578. What?! Jobs Died?! (Chapter 2)(1/2)
Cao Yang did not have time to respond to Boss Ma’s debate on mobile payment.
In March 2010, an event that was of great significance to the Internet industry occurred-
Former Apple CEO Jobs died at home on March 5 because of pancreatic cancer.
Compared to Cao Yang's memory in his previous life, the passing of the gang leader Qiao was 1 and a half years earlier.
Jobs in his previous life should have passed away in October 2011.
I didn't expect this time to be so soon.
"What?! Jobs died?! Why is this?"
Cao Ying couldn't believe what he heard.
Because in his memory, Jobs shouldn't have died so soon.
For Cao Yang, Jobs is indeed a very, very important symbol in his life.
In other words, Jobs was one of his role models and a beacon for him to chase.
He thought that Jobs had a significant influence on him, or on the whole world. In his previous life, many of Jobs' design concepts influenced Cao Yang, as well as his pursuit of perfectionism, and Jobs's idealism engraved in his bones all infected Cao Yang himself.
He never thought that he would become Jobs one day, but he continued to move forward on this idealistic path.
Understand that in your memory, it also exists in the real world now.
Jobs has been striving for his ideals throughout his life, and in this world, he thinks only one genius in his mind—
That is Cao Yang.
But for Cao Yang, Jobs is the real genius, no matter how the outside world evaluates him.
Perhaps in this world, everyone, including the facts, is explaining-
Cao Yang is the first person to invent a smartphone. Bomi's smartphones have brought humans into a new mobile era. This is extremely great. Many people feel extremely shocked when they see the video of Bomi's smartphone launch conference that year, because it is a truly product that can be described by [high technology] and beyond human imagination.
But for Cao Yang, Jobs, he is a genius who truly created smartphones in the world, created countless design concepts, and had a fanatical persistence in this ideal.
Yes, genius.
This word can only be used to describe him.
Because, in a sense, Cao Yang and Jobs are both the same type of people, they are both pure idealists, and they can burn themselves regardless of everything for their dreams and their wishes to realize.
Maybe Jobs's departure so early this time is not related to Cao Yang.
In his previous life, Jobs did not encounter a terrible opponent like Cao Yang. All the design concepts were the latest, and his only competitor was himself.
The only one who really defeated Jobs was Jobs.
But this time the situation is completely different. The iPhone already had a Bomi smartphone.
The iPad has not been released yet, and the Bomi tablet is about to be launched.
Apple iOS R&D is one year later than Bomi’s Hongmeng system.
It can be said that for Jobs, he met the only real opponent in his life in this life.
That is Cao Yang.
Jobs once said countless times during his lifetime that he thought he was a very amazing genius, but he did not expect that in the far east, in this land of China, there was another awesome and enviable genius.
He is Cao Yang.
To me, it seems that the nemesis of the hit, I always beat him one beat later, and I am very unwilling to accept this, so I keep working hard to go further and further on the road to surpass him, but maybe it is precisely because of this.
The excessive fatigue and the desire to surpass Cao Yang made Jobs unable to escape the extreme deterioration of his condition.
Since October last year, Jobs' condition has reached a point in his illness.
In this case, Jobs still insisted on making a great product that was more amazing and satisfying at his job, which could defeat Bomi smartphones, but now no one can see it because it only exists in Jobs' own brain, and in the end he still failed to get what he wanted.
Will Jobs have endless regrets when he dies?
For Cao Yang, Jobs' death was not like this.
It was not that he defeated Jobs, but that Jobs defeated himself.
It was when Cao Yang heard the message of Jobs' death at that moment that he was touched.
The designs he used were all from the past life that surpassed the future. If it weren't for this, wouldn't Jobs have passed away so early?
This may be the butterfly effect.
Sure enough, the world has been changed, and it has been more or less affected by the butterfly effect.
On March 5, Cao Yang received news of Jobs' death. He flew to the United States with his wife Pei Siqing that night to prepare to attend the private funeral of Joe Gangmaster.
On the way, Miss Mining asked him in surprise, "Ah? Did Jobs die?"
"Yeah." Cao Yang nodded, "He should be the last person I admire in this world."
Cao Yang admires him as an idealist, regardless of character.
The death of this opponent touched Cao Yang's heart greatly.
Sometimes, his mood is actually very contradictory, and Cao Yang hopes that Jobs will leave early, but when he really leaves the world, he feels a little reluctant.
I always feel that in this world, everything he was familiar with in his previous life would eventually disappear.
This symbol, this meaningful monument, had collapsed at some point.
Seeing the expression on Cao Yang's face, Pei Siqing stretched out his hand and gently held his palm.
...
A private memorial service for Apple co-founder Jobs was held Sunday night local time at Stanford University Memorial Church.
After Stanford University invited Jobs to give a speech to graduates in 2005, it once again welcomed the legendary figure and held a private memorial service for Jobs at the Stanford University Memorial Church.
Security personnel from Apple, Stanford University and local police departments blocked the main buildings on campus, only allowing people invited to attend the private memorial service to enter.
More than 150 Silicon Valley celebrities arrived one after another in black limousines and recent off-road vehicles on Sunday at 6 p.m., intriguing bystanders who were unaware of the private memorial service.
Students and nearby residents were forced to leave when the guests' vehicles clearly formed a temporary checkpoint and were allowed to move along the main boulevards on campus.
This time, Jobs' private memorial service was very low-key and did not want to be disturbed by the media, so it was closed. No media reporters were invited. There were security guards outside to stop him, and no one would be allowed to interview and take photos.
The whole process was carried out in a secret environment.
Valley boat
This is also a respect for the deceased's wishes during his lifetime. Jobs himself was a very maverick person, and his attitude towards media reporters was not much better. After his death, he just wanted to keep the funeral and memorial service low-key and not be disturbed by the secular media.
Apple invited Jobs's friends and tech industry members to attend the private memorial service, but the invited person must reply to the invitation through the Emerson Collective charity.
The charity was founded by Jobs' wife Lauren Powell Jobs.
There are very few people invited to the memorial service. The list of invited characters was drafted by Jobs during his lifetime.
Basically, they are their relatives, friends, family members... and the people he wants to invite.
For example, Cao Yang.
At first, Cao Yang thought he had invited many celebrities, but after arriving at the scene, he found that it seemed that this was a very private memorial service, and the number of invited people was extremely limited.
But he didn't understand why he and Jobs had no close relationship, no cooperation, no personal relationship, and even very few opportunities to meet.
That is, there was a brief negotiation before to exchange patents between Bomi and Apple.
In this case, Bomi should obviously be Apple's competitor, so it is really strange why Jobs wanted to list Cao Yang's name on the invitation list.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe Jobs cherishes each other because of the heroes.
In this world, Cao Yang is the only one who can truly understand Jobs.
perhaps--
For Jobs, he believed that Cao Yang was the confidant he was destined to be.
Cao Yang said, I am actually just imitating you in my previous life.
In the end, you know yourself or yourself.
However, these are just Cao Yang's own guesses, and he doesn't know the actual situation.
...
Jobs' sister, writer Mona Simpson, arrived at the memorial service at 5:30 p.m.
Then there is Bill Gates, and Google's founder Sergey Brin...
Basically, many of them were partners of Jobs during his lifetime, and many of them were American business giants.
Then, when Cao Yang arrived at the scene in a special car, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding media and caused a great sensation.
Although they were not allowed to enter a private memorial service, the reporters still surrounded the memorial service. Even if the content of the memorial service could not be photographed, at least the person attending the memorial service could be photographed.
But no one expected that there was an unexpected eastern corner.
Cao Yang.
Cao Yang is really a favorite of the media recently. Since he delivered a famous speech about being a big beauty in the Davos Forum, many people in the world are very curious about this world's richest man who is usually mysterious but is extremely baptized in his speeches and is extremely brave and outspoken.
