 200,000 US dollars in terms of shares. He always thought that if it weren't for Chen Yihua, he might still be a small employee of a company, so he didn't care that Chen Yihua controlled such a large stake in Apple.
