At one o'clock in the afternoon, at a seaside cafe. Instead of choosing lunch, Simon made an appointment for afternoon tea.
No one cared about these things. At their position, it didn't matter what they ate or whether they ate or not. The most important thing was that they could meet. As long as they met, anything could be discussed.
Li Qingyang came on time. When he came in, Steve was already waiting in the corner by the window. At this time, Gang Leader Qiao still had a head full of white hair, and he looked much more energetic.
Steve also looked up at Li Qingyang, wanting to carefully observe this young man who had been in the limelight recently. Yesterday, his old friend Simon called him and said that Li Qingyang wanted to pay him a visit.
Steve didn't like socializing like this. He would rather spend time with his research. However, he had to give face to his old friend, so he still agreed.
Before he came, Steve had already thought about it. If Li Qingyang was a young man who was arrogant and domineering because he had made a lot of money in the foreign exchange market, he would turn around and leave. At that time, Simon would not say anything.
However, when he saw Li Qingyang walk in, he saw a calm and confident young man who had been in a high position for many years.
He did not see the feeling of those nouveau riche who had followers everywhere and were covered in jewels. Thinking of this, Steve wanted to laugh again. If Li Qingyang was really such an unpresentable person, why would his old friend ask him to do him such a favor?
Steve looked at Li Qingyang, and Li Qingyang's eyes never left him. One had to sigh. This Gang Leader Qiao, who had become all-powerful and had countless fans, really had a special charm about him. It was a charm that made people feel like they could entrust everything to him.
This kind of charm would make people subconsciously believe everything he said and believe that he would bring them surprises. What kind of person possessed such charm? Liar.
That's right, he was a liar.
Even though he didn't have many assets, his name was well-known on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley. He was a lunatic, a lunatic who gave up everything for a dream.
This was evident from the time he entered Apple twice. In 1985, he insisted on using his ideal system to develop products that suffered consecutive failures. Apple's board of directors decided to revoke Steve's management power. In a fit of anger, Steve sold his shares in Apple and started a new business.
Twelve years later, Steve left Apple to create NeXTStep, which was hailed as the most developed operating system at the time. It was acquired by Apple and Steve returned to Apple as chairman.
The NeXTStep operating system, which was developed by Steve jobs, didn't disappoint Apple. It was the prototype of the famous iPhone operating system.
Now, Apple's well-received iPad digital music player used an upgraded version of the NeXTStep operating system, which was later rated as the first generation of the Apple operating system, MacOSX.
Later, when people talked about Steve jobs, they would always think of Apple and iPhone, but very few people knew that he was the one who made the computer a personal item.
In 1977, Apple launched the Apple II computer at the first West Coast Computer Exhibition. This was also the world's first true personal computer. It supported 280x192 resolution video output, could display 16 colors, and had a monophonic sound output architecture. From then on, the computer could emit sound.
From then on, people began to think that computers were not just large computers. They could also watch movies, listen to music, and be used as entertainment facilities.
It was also from this time that the school began to pay attention to the cultivation of computer talents, and there was a computer course. Until the 1990s, schools still used Apple II for teaching purposes.
More than once, he had said in public that the person Apple was most grateful for was Tim. Bernas. Li, the father of the World wide Web.
The success of the Apple II allowed Apple to discover a door, and the emergence of the World wide Web undoubtedly installed a accelerator for this door, speeding up its opening process.
No one could erase Steve's contribution to the advancement of science and technology and the development of mankind.
Just as the two sides were looking at each other, Li Qingyang had already come to Steve's side and stretched out his right hand." It's really an honor to meet the famous Mr. Steve."
Li Qingyang's words were really not a compliment, but a heartfelt admiration. The product came first. This had always been Steve's philosophy. Everyone wanted to make money, but they couldn't make money just because they wanted to.
"You're welcome. I'm the one who should be honored. He's so young and his net worth has already exceeded 2 billion. It makes me feel really ashamed." Steve laughed.
"Where? He was just lucky." Li Qingyang was very humble.
"Lucky? I don't think so. I heard that you invested 500 million USD into Google? "That's a very promising company. I have high hopes for them. If it weren't for the lack of funds, I would have wanted to get involved."
Li Qingyang pouted." That's a pity. I hope you won't regret it in the future."
" Hahaha, young man, are you very confident?" Steve jobs admired Li Qingyang's confidence, just like he did." Why? Did you ask me to meet you today because you want to stick your hand into Apple?"
" If you agree, I have no objections." Li Qingyang raised both his hands, as if he was very willing.
My company doesn't lack funds. It looks like it'll be a little difficult for you to join." Steve leaned back in his chair and looked at Li Qingyang with interest. He wanted to see how Li Qingyang would answer him. He found it interesting to chat with this young man.
"Is that so? Was it all up to one's efforts? "I've always thought that there's nothing I can't do in the business world. I just don't have enough chips."
"Oh, then I'd like to hear what you have in your hands. That billions of liquid funds?”Steve became more and more interested in Li Qingyang.
In the next two hours, no one knew what they talked about, but from the way the two of them walked out of the coffee shop as if they hadn't seen each other for many years, it seemed that both of them were very happy.
