Chapter 124: Good Stuff
Lotus and Li Jiani still didn't shake it in the end, they are really unfamiliar with the terrain, and their bodies are not suitable for playing in the mini.
"Huh? There are so few people here! β
Li Jiani said as she held the lotus's arm and looked around.
Lotus pushed the shopping cart and smiled, "The people of Boston don't like Wal-Mart." β
"Why?" Li Jiani asked while loading various foods into the car. She found that the food here was so cheap, and the HΓ€agen-Dazs that she liked very much was simply freezing.
Lotus looked at the empty supermarket center and said with a smile: "Wal-Mart's image here is very bad, and it is called a "devil" company." β
Wal-Mart is a representative of the business giant, but in the eyes of many Americans, it is the culmination of evil, with low wages, labor rights violations, obstruction of unions, and lower supplier prices indirectly causing sweatshops.
Not only Boston, but also cities like New York and Los Angeles have shown great dissatisfaction with Wal-Mart, and even San Francisco has had a heated debate on whether to admit Wal-Mart, with public hearings chaired by the city council and the Small Business Council, and the final result is overwhelmingly rejecting it.
"Really? It's weird, it's still our family's good. β
Li Jiani said indifferently that she didn't care if the American people were living in "dire straits".
"Buzz, buzz."
Lotus took out her mobile phone and looked at it.,This is a v3 that was changed when I got to the United States.,It's also a kind of nostalgia.γ
"Hello? Where are you? Oh, we'll be back right away. β
Li Jiani seemed to know who it was, and pouted: "That pervert can't wait to see you?" What a speechless! β
Lotus smiled awkwardly, Gao Meinan is really a person, and he has made more than 20 phone calls in the past two days.
When the two of them returned home, they saw a Ford SUV parked outside the yard, and Gao Meinan squatted miserably on the side of the road and watched.
"Toot toot."
Li Jiani honked her horn twice, and it was unclear whether she wanted to remind him or scare him to death.
Gao Meinan looked at the MiniCooper blankly, his eyes were not very good, he squinted and looked at the people in the car for a long time, he only felt that this MiniCooper was so arrogant. So he gave his middle finger up.
"Oops!"
Li Jiani was furious when she saw this, she stared fiercely at the beautiful man who was asking for food on the side of the road, and reached out to rummage through the bag.
Lotus smiled helplessly, he had heard about Gao Meinan's situation from Mark, this person and Harvard Mars hit the earth, and they bumped into a tacit understanding, probably just like he did in Eleven
There are many people who admire him, and there are even more people who hate him, and in the end, I don't know where he learned the hand of the middle finger. He doesn't scold or quarrel, and he will show you if he doesn't agree anyway.
The MiniCooper slowly stopped next to Gao Meinan, and Gao Meinan's middle finger also moved horizontally by 45 degrees.
The car window slowly rolled down, Lotus's face was revealed, and he hurriedly said, "Gao Meinan, you run." β
Gao Meinan was shocked to see that it was a lotus flower in this car, and quickly retracted his middle finger vigorously, eager to shrink it directly into his mouth. He was followed by ecstasy, but the joy was not over yet, Lotus's anxious warning and Li Jiani, who was holding something like a big hammer, startled him! Who can stand this surprise? Anyway, Gao Meinan didn't hold it, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Huh?"
Li Jiani walked over with the big bread in her hand, she kicked Gao Meinan, hammered them again, turned her head and said, "He seems to be dizzy." β
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a little dizzy, it's not in the way." Lotus parked the car and comforted Li Jiani, and he glanced at Gao Meinan, who was grinning at him, again. This kid has good acting skills.
At the dining table,
"What is this? Gao Meinan: Are you here to learn to cook? Why don't you go directly to New Oriental? β
Li Jiani looked at the delicate seven or eight French dishes on the table with a ridiculous face, she didn't understand the situation at all now, she used to be a little kitchen expert. Just walked a king sports, and now there is a beautiful man again, how do you live this day?
Lotus hesitantly ate a piece of lime chicken breast, and after a while, he sighed, "Gao Meinan, what's the matter with you?" When did you learn this skill? β
Gao Meinan said a little proudly: "It was Wang Sports who taught me." β
"Ahem, cough, cough"
Lotus and Li Jiani hugged each other and coughed, they never thought it would be Wang Sports!
"You two keep in touch often?" Lotus breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't know when these two people got together.
"yes, I'm in contact online every day, and there's that one." Gao Meinan said with great interest, "These are all what he taught me, he said that no one will give you food after you come, Li Jianien's level uh"
Li Jiani stared at him expressionlessly, her heart was about to erupt like a volcano, but she couldn't burst out. It turns out that among the three people who serve the lotus, she is the worst in craftsmanship! And the other two turned out to be men!
"No, no, Jiani's craftsmanship is still very good," Lotus hurriedly played a round, he said: "Don't talk nonsense, Jiani is very good at cooking, she made it for me in the morning."
Li Jiani snorted, ran up to the second floor with a flat mouth, and didn't forget to take a plate of macarons when she left.
Lotus breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Li Jiani would beat Gao Meinan violently. Now that there were only two people left on the table, he began to eat regardless of it, and asked while eating, "How are you doing?" How's it going over there? β
Gao Meinan seemed to be disgusted with the name Mark, and he said with a disgusted face: "It's going well, I enriched the operating environment of Facebook for him, and now it's pushed to high school, which is on par with MySpace." β
Lotus nodded, the current Facebook has improved the progress of two years compared to the previous life, which has made him very satisfied.
"By the way, did you make the thing I asked you to design?"
Gao Meinan immediately became energetic when he heard this, and he carefully took out a small box from his bag.
The lotus scurried back and asked softly, "Will it explode?" β
Gao Meinan still gave him a reassuring look as he did two years ago, he gently opened the box and took out the gray-black rectangular object inside.
The lotus flower took it and slowly rubbed the magical object in her hand, if it was after 2007, then everyone knew what it was. But now there are only two people who have witnessed its existence.
This is a smartphone in the true sense of the word, with a 4-inch capacitive screen and a CPU equivalent to A4, but these are not the point, the focus is always on the system!
2005 was originally the time when the concept of smartphones was on fire, whether it was BlackBerry, Nokia or Motorola, they began to focus on such products. Of course, this time can only be regarded as the embryonic period. Until Apple was born in 07, and then dominated the world with Android. The most eye-catching of them are none other than ios and Android.
Lotus can't get iOS, that's not realistic at all, Apple's iOS is improved on the original macOSX, and it took a huge team two years and tens of billions of dollars to create.
Android is not his ideal goal, what he needs is a closed system similar to ios, and Android based on the linux open source architecture will never meet this requirement.
Why can Apple be closed but Android can't? Because its master system, macOSX, was combined from the early closed Unix and Apple's own open Unix-like system, Darwin, around 2000.
UNIX is an operating system invented by the famous Bell Labs in 1969, which can be said to be the basis for many systems such as Linux and macOS. Because of its stable architecture and powerful functions, it is still used in various high-end servers and has been used by most key departments such as government, finance, and scientific research. If the Android system is the grandson, and Linux is the father, then the UNIX system is the grandfather's.
The thing in Lotus's hand was made by Gao Meinan for more than a year and at a cost of about 10 million dollars. This is already a very unnatural achievement, after all, the foundation is the key. The architecture of this mobile phone system can't be said to be similar.,It's basically a complete copy of iOS.,Of course, there are also some improvements that Gao Meinan himself added.γ
The lotus flower is pulling this original sample, and now its appearance structure is very slaggy, which is a gray rectangular body. The screen resolution is 800x480, Ram1G, Rom8g, and the GPU is infinitely close to the ImaginationPowerVRSGX535 for iphone4. These things are already proper black technology in this era.
"Jiani! Jiani! "The lotus can't help it for a while, this thing wants to be appreciated with your big baby!
"Come on," Li Jiani ran down, her mouth and nose were full of cream, and she didn't know how many macarons she had eaten in such a moment...
Lotus held up the unnamed mobile phone high, and said excitedly: "Guess what this is!" β
"Wow, what is it? What is it? Give it to me, it's all mine! β
Li Jiani jumped up and down excitedly to get her hands on it, and the things that could make the lotus excited must be something other than herself!
