Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, Xuan Nguyen said that he knew about this American billionaire through books and newspapers, so he admired him very much. "When I heard from my teacher that Apple CEO Tim Cook would visit the school this morning (April 16), I asked the principal for permission to talk to him, and unexpectedly she agreed. The reason I wanted to meet him was because Apple has launched a series of products that are ahead of their time. Along with that, I expressed my interest in the latest product that Apple just launched that I really like, the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality glasses, which puts users in two states of reality and virtuality," Xuan Nguyen recalled.

During the meeting, the fourth-grade student questioned the Apple CEO in English: "Why is Apple's Vision Pro virtual reality glasses, which were just released last year, so expensive?" He answered the student: "It's expensive because this is a technological product ahead of its time." "He is a very approachable person but still exudes a serious look. At first, I was a bit nervous because I didn't know what he was like, but when I saw a billionaire wearing a T-shirt and sneakers in front of me, I felt very close. Last year, Apple launched the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality glasses. During the product introduction, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that this is a new device that enhances reality by seamlessly combining the real world with the digital world...
I will always remember the moment I ran down the hallway to meet him. He greeted me with a smile and we chatted for a long time. That moment was very short but really happy and nervous, because this was the first time I was lucky enough to question a world-famous billionaire," the little student said. Sharing about his future dream, Xuan Nguyen said he loves technology and his dream is to study abroad in the US. He wants to be like Mr. Tim, to be able to create new technologies and from that new technology, he can create even newer ones. According to Ms. Khuat Thi Thanh Nhan, Principal of Hanoi Star Inter-level School, Nguyen is a special boy, quite talkative and passionate about technology. So when he wanted to question Mr. Tim Cook, she immediately agreed. The school principal added that Xuan Nguyen always asks questions and answers in a roundabout way. This student has a special ability in technology. Although he is in grade 4, he is studying computer science applying the Pascal programming language, equivalent to the 7th grade program and mainly studies online with teachers about this programming language.
