Giant of the times

Regarding notebooks, Li Zetian said: "Apple's notebook is named PowerBook, which means a notebook with excellent performance and powerful power. The first generation PowerBook uses a reduced instruction set processor ARM1. The trackball and palm rest that act as a mouse are two important features of this notebook. Big feature. Especially the palm rest. No computer company has ever had this design before. As you can see, the palm rest in front of the keyboard can be placed on, making the user more comfortable when operating the laptop. The trackball in the middle of the palm rest Able to rotate and move the position of the mouse!”

Wozniak said: "The design of the palm rest is so user-friendly. Using such a laptop for work, my hands will not be so tired!"

Jobs said: "This must be patented. I am sure that the palm rest will become the standard for notebook computers!!!"

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, "I have already asked someone to apply for a patent!"

Jobs thought for a moment and said, "The trackball is a pretty good design, but it just feels a little strange."

The capacitive touchpad mouse has not yet been invented. Without Li Zetian's human intervention, this thing would have been invented by George Gerpheide Company in 1988. At present, the PowerBook naturally cannot use the touchpad, and the trackball is regarded as a substitute product. It does look a bit weird, and it is a helpless move. However, the free space in the middle of the palm rest is wasted if not used, and the function of the trackball can indeed attract the user's attention and add a sense of technology.

Li Zetian chatted with Jobs and Wozniak for an hour or two before ending the conversation.

A few days later, Sun Microsystems and Apple made major personnel changes.

Jobs becomes Apple's CEO, and Wozniak becomes Apple's chief scientist!

Dr. Jim Clark serves as the CEO of Sun Microsystems, and William Nelson Joy serves as the chief scientist of Sun Microsystems!

The personnel adjustment was nothing, but what Jobs did after taking office made the global media excited and crazy!

On March 20, Apple held a press conference and announced the discontinuation of multiple internal projects within the company, retaining only personal computers, software development and the Walkman player. At the same time, it announced plans to lay off 3,000 employees.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the industry and caused numerous reports from major media around the world.

The New York Times said: "When Steve Jobs became CEO, he immediately cut off most of Apple's projects. This move undoubtedly destroyed the Great Wall. There was a major problem with Chronos Li's decision-making! Apple is hopeless!"

The Wall Street Journal is also not optimistic about Jobs: "Apple spent a lot of money on other projects. Once Jobs took office, he did not study whether these projects were profitable at all, and cut off almost all projects across the board, wasting Apple's years of hard work. !Jobs can be called the most spendthrift CEO of this century!!!”

The Los Angeles Times said in a negative tone: "After Steve Jobs's efforts, the company has shrunk severely and its market value has dropped significantly!"

In fact, almost no media is optimistic about Jobs and thinks that Li Zetian has made a huge mistake!

At this time, when Thomas Rockefeller heard the news, he was shocked and murmured: "What is Chronos Li doing? Is he destroying the Great Wall?" Suddenly, Thomas Rockefeller was glad that he had sold Apple. , and at the same time, I felt that Li Zetian might have water in his head, causing Jobs to act recklessly!

When the outside world was scolding Jobs, he turned a deaf ear and was busy laying off employees and selling off Apple's assets!

People inside Apple were so frightened that they dared not look Jobs in the eye for fear of being fired.

At this time, Li Zetian came forward to support Jobs. In an interview with media reporters, he said: "Currently, many people are talking about Jobs, saying that he is incompetent and that he ruined Apple. In fact, I want to say that everything Jobs did was It was authorized by me, and it was me who requested that many projects of Apple be cut off! Now Apple is suffering from a long-term illness and must undergo major surgery! If you have any doubts about my decision, please wait a few months. look!"

The reporters were extremely surprised. They really didn't expect that Jobs was just the executor and Li Zetian was the one who made the plan.

"Is this how Chronos Li saved Apple? Oh, it's so disappointing!"

"Disappointed? How has Chronos Li ever let us down? Maybe he was thinking about something that you hadn't thought of. Just go ahead!"

"Damn, if I had that ability, I would still be chatting and spanking you here!"

"..."

Li Zetian's interview immediately spread to the world.

Public opinion has changed from one-sided to two factions.

Many people think Li Zetian's actions are profound.

"Who is Chronos Li? How can his decision be wrong?"

"Yes, Chronos·Li is holding it in his mouth so much, he must have some tricks up his sleeve!"

"..."

A large number of experts and professors began to whitewash Li Zetian, explaining the benefits of Li Zetian's decision to Apple in order to show that they were also awesome!

Look, my reputation as an expert and professor is not for nothing. I know the deep meaning behind Li Zetian’s decision!

Of course, there are also some experts and professors who criticize and ridicule Li Zetian's decision-making to gain attention.

After more than a month, Apple implemented its plan to streamline its operations, leaving only some hardware and software developers from Sunbird and Atari. The rest were packaged and sold to Flamingo for $100 million. Those Apple Printers were also sold to companies under Li Zetian's name at low prices.

Apple threw away its burden and started to launch three products designed by Li Zetian: CD-Walkman, iMac desktop all-in-one computer and PowerBook notebook computer. At the same time, CD-ROM is also being developed.

In fact, Li Zetian once considered asking Apple to develop mobile phones, but when he thought that Motorola had been developing "Big Brother" mobile phones for almost 10 years, Apple could not catch up, so he did not join in the fun. When Qualcomm's CDMA is developed or Europe's GSM is developed, that is, the 2G era comes, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Motorola couldn't afford to fall behind, and it started to lag behind in the 2G era, allowing Nokia mobile phones to surpass it! ! !
