"Of course I have considered it, but I probably won't go back in the short term. The salary here is higher."
Wang Qinggen just became the chief engineer of the company this year. It can be said that when he is feeling proud, it is naturally impossible for him to consider returning to China now.
Wei Qingfan was not surprised by this and said with a smile: "It is true that our country's development is still a bit behind now. Jobs with an annual salary of more than one million are really not that easy to find. We have to wait until there are more big companies."
Wang Qinggen glanced at him and was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Zhiyuan, Shen Rong and others who were still discussing the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, and said in a low voice: "It's too different."
"You can always catch up, just develop slowly."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "When local Internet companies take the lead, there will have to be a few high-tech companies that can take the lead... there will be them."
Wang Qinggen turned his head and looked at him without saying anything.
Wei Qingfan didn't say anything else. When he saw Li Miaoyu watching with bright eyes and not eating, he smiled and waved his hand in front of her.
Li Miaoyu rolled her eyes at him. Seeing Wang Qinggen drinking with Liu Zhiyuan and the others, she moved closer to him and asked in a low voice: "Why do you care about him so much?"
Wei Qingfan also lowered his voice, leaned into his ear and said, "I want him to work for me."
"Oh oh."
Li Miaoyu opened his eyes slightly, looking surprised and expectant, and nodded vigorously in a small way.
Li Shuqing just put down his wine glass and saw the two people biting their ears. He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything.
He is not blind. After getting along with him these days, how can he still not see what is going on?
It's just that if his daughter doesn't confess, he just pretends not to know, so that the two of them can still be a little scrupulous. If he tells her, he might become more upright.
“Any thoughts on PayPal?”
After the show, Liu Zhiyuan drove him back to the hotel, and while waiting for the elevator, Zhao Yaquan asked with a smile.
"No."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "I just think this Uncle Wang is quite powerful... Auntie, uncle, do you know many people in IT here?"
Li Shuqing and Zhao Yaquan looked at each other and shook their heads. Li Shuqing said: "The big companies in the IT industry are basically in Silicon Valley. Although most of them have branches here, most of them are financial companies."
Zhao Yaquan added: "But they must know each other...Why, do you want to recruit wise men now?"
"No, I'll just ask."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Let's find out first."
Zhao Yaquan said: "If there is anyone in this field, I will help you pay attention."
"Thank you, aunt."
They spent three days in New York and then left for just fun.
The travel itinerary was planned by Li Shuqing and Zhao Yaquan before coming here, mainly on the east coast.
Their next stop was Washington. On the third day here, Wei Qingfan finally bought an iPhone through a friend of Wang Hai.
Neither Li Shuqing nor Zhao Yaquan were interested. Li Miaoyu thought it was too ugly and didn't buy it, but he was still very interested in the various functions he mentioned. So after arriving at the place, he happily went back to the room with him to look at the phone.
Wei Qingfan closed the door, and Li Miaoyu had already put away his bag, took out the mobile phone packaging box from the bag, and was about to unpack it.
Wei Qingfan didn't have the time to look at his cell phone, so he threw his backpack on the bed, then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
Li Miaoyu murmured "Yeah" and stretched out her hand to push him. She didn't push him away and just let him hold her.
After spending many days together, Wei Qingfan could not always be honest. He even sneaked into the room to steal fragrance, but he never dared to go too far. His father-in-law and mother-in-law were obviously on guard against him.
It was the same this time. I hugged her and kissed her twice, then let her go, and then they went to look at their mobile phones together.
"So big?"
Putting the phone box on the table, Wei Qingfan couldn't help but marvel. Can you believe that the original iPhone box with only a 3.5-inch screen was bigger than the later 6.7-inch Pro Max box?
The front of the box has an image of the front of the iPhone printed on it. It is very thick, but in today's era when major manufacturers don't care about mobile phone packaging, this box, which has formed an Apple-style simple packaging style, still gives people a unique sense of refinement.
It also uses the heaven and earth box that was imitated by all mobile phone manufacturers in later generations, that is, the entire main box is wrapped with a lid. During the opening process, it even has the unique damping feeling of later Apple product packaging.
——This kind of heaven and earth box packaging will naturally form a damping feeling during the opening process due to friction and internal low pressure. However, in terms of experience, Apple products are still unique.
It is rumored that Apple's standard for the damping feeling of the packaging box is to slide 1.5 centimeters per second to ensure a ceremonial feeling similar to the opening of a curtain.
The sense of high-end is built up bit by bit with details.
However, this is the first generation product after all, and the details in all aspects are far from as exquisite as those that were piled up with money in later generations, but it is enough in this era.
When you open the box, the first thing you see is the familiar iPhone-style front, with a rectangular screen and a round button. Below it is a plastic pad with a hole drilled in the middle. Next is the instruction manual, and the bottom layer is placed Charger, data cable, earphones and charging base.
Three of these four items have disappeared from iPhone packaging boxes in later generations.
While Wei Qingfan was looking at these trivial things, Li Miaoyu had already taken his mobile phone over, looking it over and over, and said, "It doesn't seem that ugly..."
The front panel is black, the upper half of the back is made of metal and is silver-gray, with a missing Apple logo printed on it, and the lower half is made of black plastic. It’s indeed a lot rougher than later generations of iPhones, but it’s still manageable and not too bad. ugly.
After all, Li Miaoyu is accustomed to the exquisiteness of high-end mobile phones, and the first-generation iPhone is obviously far from the high-end quality that is almost the highest level of later iPhones, so it is no wonder that it is disliked.
"How do you open this?"
Li Miaoyu fumbled around for a while, found the power button, pressed it to turn on the phone, and handed it to Wei Qingfan.
Nowadays, there is no need to log in to an Apple account. Wei Qingfan simply operated and successfully logged in. Li Miaoyu immediately exclaimed: "Wow, it's so big?"
The 3.5-inch screen is undoubtedly a super large screen at this time, and the visual experience brought by the large screen is undoubtedly overwhelming for the small screen. Li Miaoyu feels very novel.
"I'll show you another function."
Wei Qingfan started to get upset, picked up his cell phone, took a photo of her, and then showed it to her.
"It's nothing. It doesn't feel as good as the Nokia we are using now to take pictures."
It can be said that Li Miaoyu knew him very well, and the length and depth were clear at a glance. Looking at him like this, he knew that he wanted to show off, so it was even more strange that this photo was not really good.
Wei Qingfan smiled at her, then pinched the photo with two fingers to enlarge it.
"Wow!"
This operation, which was very common in later generations, still has an almost magical sense of novelty today. Li Miaoyu finally exclaimed again, feeling a little excited.

"Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Going back in time a little, next door, Li Shuqing couldn't help but ask Zhao Yaquan.
It is said that men know men better. Seeing his daughter being tricked into the room by Wei Qingfan's mobile phone, and also being tricked by Wei Qingfan's own mobile phone that Wei Qingfan bought for him, Li Shuqing pretended that nothing happened, but in his heart he was actually a little uneasy.
.
Zhao Yaquan said angrily and funny: "Do you think it's all you? You're so old, what can you do when the sun is shining brightly?"
"This kid doesn't look like a serious person, and Miaomiao is so easy to deceive..."
Li Shuqing was still worried and uneasy. After a while, he said, "Why don't you go over and take a look? Knock on the door?"
"What door am I knocking on?"
Zhao Yaquan became more and more annoyed, "If you are worried, go and have a look."
"It's not appropriate for me to go..."
"Is it appropriate for me to go?"
"..."
Li Shuqing was silent for a while, and then the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He was always afraid that the Shui Lingling cabbage he had raised for seventeen years would be stolen.
"Forget it, I'll go take a look...just ask them what they want to eat..."
"go Go."
Zhao Yaquan was so angry and funny that she took a rest and ignored him.
Li Shuqing left the room and saw no one in the corridor. He felt relieved and walked quietly to the door of Wei Qingfan's room, carefully listening through the door.
Then I heard a faint exclamation, "Wow, so big?"
Li Shuqing's face suddenly turned green.
He raised his hand to knock on the door, then put it down again, wanting to turn around and leave, but he was worried that he had misunderstood, so he waited again, but no more sound was heard.
Then my face turned greener and started to turn black.
At this moment, I finally heard another exclamation from my daughter.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back, he heard intermittent voices from behind.
"how did you do that?"
"You try it..."
"Wow, it's so amazing!"
This sounded more serious. The girl seemed to be playing with some toys and looked very happy, which made him a little suspicious.
Are mobile phones so fun?
"Then I'll buy one later...I'll ask my parents if they want it..."
"All right."
Li Shuqing was listening and was surprised when he saw the two people's voices being clear. He quickly walked back for a while, then turned around and came over here, pretending that he had just come here.
He came to the door again and saw the door opened and Wei Qingfan and Li Miaoyu walking out holding hands.
The three of them looked at each other and were all shocked. Li Miaoyu quickly took his hand away, and Wei Qingfan also quickly let go.
Li Shuqing didn't expect the two of them to move so quickly. Seeing that his daughter's clothes were neatly dressed, she was completely relieved. She just pretended not to notice the small gesture of holding hands and said with a smile: "Just in time, I was just about to find you... Are you hungry? I want to think about it tonight.
What to eat?”
"It's all fine."
Li Miaoyu didn't notice anything unusual about her father. She happily shook the phone and showed it to him, "I want to buy this phone too. It's fun~~"
Li Shuqing was a little surprised why she was suddenly interested in mobile phones again, but he didn't care about it. He smiled and said, "Then buy it. I'll call later to see if I can still buy it."
"Uh-huh!"
Li Miaoyu nodded vigorously and asked Wei Qingfan: "Is there only one color? I don't want such a color..."
"Well... you can wait a few years, when technology is based on changing shells..."
