Cupertino, a very ordinary city in the San Francisco Bay Area, has changed because of the changes of a legendary company, and there are three apples that changed human history, the good and evil fruits stolen by the ancestor Adam and Eve, the apples that fell from Newton's face, and the Apple Company located here.

But things are very embarrassing, Lin Fan only entered the first floor of the Apple Building, he didn't make an appointment, and besides, he is not so famous, so being rejected is not an unacceptable thing.

Apple's position in the global Internet industry is unshakable, not only because Apple will become the world's largest company in terms of market capitalization, but also because Apple's development has caused global innovation and changes, and people will always remember the leader.

That bite of the mutilated apple is the yearning of many people, but at this time Lin Fan, who was sitting in the car and watching, was depressed, anyone who had read Jobs's autobiography knew that Jobs was not a very good-tempered person, and he was very indifferent, he always scolded his subordinates in the office or parking lot, and now Lin Fan has been waiting for a long time in Apple's parking lot, perhaps unfortunately, he did not see Jobs, of course, Lin Fan's move is also very boring.

However, when he got close to the Apple building, Lin Fan was already satisfied, because he knew that Apple should be manufacturing the iOS system now. Maybe God didn't want Lin Fanbai to run away, but he actually heard the conversation between the two people.

"Thank you for your generosity, Pullman, if it weren't for the $100,000, maybe my dream would have died again. ”

"Don't say that, my friend, we're friends, we've fought side by side at Apple. ”

"Of course, I'll never forget that disgusting Pennsylvania manager we cleaned up together in '82. Cheered at us, and finally told him to roll up the bedding and get out. ”

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help laughing, in the history of Apple, the eighties and nineties were the era when Apple's technical human rights were in charge, all the development of the company was subordinated to the technical personnel, and the management did not have much power, it seems that these two were estimated to be excellent technical personnel of the year.

"Andy, do you really want to continue developing your so-called system? I don't think computers can be linked to communication. ”

"Pullman, are you really an Apple employee? Our obligation is to innovate, and only innovation is the meaning of our existence in this world. ”

"Andy, have you forgotten that I have resigned?"

"Well, I'm sorry. ”

"I just want to be as free as you are. ”

"Pullman?"

"Alright, Andy Rubin, I wish you a dream come true, maybe I'll get a job for a small company, or maybe I'll start my own business, and then we'll have a drink together. ”

A white man drove away, leaving only a thin white man in the same place with a package of 100,000 US dollars, and he was also a little interested for a while.

"Hey, friend?"

Andy turned around and saw an Asian, good-looking and polite, "You're calling me?"

"Of course. ”

"We don't seem to know each other. ”

This is exactly Lin Fan, Lin Fan smiled, "Forgive me for my presumptuousness, I heard a conversation between you and a friend in the car just now, I am an Internet practitioner, and I am very interested in what your friend said about linking computers and communication functions, I wonder if I can sit down and talk?"

This is a very sharp person, Andy thought to himself, he is forty-two years old, but the curiosity and boldness of being a senior programmer is still there, so he nodded.

Along the way, Lin Fan suppressed his excitement and concentrated on driving, but his heart kept churning, Andy Rubin, this is a name that is famous all over the world, because this person created a thing, Android, the creator of the world's largest mobile phone system, if Lin Fan didn't make trouble.

At the café, Andy was the first to speak, "Mr. Hayashi, are you Japanese?"

"The cherry blossoms in Japan are beautiful, but I prefer peonies and plum blossoms. ”

Andy smiled, "As far as I know, very few Chinese people come to the United States, but I didn't expect to meet a Chinese Internet practitioner here, and Robin Li from your country is very good." ”

Lin Fan was noncommittal, as far as he knew, Andy Rubin should have also worked at Microsoft after leaving Apple, but now he can't be sure whether this Andy is the same Andy, so he has to say something tentative.

"Mr. Rubin, I am interested in what you call your invention, and if it is attractive enough, I can provide financial support. ”

In fact, Andy doesn't care, even if Lin Fan is really a liar, he can't lose anything, but if he can really attract an investor, it is a surprise. In fact, this idea came to him when he was vacationing in the Cayman Islands, and it has to be said that the Cayman Islands are his blessed land, and his first job was because he met an Apple employee while vacationing here and entered Apple.

"My vision is that there should be a revolution in mobile phones, the rise of data networks, signal towers all over the place and operators who can provide Internet access, a more convenient Internet terminal than computers has the basis for the emergence of the foundation, and I think the current mobile phone has the status of carrying this carrier. In fact, mobile phone-like portable devices have appeared, and what needs to be solved now is the programming that needs to be processed and calculated. ”

Lin Fan asked knowingly, "Then Mr. Rubin developed this kind of programming?"

"Of course, I named my programming Android. ”

Sure enough, it was this person, after confirming it, Lin Fan suddenly relaxed, knowing that the fish was here, he would never let the fish leave.

"Android sounds like a robot's name?"

Andy smiled for the first time and was a little surprised, "Are you also a robot enthusiast? Android is the name given to human-like machines by French writer Lil Adam in his 1886 science fiction book Future Eve." ”

Lin Fan bowed his head, in fact, he knew that Andy Rubin was an avid robot enthusiast, for example, Andy made a miniature robot with a camera with a recording device during his work at Microsoft, which caused a lot of trouble for Microsoft's security department.

"Of course I like robots, but I don't like the shaping of artificial intelligence in the Matrix, which involves the ethics and humanity of society, and I prefer to explore how much robots can change our lives, such as the introduction of intelligent robots in factories, such as housekeeping robots. ”

Andy's eyes gradually shone brightly, and Lin Fan's words were very appetizing to him, "The entanglement between intelligence and humans is left to sociologists and philosophers, and I only care about how many types of people robots can have." ”

"Actually, Andy, have you ever wondered how great it would be when a robot has no body shape, just a program, and it exists in a mobile phone, and it can communicate with people and assist humans in their work?"

"My God, why didn't I think of that?"

.......

The two talked happily, and the matter of the Android system had long been thrown out of the clouds by the two, and it was the best description of the two of them at the moment.
