When the press conference came to the question-and-answer session, the reporters in the audience scrambled to ask questions.
One by one, it was like going crazy.
"Mr. Tian, when will Apple-ll be officially released?"
"Mr. Tian, what's the price of Apple-ll?"
"Mr. Tian, what is Apple's sales expectation for Apple-ll?"
"Mr. Tian, do other companies need conditions to develop expansion cards for Apple-ll?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Gates, how much is a copy of Excel spreadsheet office software?"
"Is Sunbird's "China Cube" a game developed by the Chinese?!"
"… "
For a time, the entire venue was filled with the hoarse shouts of reporters. Because the voice was too low, it was immediately drowned out by the voices of other reporters. It was necessary to shout loudly!
Roberts, the CEO of MITS, couldn't bear to look directly, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Intel's Gordon Moore's face is very ugly. Apple-ll uses Mos6502 and abandons Intel8080. This undoubtedly caused a heavy blow to Intel, especially when Apple-ll is so popular, even media reporters crazy…
Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari and known as the "Father of Video Games", was silent at the moment, thinking about "China Cube", "Donkey Kong", "Pac-Man" and "Pac-Man" repeatedly in his mind. The four games of "Super Arkanoid", each game is not only fun to do, but also very simple and easy to use, and it is likely to be popular in the entire game industry! ! !
"The Sunbird Company is not well-known, and I can't think of four such fun games in a row!!!" Nolan Bushnell murmured, and the Sunbird Company aroused his great attention. He seemed to feel a feeling of "the dark cloud is pressing down on the city and the city is about to be destroyed"!
Tian Shuai said loudly into the microphone: "Don't worry everyone, we have time, we will answer the reporters' questions one by one!"
After speaking, Tian Shuai wiped his sweat, Nima, these reporters are too enthusiastic, and the US President's press conference has not seen them so excited! ! !
Afterwards, Tian Shuai, Bill Gates and others spent more than half an hour answering questions from reporters.
"First of all, Apple-ll will be released globally on June 1st. It is especially worth mentioning that Apple has established a flagship store in downtown Los Angeles, where you can experience all the features of Apple-ll in person, including Using Excel Spreadsheets and Games…”
"Secondly, Apple-ll has a low-end computer with 4kb memory and a high-end computer with 48kb memory, the price is 1400 US dollars and 2600 US dollars respectively. The price of the Excel software developed by Microsoft is 200 US dollars, and the price of the four game software developed by Sunbird is It's all $100!"
"… "
After answering the reporter's question, Tian Shuai announced the end of the "Global Developers Conference". However, many people did not leave, and came to visit Tian Shuai one by one, hoping to cooperate with Apple.
Li Zetian watched Tian Shuai busy coping with the crowd, and thought, fortunately, he kept a low profile, so he didn't have to suffer this crime...
Just when Li Zetian was complacent, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Congratulations, Chronos, Apple-ll a big success!"
Li Zetian turned his head and saw that it was Thomas Rockefeller.
"Oh, it's you, Mr. Thomas Rockefeller! Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you here!!" Li Zetian greeted politely.
Thomas Rockefeller said with a hint of emotion: "I didn't expect the Apple-ll computer to be so powerful. It won't take long for it to become popular in the United States! It seems that I have underestimated Apple before. I should have raised my stake and invested in Apple!"
Li Zetian smiled and said nothing.
Thomas Rockefeller continued to speak at this time, with a very solemn tone: "Chronos, can Apple still accept investment from the Rockefeller family?"
Hearing this, Li Zetian pondered for a while before answering: "At the end of this year, Apple will conduct A round of financing, and the Rockefeller family is very welcome to join!!!"
When Thomas Rockefeller heard the words, he was very satisfied. He nodded and smiled at Li Zetian: "It's settled like that! I'll go later if I have something to do!"
"Okay, Mr. Rockefeller, you can do it first!" Li Zetian watched the other party leave.
Whenever a company wants to develop into the world's top company, huge contacts and resources are essential.
The Rockefeller family is one of the top families in the United States, and it is beneficial to the development of Apple to win over it as an ally. In addition, Li Zetian is planning to plan Apple's listing plan, so he will conduct A round of financing at the end of the year to attract powerful and influential new shareholders to join. The Rockefeller family's investment in Apple is undoubtedly great news, which makes Wall Street more optimistic about Apple. When Apple conducts IPO (initial public offering), it will create an unprecedented myth! ! !
Wow, I'm super excited just thinking about it!
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Zetian came home. Tomorrow Apple-ll will be officially released. Li Zetian will definitely not be able to sleep now. Despite the confidence in the Apple-ll, it is still a little apprehensive. He took a cold shower, then came to the study and continued to write "Zhu Xian". Almost a year has passed. Li Zetian only wrote 250,000 words in the book "Zhu Xian". First, he didn't have time. Second, he wanted to write "Zhu Xian" better and add more of his own thoughts, so he wrote very slow.
"Zhu Xian", who has been grinding a sword for 10 years, who competes with it
Before I knew it, it was one o'clock in the morning, Li Zetian yawned and finally felt a little sleepy.
…
The next day, before dawn, many people gathered in downtown Los Angeles. They heard that Apple had built a flagship store here, and it was about to open today.
However, when everyone came to the outside of Apple's flagship store, they found that a layer of black cloth covered Apple's flagship store, so that people could not see the appearance of the flagship store.
People couldn't help but stand outside and talk.
"I'm going, and it's so mysterious!"
"Haha, it's kind of interesting, I really look forward to what this black cloth will look like after it's uncovered!"
"I heard that Apple spent a million dollars to build this flagship store!!!"
"What?? A million dollars??!"
Everyone was shocked. One million dollars is a huge amount of money. It costs so much to build just one facade. Apple is really bold!
In fact, the $1 million is purely gossip from Apple, and there is no such thing as so much, including rent. But publicity, sometimes it can be exaggerated a bit, but no, people can't help but look forward to Apple's flagship store!
There were more and more people on the street. At 8 o'clock, the staff of Apple came. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the black cloth was finally unveiled.
As soon as the black cloth fell, everyone couldn't help exclaiming.
"Wow! So cool!!!"
"Oh my God, Apple's flagship store is full of technology. The building about 15 meters high looks like a glass box, and the façade is about... It is composed of 11 large double-layer glass panels. This is the first time I've seen this design! Awesome!!!"
"The most eye-catching aspect of the entire retail space is the design of the second floor suspended in the center, which gives the impression that the center of the space creates a floating stage, as if it provides a brand new living space for the city."
"Not only these, please pay attention, there are also glowing ceilings, glass stairs with transparent texture on both sides, and Apple's silver glowing LOGO, it's really cool!!!"
"… "
At this time, the staff of the flagship store opened the door and said to everyone: "Welcome to Apple's first flagship store and experience the Apple-ll personal computer, the most innovative product in the technology world!!!" , made a please gesture.
People have long been in a hurry and rushed in immediately!
It didn't take a minute to arrive, the flagship store was full of people, and passersby couldn't help but look sideways! ! !
"Oh, God, what does this store sell, and business is so good?!"
So I went in to watch the fun, but I was immediately fascinated by Apple-ll...
Inside the flagship store, there was a lot of surprise and excitement. In less than 10 minutes, hundreds of Apple-lls and dozens of Excel and game software were sold. These users filed out from the gate holding big boxes one by one, and that guy in that scene could literally piss off IBM on the opposite side!
