Chapter 245: Thank You Enough
Half an hour later, under the leadership of Apple's marketing manager, Wang gradually walked out of the airport and got into the elongated black Lincoln sedan.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. The other party's tone was full of apologies, "Apple needs to announce the guest list for the conference in advance, so it has caused you some trouble." ”
"It doesn't matter. Wang gradually smiled and shook his head.
Although he was a little frightened, he really didn't mind.
After all, these people didn't take off their clothes, they just asked for autographs ...
Still, Silicon Valley does do as Dorsey says, because of the ubiquity of computers and the ease of switching to the web after a busy day.
It seems that I am even more popular here than in New York. ”
Alas, it would be better if they only paid to read and did not have such star-chasing behavior.
Wang gradually thought as he walked into the other party's open car door.
"Mr. Wang, give you an introduction. The marketing manager pointed to the big fat man sitting inside, "This is one of the co-founders of Apple Computer, Mr. Wozniak." ”
Even if he doesn't understand technology, Wang gradually can be regarded as engaged in the computer industry.
So, naturally, he had heard of this legendary programmer with a big name.
"Mr. Wozniak, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wang gradually stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party.
Unexpectedly, the big fat man on the opposite side directly handed over two books.
"Mr. Wang, can you sign for me?"
Belch...
Wang gradually looked at the other party's sincere eyes, and was a little speechless for a while.
"Of course. He was stunned for a moment, then took the bookmark.
But when the king handed the two copies back to the other party, Wozniak pushed another box over.
"Mr. Wang, this is the latest Apple laptop, and I promised to give it to you. ”
Mac, promise?
Wang gradually looked at each other, a little confused for a while.
It wasn't until Wozniak said "Twitter" that he finally understood what was going on.
So, this is the big guy who didn't take money as money and funded a group of book lovers to go to the NASDAQ in New York?
Wang gradually looked at the legendary programmer with an excited face on the other side, and complained frantically in his heart, "Please, you are a legend and super billionaire in the Internet industry."
Don't learn from Bill?? Gates set up a charitable fund, and he didn't go to a promiscuous party like Erikson?
Instead of doing such a boring thing?
Thank you so much!"
"Yes, King. Wozniak asked familiarly, "What the hell is going on with that 'Helling Empire'? Do you write a prequel to Anomaly?"
"Uh," Wang gradually thought for a moment, and came up with the most common excuse used by writers, "This kind of thing still needs inspiration." ”
Unexpectedly, Wozniak nodded thoughtfully.
"It's true that creative things need a lot of inspiration.
Just like when I was 6 years old, I built semiconductor radios, and when I was 11 years old, I introduced symbols into computer systems and recompiled game consoles in the basic language. ”
Then, he sighed, "In recent years, I feel that I have run out of inspiration, and it is not so easy to make breakthroughs. ”
What about Apple's unique operating system? In your eyes, this is not a breakthrough?
Wang gradually looked at Wozniak, only to see that the other party had a serious face, without the slightest look of showing off.
This conversation can't go on!
The marketing manager saw that the carriage was quiet for a while, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, you can rest in the hotel first." ”
"In the evening, we'll send someone to bring you the final version of the Apple audio player. ”
"Delivered by me. Wozniak interjected, glaring at the marketing manager with his eyes.
"What do you want to do with this big guy?" the marketing manager was about to collapse.
However, considering Wozniak's status, he could only grit his teeth and agree.
Huh?
Samples sent by the co-founders in person?
Apple attaches so much importance to audio players, so does it want to cover some Apple stocks?
Just as Wang gradually frantically flipped through the works in his mind, trying to find traces of the Apple player, the car had slowly stopped downstairs in the hotel.
After the marketing manager instructed the waiter to help Wang gradually pick up the suitcase, he said goodbye and left.
"Mr. Wang, then I won't disturb your rest. ”
I have to say that it is the place with the highest density of rich people outside of Wall Street and Hollywood.
This five-star hotel in Silicon Valley, at the very least, is almost impeccable in terms of food and drink.
To sum up, it is probably that here Sichuan people can eat hot pot, and French people can eat snails.
Even if the cannibal patriarch comes, he can get a list of travelers.
Wang Yan, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately threw out other ideas and ordered a Chinese meal first.
After that, he cleaned up his mood and went to their respective presidential suites with Tom to rest.
At this time, Wang gradually remembered that at the airport, the fat man who was kicked out by himself because the momentum rushing over was too scary...
Looks like it's Mr. Wozniak, right?
At this time, Netscape's R&D department.
Head of Technical Department Mark ?? Anderson, frowning, looked at a technical puzzle.
Since the "browser war" with Microsoft intensified, he has led the technical team and worked hard day and night.
The only leisure time, in addition to sleeping, is probably every Saturday night, watching "Abnormal Creature Observations", which is very popular in Silicon Valley.
I have to say that the TV series was quite to his liking.
It is not like the film and television dramas adapted from DC and Marvel Comics, which follow the model of "villains appear, villains are very powerful, superheroes appear, and superheroes defeat villains".
Of course, the heroines in "Anomaly" are also very cute.
The most critical problem is that they are not like the heroines in other works, who can roll the sheets together by finding a "handsome guy like a campus character".
This is very popular with Silicon Valley programmers, including myself.
Mark?? Anderson confirmed the time, and it was Saturday.
He looked at the undebugged program, then picked up the phone and dialed the maid at home.
"Help me use the VCR to record the Anomalous Creature Experience. ”
But when you hang up the phone, Mark?? Anderson received a text message on his phone that it was from Mr. Wozniak.
At this critical juncture, even Netscape Chairman Jim?? Clarke's text messages, he may not even read.
Mr. Wozniak is a respected predecessor in the hearts of all programmers in Silicon Valley, a pioneer who is not adulterated with any other impurities.
Mark?? Anderson clicked on the text message and found that it read: Wang Jian, the author of "Abnormal Creatures", was staying in a hotel in Silicon Valley.
Are you interested, with the original author, to watch the adapted TV series?
