Chapter 201 We are the first

The next day, major media around the world reported that Li Zetian returned to Apple.

The Wall Street Journal was full of confidence in Li Zetian, and the headline on the headline reads: "Chronos·li returns to Apple, and major computer manufacturers around the world are trembling!!!"

Of course, some media and newspapers are not optimistic that after Li Zetian returns to Apple, she can develop Apple again.

For example, Japan's Daily News, the newspaper reported: "In the Walkman market, Sony Walkman's market share has exceeded Apple's walkman. With Sony's development and design capabilities, Apple is no match for it at all! In the personal computer market, it is now a world of compatible computers. Apple is obviously not their opponent. Even though chronos·li is very talented, it still cannot save the terminally ill Apple!"

People around the world were also talking about it, and they made various speculations about what happened after Li Zetian returned to Apple.

"Apple has fallen in recent years, but the return of chronos·li will definitely make Apple stand up again!"

"Apple-l, apple-ll, walkman was so amazing back then, it was such a pity... I hope that after chronos·li returned, Apple can develop new products!"

"Chronos·li is so handsome. He is a fantastic man!"

“…”

...

Apple CEO Vincent Guy took the initiative to submit his resignation to Li Zetian.

During his tenure, he was mediocre and almost broke Apple. Although the main responsibility was Thomas Rockefeller, he also had an unshirkable responsibility. Resigning from blame is the best and smartest choice. If he is fired by Li Zetian, it would be even more embarrassing.

Of course, Li Zetian approved that he wanted to find a CEO that could help Apple rise. Vincent Guy obviously did not have this ability.

At present, Sun Microsystems is full of talents, and Li Zetian wants to dig Jobs and Wozniak to Apple.

So, after Vincent Guy resigned, Li Zetian made an appointment with Jobs and Wozniak.

The news of Vincent Guy's resignation was already full of storms. Li Zetian made an appointment with them at this time, and they could actually guess what was going on.

When Jobs and Wozniak came to Li Zetian's villa, Li Zetian asked directly: "Jobs, Wozniak, are you willing to come to Apple?"

Jobs had always wanted to go back to Apple, so he nodded and agreed: "I do!"

Wozniak looked at Jobs and nodded: "I do, too!"

"Very good," Li Zetian smiled, "Jobs will serve as CEO in the future, and Wozniak will serve as Apple's chief scientist!"

In the study, Dongfang Yuqin poured three glasses of water for them, and then sat on a chair next to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian said: "I believe you all understand the current situation of Apple. How can Apple be redeveloped? I want to hear your views first!"

Wozniak is good at developing, and if you want to manage and develop a company, it won’t work. He looked at Jobs again and asked Jobs to say that.

Before Jobs came, he naturally thought about this question, and then he replied without hesitation: "If I were the CEO, I would cut off most of Apple's projects, lay off a large number of people, leaving only the personal computer, software development department and walkman!"

Wozniak was stunned when he heard this. If Jobs said, Apple would suffer heavy losses. Many projects would be done in vain and would only hurt Apple. If he was CEO, he would never dare to do this. Wozniak couldn't help but worry for Jobs. He glanced at Li Zetian secretly, and saw that there was no expression on his face, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed in his heart. Jobs was afraid that there was no hope of returning to Apple...

However, things are often different from what you imagined!

When Li Zetian smiled and said to Jobs, "You and I have the same idea as me", Wozniak was stunned at that time...

Seeing Wozniak's confused look, Li Zetian smiled and explained: "Many of Apple's projects do not make money, or can only make some small money. Instead of using the company's R&D power in these places, it is better to concentrate on developing personal computers and walkman. Apple now needs drastic transformation, and what Jobs said is exactly what I want!"

Wozniak didn't understand very well, but he also thought what Li Zetian said made sense.

Li Zetian turned his head and looked at Dongfang Yuqin and said, "Dongfang Yuqin, take out the Apple documents."

"OK."

Dongfang Yuqin got up and walked to a safe, took out the key, opened the door, and took out a document inside. Then, Dongfang Yuqin walked to the photocopier and copied two copies.

Li Zetian said: "I have sorted out Apple's future development direction in recent days and wrote it on these documents."

Dongfang Yuqin gave Jobs and Wozniak a document at this time. While listening to Li Zetian's words, they looked through the scene.

The title of the homepage instantly attracted the eyes of Jobs and Wozniak, and he couldn't help but say it: "CD Walkman!!!"

Li Zetian said: "Yes, the tape walkman is outdated, and Apple wants to develop the CD Walkman! Apple's Seagate Technology and Philips have developed a CD in total, but Apple obviously doesn't know how to make good use of it!"

Li Zetian smiled, took a sip of water, and continued, "CD is easy to use, and the storage capacity, sound quality, transportation, service life and other aspects are stronger than tapes. It is only a matter of time before CD replaces tapes, and it can even replace vinyl records!!!"

CD records can also replace vinyl records, and I'm afraid no one will believe this when they say it? Jobs and Wozniak were all surprised when they heard this!

Li Zetian said confidently: "CD records are different from the hissing sound of vinyl records. They give people a crystal-clear music experience, and the sound quality is very good. The cost of producing CDs is probably the smallest amount of plastic, and the transportation accounts for a small size, so they can be sold for dozens of dollars. In addition, CD records will not jump wires, and the amazing profits and consumer acceptance and affordability are obvious.

The large-scale production of photopressure copper molds of vinyl has already cost several dollars per disc. This has not yet calculated the cost of polyethylene raw materials. Moreover, transportation is heavy and occupying space. It is not well preserved and can easily lose jumpers. If it is sold for dozens of dollars, it may not make a big profit and consumers are not willing to buy it. In contrast, vinyl will inevitably be replaced by CD in the mainstream market!”

Jobs nodded and said, "Producing CDs is obviously more profitable than vinyl records. Driven by profit, vinyl is an inevitable choice under market competition! Apple produces CD Walkman, which can make smaller and more refined, with a much better sound quality than tape Walkman. At the same time, CD stores more songs, which will definitely be very popular!!!"

Li Zetian nodded: "That's right! In addition, CD is not just an audio disc! You can notice that a 7-inch (about 12 cm) CD can store an astonishing 6.3 billion bytes of information! If you use it on a computer, what kind of wonderful spark collision do you think will happen?!"

When Jobs and Wozniak heard this, their eyes lit up instantly and their expressions were full of excitement!

Wozniak said excitedly: "MR·li, we can redefine the purpose of CD and use it as a medium for computer software. In the future, software will no longer use tapes with small storage capacity, but CDrom, read-only optical drives!!!

In this way, the software not only lasts for a long time, but also software developers can develop more powerful software! The software used to be only a few kb, and the software now has several mb. In the future, the software will only get bigger and bigger, and the capacity of a tape is not enough!

There is no doubt that cdrom will be very popular. If the first one installed optical drive on Apple's computers, then our computers will definitely be very popular!"

Wozniak's face was full of excitement and wanted to start studying cdrom now.

"Don't worry, continue reading!" Li Zetian reminded them to continue reading the documents.

Jobs and Wozniak nodded and then looked down. Soon, they saw the personal computer chapter.

When they saw a picture above, the two couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Is this a desk lamp computer?!" Wozniak said in surprise.

Li Zetian smiled and said, "That's right! To be precise, it should be called a desk lamp all-in-one machine! Below is a white round box, which is equivalent to the computer's host. The monitor is a 9-inch LCD, and it is positioned with a swingable arm! The overall look is like a white desk lamp!"

"Mr·li, your design is so cool, full of fashion and technology. I just want to buy one when I look at the pictures!" said Wozniak.

Jobs also nodded repeatedly: "The exquisite design will surely shock everyone once it is launched!"

"This is the first product of the ima series, so it is called the ima-g1 all-in-one machine first! In the future, Apple's computer products will only develop desktop all-in-one machines and notebooks, and concentrate their efforts on the places we focus on, and we are the first!!!" Li Zetian said.
Chapter completed!
