Rebirth in America - Chapter 420

c419 Qiao Bangzhu started a business

Rune Technology Research Institute.

A young man with hair hanging down his shoulders and a full beard is concentrating on the plate in front of him, which is full of patterns with different lines. It is said to be a pattern, but in fact it is a combination of various unit runes with specific functions.

Next to him is another young man, who has long hair and beard like him! The two look a bit alike, like brothers. In fact, they are closer than brothers.

“How’s it going, Woz!” the young man standing asked, “Has our computer board been finished? Is it ready for use?”

The young man who was concentrating on drawing the runes put down the things in his hands and said, “No problem! Seriously, Steve Jobs! I don’t understand why you want to make this kind of thing so much. You know, as long as the rune seeds are implanted, These things are all useless!”

It turned out that these two young men were Jobs and Woz. Since Jobs himself lacked talent in technology, he finally found his old friend Woz to help. Both of them work at Rune Technology, but Jobs’s unit is more design-oriented, while Woz’s is in the actual hardware group.

Prior to this, they participated in the starship research and development work of Rune Technology Company, where they were responsible for the development of a computer-like crystal plate. But that kind of thing is designed for rune seed users, not for ordinary people.

One day, Jobs suddenly had the idea to design a similar tablet computer for ordinary people. The biggest problem with this kind of thing is energy. The other parts have been solved by Rune Technology Company.

However, when it comes to energy, it is not a simple issue. You know, seed energy can be converted into electricity through equipment, but there is no way to convert electricity into seed energy. Even if Steve Jobs and Woz were geniuses, there was nothing they could do. Finally, they came up with a solution and simply designed an additional energy storage space to allow ordinary people to find rune seed users to inject energy.

In fact, their idea has already been thought of by someone. It’s just that they haven’t done it, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that seeds will definitely be popularized in the future, if not this year or next year, it will be popularized within more than ten years. After the seeds are available, this tablet will be like garbage, and no one will buy it at all.

Apparently, Jobs had also thought about this question. He answered Woz: “Why do you think it has no value?”

“Because seeds will become popular soon!”

“No, I think it will take at least a long time before seeds are really popular. You know, one seed now costs 100,000 US dollars! Many people don’t have money to buy seeds. If they want to be popular, even if it takes ten years, then we still have Make a lot of money in ten years!”

“Ten years?”

Woz was a little moved after hearing this, but it was just a heartbeat. If he and Jobs were asked to start a business, it would be impossible. He is doing very well at Rune Technology. He is already the small boss of a project, and he has also received options from Rune Technology.

According to his estimate, the options he owns may be worth tens of millions of dollars! If it were to go public, unfortunately, Rune Technology Company is not a listed company, but its annual dividends would be quite considerable.

Jobs had repeatedly persuaded his old friend to start a business, but unfortunately he always failed to convince him. In the end, he could only give Woz one-third of the shares and then get Woz’s patent for the revised Rune Technology tablet computer.

“A lot of people will definitely buy my design! It meets market demand and will definitely become popular!” Jobs kept encouraging himself, but in fact he was also a little worried.

What if your business fails?

Can I still go back to work at Rune Technology Company? The competition for job positions here is very fierce. Fortunately, I got a head start and joined the company earlier than others. Otherwise, I might not even be qualified for the interview.

Jobs followed Wozniak in the past few years and worked prosperously at Rune Technology. He received dividends after every successful project and soon became a millionaire. It’s a pity that Jobs’ ambition was not just to become a millionaire, he wanted to become a multi-millionaire and a billionaire.

If you are a multi-millionaire, you may be able to achieve it in just a few years.

But becoming a billionaire is difficult. Jobs believed that he would never become a billionaire if he stayed here. In order to realize his childhood wish and self-pursuit, he decided to start a business. He got the most advanced rune design computer board from Woz, and then came to Seattle’s Silicon Valley to establish a company.

What would be a good name for the company? Jobs thought to himself.

Apple?

This already exists. Alex has already started a computer company called Apple. The name is really nice, but it is a pity that it is not his own.

Other companies such as Microsoft and Google are also good, but unfortunately they are all subsidiaries of Ark Group and have been registered long ago.

After much deliberation, Jobs finally decided to call it a “Giant” company! He wanted the company to grow into a giant, and a giant in Rune Technologies products. Nowadays, rune technology has gradually been opened to the public, but it is limited to civilian products. This tablet computer of Steve Jobs is for civilian use.

He recruited some of his friends and family members to set up the production line together. The workers on this production line are all rune seed users. They received a resource package from Steve Jobs and downloaded it to the seed system. After decompressing and installing, an additional skill will appear.

This skill is specifically used to burn runes on a crystal glass called “Gorilla”. After the runes are successfully burned, the crystal glass will become a tablet. It can be said that any fool can complete this kind of work, but everything is based on Woz’s work to make it so easy.

Of course, such production is not without risks. During the burning process, if you don’t concentrate enough, it is very likely that a board will be damaged, resulting in a decrease in yield.

This kind of crystal glass plate called “Gorilla” is specially made, and a special medium is added to it, which can withstand the operation of seed energy. This medium is collected from the moon and is very precious.

“Jobs, how much does a computer board like yours cost?” Jobs’s girlfriend asked while burning.

She originally had no money to buy seeds, but since Jobs entered Rune Technology Company, she had the opportunity to get some inside information, and she was lucky enough to get free seeds. In addition to her, there is also Jobs’ sister who was also obtained through this method.

As for Steve Jobs’s parents, Steve Jobs used his salary to buy them as birthday gifts. Now these two old men also take time to help their sons start their own businesses. Both of them pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Jobs would answer this question.

Jobs thought for a moment and said, “It has to be sold for at least $2,000. Otherwise, we won’t be able to do it.”

$2000!

This price may seem high, but in fact it is not. You must know that today’s desktop computers cost around US$1,000. If Steve Jobs’ tablet computer can be launched, people will rush to buy it even if it costs $2,000.

“However,” Jobs’s girlfriend said with some worry: “There is a big problem with a tablet like yours. It needs to be recharged by a seed user, which greatly reduces its value!”

“It doesn’t matter! As long as you buy the tablet, someone will definitely be able to solve this problem.”

Jobs seemed optimistic, but things were not looking good. After his first shipment of 100 tablets was made, no one bought it because people with seeds didn’t need it, but people without seeds couldn’t use it. You know, it would be quite troublesome to go to the seed user to recharge every time you use up the energy.

Day by day, the tablets were only sold for about 10 yuan, and they were all returned after the power ran out. Such a blow made Jobs almost faint. He kept thinking of ways to sell these tablet computers.

In the end, the computer was sold to Rune Technology Company, which alarmed the people above: “Someone actually used the company’s resources to develop a computer. This is against the rules and illegal!”

So the relevant departments of the company began to organize materials, preparing to bring down Jobs and Woz in one fell swoop and make them bankrupt. After what happened, Jobs simply didn’t dare to see his old friends anymore. He knew that he was responsible for Woz’s death.

You know, if Woz had not been involved in this matter, he could have become a multimillionaire comfortably. It’s good now. Once the company sues you, you will completely lose your job and owe a huge debt.

Faced with this situation, Jobs was not defeated and tried every means to save it. He knew that now only by finding the boss of Rune Technology Company could the lawsuit be stopped and he could be brought back to life.

So he wanted to sell the tablet to Rune Technology Company. Unfortunately, the boss of Rune Technology Company did not want this kind of family-run product, but wanted a high-end product. More importantly, this product has a major flaw: “People who need it can’t use it, and people who can use it don’t need it!”

Jobs still refused to give up and looked for people everywhere to promote his products, especially the senior executives of Rune Technology Company. He showed up on time every day, just like getting off work.

This kind of stalking method was so good that it made the senior management of Rune Technology Company upset. One of them couldn’t help it and shouted: “Get away from this kind of garbage! Don’t let me see it again.” you!”

Finally, Jobs thought of someone he hadn’t found yet. That was the real boss Alex, but he didn’t know how to contact him. He could only wait at the door of Rune Technology Company, hoping to meet Alex.

It must be said that Jobs was indeed very lucky. Just when the court handed down the verdict and he was about to despair, Alex appeared. When Jobs saw it, he quickly ran over and hugged his thigh: “Help! Hero!”

When Jobs showed up, Alex knew who he was, but he didn’t expect him to do such a rogue thing. Of course, if Jobs wasn’t a rogue, he wouldn’t be Jobs.

After understanding it, Alex decided to reach out and give him a hand: “It doesn’t matter, I will ask the company to withdraw the lawsuit now.”

“What about my tablet?” Jobs looked at Alex and begged with tears in his eyes: “I think this design is fine, but it can’t be sold!”

No problem!

People who need it can’t use it, and people who can use it don’t need it. But this didn’t bother Alex. He thought for a while and said: “Let’s do this. I’ll invest 1 million US dollars in you to start a company together. I will hold 50 shares, you will hold 25 shares, and the remaining 25 will go to Woz. of.”

When Jobs heard this, he was a little reluctant: “Woz wants to take 25%? Then I won’t do it!”

He didn’t dare compete with Alex for shares, but he was reluctant to put him on an equal footing with Woz. However, it was not up to him to make the decision. Alex just said softly: “The patent belongs to Woz!”

Not only that, Woz also took the risk with Jobs! It would be too fast to burn bridges now, but Jobs would not be so decisive. He meant that he wanted to own 30% of the shares, and Wozniak had 20% of the shares. In this case, he will feel better.

Jobs used his stalking skills, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net insisted on dividing the shares according to his ideas, and said that Woz was unwilling to come out to start a business with him, so even if he was given 10 shares, it was still too much.

Alex was not willing to do this. He called Woz over and said, “From today on, you should resign from Rune Technology and start a company with Steve Jobs!”

After hearing this, Woz was dumbfounded, but Alex helped him make this decision, so he couldn’t refuse it. But he immediately raised a question: “The energy problem is difficult to solve! If it cannot be changed to use ordinary energy, then the market for this thing will be very small!”

Alex waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to worry about this!”

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and gently touched a point in the air, revealing a beautiful rune. Jobs was confused, but Woz was ecstatic.

“I see, it can still be like this!” Woz shouted, and he even scratched his hair in excitement: “As long as you adjust it, you can charge it even with electricity!”

When Jobs heard this, he immediately understood: “Alex has modified their energy system so that it can be used even when charging!”

In this way, Jobs’ giant company was quickly established. The tablet computers they launched for ordinary people were very popular. They were sold out all at once, and they had to expand their production lines. Destiny fluctuated here, and Jobs’ life path returned to the normal track.

Just as Gang Leader Qiao started to embark on the road of entrepreneurship, Alex received a piece of information: “Iron Man appeared in New York and helped citizens fight against gangsters!” RS
