After Zhang Yan became a full-time employee of Apple, the research progress of the entire project accelerated a lot.
A few days later, Tian Shuai learned that Zhang Yan had quit his job at HP and joined Apple instead. He couldn't help being stunned!
Many engineers sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into Hewlett-Packard, but Zhang Yan actually resigned voluntarily...
"Tian Shuai, why don't you come to Apple too! I believe that Apple will be a company with great potential for development!" Zhang Yan lobbied his good friend with a smile. He knew very well that the Stanford MBA graduate Tian Shuai is an indispensable management talent in the development and growth of an enterprise. With him at the helm, Apple will be more likely to succeed! ! !
However, at this stage, Apple has only two regular employees and one part-time employee, and Tian Shuai is not very useful in it, so he shook his head and refused with a smile: "Hehe, Apple is still so small now. , I have no use for going, let's talk about it when you need me!"
"Definitely!" At this time, Li Zetian walked over from not far away and said very confidently.
Tian Shuai was noncommittal, neither saying yes, nor saying no, he smiled, "Then I wish Apple a success! Okay, I'm off to work, see you two!"
Zhang Yan watched Tian Shuai get into a Ford car and leave, and sighed slightly.
Li Zetian smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "He is not from our computer field, so of course he doesn't understand how valuable what we are developing now! Let's go, work hard, and when we succeed, we will definitely make Let him impress!!! By then, it will not be too late to invite him to join our company. In addition, he is right on one point, we really don't need him now! Only when a talent is placed in a suitable place can he shine. Shining, what do you think?"
"Well, you're right!!!" Zhang Yan nodded and replied.
Li Zetian actually considered more issues. If he asked Tian Shuai to join Apple, how much salary and options would he have to give him, when he thought that his money was running out, he immediately dismissed the idea of inviting Tian Shuai to join Apple.
"Dream is a trip destined to be lonely. Since you have chosen this road, don't worry about the journey!"
"Let's go, let's start the life of a lonely engineer!!!"
Li Zetian said to himself very optimistically.

…
Unlike MIST, which crossed the river by feeling the stones, Apple developed according to the drawings designed by Li Zetian, and took many detours.
On August 15th, after more than two months of overtime development, so far, the entire project has been completed 4/5. In fact, there are only so many components in a computer, such as processor, memory, power supply, motherboard, bus, etc., they are combined into a computer. The main work of Li Zetian and others is to develop the motherboard, power supply, and bus, so that the various accessories of the computer can run perfectly. To tell the truth, if it were not for Li Zetian's strict requirements and pursuit of perfection, he would have to maximize the performance of the computer while reducing the cost as much as possible. Otherwise, the Apple-l personal computer would have been produced long ago.
At noon that day, with the scorching sun high, Li Zetian was doing research in the garage as usual.
"Wozniak will only come at night. Zhang Yan's mother was sick, so he was given two days to take care of his mother. It was a hot day. I was the only one working in the garage. It's really hard to be a boss... Apple- The development of the l-model personal computer is going well. At this time, I should start thinking about production, sales, publicity and other issues! 'The fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys', publicity is particularly important, if others don't know there is an Apple-l this Computer, why did you come to buy it?"
While Li Zetian was thinking about the problem, a very familiar voice suddenly came from outside: "Li Zetian!!!"
Li Zetian turned his head to look and saw Yu Jingqiu wearing a blue plaid shirt and dragging a large silver suitcase standing at the door of the garage! Li Zetian quickly put down the work in his hand and went up to meet him.
"Why are you here?" Li Zetian asked Yu Jingqiu while reaching out his hand, gently wiping the sweat from her face, "And you didn't let me know when you came, so I can pick you up! !" Li Zetian said with a slightly reproachful tone.
Yu Jingqiu smiled and said, "I want to give you a surprise!"
As she said, she walked into the garage, "This is Apple's headquarters!" Li Zetian said something about Apple while talking on the phone with Yu Jingqiu.
Li Zetian said quite proudly: "This is the most typical garage culture! Hewlett-Packard, Disney, and Ford all developed from a small garage, and we Apple will be the same as them. I believe, Under my leadership, Apple will one day become the most impressive company in the world, and then I will build the most amazing headquarters in the world!!!"
"I just like that you are full of confidence!!!" Yu Jingqiu kissed Li Zetian's face.
"Did you come here right after getting off the plane?" Li Zetian asked.
Yu Jingqiu nodded and said, "Well, yes. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I was eager to see you, so I just dragged my suitcase over here."
Li Zetian was quite moved when he heard the words.
"Sit down first, rest for a while, and I'll pour you a glass of water!"
"Um!"
While pouring water, Li Zetian thought, living in the garage, he can't ask Yu Jingqiu to also live in the garage, and take her to the hotel to open a room later.
After sitting down, Yu Jingqiu looked at the garage curiously, then pointed to a machine and asked, "Is this the Apple-1 model personal computer?"
Li Zetian handed her the water glass and said, "That's right! However, it has not been completely completed, and a complete prototype will be produced at the beginning of next month! In addition, we have to design a beautiful box for it, so that it will attract people's attention. More users are buying!"
Yu Jingqiu asked: "Apple-l will be sold after the successful development. Have you looked for accessories suppliers, computer manufacturers and distributors?"
"These are exactly what I'm going to do next!"
"Then I came just in time? I can help you!!!" Yu Jingqiu laughed.
Li Zetian didn't take Yu Jingqiu as an outsider, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, but the school starts in September, you have to go back and study hard!!!"
"Okay, I promise you!"
"Well, it's only the 15th, you can still stay here for 15 days," Li Zetian paused and asked, "Have you rested? After you rest, let's go to the hotel and find you a place to stay..."
