Vol 5 Chapter 926: the difference

Looking at Feng Yiping facing Steve Jobs, Lao Pan and the others, including Lao Lin, were quite convinced.

In the United States, it is not difficult to see the president, because the president has to canvass for votes, but it is really difficult to see people like Jobs and others.

The same is true for Ellison from Oracle. He will pay attention to all the people he follows. He will not let go of your trash can, such as Microsoft, but those who are not related, I’m sorry, you stand in front of him. , He would never see.

Because it has nothing to do with Jobs and Ellison's industry, even though he has been in the Bay Area for decades, this is the first time that Pan has seen these two individuals so close.

These two, especially Jobs, are not good at getting along with each other. They also heard a little bit, but look, Feng Yiping joked with him.

Feng Yiping was really joking with Jobs. He looked at Jobs with a smile, "Why, now suddenly I have time?"

Even Ellison finds it interesting, because he doesn’t live far away. Although he often walks with Jobs, he complains about the old Bill who lives by the lake, and tells which day he drove his family of jet fighters. Go there and throw a missile, but rarely talk to Jobs like that.

He knew very well about Jobs' temper, it was very distinctive, very moody.

But to his a little surprise, Jobs actually smiled when facing Feng Yiping's obviously ridiculous sentence, "Yes, there is time now,"

Afterwards, he akimbo and looked at the garden.

This is not right, Ellison said to himself, how could your old Joe be so easy-going?

This can only mean that Ellison, who is 61 years old, is not as thorough as Feng Yiping.

That is, no matter how successful Jobs is, no matter how talented, and no matter how diverse the personality is, he also needs someone who can truly get along with him without considering and caring about his identity. He can say whatever he wants and do whatever he wants. In front of him, there is no need to always hold someone.

Therefore, other people did not dare to joke with Jobs, but Feng Yiping did. Obviously, Jobs lacked such a friend.

Jobs looked at the garden in front of him behind the high wall, then looked at the parking lot in front of the door, and nodded, "It's quite big,"

It’s really not easy for you to distinguish between praise and criticism. Feng Yiping’s answer is also very distinctive, "Of course, I spent a lot of money on buying land."

Ellison was dumb, how about the money? What kind of big money is this money for buying land?

"Let's go, don't let them wait for a long time," Feng Yiping said, "I used a lot of heart to make arrangements."

In front of these two, Feng Yiping would not be polite, because everyone is at the same level. If you are too humble, you will feel fake.

When they entered the door, both of them were shocked.

Speaking of which, these two have a soft spot for Japanese culture, especially Zen culture over there, and they also admire Japanese architecture very much. I won’t say anything about Ellison. He later bought more than 20 acres. The land is said to have been rebuilt in California in the same way as the royal palace in the island country as his residence.

This shows his love for Japanese architecture and gardens.

So when they stepped into the gate and saw a corner of Feng Yiping's garden, they felt a little familiar, but a little different.

Familiarity is because, it seems, this garden also looks like their style.

The difference is that it looks more sparse and natural, fresh and open, and looks much more atmospheric than the style they like.

No way, this is the essential difference between a central power and an island country.

Together with Lao Pan and the others, they commented on the decorations in the living room. When Lao Pan and the others arrived here, they naturally felt cordial. Although they have been Westernized for so many years abroad, including their lifestyles, these things are obviously the best fit for them. Inheritance.

Jobs and the others felt that these things seemed familiar, but they were very different from those they knew and liked.

Including Lao Pan and the others watching the tea ceremony performance that they are reluctant to leave. Compared with the Japanese style, maybe the performers are more beautiful, maybe the venue is more suitable. They both feel that compared to the Japanese style, they are more organized. The whole here is more pleasing to the eye.

The same is true for the group fan. The two of them are also familiar with this. Up to now, this is still an important prop in rb's geisha performances. As far as they are concerned, their faces are so thick that they can’t even recognize them. , It seems that there is really no need to block the ball fan.

"This is naturally Chinese, and it was gradually spread to other Asian countries during the Tang Dynasty," Feng Yiping explained to Ellison seriously.

"This seems to resemble that, that, that famous garden in Jiangnan," Jobs thought for a while, but didn't think of what the Humble Administrator's Garden should say.

"Humble\\administrator\\garden," Feng Yiping said, "Yes, we did use it as a reference when designing, but we also absorbed the characteristics of some of our other well-known gardens."

"Ellison, how many gardens have you visited in China?" Feng Yiping asked him.

Unlike Jobs, Ellison, as the owner of Oracle, has visited China many times and has organized many large-scale events. They once contracted three five-star hotels in the capital and held an e-commerce and high-tech event. forum.

"Have been to the Summer Palace,"

"You should actually go a little farther away and go to Jiangnan to see."

Let alone the Forbidden City, let alone a person, a country, it is difficult to replicate.

Other well-known gardens in the north, whether it is the Summer Palace or the Mountain Resort, are hundreds of hectares at every turn. Ellison likes them, and can't replicate them. He can try the private gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.

Sometimes, on some issues, Feng Yiping is very narrow-minded. He has successfully brought Steve Jobs to the country for a trip. He also hopes to influence Ellison. What is so good about the thing called the palace of the island country? copy.

"Look at these details," he said, pointing to the carved flowers on the window lattice. "The ancient construction team that undertook my garden has also participated in a lot of the repair work of the Forbidden City in our country. The level is this," he thumbs up.

Ellison was really moved. "It seems like a good idea to build such a self-contained garden as a residence? At least better than the one on Seattle Lake. What do you think is Steve?"

Jobs said nothing, but nodded slightly.

He personally does not spend money as much as Ellison, and he is not as explicit as Ellison against Microsoft.

Ellison has a 472-foot-long cruise ship, Sunrise, for a considerable reason, because Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has a 414-foot-long Octopus.

He later spent 300 million U.S. dollars to buy Lanai Island in the Hawaiian Islands. It does not seem to be the most extraordinary of all his luxury behaviors, but in 1994, Bill Gates was on this island and married his wife Mei. Linda...

He also preached everywhere, why he and his company would surpass Bill Gates and Microsoft, because he dropped out three times, and Bill dropped out only once...

These old guys are like naughty children sometimes.

Watching their interaction at this time, Feng Yiping suddenly thought that the reason why the two had a good personal relationship, apart from the closeness of the house, it seems that their discomfort with Bill Gates should also be an important reason.

"Feng, what do you think of Japanese restaurants?" Ellison asked suddenly.

Although this guy is a **** sometimes, he still has a vision, and he can tell at a glance that Feng Yiping's move is good for the improvement of Chinese food and it is not good for rb's cuisine.

"Our Chinese tradition is that the host will try to take care of the guest's feelings, from his perspective, and try to make him feel comfortable,"

Ellison glanced at Feng Yiping, it seems that this is not only your Chinese tradition!

"So we will never set so many unkind rules~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What about taking off your shoes, sitting on your knees, please, I am here to consume, not to spend money to buy sins and sufferings,"

"Everything is humanized now. I think this, especially in the service industry, must first be considered, right? But it seems that some industry players have not considered this at all,"

Feng Yiping's remarks made Ellison and Jobs unable to object.

Although they are fans of the rb culture, at least these two points are uncomfortable.

Even if you go to a friend's house, no one will be willing to take off your shoes, let alone spend money on food?

Besides sitting on your knees, please, it's your business that you like to kneel, why don't you prepare a sofa for me?

It seems that they are not humane enough in many ways?

At this time, they finally caught up with Laurenna and the others, "What is that?" Jobs asked.

"That is our other traditional arts and crafts, iron painting,"
