Tianheng Technology Co., Ltd.

It was still in 92 years, Ann's father got a personal computer back, and the computer of that era was extremely rough and simple for An Yuxi, who was used to using this kind of computer now, and it was a w8 system! It's unbearable, An Yuxi smashed this product in a fit of anger, and this macintosh_iivx (Macintosh) was shattered to the ground, which shows that there is a family tradition of smashing things! In fact, computers were quite expensive at the beginning, and they were not as popular as they are now.
After smashing the computer, An Yuxi was not enough, and complained fiercely, Father An heard it strange and asked a few more words, An Yuxi said that some of the future world belongs to the information industry, new materials, new technologies can change the world, etc., in the eyes of others, these are some marginal words, but the keen Father An listened.
After listening carefully to An Yuxi's suggestions and thinking about it, An's father at that time invested all the funds on hand into the IT industry.
Angel Invest bought Apple's shares in '93, when after Jobs left, Apple's business declined, market share was also lost, the situation was difficult, the clouds were bleak, many shareholders were discouraged and left, and all walks of life began to look forward to capable people to manage Apple.
Although Father Ann is very optimistic about the prospects of this industry, but the situation of Apple is not very optimistic, at the insistence of An Yuxi, Father Ann decided to gamble, and it continued to decline, but because of the decline of Apple, Tianheng Technology has also recruited a lot of Apple engineers with the convenience of shareholders, until 96 Jobs returned to the helm of Apple, and then Apple's rise journey, which also greatly boosted Father Ann's confidence.
In 93, Father An established Tianheng Technology, and the company's slogan at that time was still "into_the_future (to the future)" that An Yuxi came up with, and he has been working hard for so many years.
After more than 10 years of expansion, acquisition and other ways, Tianheng Technology Group has now become a company with a complete industrial network of electronic manufacturing, integrated software development, game development, network maintenance and operation, etc., and Facebook and YouTube are its subsidiaries.

"Stephen Jobs!"
"Oh!" Hearing this name, An Yuxi remembered who this person was, the image of an old man with a stab, short beard, and black-rimmed glasses appeared in his mind, this person was thunderous in his time, and he was the famous "Apple Godfather", and it is the same now.
If it weren't for the iPhone, An Yuxi felt that he would never know this person, but unfortunately, when he knew Jobs, he was no longer in the world, although he had not supported Apple's products, but it did not prevent him from respecting the old man, which was a heartfelt respect.
"He wants to see me? Why? ”
"What else can you do?" Father An rolled his eyes, seemingly dissatisfied with An Yu's pretending to be stupid.
Although Father An didn't say it, An Yuxi still knew that it was because of the iPhone!
In this world, the idea of the iPhone originally came from An Yuxi, an epoch-making smartphone that can replace the current mainstream - Bansai and Blackberry, which is also the meaning of the birth of Tianheng Technology Company.
It's just that the team of Tianheng Technology has not made significant progress in the past two years, mainly because of the lack of strength, which makes An Yuxi a little disheartened, of course he knows that the creation and innovation of a technology is not so simple, and sometimes it takes several years or even more than ten years of accumulation.
Fortunately, in the past two years, Tianheng's technical team has not eaten dry food, at least according to An Yuxi's idea to build a basic framework, at that time iPhone was just a concept thing, and iPhone was not called iPhone.
So An Yuxi decided to let Tianheng Technology and Apple develop this project together, and named it "iPhone".
Sure enough, Jobs also had this idea at the beginning, and he immediately felt that his eyes lit up after seeing this plan, but at that time his idea was to develop an iPad, after all, they were a computer company, not a mobile phone company.
In 2004, Mr. Jobs convened a secret research group from internal staff and a core team sent by Tianheng Technology to form a highly classified project called "project_purple," or the iPhone.
The angel investment provided $200 million for the project and gave Apple the greatest freedom, that is, to hand over the iPhone completely to Jobs, of course, it is not without a price, Tianheng Technology will share some of the technology, and obtain the rights to represent the iPhone in the United States, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
It's just that a year has passed, and Apple still doesn't seem to have results, and it may still be the same as the previous life, and the finished product will be produced next year.
"Ugh." An Yuxi sighed, this rough world, he has endured it for more than ten years, and it is finally coming to an end, thinking that he can freely read novels and brush ** with a 3.5 smartphone, the boring life before is so attractive now!
As a shareholder of Apple, Ann's father has a good relationship with Jobs, plus the two companies are working at a deep level, the two are very good friends, and it is easy for geniuses to become friends or enemies, it is obvious that they are the former, and Jobs has also donated more than $200 million to Angel Charity in his personal name.
Naturally, Jobs also became one of the people who knew An Yuxi's identity, and when he knew that this idea came from An Yuxi, his expression was even more exciting, and at that time, he put forward a request with An Yuxi's father to meet An Yuxi, yes, it was a request, but unfortunately An Yuxi didn't have time at that time.
Now it's finally time.
"Okay!" An Yuxi nodded, he also wanted the iPhone to appear in this world earlier, and he also wanted to meet the legendary Jobs, and it would be good to take a group photo.

The next day, in a white helicopter, An Yuxi came to the "heart of Silicon Valley" - Cupertino, when he came, the rain just stopped, and there was a rainbow hanging in the sky, beautiful and dazzling, this is a miracle of nature!
There is nothing more beautiful in this world than nature, but there is something more desirable, and that is technology!
At this time, Apple was already the largest technology company in Cupertino, with a vast headquarters, office buildings, factories, laboratories, and staff dormitories, the brain and heart of the entire Apple company, which is continuously injecting Apple's unique cultural and artistic taste into the world, and constantly creating its own value.
Driving on the lawn, you can often see the wide road around the lawn, trucks come and go, many factories are busy starting, uniformed employees have no intention of stopping to enjoy the scenery after the rain, enjoy the rare fresh air, and walk in a hurry.
This huge campus is running at high speed like a sophisticated machine.
When I got off the plane, I saw that I had been waiting for a long time, and An Yuxi had never met, but the long-awaited godfather of Apple-Stephen Jobs, and the staff of Apple who passed by were wondering how their boss would come to greet a person in person, and they all guessed that this must be a big man, and it turned out that he greeted a young man, even Apple fans would be shocked, he was Jobs!
Who is this person?
"Ann, my friend, welcome to Apple!" Jobs pointed to the vehicles, the busy people, and said to An Yuxi with a slightly proud expression.
He is proud of the fact that he created the world's number one luxury electronic brand, and he was the one who saved the company from its decline and gave it the vitality it sees today.
This is the holy place in the hearts of apple fans, and it is also the most desirable place for the leaders of most electronic technology companies in the world in the future.
Some people say that there are three apples in human history, the first ** Eve, the second one woke up Newton, and the third one is here!
The moment he saw An Yuxi, Jobs's expression was like facing a familiar old friend, giving him a hug, such enthusiasm made An Yuxi a little overwhelmed, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
"Hello, Mr. Jobs." An Yuxi's face showed a smile and greeted him.
After the greetings, Jobs made a "please" gesture, got into the car with An Yuxi, and then couldn't wait to tell Phil, who was driving: "Go to the laboratory, Phil, I'm going to give our guests, see my children!" ”
Phil agreed, and the battery car rolled over the soft grass and drove deeper into the park.
An Yuxi knows that Jobs's so-called child is Apple's concept product that changes the world - iPhone!
"Ann, I'm your big fan!" It can be seen that Jobs was happy and took the lead in stirring up the topic.
"It's my pleasure!" An Yuxi bowed slightly, humbly.
"I like your "soul" the most..." Seeing that Jobs began to talk endlessly, An Yuxi listened carefully, nodding from time to time, without the slightest rudeness.
Just as An Yuxi was looking at the famous Jobs, Phil, who was driving, was also seriously looking at An Yuxi in the rearview mirror, and a hint of discoloration appeared in his eyes, I don't know what kind of magic this young man has, which actually made Jobs so enthusiastic about him.
The car eventually stopped in front of a futuristic building with a futuristic style of technology.
This is Apple's most important secret area, the original green nursery, but the building is not around, the empty square around the building, all the way, monitoring equipment and sentinel booths, no dead ends to monitor the surroundings, because this building, there are the most valuable product ideas of the whole Apple, or have established the design plan, produced the concept of the testing machine.
Under the leadership of Jobs, An Yuxi walked into the building, and when he finally came to a laboratory, he arranged for An Yuxi to sit down in the rest area outside, and Jobs entered the laboratory, and when he came out again, he already had an extra box in his hand.
Although the closed laboratory building does not appear to be stuffy because of the good ventilation system, the light is relatively dark, and the rest area is only illuminated by lights embedded in the ceiling, and the light is cold.
In this cold light, An Yuxi watched Jobs open the box, take out a palm-sized machine, lay it flat on the palm of his hand, and hold it up and hand it to him.
The machine has a screen as big as the fuselage, and the shell of the metal combined with engineering plastics is not painted, which looks relatively clumsy, but when Jobs pressed its power button, the moment the machine started, the moving brilliance covered up all the flaws, and also made An Yuxi's heart beat violently!
iphone…… 3.5-inch screen!
