Chapter 1131 Saving Faith
Don't be surprised, this medicine was originally used to treat the heart, but it was later found that the effect was mediocre. However, its side effects are really touching.
In fact, this little blue pill works wonders for some heart patients. If the side effects are not too evil, it may become a routine drug.
What, it was really routine later on, if there are some minor problems, the doctor doesn't mind giving you some.
I really don't get it, you bastard with an important heart, it's obviously useless, but you still need a few hundred dollars a piece.
On March 28th, Apple's new product launch event. iMacG3, placed alone on the stage, under a red cloth hood, looks from a distance, basically the size of a monitor.
Jobs has attended many press conferences, but this one is a bit special. It can be said that this is a last stand. If it fails, it needs to raise money again. If it doesn't work, it needs to be liquidated.
The former personal PC overlord, the former industry leader, has come to this point, it has to be said, it is a model of death.
During this time, Jobs was under a lot of pressure. When he announced compatibility with Microsoft Office suite, Jobs fans were disappointed. When he announced that the IE browser was bundled with the Apple system, he encountered crazy complaints.
Most of the time, it is much scarier to turn a fan into a black fan than a black fan. Most of the black fans are ignorant black fans. Their stance is not important at all. As time goes by, many of them will turn black fans into fans.
Turning fans into blacks is different. It should be said that the appearance of the Macintosh computer has completely changed the shape of the world.
What? You said the Macintosh was rubbish and it didn't sell many. If it is about making money, it has not made money with the recently released commemorative edition.
This is true, it is indeed a failure. However, starting from the Macintosh, the IT industry ushered in a complete revolution.
IBM almost died suddenly, Wang An Computer collapsed decisively, and HP and Xerox, if they didn't have other office automation equipment, it is estimated that they would also be in bad luck.
Although rotten apple hit the street, Compaq and Dell succeeded. A group of bigwigs who used to be high above were all pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Now, in order to save Apple on the verge of bankruptcy. Jobs did almost everything he could.
So, can he redeem his followers?
Can the banner of anti-mainstream be raised again?
This is an era of lack of faith. In order to obtain more benefits, people began to compromise and give up constantly.
Hopefully, this renunciation is worthwhile.
Jobs cried again, looking at the thunderous applause in the audience, he actually cried again.
"Boss, is it a little fancy? It looks cool, but this thing doesn't look like office supplies."
"Larry, you are right, this is actually the category of household appliances.
Only in this way can miracles be created. Think about it, the price of more than one thousand dollars is actually not bad. "Larry Ellison nodded, he understood that the gap between himself and William White was there.
It turned out that this translucent jelly was not sold to the company at all.
Maybe you can say, it's not that exaggerated. Could it be that this has created some history.
Ha ha, don't say it, it's really the case.
Before that, ordinary people's attitude towards computers was still at the level of typing and sending emails. This is the first time, at least, the first time in the United States. Ordinary American people think that this thing really should be called PC.
In the past, you always talked about personal computers, but this thing is too boring. Apart from typing and writing reports and sending emails, it is really useless.
Well, occasionally you can watch the news and chat, that's all. I really can't see where the individual is.
The iMac G3 is different, very different. This is really Nima anti-mainstream.
If the purchasing department buys a batch of these computers back to the company.
Ahem, I'm afraid the whole department will be cleaned up.
That said, many people may disagree. But, can you really find another similar stuff?
No, the so-called personal PCs in this era are actually commercial, just to let you go home for commercial use.
It is this seemingly deviant jelly machine that completely kicked off the era of multimedia.
After that, the computer began to slowly become cute.
Of course, William White is a bit shameless. You know that this stuff is easy to sell, so of course it's right to talk about it.
Now go and tell Jobs, dude, there is something wrong with your production plan, 500,000 units are useless, this thing starts at least 2 million.
Needless to say, Jobs absolutely regarded you as an idiot. Asshole, if you can sell 300,000 units, Apple can be brought back to life. As long as this most difficult time has passed, the follow-up work will be simple.
In fact, if it can be delivered in time. In the remaining half a year, there is no pressure at all for one million units. You know, this is a sales of more than one billion dollars. There are so many companies in the United States that can make more than one billion a year. If you count them, there will definitely not be too many.
"The speech is great, the computer is good, and the most important thing is the software. You know, Bill Gates, when he gave me a presentation, he blue screened three times.
This is really embarrassing, but fortunately, your performance is amazing. "
Jobs had a black line on his face, bastard, if something happens to me, you will die of laughter.
"It's different, William, just now, I didn't demonstrate Office and IE. I said, what did you think at the beginning, how could you be cheaper than Bill?"
"Hey, it's hard to say, isn't this guy being entangled by the Ministry of Justice?
If I want to keep the software, I have to develop the operating system. Then, it will be beaten to the bone.
Or, I also engage in the inner loop. It was then split by the Justice Department. "
"Hehe, you are confident. So, Bill Gates is lucky. It is better to entangle with the Ministry of Justice than to compete with you."
"Oh, it's still boring, why make so much money?
I had planned to spend it all in my lifetime. It's a pity that the speed at which I make money far exceeds that of spending money, which is really too difficult. "
Jobs was very depressed, and he didn't plan to talk to this guy anymore. As long as you start to install 13, this thing will become a hideous face.
A lively reception is over, although it is full of praise, but how this thing is still needs to be tested by the market.
The Macintosh back then was also boasted a lot. However, when it comes time to spend money to pay the bill, few people really buy it.
Lao Mei's character is like this, she has a low smile and likes to boo. You are a little more sensational, a little bloody, and by the way, sell some feelings. Don't worry, no one will jump out to make you uncomfortable.
Of course, you may be very excited at the time, so calm down and think again. Fuck, what is the use of this thing, why do you buy it for it!
The press conference is open, and the user response is still unknown. The first batch of products that can be obtained are cooperative enterprises or evaluation institutions.
"Tom, how is it, are you ready?"
"The boss is relieved, but there is something wrong with this promotion. Moreover, there is no plan for our profit model."
"Make money? For three years, I didn't think about making any money. This will be a platform, a platform for releasing free software.
By the way, Tom, those talented software engineers, you need to pay more attention. What is most important in this era is his talent. "
