"What, your name is Jobs?"

When Du Yongxiao heard this, he stared at each other with wide eyes.

Jobs didn't expect Du Yongxiao to have such a big reaction, but he was startled, "Have you heard of my name?" ”

Without waiting for Du Yongxiao to answer, Jobs continued to look gloomy and said: "Yes, since you are in this business, you must have heard my name." Before that, I worked for a large company, where I was the head of programming, responsible for the company's most important computer programming, and my salary was as high as $3,500 a month. ”

After a pause, Jobs continued: "Both the CEO of the company and his employees are very good to me, and they treat me as an elite. Indeed, I was really an elite at that time. ”

As he spoke, Jobs took out the briefcase tucked under his arm, opened it, took out a stack of materials from it, and handed it to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao looked at it, it was Jobs's resume.

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, USA. He was abandoned by his parents just after he was born. Luckily, Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs – a well-meaning couple adopted him.

Jobs lived near the "Silicon Valley" in the United States, and his neighbors were all employees of Hewlett-Packard. Under the influence of these people, Jobs was obsessed with electronics from an early age.

An HP engineer saw that he was so obsessed that he recommended that he attend Hewlett-Packard's "Discoverers Club," a party for young engineers that takes place every Tuesday night in the company's cafeteria.

At a party, Jobs saw computers for the first time, and he began to have a hazy understanding of computers.

When he was in junior high school, Jobs met Steve Wozniak at a class reunion, and the two hit it off. Steve Wozniak is the president of the school's electronics club and has a great interest in electronics.

At the age of 19, Steve Jobs took a financial break after only one semester and became an employee of the Atari video game company. He lived in the garage of the Woz family and often went to the community college to audit calligraphy classes and other classes.

It was during this period that Jobs relied on hard work to study and officially joined Hewlett-Packard and became an elite member of Hewlett-Packard.

Du Yongxiao carefully looked through the files in his hand, most of them were Jobs' experience in Hewlett-Packard, and the HP computer development team column did have Jobs' name written on it, and the title was also the director of the development department.

Du Yongxiao continued to look through it, and then Jobs's ID card and some photos, including a group photo with HP President "David Puke" and other HP executives, but Jobs in the photos looked much more energetic than the real person.

"With all due respect, Mr. Jobs, if this information in my hand is true, I think you can find a position much better than this newly registered computer company." Du Yongxiao put the information back on the table, looked at Jobs and said.

Jobs looked at Du Yongxiao and said with some frustration: "If I don't make mistakes, I'm still the head of the development department, and I'm not afraid of people knowing, anyway, I'm notorious in the industry now." ”

Jobs took a deep breath and then plucked up the courage to say: "A month ago, I was very successful in developing a new computer program for the company, and many colleagues helped me celebrate that night. I drank too much, got a little mushy and ended up leaving the company with a stripper. But just after I left, the company's R&D department burst into flames, putting our hard work into practice. ”

"By the time I got the news, it was one o'clock the next afternoon, and I woke up from my hangover with the girl from last night in my arms. At this time, the phone rang, and the company called me and asked me what happened last night. When I arrived at the company at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I found out that the candles caused a fire during the celebration last night, which not only burned a lot of valuable information, but also almost injured people-—— a security guard was almost burned to death in the firefighting! ”

"God, you can imagine how I felt at that time." Jobs covered his mouth, choking a little.

After listening to Jobs's narration, Du Yongxiao felt that this guy's luck was really bad enough, and the right time, place and people were integrated, so that he was fired from HP.

This is really a "great task from heaven", and it will surely work their minds and muscles.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for this guy to establish "Apple" in the future.

"Although you resigned from HP, but according to your connections, as well as your personal ability, you can find a better company, why choose us Microsoft??" Du Yongxiao took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed one to Jobs: "Come, sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

Standing behind Du Yongxiao, Yan Xiong and Liu He glanced at each other, not understanding why Du Yongxiao was so interested in this decrepit guy?

"That's right," Jobs didn't hide it, and was straightforward, "those good companies basically have business dealings with HP, since I'm someone HP doesn't want, where do they dare to accept me?" ”

Jobs is not wrong about this, HP in this era is basically equivalent to the giant of the computer industry, and no company dares to challenge its majesty in the industry.

Since Jobs was fired by Hewlett-Packard, other companies will certainly not hire him in order to avoid suspicion.

"I understand what you mean, but in addition to those big companies, there are many small companies, which are much better than our new company!" Du Yongxiao lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "Why did you choose us?" ”

"This -——," Jobs gritted his teeth, "you Chinese have a saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox, I think you should understand what I mean!" ”

Du Yongxiao smiled and nodded, "I understand when you say this, you want to be a leader, not a clerk?" ”

"Yes!" Jobs affirmed, "And the salary cannot be less than three thousand dollars a month!" ”

It's definitely a lion gap.

It's normal for Jobs to be in a big company like Hewlett-Packard, more than 3,000 a month, but how many of these newly established small companies can give him that much salary?

"Excuse me, Mr. Jobs! There is no problem in terms of salary, but-" Du Yongxiao paused, "but our company is not short of leaders now, to be precise, our leadership has been determined!" ”

"Ah, that's it!" Jobs thought that Du Yongxiao was politely rejecting himself, and he mainly began to be unable to pay a high salary, "Since this is the case, then I bother!" ”

Jobs still had self-esteem, and seeing this, he began to pack his things and prepare to leave.

Seeing that Jobs packed up his things, Du Yongxiao said lightly: "Before you go, I have a suggestion I wonder if you can listen to it?" ”

"Uh, you say!" Jobs said casually.

"Although you can't be a senior executive at Microsoft, then-" Du Yongxiao slightly, "why don't you create a company?" ”

"Huh?"

Du Yongxiao bit his cigarette and looked at Jobs who was about to leave with a smile: "Is it okay to create an original company and serve as the president?" ”
