Chapter 690 Jobs

After officially joining Google, Feng Yiping had one more item in his schedule. After lunch the next day, before class, he went back to Google for an hour to work, mainly with Page and the others to repeatedly revise the development strategy.

After a long time of contact, Feng Yiping has a better understanding of the two of them,

As someone who has experienced it, Feng Yiping admires Page's imagination very much. If he does not engage in his current job, he can really consider becoming a science fiction writer like Jules Verne.

If Page is good at inventing and creating, then Brin's strength lies in turning Page's seemingly ridiculous ideas into practical, or further improving and improving on the basis of existing products.

In short, these two good friends are really a pair of perfect partners. No wonder Bill Gates and Paul Allen broke up, and they are still inseparable.

The characteristics of Google's work made Feng Yiping's one-hour working time very fulfilling, or in other words, very challenging. As soon as he entered the company, he felt a little like entering the examination room.

If he hadn't studied systematically in the university for nearly three years, based on his past experience and experience alone, he really couldn't handle some of Page's problems.

One of the benefits of such intense work is that it allows him to constantly discover his own shortcomings, which once again prompts him to learn with problems, enrich them, and finally improve.

It is also a rare experience to work with these geniuses. Their ways of thinking and their perspectives on problems are worth learning from.

For example, when most people see a fan, they feel that the areas that need to be improved should be considered in terms of appearance and performance, but Page's view is indeed, "Why does it drag the long plug?"

What's more, when I think of successfully investing in Google, I will be able to retire at least 5 years earlier in the future. What is the hard work at this time? It should be said to be enjoyable, okay?

Similarly, in the eyes of Page and Brin, although Feng Yiping is young, he has a comprehensive understanding of the industry, especially in terms of grasping the future development trend.

His ability to manage a large company is also far beyond ordinary people, from how to identify a project in line with the development trend, how to enter at the most suitable time, how to form a team, how to improve efficiency..., to the final operation and listing, he is proficient in everything.

In other respects, although there are no outstanding points, they are superior in profoundness and averageness. Taken together, their strength should not be underestimated.

If we compare the two of them to "odd", then Feng Yiping is "righteous". To take charge of a large company, "odd" alone is not enough. Therefore, the two of them have also learned a lot from Feng Yiping.

After getting acquainted, especially Page, he often called Feng Yiping when he thought of it, regardless of time and place, and asked Feng Yiping for his opinions on some of his ideas.

He even told Brin several times, "The most suitable CEO for our company, except for Jobs, I think Feng is also fully qualified,"

He thinks this way, but it is really one-sided. Feng Yiping is still an outsider to Silicon Valley, and he is not like Jobs and Schmidt. The influential figure of the era has deep connections and circles.

However, having said that, Feng Yiping, who joined Google, is now included in a circle.

…………

In the third trimester of pregnancy, Huang Jingping became drowsy again.

Usually after dinner, take a walk for about an hour, then take a beautiful bath, listen to Bach’s piano music to practice calligraphy, drink a glass of milk, eat some snacks recommended by a nutritionist before going to bed, and then it’s time for bed, many times , When I brush my teeth, my upper and lower eyelids are fighting.

Helped her to settle down on the specially changed bed. At this time, it was usually after lunch in China, and it was time for Feng Yiping to work again, and he needed to deal with domestic mails and make some phone calls.

However, as soon as I sat down in the study today, the phone vibrated, and it was Paige calling again. Does this guy have any new ideas?

Feng Yiping picked it up and said a very Chinese greeting, "Have you eaten, buddy?"

It was rare for Page not to ask him a question right away, "Feng, a friend of mine, Steve from Apple, I hope to meet you these two days, do you have time?"

Jobs, of course there could be.

And this question is also very comfortable to ask, not to let myself take Jobs' time, Feng Yiping listened to it secretly.

"Tomorrow is really not good, the morning after tomorrow, I can miss a few classes, do you think Jobs can do it?"

"Okay, I'll ask right away,"

While waiting for the phone call, Feng Yiping was a little complacent and couldn't sit still. He stood in front of the window and looked at the San Francisco Bay below. Although he was only standing on the top of a hill, he felt like he was at the peak.

Who is Jobs? That is the person who was almost all conferred gods later, and now he also took the initiative to ask me to meet, and even accommodated my time. This sense of accomplishment is simply overwhelming!

After a while, Page called back, "Steve said that the morning of the day after tomorrow is fine, and he invited you to visit Apple at 9:00 am the day after tomorrow."

"I'm very happy," Feng Yiping said calmly.

In fact, he almost went to wake Huang Jingping up and let her share his joy and excitement.

Think about it or forget it, Huang Jingping, who knows about this, must not be excited, in her eyes, it must be like this, that guy with a bright forehead and cold eyes, how can he be better than his own Feng Yiping?

…………

Apple is headquartered in Cupertino, adjacent to San Jose, in the southeast of Mountain View, and just over ten minutes' drive from Google.

Feng Yiping followed Paige with a little expectation, but the sunglasses he was wearing covered up his little inner activities well.

When parking the car, Paige found Owen's car belatedly, and asked as he walked towards Jobs' office, "Is that your employee?"

Come on, when I go to Google, he also follows me, okay? You just found out now?

Although the hardware is better than Google at this time, but in terms of the overall atmosphere, Apple, which was listed in the 1980s and has long been a big company, its headquarters lacks the vitality of Google, and it is a bit stagnant. This may not be possible. thing.

At this time, Jobs was also busy, and there was a faint and quick voice in the office. Maybe it was because he had made an appointment in advance, but Jobs didn't let them wait. As soon as the secretary notified him, he was wearing the three pieces that hadn't changed for more than ten years. A black turtleneck with blue jeans and gray sneakers. Tall Jobs opens the door to his office and strides out, ignoring the people he just had a meeting with. "Hey, Larry,"

"Hello, you must be Feng, nice to meet you!"

"Me too!" Feng Yiping said while shaking his hand.

At this time, Jobs was not as thin as he was later, with a relatively large face and a small belly. Maybe it was because he was not stern in front of unfamiliar people, or because he was polite, and he felt quite gentle.

"I have read your blue ocean strategy, it is very good, the concept of cloud computing you put forward is also a good direction, after hearing Larry praise your deep understanding of future development trends and your talent in management, I have been expecting that we can Let's see each other,"

"I'm also looking forward to seeing a leader like you, Mr. Jobs, who created a new era of personal computers," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

I have been in Zhongnanhai, and the leaders of the Communist Party of China have also met several people. After arriving in the United States, I have met too many famous and powerful people. Feng Yiping found that he should be very excited at this time. Now I seem to be quite calm.

"any drinks?"

"coffee,"

Before the coffee was served, Jobs, who had just sat down, stood up again, and took Feng Yiping to a table aside, on which was a computer, "This is the G4 of the iMac series we just launched. Compared with the G3 , it adopts a lot of innovative designs, which can be said to be the new standard of innovative design of personal computers.

You see, it is white as a whole. The semi-circular base below integrates all the components except the monitor. The well-designed metal arm above adopts a double-axis design, which can perfectly hold the monitor at the angle you need. "

"We use LCD monitors. I think from now on, CRT monitors should become history,"

He is so good at talking. When the cost of LCD monitors is still high and most personal computers still use CRT, he sentenced CRT to death.

These words are really domineering, and domineering lies in the domineering. He definitely believes that other computer manufacturers must imitate his design and use LCD as well.

He reached out and adjusted it a few times, turning the monitor up and down, left and right, "The shell of the screen and the fuselage are made of specially processed engineering plastics, you see, they are translucent,"

Feng Yiping touched it, "Is it plastic? It feels like glass, and it also looks very high-end,"

"This is what I have been pursuing," Jobs nodded. "This is also our first personal computer that integrates the most software. It can easily handle work, make videos, and run games. Although we don't say so, but The outside world calls it an epoch-making product,”

"It looks much better than the desktop computer I'm using now," Feng Yiping said, not as a compliment.

Although the gadget in front of him, which was regarded as a treasure by Jobs, is not comparable to the later ones, but compared with other brands of personal computers, this one is indeed outstanding.

At this point, Jobs suddenly became serious, "So, what do you think?"

Feng Yiping carefully walked around the computer a few times, this was the first time he had seen this computer.

In another time and space, he had never seen this computer in 2002. Computers at that time were still considered a luxury, and Apple computers, in China, were definitely a luxury among luxury goods, and few people bought them. So he didn't know that this was the famous "desk lamp" in the iMac.

"It's not bad. The overall shape is novel and lovely, simple, beautiful and modern," Feng Yiping said while touching the computer, "but I think, in terms of appearance design, there is nothing worth improving."

The eyes behind Jobs' rimless glasses suddenly became sharper, and his face became stiff.

That's right, this is the Jobs in my mind. The gentle middle-aged uncle just now is definitely not the norm.

However, his attitude was of no use to Feng Yiping. He was as calm as before, but even Page, who had always been calm, changed his expression after hearing this. He knew deeply that Jobs's Temper, as smelly as myself.
