Chapter 866: Conditions of Reluctance to Exchange
In the next few days, Feng Yiming personally accompanied Mark Zuckerberg to Google's headquarters, and after several discussions, Shirley Sandberg's joining was finally confirmed.
As Feng Yiming expected, Shirley joined Facebook and became the chief operating officer directly, responsible for almost the entire Facebook, including sales and marketing, acquisition cooperation, public policy, and liaison matters.
As soon as the matter was exposed, the media was quite surprised by this, on the one hand, surprised that Mark Zuckerberg, who had been in charge of Facebook, would step down to make way for Xian, and on the other hand, surprised that an elite woman with such a resume would work as a nanny for a 23-year-old young man.
Even days later, after Facebook officially announced Shirley's joining, the newspaper headline was "a hellish business marriage."
But Mark seemed full of confidence.
Feng Yiming didn't pay attention to these things, he was just following the trajectory of his previous life, and the facts will prove that Shirley will break everyone's doubts with unparalleled results, and have titles such as "Facebook's most powerful woman" and "Silicon Valley's most influential woman".
Now Feng Yiming is nervously having a final consultation with Larry Page about Xinghai Technology.
Since the equity certificate of Bird Mobile was successfully placed on Schmidt's desk, the already stalled negotiations between the two sides have restarted, after all, Bird Mobile has become the mobile phone manufacturer with the highest sales volume in Chinese mainland for three consecutive years, and this chip is not too light.
After that, Google responded quickly, and Schmidt personally came forward twice in a row to introduce Lin Wenwu and Wu Zhen to two semiconductor manufacturers, and then negotiated with Motorola, and Xinghai Technology paid a lot of money and obtained part of the authorization of related mobile phone technology.
Although the speed was not fast, the process was quite smooth, until Feng Yiming proposed to let Lin Wenwu's R&D team return to China early.
"Since two years ago, the technical exchange between Zhanxiong Group and Google has been ongoing, if I remember correctly, Lin came to the United States as a technical research institute for exchange and learning, although they actually participated in the research and development of the Android system as a technical team of Xinghai Technology. Larry Page handed over a packet of coffee candy, "It's six months, and it's still half a month away." ”
Feng Yiming blinked, "Not to mention that there are now more than 50 technology companies in the Mobile Phone Open Alliance, even the R&D team at Google's headquarters is also at the top level in the industry, so it doesn't seem that Xinghai Technology is needed, right?"
"But the time that has been decided by the two sides cannot be changed. Larry Page waved his hand easily, "Besides, the ability shown by the team of Xinghai Technology in the research and development process before is impressive. ”
Feng Yiming tore open the sugar packet, put a small half into the coffee cup, took the spoon and stirred it gently, squinted and asked, "Is this Mr. Schmidt's request?"
"Ha, I'll just say you're a smart man!" laughed Larry Page, "Schmidt has only one small request. ”
"If ......"
"Then wait for half a month, and it's only twenty days. Larry Page shrugged, "To be honest, compared to the two sides, there is no doubt that Xinghai Technology will be the top priority. ”
Feng Yiming nodded in understanding.
The storm caused by the reborn butterfly has become more and more intense, and it has even blown to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
In his previous life, after Jobs launched his first smartphone, he had been selling in the United States, and it was not until the first half of 2009 that the iPhone 3G entered Chinese mainland through the channel of China Unicom.
In this life, the cooperation between Zhanxiong Group and Google, Xinghai Technology, a Chinese mainland technology company, has deeply participated in the development and development of the Android system.
When Xinghai Technology became famous in Chinese mainland, this news was also widely circulated in the United States, although ordinary people do not care, but people in the mobile phone industry are quite concerned, everyone knows that the previous pyramid tip of this industry Motorola and Nokia can become the tip of the pyramid, China's unlimited potential market is indispensable.
What Google wants to do, everyone on earth knows!
Therefore, Apple hooked up with China Unicom earlier than in the previous life, and the two sides are dry wood and fire at the touch of a button.
At the beginning of this year, when Apple launched the 16GB version of the iphone, it reached an agreement with China Unicom, which has the right to sell the iphone in China, and when the official sale day, more than 200 consumers lined up in advance at the door, which once became a hot topic in the news.
Moreover, China Unicom also officially announced that after Apple officially launched the iPhone 3G at the end of this year, it will also enter the Chinese mainland market through China Unicom's channels.
Just for this matter, Wu Zhen was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and scolded those bastards for being "rather with friends", which is simply not to be forced, and the R&D team of Xinghai Technology wants to return to China in advance There are also factors in this regard.
Compared with the development of Xinghai Technology's first smartphone to promote the Android system as soon as possible, Schmidt's small request is really not a big deal.
However, Feng Yiming sat there quietly, slowly drank the cup of coffee, and changed the topic with a smile, "It is said that Shirley has made drastic changes and done a very good job after taking office. ”
"Of course, she could have gone one step further at Google. Larry Page didn't bring up the topic earlier, "The only question is how long Mark Zagerberg will be dormant." ”
"Mark is a genius, but his management skills are much inferior to his skills and creativity. Feng Yiming shook his head and said: "According to the current development speed of Facebook, it should be able to complete the listing within three or four years, and by that time, I think Mark will not be stingy with that bit of equity." ”
"Oh, unimaginable. Larry Page also shook his head, "You know, in Silicon Valley, a woman's career ceiling is seen by everyone, and it is very, very rare to be on the boardroom." ”
That's why she left Google and went to Facebook. ”
Larry Page snorted, "I don't seem to have seen that Wu ...... in the past few days."
"I don't see him very often, but at least I'm sure Shirley doesn't have time to talk to him right now. Feng Yiming shrugged, got up and said, "I'll go back to the hotel, there will be a video conference later, after all, it's been more than a month since I arrived in the United States." ”
Going downstairs and strolling along the path specially set up in the middle of the lawn, Feng Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, if Larry Page had to discuss that topic just now, he really didn't have anything to say.
Google's business in Chinese mainland has been severely restricted for more than a year, and this restriction has been mainly focused on the search business.
At the end of last year, Google's search results were exposed to contain colored (anti-harmony) information, which led to the rapid growth of Google's search business in China.
But the good times didn't last long, and at the beginning of this year, the relevant domestic authorities carried out a high-density filtering and censorship system on Google, and even officially put the topic of copyright infringement controversy due to the scanning of books on the table.
As a result, Google has had to temporarily accept the filtering and censorship system of the relevant authorities, but it has been privately working on public relations in various directions.
In the previous life, Google fought with relevant departments for this kind of, and even the diplomatic spokesmen of China and the United States shouted in the air, but in the end, Google China still had to hide in the Xiangjiang River.
Where is Feng Yiming willing to make a fuss about this matter, not to mention that he will have a quarrel with Qiandu, just the surname Li puts on the word national brand, Feng Yiming has no room to fight back.
