My Age of Investment

   Chapter 927 Slap and Give a Sweet Date

  “Wisdom Fruit has its own exclusive system and its own characteristics, while Fuxing mobile phones and other manufacturers are equipped with Android, and suddenly become mediocre. What do we use to maintain the status of high-end phones?”

  Zhou Guangping muttered to the side, feeling very unhappy in his heart, President Xia is trying to get a rival!

   Seeing Xia Jingxing's gaze shifted, Huang Jiangji hurriedly pulled the big mouth beside him.

However, Zhou Guangping, as if he hadn't heard of it, asked with his neck: "Mr. Xia, Fuxing mobile phones are equipped with Android, and other mobile phones are also equipped with Android. If some manufacturers' products are priced very low, wouldn't it be a downgrade of the style of Android? "

  Xia Jingxing did not blame Zhou Guangping this time, because the other party asked for an idea.

   "Then you can only think of ways outside of the system for Fuxing mobile phones. Besides, Android provides the source code, so Fuxing mobile phones can be used for further development."

   Zhou Guangping was not very satisfied with Xia Jingxing’s answer, and sighed: “Hey, it’s difficult! Maybe you will have to be overtaken by Wisdom Fruit for a while! Waiting to be left behind and wanting to catch up again requires a great price.”

  Lin Bing took a stern look at Zhou Guangping, and began to get muddled again. Mr. Xia has already said this. Is there any room for you to bargain?

  A group of Android executives, including Andy Rubin, heard Zhou Guangping’s complaints, but they all pretended not to hear the same and did not say anything. Opening up Android and allowing more mobile phone manufacturers to join the Android camp naturally suits them.

  Although this will affect the interests of Fuxing mobile phones, this matter should not give them a headache.

  Xia Jingxing did not have a headache, because he had a headache a long time ago, and even performed deductions. To build a closed-source system, he has to follow the old path of wisdom and fruit. This takes time and even a certain amount of luck.

And now that the era of smart phones has come, there is no time for them to overthrow and rebuild. The market structure of mobile operating systems will probably be settled in the next three to four years. If Android does not take it, other manufacturers will take it. Maybe it will be revived. The mobile phone has to use another company's operating system. Where is Android? It has not formed a sufficient developer ecology and is dying in decline.

  The lessons from the failure of Saipan in previous lives are worth learning!

Part of the reason is that there are barriers to developing software on the Symbian system, and part of the reason is that Symbian takes too much care of its own son Nokia, so former partners Samsung and Motorola have turned to each other. Later, Symbian saw the situation not good and reopened, but it was too late. , Powerless!

  Microsoft and BlackBerry are also a little bit cocky at this time, and they are not willing to open up.

   Therefore, if Android wants to successfully rise, open source is an inevitable choice!

  Xia Jingxing looked around the people and said, “If you have no objections, this matter will be settled like this.”

Lin Bing, Zhou Guangping, Huang Jiangji, Andy and others did not say anything.

   "Okay, that's it!"

  Xia Jingxing made a final decision, then looked at Andy and said: “Arrange the newly formed marketing department to contact major mobile phone manufacturers, chip manufacturers, and mobile operators, and publish hero posts. Let’s sit down and discuss major issues together.”

  Andy smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it when I get down."

After the meeting ended, Lin Bing, Zhou Guangping and Huang Jiangji left, and Xia Jingxing stayed and talked with Andy Rubin alone.

   "Andy, how is the Android family bucket made?"

   "We have recruited a team to develop a variety of built-in applications, including browsers and app stores, but I just don’t know if we want to turn our faces with Microsoft."

When    spoke, Andy took a careful look at Xia Jingxing, but he couldn't see anything from the latter's face.

  Xia Jingxing did not speak, he was thinking about the problem seriously.

  Android is open source, no licensing fees from mobile phone manufacturers, what to eat?

  Eat app store paid app share;

  There are also family buckets, which are browsers, maps, mailboxes and other software that collect traffic, and earn income through advertising.

  The first item, Android must do its part and must be won.

  The second item is still open for discussion.

  Mentioning this, the shortcomings of Android's short development time and lack of background have been exposed.

  Wisdom Fruit has Safari browser, and it has been launched on computer products for some time. The software performance is relatively reliable and guaranteed.

  Map, Wisdom Fruit currently uses Google Maps, and it will definitely establish itself in the future.

  Android is a bit miserable. Maps and browsers all use other homes.

  Maps can be slowed down first, but browsers are large traffic users, mobile Internet large-scale portals, and most of the advertising revenue falls on this.

  Currently, Android is equipped with Microsoft's IE browser. If you want to replace it with your own product, you can only use the next mobile phone.

  And doing this is equivalent to tearing up the face with Microsoft.

  In addition to noting that Microsoft may target Android, the "friendship" between him and Gates will also be affected.

  It is not easy for him to establish a foothold in the United States. He also offended his old friend Gates. The hidden dangers are not small.

  All these problems have caused him a headache now.

do not care!

  Xia Jingxing quickly made a decision in his heart, and said viciously: “The next revival phone must go to our own browser, and then gradually increase our own built-in applications.

  There are so many engineers in Android who eat horses and chews. We don’t make any money, so what do we keep? "

  Andy Rubin smiled, is this going to completely turn his face with Microsoft? Not only did he not feel worried, he was faintly excited.

  Google, Wisdom Fruit and other big companies have done it again, what about adding Microsoft.

  Android wants to reign supreme in the field of mobile operating systems, it is impossible not to have a nasty relationship with Microsoft, which dominates the PC operating system, after all, the benefits are moving!

  Xia Jingxing saw Andy's eagerness to try, and he sighed slightly. The other party can only consider the interests of Android, but he is different, he needs to stand at a higher position to see the problem.

  "I think the funds in the company's account are starting to be nervous again?"

Andy nodded and said with a little embarrassment: "The 100 million US dollars in the second round of capital injection have been used for research and development, especially the built-in applications, which require a lot of manpower, and now they have begun to build a marketing team, so the expenditure is relatively large. .

  But don’t worry, Darren, although Android has not yet generated revenue, as long as we occupy a certain market share in the field of mobile operating systems, profits will roll in. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly. Of course, he understood that Android is not the harvest time yet. It can only be said that the planting is over, and the next step is to start fertilizing and watering.

  But he is not the kind of short-sighted and eager person. If the profit is late, he will be late.

   "Okay, after a while, I will inject capital into Android for another round. The profit is not anxious, the market share should be the first."

  Andy smiles, he likes Darren's sharp energy, he makes money if he doesn't agree with him, and never chirps.

  Xia Jingxing suddenly looked at Andy with a non-smiling smile, and asked, "I heard you talked about a girlfriend in the company recently?"

   Hearing this, Andy Rubin, who was still grinning, gathered a smile on his face.

  But after a while he regained his smile, and spread out his hands as if nothing had happened, "Daren, don’t be kidding, I’m already married, what girlfriend are you talking about?"

  Xia Jingxing didn't answer, she just looked at Andy straightforwardly, seeing the latter with straight hair, and gradually her face became a little flustered.

   "Daren, have you heard of something?" Andy asked tentatively.

  Xia Jingxing leaned forward and approached Andy and said: "Man, I don't care about your personal feelings, but what scandal happened in the company that made you smellier than Old Joe, then I can't keep you!"

   Andy Rubin’s bright head quickly burst into sweat.

  He heard the warning in Xia Jing’s jargon, and he felt a little nervous and worried for a while.

  Although Xia Jingxing is not named as a tyrant in Silicon Valley, many people still know about the killing of the founder of Tesla, including him.

  He was quite sure that the young rich man in front of him was definitely not a soft-hearted person.

  Android's development prospects have been fully revealed, Andy Rubin does not want to leave.

  In addition to wanting to show off his ambitions for many years, Xia Jingxing also promised to give him and the backbone of the research and development 10% options. At present, some of these options have been granted. He does not want to give up the opportunity to get rich at his fingertips.

  "Daren~"

   Andy opened his mouth. Just as he wanted to defend himself, he was roughly interrupted by Xia Jingxing: "Okay, I'll rest for a while, so go ahead!"

  After taking a look at Xia Jingxing, Andy lowered his head with a guilty conscience, and left with a sense of anxiety.

When Andy left, Xia Jingxing sat alone in the office, and began to recall the message passed to him by the kite 2 installed inside Android a few days ago: Andy Rubin went to the hotel many times with his subordinates to open rooms. , And also raised a few mistresses.

  Silicon Valley, these guys play more than a flower.

  The previous life, Andy Rubin, was killed by Google because of the sexual harassment scandal. He was later brought to court by his ex-wife. It was revealed that he had several mistresses, and he also partnered with one of them in prostitution/prostitution.

  Of course, this guy is definitely not short of money. The explanation given by the court’s decrypted documents is: Andy Rubin wants to watch educational films up close...

  Xia Jingxing also knows that Silicon Valley executives and bigwigs have too many **** things that they can’t manage, and he doesn’t want to.

  But he has a bottom line, these peachy news cannot happen in the company.

  Now is the critical period of Android's rise. He does not want Andy Rubin to follow in the footsteps of Old Joe.

  Moreover, if this kind of thing is caught by a competitor, it will inevitably be used to make a fuss and smear Android.

   Fortunately, he had deployed his hands on Android very early, so that he could detect Andy Rubin’s cross-border behavior early.

  This is also the experience drawn from Tesla, Thousand Oaks and many other companies. Having double eyes to stare at oneself can often get unexpected happiness.

  He has made up his mind in his heart. After a while, he will send a new CEO to take office and let Andy Rubin devote himself to research and development. As the donkey of the production team, he should not have such excess energy.

  Of course, a slap and a sweet date. Arranging a round of Android financing may be good, reflecting the company’s valuation and allowing Andy Rubin to see the value of the options in his hand.

  The target of financing, he plans to find waterfall to invest and give Gates a sweet date.
