The Great Power of Times

Chapter 36: Apple-l developed successfully!

The hotel is open~~ The room is not unexpectedly about to happen, those who want to be crooked can go to the wall~~~

At noon, Li Zetian took Yu Jingqiu to a nearby safe and comfortable hotel to stay, and then ate a hearty lunch in the hotel restaurant. Later, the two went to visit the scenic spots in San Jose, and Li Zetian's inner tension was released!

In the evening, the two returned to the garage. Not long after, Wozniak also came.

Li Zetian introduced: "This is my girlfriend, her Chinese name is Yu Jingqiu, and her English name is Susan Yu!"

Yu Jingqiu smiled and took the initiative to greet Wozniak: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Steve Gary Wozniak!"

"Hello, Susan Yu, nice to meet you, you can just call me Steve or Wozniak!" Wozniak said.

Li Zetian is used to calling him "Wozniak" because Jobs' full name is Steve Jobs, both of them are Steve, and they are both co-founders of Apple, so it's easy to be called a jerk. In fact, in informal situations, you can call it whatever you want, as long as it goes smoothly. The surname Wozniak is a bit of a mouthful, so Zhang Yan usually calls Steve Gary Wozniak "Steve".

"Well, okay, Steve!" Yu Jingqiu nodded and smiled.

Li Zetian said to Wozniak: "The development of the Apple-l model personal computer has been completed for 4/5, and the final 1/5 will be handed over to you and Zhang Yan. I will now design the shape of the Apple-l model first. Well, choose a cooperative manufacturer and let them produce a few samples. If something is to be sold, it must have good packaging!" At this time, Li Zetian turned to look at Yu Jingqiu, "Jingqiu, you can check it out. Look up the phone book and ask, which factory in San Jose has excellent workmanship and is not expensive!" The phone book is the most frequently read guide book in the United States. When Jobs was 12 years old, he found the number of the HP boss in the phone book, and then I called him to ask for parts, and by the way, I got a summer internship opportunity. A list of all the companies in San Jose can be found in the phone book, and even a breakdown of what the companies do, it's not too difficult to find.

"What material should I use for the main computer case and monitor?" Yu Jingqiu asked.

"Galvanized steel sheet! It looks like a high-end atmosphere!!!"

"But the cost will be much higher than plastic materials!" Yu Jingqiu said.

"We sell high-end goods!"

"OK, all right."

Li Zetian has already designed the appearance of the Apple-l model countless times in his mind, so his drawing speed is very fast, and he can complete it in one night. The appearance is simple, elegant, beautiful and ergonomic. The main box is a very delicate cuboid. The box has only the power button, restart button and disk drive. A small display is placed on the chassis, which supports external keyboards, printers and other external devices. Of course, the interior is also designed with an all-metal structure. The hardware distribution is quite distinct and highly integrated. For computer enthusiasts who like to disassemble, it is a pleasing feeling.

The next day, Yu Jingqiu contacted a factory and asked them to make 5 complete machine casings according to Li Zetian's design drawings.

On August 24th, 5 complete machine casings were sent to Apple.

That night, the development of the entire project was just completed successfully!

So, Wozniak and Zhang Yan excitedly assembled the various parts of the computer.

Looking at the computer in front of them that looks like a work of art, the two were extremely excited.

"Oh, it's so cool!"

"yes!"

Compared with today's very bulky computers, the Apple-l model personal computer is small and delicate, and it is easy to like at a glance.

At this moment, Li Zetian finally breathed a sigh of relief. After so many days of hard work, he finally completed Apple-l. He has applied for dozens of patents just involved, and he is now embarrassed.

The product came out, it is time to find a way to sell it.

The packaging is beautiful, the performance is superior, and it also carries the most popular BASIC language. The only disadvantage is probably its price. Li Zetian set the retail price at 2,000 US dollars, but this price is compared with those of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars. For small computers and large computers, it is already very cheap!

As if he knew what Li Zetian was thinking, Yu Jingqiu came over, put his arms around his neck, and said, "Are you thinking about how to sell Apple-l?"

"Yes, do you have any good advice?"

"The most urgent task is to release Apple-l to the media as soon as possible before MITS, so as to attract widespread attention!!!"

Li Zetian couldn't help laughing, and Yu Jingqiu went to think of it with him.

"Jingqiu, do you understand the American media?"

Yu Jingqiu nodded and said, "I have collected some electronic and computer newspapers and magazines during this time!"

It's really a good helper, everything has been thought out!

Li Zetian couldn't help but kissed Yu Jingqiu's little lips and said with a smile: "Let's set off with Apple-l tomorrow, and every media will go there! I think there will always be media interested in Apple-l! !!"

"Um!"

"Zhang Yan, drive your car early tomorrow morning, let's go to major media to promote our Apple-l personal computer!"

"Okay, boss!!!"

Hearing the word "boss", Li Zetian couldn't help shaking his head, returning to the boss? Brother, I have no car and no savings. You are richer than me...

Li Zetian turned his head to look at Wozniak and asked, "Wozniak, at this moment, are you still unwilling to join Apple? It won't be long before we develop the Apple-ll model personal computer. Now, I hope you can join in this project, and join as an official employee of Apple!!!"

Wozniak hesitated, but again refused Li Zetian's invitation.

However, Li Zetian was overjoyed. In the past, when he persuaded him to join Apple, he always refused outright, but now he is hesitant, which means that the time to persuade him to join Apple is not far away!

That night, everyone opened champagne to celebrate, and they didn't rest until late.

Yu Jingqiu was particularly invincible tonight, and got drunk without a few glasses of wine. Li Zetian sent her to the hotel room.

Then put it on the bed, take off your shoes, take off your coat.

Finally cover with the quilt.

Li Zetian kissed Yu Jingqiu's forehead, "Don't drink so much alcohol if you're not drinking enough..." There was a hint of reproach in her distress.

"Good night, have a good night's sleep, I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning!"

Li Zetian got up and left Yu Jingqiu's room.

boom!

The door is closed.

Yu Jingqiu's cheeks were flushed, charming and moving, she slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the door, softly laughed and scolded: "Everyone is like this, he doesn't know yet, what a big fool..."

Does Li Zetian really not know that Yu Jingqiu is pretending to be drunk? He obviously knew that as soon as he walked out of the gate of Yu Jingqiu, his heartbeat was pounding, but now was not the best time for Yu Jingqiu's body.

In the movie "Journey to the West", Fairy Zixia has such a line: "My love is a hero of the world, and one day he will wear a golden armor and a holy robe and ride a colorful cloud to marry me!"

In Li Zetian's heart, Yu Jingqiu is his Zixia Fairy, and one day, he will be married to Jingqiu!
