Phil Schiller looked with some concern at Steve, who was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back in his office.

In the past two years, Steve's health has deteriorated rapidly, and he has put so much energy into his work that most of the time he even takes up normal rest time, after all, he is no longer young, he was born in 1955, and he is in his 50s this year, not to mention, he still has a disease......

Thinking about it, Phil put down his work, poured a glass of boiling water, gently pushed open the door of the cubicle, put the glass of water on the desk, and then opened the drawer of the desk and took out the medicine inside.

"Steve, it's time for you to take your medicine. He reminded that he hoped that this reason would make the other person stop.

“…… Oh, Phil, take those things away, I don't want to see them. ”

In the eyes of this Apple product fan, the old man who is like a god is like a child at the moment willfully showing his disgust.

Phil Schiller spread his hands: "If you don't want to take medicine, then you better control your emotions, doctors have warned you more than once that intense emotions can make your condition progresse faster." ”

Steve was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly compromised: "Okay!"

Although he agreed, Jobs, who was no longer pacing back and forth, still clearly saw excitement between his eyebrows.

Phil knew that Steve was so happy about what he was doing, he was waiting for the young CEO of Facebook to come over, and since the end of the meeting in the morning, he has become more and more impatient. Phil couldn't understand Steve's attention. Of course, there is something even more incomprehensible to him.

"Steve, are you going to agree to his proposal when you asked Ann to meet with him?"

"Yes, Phil, Facebook, Apple, and J.H. Network, a three-way cooperation, a good idea, isn't it?"

"But......" Phil frowned, "I don't think it's that important to Apple, Steve." Not bad. Group buying and location-based advertising may seem appealing, but that's not Apple's core business, and Apple doesn't need to distract itself from the advertising business, which is Amazon, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft's turf. ”

Steve Jobs' eyes widened in surprise: "Group buying, location-based advertising? Dear Phil. That's what Ann showed to people on Facebook. Apple and I didn't need them, and Ann showed me a completely different, more visionary concept. ”

"What concept?" Phil wondered. Thinking back to what Ahn Joon-hyuk said, he didn't find anything else noteworthy.

Jobs opened his mouth to explain something, but after a pause, he shook his head again: "I'm sorry, Phil, I don't know how to say it to make you understand, because you are not Jobs, and you are not Ahn Junhyuk, and your eyes can't see that far." ”

“…………”

It's not the first time I've been with Jobs for many years, and it's not the first time I've been so embarrassed, and Jobs always evaluates others in a self-centered way, and he's usually outspoken, otherwise he wouldn't be so annoying.

However, Phil had long been accustomed to it, and with a wry smile, he put aside this embarrassment and turned to doubt: "Since you think that the concept he showed through the map is very important, then why do you agree to cooperate with Facebook and J.H Network? ”

Jobs didn't blame Phil for asking this question, for ordinary people, it is normal to have such thoughts, he thought about it, did not answer directly, but stood up, came to the window, and pointed to the vast industrial park that seemed to be shrouded in light veil in the smoke and rain outside the window.

Under the faint rain curtain, uniformed workers in the park come and go, busy but orderly, like a small town in the city.

He pointed to them and asked Phil, "My friend, who created all this?"

"It's you, Steve!" replied Phil Schiller earnestly.

Steve's old face wrinkled with a smile, and he nodded equally seriously: "Yes, it's me, I love this company I founded single-handedly, and although it decayed soon after I left, I never gave up on it...... But we can boldly imagine the following, Phil, what would have happened if I hadn't come back?"

Phil Schiller thought for a moment, and then replied solemnly: "It's going to be a depression here, and then I'll see it in another company you lead." ”

"............Haha I have a genius head!"

"Ahn Jun Hyuk is the same person as me, and when dealing with people like us, you have to be prepared to compromise and make trade-offs, and you have to learn to give in and win-win, instead of eating alone...... Once you do that, you have set up a terrible enemy for yourself, and unless you can defeat us in an instant, every flash of inspiration in our brains can be used as food for a new rise!"

"Today, I was able to use my genius to start Apple. Tomorrow, I can use my genius to create another banana company, a tomato company, or a potato company. It's the same with Ahn Joon-hyuk, today he can explain those ideas, if you kick him out, tomorrow he can sell the ideas to Google, sell them to Amazon, sell them to Yahoo...... You know, his explanation is irresistible!"

"Human beings are the most greedy creatures, and the moment every human being begins to conceive in the womb of the mother, it means that countless brothers and sisters who have entered the mother's womb like it have been robbed of all their chances of survival...... The viciousness of the billions, every innocent baby who croaks to the ground, isn't it the most terrifying devil in the world?"

He let out a slight sigh in the soft, as if also filled with waterline lines, and Phil Schiller carefully looked at the afterglow that appeared in the corner of his side eye, the light. is flashing wisdom:

Therefore, the only wisdom that human beings need to learn in the world of the world is how to change from a devil to a human. The first lesson of this wisdom is to learn to coexist!"

In just one sentence, he contained all the joys, pains, and bitterness of the first half of his life, which condensed into such a truth in half of his life.

……

……

It was said that they would meet in the afternoon, and Ahn Junhyuk could not really wait until then to leave, so around 12 noon, he took a bus and appeared alone in Cupertino.

This small city near Mountain View. Adjacent to the west coast of the San Francisco Bay Area. The silhouette of the mountains hides the ocean in the distance behind the hues of the rising horizon, the sky is low with lead clouds, and here it is also raining like Palo Alto. The sound of rain is dripping, and it is a quiet town. It seems that people also appear to be modest. Stand under the canopy on the lower platform. Feel the gentle wind from the Bay Area, across the vast land, gently blowing on the open road. He looked at it peacefully, the slippery road like a stream, the water crumpled by the wind, pushing the duckweed-like umbrellas forward and backward.

"Didn't you bring an umbrella with you?"

After standing under the canopy for a while, a young woman who had just hurriedly crossed the road and ran into the place to hide from the rain was probably bored, and then tilted her head and asked.

Ahn Junhyuk retracted his gaze from afar, and smiled in the woman's curious eyes: "Yes, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't even eat lunch." ”

His gaze stayed on her chest for a moment, and the woman was obviously aware of it, but Ahn Junhyuk's eyes were clear, and it was really impossible to think about the dirty place, and the woman looked down and realized that it was her work card that showed a corner.

She tidied it up, and then heard the young and handsome Asian across from her ask, "Do you do IT?"

"Hmm......" The woman thought for a moment of distress before slowly nodding: "Sort of!"

"Apple, or Oracle, or Seagate, Symantec?"

Ahn Jun-hyuk named a series of Internet technology companies, because these companies are headquartered in Cupertino, and some people joked that Cupertino is the heart of the entire Silicon Valley, standing on a high-rise building here and throwing a bottle of drink, at least 8 of the 10 people smashed are employees of IT companies.

If nothing else, Apple has tens of thousands of employees here.

The woman's cheeks turned red when he said it, and she was a little embarrassed: "Hehe, I can't afford to work in those big companies, uh, sorry for not making it clear just now, I'm a reporter!"

As she spoke, she took out her work card, "I currently work for the technology section of the San Francisco Chronicle, well, I'm still in an internship, get to know me, my name is Lucy." ”

"Hello, Miss Uncrowned King, you can call me Ann!" Ahn Joon-hyuk shook her hand.

"Ha, what an uncrowned king, that's the patent of big names, and it has nothing to do with a small role like me during the internship period. ”

As he spoke, a bus came from a distance, stopped here, and seeing that neither of them had any intention of getting on the bus, the bus set off again.

Lucy looked at Ahn Joon-hyuk: "I thought you were waiting for the bus." ”

"I didn't say that. Ahn Jun-hyuk shrugged and pointed to the rain that was still falling outside: "I'm just like you, and I was stopped here by it." ”

"Ha Luha, in this way, we meet like this, according to the habits of you Chinese, it should be called ...... Fate?"

"Yes, it's called fate. Ahn Jun Hyuk nodded, but then said, "However, I am not Chinese, I am Korean." ”

"Ah......h......h There are a lot of Chinese people in the San Francisco Bay Area, so I ......"

"It doesn't matter, Asians all look the same, and it's normal to admit mistakes. ”

After a few more apologies, seeing that Ahn Jun-hyuk really didn't mind, Lucy quickly resumed the conversation: "You're in the IT industry, right?

Waiting for the rain to stop, it was not bad to have someone to chat, and Ahn Junhyuk did not show disgust at her behavior of inquiring about her whereabouts, but smiled slightly: "Apple." ”

This answer immediately caused Lucy to exclaim: "Wow, you work at Apple?Sooooooo.Cool!" Then followed by questions one by one, such as how is Apple's treatment, what is the usual working environment, have you ever seen its legendary Mr. Jobs, and whether Jobs is particularly genius and charming in daily life.

Ahn Junhyuk couldn't laugh or cry when she asked, and was a little puzzled: "Lucy." Why do you care so much about Apple's news?"

Hearing him ask about this, Lucy's shoulders immediately collapsed in depression, "Alas, because this is my ......job," she said, and she began to complain about the pain of intern reporters, all valuable news has no share in them, that is the honor of the big reporters, they can only come to run some worthless, or too small value, the big reporters don't bother to take care of the material.

She's coming over this time. It was the above that arranged for her to listen to Apple's postponement of the conference. However, everyone knows that Apple has always gone its own way under the influence of Jobs, and it did not take the initiative to release the reason, so the outside world should not want to pull a letter out of their mouth. In addition, this news has also received little attention. Lucy, who was still in her internship, was thrown here from above without any choice.

"But it's nothing. Anyway, I'm a fan of Apple, so I'm going to take a trip! When the time comes, I can just praise our beloved Steve Jobs and I can handle it!" Lucy was very open-minded.

The two chatted idly. I don't know how long it took, the rain curtain outside the canopy finally became sparse and thin, the cow-like rain sparsely floated, and the breeze blew and disappeared, seeing that it would no longer wet his clothes, Ahn Jun-hyuk prepared to go to Apple's headquarters, and Lucy followed as a matter of course.

"Actually, I've been walking around outside Apple for the last few days, hoping to meet Mr. Jobs. ”

"For what?"

Lucy's eyes widened in surprise at his inquiry, "Don't you think he's great? Don't you worship him? God, if I work at Apple like you, I'll always have a notebook!"

As she spoke, she really took out a small notebook from her pocket, and she said excitedly: "I want to record every word he says, every speech he makes, every story that happens around him, if one day I can become a celebrity, I will use these recorded things to write a celebrity biography for Mr. Jobs!"

In many countries in the world, authors do not need the author's authorization to write biographies of celebrities, because this is based on the principle of freedom of speech and expression and restoration of historical truth, and any country with sound laws will not stipulate that celebrity biographies must be authorized by the biographer, otherwise, the biography will not be able to maintain its objective position at all.

However, not everyone can write a biography casually, and authors who do not have authoritative information and interpretation qualifications can write it, and the so-called biography will not only not be able to sell it, but will also face prosecution.

That's why Lucy said wait for her to become a celebrity.

Ahn Junhyuk shook his head a little funny, he didn't expect to be bored for a while, but he actually met a loyal fan of Jobs, and he was going to write a biography of Jobs. Thinking about it, he had a teasing mind, and joked: "I'm also great, maybe you should write it for me?"

"Huh?"

Lucy looked at An Junhyuk like a madman, far away, the gate of Apple's headquarters standing under the clouds had appeared at the end of the road, looking at her stunned look, An Junhyuk put one hand in his pocket and waved his hand to her: "Miss Lucy, thank you for spending this boring time with me, I hope we will meet again in the future." ”

With that, he walked quickly towards the door of Apple, leaving Lucy alone in place, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and his first reaction was to wave his fist at Ahn Junhyuk's back angrily and funny: "Damn guy, don't let me see you next time!"

She didn't believe what he said that he was also great, and of course she wasn't so angry, just a very ordinary joke, but as a cautious woman, she still quietly cursed and wished him that he forgot to bring his key card and would not be able to enter the company and be deducted from the bonus.

Not long after, Lucy was surprised to see that Ann, who had already walked outside the Apple gate, was actually stopped.

"Isn't it, my curse is so accurate?" Lucy, who was surprised, couldn't help but worry when she saw that "Ann" was being invited aside by the security guard, and in the security booth, another security guard was on the phone.

Although the two have only just met, but the chat is quite a contract, "An" has a special temperament, which makes people feel very comfortable when they get along with him, if it weren't for that temperament, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk under the canopy on the platform before.

Lucy regretted her "curse" a little, Apple is a large enterprise with tens of thousands of employees, and the security management tasks are extremely strict and heavy, and the security guards don't seem to know "An", if things get bigger, Apple doesn't know how to deal with him, in case he loses his job......

The more she thought about Lucy, the more she was unhappy, and hurriedly trotted over there, ready to find a way to help him get out, and just after running a few steps, she saw that behind the high-tech gate at the end of the road, a battery car drove from the depths of the vast park and stopped inside the gate.

Subsequently, an elderly man, accompanied by another middle-aged man, got out of the car.

The moment the old man's figure fell into view, Lucy's footsteps suddenly stopped, one hand slowly covered her mouth, and her eyes were full of incredulity!

Is that...... Steve Jobs!

This...... This......

Just when Lucy, who was in the distance, stunned by this sudden change, Jobs hurriedly came out of the gate and looked Ahn Junhyuk up and down, and Ahn Junhyuk also looked at him.

Lead-colored clouds hung low, a very common winter rainy day in Cupertino and the entire San Francisco Bay Area, the rain had stopped, thick clouds spread across the sky, and in the westerly direction, behind the mountains and the sky, the flowing clouds showed a gap, and a beam of afternoon sunlight leaked down from that gap, like a stairway to heaven falling to earth.

In this background of haze and light, Jobs gradually smiled, and bowed first.

There is no talking, and at this time, there is no need for verbal communication, and Ahn Junhyuk bows back to show respect for him.

The clouds changed, the sunlight expanded and contracted, and the difference in color and brightness slammed the scene of the two of them saluting each other deeply into Lucy's mind and chest, and subconsciously, she took out a small quick camera from her pocket and circled the picture in the lens.

Click!

The sound was slight, and the fill light was faintly invisible, but like a pebble falling into a lake, the ripples spread...... (To be continued......)
