According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Even more appealing and avant-garde than large fruits are fruits.
The photos show two chassis colors: silver-white and dark black. Only the silver-white one is a high-end model, made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, durable, good at heat dissipation, and prone to deformation.
The black body is made of a combination of sheet metal and plastic; it's a cheap phone, so quality standards are lowered.
High-end models come with LCD displays, making them even more sophisticated.
Setting aside the specifications, it still has plenty of selling points.
But for programmers, as long as a machine can power on and write code, its appearance doesn't matter. If it can help them complete the program, then it's a good machine.
Seeing Woz put down the photo, Xing Baohua said, "This is the latest computer I've developed. Of course, its configuration is a bit lacking, so I want to improve it and I need your help."
"You want me to work for you? That's not a good idea, Xing. I have a lot of things to do." When Woz heard "help," he thought Xing Baohua really wanted to invite him to work there, and his first reaction was to refuse.
Xing Baohua must be crazy to hire him. Who is Wozniak? He's one of the founders of DaGuozi. Even if he just holds a minor position at DaGuozi, he'd still earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year.
Besides, he's already financially independent. How much is appropriate to pay him to come here? Even a casual secondment would earn him an annual salary of over 100,000 yuan, and the black market exchange rate is 1:8 now. That's a million-yuan annual salary back home.
It's not that Xing Baohua can't come up with the money; the key is that he's short of it!
Xing Baohua originally didn't want to hire him; the money spent on him could have been used to hire several experts.
Xing Baohua's original intention was to have him introduce some reliable experts who were willing to work in China.
You don't need to be famous, just be able to do research and development steadily.
The most convenient and effortless way is to open a research lab in the United States, develop products, and then manufacture them domestically.
Don't be fooled by how convenient it is; it actually costs a lot of money.
Putting aside other expenses, the taxes alone amount to a considerable sum.
Therefore, Xing Baohua would rather bring people back to their homeland than pay more taxes to the United States.
After stating his requirements, Woz thought for a moment and said, "Instead of asking me, you should go find a headhunter. They can find all kinds of people you need." He then made a helpless waving gesture.
Xing Baohua nodded helplessly. He felt that it was a very Chinese way of thinking, just like back home, where it was common for friends to help each other.
From a foreigner's perspective, this goes beyond friendship. Recruiting people is a business transaction, and even if Xing Baohua offered a referral fee, they wouldn't want it.
Introducing Gates to me is a different matter from introducing me to him.
A friend introduced me to another friend; it falls within the scope of making friends.
Throwing a party would suffice, but recruiting people for Xing Baohua would require swallowing one's pride and asking around, which Woz saw as a waste of time.
Even without bringing up the topic, Xing Baohua knew she had said the wrong thing.
Casual conversation, as long as we don't talk about work or business.
What can men talk about when they get together? Programmers and technicians are the kind of people who are secretly passionate.
After having a few drinks, Wozniacki started talking non-stop about Hollywood actresses, but Xing Baohua didn't recognize any of them.
Even if Wozniak reminds her what movies she's acted in, Xing Baohua hasn't seen them all, so what's the point of talking? The only one she can name is the most flamboyant Madonna.
It would have been better if he hadn't brought it up, because once he did, Woz started talking about all the erotic stories he knew, whether they were rumors or things he'd heard from others—he was really gossipy.
As they talked, they came up with the San Fernando Valley.
Many Hollywood stars who can't find roles go to San Fernando.
That's a hotbed of beauties, even prettier than the regular Hollywood actresses, and their acting skills are far superior.
Xing Baohua really wants to ask if Hollywood has any serious actors.
Okay, you can't argue with a programmer about this kind of issue.
In short, as long as you have money, San Fernando can find whatever you want. Men and women, demons, animals?
No restrictions on skin color or nationality.
If it weren't for the distance, Woz would probably have taken Xing Baohua to see the world of some valley.
Well, if you want to die quickly, that place really is a paradise.
Xing Baohua wants to live a few more years. Even if he were to look for someone, he would probably go to Hollywood to find someone respectable.
According to Wozniak, many serious actors complete the San Fernando arc before moving on to Hollywood. If they succeed, they can easily win an award and their status will be secure.
Anyway, she can always find a rich and famous man to take her in.
If things don't go well, just go back to doing more dungeons.
Goodness, this is a trick we've used to death in ancient times, with all sorts of buildings and courtyards.
Finding someone to take over is just like a former prostitute reforming herself, isn't it?
Although their statuses are different, their natures are the same.
It seems that the actor who played Rambo also came from the San Fernando Valley after completing a dungeon.
The movie he starred in was also an action movie, the kind with multiple characters fighting each other.
Back then, Grandpa Shi was young and strong, with an exceptionally tall and strong physique. His movements were vigorous and powerful, but his expression was still expressionless.
Those who were beaten by Master Shi screamed in agony.
After drinking for a while, Woz and I went our separate ways home. Woz was planning to invite a few friends over for a party in the next couple of days.
We will notify Xing Baohua when the time comes.
Xing Baohua left the hotel address and phone number, saying he would be available anytime.
This time, Xing Baohua brought only bodyguards, not her secretary, to the gathering. Back at the hotel, when her secretary came to report, Xing Baohua felt a bit annoyed when she saw her cotton socks.
Without waiting for a report, I dragged her to the hotel's in-store shop and bought several black S-cups.
Tell her to get dressed before she comes to report on her work.
The secretary didn't know what was wrong with the boss, why he bought her socks, and such thin ones at that.
