Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 207 The first generation of Apple goes on the market

"Factory Manager, it's all right, we're done!" Hearing the continuous sound of firecrackers in the distance, the team leader in charge of the test finally handed over a test report to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye flipped through this document, of course he was happy and nervous.

He was happy because his first personal computer was finally finished, and he was also nervous because this computer was finally finished.

Regardless of whether it will succeed or not, Zhao Ye has no chance to modify or interfere with it at this time.Time will not allow him to do this, and reality will not allow it even more.At present, he can only have someone send a copy of the software to the capital, and let someone fly it to the United States.

The rest of the time is to wait, waiting for good or bad news to come from there.

Waiting is the most tormenting.

This is also a hurdle that commercial computers or any other products have to pass.At this time, no one will be nervous unless he doesn't care about the result.

However, how can anyone who puts effort into a product not care.

Zhao Ye picked up a pen and signed the document.Then went straight home.

In the new factory, he also has a family.Although he is the only one in this house.

It's the Chinese New Year, and the leaders of the factory committee have a lot of work and are very busy.But from the cadres to the employees, everyone understands that Zhao Ye, the factory director, does not appear in various meetings or celebrations.Their factory director is currently staring at product development.Any conscientious worker or cadre would not complain about a factory manager who has lived in the laboratory and hasn't come out for half a year.

For such a Zhao Ye who is a scientist and also the director of the factory, everyone has only one word in their hearts, admiration.

However, at this time, Zhao Ye, whom they admired, was nestling on the bed at home, sound asleep.

It's the Chinese New Year, and Zhao Ye doesn't have any special hobbies, let alone anyone he wants to meet. Only by sending himself to sleep can he link his various emotions at this moment.

Zhao Ye stayed at home for ten days in a row. During this time, a magical machine suddenly appeared in the market of the United States.Everyone is very curious about this kind of machine. Judging from the introduction in the newspaper, this kind of machine can help people easily process various text and graphic documents.And the most important thing is his text editing and typesetting skills. In the past, ordinary printers were used for these tasks. Once an error occurred, the entire page would be scrapped and had to be reprinted.But now it is different. With this machine, you can modify your own files arbitrarily on a TV-like screen until it achieves the effect you want most, and then you can print it.

Moreover, you can also save these files in a small floppy disk and take them to any place with a computer for modification and printing.

This kind of technology is simply subversive for people's daily work!

Jenny works in the editorial department of a newspaper. Her daily job is to receive letters and reply to various contributors.And this kind of letter is often stylized. In the past work, he and she had to use a typewriter every day to type almost the same content.You may think that if you print the same file frequently, you should be more proficient without making mistakes.But the fact is just the opposite, because each of these reply letters is slightly different, so that Jenny often misspelled letters.

One wrong letter, and this reply letter, which may be almost finished, has to be reprinted, and the time spent before is wasted.

When Jenny saw this new type of equipment in the newspaper, she immediately thought of how to apply it to her work.

If there is such a device, her work will become extremely simple.Therefore, Jenny immediately applied for such a device from her boss.

Thanks to the special relationship between Jenny and the newspaper owner, she soon got permission to buy.Today, Jenny came to the Apple computer sales mall early in the morning with the check.

She came here according to normal working hours, but when she stood at the entrance of this mall, she was asked to queue up.

"I just went in to buy a computer, why do I have to queue up on the street?" Jenny asked the staff of the mall angrily.

"Beautiful lady, as you can see, these are people who want to buy Apple computers. If you are not here to buy computers, you can go in now."

"What, all these people buy computers? Why are there so many people?"

"Because Apple has set up a customer experience event in it. As long as you have the willingness to buy a computer, you can experience it for free for half an hour under the guidance of professionals. If you buy their computer, you can also enjoy two hours of experience. Training Courses."

"What? They're training everyone here? How big a place is there to do this kind of thing? Besides, no one needs two hours. Doesn't that mean that even if I stand in line for a whole day, I might not be able to make a round of purchases? "

"Ma'am, there's nothing I can do about it." The man shrugged, showing a helpless expression.Jenny is a beautiful woman. With such a physical condition, she rarely had the experience of waiting in line in her previous work.

After only half an hour, she was already getting impatient.After seeing the staff member maintaining order again, Jenny immediately stopped him.

"If I just buy a computer and don't need training courses, do I have to wait like this?"

"Well, I'm sorry ma'am, no one has made such a choice yet, and I don't know much about it." The staff was stopped by Jenny's question, and they could only say that they didn't know.

"Then take me to the place where it is sold and ask. If you can buy it directly and not enjoy the training course, I will just buy one." Jenny felt as if she had found a shortcut.

Following the staff, Jenny came to the Apple store on the first floor of the mall.After asking the staff here, a sales manager from Apple came out to receive Jenny.

"Ma'am, I still hope you can receive some training. Otherwise, you may have to spend a long time studying by yourself after you go back. Believe me, it will be a very painful thing." According to the company's suggestion, the sales manager tried his best Persuade Jenny, the customer.

"Sir, don't you think this is very unreasonable? What we want to buy is just a computer. Do we still need to be forced to study? How do you know that I will use it for myself when I buy it? Maybe I just buy it for the company Come to think of it, what's the use of it even if I learn it? Maybe this computer will never be assigned to me. After all, this is a piece of equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars. You have no idea how stingy my boss is .”

"Oh! Beautiful lady, no matter how stingy a person is, they will never refuse to pay a little more for a computer for someone like you! You deserve the best of everything!" The sales manager was obviously taken aback by this Jenny's The Dementor's magic power was stunned, and at this moment, there was room for people's imagination to say anything.

Jenny didn't dislike him. On the contrary, she hoped that the sales manager would have enough talent or wealth, so that she might be able to start a new relationship.

"Sir, I think I'd better just buy a computer and forget it. I really don't want to wait here. Maybe, after you get off work, you can come to the company where I work and give me a training session in person!"

The blond-haired and blue-eyed sales manager accurately grasped Jenny's intentions. Looking at the charming and enchanting woman in front of him, the young sales manager couldn't help swallowing.

Jenny got her wish and bought an Apple computer and a matching printer.Because she didn't choose a training course, the company kindly gave her a self-study manual.

When the computer was installed in the editorial department of the newspaper, almost everyone gathered in front of the computer with its brightly colored monitor.

"Jenny, how does this thing work?" one editor asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll study the manual!" Jenny didn't understand this, she fiddled with it for a long time, but couldn't make the computer work normally.

At this moment, the sales manager whose mind was full of Jenny hurriedly came to the company where Jenny worked.

As soon as he entered here, he saw Jenny surrounded by a group of people.Before he could speak, Jenny's voice sounded first.

"Mr. Robert, you are finally here, come and give us training, we can't wait." Of course Jenny knows why this guy came to find her, but it is still working time, the most important thing is that she The boss is by her side, she can't let this newly transferred goldfish destroy her ecological balance here.

"Hello, Mr. Robert, are you a trainer from Apple?" asked the owner of the tabloid.

"Oh no, I'm not, actually, uh, I'm…"

"He's not from Apple, it's me at..."

"Okay, okay, I don't care where you are from, are you here for training?" the boss asked with his eyes wide open.

"Oh, yes." Robert said timidly.

"Then let's get started! We can't wait anymore, today's evening paper is still waiting for our manuscript!" An editor said loudly.

As a result, Robert, who originally wanted to find his passion, had to bite the bullet and start training the people here.

By noon, the people here have fully mastered the usage of this computer.

In fact, this operation is very simple, Zhao Ye's computer is made for people in the United States.For the people of this country, Zhao Ye has some understanding.For this group of people, you must not treat them as high-level intellectuals.In the development of software, one thing Zhao Ye emphasized every day is that people in the United States are fools. The software you design must be the kind of thing that a fool can use to sell. As long as it is complicated, people in the United States I can't accept it immediately.

Although Zhao Ye's words made the programmers who were engaged in development frowned, this request made Apple Computer the most popular office equipment in the United States in the first place.
