Chapter 775 - iCEO (1st Update)
Jobs looked around and could tell that this was halfway up a mountain. It is already winter, and although the grass on both sides of the stone road is still green, many yellow bamboo leaves have fallen.
The archway in front of me looks like it has been some years, and the red vermilion paint is mottled and falling, and it looks a little dilapidated.
In addition to the plaque on the top of the head, there is a pair of couplets on both sides of the archway, the upper couplet reads "One breath lasts forever and the immortal is floating beyond the law realm", and the lower one is "Wanfeng Huanlie Tianmen opens to see the cloud platform".
Of course, Jobs didn't understand what this couplet meant, for him it was just a meaningless symbol.
Jobs frowned, the natural environment here is indeed good, but the humanistic architecture does not meet his aesthetics at all.
Compared with Dongying's delicacy and neatness, the cultural environment of China made Jobs full of discomfort.
Hehe, the Chinese are really vulgar. Jobs scoffed in his heart. Of course, in the Huaxia realm, he can still figure out what to say and what not to say.
However, it is still much stronger than India. That filthy country itself never wanted to go a second time, and I don't know why I had a brain cramp when I was young and went to that kind of place for spirituality.
Hey, this place has been looking at for a long time, and it's still quite pleasing to the eye, and it seems to be a little dilapidated and beautiful.
Bill Campbell was in high spirits, pulling the young Chinese man to ask questions, and Jobs was silent.
Seeing this, the young Chinese man only smiled and introduced Bill Campbell as he went up the mountain.
"This place is called Yuntai Mountain, and the straight-line distance from Rongcheng is about 120 kilometers, Sichuan and Shu are located in the southwest of China, is a basin, Yuntai Mountain is a mountain near this basin. β
"4,500 years ago, there were traces of human activities here, 3,000 years ago, the unique Santai culture was formed, and more than 1,000 years ago, it became one of the centers of Huaxia Taoist cultureγγγγγγ β
"Feng Shui is a very important part of Chinese culture. The terrain here is known as the Nine Dragons Holding the Saint, which means a treasure land surrounded by nine dragons. β
"Legend has it that Zhuge Liang, the smartest man in Chinese history, once laid out the seven-star lantern here and wanted to build the capital here. But because the Emperor of Heaven did not allow it, it failed... β
As the young man walked along, he introduced Bill Campbell, and Jobs's brow furrowed more and more, he had no interest in Chinese myths and legends.
After two more archways, go higher and higher, the surroundings are more and more quiet, although it is the middle of winter, there is a birdsong from time to time next to the ear, quite refreshing.
"We're not here to hear stories. Jobs stopped, "How long the hell are the hell steps? Where the hell is your boss? Is he really going to wait for us to visit him? Is this your Chinese hospitality?"
No matter how angry Jobs was, the young people still greeted him with a smile, which made Jobs quite powerless.
After two more archways, go higher and higher, the surroundings are more and more quiet, although it is the middle of winter, there is a birdsong from time to time next to the ear, quite refreshing.
Not long after, turning a mountain col, Jobs's eyes suddenly brightened.
A group of traditional Chinese buildings with red walls and green tiles, flying eaves and corners, appears on the platform on the top of the mountain.
Like the archway that Jobs saw just now, these buildings also have a sense of historical mottling, which was originally Jobs's least favorite style, but here, Jobs faintly felt less disgusted, but looked very comfortable.
Why?
There was a pensive look in Jobs' eyes.
Harmony, yes, is harmony.
The complex is very harmoniously integrated with the surrounding environment, as if it were one, and in a trance, it seems to be made by nature.
A few mischievous children twinkled curiously, hiding behind a few large cypress trees, laughing at Jobs and Bill Campbell, and several pilgrims who were incense also cast curious glances at them.
"Is this a temple?" asked Bill Campbell. Zhang Chen asked him to invite Jobs here, but he didn't say what it was or what he was doing.
"This is the Yuntai view. The young man said softly, "It's not a temple, it's a Taoist temple." β
"Taoism?" Bill Campbell had never heard of before, chewing on the word in his mouth.
"Two, please come in. The young man made a gesture of invitation, and made a mockery to the Taoist boy at the door. Jobs followed the young man and stepped through the courtyard door.
Hey, as soon as Jobs entered the door, he gasped, and in the center of the courtyard, there was a huge cypress tree, the diameter of the trunk was about two people hugging, and it looked like it was at least a thousand years old.
Under the tree, there were two people holding black and white, talking to each other, one of them was wearing a gray cloth robe, a white beard over his neck, and his head was tied in a bun, while the young man opposite him, dressed in a Burberry trench coat, held a white chess piece, and was silent in thought.
Zhang Chen!
Jobs couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Zhang Chen's gourd for a while, his brows furrowed slightly, Bill Campbell stepped forward, and saw that the big stone between the two was crisscrossed with nineteen notches to form a Go board, and the chess pieces were already covered with most of the chessboard.
Bill Campbell knew that this was Go, he had heard that Go is the most difficult chess game in the world, although the rules are simple, but easy to understand and difficult to master, seeing that so many chess pieces have been played on the chessboard, he can't help but be in awe, and Jobs whispered: "This is Go, very difficult, do you understand?"
Jobs snorted, his favorite chess sport was military chess, but he had also tried Go in Dongying, and the level was very average, limited to the level of death and life.
Zhang Chen held the chess pieces and posed for a long time, Yu Guang glanced at Jobs, felt that the heat was almost over, threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and said with a chic smile: "The Taoist chief is really skilled, and the kid has been taught." β
The white-haired old man does not like things or is sad for himself, strokes his long hair and nods slightly.
Zhang Chen stood up, hugged Bill Campbell, turned to Jobs and said, "Mr. Jobs, long time no see." β
Jobs sneered: "Don't be coy, my time is precious, and I didn't come here to be polite to you after flying more than 10,000 kilometers." β
Zhang Chen didn't think it was wrong, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand, "Let's go in and say." β
Steve Jobs's eyes flashed, and Zhang Chen's attitude was quite unexpected. He has always thought that Zhang Chen is the same person as him, they are the kind of people who don't let people be ignored, today Zhang Chen's acquisition of Apple is a foregone conclusion, he was originally ready to be humiliated and ridiculed, but he didn't expect Zhang Chen to show a very gentle attitude, which is completely inconsistent with his impression all along.
"Steve, after the merger of Matrxi and Apple, I want you to be the iCEO of the new company. Just sat down, when Jobs was still looking at the furnishings in the room, Zhang Chen's words made his eyes suddenly sharpen.
This Yuntai Mountain and Yuntai Mountain in Henan Province are not the same mountain.
The second correction code, a certain code out.
