"Chen, maybe we shouldn't have to talk about endless work every time we meet." Jobs was unusual, staring at Chen Bo and smiling.

I'll go, your eyes are not good, can it be the same as Cook? Chen Bo couldn't help but think.

"Do you know Zen?" Jobs then asked, lest he would not understand, and explained again, "This is an ancient philosophy that originated in your East, and when I first left Apple, I was deeply influenced by Zen during my travels in India, so I converted and shaved my hair. ”

cough, it turns out that this is the case, Chen Bo almost made a mistake.

Jobs's expression at the moment has a kind of persistent piety, a paranoid Buddhist, but quite worthy.

"Is there still Buddhism in India? Stop it. Chen Bo almost laughed out loud, "Steve, India is the birthplace of Buddhism, but Buddhist culture has been inherited and carried forward in China, and countless sects have been derived and then spread to East Asia, Southeast Asia and other countries. There is no Buddha in India now, and Hinduism is already dominant. ”

"Yes, you're right. When I first started, the book I read was "The Beginner's Heart" written by Zen master Toshitaka Suzuki. ”

"There is a saying in our country called Zen tea, through tea tasting to understand Zen, about the way of Zen for three days and three nights can not be finished. In the province where our company is stationed, there is the Nanhua Temple, the ancestral court of Southern Zen Buddhism, and you must have heard of the six ancestors of Huineng. ”

"Master Huineng! I know, I know. It's rare that Jobs doesn't have that kind of domineering president style, and his face is as pious as a primary school student.

Nanhua Monastery has a history of nearly 1,500 years and is located on the banks of Cao River in the northern part of Lingnan Province. There are many legendary stories of the six ancestors Huineng, "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform", this Buddha poem has been praised for thousands of years, and it is familiar to everyone. There are also kapok robes, wind-blown flags, and so on, all of which are his deeds. He was not the first person of Zen Buddhism, but he made Zen Buddhism bloom everywhere in the East, and his body has been enshrined in Nanhua Temple for thousands of years.

Zen Buddhism pays attention to not writing words, and does not spread outside the teaching. Originated from Sakyamuni's disciples Ananda and Ka Ye, and later the famous Bodhidharma Patriarch crossed the river with a reed, came to Middle Earth in the east, faced the wall in Shaolin Temple for many years, and realized Zen Buddhism. Since then, Zen Buddhism has spread in the Central Plains, since the great disciple of the fifth ancestor Hongren Shenxiu began the northern school of Zen Buddhism in Shaolin, and Huineng inherited the southern school of Zen Buddhism in Guangxiao Temple and Nanhua Temple.

There are more stories that have spread overseas in the future, but the most classic of Huineng is the sentence "Pointing directly to the hearts of the people, seeing the nature and becoming a Buddha." "Entering the WTO is practice, as long as the epiphany is the Buddha, it shows the spirit of humanism and preaches the idea of equality, so it has become the most popular sect of Buddhism at present.

Chen Bo often went to Nanhua Temple, so Jobs was asking people, if he asked him about other Buddhist schools such as Huayan Sect and Faxiang Sect, then he might not be able to find the answer if he searched now.

"I only know a little bit about it, but I have a better understanding of the Tao." Chen Bo didn't want to talk too much about Zen with him, he knew very little, and being there didn't mean that he was a Buddhist.

"Dao, what is it?" Jobs was surprised.

"The Tao is the law of all things in the universe."

The Tao is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and "Taoism" and "Taoism" are two fundamentally different things and cannot be confused. Chen Bo believes in Taoist philosophy, but he is not the Maoshan Taoist priests of the Fu Zheng faction, or the Quanzhen Sect of the Zhengyi faction, which is not touched.

"Oh, I'll give you the Tao Te Ching to read for yourself." Discussing Tao and Zen in Apple's president's office sounds so much like a magic stick warlock! So Chen Bo was a little impatient and said, he still has to go back to arrange work.

But Jobs was intrigued by him, so he said, "Chen, if you have time in the evening, why don't you come to my house, my wife Lawrence is also a vegetarian Buddhist." We would love to hear from you about Zen thoughts, or your paths, with us! ”

It seemed that this paranoid didn't intend to let him go, so Chen Bo had to nod and agree. After he left, Jobs rang the phone on the table.

Back at Sunnyvale, Chen Bo immediately called Depp over, and he didn't know what was going on in Lao Qiao's house. When you go to someone's house, you always have to bring some gifts, whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, this is the proper etiquette.

"You mean that genius Steve Jobs invited you to his house?" Depp was surprised, "Boss, you're so honored. You know, Jobs's table is harder than Buffett's! At the very least, if you have money, you can let Warren Buffett stay with you for two hours. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, and don't call me Boss, now we are partners, not a superior-subordinate relationship."

"Well, I think about it. He was very protective of his family, and it is said that Lawrence gave birth to a son and two daughters for him. The oldest should be around 10 years old. There is also an illegitimate daughter, but she has graduated from Harvard! Depp thought for a moment and replied.

"It's my business to have an illegitimate daughter, and they don't live together."

"Hey, Steve was so romantic when he was young!"

"Oh?"

Everyone has the psychology of gossip, Chen Bo pricked up his ears and began to listen to Depp talk about the dissolute and freedom-loving youth of the Qiao gang leader.

I think that Lao Qiao was also a rebellious non-mainstream teenager, and he could even be said to be a "scumbag". In addition to vaping big. In addition to Ma's black history, he also made the mistake that most men make, and refused to admit the daughter that his high school girlfriend gave birth to him on the grounds of infertility, but later recognized her after DNA testing and funded her until she graduated from Harvard.

Before officially getting married, he had a history of dating actresses, writers, and rock singers, but he was very romantic. Just looking at Lao Qiao's half-bald head and embarrassed beard now, I really can't imagine what he looks like when he is young.

Chen Bo thought about it for a long time and didn't find any suitable gifts, and Liu Qing had already flown to New York by him on vacation.

Fortunately, there is a set of cartoon dolls from the United States Film Studio at the bottom of the box, and when I came, I gave it to the children of Sister Elus's family, and I also gave a set of Isabella's little princess by the way. Who knew that he had three children at home, and the rest could only find two panda dolls to make up temporarily, as long as he got his mind, Jobs didn't care about you two jujubes.

Driving Depp's coquettish Porsche 911, Chen Bo came to Jobs' big villa alone.

Let's call it a big villa, but if you put it in China, it is just a brick house, surrounded by a low hedge, lush apple trees and small gardens with low red brick chimneys and gray-white tiles. There is no comparison with the surrounding palatial fountain pool villas.

Walking along the winding path paved with brick and stone, you can go straight to the doorway, and you can see sculpture-like things made of iron frames, like crosses and pagodas.

Gently knock on the small door made of wooden planks, and an ancient poem pops out of my mind, "Idle living with few neighbors, grass path into the deserted garden." The bird stays in the tree by the pool, and the monk knocks on the door under the moon. ”

Although I really don't have a relationship with the monk, I was also invited to talk about "Zen", which is also in line with the occasion.

The sound of "squeak" was opened as the wooden door was opened, and the long golden hair was the first to come into view, and then a small head poked out, but it was a beautiful girl who looked at him with a smile and said, "You are Vincent Chen, right?" Dad said you're coming in the evening. ”

"Then let me guess who this elf is? Could it be Irene? Chen Bo smiled and joked with her.

"No, no. I'm Eve, I'm my sister, I'm my sister. You guessed it wrong! The little girl waved her hand and corrected his mistake in a serious manner.

"Why don't you let the guests in?" A voice sounded behind her, and it was probably Lawrence, the mistress of the room. Powell was out, with long blond hair over a shawl, and a gentle smile. It seems that Eve's little elf has inherited his mother's excellent genes, and old Joe is of Syrian descent, and his hair is brown.

Lawrence smiled and said to Chen Bo, "Hello, Chen." You're welcome to come to your home, Steve is busy making a report, and it will be done in a moment. ”

"It's a great honor, Mrs. Jobs." Europeans and Americans generally give their husband's surname after marriage, Chen Bo doesn't know if she has changed her name, but it is officially correct to call her so.

"You're too polite, just call me Lawrence," he said, and took the initiative to give Chen Bo a courtesy hug.

"Mom, I want it too." Eve stretched out her arms unwilling to be lonely, and Chen Bo hurriedly squatted down and gave her a hug.

"Eve, you're naughty again." Jobs came from the inner room, and he didn't make any difference between his home and office, except that he had swapped his jeans for sports shorts. "Chen, come in. Let me introduce you to you, this is my son Reed. This is Eileen, my eldest daughter. ”

Jobs enthusiastically introduced him to the members of the family, the eldest Reed, who had brown hair and was not timid. Only Eileen is quiet, but the youngest Eve is the most mischievous one.

"A little gift, I hope you like it."

Chen Bo handed over the things he brought in a timely manner and handed them over to the boss Reed.

Westerners also have a habit of opening gifts in person to show respect. They are no exception, two cute panda dolls and a set of cartoon ceramic dolls produced by Meiying attracted the attention of several children.

"Great, what are these delicate dolls?"

Eve held the porcelain doll and didn't let go, although Reed also had some envy in his eyes, but as the eldest he still let the youngest sister go.

Chen Bo introduced them to the story of the gourd baby and the black cat sheriff, and promised to bring them a set of discs next time.

"It's not as good as your Pixar studio, I'm the only thing I can handle." Chen Bo explained to Jobs.

"Actually, they prefer DreamWorks animations because they're funnier, but I'm not going to admit it." Jobs was a little helpless like a child at the moment.

Chen Bo was invited to dinner with the family, which was a fairly ordinary and warm family-style banquet. There were no babysitters and no pot-bellied English butlers, and all the food was cooked by Lawrence himself.

If this is the home of a billionaire, few people believe it, but it is.

The interior of the room is quite simple, without a hint of fancy and opulence, except for the narcissistic photos of Jobs. However, from the photos on these walls, you can also see that Old Joe's romantic capital back then, a handsome young man with long hair and fluttering, somewhat like the lead singer of the Beatles, John. Lennon, it's no wonder that there are so many romantic things when young and frivolous.
