Chapter 585 Android, Bada (2-in-1)

The document that Wu Qiang took out was a long list, "Mr. Rubin, the people on this are all technical backbone personnel who have or are jumping from Huawei to Youyou. ”

Andy Rubin said in disbelief: "You guys are poaching from Huawei?"

Liu Yun interjected: "Mr. Rubin, this is not a corner. In the market economy, employment is a two-way choice.

When choosing employment, employees will also consider many factors, not only salary, but also the location, intensity, and environment of work. ”

Andy Rubin nodded noncommittally, it's normal to change jobs in the U.S., just like Google employees go to Microsoft.

It's just that in his subconscious, the cognition of Huaxia is still stuck in the past tense, and a unit is a lifetime.

After Liu Yun finished speaking, Wu Qiang answered: "Mr. Rubin, our leisurely treatment belongs to the first tier among Huaxia's Internet companies, especially the mobile phone company is located in an international metropolis like Shanghai, which is very attractive to outstanding talents. ”

Andy Rubin hesitated and asked, "Does this list have anything to do with what we talked about?"

Liu Yun smiled and replied: "Of course it matters, these people will all join Yoyo's mobile phone company." ”

This is Liu Yun forcing Li Zeguang, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to pull down his old face and go to Huawei to poach people.

Of course, everyone is a community of interests, and Li Zeguang also has a reasonable reason to make a move.

After a pause, he observed Andy Rubin's somewhat moved expression and continued: "Mr. Rubin, you should know Huawei's strength, there are many similarities between communication products such as mobile phones and switches. ”

"There are also channels that cover almost every corner of the Internet world, so that Android machines can get the best publicity. ”

Almost all of the seemingly tempting conditions were laid out in front of Andy Rubin to make him make a choice.

After a long time, he took a deep breath: "Mr. Liu, we have an agreement, and the contract stipulates that it will be placed there." ”

Liu Yun smiled, the other party had actually agreed, and it was up to him to see his chips, "Yoyo will bear all the liquidated damages, and we will pay 10 million US dollars per year for the next three years to support your team to improve and continue the Android system." Yoyo's mobile phone needs more support from Google in terms of software and hardware. ”

Now that Google has a limited budget for Android, Andy Rubin is in dire need of external funding.

However, Android is only a system owned by Google, not an independent subsidiary, and cannot be financed, and can only be exchanged for cooperation by sponsorship, so it has been difficult to attract enough foreign funds.

Liu Yun's conditions made the other party nod with satisfaction and said: "Since we are willing to pay liquidated damages, we can be regarded as respecting the terms of the contract and not breaching the contract." ”

After saying this, he also smiled with satisfaction.

Andy Rubin is a typical American businessman who puts interests first. As long as the chips are sufficient, there will be no hesitation to reneg on the agreement.

Of course, he didn't notice that the young man in front of him had an irrepressible look of ecstasy flashing through his eyes.

In the blind spot where Andy Rubin and Wu Qiang couldn't notice, Liu Yun quietly stretched out his fist and squeezed it hard.

He expressed his excitement with such a slightly childish gesture.

After the opening of the mobile Internet era, Yoyo will replace HTC and take the lead, which is a rare opportunity.

Andy Rubin didn't notice Liu Yun's movements, and he thought about what kind of unknown future this collaboration would bring to Android.

In the history of mankind, the duel between new technology and old technology, no matter how tortuous the process, mostly ended in the victory of new technology.

He has full confidence in the products in his hands and the market positioning, but it will be a difficult process to get these established mobile phone manufacturers in the market to accept their own systems.

Many people are waiting and seeing, only the foundationless Youyou, and the insignificant number of users of HTC, are willing to give it a go, can it succeed?

Liu Yun looked at Andy Rubin, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he thought of some past events.

A few years later, this guy saw the popularity of Android phones, and he also moved the idea of selling his own mobile phones.

But in the end, the father of Android suffered a huge Waterloo, and his mobile phone products almost reached the point of no one caring.

Andy Rubin was able to make Android a successful smartphone system, but he couldn't make his phone accessible to these Android users.

Successes and failures are always at hand.

He was silent for a few seconds, feeling that he could not cooperate and caused some unknown changes, so he spoke: "Mr. Rubin, in the history of mankind, the duel between new technology and old technology, no matter how tortuous the process, mostly ended in the victory of new technology. Sometimes, many seemingly powerful and invincible opponents, from the peak to the bottom, are often just a matter of moments. ”

Andy Rubin smiled: "I understand what Mr. Liu meant, Android represents new technology. ”

So who represents the old technology? Symbian and window phone.

The replacement of the old and new dynasties is often just a short period of time, as long as a certain opportunity is found.

The old and the young, the two foxes knew it in their hearts, but they didn't understand it thoroughly.

......

Mountain View isn't huge, and you can hardly see tall buildings here.

A street called Castro Street runs through the city and is the main and most prosperous neighborhood in the entire city, with more than 70% of the city's restaurants and commercial facilities on both sides of this street.

After coming out of Google, Liu Yun and Wu Qiang walked to a pizzeria on the street.

The two of them chose a table by the window and sat down, and after ordering, they looked at the scenery outside the window from time to time.

Wu Qiang leaned back in his chair, watched the boss keep looking out the window, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, if you live here for a long time, you will definitely get bored, there is no bustling city here, but as a place for occasional vacation, it is also a good choice." ”

Liu Yun retracted his gaze and said, "Have you been here a few times before?" ”

Wu Qiang said with a smile: "Mountain View City is the first to come, but I have been to several other small cities in California, and they are similar. ”

Liu Yun sighed lightly and said with a smile: "There is sunshine, fresh air, and exotic beauties, if I retire, this is really a very suitable choice." ”

As he spoke, through the glass of the restaurant, a graceful blonde strode by, attracting Liu Yun to take a closer look.

Wu Qiang noticed Liu Yun's eyes and quipped: "Mr. Liu, is this interested in Yanmar? This is a fierce horse, very crazy." ”

Liu Yun retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "When a man sees a beautiful opposite sex, it is an instinctive reaction to instinctively take a few more looks, which shows that my orientation is normal." ”

Wu Qiang didn't expect the boss to be so humorous, so he smiled and said: "It looks tempting, but I'm old and I can't do it anymore, if Liu is interested, you might as well try it, it's a memory of the trip to the United States." ”

Liu Yun shook his head and said, "No need, I don't want to cause trouble." ”

If he is single, he doesn't mind having a kidney trip here, but he doesn't have a heart-to-heart experience, but he is also a public figure in Huaxia, and once exposed, the impact on the company is not good.

While the two were talking, the waiters served the dishes one after another, and it was the wood-fired pizza and spiced prawns that were the signature dishes here, full of color, flavor, and flavor.

Liu Yun was eating while looking at the layout of the store.

When the two of them were dining, six or seven tables of diners came to the restaurant one after another, and the surroundings became lively, one of them was an Asian who was sitting next to Liu Yun just now.

Liu Yun judged that the person was Korean.

He couldn't help but glance at the other party, Wu Qiang saw the boss's gaze, and his first reaction was that another exotic beauty had entered the store, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be a middle-aged man who was not good-looking, a little familiar.

"Do you have any impressions?"

"Yes? I think I've seen it somewhere. ”

"I was sitting next to me during the meeting just now. ”

Wu Qiang replied: "Not only then, I think I have seen him somewhere before." ”

Liu Yun said again: "Where do you think he is from?"

"Koreans?"

"I'm thinking the same thing as you. ”

Wu Qiang thought for a while and said, "I remember, this guy should be an executive of Samsung, in charge of North American business. ”

It's not a surprise that Samsung's executives are in Mountain View today.

Liu Yun retracted his gaze, no longer paid attention to the person, and said, "I have observed, this person is very arrogant, during the meeting just now, I didn't speak, and he won't take the initiative to talk." ”

"Many Koreans, especially Asians, have a strong sense of superiority in front of Asians, not to mention that this person is also a Samsung executive," Wu said. ”

Liu Yun thought for a while, and in Wu Qiang's somewhat surprised gaze, he walked towards the Samsung executive.

From afar, he seemed to hear Liu Yun communicating with Samsung's top management in English.

The two chatted for a while, the other shook his head, and Liu Yun shook his hand politely and came back.

After the boss sat back in his seat, Wu Qiang asked with some curiosity, "Boss, what did you talk about?"

Liu Yun smiled: "I told him my identity, and said that Samsung is a big company, and I have admired it for a long time." ”

"That's all?"

"I also said that I've been keeping an eye on the news about Samsung and that they're working on their own smartphone system, BADA. ”

Wu Qiang was slightly stunned, and repeated again: "BADA?"

Liu Yun smiled: "Yes, this smart phone system is planned to be released in the middle of next year. ”

"How does it compare to Android?"

"At least I praised BADA's performance in front of the Samsung executive, which is better than Android. I hope that after the official release of BADA, Yoyo can get the right to use this software system, and the money is negotiable. ”

Wu Qiang touched his chin and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I always feel that you are a drunkard and don't mean to drink." ”

Liu Yun said indifferently: "I just want one more path and one more choice." ”

In fact, BADA is a very niche smartphone system, even if Samsung has invested a lot of money and manpower for this, but the market response has been mediocre, only circulating among Samsung fans.

So in 2012, they had already announced that they had abandoned the bada system, and they had long since stopped developing, and even the bada service would be gradually discontinued.

The real situation just now was that Liu Yun asked him: "How do you compare bada and Android." ”

The bada system is not a secret, and the middle-aged man did not show surprise when he saw Liu Yun mention it.

Then Liu Yun said again: "Hallyu is very popular in Asia, and I am also a fan of Hallyu. ”

Then gave a lot of examples, "Blue Life and Death Love", "Da Chang Jin" and so on.

At this moment, the pride peculiar to the middle-aged man slowly rose, and he felt that it was impossible for the CEO of a company to make such a joke with him, and this person was from China, which is the most popular place for the Korean Wave.

He said with some pride: "Compared with the BADA system, the Android system has many shortcomings, and I believe in the ability of Samsung's technical team." I hope that the board of directors of the company will give more support to the bada system, and not blindly rely on other people's operating systems. After all, this is my own child. ”

Then Liu Yun took the opportunity to say, will your bada system be open to other mobile phone companies. The other party said that he could not make up his mind about this matter, but would truthfully introduce it to the board of directors.

When he turned around, he smiled at the success of his plan.

In fact, Liu Yun has never been a Korean fan, he knows about the bada system because he talked about a girlfriend when he just graduated from work in his previous life. This girl happens to be a fan of Korean dramas, and she saw that the Samsung mobile phone in the Korean drama uses the bada system, and she also bought one.

At that time, Liu Yun took it and tried it casually, but after playing for a while, he just looked disgusted, this thing is really only acceptable to hardcore Korean fans.

It's so hard to use that many of the programs even cost a fee, but that's a good fit for Samsung.

Such an operating system, whether it is IOS or Android, can form a crushing trend.

At that time, he didn't understand why Samsung would insist on this broken system so infatuated for more than three years before giving up, which was simply a bottomless pit of burning money.

When he talked to Samsung's executives just now, he understood that this is the national character of the South Koreans, the inexplicable self-confidence and pride, especially in the past few years, the Korean wave has swept Asia, and this kind of thinking has been bred even more.

Liu Yun left him a business card, praised the bada system even more, and belittled Android by the way, which was to let the other party continue to maintain this inexplicable proud posture.

Since today's Samsung has not yet decided whether to choose Android, let them go all the way to the dark in the research and development of the bada system.

Today's Samsung smartphones are basically based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile system, and they dream of having their own operating system to match their status as a world-class company.

Wu Qiang definitely wouldn't believe the boss's explanation, and always felt that his smile was meaningful and ill-intentioned.

"Mr. Liu, when will it be Huaxia?"

After thinking about it, Liu Yun said, "I'm going to rent a few small offices, and I'll leave after doing this." ”

He plans to take advantage of this trip to California to give the office of Youxin branch in California.
