The next day, the world's major media overwhelmingly reported Li Zetian's return to Apple.
The Wall Street Journal is full of confidence in Li Zetian, and the headline on the headline reads: "Chronos·li returns to Apple, and the world's major computer manufacturers tremble!!!"
Of course, there are also media and newspapers who are not very optimistic about Li Zetian's ability to develop Apple after returning to Apple.
For example, Japan's "Daily News" reported: "In the Walkman market, Sony's market share of Walkman has surpassed that of Apple's Walkman. With Sony's development and design capabilities, Apple is not its opponent at all! In the personal computer market, which is now the world of compatible machines, Apple is outnumbered and obviously not their opponent. Even though chronos·li is very talented, it still cannot save the terminally ill Apple!"
People all over the world are also talking about it, making various conjectures about what happened after Li Zetian returned to Apple.
"Apple has fallen in recent years, but the return of chronos·li will definitely make Apple stand up again!"
"Apple will be able to develop new products after the return of apple-l, apple-ll, walkos·li!"
"Chronos li is so handsome, he is a fascinating man!"
"… "
…
Apple CEO Vincent Gay then took the initiative to submit his resignation to Li Zetian.
During his tenure in office, he was mediocre, and even nearly bankrupted Apple. Although the main responsibility lies with Thomas Rockefeller, he also has an inescapable responsibility. Taking the blame and resigning is the best and smartest choice. If Li Zetian was expelled, it would be even more embarrassing.
Of course Li Zetian approved. He was looking for a CEO who could help Apple's rise. Vincent Guy obviously didn't have this ability.
Right now, Sun Microsystems is full of talents, and Li Zetian wants to dig Jobs and Wozniak to Apple.
So, after Vincent Gay resigned, Li Zetian asked Jobs and Wozniak out.
The news of Vincent Guy's resignation has also been full of storms. Li Zetian asked them out at this time, and they could roughly guess what the situation was.
When Jobs and Wozniak came to Li Zetian's villa, Li Zetian asked bluntly, "Jobs, Wozniak, are you willing to come to Apple?"
Jobs always wanted to go back to Apple, so he nodded immediately: "I do!"
Wozniak looked at Jobs and nodded, "I would too!"
"Very good," Li Zetian laughed, "Jobs will be CEO and Wozniak will be Apple's chief scientist!"
In the study, Dongfang Yuqin poured three glasses of water for them, and then sat on a chair beside Li Zetian.
Li Zetian opened his mouth and said, "I think you all know about Apple's current situation. I want to hear your opinions on how to develop Apple again!"
Wozniak was good at development, but if he was talking about managing and developing a company, it would not work. He looked at Jobs again and asked Jobs to speak.
Before Jobs came, he naturally thought about this question, and then he answered without hesitation: "If I were the CEO, I would cut off most of Apple's projects and lay off a large number of people, leaving only personal computers and software. Development and walkman!"
When Wozniak heard the words, his expression was startled. If Steve Jobs said that, Apple would suffer heavy losses. Many projects would be done in vain, and it would only hurt Apple's muscles and bones. If he were the CEO, he would never dare to do that. Wozniak couldn't help worrying about Jobs at this time. He glanced at Li Zetian secretly. Seeing that his face was expressionless, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighed in his heart. Jobs was afraid that he had no hope of returning to Apple...
However, things are often not what you imagined!
Wozniak was stunned when Li Zetian smiled and said to Jobs, "You and I think the same way"...
Seeing Wozniak's confused look, Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Many of Apple's projects are not profitable, or they can only make a small amount of money. It's better to concentrate on developing PCs and walkman. Apple needs a drastic makeover now, and what Jobs said is exactly what I want!"
Wozniak didn't understand very well, but he also felt that what Li Zetian said made sense.
Li Zetian turned his head to look at Dongfang Yuqin and said, "Dongfang Yuqin, take out Apple's documents."
"OK."
Dongfang Yuqin got up and walked to a safe, took out the key, opened the door, and took out a document inside. Afterwards, Dongfang Yuqin walked to the copier and made two copies.
Li Zetian said: "In recent days, I have sorted out Apple's future development direction and written it on these documents."
Dongfang Yuqin gave Jobs and Wozniak a document at this time, and the two read it while listening to Li Zetian.
The title of the home page instantly caught the eyes of Jobs and Wozniak, and couldn't help but say: "CD Walkman!!!"
Li Zetian said: "Yes, the tape Walkman is outdated, and Apple wants to develop the CD Walkman! Apple's Seagate Technology and Philips have developed CDs in total, but Apple obviously doesn't know how to make good use of it!"
Li Zetian smiled, took a sip of water, and continued, "CD is easy to use, and its storage capacity, sound quality, transportation, service life and other aspects are better than tapes. It will be a matter of time before CDs replace tapes, and even they can replace black. vinyl!!!"
CD records can also replace vinyl records, I am afraid that no one will believe it? Both Jobs and Wozniak were surprised to hear this!
Li Zetian said confidently: "CD records are different from the hissing and beeping sound of vinyl records. They give people a crystal clear music experience, and the sound quality is very good. The cost of producing CDs is estimated to be that of plastic. A few cents, and the transportation is small, and it can be sold for tens of dollars. In addition, the CD record will not be jumped, and the amazing profit and consumer acceptance and affordability are obvious.
However, the mass production of light-pressed copper molds with vinyl has already cost a few dollars per disc. This does not count the cost of polyethylene raw materials, and transportation is heavy and takes up space, and it is easy to lose jumpers if it is not stored well. , and also sell dozens of dollars, I am afraid that the profit is not big and consumers are not willing to buy. In contrast, vinyl will inevitably be replaced by CDs in the mainstream market! "
Jobs nodded and said: "Producing CD records is obviously more profitable than vinyl records. Profit-driven, the replacement of vinyl by CDs is an inevitable choice under market competition! Apple produces CD Walkmans, which can be made smaller and more compact. Exquisite, the sound quality is far better than the tape Walkman, and the CD stores many songs at the same time, it will definitely be very popular!!!"
Li Zetian nodded: "Yes! In addition, CDs are not just audio CDs! You can notice that a 7-inch (about 12 cm) CD can store an astounding 6.3 billion bytes of information! If you say Put it on a computer, what kind of amazing sparks do you think will happen?!"
When Jobs and Wozniak heard this, their eyes instantly brightened and their expressions were full of excitement!
Wozniak said excitedly: "mr·li, we can redefine the use of cd as a medium for computer software. Later software will no longer use tapes with small storage capacity, but cdroms. , CD-ROM drive!!!
In this way, the software is not only stored for a long time, but also software developers can develop more powerful software! The previous software was only a few kilobytes, and the current software is several megabytes. In the future, the software will only get bigger and bigger. The capacity of a tape is not enough!
There's no doubt that cdroms will be hugely popular, and if Apple's computers were the first to have CD-ROMs installed, our computers would be very popular! "
Wozniak's face is full of excitement, and he can't wait to start studying cdrom now.
"Don't worry, look down!" Li Zetian reminded them to continue reading the document.
Jobs and Wozniak nodded and looked down. Soon, they saw the personal computer article.
When they saw the picture above, the two couldn't help but stunned.
"This is a desk lamp computer?!" Wozniak said in surprise.
Li Zetian smiled and said, "That's right! To be precise, it should be called a desk lamp-type all-in-one machine! Below is a white round box, which is equivalent to the host of a computer. The display is a 9-inch lcd, which uses a swingable arm. Positioning! The whole looks like a white desk lamp!"
"mr·li, your design is so cool, full of fashion and technology, I just want to buy one just by looking at the picture!" Wozniak said.
Jobs also nodded again and again: "The exquisite design, once launched, will surely shock everyone!"
"This is the first product in the ima series, so it's called the ima-g1 all-in-one machine! From now on, Apple's computer products will only develop desktop all-in-one machines and notebooks, and concentrate on what we focus on. We are the first One!!!" Li Zetian said.
ps: I present the first update. There are at least 2 more updates today. As for whether there will be a fifth update today, I don’t know, hehe…
