At this time, he found that he had been covered with a thin quilt at some point. It must have been covered by Gillian or Amei when they saw him sleeping here and were afraid that he would catch a cold.
Su Cheng yawned, put the quilt aside, stood up and took the mobile phone.
I took a look at the phone number. It was not local. Looking at the area code, it should be a call from the beautiful country.
Looking at the time, it was now about five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, it should be about two o'clock in the morning in the beautiful country. Who would call him so late at night?
Although he was a little confused, Su Cheng still pressed the answer button: "Hello, I am Su Cheng."
"Mr. Su, this is Steve Jobs, am I disturbing you?" Jobs's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Su Cheng remembered that Jobs had only come to Xiangjiang in early July, and negotiated a deal with him to exchange shares for technology.
It has only been more than three months. Why did he call Su City at this time?
"No, I'm not busy right now. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Jobs?" Su Cheng lay down on the recliner with his mobile phone and asked.
“That’s right, Mr. Su, our team has been relying on the technology provided by Oracle Computer Company and the help of Tianqiong Semiconductor Company for more than three months. Today, we successfully developed a A computer that's just like us, Apple.
We originally planned to develop our second-generation Apple computer based on the first-generation Apple computer and combined with new technologies.
But after returning to Beautiful Country from Xiangjiang, I thought a lot on the way and felt that there was no advantage in doing so.
If you want to succeed, you must be innovative!
So, I had the idea of developing a portable computer.
After returning to the beautiful country, I talked about this matter with my R&D colleagues. They thought it was feasible, so we started R&D. Today, the portable computer in our minds was finally born.
In my opinion, it is an invention that transcends the times. Its biggest highlight is a portable computer. We try to reduce the size of the computer components and combine the host, screen and keyboard into one. Stored in is a large battery that lasts for half an hour.
During this period, engineers from Tianqiong Semiconductor Company helped us a lot. We originally thought that the first product would not meet our requirements. But after the finished product came out, we were surprised to find that this new product The whole team is very satisfied with the product.
Mr. Su, I really want to show it to you right away to see our new work. I believe Mr. Su will be absolutely shocked by our invention if he sees it! "Jobs said excitedly.
Hearing what Jobs said, Su Cheng's first reaction was, isn't this a laptop?
He even wanted to say "f*ck" Say it.
This Steve Jobs is indeed the son of luck in the business world.
Such products can be thought up for them in advance.
Su Cheng originally planned to wait a few years to share the idea of the notebook and let Oracle Computer design it.
As for now, let’s fix the computer on the desk first.
What I didn’t expect was that Apple, seeing that it was lagging far behind in desktop computers, actually thought of a way to overtake in a corner.
Awesome, so awesome.
Moreover, it was developed in just over three months.
No wonder Jobs called him so late. It is estimated that Jobs couldn't sleep tonight.
They must be overly excited to develop such an era-changing product.
Laptop computers must be a must-have in business life. By then, their sales volume will not be bad just relying on such products. Moreover, Apple has always had a good reputation in beautiful countries and has many fans.
At this time, by launching such a product, they will have the strength to stand out among many computer companies.
Sucheng suddenly felt that exchanging technical support for 30% of their shares was a great deal.
With so many technological products in the future, Su City will certainly not be able to produce them all.
But it would be great to have Apple come out to help.
Anyway, now he is Apple's largest shareholder.
It’s just that I don’t know what this product looks like. Just through Jobs’s simple description, Su Cheng couldn’t imagine what this product looked like.
"Mr. Jobs, are you at home now?" Su Cheng asked.
“No, Mr. Su, I am still in the company now, not just me, Steve Gary Wozniak, Michael Scott, Mike Markkula and other major companies Members are all in the company. After the finished product was successfully developed today, we have been using this product and trying to continue to improve it.
But currently, this product has reached the standards for release. Tonight, We don’t plan to go home. We are going to have a meeting later to discuss how to release this era-changing product. Mr. Su, it is a pity that you were not able to witness the birth of our product, but as one of the bosses of the company, I I must tell you this news immediately!”
Jobs' tone was full of pride and excitement.
"In that case, please send me photos of the products via fax machine. I can't wait to see your new products." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay Mr. Su, there happens to be a fax machine in the R&D room." Jobs agreed directly.
Anyway, in Jobs’ view, they will announce this new product immediately, and Apple has already found professionals to prepare to apply for patents from mainstream countries or regions around the world. There is nothing wrong with announcing the appearance of the product. question.
So Su Cheng gave Jobs the number of the fax machine in the study on the third floor.
Ten minutes later, Su Cheng successfully obtained a picture of the product.
This portable computer was very different from the notebook Su Cheng had in mind. For him, the first impression it gave him was that it was very bulky.
Compared with traditional desktop computers, the host chassis is indeed much smaller, and it is integrated with the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there is a display screen of about seven inches, which can be moved up and down. , it can be opened up to 130 degrees. After the display is closed, this product looks like a suitcase, and they also specially designed a wooden handle for easy carrying.
After closing it, it is indeed easy to carry when going out.
Although Su Cheng thought this product was ordinary at first sight, he knew that it was because he was used to the thin and light notebooks of later generations.
However, such a product is already a cross-generational product in this era.
After seeing the photos, Su Cheng called Jobs back.
"Mr. Su, how do you feel? Does it look good?" Before Su Cheng could speak, Jobs couldn't wait to ask. (End of this chapter)
