Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"Everything is fine." Woz smiled and sighed softly after answering, "It's Steve that makes people uncomfortable."

It turns out that this unhappiness is actually related to Jobs' new relationship, which is really dumbfounding.

When dealing with Regis McKenna earlier, Jobs met Barbara Yasinski, an employee of McKenna Public Relations, a beauty with Polynesian and Polish descent.

The two of them went to a concert together like glue, vacationed in Hawaii, and lived together in the Santa Cruz Mountains. But Jobs was inevitably tired of playing in the end, so he just changed a girlfriend in the music industry, named Joan Baez.

Compared with Barbara Yasinski, Joan Baez is a very famous figure. She is a very famous folk singer in the United States. In particular, Joan Baez is also an active social activist and is an anti-Vietnam war. Pioneer.

But there is one thing. Joan Baez was born in 1941 and is now 41 years old, while Jobs, who was born in 1955, is only 27 years old this year.

In addition, Joan Baez has a son born to her ex-husband, anti-war activist David Harris, who is in his 10s.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, no matter how beautiful and humorous Joan Baez is, the billionaire Steve Jobs talks to her about friends, it is a bit out of touch.

In the eyes of friends who are familiar with Jobs, the reason why Jobs fell in love with Joan Baez is that Joan Baez was once the lover of the famous rock and roll singer Bob Dylan he admired. Jobs likes this kind of relationship with Bob Dylan. Dylan's "association".

This is really intriguing. Hearing Tang Huan frowned.

"Steve went to the office of the festival organizing committee to show off in front of his new girlfriend. Thanks to the rich experience of the assistants you arranged, he was able to continue according to the original plan." Woz said happily. .

"Since Steve likes this music festival so much, he will invest in funding. Otherwise, he is not qualified to be jerky." Tang Huan shook his head disapprovingly.

Woz hurriedly waved his hand, "Don, don't let Steve get involved, or it will be messed up. If the festival is less expensive, I am willing to continue to fund it."

"Looking at what scared you, I just said it casually." Looking at Woz's frightened look. Tang Huan couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, the reason why I am looking for you in such a hurry is that I was entrusted by Mike to inquire about your attitude." After talking about it for a while, Woz remembered the business of the trip.

"The research and development of Lisa Computer has been completed. However, there is a significant gap between the existing applications and the current market demand, and there is still a lack of an appealing king program in commercial software. Mike's point is, can philosopher use the developed set Software, including electronic forms, was ported to the Lisa platform."

"This question..." Tang Huan pondered for a long time without giving an answer immediately.

The friendship belongs to the friendship, but in Apple's products, Tang Huan can also take a fancy to, although this thing is not the most advanced. But the victory is that it is durable, and the targeted market is complementary to the second-generation Fangyuan computer, and it has the value of winning.

In contrast, the Lisa computer project started in 1978. It is developed by John Kutcher from Hewlett-Packard and led by a group of professional engineers. The goal is the same. It is the corporate market, which is the main site of Fangyuan Computer.

In addition, after Steve Jobs started stealing. He took the graphical user interface he saw into the Lisa project team abruptly. And began to force the Serbs to seize power.

Because of the market failure, Markkula and Scott, who had not resigned at the time, were scared. Worried that Jobs would bring the Lisa project team into the ditch again, at the request of John Kutcher, he jointly expelled Jobs from the Lisa project team.

Although Jobs was driven away, the impact he left behind was not so easy to eliminate. The entire Lisa project was equivalent to being overthrown and starting over again, and the previous efforts were wasted.

For these reasons, the Lisa project team has strong vigilance and xenophobia from top to bottom, and they can’t wait for all user needs to be fulfilled in their own hands. Partners like Tang Huan have no chance at all.

The cooperation with Zheru is very close, even if it fails, Zheru has participated in the software development on its platform early, but Lisa and Zheru completely excluded.

Of course, Apple can imagine that philosophers will be separated from themselves because of this.

Now that Lisa’s computer is ripe, Apple suddenly found that its development strength in commercial software is not enough to do a big job, so it remembered to squeeze it.

When you are a philosopher, you are a rag, you use it or throw it away?

You know, now that Tang Huan has full wings, there is no need to wrong himself and accommodate others.

Seeing Tang Huan’s low enthusiasm, Woz waved his hand indifferently, “You take your time to decide, anyway, Mike told me about this on the phone. He and his wife are on vacation in the Caribbean.”

"Then it depends on the situation." Tang Huan muttered in his heart, "This guy Markkula doesn't care about it himself, and he counts on others to reach out," and then vaguely declined.

...

Unexpectedly, the next day, Jobs brought the Lisa project leader John Kutcher to find him in person.

Tang Huan glanced at them in surprise, and said to his heart that the two men had fought so hard in the Lisa project team, how come they have now come together.

"Mike is not here, I have to worry about the affairs of other departments of Apple." Seeing Tang Huan made no secret of his doubts, Jobs gave a rare patient explanation.

"Apple really needs a full-time CEO." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "How about the candidate you are looking for? Or, I'm going to give it a bit?"

"Apple can't afford you, I have almost found people." Jobs turned dark. Quickly waved his hand and quickly changed the topic, "Lisa Computer has completed the research and development, and is currently looking for third-party software developers to cooperate to enrich the platform applications. Zheru has been with Apple for so long. It should be the first time to get this. opportunity."

Tang Huan let out a cry, slowly took a sip of water from the cup, and then there was no more information.

"What do you mean, hurry up and give a nice word." Jobs urged impatiently.

"I don't mean anything, what can I mean?" Tang Huan spread his hands indifferently.

"I see, you are not interested. Are you." Jobs snorted angrily. "In addition to philosophers, we have other options, such as Microsoft."

"You threaten me with this kind of thing, is it interesting?" Tang Huan glanced at Jobs with a smile.

Jobs without showing weakness. Just about to sneer, I suddenly remembered that Microsoft had been secretly pulled over to develop business office software by himself. How could I have the resources to be busy with Lisa.

"You see, Don thinks Lisa's business is not worth doing. In this case, I can't help it." After Jobs dropped this sentence to John Couch, he got up and walked away.

Tang Huan didn't think he laughed, he said that when Jobs was lobbying, he was too careless. It seems that the Lisa project will become a stepmother's child again compared to the project belonging to the direct line.

Jobs left, but John Kutcher did not. He sighed bitterly, "I can see that Jobs is not sincere at all to talk about things, Lisa computer is always a thorn in his heart."

"If I think so much, I will worry about it. Since Lisa Computer has fallen to the ground, the old grievances. There is no point in mentioning it." Tang Huan casually comforted.

He remembered that in the original time and space, John Kutcher left Apple in the 1980s. But a few years after Jobs returned to Apple, the dude also played for Apple again. As the vice president, it can be seen that he finally succumbed to Jobs. In contrast, the knot in front of me is a bit ridiculous.

"The Lisa computer is ahead of the advent. For this reason, Jobs, who lost the bet, put $5,000 on my table as about, but that doesn't mean that Jobs will let the Lisa computer go."

John Kutcher looked worried and hurried, "Do you know what Steve Jobs did with the Lisa project? In addition to bringing some engineers from the Lisa project team to the project team, he also specifically targeted the Lisa computer for the development of the computer. The corresponding optimization was made consciously, obviously to surpass Lisa Computer."

Speaking of this, John Kutcher looked at Tang Huan sincerely, "Tang, Lisa Computer is really good enough, worthy of the most powerful software developer, Zheru, to use office software for its developers.

The reason why John Kutcher was so anxious was because he panicked and realized that his Lisa project team was a little behind closed doors.

Due to Tang Huan's influence, users are now paying more and more attention to the functions and functions of the software. It is not just a piece of hardware that can only type and count.

The Lisa project team was on high alert in order to avoid losing power. To a certain extent, the information was so blocked that it did not keep up with this rapidly changing situation.

Especially after the research and development of the Lisa computer, John Kutcher always faintly felt that the intriguing look in Jobs's eyes made him feel heavy.

John Kutcher did not want to put so much effort into the Lisa computer, and finally became a laughing stock in the industry.

Therefore, John Kutcher wanted to get commercial software support from Tang Huan.

"Why, now I'm not afraid of Lisa Computer meeting people with bad intentions?" Tang Huan joked.

"What's more to be afraid of? The Lisa computer has already been completed, and it is about to appear on dex." John Kutcher smiled awkwardly.

"If I remember correctly, the customer group that Lisa Computer looks at is a company. If it is really good, wouldn't it be the corner of Fangyuan Computer?" Tang Huan said bluntly about Lisa Computer's views.

John Kutcher seemed to have considered this question a long time ago and quickly replied: "The corporate market is so big, I think, with Tang's daily mind, I would not mind having one more partner to fight against these established competitors."

Tang Huan smiled and shook his head, "What you said is too false."

"I know. Zheru must also be developing an operating system with a graphical user interface, but your pictures are so big that they have been cited but not published."

John Kutcher stared at Tang Huan and slowly said, "Don’t you want to know as much as possible about the pioneers in this field. To what extent? Is there a better way than developing large-scale software for Lisa computers? Effective? And with the strong position of philosophers, it is impossible for Apple to put forward any excessive restrictions."

"You're saying something interesting this time." Tang Huan nodded slightly, as if he was moved by the words.

John Kutcher was overjoyed when he heard that, "Then please go visit Lisa Computer immediately, so that the cooperation can be settled as soon as possible, and when the product is released. You can also cheer for Lisa Computer."

...

Because the Lisa computer has the characteristics of a native graphical user interface, Tang Huan specially brought important technical backbones such as Charles Simeone to take a look at the latest achievements in this field in advance.

Under the guidance of John Kutcher, the mighty group of people just walked into Apple, and just met Steve Jobs head-on. Next to him was a charming woman.

"Have you talked in private?" Jobs, who woke up, asked John Kutcher angrily.

"Mike knows about it, and he also deeply agrees." John Kutcher replied lightly.

When Jobs was about to speak, he saw Tang Huan say to the female companion beside him: "Ms. Joan Baez? I am Tang Huan and I am honored to meet you. I am also a music fan and I like your songs very much."

Tang Huan’s compliments are from the sincerity, not mentioning Joan Baez’s unique pioneering social movements, just saying that her musical achievements are worthy of all kinds of praise. The singing voice is high-pitched and clear, quite contagious.

"Tang, nice to meet you." Joan Baez smiled sweetly. Holding Tang Huan's outstretched hand together.

Now the entire United States, even if you don’t know what Tang Huan looks like, you have heard of his name. That is the number one in Forbes 400 and the richest man in the United States.

Therefore, when Tang Huan reported to his family. You don’t even have to put a lot of titles such as the chairman of the board of directors, and you can let others know who he is just by name.

"Joan. We have to hurry to visit the project team." Jobs, who was on guard, took Joan Baez and left.

"Ms. Baez. When you have a concert, let me know. If I have time, I will definitely go and enjoy it." Tang Huan said narrowly and loudly.

Joan Baez readily agreed, causing Jobs to give Tang Huan an angrily, not to mention being nervous about his idol.

Looking at the backs of Jobs and Joan Baez, Tang Huan couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

In the original time and space, Jobs and Joan Baez, a pair of men and women with a huge gap, of course will not eventually come together, but they are still friends.

When Jobs traveled westward, Joan Baez and u2 sang for the distant Steve Jobs together at the memorial ceremony~www.wuxiahere.com~ Perhaps, this is the so-called mutual help, it is better to forget each other.

...

Tang Huan quickly put away his thoughts, accompanied by John Kutcher, came to the Lisa project team, saw the world’s first personal computer with graphical user interface features, Lisa, and discovered the tragedy in the original time and space. The fate is the same, the steps are too big, it's an egg.

The hardware configuration of the Lisa computer is: 5mhz Motorola mb capacity memory, up to 2mb memory, a 5mb capacity hard disk, two 525-inch floppy disk drives, basic standard input devices such as keyboard and mouse.

To be honest, the software system of Lisa Computer has realized very advanced features. The operating system is based on hard disk, supports memory protection, collaborative multitasking, built-in screen saver, advanced calculator program...

But there is one thing. In the experience of use, the Lisa computer has a very obvious defect, the running speed is not generally slow, especially when the file is scrolled, it suddenly becomes "a ugly covering a hundred handsome". To be continued
