Chapter 11

At less than 5 a.m. on June 10, the day began to shine. Fang zhe got up early and watched the replay video of Apple's global developer conference on the Internet.

The conference was held in the United States in the early morning. For fear of affecting today's class, Fang zhe didn't stay up late to watch the live broadcast.

Looking at Steve Jobs, who was making his opening remarks, Fang zhe had some feelings. The founder of apple, once created 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 back to the peak and opened the prosperous era of mobile Internet. However, he died of cancer in 2011 and failed to witness the legend created by apple 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 the next press conference, iphone2.0, that is, the new version of the intelligent operating system on devices such as iPhone and iTouch.

It was not until Apple released the iPad in 2010 that the name of the system was changed to IOS. However, Fang Zhe is used to calling IOS, so he is too lazy to call awkward names such as iPhone 2.0.

Later, Scott foster, the senior vice president of the iPhone software department that jobs most valued, went on the stage to give a detailed introduction. The ace designer of apple, a veteran who had followed jobs for more than a decade, left apple the year after jobs died.

If you are lucky, Fang zhe would like to meet these two legends in this life.

After that, there are various applications developed by some developers officially invited by apple for the upcoming app store, including Sega's Super Monkey Ball game, that is, the game that Fang zhe forgot his name and made more than $3 million in three days. There are other developers' applications, such as shopping software eBay, baseball league viewing application, medical teaching application and so on.

After that, jobs came on the stage again and introduced the highlight of the conference. In addition to introducing its support for 3G, GPS, WiFi, multilingual input method including Chinese and other functions, the iPhone 3G will be launched in more than 20 countries and regions, and will be sold to 70 countries and regions around the world by the end of the year.

As the selling countries and regions on the big screen were marked red on the world map, there were warm applause and cheers. Fang zhe seemed to hear the praise of those participants for Apple conquering the world with iPhone.

At this moment, Fang zhe was deeply infected. His mind and determination to be a world-class multinational company became stronger and stronger.

Finally, jobs broke the ultra-low price of $199 for iPhone 3g8g memory and $299 for 16g memory, once again detonating the whole audience. However, Fang zhe knows that only the contract machine that has signed a contract with the operator on sale is this price, and the retail price should be much higher than this.

The whole Developer Conference lasted more than 100 minutes. Although Fang zhe had seen it in his previous life, his mood was very different in this life.

In my previous life, I watched Apple's global developer conference over the years out of interest after the iPhone became popular in China for several years. Now, I have become a witness and participant to witness and participate in the changes that apple and mobile Internet will bring to the world.

In the evening, Fang zhe began to climb over the wall, apply for Apple's personal developer account and buy Amazon server.

However, at this time, Apple's official application requirements made Fang zhe a little silly. At present, the official only allows American developers and invited developers to apply for developer accounts, and other developer applications are not accepted temporarily.

For a time, Fang zhe felt cool in his heart. His feelings were busy for a long time?

Fang Zhe's mind turned sharply and tried to change the agents of wall climbing software into American IP addresses. All kinds of developer information were also filled in American related information. Finally, he was stuck by two problems.

One is the required U.S. social security number, and the other is the bound credit card or bank card.

The former is similar to China's ID card, which is inevitable for every legal resident living in the United States. The latter can only bind some bank cards in the United States and internationally because it does not support China UnionPay.

The latter is OK to say that as long as you apply for an international visa card. The American social security number in front is a little difficult. We don't even have a passport. Where can I get this.

Fang zhe can only temporarily give up applying for a developer account and find the official website of Amazon cloud. He plans to take a look at Amazon cloud server first.

However, the purchase of Amazon cloud server also requires an American or international bank card, and does not support the ICBC card used to store the cost of living.

"Hey, I just want to play games and forget these things. I don't even know which side the door of the Bank of America opens. Where can I get the Bank of America card?" Fang zhe was frustrated.

The fat man sitting on the opposite side playing games saw him unhappy in the gap between playing games. He couldn't help asking:

"What's the matter? Daniel"

Fang zhe thought, one more person, one more idea, maybe the fat man could give himself some advice, so he told the fat man about the problems he encountered.

"Hey, are you stupid playing games? What's rare? You find brother mosquito in the United States. He studied in the United States. He doesn't know anything." the fat man woke up Fang Zhe.

Fang zhe remembered that his mother reminded him some time ago that Zheng Siwen wanted to go back to Anyang. He said excitedly, "fat man, thank you, brother. I'll invite you to dinner later."

"Hey, who's whose brother? I'm six months older than you." the fat man shouted to Fang Zhe, who was calling while walking outside the dormitory.

Fang zhe turned his head and waved his hand: "OK, OK, OK, you're my brother. Wait for me first. I'll go out and call brother mosquito!"

Fang zhe dialed Zheng Siwen's phone. After a few beeps, the phone was connected.

"Hey, mosquito"

"Hey, ah Zhe, why did you think of calling me?"

...

After greeting, Fang zhe told Zheng Siwen about his application for an apple developer account.

"Well, ah Zhe, I'll go back to Anyang this Friday. I'll stay in Anyang for a few days. You'll talk about it when you come to me."

After Fang zhe agreed, they chatted a few more words and ended the call.

In the evening, Fang zhe invited the fat man out to have a meal. At the same time, he also told him about Zheng Siwen's return this Friday. After listening to this, the fat man said that he would go together at that time. He hasn't seen Zheng 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 next courses.
