Apple's mobile phone project started very early, as the so-called "10 years of sharpening a sword", well, Apple's mobile phone project has not been ten years, but it has been a long time. It started in 1985, and now There are also 8 years, accumulated a large number of mobile phone technology patents. The reason why the new phone was not released so early is because the timing was wrong, the second-generation communication era has not yet developed, and Motorola was still monopolizing the market before. Li Zetian didn't want to startle the snake, but also wanted to let Apple accumulate more power.
Jobs then took out a cell phone from his office drawer.
Li Zetian's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the phone, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. Compared with Motorola's "brick" mobile phones, this phone is indeed small and exquisite, but the design is simple and mediocre, and it is completely inconsistent with Apple's design level. Anyway, it took 8 years of hard work, wouldn't you just develop this kind of play for me
Jobs explained with a smile: "Mr. Li, this is not a mobile phone from Apple, but a mobile phone from Nokia!"
"Nokia phone!" Li Zetian was slightly surprised when he heard the words. The name of Nokia is like thunder, how could Li Zetian not hear it. He couldn't help but glance at the phone, except that it was small and easy to carry, there was nothing outstanding about it.
Jobs continued: "This is the first GSM phone that Nokia has ever produced, a transformational work - the Nokia 1011. The previous models were all analog phones, similar to Motorola's brick phones. The Nokia 1011 was officially launched in December last year in Europe. It has made a lot of achievements. As of today, it has sold more than 200,000 units. Motorola is still obsessed with analog mobile phones. I don't think Motorola should be afraid. Apple's main competitor in the future may be Nokia. company!"
Incredible, Steve Jobs!
You even guessed it!
There was a hint of shock in Li Zetian's eyes.
"But..." Jobs laughed and said very confidently, "Nokia will not be our Apple's opponent! Not to mention that the Nokia 1011 cannot be compared with Apple's mobile phone in terms of appearance, and other aspects are far inferior. This Nokia 1011 Mobile phones can only be used to make calls. And our mobile phones developed by Apple will also add functions such as software, email, ringtones, contacts and call records.”
Li Zetian nodded, Nokia 1011 is the first mobile phone launched by Nokia, and it is still in the process of exploration. However, the mobile phone developed by Apple has a clear research and development direction. It is easy to distinguish which is better and which is worse.
However, Nokia should not be underestimated. The battle in the future is still long. Apple may not be able to have the last laugh. It must be vigilant at all times. Li Zetian is still very happy that there is a competitor of Nokia. As the saying goes, there is competition and pressure to make progress. After all, his energy cannot always be placed on one company.
"After the success of Nokia 1011, Nokia will definitely develop a new generation of mobile phones non-stop, and you have to hurry up." Li Zetian said.
"Well, I will urge those engineers to speed up the research and development!" Jobs nodded in response.
In fact, the accumulated technology has long been enough to develop the iPhone. However, Li Zetian demanded the pursuit of excellence and the development of thinner and lighter mobile phones with longer standby time, which is more demanding. At first, when many engineers heard Li Zetian's request, they almost believed that it was impossible to achieve with the current technology. But in the end, under the management of Steve Jobs, which was almost "Jagged + Roar", he overcame difficulties one by one.
Hehe, but Li Zetian knew that Jobs's "notoriety" resounded throughout Apple, and many people were afraid of him.
"By the way, how is the development of the Safari browser?" Li Zetian asked at this time, thinking that Apple was still developing its own browser.
"Because of your design materials as a reference, the development progress of the Safari browser project has reached two-thirds, and I expect it to be released in May this year!" Jobs replied.
Hearing this, Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction. In addition to playing games, netizens browse the web. A good browser is naturally very important, which can promote the sales of Apple's computers. Li Zetian regards Apple as his own private company, and the better the company develops, the happier he is. He holds more than 80% of Apple's shares, and the rest of the shares are given to Jobs, Wozniak and the company's outstanding talents.
Microsoft and Apple are now facing each other with the tip of the needle. The Windows system and the macOS system are extremely competitive. Li Zetian still prefers Apple in his heart. Who told Li Zetian to hold more shares in Apple
"Mr. Li, when it comes to the Safari browser, I suddenly have a proposal!" Jobs looked at Li Zetian and said.
"What proposal, let's talk about it." Li Zetian said.
"I plan to let Apple develop its own office software. Although Microsoft's office software is very good, only the office software developed by us is the most suitable for Apple's operating system!"
Li Zetian was slightly startled, oh, he was negligent!
Apple no longer competes with Microsoft in office software. On the one hand, it is because Microsoft office software is really good. On the other hand, it may be because of Li Zetian. After all, Microsoft office software is designed by him. If Apple wants to develop office software, does it not want to challenge his authority. Of course, there is another reason, that is, the competition between Apple and Microsoft has reached a fever pitch. At this time, Jobs proposed to develop Apple's own office software, the main purpose is to take the initiative and no longer be subject to Microsoft.
"Okay, I approve your proposal!" Li Zetian nodded in agreement.
Jobs's face was filled with joy, and he thought to himself, Apple's weight in Mr. Li's heart is still higher than Microsoft's!
"Mr. Li, you see that you helped Microsoft to design the office suite, then Apple's office software..." Jobs looked directly at Li Zetian and said.
When Li Zetian heard the words, he couldn't help laughing and laughing. This Jobs was so embarrassed to ask me to help Apple design office software... However, helping Apple is also helping himself. Fortunately, he used Apple computers in his previous life, so he was a little impressed with Pages office software.
"Okay, I also help Apple design!!" Li Zetian nodded again.
Jobs smiled awkwardly: "Haha, then please trouble Mr. Li to help us with software design."
In fact, Jobs can't do anything either. Microsoft's three office suites, Word, Excel, and PPT, are too powerful. If Apple were to design and develop it themselves, Jobs would not have the slightest confidence. The bell has to be tied to the bell, and Jobs believed that only a genius like Li Zetian could design new software to fight it.
…
LY Foundation has developed into the largest foundation in the world, with hundreds of billions of dollars in funds and various huge resources, such as Koronos Hospital, LY Orphanage, LY Hope Primary and Secondary School,
LY The Nature Conservancy!
Koronos Hospital has been working closely with gene technology companies, and with the support of the LY Foundation, Koronos Hospital has become one of the top hospitals in the world. Countless high-tech equipment and advanced medicines can be seen here , in addition to a super-first-class laboratory.
After the great success of Koronos Hospital, Koronos Medical College was established on this basis to train more medical talents and replenish new blood for Koronos Hospital. The LY Foundation plans to build a branch hospital in the future. You know, operating a hospital is very profitable. Although Cronos Hospital is a non-profit organization, it can make money to subsidize itself and spend more money to invest in medical research.
As for LY orphanages, there are more than 2,000 all over the world, and more than 100,000 orphans are adopted every year. It is embarrassing that most of the children are more or less disabled, and some are healthy, but the number is not large. many. However, some can still be cured, and the LY Foundation is willing to spend money to treat them. These bitter children mature earlier than normal children, and are also very hardworking. Many of them even joined Li Zetian's company when they grew up.
Tonight this charity gala is to raise funds for the vast number of orphans.
In addition to the company under Li Zetian's name, which donates annually to reduce taxes, the LY Foundation also raises funds externally. With donations from companies under Li Zetian's own name alone, the LY Foundation has not grown to the scale it is today.
Of course, the LY Foundation will not sit idle, and the foundation's money will be used for investment. For example, the Japanese stock market crash and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the LY Foundation has all intervened.
8 pm, Hilton Hotel.
LY Foundation invited celebrities from all walks of life to participate. At this time, the hotel was very lively and celebrities or rich people could be seen at any time.
A silver elongated Rolls-Royce drove towards the hotel before stopping at the door.
For a time, everyone's eyes were attracted, and countless reporters raised their cameras to shoot.
As soon as the car door opened, the flashing light suddenly clicked.
Li Zetian was wearing a black suit and Yu Jingqiu was wearing a long white dress, and got out of the car one after another.
Afterwards, Li Zetian took Yu Jingqiu's arm and walked into the hotel.
"There are a lot of people!" Li Zetian looked around and said.
Yu Jingqiu smiled slightly and said: "All the wealthy people in the United States, or famous people who are keen on charity have come here, of course there are many people."
"Haha, isn't it going to raise a lot of money tonight!" Li Zetian laughed.
"Tonight, you want to donate a little more, you know?!" Yu Jingqiu hugged Li Zetian's arm and smiled charmingly.
"I know, I don't support you, who supports you?" Li Zetian looked at Yu Jingqiu's beautiful face and charged Qiushui eyes, and immediately assured him.
"Well, that's good!" Yu Jingqiu nodded to Li Zetian with a smile.
When the people at the party saw Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu, they stepped forward to say hello.
Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu nodded slightly.
Soon, Li Zetian saw Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
"Mr. Li, you are here too!" Bill Gates said with a smile.
"Well, this charity gala was organized by the LY Foundation, let me support it!" Li Zetian nodded and said, then turned to look at Warren Buffett and said hello, "Mr. Buffett, long time no see!"
"Yeah, it's been a few years." When Buffett looked at Li Zetian, he was very emotional. After so many years, that young man has become mature, and what he has achieved can only be compared to others. Buffett feels that he has developed Berkshire Hathaway very well, and it can even be said that he has created a legend, and he has also won the title of "stock god", but compared with Li Zetian, he feels that he Nothing anymore.
"Congratulations, Mr. Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway is now a huge success, with a market value of more than $50 billion. It's all inseparable from your strategizing and extraordinary vision! In the name of the stock god , well-deserved reputation!"
Buffett blushed slightly, shook his head and said, "In front of you, I don't dare to be a stock god, you are the real stock god!"
Li Zetian said modestly: "My understanding of the financial market is completely a layman. Although there are some successful cases, they are all blind cats and dead mice! You know, I'm just an engineer who studies computers, so I understand finance..."
This Nima is too humble.
Buffett was stunned.
"By the way, Mr. Li, you invested in Berkshire Hathaway back then, and you are also one of the company's major shareholders. Naturally, you have the responsibility to contribute to the company's development. Do you think there are any good investment projects now? Let me see if I can meet the dead mouse again!" Buffett suddenly thought of something at this moment, and his eyes flashed a gleam of light, and then asked.
Li Zetian was stunned for a while, then he smiled bitterly.
"This, we will talk about it later, the charity party is about to start." Li Zetian said.
"Okay, let's talk about it later, that's it!" Buffett said.
Bill Gates smiled and said: "Chronos, it seems that Buffett has decided on you and wants to get some good projects from you! Hehe, everyone who sees it has a share, and I also want to invest, you two. how do you feel?"
"Okay, no problem, of course we welcome!" Before Li Zetian could answer, Buffett said first.
Li Zetian was speechless.
He himself hadn't thought of any projects, but these two have already started talking about investment.
Well, with his brain, it is not difficult to think of a few profitable projects.
At this time, Yu Jingqiu beckoned to Li Zetian, motioning him to go over.
Li Zetian bid farewell to Bill Gates and Buffett.
At this time, the surrounding lights dimmed, only the lights on the stage were still on, the scene immediately became quiet, and everyone sat down following the seats. After a while, Yu Jingqiu and Li Zetian came to the stage.
"Welcome to this charity party. I am Mrs Li, the chairman of the LY Foundation. Everyone knows who this person is next to me, so I don't need to introduce you!" Yu Jingqiu laughed.
