Silicon Valley!

Silicon Valley, as it is traditionally called, is a narrow strip of land nearly 50 kilometers from San Francisco to San Jose via Santa Clara, California. It is an important electronics industry base in the United States and the most well-known electronics industry in the world.

It is a new industrial area with more than a dozen universities and thousands of high-tech companies. It is the birthplace of new technologies and high-tech products such as laser technology, microprocessors, video amusement machines, home computers, wireless telephones, and pocket computers. It is the world's largest producer of computers and computer software. Because the main material used to make electronic components is semiconductor silicon, this industrial area is called "Silicon Valley".

Many business miracles and technological miracles were born here.

In the eyes of many young people who dream of starting a business, this is also a holy place, just like Andy Rubin.

He and his team rented a cramped warehouse here as a company, and worked on their Android system every day with full energy, hoping to one day become a second Microsoft, Google, Yahoo...... On this day, he rode his bicycle to work as always, but he didn't expect to see a number of luxury cars parked there outside the warehouse.

"Hey, Andy, you're finally here. Why is the phone turned off, do you want to die? A short and fat white man rushed out of it, yelling at Andy Rubin, who was wiping his glasses.

"What's wrong, Doug?" He hurriedly put down the tattered bicycle for more than a dozen dollars and rushed into the company.

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing, haven't you been looking for research funding for a long time, and now the problem is solved. We're being fancied, you know who it is. Oh no, don't waste time, you can't guess who. Doug said a lot like a black man, but he was clearly white.

Andy Rubin, who was confused, naturally didn't know what he was talking about, until he walked into the company, and suddenly found that there was a big star sitting inside. And a few otaku who were supposed to sit in front of the computer were all around like looking at God at the moment. The atmosphere did not dare to come out.

It's Kate Beckinsale, she, isn't she pregnant? I actually ran to Silicon Valley.

"Hello, Andy Rubin, you made everyone wait for you for an hour." A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked out imposingly and shook hands with him. "Introduce myself, my name is Donnie O'Clein, and this is ......"

"Yes, Miss Kate Beckinsale, it's an honor to meet you." Andy Rubin also instantly became a little fan, and he was at a loss to say hello.

Kate smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Hello Andy." I also hear about you from others. I was curious to come and take a look. ”

Donnie was speechless and said, "I'm here to negotiate with you about the acquisition on behalf of Tiandu Angel Investment Company?" ”

“…… Tiandu Investment Company, what is that? ”

To put it simply, it is Mr. Chen Tiandu's personal investment company, which includes Google. My boss is very interested in the Android system that you are working on, and we understand that you are looking for large companies to buy to continue to provide your research funding issues, right? Who is your first seller? South Korea's Samsung? ”

The crowd is all Spartan, what else can they say. People probably have even investigated the color of their bottoms.

"There's no need to go to South Korea now, and even if you go, you won't necessarily get a good harvest......" Donnie chirped in a crooked way, in short, the purpose was to make them stunned, but it was easy to bargain. Finally explained clearly, everyone is still like a dream, their dream is about to come true?

Kate said: "Although I am just bored and curious, I still want to know what the purpose of your research is the Android system." What is the role and can anyone explain it to me? ”

"When...... Of course. ”

Andy Rubin finally calmed down and talked about his professional problems, which restored the qualities of an elite talent. It also gave Donny and Kate a little more confidence in their hearts. Downey was completely on orders, and Kate was curious, in fact, she was also confused about the acquisition that Chen Tiandu had designated to win.

Andy said: "By today's standards, all the phones on the market today don't have smart programs, and operators can not only decide which apps to use on their phones, but even control the search results when they use their phones. ”

"At the same time, almost all phones on the market run different operating systems, and apps for Nokia phones usually can't be installed on Samsung or Motorola phones. The incompatibility of applications has also made developers shy away from mobile platforms, but there are still some developers who are committed to developing applications for different mobile phones, and an application usually requires more than 100 versions to be written for different mobile phones, which is a very large workload. And the purpose of our company's research is to change everything that exists. ”

"We started the work of creating an operating system for mobile phones on the basis of a digital camera system, which we call the intelligence of mobile phones. And this system, we call it Android......"

Andy-Milk N was previously a robotics engineer at Carl Zeiss, a well-known optical device manufacturer, before working on the operating system of handheld devices.

With his extensive experience, Andy-Milk N was supported by other engineers, which is why he was able to officially launch the Android program in 2003. However, due to the lack of support from large companies, after only half a year of research, the Android program experienced a severe shortage of funds and manpower. If you want to continue research, you must find a big boss who is well-funded and interested in the project.

Their first choice is indeed South Korea's Samsung, after all, they think that "foreigners are stupid and have a lot of money", and Koreans may want a little better money. But before he could make the trip, he was blocked at home by Chen Tiandu.

He explained a lot, a lot of technical vocabulary, and Donnie also heard it in a fog, completely ignorant of what to do.

But Kate understood a little, he knew that Chen Tiandu had a very precious mobile phone, which was different from all the mobile phones on the market, and she thought it was a high-tech product in China. But after learning about Chen Tiandu's family, he was even more puzzled.

But she has no interest in getting to the bottom of it, and out of politeness, she never looks through her boyfriend's phone.

Now think about it, maybe a phone is just to have a similar mobile operating system. And what Chen Tiandu has in his hand is obviously more comprehensive than Andy's mouth.

It is completely a mobile phone of a computer, with an operating system, middleware, user interface, and application software.

The so-called well-informed, probably just like her. A thought suddenly came to my heart, maybe my boyfriend's mobile phone is an amazing technology product, could it be that he developed it himself?

With distractions in my heart, I can't listen to Andy's introduction.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and this business will naturally be successfully achieved.

Chen Tiandu re-funded and took away 85% of the shares of the entire project, leaving only 15% for the R&D personnel. But they could get a life-changing dollar and another promising field of research.

After receiving the news, Chen Tiandu called Andy Rubin, and the two sides talked for a long time, and finally suggested that the company should be reorganized and expanded, and officially switch from the research of mobile phone intelligent systems to the independent research of smart phones. His first research grant to the company was $100 million, and he ordered Downey to oversee the establishment of Matrix Technologies.

Andy Rubin's life was turned upside down, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout Silicon Valley that Android was injected with a new $100 million in research funding.

"Another Silicon Valley legend is born." The media summed up the whole event with such headlines.

But as the report deepened, they suddenly discovered that the person who injected capital into the Android company was actually the investment company of the new billionaire Chen Tiandu, and they all exploded.

"What is Chen Tiandu going to do, picking up rags in Silicon Valley, it is impossible for him to pick up a second 'Google', and there is only one Google myth in the world."

"Android, what is that, a system written for a mobile phone, and a mobile phone still needs a system? The lies of a madman. ”

Another project favored by investors in Silicon Valley was born, and it is also the world's top billionaire Chen Tiandu, who is in the limelight. With the Google myth, he rose to the altar of the investment world in one fell swoop. Now that it is shot again, this cannot but be concerned.

Android Company, the predecessor of Matrix Technology, has also been interpreted by all parties.

It can only be said that it is very promising, and no one has imagined it, but no one knows whether it will succeed. Anyway, Chen Tiandu now has money, maybe it's just a net he spilled out casually.

Chen Tiandu didn't expect that just making an investment casually would attract so much attention and discussion. Now that it's been made public, simply make it bigger. While filming, he commanded remotely, and the next action he made made Google's entire eyelids jump.

He actually dug into the corner of his house and transferred Shirley Sandberg, then Google's vice president of global online sales and operations, to serve as CEO of his new toy matrix technology company. This move also caused Google's stock to fall by 2% on the same day, causing Chen Tiandu's fortune to evaporate hundreds of millions, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Google's board of directors has a lot of complaints about this, but Chen Tiandu is doing everything above board, if he changes to another company, at most it will be digging into the wall and changing jobs, but Google needs to find a new vice president of sales for itself. (To be continued.) )
