Giant of the times

In the early days, Jobs's personality was too irritable. He could not be a CEO of the company and was kicked out by the board of directors in 1985. After 10 years of training and growth, he became one of the world's top CEOs. But for now, Jobs can be an excellent product manager. His pursuit of perfection, superhuman energy and innovative ability are exactly what Li Zetian hopes for.

There is a ready-made talent suitable to be CEO, and Li Zetian certainly wants to recruit him into his company. However, after what happened with Wozniak, Li Zetian knew that he could not conquer the other party just by talking about dreams. He must show some real materials and let the other party see the future development prospects! ! !

Li Zetian initially thought that as soon as he heard that he was going to develop a personal computer, any technical geek who was enthusiastic about personal computer development would join in enthusiastically! However, Li Zetian thought wrongly. Wozniak liked working at HP very much. This suddenly reminded Li Zetian that when Apple was founded, Wozniak was also unwilling to resign. Later, after Jobs and a shareholder at the time, he Mike Markkula finally chose to resign after much persuasion.

Jobs and Wozniak had been playing together since childhood, and it was difficult to persuade Wozniak, let alone a stranger.

However, if Wozniak is offered a salary to help him develop an Apple-l model personal computer after work, he should be absolutely willing!

Li Zetian thought about it and couldn't help but laugh, Okay, if you don't want shares, just get salary. You can't blame me for not giving you a chance in the future. I've been to your house twice...

On the second day after renting the garage, Li Zetian bought all the electronic components needed for development! At the same time, my luggage was also moved here, and I will sleep directly in the garage from now on. That night, Li Zetian came to Wozniak's door again.

Jingle Bell.

It's you again!! Wozniak's mother frowned.

Yes, it's me again! Li Zetian smiled lightly and said, Don't worry, I'm not here to persuade Steve to change jobs!

Come in! Wozniak's mother said reluctantly.

Thanks……

Steve! Steve! That Chinese guy is coming for you again!

After entering the house, Wozniak's mother, who had a loud voice, shouted directly downstairs.

Soon, Steve Gary Wozniak came to the living room.

Chronos, he said, his voice rising a few decibels, Didn't I make it clear to you? I told you not to come to me anymore. I will not change jobs!

Steve's tone seemed very rude, but Li Zetian was not angry and smiled: I am not here to ask you to leave HP. I just want to ask, are you willing to make some extra money after work?

Wozniak was stunned. He didn't have to leave HP and could make money, so why not? Not to mention he was also interested in developing personal computers!

Li Zetian continued: I can offer you a salary of US$20 per hour!

After hearing this, Wozniak was shocked. He now only earns $80 a day at HP, and this is already an excellent treatment!

Mr. Li, are you sure you will pay me $20 an hour? Who doesn't like money? Wozniak also had a falling out with Jobs because of money. Now that he heard that the other party was willing to give him such a high salary, Even the title changed immediately.

certainly!

I can go to your place to work for three hours after I get off work from HP in the evening, and I can work all day on Saturdays and Sundays!

No problem! Although the company headquarters is not very big, if you are tired from working all night, you can just sleep there. Li Zetian smiled and specifically mentioned the all-nighter, encouraging him to work all night, and then go to HP to take a nap during the day. , I came to the garage at night and my energy became strong again.

Then, when will the salary be paid?

How do you feel about settling the bill for you on Sunday night?

no problem!

This is the contract, Li Zetian took out a contract document from the bag he carried with him.

Just as Wozniak was about to reach out to pick it up, Li Zetian took the contract away again and said, Don't worry, you must sign a confidentiality agreement before signing the contract. You will not be allowed to do anything while working here. Tell anyone! As he spoke, Li Zetian took out another document and placed it on the table.

Wozniak nodded and said: No problem, don't worry, I am a person with professional ethics and will not leak your company's business secrets!

After speaking, Wozniak picked up the pen, read the confidentiality agreement briefly, and then signed his name.

Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction, handed him the labor contract, and said, First check if there are any problems with the contract. If not, just sign it!

Wozniak read the contract several times and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed his name.

The contract was made in two copies, and each of them took one copy.

Li Zetian asked: When can you come to work?

Today is Sunday. Let me get ready and go there to work tomorrow night... By the way, I don't know where the company is yet?

Li Zetian gave the address and phone number of the garage, and Wozniak quickly wrote these down in his notebook.

Then I'll take my leave!

I'll give it to you!

Wozniak sent Li Zetian to the gate. When he turned around, his mother was looking at him. Is he here again to persuade you to change jobs? Mrs. Wozniak asked.

No, just let me do things for him in my free time, $20 an hour!!!

Such a high salary!!! Mrs. Wozniak was surprised when she heard this and murmured, If this is the case, Chronos Lee is still a good person. Next time he comes to our house, we can let him Try the cake I baked!”

Many years later, Mrs. Wozniak regretted it greatly. When her son Steve was offered 10% of Apple's shares and a salary of $20 an hour, Steve chose the latter. As a mother, she This played a big role. She was the one who firmly told her son not to leave HP or go to Apple...
