Jiang Hua smiled and said: "You Steve are a genius, I can't be a fool."
Jobs laughed and said, "I like to deal with geniuses. Show me your stuff and see what kind of good stuff it is."
Jiang Hua took out several motherboards and the Bell Labs evaluation report and placed them on the table in front of Jobs.
"This motherboard was developed by a laboratory that gathered half of the microelectronics industry, and it has been verified by Bell Labs. This is the evaluation report."
Jobs exclaimed: "Wow, you are really knowledgeable about the Bell Labs evaluation report. This is a stepping stone to qualification. I need to arrange for our technical staff to take a look at it."
Jobs handed the motherboard and evaluation report to the technicians, and accompanied Jiang Hua to visit Apple's office area.
Jobs explained to Jiang Hua: "I like Zen culture, so look, although our office here is a high-tech office, you can clearly see the signs of Zen culture in some of the decorations."
Jiang Hua nodded and said: "I understand, but what you like is Xiaodongyang's Zen culture. In the final analysis, it is just a variant of Buddhist culture mixed with the dregs of Xiaodongyang culture. It is somewhat similar to Zahezhong culture. In fact, Japan
Oriental people don’t know much about Zen. Their Buddhist culture was introduced from flower growers, and mixed with the different cultures they learned from flower growers. The resulting culture is, I can only say, laughable.
"
Jobs smiled and said: "Is it possible that because your flower growers once had a war with Xiaodong Yang, you flower growers naturally look down on Xiaodong Yang's culture?"
"Xiao Dongyang once attacked Pearl Harbor." Jiang Hua shook his head and said: "The whole of East Asia is actually living under the light of the culture of flower growers. When Xiao Dongyang was ignorant, he went to the flower growers to seek wisdom, and he learned all kinds of things here.
A little bit, learn a little bit from there, and add in the dross of their own country, and what you end up with is this kind of hybrid culture."
Jobs asked rhetorically: "Then Buddhist culture originated in ancient India. Can we say that Chinese Buddhist culture is actually a variant culture?"
"Buddhist culture did originate in ancient Tianzhu, but you have to know that it was developed among flower growers. On the contrary, in ancient Tianzhu, this culture has gradually disappeared. Just like your Christianity, the current Christianity is still in its infancy.
Christianity?"
After a tour, Jobs sent Jiang Hua to the hotel door. He said to Jiang Hua: "Thank you for your explanation of Zen culture. I think I need to read more books in this area to understand the truth."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "In fact, you attribute all so-called traditional culture to mysterious culture. You don't understand it. It just originates from your ignorance and arrogance. You firmly believe that you must be right. There is a saying from the Chinese family.
Here you go: If you listen to both, you will be enlightened; if you listen to one side, you will be dark."
Jobs muttered it a few times, nodded and said, "This is a very wise sentence. Thank you for your advice."
Before leaving, Jobs said: "Jiang, your motherboard may take a few days to test and evaluate. After all, I have to consider everything."
"Understood, I can give you a little promise. Our motherboards are better than anything on the market now, and they are cheaper. Business is business, and it is always better to reduce costs than to increase costs."
Jobs said: "This makes you more of a qualified capitalist than me."
"To each other, don't you hope to make more money? When you were in the garage, maybe you hoped to change the world, but now, don't you have some utilitarian elements in your ambition?"
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Jobs smiled and cursed: "Damn it, Jiang, I've seen you through."
"Steve, changing the world also requires money. Of course, the lower the cost, the better."
Jobs laughed. He was no longer the foolish young man who started a business in a garage. Now he not only had the dream of changing the world, but also had the desire to gain wealth.
Jiang Hua did not wait for Apple's reply. Now that personal computers are in full swing, IBM has opened the curtain. This is an era where you sing and I come on stage.
Many heroes wanted to show off their talents. Jiang Hua came to HP without stopping. As expected, HP did not need Jiang Hua, but the evaluation report from Bell Labs still knocked on the door of HP's personal computer laboratory.
When he returned to the hotel, John from Bell Labs called him.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I'm taking the liberty to call you."
Jiang Hua knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and said with a smile: "John, you are my friend. There is nothing presumptuous about you. If you have anything to say, just say it."
John said anxiously: "I have a few friends who are interested in your motherboard and want to buy a batch for testing."
"Then we can make an appointment to chat."
John paused and gave the name of a cafe and the agreed time. Jiang Hua wanted to say a few more words, but John was a homebody who was not good at talking, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.
The next day, Jiang Hua arrived at the cafe on time, and four people sat there waiting. Three of them looked like otakus, including John.
The remaining one seemed to have a high emotional intelligence. When he saw Jiang Hua arriving, he stood up and shook hands.
"Hello, I'm Rod Kenyon."
"Hello, Jianghua."
At this time, John stood up: "Jiang, Rod, you guys can talk. I have work matters to do, so I won't accompany you. Anyway, you already know each other."
Seeing John leaving alone, Rhodes smiled and said: "John is a person who focuses on technology. He is not good at communication. You know, so don't mind."
Jiang Hua smiled: "It doesn't matter, I think such a character is very good. Being friends with someone like John makes me feel extremely at ease. And if you have a problem and need his help, I think he will do his best."
Rhodes stretched out his hand to express his agreement: "You are so right. I think John is the kind of mentor and friend. This is why we can become good friends."
Jiang Hua ordered regular coffee, took a sip and asked, "Okay, let's talk directly. John said you are very interested in our motherboard. How much do you want?"
Rhodes said a little embarrassed at this moment: "Actually, we don't want much, just a few dozen yuan will be enough."
"A few dozen yuan? No problem at all. It's better than nothing."
Rhodes raised his voice and said, "This is just the first step. We may want more in the next step."
