Reborn multinational giant

At less than 5 a.m. on June 10th, the sky had begun to light up. Fang Zhe got up early to watch the replay video of the Apple Global Developers Conference online.

The conference was over in the United States in the early hours of the morning, and Fang Zhe did not stay up late to watch the live broadcast because he was afraid of affecting the class today.

Looking at Steve Jobs, who was doing the opening remarks, Fang Zhe was a little bit emotional. The founder of Apple once made the glory of Apple's personal computer and was kicked out of the company by the board of directors because of poor performance.

After returning again, he led Apple to the top again and started the prosperity of the mobile Internet. However, he unfortunately passed away in 2011 due to cancer and failed to witness the legend that Apple created in this era.

Because it is a developer conference, the main content of the conference is also for developers.After the opening remarks, Jobs briefly introduced the main content of this conference, iPhone 2.0, which is the new version of the smart operating system on devices such as iPhone and iTouch.

It was not until 2010 that Apple released the ipad, the name of this system was changed to ios.But Fang Zhe is used to calling ios, so he doesn't bother to call awkward names like iPhone2.0.

Subsequently, Scott Foster, the senior vice president of Jobs’ most valued iPhone software department, came on stage to give a detailed introduction. This Apple’s ace designer, a veteran who followed Jobs for more than ten years, was also second after Jobs’ death. In the year, left Apple.

If lucky, Fang Zhe would like to visit these two legends in this life.

After that, some developers officially invited by Apple to develop various applications for the upcoming appstore, including Sega’s Super Monkey Ball game, which Fang Zhe had forgotten before. The one that made more than 3 million US dollars in three days. game.There are other developer applications, such as shopping software eBay, baseball league viewing applications, medical teaching applications and so on.

After that, Steve Jobs played again and introduced the highlight of the conference. The iphone3g, which will be launched on July 11, will not only introduce its support for 3g, gps, wifi, and multilingual input methods including Chinese, but also mention. In more than 20 countries and regions where iphone3g was first released, and will be sold to 70 countries and regions around the world by the end of the year.

As the countries and regions of sale on the big screen were marked in red on the world map, there was enthusiastic applause and cheers. Fang Zhe seemed to be able to hear from these applauses that those attendees conquered Apple with iPhone The praise of the world.

At this moment, Fang Zhe was deeply affected. His inner desire and determination to become a world-class multinational company became stronger.

Finally, Jobs broke the news of the ultra-low prices of iphone3g8G memory of US$199 and 16G memory of US$299, which once again detonated the audience.However, Fang Zhe knew in his heart that only the contract machine that signed a contract with the selling operator was at this price, and the retail price should be much higher than this.

The entire developer conference lasted more than 100 minutes. Although Fang Zhe had watched it once in his previous life, he felt very different when he watched it again in this life.

In my previous life, I watched the Apple Global Developers Conference over the years out of interest after the iphone has been popular in China for several years.But now, I have become a witness and participant, witnessing and participating in the changes that Apple and the mobile Internet will bring to the world.

In the evening self-study, Fang Zhe began to apply for Apple's personal developer account and purchase Amazon servers over the wall.

However, at this time, Apple's official application requirements made Fang Zhe a little dumbfounded. At present, the government only allows developers and invited developers in the United States to apply for developer accounts, and other developer applications are temporarily not accepted.

For a while, Fang Zhe felt that he was refreshing, and his feelings were busy for a long time.

Fang Zhe's thoughts changed sharply, and he tried to change the circumvention software's agent to a US ip address. Various developer information was also filled with US-related information. Finally, he was stuck with two problems.

One is the required US Social Security number, and the other is a bound credit card or bank card.

The former is similar to China’s ID card and is something that every legal resident living in the United States must have. The latter is because China UnionPay is not yet supported. It can only be bound to some U.S. and international bank cards. .

For the latter, it's okay to say, as long as you apply for an international visa card.The US Social Security number in front is a bit difficult to handle. We don't even have a passport. Where can I get this stuff?

Fang Zhe could only temporarily give up applying for a developer account, and at the same time found the official website of Amazon Cloud, intending to look at Amazon Cloud Server first.

However, the purchase of Amazon cloud server also requires a US or international bank card, and it does not support my ICBC card used to store living expenses at all.

"Hey, just thinking about playing the game, I forgot about these things, I don't even know which way the door of Bank of America opens, where to get the Bank of America card?" Fang Zhe felt frustrated.

The fat man sitting across from playing the game saw him unhappy just when he was playing the game, and he couldn't help asking:

"What's the matter? Da Niu Ren"

Fang Zhe thought for a while, one more person and one more idea, maybe the fat man can give himself an idea, so he told the fat man about the problem he encountered.

"Hey, are you stupid by playing games? What's the rare thing about this, American things, you find Brother Mosquito, he has studied in the United States, he doesn't know what happened." The fat man awakened Fang Zhe.

Fang Zhe just remembered that some time ago his mother reminded himself that Zheng Siwen was going back to Anyang during this time. He said a little excitedly: "Fatty, brother, thank you, please wait to invite you to dinner."

"Hey, who is brother, I am six months older than you." The fat man shouted at Fang Zhe, who was walking outside the dormitory while calling.

Fang Zhe turned his head and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, okay, you are my brother, wait for me first, I'll go out and call Mosquito Brother!"

Fang Zhe dialed Zheng Siwen's phone, and after a few beeps, the phone was connected.

"Hey, Brother Mosquito"

"Hey, Azhe, why did your kid think of calling me."

...

After the greeting, Fang Zhe told Zheng Siwen about applying for an Apple developer account.

"In this way, Azhe, I will return to Anyang this Friday, and I will stay in Anyang for a few days. You will talk more about it when you come to see me."

After Fang Zhe agreed, the two chatted a few more words and ended the call.

In the evening, Fang Zhe invited the fat man out to have a meal, and at the same time told him about Zheng Siwen’s return this Friday. After hearing this, the fat man bluntly said that he would also go with him when the time comes. Siwen, the brother who took them to play since childhood.

The progress of the game was blocked, and Fang Zhe just used his spare time in these two days to make up for the courses.
