The Industrial Giant Reborn

Chapter 171 Meeting Jobs

The sound of the cars outside the yard naturally startled Jobs. When he turned his head, he saw several black Mercedes-Benz sedans, and the one in the middle was an extended version of Lincoln.

"What's the situation?" Jobs thought that these people were just passing by, but he saw many men in black suits getting out of the car, each of them was tall and burly, with a particularly prominent waist, obviously biubiu. The Lincoln car in the middle was surrounded, and then the door of the Lincoln car opened, and a person he was familiar with came out, it was Woz, and then another Asian came out.

"Hi, Jobs." Woz also saw Jobs who was observing them, and quickly waved loudly.

"." Jobs was speechless for a while. He had already guessed who these people were. If he could have such a posture, it could only be Woz's boss, the Hong Kong man who always made him feel very mysterious.

It's just that for such a big boss who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, you just wave your hands and yell next to them, making yourself look like a primary school student, is it really okay?

Naturally, Jobs would not be so casual. He hurried down the stairs and walked over quickly.

Woz was still so casual, and introduced with a smile: "Boss, this is Jobs, Jobs, this is my boss Eric Chen."

"Mr. Chen, hello." Jobs was very casual, stretching out his hand and smiling.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs." Chen Zhiwen is also very interested in this legendary figure. Although there are many shortcomings, it is undeniable that Jobs is very good in many aspects, from the very first personal computer to the iPod he launched for Apple in the 21st century , iPhone, and iPad are all very creative, Apple mobile phones change the world, this sentence is indeed not empty talk, although Chen Zhiwen never bought an Apple mobile phone in his previous life.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Chen." Jobs continued, "I don't know if you came to see me. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Only Woz and Jobs lived here, and Woz came with him, so the purpose of Chen Zhiwen's coming here was naturally for himself.

"You should be able to guess my purpose." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Jobs was overjoyed and asked, "Mr. Chen is also interested in our computer?"

"Let's go in and talk about it, it's a bit cold here." Woz said suddenly and abruptly, and he didn't know if it was because he was enlightened and knew how to entertain people, or because it was really cold.

"Come on, go in first, I want to see what your computers look like." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. It is said that the first batch of computers made by the founders of Apple will be regarded as antiques with historical significance. The auctions also fetched high prices in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, even though they function poorly.

Five people walked in together, namely Chen Zhiwen, Woz, Jobs and two bodyguards. These two Chinese bodyguards were always by Chen Zhiwen's side. Whether they were in Hong Kong, Germany or the United States, they would only leave unless there were special circumstances. Then disperse on the spot.

"Your house is not bad. There is a beach outside. In summer, there should be a lot of beauties in bikinis?" After entering the villa, Chen Zhiwen saw the sea view outside through the balcony glass, and said with a smile.

"There are quite a few." Woz said with an embarrassed smile.

"Many beauties also came to borrow the bathroom, Woz is really lucky!" Jobs acted very casually, without the nervousness of ordinary entrepreneurs seeing investors.

"There are quite a few, but, I..." Woz was a little helpless, but didn't know how to speak.

"Yes, seize the opportunity and be more confident, Woz, you have to remember that you are a person worth tens of millions in the future, as long as you are confident, you don't need to chase girls." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile: "The most Advanced prey are often hunters."

Many of the old Americans are engaged in scientific research or technical personnel, and generally do not talk to girls, just like in the most famous American drama "The Big Bang Theory" in later generations, but these people are actually the best quality men, but girls prefer to talk sweet of.

But as long as it reaches a certain level, it will naturally be reversed.

"Then what should I do?" Woz said, stroking his messy hair.

"Go get a haircut, kick off your beard, and then, I'll give you a Mercedes-Benz sports car." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go and see your computer."

"This way." Jobs quickly pointed the direction. He already knew that Woz's boss is a very generous person, but it is too generous to give away a Mercedes-Benz sports car at will, but it is also good for him. The more generous the other party is, the more generous he is. The easier it is for projects to get investment!
Several people soon came to the study room on the second floor. As soon as Chen Zhiwen walked in, he saw two "computers" on the desk. At the end was a small monitor. There were several buttons under the monitor. In the middle was a "computer". The main board, without any protection, and without a box to enclose it, has a standard keyboard at the front.

The whole structure can be said to be very simple, but Chen Zhiwen knows that this is the starting point of the trillion-dollar market in the future. Personal computers and the related industries it can bring will completely change the living habits of human beings.

"This is our latest APPLE-1 personal computer." Jobs said very excitedly: "I believe that the future belongs to personal computers. Imagine what a huge market this is, at least tens of billions of dollars."

Woz on the side tidied up the tools next to the computer like lightning. Chen Zhiwen's coming here was a surprise attack, and the entire desk in the study was still quite messy.

"APPLE?" Chen Zhiwen asked, "Have you established a company?"

"No, but I'm going to name my company that, because I think the emergence of personal computers is as great as Newton's discovery of gravity through Apple 300 years ago." Jobs said bluntly.

"What can this computer do now?" Chen Zhiwen asked curiously.

Although he is not very familiar with the development history of Apple, he remembers that the birth of Apple should be in 1976. Either Jobs and others started their business in 1975, or his own appearance changed a certain history, especially Woz , because working for himself has gained a lot of wealth, and it is estimated that it has also accelerated the development of new computers.

Of course, Chen Zhiwen is very familiar with the computers of the later generations, but at least they were the big-ass computers in Internet cafes in the 90s. Before that, even before Windows, he knew nothing about it.

This aspect is obviously Woz's strong point. He walked to the computer and said while operating it: "Eric, look over here, it."

As a technician, Woz is very excited about computers, and he keeps introducing the various functions of this personal computer. Jobs is obviously familiar with it, but Chen Zhiwen is completely confused after listening to it for a while. Fameng, how does he know any DOS commands?After Woz typed on the keyboard, a bunch of codes appeared on the screen, and he couldn't understand what it meant.

After about ten minutes, Woz stopped, looked back at Chen Zhiwen, and asked, "Eric, what do you think of this?"

"I only understand a little bit, so in the field of computers, I don't understand, so I don't make comments, but from the perspective of ordinary consumers, this is completely unacceptable." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Why?" Jobs asked eagerly. Did he expect Chen Zhiwen to invest in his project?What I didn't expect was this ending.

Chen Zhiwen walked to the opposite side of the desk, there was a color TV, he pressed it lightly, and saw that the TV started to light up, and soon entered a channel, then Chen Zhiwen turned the knob on the TV, and after a while, changed a few Station, walked back again, pointed to the color TV and said: "Look, as long as the TV is turned on and tuned to a channel, I can watch it, but you tell me, I will not ignore the bunch of data that Woz just entered. Know what to do?"

"If you don't understand DOS commands, you can't use a computer, but we can sort out a set of the simplest learning methods. Most people only need to study for a few days to get a preliminary grasp of how to use it." Woz explained.

"It can only be said that these are office supplies for civilian use. For real civilian products, you should be able to learn the most basic uses within a few minutes, just like ordinary household appliances." Chen Zhiwen said.

Jobs couldn't help frowning, and said: "It's natural to be simple, but it's impossible to be like a TV. In terms of functions, a computer has too many functions, and it's much better than a TV."

"And don't cars also need a long time to learn?" Woz on the side also added.

"The car is actually very simple. The premise is that you can drive, a steering wheel, a brake and an accelerator, and the rest are just auxiliary." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "So, if you really want to make it suitable for everyone If you want to use a computer, you must make its operation very simple, so simple that an ordinary person like me can operate the most basic operations in just a few minutes, so that there is a possibility of popularization. Wang An Computer is just robbing the commercial market."

"That's a good idea," Jobs said, frowning.
