Chapter 1505

"It seems that the winner is still unknown!" Microsoft executives finally showed a smile on their faces. The survey report is inaccurate, and the real results can only be released on October 1. It's still fifty-five!

"Don't be happy too early. Although the survey results should be a big problem, they can also show the problem. At least it shows that in the United States, QQ users are more than our MSN users!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the United States is our own chassis. QQ has taken the lead in the United States, which is a serious problem," Bill Gates said sternly "There are still five months to go before the end, and there is still time to change everything. We need to spend at least five months to complete the anti super in the United States, so that MSN users are more than QQ users. At least the survey results like today, I don't want to see it again!"

"Yes!" the executives replied loudly. They are still more confident at this time!

"Mr. Hawke, please make a report and tell you where the gap between us and QQ is and what factors lead us to lag behind QQ!"

"Yes!" Mr. Hawke, a stranger in the conference room, stood up.

This Mr. Hawk is an executive whom Bill Gates dug up from apple with a lot of money.

"Let me introduce to you that Mr. Hawke was originally the product director of apple. Since the year before last, he has been in charge of Apple's product design since Steve Jobs's return!"

"Apple's latest iMac computer is Mr. Hawke's masterpiece. The market research and design of the whole product are organized and completed by Mr. Hawke!"

"As we all know, Apple's IMAC computer has been very strong in the market recently, especially its product design, which has attracted countless people. Therefore, Apple has achieved a huge victory. The sales of personal computers have fully doubled eight times in a year. What an incredible achievement!" Bill Gates took the initiative to introduce the identity of Haoke, and the executives present looked at Haoke with admiration.

I can't help it. The apple of 1998 was a mythical start.

Originally, Apple's personal computer sales shrank year by year, but after jobs returned to power, after two years of hard work, in 1998, Apple launched the ancestor of IMAC computer that shocked the world: imacg3.

This computer is so amazing that after it was sold, it directly increased the sales of apple computer to 8 times that of last year, and the share price increased by 3 times. It shocked my mother.

The design of imacg3 is also very amazing in the eyes of many computer elites.

Because imacg3, the all-in-one machine is almost perfect.

The host, screen and audio of the computer are all integrated into a computer with the size of a display, which directly doubles the size of the computer. At the same time, people who buy IMAC computers can use them directly as long as they plug in the power, without various complex connections.

Don't underestimate this design. Later, according to the market survey, 36% of IMAC users can use IMAC's computer only by plugging in a power cord without making excuses for other things.

Even such an iMac computer is hundreds or even thousands of dollars more expensive than other computers with the same configuration.

At the same time, the configuration of IMAC computer is also very high. It is basically the top configuration of the current computer, but it is gathered in a small space, which is the embodiment of the perfection of design technology.

Otherwise, if the design process is different, the heat dissipation of a high configuration computer alone will be a headache for all designers.

In a word, IMAC is the best in the world in terms of beauty, performance and design. In addition, Apple has gradually formed a high-quality brand, making IMAC invincible in the market. Apple, which was originally in a loss situation, has begun to turn over... No, it has already turned over.

Unexpectedly, the hawk in front of us is the designer of the whole IMAC computer. This is a god like figure. Bill Gates actually invited him and asked him to investigate the instant messaging software in advance. Obviously, he intends to let the hawk help improve MSN. In this way, Microsoft has a great chance of winning.

However, there were still some doubts in the hearts of the executives at the scene, that is, how could apple be willing to let him go and let the other party join Microsoft?

Moreover, it seems that Apple's external publicity, the whole IMAC is designed and checked by Jobs himself. I rarely hear of this guy called hawk. Is this a liar?

"Gentlemen, Mr. hawk's identity is beyond doubt!" seeing the puzzled expression in the eyes of the executives, Bill Gates took the initiative to stand up and said, then looked at hawk and asked respectfully, "Mr. hawk, do you mind if I say something about you?"

"Of course not!" Hawke smiled. "Thanks to Mr. Bill Gates' warm invitation, we will be colleagues working together in the future. The most important thing is to open our hearts and let everyone know each other, so as to form a tacit understanding and trust working environment. Besides, there is nothing to hide about me. Why can't we say it?"

"OK, let me get this straight!" Bill Gates nodded and told the executives an amazing truth, that is, Mr. hawk didn't leave Apple himself, but was fired by apple.

The reason is very simple, because Apple's external publicity, all the credit is jobs.

Mr. Hawke was originally the chief designer of apple computer. After jobs returned, he talked with jobs for a long time, and then worked for three days and nights to come up with the design of IMAC.

Jobs was shocked. He immediately authorized Haoke to be responsible for the design and development of IMAC computer, so Haoke worked diligently for another year. For this reason, he even gave up his vacation, lost several hairs, and finally took out the design of IMAC.

Then there are various improvements and corrections. Haoke has always been in the front line of design and R & D. although jobs is indeed there, most of the credit is Haoke. Jobs is at most the guy of the issuing commander.

In Hawke's words, jobs actually didn't understand computers, but was good at management and command.

However, what Haoke didn't expect was that when IMAC began to carry out preliminary publicity and a large number of public relations and marketing reports began to appear in the media, the main hero became jobs.

The shape design of IMAC is jobs' and the hardware design is jobs' too. Jobs gave up everything and fought with everyone. Anyway, the name of Haoke rarely appeared in the whole report from beginning to end. Only a few reports mentioned it, but it was mentioned together with other R & D personnel, which seemed that Haoke was insignificant.

What angered Hawke most was that at the IMAC press conference, jobs stood on the stage and talked endlessly. He proposed to go on stage to explain the characteristics of iMac, but jobs refused.

Jobs just asked him to do his job. Don't think about other things too much.

So the angry hawk had a big quarrel with jobs and was fired by the hot tempered jobs. Then it came to Bill Gates' ears, so he was invited by Bill Gates to join Microsoft.
