Song Weiyang came to the capital this time, of course, not specifically to drink with Han Sanye.

Larry Page, one of the founders of Google, and Andy Rubin, the father of Android, came to China together and made it clear that they wanted to investigate the Android mobile phone system.

At this time, Apple's smartphone plan has been leaked, although only half of the claws have been exposed, but it still attracts the attention of the entire Silicon Valley. The outside world paid more and more attention to this, and the more the inside of the project was leaked, and Google reacted quickly.

Donglaishun.

Larry Page and Andy Rubin had already arrived in the private room, and the person in charge of bringing them to the hot pot restaurant was Li Xiaofeng, vice president of Ark Technology.

The various sauces and side dishes had been served in advance, and Larry Page pointed to the copper oven hot pot and said to Andy Rubin in a passer-by tone: "I have eaten this kind of hot pot in Shenghai, and it tastes very good, especially the lamb slices." As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up to the waiter who was serving the side dishes, "Awesome, crooked!"

The waitress was a little puzzled, then began to hold back a laugh, and replied: "Three grams of oil!"

Larry Page replied in Chinese, "No thanks." ”

Andy Rubin asks, "What do you mean to be?"

Larry Page explains, "In Chinese, the meaning of awesome is very good. ”

"Oh. Andy Rubin suddenly realized, read it a few times, and was happy that he had learned a Chinese vocabulary.

Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Page, who did you learn Chinese from?"

Larry Page said: "The administrator of an Internet café in Shenghai. ”

"That network administrator is really awesome!" Li Xiaofeng sighed sincerely.

Larry Page said: "When Sergey and I came to China, we were talking about angel investment. We got lost while we were out shopping, so we went to an internet café and contacted Song by email. The atmosphere of the Chinese internet café is great, it reminds me of the small game hall in the United States in the 90s. ”

"Invest in Google?" Li Xiaofeng asked.

"Yes, a joyful and sad investment," said Larry Page, "Song asked for too many shares, and now I regret it a little." ”

"Knock knock!"

The waiter knocked on the door of the private room, then pushed the door in, and said with a smile: "Two of you, please!"

Song Weiyang and Shen Si walked in, and Larry Page immediately got up to greet him, and the two opened their arms to greet each other.

Larry Page said: "This is Andy Rubin, an Android developer and vice president of engineering at Google. ”

"Hello, Rubin. Song Weiyang shook hands and said.

"Hello, Mr. Song. Andy Rubin greeted.

Everyone sat down, and the hot pot was opened.

Larry Page chatted about the situation for a while, and then went straight to the point: "Song, are you going to make a smartphone?"

"Yes. Song Weiyang nodded and said.

Larry Page said: "Google intends to optimize Android to outperform all current mobile phone systems, and then open source it to attract customers!

"The Android system has been basically mobileized, but there are still some deficiencies, and the design is being optimized. Song Weiyang said.

Andy Rubin said: "I wanted to get in touch. If China does a good job, the U.S. will adopt it directly. If I need help on the Chinese side, I can ask the team at the headquarters to come and help. ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "Of course you can." ”

It seems that Apple's project leak is not serious, and Google is still planning to adopt a full keyboard design, not knowing that Apple has abandoned the keyboard.

Andy Rubin is a super tech controller and worked for Apple in his early years.

Don't talk about 996 good fortune, don't say that Huawei is a prison factory, and Apple's R&D department is the same. Andy Rubin eats and lives in the office 24 hours a day, developing smartphone systems for Apple. It's a pity that it was only 1995, and the concept of smart phones was too advanced, and it was directly sentenced to death by the market.

Later, Andy Rubin joined Microsoft, built a walking robot, installed cameras and microphones, and walked around Microsoft. As a result, the robot was hacked, Microsoft's security team was frightened, and Andy Rubin was ousted from Microsoft.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the world's most popular smartphone sidekick was developed by Andy Rubin. But this kind of popularity only exists among the rich, young, and cool-seeking consumer groups, to put it bluntly, it is a pretend thing that sells expensively, and the market is very niche, and Andy Rubin was forced to leave his job again.

Halfway through, Andy Rubin went on to develop a digital camera, which also ended in failure.

In another time and space, after the Android system became popular, the media always said that Andy Rubin defined Android as a mobile phone system at the beginning of development, in order to realize his dream of a smartphone. In fact, this is a half-truth, perhaps Andy Rubin thought so at first, but soon found that the system could not be sold, even if the system architecture was converted to open source design, it could not be sold, so he simply switched to PDA (handheld computer) system.

After eating the hot pot, the two foreign devils couldn't wait to go to Android (China) to visit.

The Android system on the Chinese side does not adopt a tombstone design, and still uses the original architecture of Android, but it continues to be optimized.

Andy Rubin was unimpressed at first, but was quickly taken aback: "Why has the Android system been scaled down so many times? What kind of mobile phone are you developing?"

"Smartphone," Song Weiyang said with a smile, "a smartphone that can run multiple programs at the same time must have enough memory space, so the Android system must be scaled down." ”

Andy Rubin is a pioneer in the smartphone industry, and people have been working on this thing since 1993. He was immediately interested: "How can users operate multiple programs running at the same time? Is it like a handheld computer?"

"If you want to know the answer, you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Song Weiyang said.

Larry Page asked, "Do I want to sign too?"

Song Weiyang smiled: "Of course, you can also choose to avoid it. ”

After the two signed a confidentiality agreement, someone soon brought a semi-finished product.

Mainly because the screen glass, multi-touch design, and Android programming are still flawed, so they can only be called semi-finished products. There are a lot of such semi-finished products at Apple, and they belong to Jobs, and every time he gets a new toy, he will get angry and curse people everywhere, catch what he is not satisfied with, and force the developers to continue to optimize.

"No keyboard, where's the start key?" asked Larry Page.

Song Weiyang pressed the button on the side of the fuselage, opened a software casually and said, "Try it, this is a small game designed by ourselves." ”

Fruit Ninja.

Brush Brush Brush Brush!

Andy Rubin grabbed the banana and watermelon durian and slashed wildly, and then asked, "Is the home button at the bottom of this to return to the main menu?"

"Yes," Song said, "you can swipe directly from the edge of the screen." ”

Andy Rubin first tried to slide sideways, and sure enough, a Chinese dialog box popped up, and was guided by Song Weiyang to click to confirm and return.

After trying out all the features of this phone, Andy Rubin praised: "Cool, so cool! This is the smartphone of my dreams! Song, the guy who designed this phone is a genius!"

Larry Page watched the whole time, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Fortunately, Google has no intention of making a mobile phone, otherwise it will definitely be defeated by you." ”

Song Weiyang said: "We are optimizing the Android system, and there are still many small problems. ”

"Perhaps, I can come over and help. Andy Rubin volunteered.

Song Weiyang said: "Of course, I will give you a high salary, but the shareholding of Android (China) will not change." ”

Larry Page frowned and said, "Who owns this Android patent?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Leave it to the legal staff to discuss." ”

Android is not affiliated with Android (China), but the Android system (smartphone version) is based on the Android architecture and was re-developed independently by Chinese programmers. Moreover, whether it is Android or Android (China), Song Weiyang holds more shares, and Google does not take advantage of this.

However, because Song Weiyang is a novice in technology, he knows that people will buy Android, but he forgets to buy other companies. For example, Skia was acquired by Google, and the Android system uses Skia graphics software.

The more complex the modern device, the more patents are involved.

For example, Microsoft has a large number of patents for the Android system, because people have a deep heritage, and latecomers can't get around it at all. In the future, even if the Shenzhou smartphone is launched, even if it uses a self-developed system, for every mobile phone sold, it will have to pay Microsoft a few dollars in patent fees.

So in another time and space, before Google jumped out to sue manufacturers for infringement, Microsoft sued companies that infringed on Android patents. I didn't know, I thought Android was acquired by Microsoft.

Huawei's HarmonyOS system will definitely not be able to avoid Microsoft's patents, but you can sit back and wait for the patents to expire, because many patents are very old.

Larry Page couldn't just come to China to visit Atradius (China), he had other things to do.

However, after seeing the Shenzhou smartphone, this guy immediately proposed to merge Android and Android (China), and completely turn Android (China) from a joint venture company of Android into a branch or wholly-owned subsidiary of Android.

Song Weiyang categorically refused, Google can be an honest shareholder in the future, and by the way, it can cooperate with the promotion of the Android system.

Larry Page suddenly felt a little regretful, but it was too late to regret it. He can guess that the Shenzhou smartphone market has broad prospects, and the prospects of the Android system are also extremely broad, and for the benefit of Google, it can only cooperate with the promotion of the Android system in the future, which is a typical example of not being able to get off when you get on the thief ship.

But Andy Rubin didn't have so many fancy intestines, he took the initiative to put down his job in the United States, and came to China to guide the optimization of the Android system, and he didn't even bother to ask about the salary, which greatly accelerated the optimization progress of Android.

Knowing that it was Song Weiyang who proposed the concept of smart phones, Andy Rubin also saw Song Weiyang as very pleasing to the eye, and called Song Weiyang every once in a while to discuss future technology.

Well, this guy's dream is to build intelligent robots, and Android's name comes from "Blade Runner".

At the end of the year, the optimization of the Android system came to an end, and Andy Rubin flew to Shenghai Song Weiyang's house as a guest. As soon as he entered the door, he complained that Song Weiyang's villa was too low, patted his chest and said, "Song, I'll help you do a major renovation of your villa." ”

"How to transform?" Song Weiyang asked.

Andy Rubin said: "The villa gate uses a voice-activated system to record fixed sounds for identification. The door of the living room uses retina recognition, which can be opened automatically without a key. And your home theater system is also too backward, the one at my house, the lights automatically turn off when the movie starts, and the lights automatically turn on when the movie ends. I also have a laser-controlled balance bike at home, and I'll get you a set too, your son will like it. ”

Song Weiyang smiled bitterly: "Forget it." Since you like sci-fi stuff, I'll give you a car. The latest Tesla, a pure electric sports car, a variety of intelligent designs. ”

Andy Rubin has since become the first man in the United States to drive a Tesla, and he will go for a ride every once in a while, but unfortunately he does not dare to drive to work.

Because Wayne Rossing, the vice president of engineering at Google, once brandished a baseball bat in the company and said: "If anyone drives a car that is more flashy than a BMW 3 Series, I will use a baseball bat to break it!"
