Last year, Dream Band signed a contract with Rolling Stone, but the contract was only for one year, and after it expired, Zhang Mengze and others did not renew the contract after consulting Jiang Hui's opinion, but set up a studio by themselves.

A star studio is a team with a small staff that is responsible for the acting career of a specific artist or artists. At present, domestic studios are roughly divided into two categories, one is self-reliant, that is, they are their own bosses, and this form of studio autonomy is very large, and the corresponding risks and costs are also large. There is also a type of studio that relies on the agency signed by the artist himself, and the most is that the contracted artists of Huayi Brothers Company set up a studio within the company, which is not as autonomous as the former, but has resource advantages, such as using the company's network resources to provide convenience for their own studios to talk about business.

Although the Dream Band can also sign a contract with Glorious Film and Television, and then rely on Glorious Film and Television to set up a studio, Jiang Hui considered that everyone in the Dream Band had a deep background, and his relationship with them was more of a friend, and he didn't want too many interests between the two parties, so he suggested that they set up a separate studio.

Anyway, with the support of companies such as Glorious Film and Television, Brilliant Weibo, coupled with the background and fame of the Dream Band itself, there is no need to worry about no business.

Jiang Hui stayed and talked to Zhang Mengze and others about the next album of the Dream Band and the future cooperation with Guanghui Film and Television, and then returned to the company.

In the next few days, the security team quickly put in place, and Jiang Hui focused his energy on the matter of the Brilliant Drone and the Brilliant Mobile Phone.

2005 was a year for the Korn Ferry Group to lay the foundation for the industrial company, and it was also fully prepared to fly higher in the future. Even Jiang Hui has set up a separate project team in Autohome to plan for the future of Guanghui Automobile.

Industry is king, and Jiang Hui is not just talking.

……

Jiang Hui's trip to the United States was very low-key, a bodyguard - Lan Faqing, a secretary - Zeng Qingying, plus Fang Dawen, general manager of Tudou.com, a group of four people came to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The general manager of Tudou's American branch and others came to pick up the airport. It is rare for Jiang Hui, a big boss, to come to the United States, and the leadership of Tudou's American branch attaches great importance to it, hoping to leave a good impression on the boss.

Tudou's equity in the Celestial Empire is different from that in the United States, relatively speaking, the equity of the Celestial Empire is relatively dispersed and there are more shareholders, but the American branch has almost become a wholly-owned holding company of Jiang Hui after several capital injections. Although the operation of the U.S. branch is still under the management of the Celestial Empire headquarters, the independence is already relatively high.

Although Jiang Hui is in a hurry to buy Android, since he has come to the United States, he has to go to the American branch of Tudou first to have a look to boost everyone's morale.

As the largest video website in the United States, Wall Street's venture capital to Tudou's U.S. branch has reached a valuation of more than $2 billion. Although the number of users is not as good as that of the Celestial Empire, the valuation is indeed not lower than that of the headquarters at all (the shares of the U.S. branch are not held by the headquarters of Tudou Tianchao, but through Guanghui Technology, so the domestic valuation of Tudou does not include the U.S. branch).

American Internet giants Yahoo and Google both want to buy the US branch of Tudou.com, but they are refused, Jiang Hui will not sell the company directly, if it is only venture capital, in order to better develop in the future, it can be considered.

Jiang Hui and his entourage stayed in the U.S. branch of Tudou for a whole day, listened to the company's development report, and put forward some requirements, and then got up and started the Android acquisition journey.

In October 2003, Andy Rubin and others founded the Android company and formed the Android team.

Without the influence of Jiang Hui's butterfly, on August 17, 2005, Google would have quietly acquired Android, a high-tech company that was only 22 months old, and its team. Andy Rubin becomes VP of Engineering at Google Inc., where he continues to work on the Android project. But there's obviously nothing going to happen to Google now.

Although I got the contact information of Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, through the US branch of Tudou, and made an appointment to meet. Jiang Hui still had a good investigation and learned about Andy Rubin.

Born in 1963 in a small town in New York State, Android's father studied psychology and ran an electronic toy direct sales company. Once the sales samples were photographed and put into the sales catalog, it belonged to little Andy, and his room was filled with all kinds of the latest electronic toys. Repeatedly disassembling these toys is one of his favorite things to do. His Geek genes were planted from there.

After graduating from university, he joined Carl Zeiss GmbH, a company known for its optical instruments, as a robotics engineer, mainly working on digital communication networks. Later, he also worked for a robotics company in Switzerland and had a lot of fun. However, a fortuitous event changed his life.

In 1989, Andy was on a trip to the Cayman Islands and was strolling alone on the beach in the early morning when he encountered a man sleeping pathetically on a recliner – he had a fight with his girlfriend and Dy found him a place to stay. In return, the guy agreed to introduce Andy to his company. It turned out that this person was an engineer at Apple in its first heyday.

Andy Rubin's extraordinary Silicon Valley experience has made Andy Rubin a fish in water at the engineer-led Apple company, with the desktop system Quadra and the first software modem in history being his work. He also didn't forget to show off his Geek roots: he reprogrammed the company's internal phone system, pretending to be the CEO to call HR and instruct his fellow engineers to be rewarded with stock. Of course, the information services inevitably came to him for trouble.

After that, he worked for several companies that were born out of Apple, and later spent some time at Microsoft. Later, he came out and founded the company Danger on his own.

During his founding and CEO of Danger, Andy made the transition from engineer to manager. More importantly, together with his colleagues, he found a model that combined the interests of mobile operators and handset manufacturers, much like the iPhone. However, the company's operations were not ideal, and Andy accepted the board's decision to resign and left the company somewhat disappointed.

In early 2002, while still at Danger, Andy Rubin gave a lecture in an engineering class at Stanford University. The audience featured two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, of Google. Page was impressed by the idea of an internet phone, especially when he noticed that the default search engine on Danger's products was Google. Originally, Android would be acquired by Google, but it was because of this lecture that Andy Rubin met Page, and when they negotiated the after-sales business of Android with other companies, the two hooked up again, and the result was that they hit it off, and Android became a subsidiary of Google.

Fate is so magical.
