Chapter 419: Qiao helps the leader start a business
Rune Science and Technology Research Institute.
A young man with shoulder-hanging hair and a beard was concentrating on the plate in front of him, which was carved with different lines. It is said to be a pattern, but in fact, it is a combination of various unit runes that have a specific function.
Beside him was another young man, just like him, with long hair and a beard! The two look a little alike, just like brothers. In fact, they are closer than brothers.
"How's that, Woz!" The young man standing opened his mouth and asked, "Have we made our computer board?" Can it be used, right? ”
The young man who was concentrating on drawing the runes put down the things in his hand and said, "No problem! Seriously, Jobs! I don't understand why you want to make this kind of thing so much, you know, as long as you implant rune seeds, none of these things will be used! ”
It turned out that these two young people were Jobs and Wads, because Jobs himself lacked some talent in the field of skills, and he finally found his old friend Wads to help. Both of them work for Runetech, but Jobs's unit is more design-oriented, while Woz is in the real hardware group.
Prior to that, they were involved in the development of Runetech's starship, where they were responsible for developing a crystal plate that resembled a computer. However, that kind of thing is designed for rune seed users, not for ordinary people.
One day, Steve Jobs had the idea to design a similar tablet for ordinary people. The biggest problem with this kind of thing is energy. The rest of the matter has already been solved by the Rune Technology Company.
However, the words of energy. That's not a simple question. It is important to know that seed energy can be converted into electricity through equipment, but there is no way to convert electricity into seed energy. Even if Jobs and Wads were geniuses, they couldn't help it, and in the end, they got along with a solution, simply designed an additional energy storage space, so that ordinary people could find rune seed users to inject energy.
In fact, some people have thought about this for a long time. It's just that I didn't do it, because a discerning person can see that the seeds will definitely be popularized in the future, even if not this year or next year. It will also be popularized within a decade. After having the seeds. This kind of tablet is like garbage, and no one will buy it at all.
Obviously, Jobs also thought about such a question, and he replied to Wads: "Why do you think it has no value? ”
"Because the seeds will soon be widespread!"
"Nope. I think it's going to be at least a long time before the seeds really become widespread. Know the way. Now it costs $100,000 for a single seed! Many people don't have the money to buy seeds, and if they want to popularize it, it will be ten years. Then we still have ten years to make a lot of money! ”
"Ten years?"
Wads was a little moved after hearing this, but it was only heartbeat, if he wanted to start a business with Jobs, it would be impossible. He mixes well with Runetech, is already a small leader of a project, and has also gotten options for Runetech.
According to his estimates, the options he owns may be worth tens of millions of dollars! If it goes public, it is a pity that Rune Technology is not a listed company, but the annual dividends are also quite considerable.
Jobs has repeatedly persuaded his old friends to come out and start a business, but unfortunately he has never been able to convince him, and he can only give Woz one-third of the shares, and then get the patent for Woz's revised rune technology tablet.
"I'm sure a lot of people bought this design! It is in line with the market demand and will definitely catch fire! Jobs kept cheering himself up, but he was actually a little worried.
What if the business fails?
Will you be able to go back to work at Runetech? The competition for positions here is fierce, but fortunately, I was able to join the company one step ahead of others, otherwise I might not even be qualified for an interview.
Jobs has followed Wads in the past few years and worked well in Rune Technology, with dividends after every successful project, and soon became a millionaire. It's a pity that Jobs' ambition is not just to be a millionaire, he wants to be a multimillionaire, a billionaire.
Multi-millionaires can be reached in a few years.
But it's hard to be a billionaire, and Jobs thinks that if he stays here, he can't become a billionaire. In order to realize his childhood wish and self-pursuit, he decided to start a business. Got a state-of-the-art rune design computer board from Woz, and then moved to Seattle's Silicon Valley to set up a company.
What is the name of the company? Jobs thought to himself.
Apple?
This already has this, Alex has already started a computer company called Apple, this name is really good, but it's a pity that it's not his own.
Other Microsoft companies and Google companies are also good, but unfortunately they are all subsidiaries of the Ark Group, and they have long been registered.
After thinking about it, Jobs decided to call it a "giant" company! He wanted the company to grow into a giant, and a giant of rune technology products. Now the rune technique has gradually opened up to the people, but it is only limited to civilian products, and Jobs's tablet computer belongs to the civilian one.
He found some of his friends, pulled his family, and set up the production line together. The workers of this production line are all rune seed users, and they get a resource pack from Jobs, and then download it into the seed system, and after unzipping and installing, they will have an additional skill.
This skill is designed to burn runes on a crystal glass called the "Gorilla", which becomes a tablet. This kind of work can be said to be done by fools, but everything is built on the basis of Woz's work, so that it can be so easy.
Of course, such production is not without the slightest risk. In the burning process, if you don't concentrate enough, it is very likely that a board will be broken, resulting in a decrease in the yield rate.
The crystal glass plates, called "gorillas", are specially made and a special medium is added to them. It can withstand the operation of seed energy, and this medium is harvested from the moon, which is very precious.
"Jobs, how much do you sell for a computer board like this?" Jobs' girlfriend asked as she burned it.
Originally, she didn't have the money to buy seeds, but since Jobs joined Runetech, she had the opportunity to get some inside information, plus she was lucky enough to draw free seeds. In addition to her, there was also Jobs's sister who was also obtained through this method.
As for Jobs' parents, it was Jobs who bought them as birthday gifts with his salary. Now these two old people also found time. Help your son start his own business. Both of them pricked up their ears as well. I'd like to hear what Steve Jobs had to say about this question.
Jobs thought for a moment and said, "We have to sell it for at least $2,000, otherwise we won't be able to do it." ”
$2000!
This price may seem high. It's actually not high. You know, today's desktop computers are about $1,000. If Steve Jobs' tablet could be marketed. Even if it's $2,000, someone will rush to buy it.
"But," Jobs' girlfriend said with some concern, "the big problem with your tablet is that you need to find a seed user to recharge." In this way, the value is greatly reduced! ”
"It doesn't matter! As long as the tablet is bought back, someone will definitely be able to solve this problem. ”
Mr. Jobs seemed optimistic, but things were not good. After his first shipment of 100 tablets was made, no one bought them, because those who had seeds didn't need them, and those who didn't have seeds couldn't use them. You must know that it is quite troublesome to go to the seed user to recharge every time you run out of energy.
Day by day, only about 10 tablets were sold, and they were all returned after the energy was used up. This blow almost made Jobs faint, and he kept thinking of ways to sell these tablets.
In the end, he even sold the computer to the Rune Technology Company, which shocked the people above: "Someone actually used the company's resources to develop a computer, which is unruly and illegal!" ”
So the relevant departments of the company began to organize materials, preparing to bring down Jobs and Woz in one fell swoop, so that they would lose money. After such an incident, Jobs was afraid to even meet his old friend, and he knew that he had killed Woz.
You know, if Woz hadn't been involved in this matter, he could have become a multimillionaire comfortably. Now it's a good thing, once you are sued by the company, you will completely lose your job and owe a huge debt.
Faced with such a situation, Jobs was not defeated, and he tried everything to redeem it. He knew that only by finding the CEO of the Rune Technology Company could he stop the lawsuit and bring him back to life.
So he wanted to sell the tablet to the Rune Technology Company, but unfortunately, the owner of the Rune Technology Company did not want this kind of home-based product, but wanted a high-end product. What's more, this product has a major flaw: "Those who need it can't use it, and those who can use it don't need it!" ”
Jobs still didn't give up, looking for people everywhere to promote his products, especially the top management of the Rune Technology Company, he looked for them all over the time, and showed up on time every day, just like commuting to work.
This kind of stalking method is very good, which made the senior management of Rune Technology Company upset, and one of them couldn't help but yell: "Stay away from such garbage!" Don't let me see you again! ”
Finally, Jobs thought of a person he hadn't looked for yet. That's the real boss Alex, but he doesn't know how to get in touch with Lu Dao, so he can only stand at the door of the rune technology company, hoping to meet Alex.
I have to say that Jobs' luck was really good, just when the court sent the verdict down and he was about to despair, Alex appeared. When Jobs saw it, he hurriedly ran over and hugged his thigh: "Help!" Hero! ”
When Steve Jobs appeared, Alex knew who he was, but he didn't expect him to make such a rogue move. Of course, if Jobs wasn't a scoundrel, he wouldn't be Jobs.
After understanding, Alex decided to reach out and pull him: "It's okay, I'll let the company withdraw the lawsuit now." ”
"What about my tablet?" Jobs looked at Alex and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "I think this design is fine, but it can't be sold!" ”
No problem!
People who need this kind of thing can't use it, and people who can use it don't need it. But this is not difficult Alex, he thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will invest 1 million dollars in you to start a company together." I'm going to have 50% of the shares, you're 25% of the shares, and the next 25% is Woz's. ”
When Jobs heard this, he was a little reluctant: "Wolds wants 25%? Then I'm not going to do it! ”
He didn't dare to compete with Alex for a stake, but it was reluctant to put him on an equal footing with Wads. However, this matter is not up to him, Alex just said lightly: "The patent is Woz's!" ”
Not only that, but Wads also took the risk with Jobs! It would be too fast to cross the river and tear down the bridge now, but Jobs wouldn't have done it that much, he meant that he wanted himself to have 30 percent of the shares, and Wads' 20 percent of the shares. In this way, he will feel better.
Jobs used his stalking skills to divide the shares according to his ideas, and said that Wads refused to come out and start a business with him, even if he gave 10% of the shares, it was too much.
Alex didn't want to do this, he called Woz over and said, "From today onwards, you can resign from the Rune Tech Company, and then start a company with Jobs!" ”
After hearing this, Woz was dumbfounded, but this decision was made by Alex for him, so he couldn't refuse. But he immediately asked a question: "The problem of energy is not easy to solve!" If you can't change to use normal energy, then the market for this thing is very small! ”
Alex waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this! ”
After saying that, he stretched out his finger and gently touched the air, revealing a beautiful rune, Jobs was confused, but Woz was ecstatic.
"I see, I can still do this!" Woz shouted, grabbing his hair excitedly: "As long as you adjust it, even if it's electricity, you can charge it!" ”
When Jobs heard this, he immediately understood: "Alex modified their energy system to change it to be usable by charging.!" ”
As a result, Jobs's giant company was soon established, and the tablet they launched to ordinary people was very popular, and it was immediately sold out, and the production line had to be expanded. Fate fluctuated here, and the trajectory of Jobs' life was back on a normal track.
Just as Joe's gang leader began to embark on the road of entrepreneurship, Alex received a piece of information: "Iron Man appeared in New York and helped the citizens fight the gangsters!" (To be continued......)
