In fact, it is not surprising that Yang Zhiyuan, a veteran Internet geek, came to learn from Wu Tao.

After all, with the recovery of the NASDAQ, the most powerful development momentum of the Internet industry is the two Internet social networking sites under Wu Tao's name.

In addition, Google, as a rising star of the search engine, is also developing rapidly.

But insiders have heard that Google's original shares also have a share of Apocalypse Investment, and it is said that the share is not small.

It is conceivable that when Google goes public, Apocalypse Investment may be the biggest winner except for the founder.

This is especially unacceptable.

In California, the schedule is trivial and varied, but Wu Tao is most concerned about only two things.

One of them is the visit and research of chip companies such as Intel, AMD and Infineon, and they are thinking of being able to connect with the domestic semiconductor industry.

It's just that these chip companies are the heads of the global semiconductor industry, and they have always been noble and cold.

Even Wu Tao went to visit with such an identity, and even brought tens of millions of dollars to set up the project, and people's attitude was a little ignorant.

In this regard, Wu Tao did not force it.

Because there is no way, since you want to learn from others, you have to lower your posture and stabilize your mentality.

However, this week's one-on-one visits did not have any obvious results.

On the other hand, there is the business of Palm.

Under the impetus of Wu Tao, Palm has launched a lightweight operating system that supports multi-threading, and because of free promotion, it currently has a market share of more than 70% in the mobile phone industry.

In terms of the market share of handheld terminal equipment, it is as high as more than 99%!

The rest of the market is dominated by an OS called Symbian, known as Saipan in Chinese.

Of course, BlackBerry OS on the market, as well as phones without an operating system, still occupy a small share.

However, with the blowout of the mobile phone industry, more and more multinational companies and groups have invested in this area, and everyone understands that smart phones with operating systems are the direction of future development.

For this reason, Wu Tao paid attention to the operating system of Symbian for the first time.

I have the impression that for the Nokia E71 that applied this operating system in the previous life, the experience is still very good.

As a result, I didn't pay attention to it, but I found out that this Symbian system was not an operating system made by Nokia itself.

It was created by an American-funded company, Symbian, which was jointly funded by Motorola and Nokia and founded by the founder of Symbian.

I really didn't expect that Motorola and Nokia have already joined forces.

As for the mobile phone products launched by the two companies recently, they have begun to use the Symbian system, Wu Tao did not notice.

It wasn't until he sent someone to buy new mobile phone experiences from Motorola and Nokia that he noticed that the current Symbian system and the maturity of the E71 period are incomparable.

There are even some suspicions of catching ducks on the shelves.

In this way, the superiority of Palm OS is even more prominent.

Even so, Wu Tao is not completely sure about the prospects and future of Palm OS.

After all, there is not only the emergence of Android, a potential opponent, but also the existence of iOS, which makes people feel pressured when they think about it.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao couldn't help but hope that the guy named Sam could move quickly, and strive to make a capacitive screen that supports multi-touch as soon as possible.

When the time comes, take advantage of the fact that Android and iOS have not yet appeared, and start with the Palm app.

If it does, then it's best, and even if it doesn't, it's good to try, and it's not too late to switch to the Android camp when the time comes.

Thinking like this, Wu Tao sat in the study of Irvine Villa and wrote down several important new features by the way.

For example, rich pixel features, operation support features, etc., were sent to Jeff Hawkins, the head of Palm, and he put it on the R&D agenda.

After all this, Wu Tao stepped downstairs and returned to the backyard to breathe in the fresh air.

The weather in California has just snowed. It's just not big, and it is all over the mountains, and it doesn't leave any traces. On the grass in this backyard, in some corners where the sun does not shine, there are patches of snow white, revealing a chill.

After moving left and right for a while, I suddenly heard a noise next door.

Wu Tao looked back and saw Molly wearing a black leather coat, standing in the courtyard, greeting him with a bright face.

"Hi, Wu, look at your expression, unexpectedly, with longing. Are you missing me? Oh my God!"

Wu Tao was speechless for a while.

The joy of reunion was instantly ruined by her incomprehensible words.

"Why are you back??," Wu Tao asked rhetorically.

Molly walked around the backyard and walked into Wu Tao's courtyard and said, "Thanks to you Chinese people, the Spring Festival is approaching, and a lot of business is not discussed." It seems that the Chinese New Year has become the biggest theme during this time. ”

Wu Tao spread his hands and said, "What's so strange about this, isn't it the same reason to spend Christmas with you?"

Molly was noncommittal, then changed the conversation and asked, "I heard that your inspection of chip semiconductor companies did not go well?"

"Not really. Wu Tao felt a little cold, and began to walk towards the villa, saying as he walked: "It's just that the harvest is not big." ”

Unexpectedly, Molly chuckled and said, "I have news here, you may be interested." ”

"Oh?" Wu Tao walked to the bar, started the coffee machine, made two cups of coffee, handed one to the other party and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Molly raised her coffee cup, took a sip of her pastel red lips and said, "I heard that AMD has not had a good time recently, and I am looking for investment." ”

Wu Tao was stunned, this is indeed interesting news.

"Of course, AMD's performance, anyone with a discerning eye can see, is not Intel's opponent at all. So there aren't many people who are willing to invest. Molly said this, and her tone changed: "Even so, AMD will not fall." Not to mention, in order to avoid antitrust troubles, Intel alone will not let AMD fall easily. ”

Wu Tao made up his mind and said, "I think I can give it a try." ”

Just then, the cordless phone next to the bar rang.

When I heard it, it was a report call from Wu Yingying, and the content of the report was the news that AMD was in urgent need of investment.

Although Molly's news channel is a little faster, fortunately, the channel of Apocalypse Investment in California is not much worse.

So Wu Tao immediately gave Wu Yingying an order to continue to follow up on the phone.

Watching Wu Tao finish giving orders and put down the phone, Molly held her chin, her eyes were so engrossed that she forgot to drink the coffee at hand.

It wasn't until the phone hung up that Molly came back to her senses and said: "If you really take a stake in AMD, and AMD's chip foundry is all done by TSMC, you are really a mess." ”

Wu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed nonchalantly and said: "If that's the case, it's not me who should be worried, but Zhang Zhongmou!"
