Chapter 1480 Empty all around the eagle

Bian Xuedao never thought about riding a Trojan horse, nor did he think about picking daisies. What he thought most was to make money to give his family a quality life, to experience the thousands of wonderful things in this world, to gain respect, to make the awesomeness he had bragged about, and to see the giants of the world at once.

The problem is that some people are easy to see, some are not easy to see, and they are not easy to see through Border Learning Taoism today. Among them, the one with the highest "difficulty" is Jobs.

Why is it difficult to meet Jobs?

Two reasons - First, Jobs was diagnosed with late stages of cirrhosis in early 2009 and had to undergo liver transplantation, and his physical condition was not allowed to see guests. Second, Jobs was arrogant and had obvious discrimination and prejudice against Country C, which even radiated to individuals in nationals.

Objective and subjective reasons, so although Apple products are fanatically sought after in Country C, Jobs did not have the idea of ​​visiting Country C and had no friends in Country C. It is said that many businessmen in Country C offered lobbyists a sky-high price to want to have a meal with Jobs. Unfortunately, Jobs is not short of money, and his status and personality make him not meet people he doesn't want to meet for the sake of XXX's face, so none of them succeeded.

Bian Xuedao never thought of bringing a full-time photographer to dinner with Jobs, but he did want to meet this legend, which was hailed by the outside world as "the greatest innovation leader in the United States", for two reasons - first, the "Science Breakthrough Award" that Zhu Tiange wanted to do but failed made Bian Xuedao excited. If he wanted to do this, he must have the support of a great man of Jobs. Second, he knew that Jobs had two years of life, so he came to this time and space for a while. If he could not meet this master of innovation and aesthetics, he would not be able to meet this super bull who changed the world.

In addition to not wanting to have regrets, Bian Xuedao wants to meet Jobs with another consideration - the preparation, establishment and publicity of the "Science Breakthrough Award Fund" will take at least half a year, and then about half a year to screen, evaluate, coordinate, awards, and awards, plus one plus time, which means that if Jobs agrees to sponsor the fund, he can only hold one session at most when he was alive.

In other words, after the first "Science Breakthrough Award", the award will become the masterpiece of Jobs during his lifetime and the award that he left behind in the world.

Human beings have a complex of respecting the dead. Compared with the alive boss, the lost Jobs will undoubtedly add a halo to the "Science Breakthrough Award" and make the award more honorary.

Of course, no one takes advantage of the "Science Breakthrough Award" sponsored by the "Science Breakthrough Award" or uses it, because this matter itself is mutual achievement.

If the two sides reached an agreement, Bian Xuedao certainly borrowed Jobs' reputation, and Jobs would have used awards to erect an immortal monument for himself.

You should know that the 21st century is an era of technological explosion. No matter how powerful Apple products are, they cannot rule in one field for too long. Once disruptive technologies and products appear, Nokia's fate today may not be Apple's destination tomorrow.

By then, people may no longer have Apple products in their lives, but people will follow the "Science Breakthrough Prize" and the "Science Breakthrough Prize" and the "Science Breakthrough Prize" to remember that there was an amazing guy named Jobs, just like the "Nobel Prize" that made Nobel immortal.

Unfortunately, although it was a win-win situation, because of Jobs' special situation, it was quite risky to operate. After thinking about it, Bian Xuedao planned to give up seeing Jobs.

The reason is very simple. After all, he is also a big boss now. If he is refused to see him and told him out, he will definitely become a topic of conversation for his opponent. If he thinks seriously, his glory for the country through the copyright output of "The Voice of China" may be embarrassing to see him because of Jobs' dismissal.

Things turned around when Jobs returned to Apple and Zhu Tiange's 8 business cards.

On September 9, 2009, at the iPod special press conference, Jobs returned to the public with a shimmering look after undergoing liver transplant surgery.

At this time, Jobs had learned from the doctor that his life was only two years left - this time the final verdict was announced, without the lucky accident.

The result is...

The character of a person is becoming increasingly peaceful. Bian Xuedao's dazzling achievements, coupled with heavyweight lobbyists and Youdao's full efforts to enter the mobile phone field, made Jobs decide to learn from Bian Xuedao.

Not only did he meet, but his specifications were also very high. Jobs invited Bian Xuedao to visit his house.

According to the lobbyist's revelation, Bian Xuedao's business achievements also made Jobs look at him. He knew that he had not had much time. Jobs also wanted to meet Bian Xuedao, a legendary Asian genius, and listen to his insights on economy and technology. After all, ants are bustling around and eagles are empty.

After hanging up the lobbyist's phone, after thinking for a moment, Bian Xuedao dialed Shan Rao's cell phone.

Although I have always insisted on learning English, it is safe to bring Dan Rao, who is better in English.

Moreover, Jobs is married, so he went to Jobs' house to visit him and brought his female companion to show that he was close and attached to him.

On the other hand, since she has decided to give Shan Rao and others an identity through exposure, it is undoubtedly a very good opportunity to meet Jobs. With Shan Rao's communication skills, such high-end social interaction will definitely bring great benefits to her future development in the United States.

...

...

Palo Alto, California.

Given that Jobs' personality and reputation were outside, Bian Xuedao only brought Shan Rao, and all other entourage members stayed in the hotel and stood on standby.

Shan Rao drove and took the bus while Xuedao. Along the way, Shan Rao repeatedly confirmed some key information about Jobs, Laurena and Apple.

No matter how confident Shan Rao is, she cannot regard the couple Jobs and Laurena as a target for her, because the power of Jobs is that it is the admiration of ordinary people and the awe of the elites.

The more elite he is, the more he can understand Jobs' extraordinary and terrible things. The more he can understand that Jobs' success is not only based on vision and genius creativity, but also on his courage, persistence, demand, concentration, judgment and insight into human nature.

It is precisely because of so many advantages that people are beyond ordinary people that people ignore their arrogance, paranoidness, rudeness, willfulness, irritability, pickyness, narcissism, indifference, narrow-mindedness and refusal to adopt their biological daughter.

In this way, with two extremely contradictory labels of "scam" and "great" in my heart, Shan Rao met Jobs himself.

Jobs, who stood in front of the door with his wife to greet the guests, was very thin, very thin, with weakness and haggardness as he recovered from a serious illness.

What surprised Shan Rao was that Jobs's clothes were exactly the same as those in the speech video - a black round neck shirt with jeans and sneakers.

When we first met, the hostess Laurenna spoke enthusiastically: "Hi, Bian, Dan, welcome to Steve's house and I."

With just one sentence, Bian Xuedao and Shan Rao saw that Laurenna was better at socializing and friendly than Jobs.

After a brief greeting at the door, the four of them entered the house. At this time, a few white children ran out of the house, which scared Bian Xuedao and Shan Rao.

Four children who looked about seven or eight years old, two of them wore Japanese-style cartoon masks on their heads. When they saw Bian Xuedao and Shan Rao, one of the boys took off their masks and looked at Bian Xuedao and asked, "Are you Japanese? Do you know my mask?"

A little embarrassing question!

Bian Xuedao smiled and shook his head: "No, I am from C."

"Oh." The boy turned around and went to the room on the left with his friends.

Watching the children leave, Laurenna apologized: "His name is George, he is the child from the neighbor's house. I occasionally ask Steve and I to help take care of it."

Bian Xuedao nodded with a smile after hearing this: "It's okay, I like children."

Shan Rao held Bian Xuedao's arm and said, "I like children too."

The meeting atmosphere is very harmonious!

It was clearly the first time I visited, but Laurenna showed a feeling of greeting her old friends for many years.

What surprised Bian Xuedao and Shan Rao was that Laurenna was actually a fan player of "Minecraft".

Shan Rao is one of the founders of Timona Entertainment. Although she does not understand technology, she is still very familiar with the architecture, gameplay and research and development of "Minecraft". This identity has brought her closer to Laurenna, and the two have a lot of fun chatting.

During the chat, Bian Xuedao saw that Jobs had also played "Minecraft", but it was obvious that the low-pixel game scene of "Minecraft" was not as good as the perfectionist, Jobs, so the two moved to Jobs' Zen room for tea.

Jobs was an authentic American, but he practiced Zen and drank tea and was considered a Buddhist. His spiritual tutor was a Japanese monk named Hirofumi Okawa, so Jobs's Zen room was very Japanese.

Although he drinks tea every day, Jobs is not good at tea ceremony, and brewing tea is completely unruly and casual, which also fits some people's evaluation of Jobs-"He has the concentration of monks, but he does not have that sympathy."

In Bian Xuedao's view, Jobs was bound by the form of "Zen" but not the form of "tea". This is a manifestation of my choice, which shows that he has a strong sense of self and is not bound by ordinary vision and rules.

It's true!

After taking a sip of tea, Jobs put down the cup, looked at Bian Xuedao and said, "Charles said you want to see me, I'm curious about what you want to get from me."

“I want to set up a fund…”

Bian Xuedao answered frankly, but because he usually speaks little English, he organizes the wording a little slow.

Jobs obviously did not have the habit of waiting for someone to speak slowly. He snatched the words: "Oh, charity, I'm not interested in this. If you persist, you can talk to Laurenna, maybe she will like it."

I read an article titled "Zero Charity Jobs" in my previous life, so Bian Xuedao did not regard this statement as "arrogant rejection". He added: "No, I am not talking about charity funds, but the 'life science breakthrough bonus fund'."

“Life Science Breakthrough Prize Fund?”

"Yes! Establish the Life Science Breakthrough Award, Basic Physics Breakthrough Award, Mathematics Breakthrough Award, New Horizons Award and other awards, and reward scientists who have made important achievements in life sciences, basic sciences and other fields, providing them with more freedom and more opportunities to help them achieve greater achievements." Bian Xuedao finally said: "I want to set the individual prize of the 'Breakthrough Award' at US$3 million, making it the number one award in the scientific community."

After a few seconds of silence, Jobs asked, "So you need my sponsorship?"

Bian Xuedao nodded: "Yes."
