Chapter 172: The Head of Fruit Shell America

Within a few days, Time Holdings acquired an Android software company that had been mutually licensed with Google. As for the head of the American company of Guoke, still no decision has been made. A well-known headhunting firm in Silicon Valley recommended many candidates to Zhou Shi, and he was very interested in one of them.

Under his leadership, Joan Rubinstein, a retired former senior vice president at Apple and the future executive chairman and CEO of Plam, developed the technologically advanced ebOS. Although it didn't succeed in the end for various reasons, Palm gathered the top talents in Silicon Valley at that time, and they were all good men who could kill the world with a good weapon.

Although he was a good candidate, when Zhou Shi found him, someone became interested in him at the same time. Irish singer Bono, a former U2 leader who wanted to inject $325 million into Plam, also approached Joan Rubinstein. One is a troubled old tech company, and the other is a nascent and dynamic tech company, and the conditions are similar to that make it difficult for Ruby (as Silicon Valley people call Joan Rubenstein) to choose.

In the end, Zhou Shi found Yang Zhiyuan and made an appointment with Ruby to meet. Introduced in detail the vision of Guoke, the current development, the cooperation with Google and Qualcomm, and his remuneration, and finally Feng Xing and Li Yinan sent him a formal invitation on behalf of Guoke Mobile. He also put forward his own requirements, not to work in the mainland, the company to operate independently, and so on.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Shi agreed to most of his requests, vetoed a few, and made a final decision. Guoke established a holding company in the offshore center, holding Guoke USA Inc. and Continental Inc., respectively, and the U.S. company is responsible for the design and sales of smartphones in North America. The mobile phone production is made in the mainland, and within five years the two companies will share all intellectual property rights, and after five years, the two sides will negotiate. Joan Rubinstein is the CEO of Fruit Shell USA and is responsible for the specific operations of the American company. Galaxy Capital's Blue Dragon Fund injected capital into Guoke Holdings, which established Guoke USA Inc. in Delaware to directly control the financial power of Guoke America.

may still feel that Guoke, which is supported by the Internet elite, is more reliable than Plam, which is supported by celebrities, Ruby finally chose Guoke America. Before the company was officially formed, he was busy, and Rubinstein used his connections in Silicon Valley to sell his vision of "making the next big thing" to heroes. Andy Grigono, Rob Tsuk, and Rich Dellinger, for example...... For a time, the United States of Fruit Shell was full of talents, and it was less salty. At the same time, there is no place for Li Yinan on the first day of the shell.

"You won't regret it, right?" Zhou Shi specially came over to greet (actually a blow) Li Yinan.

Li Yinan's face was blue and red for a while, and he said embarrassedly: "How is it possible!"

Guoke America's talent advantage is almost the strongest among all Zhou Shi's companies, and if Li Yinan has no regrets, he can't believe it. However, without Ruby's joining, Guoke would not have attracted so many excellent talents.

It was also during this period of time that Zhou Shi found that in the communication between Feng Xing and Li Yinan and these people, almost all of these people summoned by BY had perfect resumes, and the long-term worship of foreigners by the Chinese people often unconsciously inferior. If this continues, the shell of the United States will be finished before it has even begun.

"Is the husk theirs or ours, and in whose hands can the husk develop better?" Zhou Shi asked deliberately

"???" is very difficult for them to answer, on the one hand, those people are really capable, and on the other hand, they themselves are unwilling to admit defeat.

"I think so, they may be very capable, but they may lack the passion for entrepreneurship and innovation, and the successful experience of the past will limit their development potential. I think American companies need an open-minded, tolerant and coordinated leader at the beginning, so that they can maximize their capabilities and help us develop the market. In the later stage, a confident and strong executive leader is needed to help Guoke get back on track. "That's it, if you don't understand their mission, Zhou Shi has nothing to say. Zhou Shi has some impressions of Rubinstein, especially after competing with Plam, and he also knows this person, how the Plam in his previous life failed, he doesn't know, but ebOS is one of the few products that has the potential to compete with IOS and Android. This time, Zhou Shi intercepted Nokia and Plam, and he didn't believe that with the advantages of MeeGo and ebOS, the domestic Android could not break the monopoly of IOS and Android.

After Ruby joined the company, he was also responsible for the cooperation with Google, and the joining of such a big guy made the cooperation between the three parties much smoother. And Android's North American studios have also invited a large number of powerful people with the assistance of Ruby. For example, Matias Duarte, the former design director of Danger and Helio Design House, gave up the opportunity to follow his former boss Andy Rubin to Google and became the current design director of Android.

In this way, Android has three studios in Yanjing, Shenzhen and Silicon Valley. From this moment on, the road to an independent open source operating system began. It also brought great convenience to Time Holdings' acquisition of Trolltech in Norway.

A few months later, with the assistance of UBS, Time Holdings' newly formed Mtime system software company acquired Wonder for $150 million.

Analysys International's Ye Yang came to Wall Street to witness the great success of the Vermilion Bird Fund, and saw New Century Financial, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, file for bankruptcy protection on April 2, 2007, laying off 54% of its employees. On April 4, after laying off half of its employees, New Century Financial filed for bankruptcy protection. A series of news, coupled with Galaxy Capital's tyrant style, finally took Analysys International under its umbrella, and then injected huge sums of money to recruit high-end talents (mainly in the TMT industry and financial fields) around the world. Oriental Fortune was also incorporated into Analysys International and became his subsidiary.

After the acquisition of Analysys International, in addition to the establishment of Zhou Shi's advisory team, the next most important thing is to establish the authority and credibility of Analysys International in the subprime mortgage crisis.

There is so much that can be written about the subprime mortgage crisis, and with a stance in mind, these articles are actually easy to write. As a result, Analysys soon published articles on well-known websites and magazines at home and abroad, such as "Subprime Mortgage Crisis and Weapons of Mass Destruction", "Winter for Property Speculators is Coming!", "Monetary Policy and Subprime Mortgage Crisis", "Subprime Mortgage Crisis and Liquidity", etc.

However, the impact is limited now, and it has not had much impact on the global financial market, except for making waves at home. Mainland and U.S. stock markets also rose, with several major stock indexes continuing to rise. It can be seen how irrational the market is at this time, and there is no corresponding social status, and geniuses are useless. A person's success and fame not only require talent, but also the existence of luck. Before 08 years, I believe that whether it is the mainland or the United States, there are probably not a few people who predict the subprime mortgage crisis, and there are probably not many people who can take advantage of it, for example, even if President Liu of Yan University Scholastic Institute is convinced that there will be a subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, he does not have much capital and channels to earn the profits he wants, and even if the state institutions know, they do not dare to act rashly. This kind of thing that involves the whole body may have a very big international impact after being done. There may not be a third world war, but there is still a good chance of a dozen trade wars. It is only Zhou Shi who can make money in the market unscrupulously, and at most he is closely monitored like Soros. Rich uncles, especially those who are familiar with the rules of the game, are not afraid of the American government.

After that, there will be two shifts in the morning every day!
