Chapter 240: Paving the Way for the Future
The sun was waving unscrupulously in the sky, and through the gaps in the leaves, a chaise longue was shaking rhythmically, lying on it was a very young man, with steaming tea on the side, and soothing music was playing, this was Lin Fan, who was living his old life.
It's just that the villa in Huaxia has been replaced here, this is the villa that Lin Fan just bought, because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have had problems one after another, and the real estate industry in the entire American market has encountered a crisis, Lin Fan is not losing money now, compared to the low price in the heyday, at least about 30% depreciation, Lin Fan paid less than one million to own a villa in San Francisco Bay.
"How about that neurotic speech you said?" Chu Chu walked out of the room with a plate of fruit, Lin Fan sighed Chu Chu's carefulness, and each piece of fruit had bamboo sticks inserted on it, "Ah Bing, if you say this and are heard by others, we will be scolded miserably." ”
"But isn't that what you said?"
"My exact words are that geniuses are all insane. ”
Chu Chu was noncommittal, she was not interested in this issue. What she is interested in is that Lin Fan accompanies her more, even if she doesn't do anything, Lin Fan sleeps, she reads a book on the side, she will feel extremely happy.
"Homesick?" Lin Fan sensed that something was wrong with Chu Chu's emotions.
"Nope. Chu Chu stood up and leaned against the big tree, "I just feel that the pace of life here is very slow, and people can't help but want to relax." Yanjing is too prosperous and too busy, just like my parents, but a professor is too busy to keep his feet on the ground. ”
"That's where you live, and if you lived in a slum, you wouldn't have thought like that. Human beings, it is often the butt that decides the head. ”
"Are you saying I'm hypocritical?"
Lin Fan still felt the rhythm of the recliner swaying, "Actually, I don't feel bad about being busy, so that people can make progress, which is also the only way to realize self-worth." ”
Chu Chu couldn't stand Lin Fan's appearance of being old and seeming everything, but he was obviously a twenty-year-old man but pretended to be fifty.
"Ah, why are you screwing me?"
"There's no reason why girls want to do something, don't you know?"
Hey, Lin Fan was speechless, but Lin Fan's Ah Q spirit immediately came into play, thinking about how he treated Chu Chu in bed, blue skin, hard impact, Chu Chu just screwed himself, didn't he make a lot of money? Just when Lin Fan was comforting himself, the mobile phone suddenly remembered, Lin Fan looked at the phone, and couldn't help laughing, he had been looking forward to this call for a long time......
What is the best meal in Silicon Valley? Of course, it is Google's working meal, which means that you are an employee of one of the world's top 10 Internet companies.
Andy Rubin was about to invite Lin Fan to eat the working meal of the Android company, Andy sent out the invitation without any hesitation, and Lin Fan agreed without any hesitation, so Lin Fan appeared at the Android company on time.
When Lin Fan saw one more person, he was not surprised, and still greeted him very calmly, "Andy, if you think that if you invite me to a working meal, I will think that you are a person who uses investors' funds diligently, then you are very likely to fail." ”
"Well, Lin, it's not at all the same as I thought of the opening statement, I thought you would give me some advice, no matter how bad it sounded, some nice-sounding compliments. ”
"The meal looks good. ”
Andy smiled helplessly, shrugging his shoulders helplessly at the other person, who smiled and said, "Mr. Lin is a very interesting person, this is the most harmonious investor and entrepreneur I have ever met. ”
"Andy, who is this?"
"Introduce yourself, Larry Page, you can call me Larry, it's nice to meet you, Lin. Larry stretched out his hand, and Lin Fan shook it directly, "CEO of Google, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"Just as I didn't expect to see Mr. Lin again, when I think about it, Mr. Lin seems to have an inexplicable fate with Google, which is the case with YouTube, and now Android is also like this. ”
Larry's words not only explained his intentions, but also tempted, Lin Fan did not be tactful, but went straight to the point, "Actually, I expected Google to come, but I didn't expect Mr. Larry to come in person." ”
"Oh?" This can't help but Larry Page is not curious, if Lin Fan really guessed Google's intention, this proves that Lin Fan is ready to open his mouth.
Lin Fan blinked, "I also went to Apple's press conference, and Jobs's speech was very exciting." ”
Well, this sentence made all Larry's luck disappear, and the young man in front of him, Larry Page, will not despise it, in the United States far more than in China, a young man who became a billionaire from scratch at the age of twenty, and even took $500 million from Google, which is enough to treat himself equally.
"I wonder why God would fall in favor of a heathen. ”
"I agreed to transfer my stake in Android to Google for a negotiable price. ”
"Really?" Larry couldn't help but lose his temper, this is the purpose of his trip, he and Sergey have recognized the urgency of boycotting the IOS system, so they quickly looked for a company in the United States that has developed intelligent systems, and the details of the Android company appeared on Google's desk, but I didn't expect the equity of Android to be concentrated in the hands of two people, but I didn't expect the equity to be so easy to get into hand.
Lin Fan smiled, "I don't dare to tease Google's CEO, but I also have one condition." ”
"OK, it's easy to talk about money. ”
Larry Page said directly, and Andy Rubin did not react, obviously persuaded by Larry Page a long time ago, but this result is not unexpected, after all, it was an olive branch thrown by Google, and in his previous life, Andy Rubin also accepted Google's acquisition and then became Google's vice president.
"Larry, I don't want money, I'm not short of money, I want a promise from Google. ”
"Oh?"
Lin Fan went straight to the point, "When the Android system is successfully developed, I hope that every Android system will have mortal products installed." ”
Larry Page's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring straight at Lin Fan, Lin Fan could only pretend to look at Larry Page calmly, in fact, Lin Fan's heart is also very empty, as long as Andy Rubin and Google are in love, they can abandon the existing Android company and start anew, Lin Fan can find trouble, but this is not what Lin Fan wants.
Lin Fan can think of Larry Page can also think of it, it can be said that as long as the Android system can be successfully developed, it will be a fat and tender white sheep, and then it will get countless income every year just by advertising fees, at this time, Google has not yet taken out the idea of Android for free.
"Do you have any other conditions besides this, such as the right to receive advertising shares?"
"No, I only have this one condition, so that mortal products can appear in the Android system, and in the future, all manufacturers who use the Android system must install mortal products inside. Lin Fan's tone was firm.
Larry didn't muse again this time, "If we can, I hope we can sign a contract right away." ”
"Gladly. ”
