Google Headquarters, California, Silicon Valley, USA.

It's already eleven o'clock at night, the lights are still on in the office of Google's president, and half of the computer screen in front of Eric Schmidt is showing the details of the auction of Star Technology's smart home products, and the other half is playing the video of Wang Shizi's demonstration of smart home at the first product launch conference of Star Technology.

Like Star Technology, he is not interested in the auction amount of more than 3 billion yuan, and he is more interested in the product itself. No, it should be said that behind this product, Star Technology has shown amazing R&D capabilities.

Eric Schmidt is an ambitious entrepreneur. This can be seen from his dazzling investments of all kinds of inconsistencies. Make a lot of money from search engine advertising, and then invest that money in cutting-edge technologies that may not bring Google a penny for the time being.

For example, artificial intelligence, such as driverless cars, such as Android, such as virtual reality, such as quantum computers, and so on, and so on.

Eric Schmidt enjoyed this kind of investment before, because these investments ensure the vigorous vitality of Google, although Google does not get much benefit from these investments, but everyone knows that these investments are in line with the future direction of science and technology, even in his generation, these studies can not yield corresponding results, but Eric Schmidt firmly believes that in the near future, these investments will become Google's ability to dominate the future and become a veritable world's first high-tech company high-quality capital.

However, after the advent of Star Technology, he no longer thinks so.

If Eric Schmidt was only wary and worried about China's high-tech enterprises when Wang Shizi founded the Tang Dynasty, then now when he looks at the products released by Star Technology, what he feels is a chill, a bone-chilling cold, and a threat that he has to face.

Google's Android system has been completely replaced by the Shizi intelligent system, and now the entire Android system has hundreds of R&D personnel. Now there are only single digits left.

Driverless car technology has been tested by flying car technology, and if it cannot occupy a certain position in the flying car in the future, the investment will be lost.

Virtual reality technology used to be one of Google's proudest technologies, but now Star Technology's smart home products have proved that they have left Google far behind in this technology, and the two sides are at least 3 generations apart.

As for artificial intelligence? Well, through Wang Shizi's demonstration of smart home, Eric Schmidt can smell that this product has a hint of intelligence, and what is even more terrifying is that Wang Shizi has shown the "T program" before, and compared with the "T program". To put it bluntly, the AI technology developed by all the companies in the world at this stage is a joke, although Google was once at the forefront of this technology.

Well, although so far, except for Wang Shizi and the unnamed R&D team, no one in the world knows whether the "T program" is real, but Eric Schmidt is paranoid that Star Technology must have this technology in his hands, and it has not been officially announced, but the young man feels that it is not yet time to announce it.

These are still on the second side. What worries Eric Schmidt the most is Google's main business, search engine technology.

Once technology touches that door, the turnover is quite fast.

This set of smart home products from Star Technology has sounded the alarm for him. The popularity of this set of products was not surprising to him, and he was not surprised that it fetched a sky-high price. The question he is thinking about now is: How long will it take for this device to reach real mass production. Instead of selling 10,000 units a year as it is now.

This is a very real problem before Google.

Smart home products to replace PC is the trend, anyone can see, then the search engine that used to rely on PC and wireless terminal to survive is not embedded in this product, the future will gradually decline. This is also predictable.

And when Google loses its huge advantage in search engines, it means that Google will lose a large part of its advertising costs, which means that Google will not have the high-quality customers and cash flow that it was once proud of. This is the truly catastrophic blow to Google.

Although the smart home launched by Star Technology is only a set of products, its meaning is completely different in the eyes of this technology tycoon. The virtual mall function provided by smart home can completely replace the current search engine technology in the future, and it is conceivable that in the future, if people can enjoy the fun of shopping in reality without leaving home, in addition to the huge impact on the physical store, it will attract countless businesses. At that time, Star Technology only needs to embed its own search technology in it, and it will definitely have a greater advantage than all traditional search engines.

Eric Schmidt is fully convinced that Star Technology has the technical strength to develop his own search engine technology adapted to the future of virtual reality, and when that day does come, it will be a disaster for Google. Although in the current situation, perhaps this day is still far away, after all, the current price of smart home is destined to be impossible to promote on a large scale for the time being, but who knows what the young man in Huaxia thinks?

What's more, in the field of electronic products, it is very fast to increase production and reduce costs, maybe it will only take a few years, and then this product will be able to enter thousands of households, and where should Google go at that time?

I made a special call to Wang Shizi to discuss cooperation in autonomous driving, but it was actually just a trial. It is also the reason why he did not bargain at all after Wang Shizi put forward the conditions, but only took the initiative to ask to meet Wang Shizi. After seeing this press conference, Eric Schmidt suddenly felt that his meeting with Wang Shizi should have been advanced......

Thinking of this, Eric Schmidt directly pressed the communicator on his desk, "Ellie, help me arrange a special plane to Huaxia Capital tomorrow morning, and contact Star Technology, I will make a special trip to visit Mr. Wang of Huaxia Star Technology the day after tomorrow, well, there is no need to hide the itinerary from the public." ”

After making the decision, Eric Schmidt did not feel relaxed, on the contrary, his brow furrowed a little tighter.

……

At about the same time, many of the world's high-tech bigwigs, who were still on the sidelines, made similar arrangements after getting into the same predicament as Eric Schmidt.

For example, Apple's Tim Cook, such as Microsoft's current president, Stephen Elop, and one of the world's hardware gurus, Intel's Renee James.

In this case, it seems that Samsung's Lee Jae-young is going to the capital again to look less noticeable. (To be continued.) )
