Chapter 578 578. What? ! Steve Jobs passed away? !
Cao Yang did not have time to respond to Boss Ma's debate on mobile payment.
In March 2010, an extremely significant event occurred for the Internet industry—
Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, died at home on March 5 after suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Compared to Cao Yang's memory of his previous life, Gang Leader Qiao passed away a full year and a half earlier.
Steve Jobs in his previous life should have passed away in October 2011.
I didn't expect it to be so fast this time.
"What?! Steve Jobs passed away?! Why is this happening?"
Cao Ying couldn't believe what she heard.
Because in his memory, Jobs should not have died so soon.
For Cao Yang, Steve Jobs is indeed a very important symbol in his life.
In other words, Jobs was a role model for him and a beacon for him to catch up to.
I think Jobs had a decisive influence on him, or on the whole world. In his previous life, many of Jobs' design concepts influenced Cao Yang, as well as his pursuit of perfectionism and Jobs' idealism that was engraved in his bones. All of them infected Cao Yang himself.
He never thought that he would one day become Steve Jobs, but he just continued on this idealistic path.
Understand that while you are in your own memory, you also exist in the real world now.
Jobs struggled for his ideals throughout his life, and in this world, he believed that there was only one genius—
That is Cao Yang.
But for Cao Yang, Jobs was the real genius, no matter how the outside world evaluated him.
Perhaps in this world, everyone, including the facts, are explaining—
Cao Yang was the one who first invented the smartphone. Bomi's smartphone brought mankind into a new mobile era, which is extremely great. Many people saw the video of Bomi's smartphone launch conference that year. They all felt extremely shocked, because it was a product that could truly be described as "high-tech" and beyond human imagination.
But for Cao Yang, Steve Jobs was the genius in the world who truly created smartphones, created countless design concepts, and had a fanatical persistence in this ideal.
Yes, genius.
This is the only word that can be used to describe him.
Because, in a sense, Cao Yang and Jobs are both the same type of people. They are both pure idealists who can risk everything and burn themselves for their own dreams and for the wishes they want to realize.
Maybe the reason why Jobs passed away so early this time has something to do with Cao Yang.
In the last generation, Steve Jobs did not encounter a formidable opponent like Cao Yang. All design concepts were the latest, and his only competitor was himself.
The only person who truly defeated Steve Jobs was Steve Jobs.
But this time the situation is completely different. There was already a Bomi smartphone before the Iphone.
The iPad hasn't been released yet, but the Bomi tablet is about to be released.
Apple's iOS development is one year behind Bomi's Hongmeng system development.
It can be said that for Jobs, he met the only real opponent in his life.
That is Cao Yang.
Steve Jobs once said countless times during his lifetime that he thought he was a great genius, but he never thought that in the far east, on this land of China, there was another person who was awe-inspiring and enviable. An amazing genius.
He is Cao Yang.
for me. It seems like my nemesis is always one shot later than him. I am very unwilling to do this, so I keep working hard to get further and further ahead of him, but maybe it is because of this.
Excessive fatigue and the desire to surpass Cao Yang made Jobs unable to escape the extreme deterioration of his condition.
Since last October, Jobs' condition has reached a critical stage.
Under this situation, Jobs still insisted on making a more amazing product at work that satisfied himself and could beat Bomi smartphones. But now everyone has seen It's gone because it only exists in Jobs' own brain, and in the end he still failed to get what he wanted.
Will Steve Jobs have endless regrets when he dies?
For Cao Yang, Jobs' death was not like this.
It wasn't that he defeated that Jobs, but that Jobs defeated himself.
At that moment when he heard the news of Jobs's death, Cao Yang felt a little touched in his heart.
The designs he uses come from past lives and transcend the future. If it weren't for this, Steve Jobs wouldn't have passed away so early?
Maybe this is the butterfly effect.
Sure enough, the world has been changed, more or less affected by the butterfly effect.
Cao Yang received the news of Steve Jobs's death on March 5, and flew to the United States with his wife Pei Siqing that night to prepare for Gang Leader Qiao's private funeral.
On the way, Miss Mining asked him in surprise, "Huh? Steve Jobs passed away?"
"Yes." Cao Yang nodded, "He should be the last person I admire in this world."
Cao Yang admired him as an idealist regardless of his character.
The death of this opponent deeply touched Cao Yang's heart.
Sometimes, his mood was actually very contradictory. Cao Yang hoped that Jobs would leave soon, but when he actually passed away, he felt so reluctant to let go.
It always feels like in this world, all the things he was familiar with in his previous life will eventually disappear.
This sign, this meaningful monument, at some point fell.
Seeing the expression on Cao Yang's face, Pei Siqing reached out and gently shook his palm.
A private memorial service for Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was held at Stanford University Memorial Chapel on Sunday evening local time.
After inviting Steve Jobs to give a speech to graduates in 2005, Stanford University once again welcomed this legendary figure and held a private memorial service for Steve Jobs at the Stanford University Memorial Chapel.
Security personnel from Apple, Stanford University and the local police department blocked off major campus buildings, allowing only those invited to attend the private memorial service to enter.
More than 150 Silicon Valley celebrities began arriving at 6 p.m. Sunday in black limousines and late-model sport utility vehicles, arousing curiosity among onlookers who were unaware of the private memorial service.
Students and nearby residents were forced to leave when it became apparent that guests' vehicles had formed a makeshift checkpoint and were allowed to proceed along the main boulevard on campus.
This time, Jobs's private memorial service was very low-key, and he didn't want to be disturbed by the media, so it was closed. No media reporters were invited. There were security guards outside, and no one was allowed to conduct interviews or take photos.
The entire process was conducted in a secretive environment.
This is also to respect the wishes of the deceased. Jobs himself was a very maverick person, and his attitude towards media reporters was not much better. After his death, he just wanted to keep the funeral and memorial service low-key. Don't be bothered by the secular media.
Apple has invited Steve Jobs's former friends and people in the technology industry to attend this private memorial service, but those invited must respond to the invitation through the Emerson Collective charity.
The charity was founded by Jobs' wife, Laurene Powell Jobs.
There were also very few people invited to the memorial service. The list of invited people was drawn up by someone else before Jobs was alive.
Basically, it's his friends, relatives, family members... and people he wants to invite.
Such as Cao Yang.
Cao Yang initially thought that many celebrities were invited. After arriving at the scene, he discovered that this seemed to be a very private memorial service, and the number of invited people was unusually limited.
But he didn't understand why he didn't have a very close relationship with Jobs himself, nor did he have much cooperation, nor any personal relationship, and even very few opportunities to meet.
That is to say, there were brief negotiations before in order to exchange patents between Bomi and Apple.
In this case, Bomi should obviously be Apple's competitor. Why Jobs listed Cao Yang's name on the invitation list is really strange.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe Jobs cherishes heroes.
In this world, the only person who can truly understand Steve Jobs is Cao Yang.
perhaps-
For Jobs, he believed that Cao Yang was his destined confidant.
Cao Yang said, I am actually just imitating you in my previous life.
It is you who ultimately understands yourself.
But these are just Cao Yang's own guesses, and he doesn't know the actual situation.
Jobs' sister, writer Mona Simpson, arrived at the memorial service at 5:30 p.m.
Then Bill Gates, and Google founder Sergey Brin…
Basically, many of them were partners of Steve Jobs during his lifetime, and many of these people were giants in the American business community.
Then, when Cao Yang arrived at the scene in a special car, he immediately aroused the attention of the surrounding media and caused a great sensation.
Although they were not allowed to enter the private memorial service, reporters still surrounded the memorial service. Even if they could not take pictures of the content of the memorial service, they could at least take pictures of the people attending the memorial service.
But no one expected that there was an unexpected oriental face.
Cao Yang.
Cao Yang has really become the darling of the media recently. Ever since he delivered the famous speech at the Davos Forum that beautiful people are the troublemakers, many people in the world have become more mysterious about this, but the words he used in his speech were incomparable. Baptism, the unusually brave and outspoken world's richest man was very curious.
And now, after two months, Cao Yang once again appeared in front of the cameras of the Western media.
But this time it was to attend Steve Jobs' memorial service.
The media didn't expect it at all—
Cao Yang was actually invited.
After all, this list of participants is an extremely rare list drawn up by Jobs himself.
"Wow, is that Cao Yang?"
"Walter Falk! It's really him! I can't admit my mistake. I interviewed him before at the Davos Forum." The person who spoke was none other than former New York Times reporter Sorkin.
He was really impressed by Cao Yang. Putting aside his family and country's stance, from a personal perspective, Sorkin still had a good impression of Cao Yang.
People in Piao country especially like Cao Yang's daring character, and the tougher and stronger you are, the more they admire and like you.
The weaker you are, the more they like to bully you.
This is what Americans have in common.
"Are my eyesight? Why do I see Cao Yang here? He and Steve Jobs should be in a competitive relationship, right?"
"Yes, who says it isn't? Apple and Bomi are fighting fiercely in the field of smartphones and other Internet electronic products. You can see that our country has not yet allowed Bomi to sell smartphones. This shows that these two companies The contradiction between them.
Who would have thought that Cao Yang would appear here? "
"It's indeed Cao Yang, although I can't recognize Eastern faces very well. But... I don't quite understand why Cao Yang appears here?"
"That's right. Why did Steve Jobs invite his biggest competitor over during his lifetime?"
"Yeah, no one has thought of it, who can think of it?"
Media interest in the private memorial service has softened, with only a handful of reporters present being kept out of the memorial chapel by a large presence of police, security personnel and Apple public relations employees.
The CBS helicopter was told to leave because the loud noise was disrupting the memorial service.
Guests were ushered into Stanford University Memorial Chapel for the memorial service.
Candlelight illuminates the entire avenue from the church to the museum, where a party will be held to commemorate the genius who invented a series of great technological products such as iPhones, iPods, iPads, and Macintosh computers.
Jobs.
Cao Yang held Pei Siqing's hand. The two of them were dressed very realistically, with sad expressions on their faces.
Under the gaze of the media and spotlight, the two people walked into the church.
In the center of the church is Steve Jobs' coffin. He lies peacefully inside, surrounded by white flowers.
On the table in the back is a photo of Steve Jobs.
This is also a classic photo that he likes very much and is the most recognized by Cao Yang—
In the large black and white photo, the bearded Steve Jobs is wearing the iconic round-neck pullover, holding his chin in one hand, and the deep eyes behind the round lenses seem to still hide unfinished words and secret shocking creativity...
Cao Yang walked forward according to the instructions and presented flowers to Jobs. When he came to his coffin, Cao Yang silently took a look at the genius inside.
Jobs folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes. He was still wearing his favorite round-neck pullover.
It looks like he is asleep.
There was a symphony all around, and it was the "Goldberg Variations" that Jobs loved so much during his lifetime.
