Chapter 653: Deepin and ChromeOS
After basically getting LinkedIn, Zhou Shi continued to invest in Adobe Adobe. To that end, he had an in-depth and helpful conversation with Odobi's CEO, Shantanu Narayan.
"All in all, I think migrating products to the cloud is not an end, but a means, a means to increase the user base!" Zhou Shi
"What you say is what we want to do! I'm sure our cooperation will be very pleasant!" Shantanu Narayan
"I believe it too!" Zhou Shi
You want to occupy a majority of the shares in a company, unless there is a great deal of volatility in the market, the company's operating conditions are extremely deteriorating, or the shareholders want to transfer it due to personal circumstances. Otherwise, it would be difficult to acquire more than 5% of the company's shares, not to mention the many securities laws and regulations, and consider whether the company's management welcomes it or not. Zhou Shi didn't plan to avoid Adobe's management and directly join the shares, that would be too uneconomical, besides, he still wanted to enter Adobe's board of directors, how could he not mess around!
In addition to the direct acquisition from the secondary market, Zhou Shi's investment will also help Adobe replenish its cash flow through targeted financing and accelerate their transformation.
Zhou Shi, who was busy buying LinkedIn and taking a stake in Adobe, suddenly received an unexpected news that Jobs wanted to meet him.
Apple, which has obtained some of Motorola's patents, is finally more than self-retaining and no longer has to worry about most of the patent disputes now. Before because of the sudden rise of the husk, the friendship established by Jobs and Zhou Shigang was instantly cleared, in the final analysis, it is still an entanglement of interests, it is also a high-end brand, in the same industry, when developing the market, Apple can also tolerate the husk very well, after laying down this market, Apple gradually can't tolerate the husk. The contradictions and conflicts between the two sides are intensifying day by day, and even with mutual friends such as Robert Iger and Larry Ellison, Zhou Shi and Jobs have always been at odds. For Jobs's invitation, he was a little confused, knowing that he had met Jobs himself.
"Ah~~" Zhou Shi almost exclaimed, he didn't want the former godfather of entrepreneurship to be radiant, but now he is already in shape, almost no longer human. Some of the information in the memory finally appeared in my mind, and it turned out that Jobs was almost dying.
The meeting between the two did not last long, even if he was about to pass away, this guy's personality was still so bad, Zhou Shi had never been his fan, so naturally he would not give him too much accommodation. Even though he knew that this was the last time he and Mr. Jobs would communicate, he left Mr. Jobs' hospital room less than an hour later.
"What, Jobs is dying?" Wang Xirui shouted in surprise
"Yes, you heard it right. Zhou Shi said calmly
"It's a pity that such a legendary figure is gone!" Wang Xirui
"He's not a good person, he's about the same as Zhou Shi. Li Ying said on the side
"Hey, don't get anything on me, I'm so much better than him. "Zhou Shi
"At least Jobs didn't think about marrying two wives at the same time!" Li Ying
"Everyone's traditions are different, I may not learn the hypocrisy and sneakiness of Westerners, besides, I am really much purer than them, and I am afraid that the girls who have experienced so far are not as average in the United States. "Zhou Shi
"So you want more?" Wang Xirui said maliciously
"No, you misunderstood, I can't even handle you, even if I go to Saudi Arabia, it's useless, I can only accept my fate!" Zhou Shi said with a little loss
"Hmph~~" The two women were not satisfied with Zhou Shi's reply, the three of them lived together, it was not the beginning of happiness, he was like being enclosed in a cage, no one could go to anyone's room, so he could only sleep in his own room.
"So the biggest enemy of the fruit shell is gone?" Li Ying changed the subject
"It's not that simple, I promised him, and I will help him stand on the platform on the day the IPhone4S is released......" Zhou Shi recalled
"How could you agree to such a request, you are stupid?" Li Ying
"What's this?" said Wang Xirui
"Whether he is going to sabotage or to Toucheng, everyone knows that he is the major shareholder of Guoke, why would he participate in the IPhone press conference, what do others think, Toucheng?" Li Ying said excitedly, really not understanding Zhou Shi's choice.
"It's okay, I know what I'm doing!" Zhou Shi said with a gloomy face
"What's the deal between you?"
"Maybe there is, or maybe it was my compassion at that time!" Zhou Shi
"By the way, why did you invest in Adobe?" Li Ying didn't dwell on this, and asked him another thing.
"I'm optimistic about Odobi's future. "Zhou Shi
"Is it better than Yahoo?"
"It's different, I'm diversifying. "Zhou Shi
"Is there really no other purpose?" Li Ying
"What do you say?" Zhou Shi said noncommittally
"How can a person like you who takes one step and sees three steps do one thing with only one purpose!" Wang Xirui didn't believe it, "No, I have only one purpose with you!" Zhou Shi
"What nonsense, is it really just for investment?" Li Ying
"The Linux-based Deepin operating system is about to be perfected, and we are ready to launch deepin-based computer products!" Zhou Shi
Due to his disruption, Google's Chromeos and Chromebooks have not been launched, and due to Friends.com and Time's Chrome browser, Timetime has played a key role in the establishment of the H5 technical standard and is one of the companies that have contributed the most. In any case, Zhou Shi has the motivation to promote the popularization of this standard. Chromebooks, on the other hand, are more based on H5 technology, which is what everyone calls the operating system that is nothing away from the network.
Time's Deepin is not ChromeOS, it is an operating system with a Linux kernel, more precisely an operating system based on the Debian project.
The popularity of the Fruit Shell pad, Apple iPad and various brands of tablets has dealt a serious blow to netbooks, but they have not disappeared like in the previous life, and there may also be Chromebooks.
As a result, there is a large market for cheap computers focused on the education market, and Chromebooks in previous lives even surpassed the sales of Mac computers. This time, the deepin system will also learn the route of Chromebooks at the beginning, allowing nuts to launch a cheap educational notebook. To this end, he has made a lot of preparations, including letting Time acquire Kingsoft's PS office software and make it cloud-based. As for basic functions such as network hard drives, cloud computing and other times are no worse than Google, plus the batteries provided by Ningde New Energy, as long as the education market is well developed, I believe that even if it cannot exceed the Chromebook in the previous life, it can also occupy a place.
With a market, a brand, and a user experience, the upgraded version of Deepin is more acceptable. Originally, this time, Spreadtrum wanted to sneak up on the acquisition of MIPS while several giants in the United States were competing for Motorola, but unfortunately persuaded the person in charge of the company, but was finally rejected by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Otherwise, Zhou Shi is also ready to acquire the domestic Loongson company and directly create a domestic inter alliance. The purpose of investing in Adobe is to make money, and it is also to make deepin's application more extensive.
