Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Background of the Keyhole

Chen Bo turned his head and looked at it, thinking who it was, Jobs had just arrived with a family, and he happened to see them opening gifts and surrounded them. Eve, dressed in a white princess dress, stood beside him, tiptoeing and craned her neck, not seeing what the adults were looking at.

"Of course not, I'm not as rich as you, this is a handicraft made by modern masters, if it were a thousand years, such a set would not be less than 10 million US dollars. In ancient times, this belonged to the official kiln, which only fired porcelain for the royal family, and the people were absolutely not qualified to use it. ”

Chen Bo picked up Eve from the ground and let her get her hooked, explaining by the way.

"Perfect work of art." Jobs took a teacup and played with it in his hand, he has a natural sensitivity to product design, the pursuit of perfection, from the Apple products he led can see the clues, each of which is leading the revolution in industrial design.

This is probably what Yamauchi Pu said about the artist's heart, porcelain runs through the history of China for thousands of years, otherwise it would not directly use the English name of porcelain. Ellison spent some time in Japan in his early years, so he was deeply influenced by the local culture and was as obsessed with Zen Buddhism as Jobs, so Chen Bo thought of giving him a set of tea sets.

Japanese porcelain is mostly plain in color, and the shape is the best at it, and the environment needs to bring out the beauty of the porcelain. At this point, many domestic porcelain itself is a picture scroll, not only the technology of porcelain making but also the art of painting, but the Chinese painting is difficult for foreigners to understand.

Get you a Guiguzi down the mountain picture of the cottage Yuan blue vase, you see a year can not produce a meridian Yin Mao, Ru kiln this kind of porcelain is more in line with the current Western popular minimalist shape.

"It's nothing, you'll find out in a few days that something magical happens, and it's even more beautiful." Chen Bo said again.

"What magical thing?"

"Let's talk about it after using it, the more time it will become, the more beautiful it will be." He deliberately sold a pass, which is a major feature of porcelain, and the Ru kiln occupies a unique opening piece.

The opening film sounds familiar, but it is actually very simple, it is a crack on the surface. This is divided into two situations, one is natural opening, that is, the glaze will collapse and even crack after high temperature after not firing, which is defective product. The other is artificially opened, the ancient craftsmen mastered the law of opening, and will lay the foreshadowing in advance when making the pulp tire, Ru kiln and Ge kiln are the kings of the opening film.

The kiln is a small opening piece, which can give you a sparse piece, and the irregular opening pattern presents an irregular geometric shape.

The opening pattern of Ru kiln is relatively fine, with crab claw pattern, caviar pattern, sesame flower, etc., as well as typical orange peel glaze, borneol glaze, and tea foam. And it's opening every day, even if you find the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, as long as you use it, it will open every day, which is quite magical.

As long as Ellison is using this set of porcelain, he will find this pattern, and every day has a sense of freshness, just like a lover of first love, but it is boring to say it.

"Chen, you are so partial, why didn't you give it to me so well?" Jobs' eyes straightened when he looked at it, and he couldn't put it down.

"Why don't you get married again? I promise to send you a set that is better than this! Chen Bo teased.

"Yes, yes. I'm going to be a flower girl! Eve clapped her little hands and cheered, children are all playful, where do they know the importance of marriage, but the words of the child's words also attracted a burst of laughter from everyone.

The Ellisons are quite satisfied with this gift, and there is also a share of money abroad, which is not a domestic feature, but this local tyrant obviously does not lack these, no matter how much money is given, others will not look down on it, this value is not high but the new gift is more popular with the owner.

Under Chen Bo's explanation, the teapot and the teacup have also become a beautiful meaning representing the perfect family, of course he will not say that the teapot represents a man and the teacup represents a woman. Feminists can't spray him to death if they want to know, so they secretly change the concept to represent family members, and it just so happens that he also has a son and a daughter born to his ex-wife, which is a fitting explanation.

The total cost of this set of teapots is only 100,000 yuan, and I found the fine products of the pot maker, and the exchange of US dollars is only more than 10,000 yuan.

Chen Bo did not forget his work, took over the camera and started his part-time photography. Fortunately, there is a sunny day in the sky, and the light is enough, otherwise you need to use reflectors and fill lights, plus the beautiful scenery of the manor, and gradually come to the state after adjusting the sensitivity and aperture size.

"Meg, get closer to your dad......"

"David, it's cooler if you don't smile......"

"Melanie, lift the corners of your skirt a little......"

Chen Bo is holding a Leica camera in his hand, and the best way to take pictures of people is the prime lens, because he can't zoom, so he can only rely on coquettish positioning, and constantly replace the lens, and then hand it over to Mayer, who is next to him as an assistant, no matter how big the person is, he has to listen to his command at this time.

"A little bit lower sensitivity, a little bit larger aperture." Steve Jobs, the photography consultant, was always on his side to try to achieve perfection.

“no,no,no! I used a filter, and the noise came out even lower. Chen Bo is not ambiguous, there are often some small disputes in the whole process, although it is not to the point of blushing and having a thick neck, but it is all for the pursuit of better photos, and arguing just a few words does not affect anything.

Fortunately, this old bastard offended a lot of people, and the guests who came were not too proportional to his fame, but he was not so tired, and after taking some of the main photos, the others were handed over to professional photographers, as a guest, you can't always do this kind of rough work.

Ellison's wedding ended successfully, and Chen Bo also ended the day's trip, but the guests were not young and didn't have much in common. I want to get some useful information from Mayer, but this woman is better than a monkey, and she can always easily avoid the important and light.

"I'm very satisfied with the gifts and photos, thank you very much, and invite you to my yacht another day." Ellison and Melanie stood at the gate of the manor to see off the guests, and said to him with a fluttering eyebrow, "The Rising Sun is much bigger than Paul's Octopus, and it will definitely make your trip worthwhile!" ”

"No problem, I'll bring you a good bottle of wine to congratulate you."

This old guy never forgets to compare with his opponents, Paul Allen is the second shareholder of Microsoft, and his personal wealth is second only to Bill Gates, anyway, he will scold whoever he catches, regardless of whether you have money or not. Just like Bill's mansion was built in Huasheng. On the shore of Lake Don, it cost 30 million US dollars to build, and he directly came to a Japanese imperial palace building, and the cost was far more than that of the richest man.

"Thank you for your company and have time to come to Sunnyvale for coffee." Chen Bo sent Mayer back to her residence, and before parting, he said, "Your perfume today is very feminine." ”

"You're saying I wasn't enough of a woman before?" Mayer raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically.

"Are female engineers considered women?"

"Would you like to come in and try the coffee in Mountain View?" Mayer said suddenly.

This signal is not good, seeing the sly smile on her face, who knows if this is a pit dug and waiting for him to jump, although it is still a frozen lips full of temptation, but Chen Bo still firmly stepped on the accelerator, leaving only the sentence "I still prefer the taste of Sunnyvale." ”

Mayer stood in the sunset and watched the car's taillights disappear at the end of the road before shaking his head and turning home.

"What's going on over there at Keyhole?" The next morning, Chen Bo came to the company and found Hoffman and asked directly. "Is Google already involved?"

"The truth is far more complicated than that." Hoffman smiled wryly, "The background of this company is not simple. ”

"Let's see."

His predecessor was a spy satellite serving the military, and from the beginning of the 60s to the end of the Cold War, a total of more than a dozen satellites were launched, and all of them were named after KH. Detection of the former Soviet Union and other countries. Although Keyhole was ostensibly established as a separate company in '01 and has only 30 employees, it is still controlled by a non-profit fund under the name of the CIA, and it is impossible for non-US companies to bypass censorship. ”

Although Hoffman didn't say which other country he was referring to, he couldn't wait to keep an eye on every corner of the globe with his old beauty, and the most important thing was naturally aimed at the socialist camp, and anyone who moved his toes could think of it.

"In other words, I can only give it up."

"But we can get satellite imagery data through DigitalGlobe, which not only provides maps for the military, but also information for commercial companies, and the photos are more resolution than keyholes, and they charge $3,000 per square kilometer, and if you want to update them, you have to pay for them."

"Damn, why don't they rob it?" Chen Bo couldn't help but blurt out.

A satellite photo of the United States costs 320,000 US dollars, which only accounts for 2% of the land area.

"Withdraw all the people, and the keyhole will be handed over to Google." Chen Bo was already depressed when he thought of this, no wonder Mayer would warn him that this thing could not be touched, this was really a troublesome thing.

There are not many people who have the ability to operate satellite photos into private companies, and he also saw that the other party is private and has surveying and mapping qualifications. If you can't let Google Earth ride on his head, it's better to just raise your hands and surrender.

ESA has sub-agencies, and it is estimated that the authorization fee is not cheap to talk about cooperation. Go to the country? It sounds easier said than done, the idea of making a satellite map can only be put on hold for the time being, and Google will not be launched so soon even if it wants to eat the keyhole, and it is impossible to launch some key technologies into the market without solving them.

"Let's talk about digital maps, MapQuest is not our goal at all, we need intelligent digital maps, and more data authorization." Chen Bo got rid of some lofty thoughts in his mind, and decided to take a steady step and walk slowly.

"Tele Atlas in the Netherlands, as well as Navetq, are both providers of basic information for digital maps."
