giants of the era

Chapter 38 The more setbacks the more courageous!

Under the ridicule of everyone, the three of Li Zetian left the "Times Weekly" magazine in despair. Zhang Hao held the Apple-l machine and said to Li Zetian: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, the machine was burned. The biggest problem may be Appeared on the power supply, and this one is in charge of me..."

Li Zetian didn't care, smiled, and said: "It's nothing, isn't it just a small bug? Let's go back and study it carefully, and we can definitely solve this problem!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao was very moved. He thought that Li Zetian would reprimand him severely because he messed up the matter this time, but unexpectedly, instead of reprimanding him, Li Zetian encouraged him instead!
"I will definitely solve this problem!!!" Zhang Hao said to himself firmly in his heart.

Yu Jingqiu watched from the side, very satisfied with Li Zetian's performance!

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that after failure, you lose your confidence and courage.

Different attitudes of business owners in dealing with employee failures will result in two completely different effects!Blindly blaming and blaming will only hurt the other party's self-confidence, make it difficult to make breakthroughs, and even cause resentment; on the contrary, if you encourage the other party, employees' self-confidence will increase, and at the same time they will be grateful, and they may make orders. A remarkable achievement! ! !
Although Li Zetian is a fledgling, he already has the temperament and chest of a leader and entrepreneur.

Back at Apple's garage headquarters, Zhang Hao and Li Zetian immediately inspected the burnt Apple-l. The power supply was indeed burned out!

The current mainstream power supply is equipped with a fan. Whenever the machine is turned on, the machine will keep buzzing.Li Zetian couldn't stand this a bit, and decided to use a fanless power supply for the Apple-l model personal computer.However, it is conceivable how difficult it is to design a fanless power supply in this era.

Zhang Han has outstanding ability and has lived up to expectations. He has indeed designed a fanless power supply, and in the previous use process, no problems have been found.However, BUG is like this. It is extremely difficult to find. It is fine to use it normally, but it pops up suddenly at a critical moment.

Of course, all things cannot be blamed on Zhang Hao alone. Li Zetian also made mistakes. The fault is that he is too young, inexperienced, and eager for success. Electronic products usually have to go through hundreds or even thousands of hours. test.However, Apple-l does not do this kind of testing.Of course, there are reasons for this. After all, testing requires time and money. Firstly, Li Zetian has no funds, and secondly, he has competitors like MITS, so he is eager to promote the product.In a short period of time, it is normal that the bug cannot be detected.

"Fortunately, the product is not on the market, so let's redesign the power supply and optimize the Apple-l's circuit board!" Li Zetian said to Zhang Han.

"Ok!"

Zhang Han nodded heavily in response, making up his mind that he must design a perfect fanless power supply! ! !
That night, Wozniak learned that there was a problem with Apple-l, so he rushed over and joined the research together.

This night, everyone stayed up all night.

Yu Jingqiu also refused to go back to the hotel, saying that she wanted to accompany everyone, and at the same time prepared some supper for everyone.

After a night of discussion and research, everyone finally decided to abandon the use of traditional linear power supplies, but to create a switching power supply used in oscilloscopes and other instruments. The number of times this power supply can be turned on and off can be increased from 60 to thousands of times. Thereby reducing the calorific value of Apple-I power supply.

This idea was proposed by Zhang Hao, and Wozniak was shocked, "Kevin Zhang, you should be famous in history, this power supply design is a revolutionary invention!!!"

Zhang Han smiled, and finally lived up to Li Zetian's trust in him!

Li Zetian patted Zhang Han on the shoulder, didn't say anything, everything was in silence.On the same day, Li Zetian applied for this patent. In the future, the fanless power supplies of major manufacturers will basically be based on this design method.

……

When August 8th arrived, Li Zetian urged Yu Jingqiu to return to school. He didn't plan to go back. The current career was at a critical moment, and he must not lose the chain anymore.As for whether Harvard University will expel him or what, Li Zetian doesn't care.

"I don't want to go back to school. Seeing you working overtime day and night to develop Apple-l, I want to stay and help you!" Yu Jingqiu held Li Zetian's arm and begged.

"Resolutely not!" Li Zetian refused. Although he was very reluctant to leave Jing Qiu, he was even less willing to see her stay here and endure hardships with him.These days, Yu Jingqiu often stays up late, and Yu Jingqiu looks a lot haggard.

"Be obedient, when you graduate from university, if you want to come, I will never stop you." Li Zetian caressed Yu Jingqiu's hair, and his tone became very gentle again.

Yu Jingqiu nodded, "Okay...but," at this moment, she took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Li Zetian, saying, "There is 10 US dollars in this card, you must keep it, the card number and password It's my birthday!"

To be honest, the burning of the power supply is indeed a big blow and lesson for Li Zetian, especially the capital chain will face great pressure! ! !
In fact, Li Zetian is almost at the end of his rope.

However, the supply of spare parts, processing and production, advertising investment, etc. all need money. When he thinks of these, he often has sleepless nights!His current source of income is the copyright of "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant". However, after a while, a song gradually dies down, which can only bring Li Ze very little income.The second is the publication of "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "White Night Journey". However, the Times Literature Publishing House founded by his father Li Chengzhi is also a start-up company with a very limited circulation and little money. They were all used to subsidize the publishing house.

Therefore, Li Zetian's current income is almost equal to zero income.

Looking at the $10 bank card that Yu Jingqiu handed over, how could Li Zetian have the nerve to take his girlfriend's money?
Yu Jingqiu said: "Zetian, shouldn't you ask the closest person for help when you are in the most difficult time? Am I not your closest person?"

Li Zetian nodded: "You are my closest person, but this money..."

Yu Jingqiu raised her head, covered Li Zetian's with her own mouth, interrupted him, and said after letting go: "Since I am your closest person, why do you share with each other! So, my money is yours." Money! If you don’t take this bank card, you will treat me as an outsider, and I will be angry!!!”

"Okay, I'll take it!!!"

Li Zetian reached out to take the bank card, feeling deeply moved.

Seeing Li Zetian accepting the bank card, Yu Jingqiu happily kissed Li Zetian's mouth again, and said, "Then I'm getting on the plane, take care of yourself, don't always stay up late at night, your health is important!!!"

"Ok!"

Li Zetian responded, and then watched Yu Jingqiu leave until her figure disappeared.

At this moment, he lowered his head and looked at the bank card that still had Yu Jingqiu's body temperature and fragrance in his hand. Suddenly, Li Zetian felt that this thin bank card was extraordinarily heavy...

"Don't worry, Jingqiu, I will never be defeated by setbacks, I will definitely succeed!!!"
