The meeting with Akiyama Baihe was ideal, and Lin Zheng didn't expect to be able to finalize such a big thing in one meeting, and then the two tacitly avoided this point, and they were actually able to chat very happily.

"Lin, is that phone important to you?" On the way back, Moros raised her head and asked Lin Zheng, her eyes sparkling.

"How can I say it......" Lin Zheng frowned, organized the wording, and said slowly after a while: "Let's put it this way, if ICQ is a listed company, then this news can increase the market value of ICQ by at least 10%, and if the final cooperation can be reached, the stock price may be able to double directly." ”

In no more direct way to describe it, Morosden understood the importance of this cooperation to Lin Zheng, and his big eyes became brighter and brighter: "Is the handheld computer also so important?" ”

According to Lin Zheng's previous requirements, this handheld computer designed based on the operating software developed by Moros is to have a built-in modem of 9.6Kbps rate, and only if this handheld computer can access the Internet can it be built-in ICQ, otherwise what is the use of built-in ICQ?

"It's very important," Lin Zheng nodded, thought about it, and added: "But in fact, I prefer this to be a smartphone that can realize all the functions of a handheld computer, but can make calls and send text messages like an ordinary mobile phone." ”

"It's just a smart product that combines the functions of a handheld computer and a mobile phone, I understand." Moros nodded repeatedly, "I think I might be able to give it a try." ”

"Try it......" Lin Zheng was startled by Moros's words, and nodded with a smile after a while: "Okay." If you want to do this project, I can help you set up a development team, unlimited funds, unlimited number of people, do you dare to take on this task? ”

The world's first smartphone was the A6188 launched by Motorola in early 2000, and it took Motorola 4 years to develop this phone. It took more than $20 million in development funding to complete this groundbreaking work, and when the phone was launched, the world was stunned. Everyone suddenly realized: large-size handwritten graphic dot matrix STN-LCD LCD screen, intelligent operating system, powerful functions...... it! Can Nima dare to play like this on his mobile phone?

Don't look at the fruit fans of later generations who blew apples to the sky, but when it comes to innovation, Motorola in this era is the king of innovation, and the success of this product has also brought rich returns to Motorola. Successor products such as A6288 and 388 have made Motorola make a lot of money. Motorola smartphones have almost become synonymous with smartphones, compared with Motorola's series of products, the god machine Nokia has to bow down, if Moros really intends to develop smartphones, then it is absolutely not said, and this girl is thrown directly into the development team.

"Really?" Moros's eyes lit up!

"Really, if you're really going to play like this, write me a report when you get back. Elaborate on what you're going to do," Lin Zheng nodded. looked at her seriously: "But let's say it first, if you really plan to do this project, I won't see you as my adopted daughter, I will only see you as the leader of an engineering development team in my company, and at the same time, you can't delay your studies, do you think you can do it?" ”

Not only can't you delay work, but you can't delay your studies? Moros's face suddenly collapsed, but the next moment, just when Lin Zheng thought she would give up, the girl's face was already firm: "I believe I can do it!" ”

No way? This time, the person who was scared was replaced by Lin Zheng: Is this girl crazy?

…………………………………………

In the next few days, Lin Zheng and Benier kept in contact with the North American leaders of major mobile phone brands in Europe and Japan, although they have not finalized any partner because of excessive differences, but the results of the early contact are gratifying, after the ICQ company introduced the distribution of its users' customer base and the use of ICQ software to these mobile phone giants, almost without exception, all the giants are very interested in the implementation of ICQ mobile client functions on mobile phones. Even Siemens and Alcatel, who have deep pockets, made requests to Lin Zheng and Benier respectively to acquire ICQ, and of course, there is no doubt that this request was rejected: what a joke! As far as you know the value of ICQ, when we don't know it?

But although the early contact is gratifying, no one is a fool, seeing ICQ's behavior of casting such a wide net, these giants are keenly aware that this may be a good opportunity to sell at a price, and they began to wait and see for a while.

Benier, who finally realized that he had made a small mistake, sincerely apologized to Lin Zheng: "Boss, this is my mistake, I miscalculated the cunning of these guys......"

"It's okay, Lao Bei, you don't have to take it too seriously," Lin Zheng waved his hand, of course he knew what Lao Bei said, this mistake was not so much Lao Bei's mistake, but rather that his own experience was still a little insufficient. Such a sensible subordinate, who does he take care of if he doesn't take care of him? "Although they seem to be waiting for the price to sell, but after all, our company is the real technology exporter, we can afford to wait, the great thing is nothing more than that our ICQ mobile terminal appeared a year or two late, but can these guys afford to wait? If they are willing to watch Motorola make a lot of money and only have a mouthful of soup by themselves, then they are ruthless, as long as they want to pull Motorola down, cooperating with us is their simplest and most effective way. ”

Of course, Benier knew that what Lin Zheng said was very reasonable, but he also had his own worries, and said to Lin Zheng worriedly: "That's right, but boss, they can also develop their own ICQ." ”

From a technical point of view, there is really nothing difficult about ICQ, almost any software engineer can make one according to the cat, Benier's worry is not unreasonable, but Lin Zheng laughed when he heard it: "Lao Bei, you let me tell you what is good?" You're completely smart and confused...... Let me ask you, it has been a while since our ICQ appeared, and there are several similar instant chat software on the market, but why is it that only our ICQ has risen, and other instant chat software just can't develop? ”

Yes, since the emergence of ICQ, similar chat software on the market has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and Benier was worried that this ICQ would not be affected by the impact of instant chat software launched by other companies and lead to a decline in market share, but this matter is also strange, even if the instant chat software on the market has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but ICQ's status and development speed have not been affected at all. He admits that there are factors in this that the boss gave at the right time, but if it weren't for the boss's sudden question, Benier really didn't realize this: no, this situation is indeed a little unreasonable.

"I know," after thinking for a moment, Benier said slowly: "On the one hand, we can always innovate and continue to provide our users with newer and better user experience and more stable services. ”

"On the other hand, because of the user's behavioral inertia, users have inertia when using any product, and any account has accumulated the relationships, friends and even feelings they have accumulated during this time, as long as our product is used compared with before, there will be no greater experience decline, customers will not change their chat software lightly, we don't even have to do anything, even if it is just to maintain the previous program, the number of users will not decrease;"

"Finally, chatting, naturally the more people the better, we have a huge user base, this is our most valuable wealth, users can easily find their friends, with this huge base to drive, our users will naturally recommend ICQ to their friends, our total number of users will be like a snowball bigger and bigger......"

Speaking of this, Benier's eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he said the back, he even slapped the table excitedly: "I understand, boss, you are right, even if we don't do anything, we are invincible, don't look at these mobile phone giants now seem to be waiting for the price to sell, but it is they who are really anxious, now it depends on who takes the first step...... But if no one wants to take the first step, will we just wait? ”

Speaking of which, Benier is still a little unwilling.

"Of course we won't wait like this, since none of them want to come out, then we'll push them," Lin Zheng smiled, and the word "treacherous" was written all over his face: "Lao Bei, you say, if the news comes out at this time that Motorola is interested in ICQ and wants to cooperate with ICQ, what will happen to these guys?" ”

Motorola's news of ICQ has gotten out? Benier's eyes almost glowed, and he raised his thumb high: "High! It's really high! ”

When the news of Motorola's ICQ came out, Comrade Lao Bei didn't believe that these mobile phone giants who had been bullied by Motorola and had no way to survive could still endure it...... If I can really bear it, then I'm really convinced!

But then, a new question popped up: "But boss, Motorola's attitude doesn't seem to be very good before......" (to be continued......
