"Rachel. Vichy returned to Los Angeles from Kenya dressed loosely to cover her pregnant belly. Boyfriend Darren. Aronofsky did not go to the airport to pick him up, and the agent was responsible for the whole process. But Rachel's expression was pleasant, which seemed to indicate that there was no conflict between the two. Although Rachel continued to work even after she became pregnant, Darren was quite dissatisfied. But the arrival of a new life bridges the differences between the two sides. ”

"The Immortal Gardener crew returned to Los Angeles from Kenya but didn't see Daniel. Sandler's figure. Rachel said she had other travel arrangements and was not on the same flight as them. ”

Daniel was photographed at San Jose International Airport, suspected to be heading to Silicon Valley. Clearly, Daniel, who has been away from the United States for nearly two months, needs to finish the legacy work of his two social media companies as soon as possible before the start of the new semester. ”

"The crew of "The Immortal Gardener" was completed a few days ago, and most of the crew members have returned to Los Angeles. Yesterday, the European Union officially approved the case of DD Pictures' acquisition of MGM. DD Pictures replaced MGM as one of the seven new members of Hollywood – the first time in years that a new player has emerged within the group. MGM's new management and next steps are in the spotlight, and Daniel expects to make a decision on this before starting his second year of study. ”

……

"Wow, why are you like this?"

Mark. Vaughn entertained Daniel in his office, and F2F has grown exponentially over the past period of time, with potential and growth expectations surpassing that of MB. People magazine interviewed Mark -- "Mark . . . Vaughn - the protagonist of "The Social Network", the master of the social age", Mark became one of the most high-profile CEOs in the whole of America.

It took about half a day to listen to a presentation by Mark and Sandberg on the company's development.

"It's good, I've been pleasantly surprised by the pace of F2F's expansion, and it's important. You're already thinking about making a profit, and even though you're not even making ends meet, you still need to get enough money for development through financing channels and Plutos. But that's a matter of early consideration, the better, though. Let's not follow in the footsteps of MB in implementation, user experience is obviously still important, and implementation, it has always been very important. ”

"I have two things, the first one, Andy. Rubin, how's it going? ”

"We did reach out to the company and made it clear that we were interested in investing. conAd1(); However, according to our observations, they should have other options, most likely - Google. Google also wants to acquire it. Two days ago, Eric . Schmidt personally spoke to me on the phone to communicate the matter. So, it's really Google, and Google has taken a fancy to this company as well. ”

Mark was a little unnatural when he talked about his old club, but that's it.

Andy. Rubin is not a name that is familiar to the average person, but. The company and system he created almost changed the world - Android!

This smart operating system, which will compete with Apple's iOS, has only been established for 20 months. It hasn't attracted enough attention yet, and in fact, Android at this time and Android in the future are not exactly the same thing. After Google acquired Android, it made a lot of technical investment and research and development on it.

From the beginning, Daniel didn't think about taking Android, he just wanted to get involved.

and Andy. Rubin's negotiations are intended to give him more options or force Google to consider including F2F in the scope of the partnership.

Daniel didn't make it too clear when he told Mark to do this. In fact, it's not quite clear, "This could be a great operating system to run on a mobile phone." An open operating system that can make mobile phones more colorful. It's going to change the world and change the habits of most people. If all goes well. ”

"Smartphones?"

Daniel nodded, "What Apple is doing is developing its own smartphones and relatively open systems. Some of the patents that IMP sold to them before would be used for this work, and they've been doing it for more than a year. Now Google obviously sees it too, probably, the greatness of this market. ”

"You're going to get involved."

Mark. Vaughn's face was plainly written with disapproval. conAd2();

If you create DD Pictures, invest in Weta Digital, acquire MGM, and expand the DD animation department, it is Daniel's own investment. From the previous Blogger, to MB, to Google, Apple, and now F2F, it can be regarded as Daniel's talent investment, and he was born to achieve great things in Silicon Valley.

But now that it continues to be involved in the field of mobile phone manufacturing, the span is quite large. The design and manufacturing capabilities of electronic products are not in the same ecosystem as the Internet.

At this point, Daniel of course understands that even in the future, Internet companies are not opponents of electronic companies at all when they make mobile phones across borders, and even the reason why they can do this is only the refinement of the market division of labor, so that the manufacturing capacity is independent, such as the existence of Foxconn, in addition, the low-end mobile phone manufacturing technology began to rot on the street, which also gave them an excuse to be able to deceive people.

"You're right, I have no intention of getting deeply involved, but we must not be absent from this era." Daniel decided to reveal a little bit of tone, "Mark, I don't know if you believe that, but what I can tell you is that smartphones will replace personal computers as the largest access terminal to the Internet, and every industry, including social media, will rely on mobile business." We have to get into it at the beginning! ”

Looking at Mark's shocked eyes, Daniel didn't stop, "I can tell you very clearly that if we can't get involved this time, I'll consider looking for a mobile phone manufacturer to work with and get involved directly." No matter how risky it is, it's better than not doing it. This era is full of opportunities, but also of mistakes and regrets. Mark, we can't be those who regret it. ”

……

The meeting with Schmidt and Page was quickly arranged, and on Daniel's third day in Mountain View, the two sides finalized the time and place of the meeting.

"Daniel, you're Google's third-largest individual shareholder, even more than Schmidt's, and Mark is the seventh-largest individual shareholder, and now you're holding back the company's growth, and I don't understand the reason for your and Andy's foundation."

"Paige, you shouldn't be so angry. conAd3(); Daniel looked relaxed, "I just came back from Kenya, and it's a great place to travel and relax. Maybe you should go there for a few weeks to soothe your mind. (To be continued)
