Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Early that morning, Chen Feng drove Ning Yao and Lu Ting to the Olympic Committee building in high spirits.

After dropping off the two girls, he picked up Shmuel directly, and the two of them set off together, their destination being the coveted Silicon Valley.

Ever since Chen Feng sponsored "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​with 10 million US dollars, he has been thinking about how to make the money back.

Moreover, his main purpose of coming to the United States this time was to promote the Nanfeng operating system. However, he spent a lot of money but only sold one set of the system!

This progress really made him anxious, so he asked Shmuel to help him keep an eye out for and introduce some opportunities in Silicon Valley.

Shmuel was indeed very helpful and soon brought him good news.

There is a new IT technology exchange meeting in Silicon Valley these days, and we worked hard to get him a speaking spot.

When Shmuel asked him if he wanted to go, Chen Feng was overjoyed and answered without hesitation: "Of course I will go!"

So, today he and Shmuel had their trip to Silicon Valley.

The car set off and drove onto the broad Highway 5. On both sides of the road were endless fields, with golden waves of wheat swaying gently in the breeze, like a golden ocean.

In the distance, rolling mountains are looming, forming a line with the blue sky.

Chen Feng drove the car skillfully while chatting happily with Shmuel.

They talked about the development of business, especially the emerging IT industry.

Chen Feng lamented, "Today's era is one of rapid advancement and rapid obsolescence. Technology is updated so rapidly that if you're not careful, you'll be crushed."

Shmuel agreed: "That's right, but it is precisely this rapid change that gives us more opportunities..."

The two of them became more and more interested in each other as they talked, and before they knew it, several hours had passed and Silicon Valley was right in front of them.

Speaking of Silicon Valley, it has a glorious history.

From the rise of the early semiconductor industry to the subsequent personal computer revolution and the future Internet and mobile Internet era, Silicon Valley has always been at the forefront of technological development.

By the 1980s, Silicon Valley had become the core area of ​​the global high-tech industry, attracting countless entrepreneurs and top talents.

Many well-known technology companies such as Apple, Google, Intel, etc. are gathered here.

The streets are filled with young people with dreams, passionately discussing new ideas and projects. Inside high-rise buildings, countless R&D teams toil day and night, contributing to the advancement of science and technology.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the engine of global innovation and a paradise for entrepreneurs.

Chen Feng looked at the scene in front of him with great excitement in his heart. He hoped that this trip to Silicon Valley would bring new opportunities for his career.

When they arrived at the venue, they found that many people had already gathered there, and most of them were young people.

Before the meeting even started, these young people gathered in groups of three or four. Everyone was chatting passionately, with undisguised confidence on their faces.

The arrival of Shmuel and Chen Feng also attracted their attention.

Chen Feng was a stranger to them, but Shmuel, the former vice president of General Motors, was well-known in the circle, and many people immediately gathered around to greet him.

Shmuel smiled and greeted everyone one by one.

Intel CEO Andy Grove was the first to speak: "Shmuel, long time no see! I didn't expect to see you here. You've been shining at the Olympics recently!"

Gordon Moore, also from Intel, followed up with another comment: "Yes, you suddenly came to Silicon Valley. Are you planning something big after the Olympics?"

Don Valentine of Sequoia Capital laughed and said, “We at Sequoia can’t miss that.”

Don Valentine is the founder of Sequoia and is very famous in the venture capital industry. He is known as Old Tang!

Lao Tang participated in Apple's early investment and made a fortune!

Shmuel responded with a smile: "Dear friends, thank you for your concern. The Olympics is indeed a grand event, but I am not here today for myself, nor for any new event." When everyone heard this, they all looked confused.

Shmuel continued, "I'm here today just to keep my friend company."

After that, he put his hand on Chen Feng's shoulder and introduced him to everyone: "This is Chen Feng, from China, and he is the protagonist today."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the business tycoons present were surprised and turned their eyes to Chen Feng at the same time.

Their eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity, and they secretly wondered who this young Chinese man was who could make Shmuel willing to serve as his foil.

Andy Grove looked Chen Feng up and down, and was the first to break the silence and ask, "I wonder what kind of business Mr. Chen is in? Why do you think so highly of him?"

Shmuel smiled and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient. You will know everything after the exchange meeting starts." Although everyone was extremely curious, they could only hold it back for the time being and wait for the exchange meeting to officially begin so that they could unveil the identity of this mysterious young man.

The meeting started soon, and Chen Feng and Shmuel entered the venue. Chen Feng had a speech, and his number was number six.

He originally thought that it would definitely not be his turn today, but he didn't expect that every person who took the stage to speak was very efficient, with almost no nonsense, and everyone was very punctual. They just started speaking and finished on time in half an hour. Even if they exceeded the time, no one exceeded five minutes. The rhythm was very tight.

Soon it was number five's turn. When Chen Feng saw the person, he immediately became excited. It was Steve Jobs.

Jobs stood on the stage with a firm and confident look.

He slowly began, "Today, I want to introduce you to a product that could change the world—the Macintosh personal computer. It features an intuitive graphical user interface, making operation simple and convenient, eliminating the complex command-line input of the past. We are committed to making it easy for everyone to use a computer and unleash their creativity. It's more than just a tool; it's a lifestyle revolution."

Jobs spoke slowly, without exaggerated expressions or movements, but every word he said was filled with passion, as if carrying a kind of magic that made people involuntarily immersed in it.

"We believe the Macintosh will usher in a new era of personal computing. Its superior performance and beautiful design will meet your needs for both work and play. We overcame countless challenges during the development process to bring you the best experience possible," Jobs said in a steady and powerful voice. "In the future, Apple will continue to be committed to innovation and bring you even more surprises."

Chen Feng was listening attentively in the audience. He knew very well that this computer had achieved great success.

However, Jobs, who was full of vigor and ambition at the time, must not have imagined that just one year later, he would be forced to leave Apple, the company he founded, due to internal power struggles and strategic differences in the company.
