We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

At this moment, he noticed a thin blanket had been placed over him at some point. It must have been Ajiao or Amei, seeing him asleep there, who specially covered him, afraid he might catch a cold.

Su Cheng yawned, put the thin blanket aside, and got up to grab his mobile phone.

He glanced at the phone number; it wasn't local. Looking at the area code, it seemed to be from the United States.

He checked the time; it was a little after five in the afternoon. In the United States, it should be around two in the morning. Who would be calling him so late at night?

Although somewhat puzzled, Su Cheng still pressed the answer button: "Hello, this is Su Cheng."

"Mr. Su, this is Jobs. Am I disturbing you?" Jobs' voice came from the other end of the line.

Su Cheng remembered that Jobs had visited Hong Kong in early July and finalized the deal of exchanging shares for technology with him.

However, after returning to the United States from Hong Kong, I thought a lot on the way and felt that it wouldn't have any advantages.

To succeed, you must innovate!

So, I had the idea of developing a portable computer.

After returning to the United States, I discussed this with my research and development colleagues, and they thought it was feasible. So, we started the research and development, and today, the portable computer in our minds was finally born.

In my opinion, it is a groundbreaking invention. Its biggest highlight is that it is a portable computer. We tried to minimize the computer's components and integrate the host, screen, and keyboard. The host also stores a large battery that can be used for half an hour.

During this period, the engineers from Sky穹 Semiconductor Company helped us a lot. We originally thought that the first product would definitely not meet our requirements, but after the finished product came out, we were surprised to find that this new product satisfied our entire team.

Mr. Su, I really can't wait to show it to you and see our new product. I believe that if Mr. Su sees it, he will definitely be shocked by our invention!" Jobs said excitedly on the other end.

Hearing Jobs' words, Su Cheng's first reaction was, isn't this a laptop computer?

He almost blurted out the words 'holy crap'.

This Jobs is indeed the favored one in the business world.

He could even come up with such a product in advance.

Su Cheng originally planned to reveal the idea of a laptop in a few more years and have Oracle Computer design it.

As for now, he wanted to get the desktop computer right first.

What he didn't expect was that Apple, seeing that it was lagging too far behind in the desktop computer field, actually came up with a way to overtake on a curve.

Awesome, too awesome.

Moreover, it only took them more than three months to develop it.

No wonder Jobs was calling him so late; he probably couldn't sleep tonight.

Having developed such a groundbreaking product, they must be overjoyed.

Laptop computers are bound to be a must-have for business people, and their sales are bound to be good just by relying on such a product.

Moreover, Apple's reputation in the United States has always been good, with many fans.

At this time, launching such a product would give them the strength to stand out among many computer companies.

Su Cheng suddenly felt that exchanging technology support for 30% of their shares was too worthwhile.

In the future, he, Su Cheng, certainly wouldn't be able to come up with all these technological products on his own.

But having an Apple company to help out would be great.

Anyway, he is now Apple's largest shareholder.

However, he didn't know what the product looked like. Just from Jobs' simple description, Su Cheng couldn't imagine what the product looked like.

"Mr. Jobs, are you at home now?" Su Cheng asked.

"No, Mr. Su, I am still at the company. Not only me, but Steve Gary Wozniak, Michael Scott, Mike Markkula, and other key members of the company are all at the company. After the finished product was successfully developed today, we have been using this product, trying to continue to improve it.

But so far, this product has reached the standard for release. Tonight, we don't plan to go home. Later, we will hold a meeting to discuss how to release this groundbreaking product. Mr. Su, it's a pity that you couldn't witness the birth of our product, but as one of the company's bosses, I must tell you this news immediately!"

The newest novels are first published on [website name]!

Jobs' tone was full of pride and excitement.

"In that case, please send me a photo of the product via fax machine. I can't wait to see your new product," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Su, there happens to be a fax machine in the research and development room," Jobs agreed directly.

Anyway, in Jobs' opinion, they would be announcing this new product to the public soon, and Apple had already found professionals to apply for patents in major countries or regions around the world, so there was no problem in releasing the product's appearance.

So, Su Cheng told Jobs the fax number of the study on the third floor.

Ten minutes later, Su Cheng successfully received a picture of the product.

This portable computer was very different from the laptop in Su Cheng's memory. To him, his first impression was that it was very bulky.

The host case was indeed much smaller than a traditional desktop computer and was integrated with the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there was also a seven-inch display screen that could be moved up and down, opening up to a maximum of 130 degrees. After the display screen was closed, the product looked like a suitcase, and they had specially designed a wooden handle for easy carrying.

When closed, it was indeed convenient to carry around.

Although Su Cheng felt that this product was very ordinary at first glance, he knew that it was because he was used to seeing those thin and light laptops of later generations.

However, such a product was already a groundbreaking product in this era.

After Su Cheng finished looking at the photo, he called Jobs back.

"Mr. Su, how do you feel? Isn't the appearance very good-looking?" Before Su Cheng could speak, Jobs had already eagerly asked.
