At dusk, with the arrival of Wozniak, Wang Jian’s face showed even more surprise.
First, he was naturally shocked by Apple’s product developnt capabilities.
This audio player, ultimately nad "ipod," was far more compact and exquisite than the original version he held in his hands.
Moreover, the reading of "Anomalies and Creatures" by Beyoncé, a singer who had been part of a popular group and was now going solo, unexpectedly piqued one’s interest to keep listening.
Of course, Wang Jian made no comnts about another rapper nad Kanye West who provided rap the music for "Anomalies."
"My bat can cool down, my Husky eats spicy sticks..."
You listen, can this even be called a song?
On the other hand, he was surprised by the young white man who ca with Wozniak.
"Wang, this is Jack Smith," Wozniak introduced. "The founder of Hotmail."
"Hello." Wang Jian shook hands with the seemingly dull young white man, then looked at Wozniak, completely unclear how Wangwen’s collaboration with Apple was related to Hotmail.
Well...
Indeed, there was no relation at all.
"Wang, I’m a fan of your book." The founder of Hotmail pulled out a novel. "Could you sign it for ?"
"Uh, sure." Wang Jian signed his na and handed it back.
At that mont, Wozniak glanced at his watch and exclaid, "’Anomalies and Creatures’ is about to start."
"Wang, you don’t mind if we watch it here, do you?"
There’s a new episode of "Anomalies" today? Doesn’t that an "Prison Break Special Forces" is also updating?
To be honest, he was more concerned with his collaboration with HBO than with the project licensed to ABC.
After all, the latter could bring more revenue, and the forr no longer had much to do with him.
However, seeing the hopeful looks of the two n, Wang Jian couldn’t bear to reveal this truth.
So, he simply nodded, let them sit on the sofa, and switched the channel to ABC.
"Mr. Wozniak, we’ll be right outside; you can call us at any ti," a man in black respectfully said.
"Hmm," Wozniak nodded to acknowledge and let the man leave.
The man in black behind Jack Smith also said the sa thing.
"Who are these two?" Wang Jian asked, looking towards the sofa.
"Security guards," Wozniak stated matter-of-factly. "Wang, you should hire one too."
"I have contact information here, from a company called Black Water; they provide excellent service."
Uh...
Is this the life of a billionaire?
Wang Jian thought about it and felt uncomfortable having soone stand by his door all the ti.
So, after getting their agreent, he opened a room across from them where the bodyguards could rest.
But who knew, just after making these arrangents, more people arrived.
"This is Mark Anderson, chief technician at Netscape."
"This is David Filo, chief technology officer at Yahoo."
"Mr. Wang, can you sign this for ?" the new arrivals asked.
"Uh, sure." Wang Jian signed while observing the room.
All these people had a dull expression, the classic nerd look.
Damn, what’s going on?
Are they holding a computer technology conference?
The hotel manager had the sa question as Wang Jian.
Although these individuals might not be the founders or major shareholders of companies, they were undoubtedly influential figures in Silicon Valley.
So many important people gathering in room 402 of the hotel, what were they planning?
"Do you know?" an excited financial officer who was keen on stock trading said. "Tonight, the total wealth of everyone in room 402 is nearing that of Bill Gates."
Uh...
The manager thought for a mont, then instructed over the walkie-talkie, "Send a few more servers to the door of 402, we must satisfy all custor requests."
After saying this, he sighed deeply, "I hope our hotel service can satisfy these wealthy people..."
However, these individuals weren’t so difficult; they were quite approachable.
Wang Jian looked at this group of nerds, each worth at least ten million, sitting on the couch, drinking cola, and discussing the plot.
In his heart, he silently made a judgnt.
Tonight, the first episode of "Anomalies" was about hatching a rmaid.
When they saw the Husky girl putting the egg in the pot to boil, pained expressions appeared on their faces.
But when the rmaid hatched, recognized the male lead as its dad, and the pot as its mom, and beca an aunt to the vampire, Husky, and rmaids, their eyes seed to start glowing.
"Ha, this little rmaid is too cute," Wozniak said with a laugh, then turned his head to look at Wang Jian.
"Wang, are you interested in starting a figurine factory? I’ll invest one million US Dollars, just produce a limited edition for , no need to worry about dividends."
"Count in."
" too."
Wang Jian went to the fridge to get a few bottles of cola for them, "Stop joking."
"I’m not..." a young man muttered, but was imdiately slapped by soone next to him.
"Don’t talk, the second episode is starting."
Wang Jian drank his cola, shrugged, and started watching TV with them.
The second episode was about the main characters arriving in a world made entirely of gold.
And the people of that world, to avoid extinction, had all transford into a form of information mist.
This was also the first complete appearance of the major antagonist in "Anomalies," the eldest son.
"Is this... Cthulhu?" Soone looked at the TV screen, his voice trembling with excitent, "Wang, was your inspiration from Cthulhu?"
"Definitely not, Cthulhu represents destruction, these eldest sons initially represent rebirth." This person also looked at Wang Jian.
"Don’t ask , go ask that guy nad Yuan Tong!" Wang Jian rolled his eyes, unresponsive.
However, the two didn’t mind because the TV started showing continuous high-energy scenes.
Electronic storm, information rging...
Until the main character cracked an information source.
"Don’t be afraid, child, mommy is here."
"Mommy, it hurts... I want to go ho..."
"Stranger, please take this, it is a trace of our civilization."
"Our Nar Star People, we too struggled to survive until we could no longer."
Along with a burst of noisy electronic sound, the second episode of "Anomalies" also ended.
Perhaps due to the serious plot, the atmosphere in the room beca a bit somber.
"Holy shit, really?" Wang Jian looked in one direction and saw that soone was actually tearing up.
"What else do these people interact with besides computers? Can they really be moved like this?"
While he was surprised, his phone rang suddenly.
Wang Jian glanced at it and answered, "Hello, Jas, what’s up?"
"Wang," Jas’s excited voice ca through, "we won!"
"The viewership of ’Anomalies’ has just matched last night’s ’Friends.’"
"Also, CBS announced ’Everybody Loves Raymond’ will shift schedules to Monday."
Possibly because of excessive excitent, his voice was a bit loud.
"Ha, ’Anomalies’ matching ’Friends’ ans it definitely won’t get canceled," Wozniak said, laughing loudly.
"That ans we definitely get to see the second season of ’Anomalies’!" another young man also said with a laugh.
"This is truly a joyous occasion," Mark Anderson pressed the exclusive call bell of the presidential suite.
"Bring us a bottle of your best champagne," he said to the waitress.
"Our finest champagne is Perrier Jouet, it costs 50,000 US Dollars. Are you sure you want to open it?"
Mark Anderson, while laughing and talking with others, casually nodded.
This directly led to the attendant asking again, "50,000 US Dollars, are you sure you want to open it?"
"Of course."
After the waitress left, Mark Anderson looked sowhat puzzled at everyone, "Why did she ask twice?"
All the people in the room looked at each other, all shaking their heads in confused wonder.
