The call was from Steve's sister. On the phone, she told Bai Shuo that Steve had passed away just now. Before his death, Steve was a little confused, but he kept chanting Bai Shuo's name and saying something.
Talk to him.
Since Steve could no longer provide Bai Shuo's information, they spent a lot of time finding Bai Shuo's contact information. But by this time, Steve had already passed away.
Bai Shuo asked Steve what he said, and the other party told him that Steve seemed to be thinking before leaving: My era has come to an end, and it's up to you next.
When Le Ni learned that the friend Bai Shuo mentioned turned out to be Steve, the founder of Apple, she was even more surprised. At the same time, she understood Bai Shuo's mood at the moment.
After bidding farewell to Le Ni in a hurry, Bai Shuo immediately asked Wei Sa to help him change his itinerary and prepare to go to California, the United States, because Steve's commemoration ceremony will be held there one day later.
Wei Sa was a little hesitant, but Bai Shuo got a little angry and asked Wei Sa why he still didn't carry out his wishes. Wei Sa told Bai Shuo in embarrassment that there was no direct flight to California, and it was estimated that it would be too late. But she
I will still try my best to help Bai Shuo choose the fastest way to arrive.
Bai Shuo calmed down and apologized to Wei Sa. But Wei Sa was not angry. Instead, he comforted Bai Shuo and said, "The condolences on the spot are important, but sometimes we can express our grief even though we are thousands of miles apart."
Wei Sa's words seemed to touch Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo thought about it and immediately called the president of Kirin Mobile and inquired about Kirin Mobile's recent business arrangements.
The other party told Bai Shuo that Kirin mobile phone will have a new product launch in a few days, and this time its competitors will directly target Apple 4s. In view of Apple's high price, Kirin's mobile phone will form a comparative competition with it, and the advertising slogan will also be
:The partners who are closest to us should not be so out of reach...
Just as the president of Kirin Mobile was telling Bai Shuo this with great interest, Bai Shuo suddenly said in an imperative manner: "The release of all new products under Kirin Company will be postponed indefinitely. Also, the Kirin Mobile headquarters and all branches will stop all celebrations within a week.
, entertainment activities, and company flags will be flown at half-mast to express condolences to Apple founder Steve."
"What? This..." The other party didn't seem to understand Bai Shuo's intentions, but they were used to seeing anything bad happen to Apple as something they could only be happy about.
"This is an order, please execute it immediately and quickly..." After saying that, Bai Shuo hung up the phone.
This arrangement may just be out of Bai Shuo's personal feelings, but what is unexpected is that Qilin Company's immediate response immediately won praise within the industry, and many companies began to follow suit. Steve
His death set off a worldwide mourning event, and many competitors also mourned this technological innovation leader in different ways. The original "smartphone war" that was getting increasingly fierce was temporarily "truceed" in memory of Steve.
The flight from Siam didn't seem to be very convenient. After some troubleshooting, Bai Shuo rushed to Santa Clara County, California, the United States overnight. But even so, he still missed the memorial service at Stanford University Memorial Church.
After the funeral, everyone gradually dispersed. Bai Shuo came to Steve's grave alone, holding flowers, and stood in front of Steve's grave for a long time, recalling everything he had with Steve. When he once again thought of Steve's love for Steve, he stood there for a long time.
When I said the last words, I burst into tears and cried bitterly.
A child passed by and asked, "Uncle, why are you crying?"
Bai Shuo knelt down on one knee, stroked the child's head and replied: "Because uncle lost one of his best friends..."
At this time, a figure appeared next to Bai Shuo: "Thank you for your evaluation of my brother. Are you Mr. Bai Shuo?"
I came to Steve's former residence again. The last time I came here, it was a period when the relationship between Bai Shuo and Steve continued to heat up. But after a few years, things have changed.
"On Tuesday morning, he called me to hurry up and get to Palo Alto. His tone was affectionate and loving, but like a man who had checked his luggage and was about to begin his journey. Even though he was filled with emotion about leaving us.
Apologize, deeply apologize..." Steve's wife told Bai Shuo about Steve's last moments.
Steve knew that his life was coming to an end, and he began to arrange everything a few days ago, including saying goodbye to the people around him.
By noon that day, his wife was able to wake him up and let him talk to his friends at Apple for a while. Then, after a while, it became clear that he could no longer communicate clearly with everyone. His breathing changed and became difficult.
, but seemed to be deliberately holding on. I could feel that he was silently counting his steps again, hoping to hold on for a little longer. I suddenly realized at that time: he also regarded this as a job. Death will never happen to Steve,
He did it.
Listening to the other party's anecdotal account of the days before Steve left, Bai Shuo could completely feel Steve's open-mindedness before leaving, but also regrets and reluctance. Perhaps he left just one day after the release of 4S
, which was also Steve’s last persistence and persistence.
"Did he go peacefully?" Bai Shuo asked.
Steve's wife told Bai Shuo: After Steve finished saying goodbye to everyone, his last words were monosyllables. It took everyone a long time to understand that he was saying Bai Shuo's name, and they stayed with difficulty.
He said the last words, and could no longer speak after that. Before leaving, he looked at his relatives and children, and finally looked into the distance.
Bai Shuo stayed in the United States for two days, and before leaving, he came to Steve's former residence again to say goodbye to his wife.
Steve's wife expressed her gratitude to Bai Shuo and Kirin Mobile for everything they had done for Steve, and told Bai Shuo that she had signed a document to donate Steve's hundreds of billions of inheritance, including tens of billions.
Mi Yuan will be donated to the "Zhi Shuo Fund" established by Bai Shuo.
Bai Shuo was a little surprised when he heard the news. Just as he was about to refuse the kindness, the other party said: "I know this is a fund designed to encourage innovative development in the field of artificial intelligence and cultivate new AI intelligent talents. This is what Steve meant,
He said that people have national boundaries, but ideals and technological civilization should not have national boundaries. I hope you can take kindly to Steve's intention."
Bai Shuo lived up to Steve's kindness. Since then, the "Zhi Shuo Fund" has successfully promoted innovation revolutions again and again in the field of intelligence, cultivated many outstanding talents in various countries, and made contributions to the knowledge and cultural exchanges around the world.
