Giant of the times

Chapter 36 Apple-l was developed successfully!

There is no surprise that something is going to happen when the hotel opens~~Those who are thinking about it can go and face the wall~~~

At noon, Li Zetian took Yu Jingqiu to a safe and comfortable hotel nearby to stay, and then had a sumptuous lunch in the hotel restaurant. Later, the two went to visit scenic spots in San Jose, and Li Zetian's tight inner strings were released!

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

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, just call me Steve or Wozniak!" Wozniak said.

Li Zetian is used to calling him "Wozniak" because Jobs's full name is Steve Jobs. Both of them are Steves, and they are also co-founders of Apple. It is easy to confuse him. In fact, in informal situations, you can call it whatever you want, as long as it sounds smooth. The surname Wozniak is a bit difficult to pronounce, so Zhang Hao 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 4/5, and the last 1/5 will be left to you and Zhang Hao. I will now design the appearance of the Apple-l model first. Okay, choose a cooperative manufacturer and let them produce a few samples. If you want something to be sold, it must have good packaging!" At this time, Li Zetian turned to look at Yu Jingqiu, "Jingqiu, just check it out. Check the phone book and ask if there is a factory in San Jose that has excellent workmanship and is not expensive!" The phone book is the most frequently read guide book for Americans. When Jobs was 12 years old, he found the number of the HP boss through the phone book, and then I called him to ask for parts, and by the way, I got a summer internship opportunity. Lists of all the companies in San Jose can be found in the phone book, and they even break down what they do, so it's not too difficult to find them.

"What materials should be used for computer mainframes and monitors?" Yu Jingqiu asked.

"Galvanized steel plate! It looks high-end and classy!!!"

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

"What we sell is high-end goods!"

"OK, all right."

Li Zetian has already designed the appearance of the Apple-l model countless times in his mind. Therefore, he drew the drawing very quickly and completed it in one night. The appearance is simple, elegant, beautiful and ergonomic. The main chassis is a very delicate rectangular parallelepiped. The box only has a power button, a restart button and a disk drive. There is a small monitor placed on the chassis, which supports various external devices such as external keyboards and printers. Of course, the interior is also designed with an all-metal architecture. The hardware distribution is quite clear and highly integrated. It is a pleasing feeling for computer enthusiasts who like to take apart machines.

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

On August 24, five complete machine casings were delivered to Apple.

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

As a result, Wozniak and Zhang Hao excitedly assembled the various components of the computer.

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

"Oh, that's so cool!"

"yes!"

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

At this moment, Li Zetian finally breathed a sigh of relief. After so many days of hard work, he finally completed the Apple-l. He had applied for dozens of patents involved, and he was already strapped for money.

Now that the product is out, it’s time to find a way to sell it.

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

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

"Yes, do you have any good suggestions?"

"The top priority is to release Apple-l to the media quickly before MITS and attract widespread attention!!!"

Li Zetian couldn't help but laugh, and Yu Jingqiu thought about it together.

"Jingqiu, do you understand the American media?"

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

What a good wife, she has thought of everything!

Li Zetian couldn't help but kiss Yu Jingqiu's little lips, and said with a smile: "We will set off with Apple-l tomorrow and visit every media outlet! I think there will always be media who are interested in Apple-l!" !!”

"Um!"

"Zhang Hao, bring your car here early tomorrow morning, and we will go to major media to promote our Apple-l personal computer!"

"Okay, boss!!!"

Hearing the word "boss", Li Zetian couldn't help but shake his head, return the boss? I don’t have a car or savings, but you have much more money than me...

Li Zetian then turned 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. Yes, I hope you can join this project, and join as a formal employee of Apple!!!"

Wozniak hesitated, but once again rejected Li Zetian's invitation.

However, Li Zetian was overjoyed. He had always refused outright when trying to persuade him to join Apple, but now he became hesitant, which meant that the time to persuade him to join Apple was not far away!

That night, everyone celebrated with champagne and played until very late.

Yu Jingqiu was particularly drunk tonight, and she got drunk after just a few glasses of wine. Li Zetian sent her to the hotel room.

Then put him on the bed, take off his shoes, and take off his coat.

Finally cover yourself with a quilt.

Li Zetian kissed Yu Jingqiu's forehead, "If you're not a good drinker, don't drink so much..." There was a hint of reproach in his heartache.

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

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

boom!

The door is closed.

Yu Jingqiu's cheeks were flushed and charming. She slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the door. She laughed softly and cursed: "Everyone is like this. He doesn't know it yet. He is such a big fool..."

Doesn't Li Zezhen know that Yu Jingqiu is pretending to be drunk? He obviously knew that his heart was pounding as soon as he walked out of Yu Jingqiu's door, but now was not the best time to take care of Yu Jingqiu's body.

In the movie "Westward Journey", Fairy Zixia has this line: "The person I love is a peerless hero. One day he will come to marry me wearing golden armor and holy clothes and riding colorful auspicious clouds!"

In Li Zetian's heart, Yu Jingqiu is his Zixia Fairy. One day, he will marry Yu Jingqiu gloriously!
