My Age of Investment

   Chapter 740: No Speculation

   "...This is about the situation, and Darren seems to be confident."

  As soon as he returned to the company, Meyer walked into Page's office and described all the process of meeting with Christina and Xia Jingxing today.

  Paige did not speak, and habitually turned the ergonomic chair sitting under his buttocks. He was carefully analyzing the information that Mayer brought back.

  Meyer sat opposite Page, waiting quietly.

  In fact, we can’t blame her for not telling the truth, she just wants to sit down firmly.

  She and Christina have a personal relationship, which Peppa knows.

  She came to help Xia Jingxing before, which has caused Peppa's suspicion and dissatisfaction.

  In order to prove her innocence, she can only betray Xia Jingxing and Christina.

   Anyway, Peppa will not be so stupid to confront the two.

  In this way, she pleases everyone on both sides.

   "Okay, you can go down first."

  As soon as Mayer got up, Page smiled and said, “Are you free tonight? Let’s go for a ride on the beach together. I bought a new RV.”

  Meyer could not understand the hint, smiled and said: "Go home early, Lucy is still waiting for you at home."

  Paige spread his hands, "I don't mean anything else, this is really just an ordinary drive. I miss the time I used to drive with you."

  Meyer ignored Page, smiled and got up and left. Even if she was upset in her heart, she didn't dare to show Peppa's face.

  Watching "dinner" fly away, Page was very upset and cursed in a low voice.

  At this time, the personal phone on the table rang.

  He picked it up and found that it was an unfamiliar call. If he was in a bad mood, he just hung up.

the other side.

  Xia Jingxing listened to the busy tone on the phone, cursed "Dead Pig Peppa", and then continued to call.

  He is suddenly a little uncertain, isn't it because Xiaozhu changed his phone number?

  A few years ago, Peppa invited him and the foreign girl to a party at home and gave him a personal business card. Later, the two parties fell out and he never called Peppa again.

   Peppa, who was angry, heard the phone ring again, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he answered the phone.

   "Is it Page? Me, Darren."

   "Daren, what's the matter?"

  Paige's voice was cold and deliberately alienated, because he basically expected Xia Jingxing's call.

   "I want to talk to you about a cooperation."

  "If it is the built-in software of the phone, then forget it."

  Page is not optimistic about Xia Jingxing’s mobile phone project, nor does he think this cooperation will bring any benefits to Google.

  If the other party is willing to give some reasonable compensation, he does not exclude cooperation.

  "Don't refuse in a hurry, this phone is not ordinary."

   "Oh, why is it unusual?"

  "It can be equipped with Google Maps and designate the Google search engine as the portal for mobile Internet traffic."

  Paige smiled, "Dylan, this is just the most basic sincerity, not to mention the point where cooperation is necessary."

  Xia Jingxing scratched his head. If Android's mobile service ecosystem is perfect, he doesn't want to talk to Peppa more and hang up the phone in seconds.

  Look with Yang Zhiyuan to discuss embedding in Yahoo! Mail, and now find Peppa to cooperate with embedding in Google Maps, both of which provide richer software functions for mobile phones.

  Next, I will look for Gates, and install the IE browser into a mobile version.

  In fact, the businesses of these three companies have overlapped, and they all have browsers, search engines, mailboxes and other services.

  In order not to let the family dominate, he can only choose one partner for one software.

  Android is currently miserable. Except for the development of several tools such as players, games, calendars, and hour hands, there are no other mobile services.

  If there are not enough software functions, the attractiveness of mobile phones to users will be reduced by a level.

  Currently, there is no application store developed, so I can only seek external cooperation.

  For Android, the operating system is open source, and the profit model is not only divided into the app store, but all other things fall on the app family bucket. Some necessary software for installation, such as maps, browsers, and so on.

  In the past, Google created dozens of mobile phone software around Android, known as the family bucket, the purpose is to wipe out this income.

  Xia Jingxing proposed to install Google Maps and designate Google as the only search engine on mobile phones, which is actually very good for Google.

   is only the benefit of this, and it will ultimately fall on the sales of mobile phones.

  Now it is impossible for him to guarantee Page to sell tens or hundreds of millions of mobile phones.

  Really say that, Peppa will only listen to it as a joke.

  At present, it is the eve of the advent of the mobile Internet era, and many things are still a cloud of fog and unknown.

  He can't and can't promise Peppa anything, so Peppa thinks he's taking him up, and he is doing business as a seller's market.

   is really a bit hateful!

  It's not that he doesn't have weights in his hand, he is just considering whether to play this card or not, whether he will anger Peppa.

  After thinking for a while, Xia Jingxing decided to slow down, so he said on the phone: “Paige, a mobile phone has such a large memory and can’t install much software.

  We are equipped with Google’s most important search engine. For you, you can reach more users. This is different from PC mobile phone traffic, which is an increase! "

  Paige smiled, "Daren, not to mention that mobile Internet is not yet mainstream, just say how many of your mobile phones can be sold? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?

  How much benefit Google can get from the cooperation depends entirely on the sales of your mobile phones.

  We spent manpower and material resources to develop mobile phone software, if you only sell a small amount of mobile phones, then we are not at a big loss? "

   "In order to make this mobile phone, I have invested one billion U.S. dollars, and my determination lies here. Only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed."

  Xia Jingxing's tone is very firm, and he is telling the truth. He has really invested nearly 1 billion US dollars in the mobile phone industry chain.

  Among them, the mobile phone company injected 500 million US dollars, the mobile phone industry fund injected 250 million US dollars, and the acquisition of Android cost 200 million US dollars.

  Hearing that Xia Jingxing reported a figure of 1 billion U.S. dollars, Peppa was slightly moved. Even in terms of his worth, paying such a large sum of money is not a small sum.

  It seems that this guy is really determined to make some noise in the mobile phone market.

  Can this guarantee success?

  Like Yang Zhiyuan, Page is not too optimistic that Xia Jingxing can make a good mobile phone. The market structure of this industry is not so easy to shake.

   "Daren, it's not impossible to cooperate, but you have to sell me the tubing."

  Paige didn't conceal it at all, and directly stated his conditions.

  He continued: “We won’t mention it on Facebook, and let it pass. Now that you have split the tubing out, it is not an indispensable product for you.

  I heard that the oil pipeline suffered a very serious loss. It is a financial black hole. Selling it to us will solve this trouble for you.

  You can choose the method of M&A, either stock or cash.

  The above valuation will not make you lose money, the valuation after Microsoft's investment is 6.6 billion US dollars, right, we accept it. "

  Xia Jingxing did not expect Peppa to pay attention to the tubing.

  After thinking about it for a moment, I also feel that it is normal. Okut lost to the Latin American market. Google Video and MSN Video, Yahoo Video, MySpace Video, etc. are tied for the second echelon.

   sounds like the second echelon, and it seems that there is not much difference with the first-ranked tubing, but the actual number of users is more than ten times worse.

  Acquired tubing and completely dominated the video field, but Page had a good abacus.

  In addition, it is worth mentioning that Yahoo has also launched a video service. Like last year’s acquisition of the image social network Flicker, it is also chasing market hotspots. It will do whatever it takes.

  "The tubing will develop independently in the future and will not be sold."

  For Xia Jingxing’s refusal, Peppa was not too surprised, and said lightly: "That's not a deal."

  Xia Jingxing said in a calm tone as much as possible: "We found Microsoft and Yahoo, and they all agreed to cooperate with us. If Google Maps is unwilling to cooperate, then we can only find NAVTEQ to cooperate."

   "Oh, damn, then you go find them to cooperate, that's it, goodbye!"

  Listening to the busy beep on the other end of the phone, Xia Jingxing rubbed his forehead. As expected, Peppa, the piggy was still irritated, and he hung up if he didn't agree.

  He probably also knows the reason behind this. He holds grudges, looks down on their mobile phones, and maybe he has the meaning of picking them up.

  He sighed slightly, it seems that he really can only find the backup option Naftek.

  But there is something wrong with this company.
