After Zhang Ran answered the phone, he turned his head and found that Wu Ruide had put on VR glasses and was experiencing the effect.

In fact, VR is not a new thing, in the 90s, it set off a wave of VR craze around the world, and developed VR headsets. It's just that the VR headset developed at that time was bulky, single-functional, and expensive, and it didn't catch fire, and it quickly faded away. However, since then, people have never stopped researching and developing in the field of VR, and related products have been launched.

Zhang Ran and Wu Ruide have a judgment on the future, they believe that in 20 years, VR and AR will replace the existing mobile Internet platforms. At that time, the peak of the century will inevitably face the problem of the transformation of the mobile Internet to the VR platform, so they must take precautions and make a layout for VR.

When Wu Ruide took off the VR glasses, Zhang Ran smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

Wu Ruide shook his head slightly: "It's similar to Sony's VR glasses, it's still a matter of clarity!"

Zhang Ran knows that there are many problems with VR glasses now, and clarity is one of them, and said with a smile: "I talked about this problem with the graphics experts of Industrial Light and Magic a few days ago, and they think that if the VR picture wants to achieve the most natural clarity of the human eye, the resolution of each eye must reach 16K, and now 4K cameras are not popular, and it will take at least 15 years for the camera to reach 16k, plus the hardware comfort and adaptability, it will take at least 30 years for VR movies to be truly mature!"

In fact, the problem faced by VR movies is not only technology, but also the perspective is similar to CS, which has no scene changes, and there is no way to cut the lens like a movie. When watching a movie, you see a person from a distance, and the director of the next shot can directly give a close-up of that person to let you know who he is. When you play CS, you see a bandit from a distance, and if you immediately take a close-up, the gangster's face swoops in front of you, what does it feel like? In addition to this, there are various problems, and even the internal montage cannot be used. Therefore, in order for VR movies to develop, it is necessary to create new film languages and editing techniques.

Creating a new kind of film, creating a new film language and editing techniques, for Zhang Ran, this is the most interesting thing.

Coming out of the Motorola headquarters, Zhang Ran, who was originally full of lightheartedness, suddenly became serious, lowered his voice and said to Wu Ruide: "Just now I received a notice from the Ministry of Commerce that the No. 1 leader will visit the United States at the end of this month, and I will attend the welcome dinner and the Sino-US entrepreneur symposium in Washington, the first stop;

Wu Ruide was slightly stunned when he heard that the No. 1 chief was going to visit the headquarters of Blockbuster, but immediately reacted that Blockbuster has more than 30,000 employees in the United States and has solved the problem of jobs for more than 30,000 people in the United States, which is quite a remarkable achievement that no domestic company can compare. However, Zhang Ran didn't need to say anything about this, but since he said it, he must have a good intention. Wu Ruide looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Do you want to take down Motorola before the No. 1 leader visits the United States?"

Zhang Ran nodded slightly: "The heads of state of China and the United States often sign huge economic and trade orders when they visit each other, and this order is signed under the witness of the heads of state and government officials of both sides.

Wu Ruide felt that this was reasonable, the economic and trade order was signed under the witness of the US government and the US government, if a US congressman came out to make trouble, it would be tantamount to a slap in the face; more importantly, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States itself is a department of the White House in charge, and even if a congressman comes out to make trouble, they will definitely have some scruples and will not easily veto this transaction! This is indeed a good way, but Wu Ruide is worried about the time problem: "Today is the 7th, and it will be more than half a month, is it too late?"

Zhang Ran also knew that the time was very tight, but this matter was worth a try, so he said: "Let's go separately, you go to Xiangjiang to talk to Poly Investment about repurchasing shares, and I will go to New York to find Carl Icahn to convey our acquisition intentions." Carl Icahn had long wanted to sell Motorola's mobile phone business, and I asked him to convene an interim board of directors as soon as possible, and as long as the Motorola board of directors passed, things would be relatively simple. ”

Meanwhile, in a large conference room at Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, Microsoft's board of directors is in session.

Microsoft's ten board members all had ugly faces, and each of them had a gloomy face, as if someone owed them money and didn't pay it back.

Since Apple launched the first iPhone in 07, the curtain of the mobile Internet era has opened. But now it has been three years, and Microsoft has made no progress in this regard, and Microsoft's market share of the mobile phone system is frighteningly low, and it is even in danger of going out, so the directors are quite dissatisfied with the company's management.

Bill Gates knocked on the table and said with a serious expression: "According to the latest data, the Android system now occupies 25% of the global smartphone market, and in 2009, its market share was only 3.5%, and in just one year, the market share has skyrocketed more than 7 times." And our market share of Microsoft is only 2.5 percent, which is only one-tenth of that of Android! Gentlemen, do you know what this means? It means that in the era of mobile Internet, Microsoft may be completely out! It means that we have lost our future!"

Although Bill Gates has stepped down as CEO of Microsoft for ten years, he is not only the founder of Microsoft, but also a member of the board of directors and a major shareholder. Now that Bill Gates is talking so hard, it's clear that he's also very unhappy with Microsoft's progress in moving the Internet.

Microsoft CEO Ballmer heard Bill Gates say the same, and immediately felt a huge pressure, and hurriedly said: "I am promoting an operation called Iron Fist, our company's former executive Elop, who became the new CEO and CEO of Nokia in September last year, I met with him last month, and I have persuaded him to cooperate with Microsoft." Lokia will soon abandon the Saipan system, as well as the Meego system that is being developed, and fully cooperate with us. Starting at the end of next year, Nokia will produce P phones, and by the end of next year, the P devices under the Nokia trademark will completely replace Symbian. Relying on Nokia's position in mobile phones, by 2013, our P system will be able to occupy more than 40% of the share in the field of mobile Internet!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Ballmer's words, if they could really persuade Nokia to join Microsoft's camp, and Microsoft and Nokia joined forces, then Microsoft would be able to completely turn around on the mobile Internet.

Bill Gates was also eye-catching: "How did you convince him?"

Ballmer smirked: "I told Elop that as long as he can promote Nokia's cooperation with Microsoft, I will recommend him to be Microsoft's CEO and president when I retire." ”

Bill Gates laughed: "Well done, if Elop can really convince Nokia to cooperate with us and let us master the mobile Internet, I also support him to be the CEO and president of Microsoft! But we still can't take it lightly, even if Microsoft cooperates with Nokia, the mobile phone will be launched next year." Now Android's market share is already 25%, and by the time our mobile phones go on the market, Android's market share may have exceeded 40%, or even more. How can this problem be solved?"

Ballmer confidently said: "The biggest problem facing Google and Android now is patents, and in the next step we will launch a lawsuit against several big Android phone players, especially HTC and Samsung, asking governments to ban the sale of HTC and Samsung phones." If Android phones are banned on a large scale around the world, then these mobile phone manufacturers can only turn to us!"

Bill Gates nodded slightly: "Google will not sit still, it will definitely acquire a large number of patents in mobile phones, and we must do our best to stop them." As long as they can't get enough patents, we will fight a patent war with them and use patents to strangle Android!"

Ballmer agrees: "Nortel Networks went bankrupt last year with about 4,000 patents and an estimated total value of more than $1 billion. Google is very interested in these patents of Nortel Networks, and I have contacted Apple and other companies to form a team and are ready to snatch the patents of Nortel Networks at a high price. ”

At this moment, Hastings, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Nortel Networks only has 4,000 patents, while Motorola has 17,000 patents in its hands, and 7,500 patents are pending. It's not terrible for Google to win the patent for Nortel Network, but it's terrible to win Motorola. As long as they take Motorola, no one will be able to stop Android's growth. Compared to Nortel Networks, it is more important to win Motorola!"

The directors present felt that Hastings's words were extremely reasonable, and now that Motorola has been split into two companies, Motorola Mobile has a market value of only more than $8 billion, and Google has enough funds to acquire Motorola, which really has to be guarded against.

However, Ballmer's face changed when he heard this, and he retorted loudly: "No, we can't buy Motorola." If we buy Motorola, it will be difficult for Elop to convince Nokia's board of directors to work with us. You must know that Nokia originally had a plan to develop Android phones, and was already developing Android phones, but after Elop took office, he cut the plan for Android phones in half and rejected Google's invitation to cooperate. If we had acquired Motorola at this time and we had our own mobile phones, how could Nokia believe us, they would have fallen to Google, we couldn't do that!"

Hastings frowned and said, "If we don't buy it, once Google gets the patent for Motorola, Android will be unstoppable!"

At this time, another director, Dina Dublon, suggested: "I don't think it's better to buy Motorola's mobile phone business, just Motorola's patents." It doesn't matter if the premium is higher, even 200%. As long as we win Motorola's mobile phone patent, coupled with Nokia's cooperation with us, we are fully capable of occupying a place in the mobile Internet!"

Bill Gates nodded slightly: "This is the best way at the moment!"

Meanwhile, at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, Google CEO Eric Schmidt is talking to the company's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

As Google has faced numerous legal proceedings in recent months, as well as an infringement investigation by the US Department of Justice, Schmidt has decided to resign as a way to deflect public criticism of Google, and he himself is well prepared to act as a scapegoat;

Eric Schmidt looked at Larry Page and then at Sergey Brin, and said in a deep voice: "Now we are facing a lot of lawsuits, but Microsoft and Apple will not let us go, they will definitely launch more lawsuits against Android, we must go all out to acquire patents, only with enough patents, we can break through from this war!"
