The more help the sooner done.

Since Yang Ge and Leng Ning came over with the team, the myriad problems on the Los Angeles side have been straightened out.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Molly, Wu Tao took several people from Leng Ning's team and went straight to Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

The company visited as scheduled, and the negotiations were held as scheduled.

It's just that the results are a little different from what I imagined, and the talks are not ideal.

Wu Tao also didn't expect that although BlackBerry has BlackBerry OS, it has not yet been applied to mobile phones.

In other words, the BlackBerry smartphone that supports push email, mobile phones, text messaging, I-fax, and web browsing has not yet arrived.

Looking at the look on the faces of the BlackBerry executives at that time, Wu Tao knew that they already had a plan.

And as a mobile phone manufacturer, I came over and proposed the licensing of BlackBerry OS, so it is strange that the result can be ideal.

BlackBerry's top management has a clear tendency to use the BlackBerry OS as a unique advantage of their smartphones and keep it in their own pockets.

Once it is given to you Yuanqi Technology, in case it is carried forward, and their own mobile phone is not made, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

So this result is destined to be a hot face and a cold ass, no play.

As a result, the expected two-day cooperation meeting schedule took only half a day and ended hastily ahead of schedule.

At the airport on the way back, everyone's morale was a little low, and it seemed that they were quite devastated.

On the contrary, Wu Tao was the first to be relieved, and looked back at the people: "Cheer me up, don't you see that this incident is a revelation from God?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Leng Ning's subordinates look confused, but even the foil Molly couldn't get him.

Wu Tao said solemnly: "Everyone imagine, where is BlackBerry?"

"Canada, ......," someone said.

"Ontario ......" someone muttered more specifically.

"Wrong!" Wu Tao denied them all: "In Waterloo City!" This name is depressing, Lotus mobile phones can't use BlackBerry's OS, which means that the sales of our Lotus mobile phones will never encounter Waterloo!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately felt relieved.

Even Molly was under Leng Ning's translation and explanation, with a hehe.

I can't imagine that this boss should be a bad joke, and he tells a set of bad jokes.

However, Wu Tao quickly turned to the topic and said: "Director Leng, after I go back, I want to mention the matter of PalmOS to the company's strategic goals." The future mobile phone era is bound to be the era of smart phones, and the precipitation of a mobile version of the OS is an indispensable process for us to fight the battle of future smart phones!"

Otherwise, the boss is the boss, not only is the words loud and substantial, but also the sound is particularly encouraging.

So Leng Ning took the lead and was the first to applaud.

made Molly confused, and bit Leng Ning's ear for a long time, only then did she understand what Wu Tao meant.

Then he smiled and asked a sharp question: "Wu, if your company succeeds in taking PalmOS as your own, will you license PalmOS for other companies or competitors?"

This question is a bit of a pot that can't be opened.

If it were someone else, he would have been thrown away without a good face.

However, Wu Tao did not, but replied generously: "Yes, of course it will! Not only will it be authorized, but it can even be free." If PalmOS is in the hands of Yuanqi Technology, we will clarify the entire system system, standardize the development platform, but make it public, invite and welcome other manufacturers to participate and develop it together!"

"Why?" Not only was Molly confused, but even Leng Ning, a subordinate of Yuanqi Technology, was inexplicable.

But only Molly dared to ask.

Since it is open source and free to use, isn't the hard price of YuanQi Technology's hard work in getting PalmOS in vain?

What's the picture?

Wu Tao did not answer directly, but brought up the old matter of BlackBerry again, "Judging from today's contact with BlackBerry executives, I dare to conclude that the future development of BlackBerry will definitely not go too far." Even if its OS and intelligence have some of their own characteristics and advantages, but their self-cherishing attitude is destined to become a niche mobile phone, not a big stream!"

“…… Then again, the same is true for PalmOS. Therefore, when PalmOS comes to our hands, only by taking the road of open source can it be the way to long-term development and can it be truly carried forward. ”

Molly asked, "But if you do this, can Jeff agree?"

That's the only question left.

But Wu Tao thinks it would be easier to convince Jeff Hawkins than to buy Palm from 3Com.

When I returned to my villa in Irvine that day, it was already evening.

The teacher was not good, Qin Xiaoxiao and Wu Yingying didn't dare to ask more, and let Wu Tao stay alone in the study for a long time.

Others thought he was in a bad mood.

In fact, Wu Tao went surfing the Internet in the study.

First of all, I took a look at Mizuki Tsinghua's BBS and found that the military training of my alma mater was still in full swing. Of course, there is a steady stream of run posts on him.

Although this person is not in the rivers and lakes, his own legends have always been circulated on the rivers and lakes.

Wu Tao used this reason to make fun of himself, but he still didn't take it to heart.

used the station letter to reply to An Rong, sent a few recent photos taken in Canada, and saw that there was no timely response, so he decisively went offline.

immediately logged in to Ding Lei's private BBS, this guy has been busy with the listing recently, and obviously has no time to maintain this private corner.

After sweeping around, there was no one, Wu Tao only quit proudly, and habitually opened the mailbox to take a look.

I didn't know if I didn't look at it, but when I looked at it, I realized that in addition to the unimportant official emails that come and go every day, there was a guy named Bill who sent an email to himself.

Isn't it called Bill Gates?

Wu Tao hurriedly opened it and saw that it was Bill Babbitt. This person is from Netscape, and as an executive, he wants to find a way ahead of time with his team of programmers.

And his mailbox was given by Yang Zhiyuan.

Although Netscape is about to be acquired, it is also risky to meet with a new owner as a senior executive.

So this Bill chose to send an email first and make some tentative contacts, which can be said to be very cautious.

In the mailbox, this Bill sent a resume of his own, and it looked good.

However, for more and more in-depth information, Wu Tao does not have the ability to discern. And even if he can discern it, I don't know if he is suitable for developing an EB website like a school intranet and a blog.

So I didn't say a word, but made a list of my simple requirements for the intranet and blog application, and asked the other party to develop a demo as the content of the interview.

It's a mule or a horse, let's pull it out and slip it!
