After the phone was connected, Yang Yuanqing said in a reproachful tone: "Mr. Zhang, you deceived me so hard! You don't say that you are not interested in Motorola's mobile phone, you just want to buy Motorola's set-top box business!"

Zhang Ran laughed and said, "Lao Yang, you won't call to ask about the guilt, right?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled: "That's not it, I don't know if you've been free lately, I want to ask you to have a meal." ”

Zhang Ran estimated that Yang Yuanqing came to Motorola's mobile phone business, and soon after Google acquired Motorola Mobile, Yang Yuanqing invited Google Chairman Schmidt to dinner. At the dinner table, Yang Yuanqing not only introduced Lenovo products, but also threw an olive branch, saying that if Google doesn't want to run the mobile phone business one day, it can find Lenovo. He smiled and said: "Now the industry is not optimistic about us making mobile phones, Lenovo must be the same opinion, do you hope that if one day our mobile phone business can not continue, Motorola will be sold to Lenovo?"

Yang Yuanqing was shocked, Zhang Ran is such a monster, he actually guessed my purpose at once! Now that Zhang Ran has said everything, Yang Yuanqing no longer sells Guanzi: "Yes, if you don't want to run a mobile phone business one day, you can find Lenovo, we are willing to take over!"

Zhang Ran did not hide from Yang Yuanqing, and said directly: "The peak of the century will give Motorola Mobile two years, if by the beginning of 2014, Motorola's mobile phone business is still not improving, we will sell Motorola's mobile phone business to Lenovo!"

After hanging up Mr. Yang's phone, Mr. Zhang parked his car in a paid parking space on Pacific Avenue and walked to the front of a villa. Zhang Ran stood still and looked up at the villa in front of him. This villa faces the water in front and leans against the mountain in the back, it is a treasure land that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and attracts wealth and money, the building has four floors above ground, and the appearance presents the style of a villa on the Pacific Coast of the Northwest and the Pacific Ocean, with lush forests and thousands of weather.

Zhang Ran took two steps forward, came to the door, raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

Hastings opened the door and saw Zhang Ran standing at the door, slightly stunned. He never dreamed that Zhang Ran would appear at his doorstep, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I'm here to visit you, what's the matter, don't you invite me in to sit?"

Hastings frowned, turned away slightly, and beckoned, "Come in!"

After entering the villa, Zhang Ran found that there was a 54-minute electric curved glass door on the periphery of the living room, which could be opened to overlook the beautiful scenery of the ocean. Outside the door is a curved swimming pool with an iPad remote control for water spraying. The spacious living room has a 12-seat bar with a drink and a view.

Hastings took Zhang Ran to the bar in the living room, took two cans of beer, threw one to Zhang Ran, then opened the beer in his hand and took a sip, and asked, "What are you looking for me?"

Zhang Ran did not sell it, and said directly: "Now is the Internet era, if you want to live a prosperous life in the mobile phone industry, you must either be ahead of others in technology and become a real technology leader, or you can respond flexibly and quickly in the market and become a real adapter." Motorola is no longer a technology leader, and if it wants to survive, it can only become an adaptor in the market. The biggest problem for Motorola right now is the company's engineer culture, which is too focused on details and technology, but not at all market-oriented. If Motorola wants to survive the competition, it must transform its engineer culture so that they know how to adapt to the direction of the market and develop products according to market needs. To revamp Motorola, the company's CEO must understand the Internet, and he must be strong enough and must have enough vision. I've considered a lot of candidates, but in the end there's only one candidate, and that's you, Hastings! I'm here to invite you to be the CEO of Motorola Mobility!"

Hastings was stunned when he heard this, and said coldly: "You know that I can't do things for you, it's absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Ran chuckled and said, "Why can't it? You won't hold a grudge because we acquired Netflix, right? It's not that I'm boasting, if Netflix is in your hands, will it develop better than now?"

Hastings also knew that Netflix could not grow so fast in his own hands, nor could it be as powerful as it is now, and even felt great pressure on HBO. But he was unwilling to admit defeat in front of Zhang Ran, and sneered: "Even if I am willing to join the pinnacle of the century, will you really trust me? Aren't you worried that I will deliberately mess up and make the Motorola business bad?"

Zhang Ran didn't answer Hastings' question, but asked, "Hastings, are you willing?"

Hastings knew what Zhang Ran was talking about, snorted coldly, and said, "What am I unwilling to do? We are not here to work, we are here to enjoy life, we are here to be people, not to do things. I'm enjoying life, yacht beauty, fragrant car and wine, living very comfortably, very comfortable, what am I not willing to do?"

Zhang Ran shook his head lightly and said: "There are many entrepreneurs in this world who retreat bravely and enjoy life after making a sum of money, and these people will not become great entrepreneurs." You are not such a person, you like to do things, you really want to do a career, and you also have the ability to do a career, how can a person like you be willing to live the second half of your life without doing anything!"

Hastings looked a little flustered, but still stubbornly said, "Do you think you know me well?"

"You can deceive others, but can you deceive yourself? Do you dare to touch your chest and swear to God that you are willing to spend the rest of your life doing nothing?" Zhang Ranteng stood up, forced his eyes into Hastings's eyes, and said slowly, "I know you can't do it! I have met many opponents, but you are the only one who really makes me feel terrible." You can't live the rest of your life without doing anything! You have a talent that is difficult for others to match, you have an incomparably sharp vision, and as long as you are given enough stage, you can bloom with dazzling brilliance. You are the one who can change the world, how can someone like you waste his life among yacht beauties!"

Zhang Ran's words simply spoke to Hastings's heart, and he suddenly felt that the person who knew him best in this world was not his friend, but Zhang Ran, his opponent. However, he still shook his head slightly: "I did want to make a career and make Netflix a great company." But I lost to you, and ten years of hard work were ruined! Later, I joined Microsoft and wanted to make a comeback, but Ballmer suppressed me in all kinds of ways, and didn't give me a chance at all, and now I'm tired!"

Zhang Ran didn't believe Hastings' words at all, and said slowly: "Do you know why we want to buy Motorola?"

Hastings said without thinking: "If you want to make a mobile phone system, you need a patent from Motorola." ”

Zhang Ran nodded slightly and said, "You are right, we acquired Motorola to make a system. Because only when the mobile port is truly mastered, the peak of the century can truly have the future. First-class enterprises do standards, second-rate brands, and third-rate products. A first-class enterprise is an enterprise that formulates industry rules, and as long as we master the system, we will occupy the highest point in the industry. At that time, the so-called Big Six, as well as the Hollywood monopoly, are not worth mentioning in front of us. ”

Zhang Ran stared into Hastings' eyes and said slowly: "But our acquisition of Motorola is not only for the system, but also for the future." The pinnacle of the century is an Internet + film company, this model will make us live comfortably for a long time, but after more than ten years, we must start to transform. Because in 20 years, the mobile Internet will be replaced by a new network, and this new network is the AR network. We must lay out in advance to ensure that Century Summit can continue to maintain its leading position in the AR era. At the same time, in 20 years, traditional movies will be replaced by VR movies, and in order to ensure that we are ahead of the curve in films, we must deploy VR. Twenty years later, the key to the AR and VR boom is smartphones, not desktops and game consoles, so the acquisition of Motorola is very important!"

Now the era of mobile Internet has just begun, and Zhang Ran is actually laying out for the AR and VR era in 20 years. Zhang Ran's actions were completely crazy in the eyes of ordinary people, but Hastings himself was a person with great strategic vision, and he was shocked by Zhang Ran's thoughts. Zhang Ran is really a monster, his vision is so amazing, it makes people feel terrible!

Hastings couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think that the key to the future boom of AR and VR lies in smartphones, shouldn't headsets be the workhorse?"

Zhang Ran smiled indifferently and said, "Why can mobile phones replace PCs and become the most commonly used terminals for the public? Mobile AR and VR features allow people to experience it without having to go somewhere, and they can bring AR and VR devices with them at any time. Everyone has a smartphone, and now smartphones can only make calls, browse the web, and send and receive emails, but in 20 years, AR and VR can turn mobile phones into mobile theaters in your pocket and arcades for games you can carry around. We hope that in the twentieth year, Century Summit will be able to become a company in AR and VR+ films, and become a leader in the entire industry!"

Zhang Ran looked at Hastings and said solemnly: "AR and VR are the future of the pinnacle of the century, we need a leader with both vision and ability to be responsible, and you are the most suitable person! Jobs created the era of mobile Internet, and we can also create a new era! Do it with us, Hastings, we need you!"

Zhang Ran's words are very contagious, and Hastings feels that Zhang Ran's judgment of the future is correct, and it is completely possible to realize it. Hastings had hoped to make a career, but now Zhang Ran opened his eyes to the possibility of changing the whole world.

Hastings felt a fire in his heart ignite, setting his blood on fire, so much so that his blood boiled. Hastings feels like he's back in time more than a decade ago, when he first founded Netflix, and his heart was full of passion.

However, Hastings did not rush to respond, but asked: "AR and VR will not see results in the short term, and like you said, it may not mature until 20 years." And Motorola's predicament is in front of us, Motorola has been losing money for four consecutive years, and the industry is not optimistic about Motorola Mobility turning losses into profits in the short term, how much time can you give me?"

Zhang Ran said unhurriedly: "As long as Motorola turns a profit before January 2014, I will give you a loss of $1 billion before that, what do you think?"

With two and a half years to turn a profit, and with a loss of $1 billion, Zhang Ran's conditions are very generous, Hastings really can't find a reason to refuse, and he really needs a stage to show his talent: "I promise you!"

Zhang Ran suddenly smiled, Hastings was born as a programmer, so Netflix was born with Internet genes, which is one of the reasons why Netflix can become the overlord of streaming media, and Hastings has excellent vision and decisiveness, with him as the CEO of Motorola, I believe that Yang Yuanqing and all those who are not optimistic about Motorola Mobile will be disappointed.
