Chapter 139: Apple App
The title of honorary citizen is just a fictitious title, with no salary and no bonus.
However, according to the laws of the local state, this title is awarded to those foreign nationals who are not Sam's nationals, who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the local state of Sam's country, and have been recognized by the locals.
All the rights of citizens of Sam's Country except the right to vote and the right to stand for election.
In other words, the current Zhang Yi is a Sam country from the Celestial Empire, and the treatment of buying a house, shopping, insurance, etc., is exactly the same as that of the locals.
The main thing, of course, is to have an unrestricted right to reside in Sam's Country.
When traveling to and from Sam's Country, you do not need to apply for a visa at the Sam's Country Embassy in advance.
What's more, if you have a Sam's Country visa, you can automatically have visa-free access to more than 100 countries, which is a good thing to save time and effort.
What Zhang Yi values is its convenience, considering that in the future, he will definitely travel back and forth between Sam's Country and other countries in the world, and this honorary citizen title is indeed what he needs.
Jobs, who had an arrogant personality, was able to put down his body and consider these trivial things for Zhang Yi, which also made Zhang Yi grateful.
Although he knew very well in his heart that the main purpose of the other party was just to let Zhang Yi concentrate his energy and time to improve Apple's Mac OS system as soon as possible, he also let Zhang Yi express his gratitude to Jobs.
Come and don't get along, it's rude.
He could only secretly make up his mind in his heart that he would give appropriate advice to Jobs' health problems and try his best to avoid his untimely death.
It's just that as a businessman, in the face of a company as big as Apple, if you don't take advantage of it and cheat the other party fiercely, you will be sorry for yourself.
After all, behind every successful businessman is a huge number of companies that have been killed by him.
In order to let Zhang Yi quickly promote the work of removing bugs, Jobs coerced the board of directors to take out 1% of Apple shares and transfer them to Zhang Yi for free.
Eat people with a soft mouth and take people with short hands.
At the moment of getting the stock, Zhang Yi could only silently speed up the pace of pest removal in the Apple system.
In his previous life, as a programmer, Zhang Yi used Apple computers the most in his work, which is also the most popular work and development environment in the small circle of programmers.
Therefore, he is really able to grasp the problems of Apple's system, and it is simply effortless.
In my previous life, I loved the development environment of Apple computers because Microsoft at that time was too bad for the development environment.
Microsoft in the time of Bill Gates had an aggressive face everywhere, and for peer software companies, they couldn't swallow you, so they launched free products of the same type and dragged you down.
For example, Netscape's netcape browser, Microsoft directly bundled the free IE Microsoft, and finally forced Netscape to go out of business.
Another example is Borland, the famous Turbo C compiler is developed by it, in the computer science class of the Celestial Empire, this software is a must software for every computer, to meet the needs of students to learn C language and C++ language. In the 90s, the Delphi high-level programming language, which programmers loved, was also from this company.
However, when Microsoft could not be acquired, even the technical founder of Borland Company was poached by Microsoft, which directly led to the deterioration of Borland Company, and was finally annexed by other companies.
In order to fight the C++ high-level programming language, Microsoft came up with VC++;
In order to counter the JA VA language, Microsoft has introduced C#.
As the world's largest software company, Microsoft's hatred of open source software companies has always been a tradition for Microsoft.
It wasn't until around 2017 that Bill faded out of Microsoft's management, and Ballmer, who was in charge of Microsoft at that time, changed course and bought github, the largest open-source software repository, and launched VS Studio and VS Code, which integrated almost all software development environments, allowing programmers to completely reverse the inherent image of conservatism and arrogance towards Microsoft.
Around 2000, Apple's positioning was rather vague.
It's okay to say it's a hardware company, because it makes Apple computers after all;
If it is a software company, there are good reasons for it, Apple operating system, such a large software, it can be done.
However, for Microsoft's Windows system, which is so popular in the market, it is powerless to resist at all.
In the last life, the Apple version of the most commonly used QQ chat software was also a long time before it came out.
The early Apple computers, apart from office work and graphics, were lackluster in other respects.
Even the most popular Xcode IDE for programmers was developed in 2003.
Apple computers have always been tepid in previous lives, only in the Starbucks café, occasionally you can see one or two people pretending to be 13, holding Apple laptops, but installing the Windows system. In Jobs' view, this is an absolute disgrace.
In the computer desktop market, compared with Windows, Apple's market share is pitiful to the point where it can almost be ignored.
The point is that the price is too high, and the price of a computer with the same level configuration is almost three to five times that of a regular PC, and it is impossible to play games, and many software cannot be used.
To put it bluntly, it is because the application scenarios of Apple computers are relatively limited, which limits the scope of its use, resulting in its sales always being half-dead.
And the appearance of Zhang Yi just makes up for these shortcomings of Apple computers.
While deworming with Apple engineers, Luo Bingyun and Jingjing's visas had expired, and coupled with the needs of work, they could only return to China first.
The two senior brothers, during this time, traveled to almost all the martial arts halls in various cities in Sam Country, looking for people to compete in martial arts, but they gained a lot.
After all, the overseas martial arts inheritance of the Celestial Empire is far more complete and developed than the domestic one. Even, occasionally you can see some foreign martial arts practitioners, and the level of kung fu has reached a certain level.
Today's martial arts, if you cherish yourself again, it is estimated that the inheritance will be completely cut off. Therefore, these martial arts masters living abroad are also educated, as long as the moral character is not bad, after paying a certain amount of tuition, whether it is a person from the Celestial Empire or a foreigner, you can still learn real kung fu.
However, the two of them were also forced by visa problems, so they could only escort the two daughters back to China first.
With Zhang Yi's skills, he doesn't need others to protect him at all, but after several people are gone, he is a little alone.
Out of boredom, I rewrote all the software currently produced by Microhardware with the Objective-C high-level programming language officially recommended by Apple.
Then, the micro-hardware and software store was transplanted to the Apple operating system, and several rewritten software were all added to the mall.
In particular, he hopes that with the help of this software, a simple and personalized development interface, and rich support functions, Apple will completely give up, and in a few years, the Xcode integrated development environment will be launched.
