Of course, Time Holdings can't be the uncrowned king of Silicon Valley, but this is his ambition.

The main industries of Time Holdings are 10% of the shares of Friends.com, 35% of the shares of NetSuite (including databases), and Android (?) Time Game Company, Time Music Company, Time Payment Company, as well as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, maps and other products, APP in the mobile Internet era has also developed several instant messaging software, such as hatAPP with a single communication function, eChat (WeChat) in the all-round direction and Instagram photo and picture software under development.

Oh,I almost forgot that there is also a Google that wants to acquire Chrome browser project,Zhou Shi received Google's acquisition offer a little hesitant,This project is too expensive,Although technical cooperation with Firefox has reduced a lot of research and development costs,But the means of monetization through it are really limited,Or it will greatly destroy the user experience,As for Chrome-based notebook projects and cloud operating systems,Don't think about it,There is no time without a stable source of income without this waste of capital。 Google is their best choice because of their cloud office software, which needs better browser support, and Chrome, which is technologically advanced, has better compatibility and develops faster. You must know that in the U.S. market, Chrome's market share is close to 10%.

However, the revenue is still much worse than that of Firefox, less than $60 million, and Firefox's revenue in 2009 was roughly around $100 million. However, after two or three years, it is easy to double the revenue of Chrome browser, according to the annual revenue of Firefox in 2015, the market share of Chrome browser is about three times that of Firefox, and if the revenue is also calculated according to three times, Chrome's revenue is about 1.2 billion US dollars.

Zhou Shi eventually rejected Google's acquisition, but provided them with technical support, and Google also gave them corresponding funding. At the same time, Google Chrome, which is based on the Chromium kernel, was launched. As for the address bar search engine, Time has long reached a cooperation agreement with Yahoo.

Without the friend network, there will always be something to achieve in the era of mobile Internet, hatAPP, eChat and Instagram are the three trump cards of the future. In the previous life, Facebook was able to have a market value of 500 billion US dollars, and nearly half of the top 10 on the list were related to Facebook, and Xiaozha's success was predictable. But now, things have changed, as long as they can develop as they wish, they will not have the opportunity to perform in time after all.

Zhou Shi also started the biggest adjustment in the mobile Internet era at the headquarters of Time Holdings in the United States, after the financing of Huaxia's friend network, it will be independent from the sequence of Time Holdings, focusing on cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, and mobile Internet, and browser, music and payment businesses will operate independently.

"Simon, deep learning and artificial intelligence are still in their infancy, our current research is more for the future, I want to open up a new business direction!" Zhou Jingren is rare and not as restrained as before.

"What project?" Zhou Shi still appreciates his initiative to take responsibility

"Unmanned?" Zhou Jingren

"Unmanned driving, will it be too advanced, safety is the first place, even the slightest flaw in such a technology will be infinitely magnified. "Zhou Shi

"But the prospect of unmanned driving is very broad, and such a technology must be studied, and we have the strength to make such an attempt. "Zhou Jingren

"Google seems to have such a project as well!" Pichai said

"But we don't have the same deep pockets as Google!"

"The revenue of our domestic game business may grow explosively this year! It should be able to effectively support the development of the head office. "Yao Xiaoguang

"You've already discussed!" Zhou Shi's face was not good

"I just think it's cool to drive unmanned!" said Yao

"What about your VR/AR project, what is the progress?" said Zhou Shi

"Now the hardware is immature, and there is no development for the time being?" Yao Xiaoguang

"yes, are there any simple achievements? such as VR glasses. "Zhou Shi

"This laboratory product is available, but the cost is too high to be realistic. "Yao Xiaoguang

"More than ten dollars?" Zhou Shi

"$10 can't be, at least it will be higher than $100!" Yao Xiaoguang

"I don't believe it!" Zhou Shi said sharply

"That's the case, I don't believe you ask XXX!" Yao Xiaoguang

"Hehe, I'll make you a plan for less than $10!" Zhou Shi didn't speak, and walked out of the conference room, everyone who watched was stunned, and they couldn't figure out the situation.

Zhou Shi thought about the problem of unmanned driving while walking, even if he was reborn in the year, unmanned driving has only improved a little, and now how big is the role of starting research? Big data and artificial intelligence are also a research project that has been invested for a long time and cannot see the results, and the addition of unmanned driving has not increased the consumption of funds? Now the cash flow problem that is faintly appearing, I am afraid that the problem will be even greater in a few years, is it possible to sell one company and sell another? There is basically no opportunity to get rich in the financial sector, and even if there is, it is impossible to make so much money through a black swan event like the subprime mortgage crisis.

The three major ways of Internet profitability, advertising, e-commerce and game value-added, the largest advertising carrier social network company has been sold, the largest e-commerce company is someone else's, game value-added can also develop, but the instability of the game industry is notoriously unstable. He can play very little role in the development of the game industry, at most it is the mobile games and chicken games that have exploded in recent years.

In addition, the company must always have a listed company carrier as a support for development, whether it is equity financing or bond financing, it is really inconvenient to have no listed company. But looking left and right, there is no suitable company.

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, and I came to an activity room and asked people to prepare a few concave and convex mirrors, rubber bands, and a few pieces of cardboard, and Zhou Shi tried to do it a few times (in fact, he had already found someone to design it, but this time he was just pretending to do it himself).

"Look, Chen Wen, find a shorter 3D video!" Zhou Shi handed the assembled VR glasses to Yao Xiaoguang, and then instructed Chen Wen to find resources.

"This, this thing works?" said Yao Xiaoguang suspiciously

Zhou Shi glanced at him with disdain, the guy who didn't know it, he hadn't played Google Glass, what kind of Internet enthusiast.

Chen Wen quickly found a 3D short film in about the format (nonsense, I have already found it, it is ready-made, and even has it in my mobile phone). Zhou Shi looked at it, put it in the VR glasses and adjusted it, and after looking at it, the effect was perfect!

"See for yourself!" Zhou Shi handed the finished product to Yao Xiaoguang again

"This is really possible, it's incredible!" Yao Xiaoguang exclaimed slightly exaggerated after seeing the effect.

"This is really interesting, I didn't expect the cost of VR glasses to be so low," said Ogawa

"Yes, there is a different solution if you think differently!"
