Chapter 1617: IMAC

"It seems that it is still unknown who killed the deer!" Microsoft executives finally had a smile on their faces, the investigation report was inaccurate, and the real results could only be released on October 1st.

"Don't rejoice too soon, although the results of the survey should be very problematic, they can also indicate the problem. This at least shows that there are more users of QQ than we are MSN users in the United States! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the United States is our own chassis, and QQ has actually achieved an advantage ahead of us in the United States, which is a serious problem." Bill Gates snapped, "There are still five months left before the end, and everything has time to change." We have to spend at least 5 months to complete the overtaking in the United States, so that MSN users more than QQ users, at least like today's survey results, I don't want to see a second time! ”

"Yes!" The executives responded loudly, and they were still more confident at this time!

"Mr. Hulk, you make a report and tell everyone where the gap between us and QQ is, and what are the factors that cause our country to lag behind QQ!"

"Yes!" A somewhat unfamiliar person in the room, Mr. Hulk, stood up.

This Mr. Hulk is an executive that Bill Gates spent a lot of money to poach from Apple.

"Let me introduce to you that this Mr. Hulk was originally Apple's product director, and since the previous year, after Jobs' return, he has been in charge of Apple's product design!"

"Apple's latest iMAC computer is the masterpiece of this Mr. Hulk, and the market research and design of the entire product are organized by Mr. Hulk!"

"As we all know, Apple's iMAC computer has been very strong in the market recently, especially its product design, which has made countless people fall in love. So Apple won a huge victory, and PC sales increased eightfold in one year. What an unbelievable achievement! Bill Gates took the initiative to introduce Hulk's identity, and the executives present looked at Hulk's expressions full of admiration.

No way, 98 years of Apple, it's just a mythical start.

Originally, Apple's personal computer sales were shrinking year by year, but after Jobs returned to power, Apple launched the ancestor of the imac computer that shocked the world in 98 years after two years of hard work: iMac G3.

This computer is so amazing that after it started selling, it directly increased the sales of Apple's computer to 8 times that of last year, and the stock price rose 3 times, which simply shocked my mother.

The design of IMACG3 is also extremely amazing in the eyes of many computer elites in front of them.

Because of the imacG3, the all-in-one machine has almost been perfected.

The host computer, screen, and audio system, etc., are all integrated into a monitor-sized computer, so that the size of the computer is directly doubled, and people who buy IMAC computers can use it directly as long as they plug it in, without all kinds of complicated wiring.

Don't underestimate this design, later according to market research, it was found that 36% of iMac users just need to plug in a power cord to the iMac computer to be able to use, without having to engage in other things.

Even such an iMac computer is hundreds or even thousands of dollars more expensive than other computers with the same configuration.

At the same time, the iMac computer is also very high in terms of configuration, basically the top configuration of the current computer, but it is gathered in a small space, which is the embodiment of the design process to achieve the extreme.

Otherwise, if the design process is different, the heat dissipation problem of a high-end computer alone is enough for all designers to have a headache.

All in all, IMAC is the world's best in terms of beauty, performance, and design, and Apple has gradually formed a high-quality brand, making IMAC invincible in the market...... No, it's already turned over.

Unexpectedly, the Hulk in front of him is the designer of the entire imac computer, this is simply a god-like figure, Bill Gates was able to invite him over, and let him investigate the instant messaging software in advance, apparently intending to let this Hulk help improve MSN, so that Microsoft's chances of winning have greatly increased.

However, the executives at the scene still have some doubts in their hearts, that is, how could Apple be willing to let a top genius like Hulk go and let the other party join Microsoft?

Moreover, it seems that Apple's external propaganda that the entire IMAC is designed and checked by Jobs himself, and it is rare to hear this guy called Hulk, could this be a liar?

"Gentlemen, Mr. Hulk's identity is beyond doubt!" Seeing the puzzled expressions in the eyes of the executives, Bill Gates took the initiative to stand up and say, then glanced at Hulk and asked with respect, "Mr. Hulk, do you mind if I tell you some things?" ”

"Of course I don't mind!" Hulk smiled, "Thanks to Mr. Bill Gates's warm invitation, then everyone will be colleagues working together in the future, and the most important thing is to open up and let everyone understand each other, so as to form a tacit understanding and trust in the working environment." Besides, there is nothing unpleasant about me, so why can't I say it? ”

"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point!" Bill Gates nodded and told the executives a shocking truth, that is, this Mr. Hulk did not leave Apple himself, but was fired by Apple.

The reason is very simple, it is because of Apple's external publicity, and all the credit goes to Jobs.

This Mr. Hulk was originally the chief designer of Apple Computer, and after Jobs' return, he talked with Jobs for a long time, and then worked for three days and three nights to come up with the IMAC design.

Jobs was shocked and immediately authorized Hulk to be responsible for the design and development of the IMAC computer, so Hulk worked diligently for another year, for which he even gave up his vacation, lost several hairs, and finally came up with the IMAC design.

Followed by various improvements and remissions, Hulk has always been on the front line of design and development, although Jobs is indeed there, but most of the credit is to Hulk, Jobs is at most a guy who calls the shots.

In Hulk's words, Jobs didn't really understand computers, but was just good at managing and commanding.

But what Hulk didn't expect was that when IMAC began to carry out preliminary publicity and a large number of PR marketing reports began to appear in the media, the main hero became Jobs.

The shape design of the imac is Jobs's, and the hardware design is also Jobs's, Jobs gave up everything, and worked hard with everyone or something, anyway, the Hulk's name rarely appeared in the whole report from beginning to end, only a few reports mentioned it, but it was mentioned together with other R&D personnel, and it seemed that Hulk's whole person was insignificant.

And what made Hulk most angry was that at the IMAC press conference, Jobs stood on the stage and talked endlessly, and he himself proposed to go on stage to explain the characteristics of IMAC, but was rejected by Jobs.

Jobs just lightly told him to do his job and not think about other excessive things.

So the angry Hulk and Jobs had a big fight, and they were fired by the hot-tempered Jobs. Then this matter reached Bill Gates's ears, so he was invited by Bill Gates to join Microsoft.
