Chapter 46 The Mac Shocked the Audience
Although Apple doesn't have much money, in order to recruit talents for Mac Labs, Li Zetian did not hesitate to extend his evil hand to DEC, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Xerox, etc., poaching people with high salaries!In the meantime, head to Stanford to recruit a bunch of young computer science students!
In addition, the Apple-l project is about to start preparations.

With the growing scale of Apple, Li Zetian also has to manage Microsoft, so he has no skills at all.At this time, he thought of Tian Shuai and wanted him to be the CEO of Apple.

On the night of December 12st, Li Zetian personally visited Tian Shuai at his home.

After the door opened, Tian Shuai was surprised to see that it was Li Zetian.

"Chronos, why are you here?!"

"Hehe, why don't you invite me in for a cup of coffee?" Li Zetian laughed.

"come in!"

Tian Shuai invited Li Zetian into the house, and then came to the living room.

"You sit down first, I'll make a cup of coffee."

"OK, thanks!"

After a while, the coffee was ready.

Li Zetian took the coffee, took a sip, then looked at Tian Shuai, and said, "Let's get straight to the point, the purpose of my visit this time is to ask you to be Apple's CEO!!!"

Tian Shuai had just been promoted to the general manager of Exxon Production Research, a subsidiary of the American Exxon Corporation, with a bright future. Li Zetian was very hesitant when he asked him to change jobs.

Although Apple sold nearly 3000 Apple-ls, total sales totaled less than $600 million.

But Exxon is a big international company with billions of dollars in sales!
Compared with Exxon, Apple is simply nothing!
Seeing his hesitation, Li Zetian couldn't help asking: "Tian Shuai, do you want to sell oil for the rest of your life, or do you want to follow me to change the world?"

Tian Shuai was shocked when he heard this!
He was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head to look at Li Zetian, and said firmly, "Mr.li, I decided to join Apple!!!"

Hearing this, Li Zetian smiled, stretched out his right hand, and said, "You are welcome to join!!!"

So three days later, Tian Shuai resigned from Exxon Production Research Company and officially joined Apple as CEO.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zetian established a board of directors and served as the chairman. Zhang Han, Tian Shuai, Steve Jobs, and Steve Gary Wozniak were all executive directors of the board.

As soon as Tian Shuai took office, he used what he had learned and his advanced management experience in the world's top [-] companies to immediately make drastic improvements to Apple, making Apple more formalized and more like an international enterprise! !
Half a month later, Apple has taken on a completely new look, and all departments are running freely and performing their duties.

Professionals have been invited to serve as the financial director, personnel director, etc., while Li Zetian is only the chief engineer of Apple.

At this time, the Mac Lab has recruited a total of 35 people, all of whom are elite talents.

Li Zetian felt that there were almost enough people, and decided to develop Mac computers.

On December 12th, Li Zetian asked the members of the Mac Lab to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and then held a meeting.

In the conference room, Li Zetian looked around the crowd and said loudly: "The purpose of Apple's establishment of Mac Labs is to hope that Mac Labs can become another 'weasel factory' to create the most advanced products for the company! Next, I will Let everyone know what Mac Labs is going to do!"

puff!
The slide projector is on!
A design drawing appeared on the screen. It was the Macintosh computer launched by the previous Apple Company in January 1984. However, the shape was slightly changed. Instead of being square and square, it had rounded corners and a larger display screen.In addition, the mouse has two left and right click buttons and a pulley in the middle.

Li Zetian introduced: "This is the Mac computer I designed! The mainframe and monitor are one piece. As for the keyboard, I won't talk about it. Everyone must be wondering what this thing is!" Li Zetian pointed to the mouse and said, "This is called a mouse. , is an indicator tool, the right hand holds the mouse to control its movement, and the left and right buttons can click on files and other functions, and the pulley in the middle can move the page up and down. Everyone will be very confused, what is the mouse used for? , it seems that the operating system we use doesn’t need these things at all! Okay, next, let’s look at the most important thing in Mac computers—the graphical user operating system!!!”

After speaking, the slide projector flashed for a while, and then a new pattern appeared on the big screen, which was the interface of the graphical user operating system.

When seeing this interface, everyone shouted "Wow!"
At this time, the slide projector was still playing new patterns non-stop, showing the use of a whole set of graphical interface operating system to the fullest!
During this process, everyone has been shocked!
When the slide projector ended, everyone still felt that there was still more to say!

"Okay, this is the Mac computer I designed!!!" Li Zetian forcefully pretended.

When everyone heard the words, they fell in love with Li Zetian!
In the meeting room, there was no sound for a long time, and everyone looked up at Li Zetian standing in front of the screen.

Oh God, what kind of genius does it take to design such a perfect product? ! ! !

Some female employees couldn't help admiring Li Zetian, and their eyes were full of this fiery infatuation.

Seeing that they were all in a daze, Li Zetian couldn't help "coughing" twice, and said, "What do you think?"

“Perfect!!!”

"Incomparable!!!"

"Computers that not even God could have designed!!!"

"..."

Li Zetian nodded with a smile and said, "Mac computers are great, but it is extremely difficult to develop them!"

Jobs stood up at this time, and solemnly promised Li Zetian: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I firmly believe that we will be able to develop Mac computers!!!" Jobs was already so excited that he was able to lead a team to design the Mac computer. Such an excellent product is simply an absolute honor! ! !
"Yes, we will definitely develop Mac computers!"

"..."

The members of the Mac lab echoed, everyone is full of excitement and fighting spirit!

Li Zetian nodded in satisfaction and announced, "Starting today, the Mac computer project is officially launched!"

Clap clap! ! ! !

Everyone applauded vigorously!
The applause lasted for a long time, and everyone's palms were so painful that they didn't stop.

Li Zetian smiled slightly, pretended to be aggressive, and announced the end of the meeting.

After leaving Mac Labs, Apple's affairs are almost handled.Li Zetian was about to leave for Harvard University.It is almost Christmas, and Bill Gates has not promised Li Zetian to join Microsoft.Therefore, Li Zetian decided to come to Harvard University to persuade him before the winter vacation! ! !
If Microsoft does not have Bill Gates, it may be difficult to get on the big ship of IBM...
