Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 624 Lisa is not to be feared
"Promising young people are doing nothing and have no time to take care of it."

"In Apple's view, it's time to change the way we live in the past!"

In the TV screen, a young man riding a bicycle and leading a dog entered an office building.After the elevator went up, I came to my office and sat down, resting my left hand casually on the old antique mouse, and started to use the apple lisa.At the same time, the advertising words continued to sound:
"So we built the world's most advanced personal computer"

"In the future there will be two types of people: one type will use computers."

"The other type, will use Apple computers!"

The 59-second commercial video ended here. Looking at the colorful version of the Apple logo on the TV screen, Carter suddenly felt full of slots and didn't know where to start.

The design of the advertisement is full of strong self-confidence.

What does it mean that one class will use a computer and the other will use an Apple computer?
If you want to talk about mobile phones, one is Apple, the other is Android, and Carter can still understand, but in the field of computers: Is your Qiao Gang still awake? !

"There is good news. The design of their mouse is a bit rough. The square box is not aesthetically pleasing. Have you seen the movement of the model holding the mouse? Do you feel unnatural? ?”

"At least from the perspective of ergonomics, the design I gave you will make it more comfortable for people to hold! Let alone the function key settings, the left button confirms the command, and the right button displays the expansion command. I haven't seen it on Apple Lisa yet!"

Folding his arms, Carter commented on the advertisement that had just been broadcast on TV.

And the next moment, after the ad, the California News Channel's feature film continues:
"Havana tacos, which has sprung up in the past two years, has quickly become popular in all states in the United States with its high-quality and cheap Mexican-style food. They have always been praised for their ability to match tastes at very little cost. But recently, South Professor Megiti Reinhardt of the School of Social Work at the University of California, however, suffered from abdominal pain after eating HT's burrito and sought urgent medical attention."

"Holding the hospital's initial charging receipt, Professor Reinhardt received full compensation from HT Company. This seems to be a good thing for a company with a sense of social responsibility to be responsible for its own customers, but the claim settlement is too efficient, which makes Lai Professor Inhart was suspicious: Why did they pay so quickly? Does HT often face this kind of thing? Is there a safety hazard in their food? "

"With this doubt, Professor Reinhardt approached Professor Pietro Camara and Professor Vasili Munoz from the School of Medicine, determined to trace the source of food raw materials of HT Company together! Professor Camara is in charge To investigate the production environment of HT company's food raw materials, Professor Monroz is responsible for sampling and testing the food, while Professor Reinhardt conducts a sampling survey of a large number of HT consumers in the market."

"We can see that HT's beef cattle are mainly produced in Texas. HT claims that its beef cattle come from safe and standardized pasture-raised cattle, but in fact, we can see that in Grape, Texas, Wayne, the ranch staff in front of me are very unprofessional. Although the site is large enough, the sanitary conditions are worrying. I can even step on the cow's feces in the ranch. They are as harmless as a stone on the side of the road , and can be seen everywhere”

"In addition to the worrying sanitation environment of the beef cattle farm, after our research, we found that the reason why HT's food prices can be sold at a low price is purely due to the use of cheap and low-quality seasonings in the food! For example, this sour cucumber flavored tacos , They don’t pickle cucumber slices at all, but use Monterey cheese slices and Thousand Island salad dressing, with some spices to create a taste. In the instrument test, I didn’t see traces of pickling cucumber slices. You guys Look, this is the cucumber slices HT uses, and this is the normal pickle slices”

A host, plus three so-called professors, sang a chorus, and Carter frowned.

It seems that they speak quite objectively.

As the so-called family knows their own affairs, the materials used in HT are indeed not good, after all, it is just a low-cost fast food.They didn't say it directly, you are using ingredients that don't meet the US hygienic standards, but the meaning behind the words has been leading in one direction:
Although HT Company is very responsible, if someone eats diarrhea, they will compensate; although HT Company’s ingredients meet the hygienic inspection standards; although
Following the many "thoughs" comes the but
"However, this cannot conceal that their raw material production base is dirty and messy. The materials they use are cheap and inferior. Their taste is just a pile of industrial flavors, not the delicacy of the ingredients."

"It looks like something is wrong with your business."

Gates, who also saw the news, sighed, and his tone was a little softer.

This kind of negative report is not a small blow to chain catering companies.As a result, the passenger flow of a store is reduced by even an inconspicuous 10%. When many stores add up, the decline in overall efficiency is not a small number.What's more, this problem also occurred during the expansion period of HT
"It's okay, I'll go back and solve this problem slowly! Let's deal with the problem in front of us first. What's the price of Apple Lisa?"

Shaking his head, he turned off the TV.

Carter temporarily put the matter of HT on the back burner.It has been 83. If memory serves me right, the decade of stagflation in the United States is almost over.
When the economy recovers, it is when the benefits of HT decline.Carter had already made this preparation psychologically.

Whether there is such a negative report, the impact is actually not big!

In other words, the priority weight is not as high as that of Microsoft!After all, no matter how big HT is, it is just a KFC, and Microsoft. What is that? !

"$9995!"

"Are you sure it's $9995?!"

Carter suddenly laughed, and suddenly there was a feeling in his heart: Old Joe is just like this
"Of course, you think it's expensive?"

"Of course it's expensive, it's too expensive! Although their price is cheaper than Alto's, it's also not a price that ordinary families can afford!"

What is the approximate equivalent of $9995 today?

One hundred thousand yuan to buy a computer
It's an exaggeration!At this price, it is more than enough to buy four top-equipped mac pro 1TB solid-state ones in the future!

"In terms of hardware, for the design of the mouse, I am confident that Apple is not my opponent. This is one of its disadvantages!"

"In terms of software, Apple has never been a software company. If they want to support the application value of Apple lisa, they will inevitably look for external software suppliers to provide support for their new system! To build a complete software ecosystem, needs time."

"However, they still sell it so expensive! It's just killing me!"

"Before the use value is fully realized, the money to buy one lisa can buy six IBM 5150s with more adequate software support!"

"Relax everyone, Lisa is nothing to be afraid of!"
