My Age of Investment

  Chapter 945 Solicitation

  A black Tesla Roadster drove slowly into the Android office park, and then stopped in the open-air parking lot in front of the building, and out of the car came out a thin middle-aged Chinese man wearing glasses and looking gentle.

After getting off the bus, he looked at the surrounding environment. The park is not big, with only a few three or four-story buildings, but the planted flowers and trees embellish the environment very fresh, and there are some young people sitting and drinking on the grass. Coffee, chat...

  Xia Jingxing walked out of the company building quickly, looked left and right, and found Lu Qi who was looking around. He walked over very happily and shouted, "Mr. Lu."

  Lu Qi turned his head and saw Xia Jingxing walking towards him with a smile on his face.

  "Dalun, you can call me Qi or Lu Qi!"

  Lu Qi hurriedly greeted him and shook hands with Xia Jingxing.

  Seeing this scene, the Android engineers chatting on the grass stopped chatting, curiously watching Lu Qi, who is this person? The boss also went downstairs to greet him personally.

  Xia Jingxing noticed the Tesla behind Lu Qi, pointed and asked, "Lao Lu, is that car yours?"

   "Yes!" Lu Qi nodded, "This car is very interesting. If it weren't for fear of putting it back, I would take it apart and take a look."

  Xia Jingxing laughed. That's how technology is involved, and she has great curiosity about new things in science and technology.

  "Don't take it apart, I will take you to visit Tesla another day." Xia Jingxing paused, "The new car is very interesting!"

  Lu Qi raised his brows, he shouldn't have asked more, but he still couldn't help asking: "Has the ModelS prototype been built?"

   "It's almost done. If you are interested, go for a test drive and give our manufacturer suggestions."

  Lu Qi nodded, and exclaimed: “Tesla is doing an amazing business, Darren, you are also a true technology entrepreneur, and Jerry admires and respects you very much.”

  Xia Jingxing smiled and invited Lu Qi to go upstairs together and came to his office.

Liu Xiaoduo brought two cups of coffee. When she left, she couldn't help but look at Lu Qi more. She was no longer a fledgling industry novice. She knew who this was. She was the ceiling of a Chinese executive in Silicon Valley. , The real technology master.

  Last month, Lu Qi's departure from the position of executive vice president of Yahoo caused a heated discussion among Chinese code farmers in Silicon Valley, and she had also heard about it.

  She gave her boss a glance, guessing that the boss must be trying to solicit others.

  Xia Jingxing took a sip of coffee and said, “Lao Lu, you are also free now. Have you decided where to go next stop?”

  Lu Qi smiled. The title of "Lao Lu" is a bit awkward, but Xia always likes to call it this way, and it is hard for him to correct it.

   "I haven't thought about it yet, I plan to take a rest first."

  Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to throw out an olive branch immediately, planning to discuss life ideals with Lu Qi first.

  "You have joined Yahoo in 1998. It has been almost ten years since you joined Yahoo! This year, you have witnessed the rise of Yahoo and...frustration. Do you have any insights?"

  Lu Qi said lightly: “Yahoo is old, even if Jerry returns to the company to take over, it will not be able to restore this decline.

  I actually have feelings for Yahoo. Watching it step by step to this day, I still feel a little disappointed.

  The reason why I chose to leave was also because of my limited ability to save Yahoo. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “Yahoo still has a market value of tens of billions of dollars, do you think it’s not enough?”

  Lu Qiming glanced at Xia Jingxing, “The giant company stopped its growth rate and hurriedly launched this project or that project like a headless fly. What does this mean?”

  Lu Qi didn't go any further, leaving the last trace of face to his old club.

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, saying that Yahoo is like a headless fly is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

   Yahoo’s portal business is gradually declining, and the search engine market share is eroded by Google step by step. Yahoo urgently needs to find new business growth points, testing the waters of social, video...none of them splashed too much.

  "What do you think of the development of Google and Facebook?" Xia Jingxing asked.

  Lu Qi said sternly: "Each track is occupied, and the rise is unstoppable, just like Yahoo 10 years ago."

  "What about Android?" Xia Jingxing asked again.

  Lu Qi replied: “It’s hard to say that although Android has opened the curtain of the new era of mobile phones, it is not necessarily the final winner.”

  "Do you think the traditional mobile operating system forces will launch a counterattack?"

  Lu Qi gently shook his head, "After the Symbian system realized that the market was slow to respond, sooner or later it would suffer a big loss. But Microsoft is different. The operating system is their own place.

  Currently, Microsoft hasn’t made any big moves, but I guess that Android’s recent moves must have caught their attention. "

   "Yes, Microsoft is always a giant that cannot be bypassed." Xia Jing's jargon changed, "But how are you sure that Microsoft is not the next Yahoo?"

  Lu Qi smiled, listening to this tone, Android is better than Google. Want ants to shake elephants?

   "I admit that Android has many innovations. The recently formed Open Mobile Alliance is a coup, but as long as Android threatens Microsoft's position, it will definitely cause a severe blow from Microsoft."

  Lu Qi sighed, “As far as I know, the basic application services of Android still use external cooperation methods? For example, Internet Explorer.

  In the short term, the problem of insufficient system ecology has been solved, but in the long run, these things cannot be faked by others, especially if the “person” is still a competitor. "

  Xia Jingxing feels that Lu Qi still has two brushes, and he can see the biggest problem, or weakness, of Android at a glance.

  "How do you think we should solve this problem?"

  Lu Qi replied simply and neatly: “In self-study, only by filling in this short board, Android can confidently and boldly compete with all kinds of opponents without worrying about getting paid.”

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, "Good idea!"

  Lu Qi smiled slightly, Xia Jingxing, a well-known Silicon Valley tycoon, summoned him, a resigned worker. He didn't believe the other party just to ask questions.

  However, Xia Jingxing didn't take the lead in making it clear, and he was too embarrassed to recommend himself with a shy face.

   "Android will have major plans next to make up for the shortcomings you mentioned."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "How about? Are you interested in being the CEO of Android?"

  Lu Qi started to ponder. Android is currently a small company. Although the recent momentum is not small, it is still far behind Yahoo, which has a market value of tens of billions of dollars.

   But then again, Xia Jingxing is willing to invite himself as CEO, which shows that the other party values ​​and trusts him.

  Seeing Lu Qi's silence, Xia Jingxing continued: "Although Android is currently a small company, there is a golden avenue in front of it.

  Microsoft dominates the PC, and the scenery is boundless. If Android can dominate the mobile phone field, what is its future? "

  "As far as I know, Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, is currently the CEO of this company, right?"
