giants of the era

Chapter 36 Apple-l developed successfully!
The opening of the hotel~~ The room does not mean that something will happen, those who want to be crooked can face the wall~~~
At noon, Li Zetian took Yu Jingqiu to find a safe and comfortable hotel nearby to stay, and then had a sumptuous lunch in the hotel restaurant.Afterwards, the two went to visit scenic spots in San Jose, and Li Zetian's inner tension was released!
In the evening, the two returned to the garage.Not long after, Wozniak came too.

Li Zetian introduced: "This is my girlfriend, her Chinese name is Yu Jingqiu, and her English name is Susan Yu!"

Yu Jingqiu smiled and greeted Wozniak actively: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Steve Gary Wozniak!"

"Hi, Susan Yu, nice to meet you, just call me Steve or Wozniak!" Wozniak said.

Li Zetian is used to calling him "Wozniak", because Jobs' full name is Steve Jobs, both of them are Steve, and they are both co-founders of Apple, so it is easy to confuse them.In fact, in informal occasions, you can call it whatever you want, as long as it sounds fluent.The surname Wozniak is a bit of a mouthful, so Zhang Han generally calls Steve Gary Wozniak "Steve".

"Well, yes, Steve!" Yu Jingqiu nodded and smiled.

Li Zetian said to Wozniak: "The development of the Apple-l model personal computer has been completed by 4/5, and the last 1/5 will be handed over to you and Zhang Han. I will first design the appearance of the Apple-l model." Alright, let’s choose a cooperative manufacturer and ask them to produce a few samples. If you want to sell something, you must have good packaging!” At this moment, Li Zetian turned to look at Yu Jingqiu, “Jingqiu, just check it out. Look up the phone book and ask if there is any factory in San Jose that is well-made and the price is not expensive!" The phone book is the most frequently read guide book for Americans. When Jobs was 12 years old, he found the number of the boss of HP through the phone book. I called him to ask for parts, and got a summer internship opportunity by the way.A list of all the companies in San Jose can be found in the phone book, even breaking down what they do, so it's not too difficult to find.

"What materials are used for the main computer case and monitor?" Yu Jingqiu asked.

"Galvanized steel! It looks like this, high-end atmosphere and high-grade!!!"

"But the cost will be much higher than plastic materials!" Yu Jingqiu said.

"We sell high-end products!"

"OK, all right."

Li Zetian has already designed the shape of the Apple-l model countless times in his mind, so his drawing speed is very fast, and he completed it in one night. The appearance is simple, elegant, beautiful and ergonomic. The main box is a very delicate cuboid The box only has a power button, a reset button and a disk drive. A small display is placed on the chassis, which supports external keyboards, printers and other external devices.Of course, the interior is also designed with an all-metal structure. The hardware distribution is quite layered and highly integrated. For computer enthusiasts who like to disassemble, it has a pleasing feeling.

The next day, Yu Jingqiu contacted a factory and asked them to make 5 complete machine casings according to Li Zetian's design drawings.

On August 8th, five casings of the complete machine were delivered to Apple.

That night, the development of the entire project just happened to be successfully completed!

So, Wozniak and Zhang Hao excitedly assembled the various parts of the computer.

Looking at the computer in front of them like a work of art, the two were very excited.

"Oh, that's so cool!"

"Yes!"

Compared with the very bulky computers of today, the Apple-[-] model personal computer is small and exquisite, and it is easy to like at a glance.

At this moment, Li Zetian finally breathed a sigh of relief. After so many days of hard work, he finally completed the Apple-l. He has applied for dozens of patents involved in it, which made him already cash-strapped.

When the product comes out, it is time to find a way to sell it.

The packaging is beautiful, the performance is superior, and it also comes with the most popular BASIC language. The only disadvantage is probably its price. Li Zetian set the retail price at 2000 US dollars, but this price is compared with those tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. For small computers and large computers, it is already very cheap!
Yu Jingqiu seemed to know what Li Zetian was thinking, walked over, put her arms around his neck, and said, "Are you thinking about how to sell Apple-l?"

"Yes, do you have any good suggestions?"

"The top priority, of course, is to release Apple-l to the media as soon as possible before MITS, so as to attract widespread attention!!!"

Li Zetian couldn't help laughing, Yu Jingqiu wanted to go with him.

"Jingqiu, do you understand the American media?"

Yu Jingqiu nodded and said, "I have collected some electronic and computer newspapers and magazines during this time!"

What a virtuous wife, she has thought of everything!
Li Zetian couldn't help but kissed Yu Jingqiu's little lips, and said with a smile, "We're going to take Apple-l with us tomorrow, and every media outlet will go there! I think there must be media interested in Apple-l!" !!"

"Ok!"

"Zhang Han, bring your car here early tomorrow morning, and let's go to the major media to promote our Apple-l personal computer!"

"Okay, boss!!!"

Hearing the word "boss", Li Zetian couldn't help shaking his head, return the boss?Brother has no car and no deposit, you are much richer than me...

At this time, Li Zetian turned his head to look at Wozniak, and asked: "Wozniak, at this moment, are you still unwilling to join Apple? We will develop the Apple-ll model personal computer soon." Yes, I hope you can join in this project, and join as a regular employee of Apple!!!”

Wozniak hesitated, but rejected Li Zetian's invitation again.

However, Li Zetian was overjoyed. Before persuading him to join Apple, he had always refused straightforwardly, but now he has become hesitant, which means that the time to persuade him to join Apple is not far away!

This night, everyone opened champagne to celebrate and played until very late before resting.

Yu Jingqiu was particularly overwhelmed with alcohol tonight, and became drunk after only a few glasses of wine.Li Zetian sent her to the hotel room.

Then put it on the bed, take off your shoes, and take off your coat.

Finally put on a quilt.

Li Zetian kissed Yu Jingqiu's forehead, "If you can't drink so much, don't drink so much..." There was a trace of reproach in his heartache.

"Good night, sleep well, I will pick you up tomorrow morning!"

Li Zetian got up and left Yu Jingqiu's room.

boom!
The door is closed.

Yu Jingqiu's cheeks were flushed, charming and charming, she slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the direction of the door, she laughed softly and cursed: "Everyone is like this, he doesn't know yet, what a fool..."

Li Zetian really didn't know that Yu Jingqiu was pretending to be drunk?He obviously knew that his heart was pounding as soon as he walked out of Yu Jingqiu's gate, but now is not the best time to take care of Yu Jingqiu's body.

In the movie "A Chinese Journey to the West", Fairy Zixia has such a line: "My ideal person is an unrivaled hero. One day he will wear a golden armor and holy clothes, and ride colorful auspicious clouds to marry me!"

In Li Zetian's heart, Yu Jingqiu is his fairy Zixia, and one day, he will marry Yu Jingqiu in a beautiful way!
