Chapter 320: Pomp

"Page, Schmidt, Google's strategy is clear to me, your acquisition of Android is not necessarily a very clear application plan, but more of a technology hoarding habit in Page - or to put it mildly, it is called a technology investment habit. However, you should understand that this operating system has great potential, and the impact of smartphones on the times will also be greater than we imagined. If you had the opportunity to talk to Steve Jobs, you might have more understanding – if he knew everything. Apple is developing its own mobile operating system, which is bound to be a very efficient and superior system, plus their technical reserves in personal computers, tablets, music players, even from now on, Google, F2F, MB, no one has the ability to compete with Apple - but if we don't start now, we will completely abandon the future. ”

Since Daniel has no intention of directly intervening in this market, he will inevitably need to tell Google what the future of Android is.

Google and F2F's executives met secretly for 4 hours, and it quickly became known that as the two most talked-about companies in the era of new Internet wealth creation, their every move was in the eyes of those who care.

The Wall Street Journal clearly has a heart.

"Yesterday, Google founder Larry. Page and the company's CEO, Eric Brown. Schmidt, and F2F CEO Mark Brown. Vaughn met behind closed doors for four hours. It is reported that the chairman of F2F's parent company, Plutos Investment Company, and Hollywood legend Daniel. Sandler is also currently in Silicon Valley, handling corporate matters. It is unknown whether he attended this meeting, but apparently Page chose the current time to talk to Mark, definitely considering Daniel, who has just returned from Africa, and the need to involve Daniel's topic should not be a small move for the company.

Currently, F2F and Google are in agreement to acquire Silicon Valley's well-known technology expert Andy. Rubin's new company is in competition, and it is possible that they will coordinate this. The reporter asked a spokesman for Android, and he said that Android did not have the relevant information. But keep an eye on it. If Google and F2F were to coordinate the purchase price, they could be in violation of federal law.

Spokespeople for both Google and F2F declined to comment on the matter. ”

……

Daniel sincerely briefed Page and Schmidt, including Mark, about the measures and their significance. Develop an Android mobile phone operating system and form a strict mobile phone alliance to counter the smartphones being developed by traditional mobile phone manufacturers and Apple. Adopt an authorized, semi-open source strategy to win over the majority of partners.

It is important to adopt certain rules, and Android's success lies in its open source. But its dead end also lies in open source. Lacking preparation for this, a multitude of personalized Android systems leads to conflicts, attacks, and attrition, which is not Google's original intention, which wants to pull together a powerful alliance and fundamentally set a rule. But Apple's tenacity and Android's chaos and insecurity have halted this effort.

Daniel wants to avoid these problems, and he needs to be a little faster.

Apple launched its own smartphone in 2007, but the first Android phone, the T-MobileG1, was not launched in the United States until September 2008, and HTC had no way to compete with Apple.

It was a remark that rightly left everyone in the room to think deeply – the speaker had just seized a whole new frontier of the Internet, so it deserved attention.

……

"Did you have a meeting with Google?"

"Daniel, do you have a response to Darren's complaints?"

"Daniel. Is F2F considering going public? ”

"MGM will appoint a new CEO, right? Will you take on the role of MGM yourself? ”

Daniel, who returned to Los Angeles, was faced with such a scene, like a tree stump, and the outermost layer of "annual rings" were ordinary passengers and onlookers at the airport, then Daniel's fans, then dozens of security personnel at the airport, and then nearly 100 media reporters, including large media such as the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press, as well as a large number of paparazzi and tabloid reporters, in short, a large number. It's like a press center for a big event. Among these reporters is Daniel's own security team, which includes more than 20 people hired on a temporary basis, in addition to the eight people he has hired for a long time. Miller and Sally were close to him - well, at least Miller was protecting him.

Daniel wears a mask, a baseball cap, sunglasses...... Anyway, you can't get anything in the camera except for two ears.

The reporter persistently pursued the questions.

From "The Immortal Gardener" to Dalen and Rachel's relationship, from Google to F2F's go-to-market plans, from MGM's production plans to the new management team, from DD Animation to the outlook for the new film "King Kong" with Weta Digital's involvement. From Daniel's enrollment to the "Leave Daniel" campaign that spreads to the boiling heat...... In short, Daniel's ears are flooded with countless questions, all aspects, scandals, serious questions, entertainment, the Internet, and so on.

"Thank you, thank you, stay safe."

Aside from these two sentences, Miller, Sally, and Daniel have nothing to say.

Thirty big men like the Black Tower can still give him some sense of security.

……

"Who is that?"

On one side of the airport, three Asian faces, apparently a family, daughter and parents, pushed a large number of salutes, questioned the mother, speaking Chinese with an accent.

"It's supposed to be some big star, right? Mao Xi and Yang Yuying came out at that time, and they were also like this. ”

The daughter listened carefully, and the fans screamed "Daniel, Daniel......"

"Dan-Nir-El?" The daughter frowned and thought for a while, "I don't know anything about European and American stars, Daniel what?" ”

"Daniel. Sandler. Dad laughed and guessed, "The last time I watched Pirates of the Caribbean, wasn't that Captain Jack Daniel. Did Sandler act? It is said that the world has taken 7 or 800 million dollars. That's got to be a big star. ”

"It can't be." I stood on tiptoe and looked, but unfortunately there were too many people to see at all, and they moved very fast.

"It doesn't matter if he's not, Lao Lin, hurry up, your sister is in a hurry."

The family who sent their daughter to study in the United States hurriedly pushed their luggage out of the airport, just in time to see more than a dozen black cars driving away, scattered media and fans, and relieved airport security personnel.

"Here."

A beautiful woman with long hair was waving at them, and Daniel would have recognized her if he could see her.

……

Although Daniel always has to go through a big battle every time he comes out of the international airport, this time the scale is particularly scary.

Even Miller breathed a sigh of relief when he got into the car, and if there was a problem just now, such as stepping on, or being broken through the defense line, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But the media can't be blamed for that.

Although Daniel has been filming in Kenya and Europe for two months, there are so many things to do with him.

F2F was rumored to be pushing for a listing a few weeks ago, and an investment manager at Morgan Stanley, Google's main reseller, even came out to say that the two sides were discussing the issue. Although the spokesman denied this claim, what Daniel said was certainly more credible and more eye-catching. In addition, it is rumored that the relationship between MB and F2F under Plutos has deteriorated due to increased competition, and Daniel is accused of favoring his own son "F2F".

MGM has been released in the United States and the European Union one after another, and then MGM will definitely change management, whether David of DD Pictures will directly take the position, or choose someone else. Even though Daniel has denied the possibility of taking up his position, it is not impossible for Daniel to change his mind as times change and things may change.

In addition, Darren. In a promotional post for "The Fountain of Love", Aronofsky complained about Rachel's pregnancy work, alluding to Daniel's failure to take care of Rachel's health. Of course, this also makes the paparazzi enthusiastic, and it is best to have a sparkling fight and then pull Natalie. Portman, that's all together.

In short, everyone wants to get a sentence or two out of Daniel's mouth, and then expand it into an eye-catching report.

He will not spend more than half a month in Los Angeles, and the itinerary is very tight. Of course, he is not the only one, the director of "The Immortal Gardener", Fernando. The same is true of Merrils, who was invited to the Venice Film Festival, and even if the full version of the film was submitted at the last minute, it was less than a month away, and the elder Draco, Claire, and him had to work overtime to get the finished film out.

"What time is MGM's press conference the day after tomorrow?"

Daniel asked Sally with a frown.

"Ten o'clock in the morning, about an hour and a half." (To be continued.) )
