Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 22: Hollywood girl star

   Every time Steve Jobs used his Grand Summoning technique to pull Tang Huan into the copy of Apple's office, there were good reasons, and this time was no exception. For Tang Huan's plan for next year's billionaires, he can only choose to accept it.

Jobs seemed to have listened to the graphical user interface suggestion, but for ridiculous reasons that he was secretly unhappy with Tang Huan, he did not take immediate action, but Xerox took the initiative to send it to the door recently, and its investment department took a fancy to Apple’s Financing plan, want to buy 1 million US dollars of stock at the price of 10 US dollars per share.

   In addition to money, Apple’s financing activities must also consider the added value that investors can bring, such as personal connections. Although Xerox is an established company, Jobs really didn’t take it into consideration.

During the evaluation of whether to accept this investment, an Apple employee named Jeff Raskin began to try to persuade Jobs to pay attention to Xerox’s Palo Alto R&D center PARC. Unfortunately, Jobs looked at it. Skin was not pleasing to the eye, thinking that he was an unbearable theorist. In Jobs's original words, Ruskin was a "terrible idiot", so Ruskin's words were directly ignored by Jobs.

Ruskin, who was once a professor, is now in charge of a research and development project code-named "Annie". The goal is to create a low-cost "mass computer" like household appliances, and this equipment will integrate computers, keyboards, All the functions of the display and software, and more importantly, must have a graphical interface.

   It is for this reason that Ruskin tried to persuade Jobs to pay attention to PARC, but obviously, his efforts failed. However, Ruskin did not give up. He found Bill Atkinson, who had a mentorship with him, and let this former student come to save the country.

In Jobs’ world view of “not a genius or an idiot,” Atkinson undoubtedly belonged to the genius and was worthy of his admiration. So Jobs began to pay attention to this suggestion and thought of Tang Huan, although this is also a genius, but But he couldn't become his own guy through brainwashing.

   "There is no hesitation, there are things we need in PARC. After visiting, you will definitely not regret it." Tang Huan said solemnly.

In fact, Tang Huan also yearned for PARC. The various descriptions in his previous life and Simeone’s introduction could not satisfy his curiosity. Only by seeing it in person can he achieve his wish, and he might be able to resemble it. Just like Jobs, he took away some valuable things from PARC.

   Seeing that Tang Huan said so resolutely, Jobs finally made the decision, picked up the phone and dialed, and said very domineeringly: "If you are willing to break the mystery of Xerox PARC, I agree to your investment of 1 million US dollars."

   The other party immediately agreed, but replied that he needed to communicate with PARC, and Jobs hung up the phone impatiently.

   The deal was finalized. Xerox agreed to show Apple its new technology. In return, they bought 100,000 shares of Apple at a price of $10 per share.

Tang Huan was delighted to have witnessed this process with his own eyes. He also secretly took a pity for Xerox. It is true that one year later, with the listing of Apple, the US$1 million became US$17.6 million, but it was for Apple in the end. The wedding dress. Nima, who invested so much resources in PARC, in the end, many research and development results have become profitable products for other companies, which is simply too noble, and afterwards, Jobs did not appreciate it.

   "Let's go, Tang, let's go to Apple's new product research and development office to follow the progress of the project, so that your supporting office software can keep up with them." Jobs sent out an invitation.

   Tang Huan nodded. According to the original history, Apple's third-generation machine was a failure. He really needs to evaluate it at any time, and can't let his Zerone waste too many resources and fall into the pit.

   But Tang Huan was obviously wrong. Jobs took him directly to the Lisa project team. Yes, the name of this project was his daughter's name.

The recent lawsuit with his ex-girlfriend Brennan for child support has been settled. Jobs thoroughly wiped out potential personal property risks before the company went public, but it seems that some subtle changes have taken place in his heart. This is the name of the project.

   The head of the Lisa project team is the former HP engineer John Kutcher, and Atkinson is also in the R&D team, which shows how much Jobs attaches importance to.

   Lisa Computer is positioned as a commercial computer priced at $2,000. Compared with the 8-bit microprocessor used in Apple's second-generation machine, it has improved specifications and uses a 16-bit CPU.

   After the visit, Jobs pretended to be relaxed and asked, "What do you think of Lisa Computer?"

   Tang Huan nodded, turned around and walked out of the office, and then said to Jobs who was following him, "This is just a fairly modest computer. After you have visited PARC, you will know what I said is true."

  As soon as he heard this, Jobs's face suddenly turned dark, and Tang Huan was too lazy to pay attention to it. He left here and went directly to the project research and development area of ​​Apple's third-generation machine.

Because Jobs strictly limited the size and shape of the chassis at the beginning, and refused anyone to modify it, it can now be seen that the components on the circuit board of Apple's third-generation machine are very crowded, and the heat dissipation conditions are destined to be bad. In the past, because of the circuit The hidden danger of computer failure caused by overheating of the board is unavoidable.

   Tang Huan shook his head secretly, this fellow Jobs is really a misfortune.

   At present, Apple’s internal situation is roughly the same. Apple’s second-generation machine sales are booming, but the development of subsequent products appears to be very weak, and due to Jobs’ restlessness, the company’s management is also chaotic from time to time.

   In short, the strong intervention of Tang Huan, a rebirth, only brought the gold-absorbing ability of Apple's second-generation machine to a higher level, and Apple's general trend is still developing along the original historical trajectory.

In this way, when Apple successfully goes public next year and Tang Huan cashes out and leaves, Apple will not become an overly powerful opponent. Now, in addition to continuing to **** Apple’s second-generation machines, and pushing up Apple’s In addition to the market value, there is no need to spend too much energy on its internal affairs.

After Tang Huan summarized his relationship with Apple, he was about to leave. Jobs walked over again with a smile like a face change in a Sichuan opera. "Tang, the marketing advertisement you suggested last time is being shot, Brooke ·Xiaosi and Judy Foster are there, and the little Canadian girl you recommended. Let’s go see the fun together."

   It’s not surprising that Jobs was so excited. After all, he was young and rich. In addition, in the original history, Jobs was a gangster when he was young, and he had entangled with singers and writers. For men, there is nothing wrong with having a bit of capital.

   Tang Huan was also aroused, so the two came together in a rare and harmonious relationship.

  ...

   Standing outside the shooting scene, you can see the two most eye-catching beautiful girls, Brooke Shields and Judy Foster, Celine, a little girl from the country, directly dazzling everyone.

   Steve Jobs grunted and swallowed, his eyes glowing hot.

   Tang Huan felt a little strange when he saw this. In his memory, Jobs's ** taste was not so keen on small meats. Could it be that he had a wide range of interests and was not picky when he was young?

Brooke Shields has Italian, French, Irish, and British aristocratic ancestry. Her grandmother is an Italian princess. Although she is only a 14-year-old girl, she is tall and can already see the clues of the amorous feelings. No wonder she was later Touted as the standard of beauty in the 1980s, it was even hailed as the "eighth wonder" of the world by Hollywood.

   In fact, the glory of this little girl is entirely attributed to the star-making movement of her shrewd mother. She was 11 months old and shot an advertisement for soap. Almost all her life is carried out under the camera for media hype.

Last year, Brooke Shields played the role of a child prostitute in the film "Pretty Baby", and he entered the film industry, but he and Judy, who also had a background in commercials, and acted as a child prostitute in the 1976 "Taxi Driver" · Foster has a similar experience, but the latter won the Oscar nomination for best supporting actress. .

   In the original time and space, Brooke Shields was very famous, but she still couldn't get rid of the label of the vase. What impresses people is nothing but lace news about the so-called love affair with Michael Jackson of all kinds of high society suitors. However, Judy Foster has made remarkable achievements. The 1989 "Robbery Pear Flower" released in 1989 earned her the 61st Oscar for Best Actress Award. The "Silent Lambs" released in 1991 won her second Oscar for Best Actress.

   Jobs squeezed his eyes at Tang Huan and made a gesture that a man understands, "Hey, man, which one do you like?"

   Yes, one is a vase and the other is a talented woman. Which one is better?

However, Tang Huan feels that there is no need to spend too much time on the choice. No matter which one is used, he can quickly get in touch with the Hollywood circle and emerge in the American fashion industry, which is conducive to promoting his products, just like his previous life. Ry Jobs did that for the iPhone.

Moreover, in the future of these two people, the former will become a socialite, and the latter will become a homosexual. They must have a thorough understanding of the relationship between men and women. They will not turn their faces and become enemies after they pull the bird and leave. Feelings, it's not a bad idea to heal your emotional injury.

During the filming process, Brooke Shields looked energetic and very attractive, while Judy Foster was a little arrogant, and her appearance was not as beautiful as Brooke Shields, but she had outstanding temperament and unique flavor. .

   When Tang Huan set his sights on Foster, he remembered that this woman had also been involved in a huge whirlpool of public opinion by assassinating President Reagan because her fans wanted to please her idol.

   Well, these histories are too much to write about.

   "Hurry up, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, which one do you like?" Jobs urged.

   Tang Huan had discovered long ago that Jobs was surreptitiously observing and studying himself on the surface, and he was always seeing himself as an opponent.

   "You pick first, I'm free." Tang Huan smiled faintly, and at the same time slandered, picking a fur. Didn't you see that these two girls have the role of family assistants, are they standing not far away? The caregiver is so tight, there is room for it now.

Tang Huan ignored the noise of Jobs, his eyes fell to the camera, and he couldn't help being taken aback. Isn't this James Cameron, who has filmed "Terminator", "Titanic" and "Avatar"? How come here? It's an advertisement.

However, Tang Huan was relieved immediately. This guy saw Lucas’s "Star Wars" two years ago. After being deeply shaken, he resolutely switched from a truck driver. He is still not developed yet, so naturally there is no shelf and various activities. It's about to be picked up.

   Cameron will make movies and play special effects in the future. He has his own special effects team. This is a big potential customer for his IT products. No, he must find an opportunity to meet and win.

Ever since, Jobs, who had been secretly observing Tang Huan’s likes and dislikes, was stunned to find that Tang Huan actually ignored the beauty in front of him, and became apparently interested in the director behind the camera. He couldn’t help but squeeze the chrysanthemum and fought a cold war. The opponent is really hard to deal with.

   Tang Huan glanced at the nervous Steve Jobs in surprise, and walked into the set.

   It's time for a break at this time. Celine was a little restrained during the filming process, and Cameron was giving directions to his fellow Canadians.
