My Age of Investment

  Chapter 989 Android China Research Institute

  After spending two days with Christina and the child at home, Xia Jingxing started to get busy with the work at hand.

  He went to inspect Android first. Among all the industries, he is most worried about this company.

  Android seems to be thriving at the moment, but the road ahead is full of thorns and challenges.

  Lu Qi was hired by him to become the CEO of Android, and he was responsible for many important tasks such as opening up the operating system market, commercializing, and building an enterprise ecosystem.

  The opponent has a heavy burden, and he is also an airborne soldier. It takes time for the team to adapt and adapt to the new working environment.

  The tasks are arduous and time is tight, which puts higher demands on Lu Qi’s personal leadership and management wisdom.

  At present, Lu Qi has officially joined Android for more than two months. After getting up at 4 am every day, he will send work emails to Xia Jinghang on time to report on work progress.

   Judging from the situation reported by the other party, there are good and bad, not the kind of reporting the good and the bad, and the performance is very sincere.

  Xia Jingxing most of the e-mail replies are "read", "approved" and other words, and rarely give guidance. Most of the company's rights are delegated to Lu Qi, and he supports the other party's work to the greatest extent.

  At his position, he is in charge of a huge industrial empire, and the total number of employees under his hands is close to 100,000. It is impossible to manage every company and every business unit in detail.

  For the top managers of large enterprises or other organizations, the most important thing is to know and employ people.

  If the development of Android encounters Waterloo, it is that he does not know people well and has made a major mistake in his employment strategy.

   Judging from the current performance of Lu Qi, it is very good, but it cannot be judged that the other party's management will be successful, because there are still many tests and challenges ahead.

  At the Android company, after a brief inspection, Xia Jingxing called Lu Qi to the chairman's office and chatted with the other party.

   "How do you feel? Still adapt?" Xia Jingxing smiled mildly and looked concerned.

  Lu Qi smiled, "It's okay, the Android technology atmosphere is relatively strong, and it is not difficult to adapt."

  Xia Jingxing pursed his mouth and smiled. Lu Qi’s words are not exaggerated at all, because if a technology-based company wants to quickly convince the public, the easiest way is to show off the skills of one hand, and Lu Qi happens to be a technical expert.

  Two months ago, not long after taking office, Lu Qi organized an internal technology competition. The prize was ten revival mobile phones.

  Lu Qi debuted as a contestant, and easily won a revival mobile phone.

   Witnessing the whole process, the old and new employees of the company are very convinced. They also understand that the senior vice president of Yahoo is definitely not a fake name, but is promoted by hard work.

  A very simple method has allowed Lu Qi to quickly win the respect of the entire company's employees. For technology-based companies, he is afraid of outsiders commanding insiders.

   "How is Andy Rubin doing with your partner? He is not a demon, right?"

  Xia Jingxing said with a serious face: “If he doesn’t cooperate with your work, you have to tell me the truth. Now Android is a car at full speed. Anything wrong with a screw may cause a tragic car accident.”

  Hearing these words, Lu Qi's heart warmed. He knew that Xia Jingxing was not just talking, but was really clearing all obstacles for himself. Behind this was a strong trust.

  Lu Qi smiled and shook his head, “Although Andy complained a little bit that I took his place and didn't develop any personal relationships with me, he still cooperated with me very well in work.

  In addition, his personal professional ability is worthy of recognition. "

  Xia Jingxing chuckled slightly. He had an earful inside Android, and his position was not low. At the beginning, Andy messed with the secretary, which was notified by Kite 2.

  Domestic companies, he did not play this kind of trick, but his companies in the United States, he kept more hands.

  Otherwise, the industry is so huge and there are many affairs. Once a little negligence occurs, some things are not handled in time, and the consequences will be irreparable.

  He learned from Kite No. 2 that Andy was very honest, without any hindrance or negative behavior, it was just that he said it deliberately.

  Because Andy was "caught rape" twice by him, he had a handle in his hand, and he issued a lot of options to hang the other party, so he didn't dare to make a second time for a while.

  At least before the options are realized, Andy will be very honest, otherwise his bunch of sweets will run out.

  This is a weakness of Andy, which has been firmly held in his hand.

  By the time the options can be realized, Andy’s importance to Android has dropped a lot. Even if the other party wants to leave, the loss can be sustained without causing any turmoil.

   "That's good. Now Android needs to develop email, browser, and Android family bucket. We must unite internally."

Xia Jingxing said in a deep voice, "Because our next enemy is Microsoft, Google, Yahoo...

  Every opponent is a giant, and Android is just a startup company. "

  Lu Qi nodded slightly, the smile on his face was reduced a lot, and he gradually became serious.

  He knew very well that Xia Jingxing hired herself not to enjoy happiness and old age, but to lead a small sampan to attack several modern aircraft carrier formations.

  Technology, capital, talents... Android has no advantage in these aspects.

  The only advantage is the direction. Android is heading for a new world full of hope, while giants such as Microsoft and Yahoo are still spinning around in the Bermuda Triangle.

  However, Google seems to be breaking out of the Bermuda Triangle.

  "Dalun, there is one thing to tell you that Google is recruiting a large number of engineers in the field of mobile operating systems, including Android, who have received calls from headhunters."

  For this explosive big news, Xia Jingxing was very calm. Google wanted to acquire Android back then, but when the other party came with an offer, he had already included Android first.

  Little Pig Peppa even called him, wanting him to cut love, and money matters are easy to discuss, but he tactfully refused.

  Seeing that although his language was tactful, but he refused to be firm, Peppa never looked for him again.

  In the back of Google, there is no more information about the mobile operating system. After all, not everyone is Musk.

  At that time, he refused Musk to buy a stake in Tesla, and the other side established Nikola on the back foot. He has a strong execution ability and a firm will to engage in electric vehicles.

  Renaissance mobile phone was officially released this year, and Android is also open to a bunch of partners...

  Perhaps these news made Page and Google executives re-recognize and evaluate the potential of smartphone operating systems?

  Xia Jingxing guessed that this is very likely to be the case. A series of recent performances of Android has regained the interest of Google.

   "Then there is another enemy. No, we and Google are already enemies."

  Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed: “Google has been digging people from Firefox in the past two years. They want to develop a new browser. This is not a secret in the industry.”

  Lu Qi said: “Many people in the industry predict that they will fail, and they don’t know how to challenge Microsoft. If Windows and IE are not separated, no one will be able to challenge IE’s king status.”

  "Who said this? Outdated remarks, when Google's browser is online, it will not be too late to comment."

  Xia Jingxing shook his head again and again, in fact, his heart is not as calm as on the surface

  Chrome browser is not an ordinary opponent, it can be regarded as Google’s painstaking work, and even the IE browser surrendered later, and Pidianpidian came to use Chrome's browser kernel.

  However, since you have chosen to let Android develop independently, you have to carry this causality.

  As for whether you can do it with the Chrome browser, you have to do it before you know it.

  Compared with the browser, Google wants to launch a mobile operating system, that is really not to be underestimated. If the other party and the browser come together with two swords, then for Android, it will be the real disaster.

   Unlike Microsoft, Google has the capital, technology, talent, and innovative spirit.

  Once the opponent chooses the right direction, it means that Android doesn't even have the final advantage.

  Speaking of which, time itself is also an advantage, it depends on whether it can be used wisely.

  "Do you value Google very much?" Lu Qi saw through Xia Jingxing's thoughts.

   "Can you ignore it? What do you think Yahoo has been beaten into?"

  Xia Jingxing sighed, “The Peppa brothers still have two brushes. You see, they are going to launch a browser to challenge Microsoft, develop cloud computing to chase Amazon, and now they have to develop a mobile operating system and Wisdom Fruit, and we are at war.

  In addition, half-dead social services such as Blogger and Orkut have been fighting guerrilla warfare with Facebook. Now the war has burned from the United States to Brazil and India.

  In any case, Google is an ambitious and capable company to carry this ambition. "

  Although there is no such thing as FAANG in Silicon Valley at this time, Lu Qi thought about it carefully and found that Google is really like a flat-headed brother, fighting around. The larger Silicon Valley companies are its opponents.

  I don’t mention several other research projects. At least in the search engine, Google beat Yahoo. Although social networking fell behind Facebook, there are many factors. One very important one is that they did not put all their efforts into it.

   "Google poses a great potential threat to us. We should pay attention to it, but we don’t need to pay too much attention to it."

  Xia Jingxing hopes that Lu Qi can pay attention to Google, but he doesn't want to scare the other party and destroy his own ambition.

Looking at Lu Qi, Xia Jingxing continued to analyze: “Even though Google is developing a mobile operating system, it doesn’t have a year or two of development time. Don’t think about launching it smoothly.

If we can seize this wave of time difference and quickly become the leading company in the new generation of smart phone operating systems, whether it is to seize the ecological commanding heights or strengthen our own strength, it will be beneficial to our next cooperation with Google, Wisdom Fruit and other operating systems. compete. "

  Lu Qi nodded his head, "I understand, we are the weakest of these teams, and we must take advantage of this start-up to the extreme."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, that's what he meant.

  As it is a closed source system, Wisdom Fruit can actually be put aside temporarily. The main opponent is Google.

  After seeing the achievements of Android open source, it is almost inevitable for Google, which is one step behind, to choose the open source system.

  By then, it is foreseeable that the battle will be very stalemate.

  I can only occupy more territory and find more partners while the fight has not yet started.

  "Browser, email, application store and other software are developed by us, and the map is more sensitive, so it is handed over to Facebook."

  As soon as Lu Qi's voice fell, Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, "Facebook has already recruited a team to develop it. It will be launched as scheduled next year. It will not be delayed.

  However, the initial version may have a lot of problems, so you can only use it temporarily, and then slowly improve it later. "

  Lu Qi slightly nodded, the map is not comparable to other software, and the positioning accuracy and street view map can only be improved and improved a little bit, and it cannot be done overnight.

   "Oh, yes, next year I will inject a lot of money into Android, and you will go to China to open an Android China Research Institute with the money."

  "Android China Research Institute?" Lu Qi's eyes were staring, and he was very surprised, because the companies who went to China to open research institutes were all companies of the level of Microsoft, Google, and Oracle.

  To be honest, Android's size is still a bit weak.

  Xia Jingxing explained: “China is a big mobile phone manufacturing country. Last time, a large number of domestic manufacturers came to the United States for a meeting and participated in our Android Alliance.

  In the era of functional machines, everyone was ravaged by foreign manufacturers in various ways. There is no other way. The foundation is too poor and there are too many lessons to make up.

  Now that the mobile phone industry chain has gradually matured in China, the big guys are sighing, ready to overtake in the era of smart phones. "

  Lu Qi smiled, "Yes, after all these years of calling the market to change technology, it should have been a little bit effective, right?"

Xia Jingxing said: "If the world's top ten mobile phone manufacturers can squeeze into four or five Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, then the benefits of opening a research institute in China will be reflected.

  If all domestic manufacturers choose to carry the Android system, it will also be a big advantage and help for us to compete with Google and Wisdom. "

  Lu Qi smiled, "The truth is correct, but I am afraid that the domestic mobile phone manufacturers are not so fierce?"

  "Don't underestimate the hard work and wisdom of our Chinese people."

  Xia Jingxing didn’t give much explanation, because it’s only December 2007, and GDP has not surpassed Japan. Let alone foreigners do not believe how fast China will rise, even the Chinese themselves do not believe it.

  "In addition to expanding Android's business partners in China, Android China Research Institute can also build a set of family bucket software around China."

  Lu Qi's eyes lit up, and then he started to calculate his family background, "High German map, UC browser, and mailbox can be made by Hainet. Then you can develop other small software, and you will be alive!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled. He had already prepared. The tool Google uses Android to coerce other mobile phone manufacturers is GMS, Google Mobile Service, or Google Mobile Service for short.

  Chinese mobile phone manufacturers want to sell their mobile phones abroad, they must carry this family bucket, because it is impossible for foreign users to use the Gaode map for navigation, and the Baidu browser cannot search for the information they want...

  In his previous life, he once saw a piece of news that some foreign netizens posted a comment. As long as Google detects that the mobile phone device uses a Kirin chip, it will prohibit the mobile phone from installing Google applications.

  Even before, you can always install Google Maps, but after Google stops granting GMS authorization to a certain mobile phone brand, you can no longer install it.

  This big move is released, and mobile phone manufacturers have no power to parry it.

  This is also often said in the industry. All technological innovations in China stay at the application layer, not the basic layer. Even if the market value is tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars, tall buildings are built on the beach, and they will fall down.

  "Our country has always been very vigilant against the United States. The Internet is one of the few industries that can be opposed to the United States. It has its own set of ecology and standards. As long as you don’t go abroad, you can play it yourself."

  Xia Jingxing slowly said: “The Android China Research Institute has another task next, to cooperate with Fuxing Internet of Things to develop an Internet of Things operating system, which includes all kinds of smart devices such as mobile phones, home appliances, and automobiles.”

  "Who does the control of the Internet of Things system belong to?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

  Lu Qi didn't ask, he felt that his question was purely redundant.

  He can understand the family and country sentiment in the boss, and hopes to build an operating system in China that is completely independent of foreign countries.

  But this system is fine to play in China, and it is still a bit difficult to think about going to sea.

   However, it can be regarded as complete from zero to one, solving the problem of nothingness.

"Chinese mobile phone manufacturers need to be equipped with Android China’s Family Bucket in China, and they need to be equipped with Android US’s Family Bucket when going overseas. If foreign mobile phone manufacturers want to sell their mobile phones to China, they must also be equipped with Android China’s Family Bucket. This is a future I envision. development Goals."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: “Even if Android introduces external shareholders in the future, they cannot and will not easily abolish Android China Research Institute.”

   "This is true, there are benefits, and there is room for other things to change."

  Lu Qi nodded his head seriously. He felt that the boss had considered very well, and he also took into account the future protests and opposition of Americans.

  To completely decouple from the United States is undesirable and unrealistic, and it is equivalent to letting Android give up the vast overseas market;

  If there is me in you and you in me, and the situation is deeply bound, it is to kill a thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred.

What Lu Qi doesn't know is that this is the essence Xia Jingxing has learned from the sweater war. Don't look at Chuanbao's happily jumping, the capitalists on Wall Street want to collapse the old man, and the people are not living inside, and it is a scene of the last dynasty. Punishing the rabbit, the Eagle sauce is losing a lot of blood.

  Until Xia Jingxing's rebirth, the two sides had not formally negotiated a peace, and they were still fighting for blood, but it is a matter of time to negotiate a peace. It can't be cheaper than Japan and the EU, right? Not stupid.

  This is the same as doing business. Whoever shows cowardice and softness first will suffer.

  "It is also not possible for Android to enter China alone. Renaissance Industry will also go overseas. Next year I plan to set up a Renaissance America in the United States... No, this name needs to be changed."

  Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing shook his head again and again. As soon as the name came out, he was afraid that he would have to enjoy the same treatment as Pan Shitou and Mu Zhixin.

"Fuxing Industry Group will set up a US branch called the International Headquarters in Silicon Valley, which is actually an R&D center. At the same time, it will also include the North American branch of Fuxing Mobile to recruit a large number of engineers who are about to lose their jobs, especially in the software field. One of the shortcomings."

  Xia Jingxing squeezed his chin and said, “If the Chinese are willing to return to the country, they should send them back as much as possible, and they can also recruit foreigners to contribute to the construction of socialism.”

Lu Qi smiled and said: "This is a good way. Fuxing Industry is a Chinese company. If you can compare the treatment of Silicon Valley, it is still very attractive to Chinese engineers. If you want to go back to China for development, you can apply for transfer back to work in China. .

  Operated well, it can absorb a large number of outstanding Chinese technical talents from Silicon Valley to join, and then send them to China through the platform of Fuxing Industrial Group, and become a talent transfer channel.

  But, Darren, you just said that you are unemployed? What is unemployed? "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, “The stock market has been volatile recently, and maybe there will be a financial crisis, and many people in all walks of life will be unemployed.”

  Lu Qi didn't know much about finance, so he nodded slightly without asking much.

  Xia Jingxing thought in his mind that there is still a big gap between China and Silicon Valley at this time, not only in technology, but also in salary and so on.

   Aside from some people, generally speaking, international students like to work in the United States for a few years after graduation and then return to China. Turtles with work experience in large factories are obviously more popular than those who have just graduated.

   Domestic giants such as Ali and Penguin sent headhunters to Silicon Valley to find people. They also generally dig senior Chinese engineers and middle-level managers from these big factories. There are too few senior executives and it is difficult to dig.

  Fuxing Industry Group has set up a larger and more famous international headquarters in Silicon Valley. There is a steady stream of Chinese engineers joining in, and then a steady stream of them are sent back to the country.

  In addition to internal selection of talents, it can also avoid digging people around like a headless fly like Ari. It’s hard to say whether it is good or not.

  In addition, a good HR department must be used to collect, transport, collect, and transport talents.

  Lu Qi suggested: “Like engineers and scientists in the field of artificial intelligence, it is much easier to recruit one in the United States than in China. You can consider putting part of the artificial intelligence research work in the United States branch."

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "Okay, I won't say more about this, and I will come up with a detailed plan next year."
