Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Visit to Google

On this trip to the United States, there were two people in total, Yang Lin and his secretary Bai Hua, and the remaining two people who had nothing to do with the game were Yang Ying's bodyguards Guo Jing and Liu Rong.

Fortunately, Yang Lin had already mentioned the matter of Bai Hua to Lin Qingya, and Lin Qingya was not surprised to see a beautiful woman suddenly next to Yang Lin at the airport.

After chatting for a while, the three girls found that they had a tacit understanding with each other, and they even changed seats and chatted when they were on the plane.

Bai Hua was more or less unable to let go at first, although she had also heard that Yang Lin and Lin Zhiguo's daughter had a good relationship, but when she saw Lin Qingya for the first time, she was still shocked by Lin Qingya's beauty.

However, Lin Qingya quickly showed her strong affinity, and after the three chatted for a while, Bai Hua gradually relaxed.

It takes nearly 15 hours to fly from the magic capital to Los Angeles, and it is already late afternoon local time in the United States.

Fortunately, the pick-up arrangement of the organizing committee was excellent, and after Yang Lin and the others came out of the airport, they quickly got on a bus of the organizing committee.

The organizing committee of this competition arranged for Lin Qingya and her to go to a four-star hotel near the Los Angeles International Convention and Exhibition Center, and Jiangcheng University sent three teachers to lead the team in this competition.

On the first day, everyone stayed on the plane for more than ten hours, and they didn't have much of the heart to enjoy the exotic scenery, so they went back to their rooms and fell asleep.

The next morning, after a night's rest, the crowd soon came back to life full of blood.

Since there were still two days before the opening of the competition, at the request of everyone, the three leading teachers decided to take Lin Qingya and them to visit Hollywood, which attracted worldwide attention, and walk the Avenue of Stars.

Yang Lin is not so relaxed, he is on a business trip this time, although it is only some ceremonial visits, but some necessary trips are still unavoidable.

For example, now he is rushing from Los Angeles to the Google headquarters in Mountain View on the south shore of San Francisco Bay, and he has a series of business trips with Google and Apple, and he has no time to watch Lin Qingya and her games.

However, Yang Lin is not too worried about whether Lin Qingya and them can win the championship.

During this year's winter vacation, Yang Lin also took a certain amount of time to help his sister improve the control program of the robot, and the effect was very good after getting on the machine.

Based on the experience of previous years, the Blue Phoenix team already has the level to win the championship.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if Yang Lin is in Los Angeles or not.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Yang Ying and her sisters set off for a visit to Hollywood, and Yang Lin said goodbye to his sister Yiyi and got on a helicopter specially sent by Google to pick him up to Mountain View in Silicon Valley.

It's 560 kilometers from Los Angeles to Silicon Valley, and it's nearly two hours by helicopter.

Yang Lin flew in an AW-139 medium-sized civil helicopter from Agusta, with a luxurious and comfortable cabin, almost no less than some civil airliners.

Although Yang Lin took a helicopter for the first time in reality, he never took any transportation in "Call of Duty 8", and even the latest American MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor was experienced once, and he didn't feel it at all.

On the contrary, Bai Hua was a little excited, and before getting on the plane, she asked Yang Lin to help her take a few photos with the helicopter.

After the plane took off, the two chatted in the cockpit.

After a while, Bai Hua suddenly turned his head to Yang Lin and said, "Mr. Yang, there is something I want to ask you about." ”

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, and wondered: "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Hua said: "I wonder if I can take a week off after this event, I still have some things to deal with in the United States." ”

Yang Lin was very accommodating at this point, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you remember to change the ticket and reimburse it when you go back to the company." ”

"Well, thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Birch smiled sweetly.

Flying in the air was monotonous and boring, but fortunately it didn't last long. Two hours later, AW139 had arrived over Google HQ Mountain View.

The pilot deliberately circled over Mountain View, allowing Yang Lin to have a good taste of the entire Google town, and then slowly stopped in front of the Google headquarters building.

Google's two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have been waiting below for a long time.

The helicopter's rotors slowly stopped, and Yang Lin jumped out of the plane and stepped forward to give Paige a Western-style hug

"Welcome, my friend!"

Page smiled.

"Mr. Page, long time no see!"

Yang Lin was also smiling.

Next, Yang Lin shook hands with Google executives such as Brin, Eli Schmid, and Corolla and said hello one by one.

Shirakaba worked as his personal interpreter to help him translate.

Subsequently, Yang Lin, led by Page and others, visited Google's headquarters.

Google is known for providing employees with a relaxed and free working environment, and has been ranked as one of the best places to work by employees in Silicon Valley for many years. It has top international chefs, provides employees with free three meals a day, it has massage rooms, yoga studios, swimming pools, gyms, cinemas, its employees can work anywhere in the company, as long as you complete your tasks, all kinds of crazy perks and perks make Google a mecca for almost all IT nerds.

Almost all of the 75,000 people in Mountain View, where Google is located, are Google employees.

Yang Lin had to sigh, this is the foundation of the top Internet companies, Matrix Digital is still a long way from Google.

In fact, there is no need for him to be presumptuous, and for Google, Matrix Digital is also very important.

You must know that since the launch of [Matrix Optimization], the reputation of the Android system has almost risen in a straight line, and the market share is gradually expanding.

Of course, this expansion is mainly based on squeezing the market for non-mainstream operating systems such as WP, like Apple's iOS, but with a very small decline.

But at this time, if there is no [Matrix Optimization], then users who are accustomed to a smooth experience will inevitably switch to the iOS camp.

They even learned from within Apple that during the initial negotiations, someone at Apple suggested that Cook stop Google's cooperation with Matrix Digital at all costs, and then compete for the Android market by launching a mid-range Apple phone.

It's just that this suggestion was not adopted in the end due to various factors, and even so, Page and the others were still scared into a cold sweat.

It is also for this reason that Yang Lin visited Google this time, and Page and others gave him such courtesy.

What's more, according to the performance of [Matrix Optimization 1.0] after its listing in China, Yang Lin can already be called an Internet upstart.
