Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 3: Pot of Gold

Apple Computer was born in Jobs’ garage. At first, it was a partner company. After receiving the investment from Markkula, it changed to a joint-stock company. With the increase in market sales, it has grown in size and office locations. Transferred to an office building on Stevens Creek Avenue in Cupertino.

   Tang Huan drove by alone and quickly found a place.

   To be honest, Tang Huan was still a little excited to see the legendary Steve Jobs when he was young. After all, Jobs he saw at Apple's product launch conferences in his previous life was very successful, but he was also seriously ill.

   With all kinds of strange archeological thoughts in his mind, Tang Huan walked into Apple's office. 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 Jobs, and the other party pointed directly at the team of several people and asked him to wait in line at the end.

   Yes, it is estimated that he is an applicant. Tang Huan laughed and found a place to sit down, took out his notebook, and sketched out some thoughts in his mind.

  Unconsciously, all the people in the front line disappeared. Tang Huan took a deep breath, opened the door and entered the office. In addition to Jobs, there were three other people. Tang Huan recognized two of them. The well-dressed chairman of Apple Computer’s board of directors Mike Markkula, and the shy and shy design of Apple’s first and second-generation computers. The talented engineer Stephen Wozniak, the last slightly fat man should be Mike Scott, the president of Apple Computer.

   "Are there any interviews?" Markkula asked suspiciously.

"Sir, my name is Tang Huan, a student from the University of Berkeley. This time I am not here to apply, but to show you an epoch-making software product that will not take up too much time. Please trust me, it will help The sales of Apple computers have increased dramatically." He actually saw all the senior staff of Apple at one time, but it was God's help. Tang Huan was overjoyed and immediately started selling hard.

   Maybe these four people are in a good mood at this time, they are 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 are waiting to appreciate what the epoch-making significance is like." Jobs laughed.

Ignoring whether this guy is making himself happy, Tang Huan calmly invoked the interface of CGrid, and then introduced: "The excellence of Apple computers is beyond doubt, but its capabilities are far from being developed. And once my spreadsheet calculation software is installed on an Apple computer, business users can intuitively count financial, sales and inventory data, as well as student information from educational institutions. Everyone is a professional, so I don’t need to worry about it. 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 an extra pair of wings."

   Steve Jobs, who originally had a laughing expression on his face, 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 people also experienced the functions of CGrid one after another, and they nodded in praise.

  Woz looked at Tang Huan and asked curiously, "Is this a program you wrote alone? It's amazing."

   "Without your Apple computer hardware platform, CGrid would not appear, Woz, you are my technical idol. I hope we can share our experience together with the opportunity." Tang Huan said sincerely.

Woz's temper is a bit like an old naughty boy, and his character is quite kind. Tang Huan’s praise and admiration, he immediately accepted it all, and affectionately patted Tang Huan’s shoulder, "Then you join Apple, we Work together and communicate together."

   Tang Huan smiled non-committal, his eyes swept over the other three people, "Gentlemen, my software can satisfy you."

   Markkula took the lead and nodded, "It's really excellent, then how do you plan to cooperate?"

"I hope that from now on, every Apple computer can be equipped with a set of CGrid when it is shipped, for users to try for free. There are no restrictions on the functions, but the data cannot be saved to the disk. When the user wants to officially use CGrid, then it needs The payment is made at the price of one hundred dollars per set."

"Yes." Jobs, who had been frowning and thinking about something, suddenly interrupted: "We can cooperate for a month according to your ideas and see how it works, but there is a requirement that your CGrid cannot compete with other competitors during this period. Appears on your computer."

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and groaned 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 must advance me 2,000 US dollars immediately. In order to develop this program, I am economical. It’s a little difficult to turn around."

   Jobs nodded in understanding, "No problem, but you'd better come to the company to stare at CGrid every day. If there is any bug, fix it immediately."

   "Of course it can." Tang Huan immediately agreed. He thought to himself that coming to Apple to report during this period of time in the future will naturally have free computers to use, and he can't even ask for it.

"Then let's sign the contract." Jobs began to arrange for the drafting of the legal text. After watching Tang Huan leave the office with his subordinates, he exclaimed excitedly: "Everyone, I have an intuition. Wait until the end of the year, monthly sales. It will definitely break the 10,000 mark. This thing called CGrid is really imaginative."

  ...

   Ignoring how Jobs and other Apple executives talked about the stimulus effect of CGrid on computer sales, Tang Huan hurriedly left Cupertino after signing the contract and receiving an advance payment of $2,000.

Deng Lijun mentioned on the phone yesterday that the first stop of her first North American tour will be held at the Santa Monica Civic Hall in Los Angeles tonight. Tang Huan must be there anyway, and she must be decent and decent. Appeared, now with financial support, some of the methods to win women's favor can be used more easily.

   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 the flight to Los Angeles.

The performance of    began at 7:30 in the evening. When Tang Huan came backstage, Deng Lijun was making serious preparations.

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

   "Thank you." Deng Lijun smiled, looking at the handsome Tang Huan with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

   Looking at Deng Lijun in full costume, Tang Huan praised sincerely, "Lijun, you are so beautiful. I didn't want to interrupt your preparation work, but I still can't help but want to take a picture of you and leave this moment."

   Watching Tang Huan take out the camera, Deng Lijun was a little surprised, "Can you still take pictures?"

   "It's just a hobby." Tang Huan was modest in his mouth, but smiled in his heart. This time, there were so many private goods entrained in this crossing, and there are really not many things that don't.

   "After your performance is over, we will have dinner together." With Deng Lijun's cooperation, after Tang Huan took a few photos and sent out invitations, he stopped interrupting and gently exited the dressing room.

   The staff secretly looked at Tang Huan, UU reading www.uukanshu.com guessed the relationship between him and Deng Lijun.

   Deng Lijun’s singing voice is very appealing among the Chinese. Just after seven o'clock, there are no empty seats in the hall. When Deng Lijun played, there was even more applause.

   The performance of about an hour came to an end without knowing it. After interacting with the fans, Deng Lijun retreated to the backstage.

  The reluctant audience began to leave the venue one after another. Among them, two Chinese youths who looked like students did not leave the hall until the end, discussing and walking towards their car.

   "Look, isn't that Deng Lijun." A young man suddenly exclaimed in excitement.

   "Here, I haven't got my signature yet." Another young man hurriedly followed the direction of his companion's finger, just in time to see a man in the distance opening the car door for Deng Lijun thoughtfully.

   "Who is that person? Seeing that they are talking and laughing, they seem to be very close. Maybe it's not Deng Lijun's boyfriend." The young man said to himself dumbfounded.

   "Four days later, there will be another concert in San Francisco. I'll know if I go to see it."

   "That may not necessarily know the truth, you said, how about we broke the news to reporters, it will definitely be in broad daylight by then."

   "That's not good, the passport turmoil is enough to trouble Deng Lijun."

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

  As the car started, the dispute between the two Chinese students gradually disappeared into the night.
