Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Apple Computer Company was born in the garage of Jobs’ family. At first it was a partnership company. After receiving the investment from Markkula, it changed into a joint-stock company. With the increase in market sales performance, the scale grew and expanded. The office location Moved to an office building on Stevens Creek Boulevard in Cupertino.

Tang Huan drove here alone and found the place quickly.

To be honest, Tang Huan was a little excited to be able to see the legendary Jobs when he was young. After all, the Jobs he met at the Apple product launch conference in his previous life was also seriously ill despite his success.

Tang Huan walked into Apple's office with all kinds of strange archaeological thoughts in his mind. Although the company's development prospects are promising, the office environment is still very simple, and even the work process is not so rigid. Tang Huan said that he came to find Jobs, and the other party directly pointed to the line of several people and asked him to wait in the back line.

Well, he probably regarded himself as an applicant. Tang Huan found a seat and sat down dumbfounded, took out his notebook, and sketched some thoughts in his heart.

Before he knew it, all the people in front of him had left. Tang Huan took a deep breath, opened the door and entered the office. In addition to Jobs, there were three other people inside, and Tang Huan recognized two of them, Mike Markkula, the chairman of the board of directors of Apple Computer, who was well-dressed and gentlemanly, and the designer of Apple's first and second-generation computers with a slovenly expression. Or the genius engineer Stephen Wozniak, and the last one who is slightly fatter should be Mike Scott, the president of Apple Computer.

Are there still interviews? Markkula asked suspiciously.

Sir, my name is Tang Huan, a student at Berkeley University. I am here not to apply for a job, but to show you an epoch-making software product that will not take up too much time. Please believe me, it will help The sales of Apple computers have increased greatly. It was God's help to meet all the high-level personnel of Apple at one time, and Tang Huan was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately began to sell hard.

Perhaps the four of them were in a good mood at this time, and they were not displeased by Tang Huan's reckless behavior.

Markkula said with interest: What kind of software is so powerful?

Tang Huan took out a disk and pointed to an Apple computer on the table, Can I use it?

Of course, we're waiting to appreciate what epochal significance looks like. Jobs laughed.

Regardless of whether this guy was making fun of himself, Tang Huan called up the interface of CGrid in a leisurely manner, and then introduced: There is no doubt that Apple Computer is excellent, but its capabilities are far from being developed. And once my spreadsheet calculation software is installed on Apple computers, business users can count financial, sales and inventory data very intuitively, and student information in educational institutions is no problem. You are all professionals, so I don’t think I need to If you say more, you should also understand how different the value of CGrid is from those calculators and game programs. With the help of CGrid, Apple Computer is equivalent to having an extra pair of wings.”

Jobs, who was originally smiling, immediately became serious after seeing a series of demonstrations by Tang Huan. He walked to the computer and operated it himself, and then fell into thinking.

The other three also experienced the functions of CGrid one after another, and they all nodded in praise.

Woz looked at Tang Huan and asked curiously, Did you write this program by yourself? It's amazing.

Without your Macintosh hardware platform,

CGrid will not appear either, Woz, you are my technical idol, I hope we can exchange ideas together if we have the opportunity. Tang Huan said sincerely.

Woz's temper is a bit like an old urchin, and his character is quite kind. He immediately accepted Tang Huan's praise and admiration, and patted Tang Huan's shoulder affectionately, Then you join Apple, we Work and communicate together.”

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, and glanced at the other three, Gentlemen, my software can satisfy you.

Markkula nodded first, It is indeed excellent, so how do you plan to cooperate?

I hope that from now on, every Apple computer will be equipped with a set of CGrid when it is shipped, for users to try for free. There is no limit to the functions, but the data cannot be saved to the disk. Pay at a price of one hundred dollars per set.

Yes. Jobs, who had been frowning and thinking about something, suddenly interrupted: We can cooperate with you for a month according to your idea and see how the effect is, but there is a requirement that your CGrid cannot be used by other competitors during this period. appear on your computer.

Tang Huan raised his brows and pondered for a moment, As you wish, I agree, but I also have a request. The sales of the software will be settled once a week, and I will be paid an advance of 2,000 US dollars immediately. In order to develop this program, I have no financial resources. It’s a little difficult to turn around.”

Jobs nodded understandingly, No problem, but you'd better come to the company every day to stare at CGrid, and if there are any bugs, fix them immediately.

Of course. Tang Huan immediately agreed. He thought to himself that if he came to Apple to report in the future, he would naturally have a free computer, which he wished for.

Then let's sign the contract. Jobs began to arrange for manpower to draft legal documents, and after watching Tang Huan leave the office with his men, he shouted excitedly: Everyone, I have a hunch that by the end of the year, the monthly sales It will definitely break through the 10,000-unit mark, this thing called CGrid is really imaginative.”

...

Regardless of how Steve Jobs and other Apple executives talked about the stimulating effect of CGrid on computer sales, Tang Huan left Cupertino in a hurry after signing the contract and receiving an advance payment of 2,000 US dollars.

Deng Lijun mentioned on the phone yesterday that the first stop of her first North American tour will be held tonight at the Civic Hall in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. Tang Huan must be there no matter what, and she must be present Now that there is financial support, some methods of winning women's favor are more easily used.

Tang Huan first dressed himself up to look young and promising, then went to the store to buy a camera with good performance, and then set off, rushed to the airport, and boarded a flight to Los Angeles.

The performance started at 7:30 pm. When Tang Huan came backstage, Deng Lijun was seriously preparing.

Li Jun, I wish you a successful performance tonight. Tang Huan sent flowers affectionately.

Thank you. Deng Lijun smiled all over her face, looking at the handsome Tang Huan with admiration in her eyes.

Looking at Deng Lijun, who was in full dress, Tang Huan admired sincerely, Lijun, you are so beautiful. I didn't want to disturb your preparations, but I couldn't help but want to take a photo of you and save this moment.

Seeing Tang Huan take out the camera, Deng Lijun was a little surprised, Do you still know how to take pictures?

It's just a hobby. Tang Huan said modestly, but secretly smiled in his heart. There are so many private goods in this time travel, and there are not many things he doesn't know.

After your performance is over, let's have dinner together. With Deng Lijun's cooperation, Tang Huan took a few photos and sent out an invitation, then stopped bothering and quietly exited the dressing room.

The staff all looked at Tang Huan secretly, guessing the relationship between him and Deng Lijun.

Deng Lijun's singing has a huge appeal among Chinese people. Just after seven o'clock, the auditorium is full of seats. When Deng Lijun appeared on the stage, the applause was even more thunderous.

The performance of about an hour came to an end unconsciously. Deng Lijun retreated to the backstage after interacting with the fans.

The reluctant audience began to leave the venue one after another. Among them, two Chinese youths who looked like students remained unsatisfied until the end before leaving the auditorium, talking and walking towards their car.

Look, isn't that Deng Lijun? A young man suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

There, I haven't got my signature yet. Another young man hurriedly looked in the direction of his companion's finger, just in time to see a man in the distance open the car door considerately for Deng Lijun.

Who is that person? Judging by the way they are chatting and laughing happily, they seem to be very close. He must not be Deng Lijun's boyfriend. The young man was dumbfounded and said to himself.

Four days later, there will be a concert in San Francisco, and we will know when we go to see it.

That doesn't mean we can know the truth. You say, how about we break the news to the reporters, and it will definitely be clear by then.

Isn't that good? The passport turmoil is enough to worry Deng Lijun.

How can the psychological quality of these big stars be as bad as you imagine...

As the car started, the arguing sounds of the two Chinese students gradually disappeared into the night.
