After Yuri Milner invested in Facebook, rumors on the Internet that Friends had deliberately crippled Facebook quickly disappeared. This time, with the competition from Friends.com, Zuckerberg was not so lucky, Facebook's market valuation dropped directly to $8 billion, and Milner invested $200 million to get a 2.5 percent stake. After that, he continued to invest in Friends.com, valuing him at $10 billion and acquiring 2 percent of the shares. When the news came out, it soon spread to Silicon Valley, and Yuri Milner's name spread throughout the venture capital circle at once.

The value of this event is not only Yuri Milner's fame, but also the establishment of the leading position of the network of friends in social networks. Although Facebook has more users, the valuation of Friends is higher than yours. Even the financial media on Wall Street have to admit that Friends has a leading advantage overseas. It's easy to see why Facebook started in college, then in high school, and then in society. The development of the friend network in Europe and the United States is directly the society, that is, the adult group, and now it has begun to focus on the development of the student group. When Facebook expanded overseas, he couldn't start with European students and compete step by step, and the sudden opening of the network put a lot of pressure on Facebook. The public opinion environment of the two groups is fundamentally different, and some extreme users have directly transferred from Facebook to the friend network in protest.

Zhou Shi also came to Friends.com to preside over the work under such circumstances, as a major shareholder, and also to prepare for the upcoming board of directors. The current CEO of Time is Lu Qi, COO is Shen Haoyu, CFO is an American with rich experience in the semiconductor industry, and most of the other executives are not Chinese, such as David Fisher, from Google, who served as vice president of global online sales and operations, and is now also vice president of advertising and global operations of Friends.com. Although Google has not joined the board of friends, the network of friends continues to poach many people from Google and Microsoft.

Zhou Shi's board of directors for Friends of America is roughly composed of 7 people, Lei Jun, Pichai, Lu Qi, Zhou Shi, Larry Ellison, Rubinstein and Mark Anderson. These include Time, Huaxia Friends, major shareholders, management and external celebrities. Mark Anderson is the co-founder of Netscape, in a sense, he opened the Internet era, the former Netscape browser hit Microsoft almost can't find the north, is the first legend of the Internet era, so that Microsoft has to use a bundle to finally defeat Netscape, and finally let itself fall into a monopoly crisis. Mark Anderson is now a venture capitalist and has also invested in companies such as Facebook and LinkedIn. However, the advent of Time Chrome allowed him to establish a connection with Time and Friends. Between Facebook and Friends, I chose Friends.

Just as he was building the board of directors of Friends, Silicon Valley headhunters also found the right person for him, a man named Johny Srouji, who is now an employee of IBM and a rising star in the semiconductor industry.

What Zhou Shi didn't know was that he was the senior R&D director of Apple's mobile device chips and large-scale integrated chips at this time, and in 2010, he led the team to successfully develop the A4 processor. Later, he also participated in the design and development of Apple's Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and also oversaw the development of battery, storage, and display technology. Later, he became the chief hardware designer of Apple. He is the man behind the success of Apple's chips.

I don't know why this time, it may be that the early birth of the Shell mobile phone has put a lot of pressure on Apple to acquire PA Semi, a California-based chip design company, in advance.

The founder of PA Semi is Dan Dobberpuhl, a very powerful figure in the industry, having worked at DEC in the past, and must have served as the lead designer of both Alpha and StrongArm processors. They develop high-performance, low-power processors based on the IBM Poer processor architecture, which are very good performance and are important partners of Apple Computer. However, Apple later chose Intel, and the Samsung chip used in the iPhone, this acquisition is also considered the beginning of Apple's development of its own chips.

The acquisition of PA Semi may be to stabilize the team, or perhaps the task of chip design was given to Dan Dobberpuhl, anyway, in the end, Johny Srouji did not join Apple, and it can be regarded as the luck of pig's feet, and there is a chance to recruit such a great person. Although he did not know about Johny Srouji's amazing achievements later, his desire for talent made him show great sincerity, and Johny Srouji did not hesitate to agree to Zhou Shi's invitation. He became the head of technology for Spreadtrum Israel and the United States, as well as vice president of technology at the head office. Moreover, Zhou Shi promised to invest no less than 500 million US dollars in these two places, and I believe that a complete mercenary team can be built soon, and how to integrate it in the future is a matter for the future.

With the addition of Johny Srouji and Zhou Shi's investment, Spreadtrum's future achievements will not be too much of a problem, and the development of the first generation of high-performance chips should also be completed, and Zhou Shi will be a little relieved.

The next step is to establish Pichai's position in North America, CEO of Time Company in North America. In fact, most of Time's business in North America is under his control, and this time it is only to establish a reputation. There is also Zhou Shi to know the progress of some things.

Time Company has time lab, time android system, time browser, time music, and has also established a time map project.

"Simon, for the map of time to evolve rapidly, we still have to have a new way, and it may take a long time for us to develop on our own!"

"What do you think?" Zhou Shi

In addition to purchasing basic map data, I also guide and encourage end users to upload and share traffic information (traffic jams, event information), so as to form timely and accurate traffic information. "Pichai

Zhou Shi seems to have heard of it, but he is not impressed, but since he has an impression, it means that this road should be able to be passed.

"If you think you can, then be it, I believe in your abilities. "Zhou Shi

"Simon, our cross-platform multi-terminal instant messenger is complete, and it worked great after testing. "Pichai

"Done?" Zhou Shi asked in surprise

"Yes, look!" I saw Pichai take out two mobile phones, an apple and a fruit shell, both of which are equipped with an app with a green background and two white faces combined. Then Pichai clicked on an app, selected a friend, called up a picture, and sent it. Then I opened the APP on another mobile phone, there was already an information prompt on it, and I opened it to see, and sure enough, it was the picture.

"Okay, very good!" Zhou Shi said excitedly, his WeChat has finally come out, and he hopes that the next entrance in the mobile Internet era can be in his hands.

Thank you minman for your support!
