A person with an extremely strong belief in entrepreneurship in his heart will never be interested in any form of part-time job, Li Mu has seen many such people, they may not all have strong ability, but they all have strong beliefs, and they belong to the type of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

Li Mu doesn't know Andy Rubin's character, but he knows that Andy Rubin's entrepreneurial beliefs are not strong, otherwise he would not have sold Android, which was founded less than two years ago, to Google in his previous life.

The pig was sold in a hurry before it grew strong, and there were only two possibilities, either he didn't want to raise it, or he couldn't afford it, no matter which one Andy Rubin was, it proved that his entrepreneurial belief was not strong.

Since the belief is not strong enough, there is naturally the possibility of wavering.

Andy Rubin faced Li Mu's personal invitation, although he seemed to be silent on the surface, he was already excited to the extreme.

In any case, for Andy Rubin, being able to get Li Mu's personal invitation to join Makino Technology has made a big leap forward in his position in Silicon Valley in an instant.

Isn't it enough to brag about the world's richest man and the founder of a top Internet company who personally invited him to join his company? At least for another half a lifetime.

Li Mu's invitation, for Andy Rubin, is like a depressed actor in China, who suddenly received a personal invitation from Spielberg or James Cameron, hoping that he can play an important role in his movie, as soon as Spielberg speaks, the actor's value will skyrocket in an instant.

Andy Rubin was excited at the same time, and his deep entrepreneurial ideas began to change dramatically under the influence of Li Mu.

The thought that he might not be a CEO or manage a company shook Andy Rubin's will.

At this time, Li Mu, who was as cunning as a fox, began to pour poisonous chicken soup into him again, and sighed: " Andy, entrepreneurship is not easy, and there are too few successful people, for many entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship is like a big gamble, the bet is not only all their belongings, but even their own future, some people can make millions of dollars a year casually, but they have to give up this opportunity to start a business, and finally the business failed, not only millions of dollars a year of income wasted, but also burned millions of dollars of belongings in vain, and finally went to find a job, but found that their worth in the eyes of the boss, but because of the experience of entrepreneurial failure and greatly discounted, you say, this is not worth the loss？”

Andy Rubin involuntarily nodded slightly.

Li Mu said: "Therefore, I suggest that entrepreneurs, or those who are preparing to start a business, ask themselves a few questions before starting a business:

Is my project really OK? Am I really sticking to starting a business? If I start a business, how much savings can I put into it? How do I set my stop-loss line? Do I lose all my cash savings and then give up, or do I lose all my cash savings and then lose all my real estate? Or after I lose all my assets, I owe several times the amount of my assets? What if I end up in business failure? What if I have nothing? What if I have nothing? What if I have nothing and are laughed at by the people around me? What if I don't have a day to roll over again?"

Li Mu's series of problems, like countless cannonballs, constantly bombarded Andy Rubin's psychological defense, one by one exploded his psychological wall, and they were also like the powerful aquatic plants in the water, weaving together into a water net with huge resistance, one after another constantly wrapped around the propeller of Andy Rubin's boat, constantly slowing it down, constantly reducing its power, until at a certain moment, the propeller could no longer rotate.

Suddenly, at such a moment, Andy Rubin's heart suddenly brightened up!

He asked himself a question in his heart: Why should I worry about this? As long as I accept Li Mu's invitation, I will become a top talent in Silicon Valley, and at the same time, I can get the top salary in Silicon Valley, and I am doing a top thing in a top company that has the potential to achieve the top, such a good opportunity is in front of me, why don't I agree to it, why do I have to worry about those illusory things?!

Thinking of this, Andy Rubin said to Li Mu without hesitation: "Mr. Li, I am willing to accept your invitation to join Makino Technology!"

Li Mu looked at Andy Rubin, who was almost bald, and a little evil smile crossed the corner of his mouth, in front of him, Andy Rubin was like a soldier who was not determined in wartime, and he always had a beautiful vision of throwing his head and spilling blood in his heart, but in the face of sugar-coated shells, he lost his position.

Then, Li Mu stretched out his hand to Andy Rubin, smiled slightly, and said, "Welcome to Makino Technology." ”

Andy Rubin is now full of enthusiasm to work hard and prove himself in Makino Technology, so he immediately asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, when will I join the company?"

Li Mu smiled: "If you want, I can arrange someone to onboard you now." ”

Andy Rubin asked, "And what is my job title?"

Li Mu said: "He claims to be the deputy general manager and technical director of the Mango business department, responsible for the development of Mango's software and hardware technology. ”

After that, Li Mu added: " This is just an external statement, in fact, what you have to do is to secretly set up a mobile operating system division, responsible for the research and development of the first mobile operating system of Makino Technology, this operating system is temporarily named MOS, the full name is Mango-Operating-System, for MOS, you have to use the Linux architecture in technology, and at the same time completely design and develop with a new mobile product thinking, and most importantly, you must abandon Palm and Symbian, The so-called mobile operating system foundation of indos-mobile, they are not the industry benchmark, we are the future!"

Li Mu's words completely entered Andy Rubin's heart, Andy Rubin originally wanted to make a subversive mobile operating system, and what he wanted was to adopt Linux architecture, these key points coincided with Li Mu.

This also made Andy Rubin afraid and happy, because if he really started a business, with Li Mu, he might be more difficult to succeed, fortunately because Li Mu became his own boss, and he completely gave up starting a business.

……

There is still a battle within Apple.

Originally, it was a battle between the stop-loss faction and the counter-offensive faction.

But now, the stop-loss faction is in flux, and there is a huge split within the counter-offensive faction, and the two sides of the split are now arguing more and more.

All these contradictions revolve around "whether to develop a new operating system for the next generation of iPod", and while the two sides are deadlocked, the stop-loss faction has received a huge blow in communicating with Microsoft about the acquisition.

Microsoft has apparently investigated and analyzed Apple's current situation in more detail, and has reconsidered the entire logic of its own acquisition of Apple.

First of all, they feel that the probability of Apple depleting itself is very high, because the iPod business has failed, Apple has not only lost a cash flow business line, but is also about to take on huge debts and losses, which will continue to drag Apple down and die, about this, the avalanche of stock prices is the best proof;

Second, they are also starting to ask themselves, is it really necessary for Microsoft to buy Apple?

The reason for the acquisition of Apple is that it hopes to never be sanctioned by the anti-monopoly law again, but this requires Microsoft to use a very, very careful way to complete the actual acquisition of Apple through overseas funds and shell companies, which is very troublesome and risky.

Rather than this, it is better to let Apple fend for itself, if it dies and leads to Microsoft's passive dominance of the martial arts, then Microsoft will no longer be threatened by the "anti-monopoly law".

No matter how bad it is, you can also have a full shelf with Apple first, and wait for Apple's market value to decrease a little more, and it is not too late to start when the desire to cash out and stop loss is stronger, at least you can spend a lot of money.

So Microsoft's attitude has changed a lot, before it has not been willing to carry the iPod business this drag bottle, now it is a little uninterested in the acquisition of MacOS and the whole computer, just when the stop-loss faction continues to ask Microsoft to pack and take away the iPod, Microsoft's negotiator suddenly said that Microsoft to MacOS and the whole computer acquisition offer cut by 25%, as for the reason, Microsoft only said that it was re-evaluated.

At this time, the face of the stop-loss faction was greatly humiliated, and it also touched the bottom line in their hearts.

In everything, everyone has their own bottom line, before the bottom line is not touched, they have their own persistence and beliefs, but once the bottom line is touched, they will immediately make a huge change, for example, for many couples, cheating is the bottom line of emotional survival between them, once one party cheats, no matter how much the other party loves each other, they will immediately make the decision to leave, and the same is true for the stop-loss faction.

Microsoft's humiliation made the stop-loss faction immediately turn into a counteroffensive after the bottom line was touched.

The drama has emerged, and the contradictions within Apple, from the contradiction of surrender or resistance, to the contradiction of how to resist.

After a night of heated debate, Tim Cook still failed to get the vast majority of people to accept the development of an operating system for the iPod.

The meeting lasted until half past seven the next morning, and everyone was arguing with red faces and dry mouths, but still no one side could achieve an absolute advantage.

In the short term, the short-term effect is slow, the cost is high, and the advantage is large, so the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and no one will let anyone half a point.

In desperation, Tim Cook called Jobs, who had been recuperating at home for a few days, to the company.

Jobs was reluctant to show up, but because it was a matter of life and death for Apple, he finally decided to come to the conference to support Tim Cook's decision, after all, for Jobs, this is also something he will push for in the dark.

Jobs' strong support changed the status quo of internal stalemate, and gradually, short-term supporters who opposed the long-term began to be more and more incited by Jobs, and began to decide to support Tim Cook's long-term battle plan.

Subsequently, in a poll that began at 9 o'clock sharp, the policy of developing an operating system and upgrading the iPod received 77% of the votes.

Tim Cook proudly announced: We want to build a new operating system for the iPod based on the OS system, and comprehensively upgrade this generation of iPod, so that it can fully crush the Mango-ME2, which is the key to Apple's counterattack.

Because it was a project developed for the iPod, it was decided to codename the project IOS project.

Half an hour later, when Apple was ambitious and ready to launch the "IOS plan", Makino Technology suddenly issued an announcement:

Andy Rubin, a well-known IT expert, officially joined Makino Technology as the deputy general manager and technical director of Mango Division, fully responsible for the software and hardware research and development of Mango series products.

The red-eyed guys inside the apple have expressions that are much more ugly than dogs......

Half an hour ago, 77% of people within Apple believed that Apple should develop a dedicated operating system for the iPod in order to fully upgrade the iPod, so they fully supported the launch of the IOS plan;

Half an hour later, more than 77% of people in Apple believe that the IOS plan can be started without starting, because they know Andy Rubin's ability very well, after all, Andy Rubin has worked at Apple for several years, Li Mu invited Andy Rubin to join, and let him be in charge of the Mango division, which shows that Apple's idea is the same, to fully upgrade Mango-ME.

In this way, Apple, which is at an absolute disadvantage, loses its most valuable opportunity.

Even this advantage is gone, what else is IOS?

At 9:40, Apple's top management voted again.

The repeal of the IOS program received an 87% turnout.

Tim Cook waved his hand dejectedly and said to everyone: "Everyone hasn't closed their eyes all night, let's go home and wash and sleep!"
