Giant of the times
Chapter 39 Solomon, who has always been
September is the start of the semester at Harvard University, and people rush to the school to register.
Li Zetian asked Yu Jingqiu to bring a letter to Harvard University, which read:
"
Due to starting a business, I am requesting permission from the school to take a leave of absence! ! !
——Chronos Lee.
"
At the same time, Yu Jingqiu was asked to tell Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer that he started a business in Silicon Valley and founded Microsoft! Yu Jingqiu was very confused, why didn't it say Apple, but Microsoft? Li Zetian just smiled and didn't say the reason.
In a small garage in San Jose, the new Apple-l model personal computer is being manufactured.
As the saying goes: "Eat a pit and gain wisdom!"
With support of $100,000 from Yu Jingqiu, Li Zetian is no longer eager to promote, but decides to test the product first. If there is no problem, he will proceed with the next step of publicity work!
Li Zetian asked Zhang Han and Wozniak to build 10 Apple-l machines, and then put them in the garage for testing. After more than ten days, not a single machine had any problems!
During this period, Li Zetian was not idle. Instead, he contacted various accessories manufacturers to conduct business negotiations and strive to get accessories at the lowest price.
From gradually becoming unaccustomed to negotiating with others to becoming more comfortable with it, Li Zetian has grown very fast these days.
They say opportunity comes to those who are prepared!
On September 14th, a strange man came to Apple’s garage headquarters!
"Hello, I am Solomon, the editor of Popular Electronics magazine!"
When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. "Popular Electronics" was founded in 1954 and mainly published legendary cover stories. It is not an exaggeration to say that "Popular Electronics" magazine has led thousands of electronics enthusiasts to embark on technological innovation. Many technical experts in Silicon Valley and powerful figures in the IT industry grew up reading this magazine.
Bill Gates read the "Popular Electronics" report on MITS's Altair 8800 in January 1975 and decided to start Microsoft; Steve Jobs read the same issue of "Popular Electronics" and decided to start Apple; SoftBank founder Sun Zhengyi read the report on Intel's chips in "Popular Electronics" and decided to work in the computer industry...
Li Zetian quickly invited Solomon into the garage, thinking to himself, how did the editor of "Popular Electronics" find this place?
Solomon walked into the house with a smile on his face and looked at everything in the garage curiously. When he saw 10 Apple-l's placed on the table, his eyes immediately lit up.
"This is the Apple-l model personal computer?" Solomon asked in shock.
Li Zetian nodded: "Yes, this is the Apple-l model personal computer! However, Mr. Solomon, if you don't mind my taking the liberty to ask, how did you know about this place and the Apple-l?"
Solomon smiled and explained: "I heard this from an editor friend of Time Magazine accidentally! Haha, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. They think Apple-l is burned and is a junk product. , but I felt keenly from it that that was what I wanted, a super news that could shock the computer industry in the United States and even the world!!! So I worked hard and finally found it here!"
At this moment, Solomon felt that his efforts were not in vain, Apple-l gave him a great shock! ! !
Beautiful appearance, compact and exquisite!
And it can even run the BASIC language!
This is comparable to some commercial minicomputers! ! !
"Are you an employee here?" Solomon then turned to look at Li Zetian and asked.
"No, I am the founder of this company!" Li Zetian replied calmly.
Solomon was shocked again!
It can be said that after walking into this garage, I was constantly shocked!
"You're not 20 yet, are you?"
"Yes, I'm only 18!"
Solomon took a deep breath. He was a young genius. He could achieve such achievements at such a young age. His future achievements would probably be no worse than Wang An's!
Wang An founded Wang An Computer Company and became a billionaire among Chinese people. He is a famous figure in the United States that almost everyone knows! ! !
Solomon compares Li Zetian and Wang An, which shows how much shock Apple-l brought to him!
However, Solomon may never have dreamed that 100 Wang An combined would not be as great as Li Zetian's achievements!
Solomon calmed down and said, "Can you introduce yourself? At this moment, I am as interested in you as I am in Apple-l!"
Li Zetian looked at Solomon, who was in his forties and had a fat figure, and thought to himself: "Well, don't be interested in me anymore, I'm not gay!"
However, he said: "Okay, no problem. I am from Hong Kong, my name is Chronos Lee, and I am a music student at Harvard University. However, as you know, I am starting a business in Silicon Valley and cannot return to school, so I dropped out of school!! !”
"Uh, music department? I thought you were from the computer department!" Solomon said in shock.
Li Zetian smiled and said, "After college students graduate, many people choose careers that are often inconsistent with, or even completely unrelated to, the majors they studied in college!"
"Haha, that's true. I studied history in college, but now I am editing an electronic magazine!" Solomon smiled and asked, "How many employees does Apple have now?"
"Two and a half!"
"Two and a half??!" Solomon couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
"That half is a part-time employee!"
"In other words, just the three of you made Apple-l?!"
"Yes!"
When Solomon heard this, he was so shocked that he could stuff an egg into his mouth.
Oh, God, they are so awesome! ! !
After a while, Solomon calmed down his excitement. Then he asked Li Zetian about the configuration and price of Apple-l. As he asked, he took notes to avoid forgetting or misremembering, and finally asked: "Chronos, I want to make an Apple-l personal computer." Do you like the cover of Popular Electronics?"
“No problem, it’s a great honor to be on the cover of Popular Electronics!”
"Then I'll start taking pictures of Apple-l now!" As he said that, Solomon took out his camera.
"Well, feel free to take pictures!" Li Zetian nodded.
Click, click, click!
Solomon took more than twenty photos in a row, and then put away the camera with satisfaction.
"Chronos, the photos have been taken, so I'm going back now. To be honest, I can't wait to write the manuscript at this moment!!!"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Solomon, but I have a request. Can you agree to it?"
"What request?"
“I hope you don’t write that I’m the founder of this company!”
"Why not write it? Wouldn't it be a very honorable thing?"
"Can't I keep a low profile?"
Solomon frowned and said, "That's weird, okay, I promise you!"
Li Zetian sent Solomon away, feeling very excited. Although "Popular Electronics" is not as influential as "Times", in the electronics industry, "Popular Electronics" is the most authoritative and influential magazine in the United States.
As long as Apple-l can be on the cover of "Popular Electronics", it will definitely be popular! ! !
Li Zetian suppressed the excitement in his heart, picked up the phone, and called Yu Jingqiu, wanting to share the matter with her as soon as possible!
The dormitory phone rang, but the person who answered the phone was Chen Ruoxi.
"Yu Jingqiu just went out, what do you want from her? I can convey it!"
"It's nothing. Since she's not here, forget it. I'll hang up."
"Don't hang up the phone yet, wait a minute!"
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"I heard you dropped out of school!"
"Yes……"
"Fortunately, I didn't fall in love with you at first. Of course, I just feel sorry for Yu Jingqiu that she would like someone like you! If you really like Yu Jingqiu and think about her, please take the initiative to leave her! Because you guys From now on, she will not be a person of the same social level. She is the daughter of a rich man and goes to the upper class society, and you don’t even have a Harvard University diploma. What qualifications do you have to be with her? To tell you the truth, I have already separated you from Yu Jing Qiu's story was told to her father, but her father was very opposed to it and punished her to stay at home for two months during the holidays! Unexpectedly, two months later, Yu Jingqiu still didn't realize her mistake and actually ran to San Jose. City, stay with you!”
When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Yu Jingqiu had never mentioned this matter to him.
"Is it good for you to be so thoughtful?" Li Zetian said sarcastically.
"Yes, that's right!" Chen Ruoxi admitted openly, and then continued, "Because I know that Wang Lie likes Yu Jingqiu and has never given up on her, so I have to find a way to make Wang Lie die for her. You are so sincere! The only way is to let Yu Jingqiu find a boyfriend who is of the same family! However, you are obviously not qualified. Wang Lie does not take you seriously at all! Now because of your existence, although I have introduced you to Yu Jingqiu, There are very good men, but she turns a blind eye!"
"It has nothing to do with me that you want to marry your wealthy family! But please don't waste your time introducing a boyfriend to Yu Jingqiu, otherwise, I will make you look good!!!"
