The success of a new mobile phone operating system is based on a variety of extremely complex factors, such as the development of science and technology, the upgrading of electronic consumer products, the developer's own technical strength and subsequent research and development, the dynamics of competitors, and so on.

But in addition to these factors, the most important is the marketing effect, now the mobile phone operating system is Microsoft and Symbian two giants, Nokia is by virtue of financial strength to take the Symbian system into the arms after becoming the world's most famous mobile phone manufacturer, Google research and development of the mobile phone operating system can surpass or even replace Symbian, marketing will be an extremely critical part, and Chinese mainland's vast market space will undoubtedly be the key to the global strategy.

Brin and Page looked at each other and asked with interest, "Zhanxiong also has influence in China's mobile phone industry?" ”

Feng Yiming tilted his head and glanced at Wei Jun.

"In the past three years, Zhanxiong Group's focus will be on the e-commerce industry, and it has not set foot in mobile phones and related industries. Wei Jun's life experience is more complicated, he spent some time in the United States in the early days of leaving his job more than ten years ago to go to sea, and his spoken English is not bad.

Schmidt raised an eyebrow, didn't speak, and only made a gesture to continue.

"If we're right, Google is working on a mobile operating system based on a new generation of smartphones. Wei Jun paused and continued: "So before the new generation of smartphones were put on the market, Zhanxiong's lack of involvement in the mobile phone industry was not a disadvantage, but an advantage. ”

"We expect new smartphones to hit the market in two to three years, and a little later in Chinese mainland. Wei Jun's homework was done in detail, carefully introduced the current situation of China's mobile phone market, and finally said: "Therefore, Zhanxiong Group has no baggage, no drag, and in two to three years there will be enough funds to enter the mobile phone industry, which we can make a commitment." ”

Feng Yiming knew that Google later spent a huge amount of money to acquire Motorola Mobility, which completely defeated Nokia, and then Nokia announced that it would abandon the research and development of the Symbian system, which shows that Google attaches great importance to the strength of mobile phone manufacturers in terms of marketing.

"Of course, this requires some technical support from Google, and perhaps Zhanxiong Group can also participate in ......," Ren Hongyuan's words came to an abrupt halt halfway through.

Schmidt tilted his head and looked silent, he knew what the other party meant, if there is a technology company with considerable influence in China to get involved in the mobile phone industry, and reach an agreement with Google at the technical level, this is of great benefit to the promotion of the mobile phone operating system, but the other party is obviously unwilling to be only a promoter, but wants to participate in it at a deeper level, and even participate in the research and development process of the mobile phone operating system.

The mutual temptation of the first meeting has come to an end, and the Google triumvirate is still unclear about the execution of the senior management of Zhanxiong Group, but they have enough understanding of the team's centripetal force and vision.

After a simple meal in the staff cafeteria, the two sides returned to the conference room.

"Mr. Schmidt, do you know that there is an Internet company in China, Alibaba Group?" Feng Yiming pointed out the key point of today's meeting with a smile.

"Of course, some people in the investment bank say that if you have missed Google, then you can't miss Ali again. Schmidt said with a smile: "Relying on the Chinese mainland market, as long as there is no global Internet bubble, companies such as Alibaba and Zhanxiong have a bright future." ”

"So you should have heard about Ali and Yahoo's marriage this year?"

Schmidt's brow furrowed, and he began to ponder the true meaning hidden beneath the sentence.

In August this year, the hottest news in China was not the hit of "Crazy Stone", but Ali's financing, Yahoo sent Yahoo China, and acquired 40% of Ali's equity at a price of 1 billion US dollars.

"The views of the East and the West are very different about this financing. The Chinese believe that Ali bought Yahoo China and accepted a $1 billion investment from the other party, while the West believes that Yahoo bought 40 percent of Alibaba's equity and dumped Yahoo China to the other side. ”

Feng Yiming spoke at length one by one, and finally said: "Maybe this news has some reference value for us." ”

"Not adapted?" Paige interjected, "...... that word"

Feng Yiming's translation of this word was not accurate enough, and Ren Hongyuan added: "The localization is not thorough enough. ”

"Local......ization," Page nodded, "In fact, Google China has a similar problem, Google's search engine is intended to be open to users all over the world, but in China it has received interference from relevant policies, and the proportion of them being blocked is quite high." ”

Feng Yiming hesitated, got up and introduced Wu Zhen's background, and the three giants all politely got up and shook hands, both sides knew that any multinational giant has a considerable degree of energy on public relations, and Google is no exception.

"It's impossible for Google to circumvent China's policies, and I'm optimistic about Google's development in China. Feng Yiming said nonsense without changing his face, "But if you want to localize, can you consider introducing Internet technology companies in Chinese mainland?"

The words have been clarified, Feng Yiming's heart is jumping, and he secretly says to himself in his heart, whenever there is a major event, there is calm......

If it is just for financing, Feng Yiming does not need to fly to the United States, even if SoftBank's appetite is big, he can always find a way to bypass SoftBank, not to mention that he still has the killer weapon of next year's big bull market, but if he can reach a cooperation agreement with Google this time, it will be a qualitative leap for Zhanxiong.

"Four months later, we responded to an email inviting you and your team to Silicon Valley, which in itself speaks volumes about our inclination. Schmidt got up and said slowly: "I am amazed by Zhanxiong's ambition and the sharp and long-term vision of Zhanxiong's senior management. ”

"Google promises to reach technical exchanges with Zhanxiong Group at the same time of investment, send willing engineers to train Zhanxiong Technology Research Institute one after another, and is willing to accept Zhanxiong Group as Google's partner in Chinese mainland, allowing Zhanxiong Group to acquire part of Google's equity in China." ”

However, for the research and development of the new mobile phone operating system, whether Zhanxiong Group has the strength to participate in it needs to be further judged. Page added: "We will form a mobile phone alliance with Google's R&D department as the core to jointly develop a new mobile phone operating system by the end of next year at the latest, and it is difficult to say whether we can cross this threshold." ”

Schmidt held Feng Yiming's hand, "The specific details need to be discussed slowly by the teams of both sides, and we will hire an accounting firm to go to China for the review of relevant materials. ”

Feng Yiming shook Schmidt's hand, turned his head to look at Page and Brin, and then looked at Ren Hongyuan, Wei Jun, and Dong Zhengyu who were smiling.

This extremely bumpy, almost impossible road has finally been cleared by myself, maybe I can change more things, maybe the butterfly in the storm will turn into a petrel soaring in the sky.
