In the early days, Jobs was too irritable. He was a bad company CEO. He was kicked out by the board of directors in 1985. After 10 years of tempering and growth, he became one of the top CEOs in the world. But for now, Jobs can be an excellent product manager. His pursuit of perfection, superhuman energy and great innovation ability are exactly what Li Zetian hopes.
Right now, there is a ready-made talent who is suitable to be a CEO. Of course, Li Zetian wants to recruit him into his company. However, after the Wozniak incident, Li Zetian knew that it was not just by talking about his dreams that he could conquer the other side. He must come up with some real materials, and let the other side see the future development prospects! ! !
At first, Li Zetian thought that as long as he was a technical geek with a fanatical interest in personal computer development, when he heard that he wanted to develop a personal computer, he would definitely join in! However, Li Zetian was wrong. Wozniak liked HP's work very much, which made Li Zetian suddenly think that Wozniak was also reluctant to resign at the beginning of Apple's establishment, and after Steve Jobs and a shareholder at the time After much persuasion by Mike Mackula, he finally chose to resign.
Jobs and Wozniak grew up playing together, and it was hard to persuade Wozniak, let alone a stranger
However, if Wozniak was offered a salary to help him develop the Apple-l personal computer in his spare time, he should definitely be willing!
Li Zetian thought about it and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, if you don't take shares, just take your salary. From now on, you can't blame me for not giving you a chance. I've been to your house twice..."
On the second day of renting the garage, Li Zetian bought all the electronic components used in the development! At the same time, his luggage was also moved over, and he will sleep directly in the garage from now on. That night, Li Zetian came to Wozniak's door again.
Jingle Bell.
"It's you again!!" Wozniak's mother frowned.
"Yes, it's me again!" Li Zetian smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to persuade Steve to quit!"
"Come in!" said Wozniak's mother reluctantly.
"thanks… "
"Steve! Steve! That Chinese is coming to you again!"
After entering the house, Wozniak's mother shouted directly downstairs with a loud voice.
Soon, Steve Gary Wozniak came to the living room.
"Chronos," he said, raising his voice a few decibels, "Didn't I make it clear to you that you don't come to me, I won't change jobs!"
Steve's tone was very rude, but Li Zetian was not angry and smiled: "I am here this time, not to ask you to leave Hewlett-Packard. I want to ask, are you willing to make some extra money in your spare time? "
Wozniak was stunned for a while. He didn't need to leave Hewlett-Packard, and he could make money. Why not do it? Not to mention he was also interested in developing personal computers!
Li Zetian then continued: "I can offer you $20 an hour!"
After hearing this, Wozniak was shocked. He now only makes $80 a day at HP, which is already a great deal!
"Mr. Li, are you sure you'll pay me $20 an hour?" Who doesn't like money? Wozniak also had a falling out with Jobs because of money. Now that he heard that the other party was willing to pay him such a high salary, Immediately, the name changed.
"certainly!"
"I can come to you for 3 hours at night after get off work at HP, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays!"
"No problem! Although the company headquarters is not very big, if you are tired from working all night at night, you can just sleep there and rest." Li Zetian smiled, and specifically said all night, encouraging him to work all night, and then go to Hewlett-Packard to doze off during the day. , I came to the garage at night, and my energy became strong again.
"Then, when will the salary be paid?"
"I'll settle the bill for you on Sunday night, what do you think?"
"no problem!"
"This is a contract," Li Zetian took out a contract document from the bag he was carrying.
Just as Wozniak was about to reach out to pick it up, Li Zetian took the contract away and said, "Don't worry, before signing the contract, you must sign a non-disclosure agreement, and you can't do anything about working here with me. Tell anyone!" After speaking, Li Zetian took out another document and placed it on the table.
Wozniak nodded and said, "No problem, don't worry, I am a person with professional ethics and will not reveal your company's business secrets!"
After speaking, Wozniak picked up the pen, read the non-disclosure agreement a little, and then signed his name.
Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction, handed the labor contract to him, and said, "You first see if there are any problems with the contract. If not, you can sign it!"
Wozniak read the contract over and over again, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed the name.
The contract is in duplicate, and the two take one copy each.
Li Zetian asked, "When can you come to work?"
"Today is Sunday, I'll prepare, I can go to work there tomorrow night... By the way, I still don't know where the company is?"
Li Zetian said the address and phone number of the garage, and Wozniak hurriedly wrote them down in his notebook.
"Then I'll say goodbye!"
"I'll send it to you!"
Wozniak sent Li Zetian to the gate. When he turned around, his mother was watching him, "He's here again to persuade you to change jobs?" Mrs. Wozniak asked.
"No, just let me do things for him in my free time for $20 an hour!!!"
"Such a high salary!!!" Mrs. Wozniak was surprised when she heard the words, and murmured, "If this is the case, Chronos Lee is still a good person. If he comes to our house next time, he can let him Try the cake I bake!"
Years later, Mrs. Wozniak regretted that 10% of Apple and $20 an hour were put before her son Steve, who chose the latter, and she, a mother, It played a big role in this. She insisted that her son not leave HP or go to Apple...
