Chapter 608

Upon reaching the exit, Jobs was shocked again.

Over a dozen identical top‑bulletproof luxury cars lined up, and from the outside you couldn't see inside at all.

Yang Fan pulled him into one car, and then over a dozen cars in the underground passage kept shifting positions.

When they exited the passage, he himself didn't know which car he was in.

Jobs opened his mouth wide.

"Yang, is this really necessary?"

"It looks like something big is happening."

Yang Fan explained to him.

"Steve, this is our Yang Family's security protocol."

"We have to listen to them; they're the professionals."

"You might not understand this behavior."

"If I put it this way, you should get it."

"Recently, my father organized a bid for the backbone network."

"It caused some trouble."

"Damn, Yang Fan's family is actually the Yang Family; the guy just now turned out to be the Gangdao tyrant, Yang Qing."

That gave him another jolt of shock.

Recently, it also stirred up a lot of buzz.

Especially the Yang Family's subsidiary Qinghong Entertainment, which the media dug up completely.

"Immortal Gods Code," "Star Wars," the Bruce Lee series, the Mulan series…

Many classic films came from Qinghong's hand.

The media estimates the Yang Family's wealth at no less than fifty billion US dollars.

Now Apple is only about 2.5 billion US dollars.

Although the Yang Family still lags far behind the world's top families—like the several major Yingjiang families, now estimated at at least several hundred billion, or even several trillion US dollars.

These can't be traced anymore; those families are experts at hiding money.

Jobs doesn't like those families much, because they're a bunch of vampires, and his Apple was taken from him by their chicanery and plunder.

Yet the Yang Family is willing to spend a huge cost to build the backbone network.

He understands how big the benefit disputes in this are.

For this Yang Family that dares to break tradition, Jobs admires them.

Plus, Yang Fan, as a young master, actually doesn't go into finance or management; he throws himself into technology.

Now this makes Jobs look at him in a new light.

"Yang, I really didn't expect you to be the Yang Family's young master."

"You kept it from me for so long."

Yang Fan put his arm around his shoulder.

"Steve, the family is the family, I am me."

"Do we have to check household registration to make friends?"

"I recognize you as a person, not your family; aren't you me?"

Jobs would only be happy because Yang Fan is the Yang Family's child, and would have no other thoughts.

"Of course not, Yang; we're both geniuses, and geniuses have genius pride."

"Even if you came from the slums, you're still my brother; that won't change."

Yang Fan slapped him hard.

"That's just right."

"We each have our own ideals and careers."

"It's we who have built the family, not the family that built us."

"Steve, rest today; tomorrow I'll let you see my Tesla."

"And let you see my Shenwei computer."

"And there's the Youlong system I developed together with my brother Yang Qihang."

"I guarantee, Steve, you'll definitely be shocked."

Jobs, hearing Yang Fan talk about computers, became interested.

He and Yang Fan, due to a non‑compete agreement, cannot engage in personal computer research.

But industrial computers and systems are not included.

Moreover, Yang Qihang's Youlong game console has, over the past few years, shown an increasing trend toward becoming a computer.

The Youlong game console is now not just a game console; it already has basic computer functions, and many people use it as a learning machine.

Furthermore, because of the Youlong game console's powerful computing ability, Youlong games are renowned for their ultra‑high quality.

Jobs's home already has several Youlong game consoles.

Unlike Youlong, Atari now is actually somewhat weak, becoming more and more mediocre.

Jobs silently said a word of regret for his former employer.

The Yang brothers are really not acting like humans.

This might just be the difference between geniuses.

Only when comparing ourselves to them do we see that others simply have no basis for comparison.

"Yang, Yang Qihang should enter the personal computer market."

"According to his ability, it certainly won't be any worse than Apple."

Yang Fan let out a sigh.

"Steve, just making game consoles has already put a lot of pressure on Youlong."

"If it meddles in personal computers, Youlong will surely meet Apple's fate."

"We'll talk about it later; if it's just making a wedding dress for others for free, it's fine not to do it."

Jobs also fell silent.

With Yang Qing's move, Youlong will probably find it very difficult thereafter.

He still didn't know that Yang Qihang was already preparing to shift the focus.

When it reaches Gangdao as a local tyrant, Youlong's stress resistance will be incomparable.

That will be the time they step into personal computers.

Moreover, Youlong has no intention of following Microsoft's path.

It is pursuing the industrial and gaming entertainment industry route.

In terms of optimization direction, there is a big difference from Microsoft.

And it is closed‑source, so the conflict with Microsoft is not great.

"These damn conglomerates."

Jobs cursed once, then thought of the Yang Family.

He was just about to explain, but Yang Qing also spoke.

"Indeed they're damn bastards; their shadow is everywhere."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have returned to Gangdao."

"If it were in Silicon Valley, Tesla would already be number one in the world now."

Jobs looked at Yang Fan in surprise.

Yang Fan knew what he wanted to ask, and to avoid his embarrassment, he took the initiative to speak.

"I'm not the same as the Yang Family."

"And the Yang Family, when investing, doesn't interfere with the founder's management."

"The Yang Family's reputation is still pretty good."

"If you have a new project, try approaching the Yang Family and you'll know."

"Actually at Apple, our Yang Family hasn't interfered with your management either."

"Isn't that so?"

Jobs thought about it and indeed it was.

It seems the Yang Family's investments in Yingjiang retain a high degree of autonomy.

Lucas and New World Pictures, and Azure Rainbow Media in Yingjiang are similarly each acting independently.

Sometimes they even compete.

And Mark also supports him at Apple.

"It's a pity the Yang Family is still not strong enough; otherwise many entrepreneurs would cooperate with the Yang clan."

Yang Fan patted his shoulder.

"Steve, rest assured, this time I will definitely help you keep the company."

"By the way, what's the new company's name again?"

Jobs replied.

"NeXT, how about it, Yang, isn't this name quite interesting?"

Yang Fan gave a thumbs‑up.

"next, the next legend."

"Steve, I like your never‑give‑up spirit."

Jobs was moved again; indeed Yang understands me.

"Thanks, brother, the share certificate, I've already brought it over; from now on you will be the company's second largest shareholder."

Yang Fan also sincerely thanked.

"Thank you for your trust, Steve, let's create brilliance again."

Then the two hands clasped tightly together.

Full of brotherly passion.
