"Mr.li, what is your small goal?" Tian Shuai asked curiously.
Li Zetian smiled and stretched out a finger.
"10000?"
Li Zetian shook his head.
"100,000?"
Li Zetian shook his head again.
Tian Shuai's mouth widened, his face stunned, "It won't be 1 million, right?!" Tian Shuai said in disbelief.
Li Zetian smiled lightly, and said in a hurry: "I mean to make it 100 million yuan this year!!!"
After finishing speaking, Li Zetian drank the fragrant chicken soup, and then continued: "Our Apple-ll personal computer has a low configuration with 4kb memory and a high configuration with 48kb memory. The price of the low configuration Apple-ll is 1400 US dollars, and the high configuration The price of Apple-ll is $2,600, and the average price of the two is $2,000. Multiply this number by 50,000 units, which is exactly $100 million. But usually, users who buy the lower version will be a little more, so this year, I want to To make $100 million, at least 50,000 Apple-lls must be sold.”
After hearing this, Tian Shuai smiled wryly.
The total sales volume of Apple's first-generation computer Apple-l has only reached more than 12,000 units as of today. It is already May, and it is really difficult to sell 50,000 units of Apple-ll in half a year! ! !
No matter how surprised Tian Shuai was, Li Zetian drank the chicken soup spoon by spoon. In fact, Li Zetian himself is not sure, but he must have a goal! As Jack Ma once said in his previous life: "Dream always has to be there, in case it comes true!"
For Apple, small goals still have to be!
Otherwise, why do people always say that people must have lofty ideals and aspirations? Because of these, we will work hard for it!
Li Zetian finished the chicken soup, and then said to Tian Shuai: "Later, you will have someone make a placard and hang it in the company. , Li Zetian continued, "Add a line of small words on the placard 'Achieving the goal, giving out two million dollars in bonuses' to motivate everyone to work hard!"
Apple's total number of employees is close to 200, and each person can receive an average of 10,000 US dollars in bonuses, which is equivalent to seven or eight months' salary.
In fact, high-performing employees naturally get more!
Tian Shuai nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements after lunch."
When I went to work in the afternoon, Apple suddenly made a noise.
Li Zetian made the placards made by Tian Shuai have an effect, and everyone was talking and fighting!
"My God, Apple's salary is already higher than the average salary in the industry, and it has to pay a bonus of two million US dollars all of a sudden. The benefits are great! Let's work together to achieve the goal of 50,000 Apple-ll sales this year. !!!”
"Fighting!!!!"
"Fighting!!!!"
"… "
Li Zetian was leaning on a leather sofa in the office. At this moment, he was looking out through the glass window, and he couldn't help but say: "Sometimes, the most evil money is the strongest driving force!!!"

…
Near the end of May, Apple is about to hold a press conference.
However, a successful press conference is not simply a matter of holding a press conference. It is also necessary to choose the venue and invite guests, media, celebrities, etc. How to hold a unique press conference
Li Zetian decided to change the name of the Apple-ll product launch to the "First Global Developers Conference", not only to release Apple-ll products, but also to invite Microsoft, Sunbird and other third-party software development companies to participate in the event. The world promotes Excel, Microsoft-DOS, "China Box", "Pac-Man", etc...
No doubt, this is bound to catch the eye of the media and computer world! Just the name "Global Developers Conference" sounds awesome and extraordinary, and then there are so many companies participating, which instantly improves the conference by several grades, and at the same time makes the "Global Developers Conference" worthy of its name. Become a grand event in the technology circle! ! ! If Apple holds another "Global Developers Conference" in the future, it will definitely be full of responses!
In addition, it is necessary to choose a suitable venue. Li Zetian compares the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, which is high-end and elegant, with low-key luxury and connotation. And San Jose is the heart of Silicon Valley, Apple is in San Jose, and the McEnery Convention Center is just a few minutes' drive away.
Of course, Li Zetian had already arranged these things in advance.
The "Worldwide Developers Conference" has attracted much attention from the media. Before the official start, the news has already been published in the newspapers.
Competitors are eyeing Apple, and they are naturally the most concerned about Apple's situation.
Roberts, the CEO of MITS, scolded in a low voice: "Apple is too cunning. It is obviously the product launch of the Apple-ll personal computer, and it is like a grand event in the entire computer industry, attracting the attention of countless people!"
Roberts glanced at the invitation letter on the table and shook his head, feeling so tired...
At about 7:30 pm on May 30th, thousands of people came to the McEnery Convention Center, making it an unprecedented lively place!
At 8 o'clock, the "Global Developers Conference" officially started.
The host is Tian Shuai, and Li Zetian is very low-key, sitting in the audience.
The entire hall is full of technological colors and is very dazzling.
"Welcome to the first 'Global Developers Conference' held by Apple, I am Apple CEO Tian Shuai!"
Tian Shuai just finished introducing himself, and the audience suddenly burst into applause!
Ka Ka Ka!
Countless cameras were shooting wildly at Tian Shuai, which must have made headlines the next day.
Tian Shuai's heart beat a little faster, and his whole body was full of excitement. This time he experienced this kind of battle - standing on the world's best press conference stage, presiding over the most grand event in the technology circle. If he was at Exxon in the United States, he would I'm afraid there will never be such a chance.
If the Chinese want to get ahead in the United States, is it a "difficult" word
After a while, the applause stopped, and Tian Shuai continued: "The Global Developers Conference is a grand event that gathers third-party developers together with Apple's products as the core. At the conference, Apple will release the latest products— Apple-ll personal computers, as well as products from third-party software development companies! Without further ado, let us invite Zhang Yan, the head of Apple-ll development, to introduce Apple-ll to us with the warmest applause!!! "
Zhang Yan was dressed in a black suit and looked very handsome.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Yan!"
After Zhang Yan took the stage, he first bowed to everyone and introduced himself, and then said, "Apple-ll has made great improvements on the basis of Apple's first-generation computer Apple-l. First, let me introduce you to the use of Apple-ll. The microprocessor, everyone, please look at the big screen..." As soon as Zhang Yan's voice fell, the slide projector projected a picture on the screen.
"This is the 8-bit microprocessor Mos6502 jointly developed by Mos Technology and Apple. It supports a maximum memory of 64KB and is currently the most powerful and fastest CPU. Due to the relatively low requirements on the process technology, the The yield rate is surprisingly high, so its price is also very cheap, at only $40, only one-sixth or even lower than similar products from Motorola and Intel!"
As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience.
"Fuck, such a powerful microprocessor is only $40!!!"
"Motorola and Intel have met a strong opponent!"
"The Mos6502 processor is so cheap, doesn't it set off the personal computer revolution? There is no doubt that more companies will enter the personal computer industry in the future!!!"
"… "
"Everyone, please be quiet!!!" Zhang Yan had to shout loudly, Madd, can you let me speak properly...
