"Come in, this is the house I bought at the beginning of this year, and I don't have any friends coming over yet, so it's rare for Eric to come over and see how about it?" Woz said with a smile, he was still very happy about Chen Zhiwen's arrival, Chen Zhiwen was once his boss, and later he was a partner, but with Chen Zhiwen's character, he was more like a friend.

"Come on." Chen Zhiwen took Liu Xiaoli's hand and walked in.

"Is this your girlfriend?" Woz looked and asked, he had thought it was just an assistant, or something else, but now it didn't seem ordinary.

"Yes. Just call her Liu. Chen Zhiwen said.

"OK, I'm very happy to meet you, beautiful Miss Liu." Wadsz said politely.

"Thank you." Liu Xiaoli said politely.

"Woz, you're not too young and haven't found a girlfriend?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile as he walked.

Originally, the historical Watts, he didn't know what the marriage situation was, but because of his own interference, Watts joined the senior management of the United States company in the United States at a very young age, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars plus housing and luxury cars, etc., and later Jobs founded Apple, Watts also followed, and after Apple went public and developed for a few years, Watts also became a billionaire, dollar-level, which is not a lot in the United States, plus his age is only 34 years old, it can be said that he is a typical diamond king.

"Haha, you are the same as my parents, but I'm not in a hurry, in fact, many young and beautiful girls have taken the initiative to find me over the years, but I don't know if they are for my money or people, so there is no official dating partner." Woxz said with a shrug.

“.？” Chen Zhiwen was speechless for a while, just your figure who can't see the tip of your shoes when you look down? With a beard on your face, if you are not rich, what young and beautiful girl can look at you?

"Woz, actually, having money is also a part of you, and besides, this money is still earned by yourself, isn't it also your advantage?" Chen Zhiwen said helplessly, he doesn't care about ordinary people, but this Wotz is his friend for many years, in the early days, if it weren't for him, the arcade might not have developed, or rather, at least a few years later, it would still be of great help to Chen Zhiwen, so I would say a few more words.

"You're right, but I should at least find someone with the same outlook on life." Wads came to the sofa next to the pool, invited Chen Zhiwen and the two to sit down, and took out a few bottles of beer.

Liu Xiaoli declined, Chen Zhiwen took it, although he didn't like to drink very much, but the beer was okay, anyway, he wouldn't drink too much, and it was nothing to drink a little occasionally.

"There should be a lot of people in Stanford University who meet this condition, but it is suitable for you." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Maybe, maybe one day I will meet true love." Woz took a sip of his beer, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You didn't just come to talk to me." ”

Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "Yes, I heard what happened to Apple, now that I have left Apple, what do you want to do next, start your own business?" ”

In the original history, Watts had a plane crash shortly after Apple's launch, which caused people to suffer a lot of injuries, even lost their memories, and spent several months in the hospital to recover, but now, history has changed too much and this has not happened.

However, some things still can't be changed, such as some developments within Apple, especially related to Steve Jobs, which are similar to the original history.

Jobs, when he was young, was still too extreme in personality, and with the fact that he succeeded at such a young age and became an entrepreneurial hero in the United States, people began to float, and within the company, there were conflicts with many people, including management, technical teams and even veterans like Woz.

This is also the reason why he was kicked out of Apple in his original history, but after all, he is the founder of Apple + a national business idol, and the Apple board of directors will not take this step unless it has to, and before taking a step, he has basically tolerated Jobs for a long time, and in this process, many excellent employees of Apple have also been forced away, including Woz.

In fact, within Apple, Woz's identity is not much worse than Jobs, but when the contradiction is getting bigger and bigger, Wolds himself is a technician, and his patience is not as good as those workplace elites, plus he has a good personal relationship with Jobs, so in order to avoid further deterioration, he resigned and left.

Although Chen Zhiwen is in Hong Kong during this time, he is also concerned about the situation of various large electronics companies around the world, including Apple, and this kind of thing is inevitable, because there is Jobs, no matter how strong Jobs' ability is in the future, but now he is still immature, and the ability is there, but his personality and behavior are not good, and he cannot gather a team's ability, which will eventually lead to the decline of Apple in the mid-80s and the embarrassing situation of being T out of the company, and even the success of Jobs in the future. I also want to thank this big failure, after the return of Steve Jobs to Apple at the end of the 90s, although the personality is still not very good, but at least I am willing to listen to the opinions of many people, and I am much more polite to people.

Fortunately, he has taken advantage of the high price of Apple to sell the stocks in his hands, and what Apple has become will not affect him. And in this life, there is beauty, and it is not certain whether Apple can return as the king in a few decades.

"Entrepreneurship? I can't. Woltz took another sip of his beer and said, "I'm good at technology, not creativity, and only people like you, Eric, or Steve Jobs, are suitable for entrepreneurship." ”

Although there are many contradictions with Jobs, Wolds also has to admit that Jobs is very thoughtful about many things, but sometimes, he doesn't consider reality and only cares about ideals, which is too paranoid.

"Then since you're not going to start a business, why don't you come back to Midea to help me?" Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

When I asked Watts to go to Apple, I actually thought about it today, Apple's decline in the 80s was almost inevitable, and then I would recall Watts back at that time, and the advantage of this was that I used Apple to earn more than $1 billion in profits, and Watts also became a billionaire, which is also the reward he deserves.

"What am I going to do in the United States? Or developing games? Woz asked, putting down the bottle.

"No, I hope you can come to Midea and be in charge of the next few computer projects of Midea." Chen Zhiwen said.

In terms of games, Midea has basically matured, and now, Midea's home game consoles and handheld consoles have begun to accept third-party games, with a huge existing user base, low-cost and high-quality production OEM capabilities, and sales channels covering most of the world's economic sizable places, any game development company, only need to develop the game, and leave the rest to Midea.

All-round hosting, plus the return of 7% of gross profits, this is almost the best gift for all game developers, as long as a person has a little brain, he will not refuse this cooperation.

Although the profit is conceded, the United States has further consolidated its hegemony in the home game console and handheld market, others can't learn even if they want to, because it is not unconditional for the United States to give so many benefits to game developers, if it is not an exclusive license, then this cooperation, game developers will not make money at all, unless competitors buy out at a high price, but this is obviously impossible, these competitors do not have the financial resources of the United States at all, and they are beautiful, and they dare not use the buyout method, but win-win cooperation.

In the next ten years, the game of beauty will be almost difficult to beat, and in a dozen years, with the rise of computer games and Internet games, it may change at that time, but it is far from now, and there is no point in thinking about it.

The monopoly in the field of games has made Midea one of the world's electronics giants, but large companies cannot only focus on the present, Chen Zhiwen also invested in companies such as Weisoft for the future of Midea, but this is just an investment, and its own industry still needs to have.

But Chen Zhiwen also hopes that Midea can control a certain computer hardware market, although the profit of hardware is not as good as software, it can drive a large number of jobs, and at the same time, if you want to achieve results in the mobile phone or even smart phone market in the future, it will also be of great help to obtain the computer hardware market.

And Woz, what he is best at is the research and development of this kind of product, and Apple's several computers today, whether they are selling well or not, are more or less related to Wads.

"Some of the computers I developed at Apple weren't so successful." Wads laughed.

"In this world, who can guarantee that the products they make will sell well? It's good to have a certain probability, and I'm sure you have the ability to do that. Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

Even if he is a traverser, he can only judge whether a product can sell well from a large level, and the same product, several different ones are placed at present, and Chen Zhiwen doesn't know what will happen.

This is just like Chen Zhiwen knows that the future function opportunity will sell well, but whether the developed can compete with others, then I don't know, at most he will have a first-mover advantage, but at present, the computer market is gone, unless the future laptop.

"Okay, I'll go back to the United States, but I still hope to work in Los Angeles." Woz nodded.

"I'm a little surprised that you agreed so quickly." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, although the United States is a large company, but Woz is also a billionaire now, and this kind of person is most likely reluctant to work for others.

"I don't have any plans at the moment, so let's go to the United States first, but if one day, I want to leave, don't make an emotional scene and don't let me go." Waz shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"That's fine, but if you're still in charge of a big project, at least you'll have to hand over about the same before you go." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"No problem, even if it's an Apple project, it's all clear when I leave the company, and even if they have problems now, I'll go and see it often." Wolds said.

"Okay, then it's decided, in this way, in terms of treatment, I will give you an annual salary of 5 million US dollars." Chen Zhiwen paused and said: "It's not convenient to talk about stocks, Midea has not divided shares yet, but we can take the way of dividends from the project, how about it?" ”
