It's opened, take a rest of your eyes, and it's not bad to listen to books!

Pedal your bike through the San Francisco Public Library, through the Civic Center, past Union Square, onto Fourth Avenue, and soon arrive at a nine-story office building.

When Andy Rubin arrived at the gate of the office building, a group of people on bicycles and dressed casually walked into the door one after another, and many of them greeted him with a smile.

It has been said that bicycles are the best form of transportation in San Francisco, and Andy Rubin agrees.

In this 9-storey office building, there are a total of as many Internet companies, not including Andy Rubin's technology company called Leaf Technology, which has just been established for less than half a year, and they directly occupy all the office floors of the fifth and sixth floors.

It's a very ambitious company

I believe that everyone can see this as soon as they walk into Yezi Technology, because this company is quite outstanding in terms of decoration layout and facility benefits, such as renting a house for employees, arranging buses to pick up and drop off work, and opening a restaurant in an office building and hiring professional chefs to sit in and so on.

People who have worked in Silicon Valley for many years are very good at seeing the company's owner's commitment and ambition to the company from the details, and for Andy Rubin of the old Silicon Valley, Leaf Technology Company also reflects this very well.

Andy Rubin is not a man who has never seen the world, on the contrary, he has worked in Microsoft and Apple, and he has also started his own business, and has achieved great results, one of which he is most proud of is giving an engineering lecture at Stanford University, showing off an Internet mobile phone developed by his company.

It was a year when the two founders of Google, who had become popular at the time, attended the speech and praised his Internet mobile phone concept, but then they were both busy with Google's development and did not have any further in-depth conversations.

Andy Rubin has always considered himself an engineer and is not good at management, which is why he left the company he founded called Daur, because the partners generally value performance, and the directors cannot accept that a person who does not know how to run will occupy the position of CPO and affect everyone to make a fortune.

Later, he tried to develop a digital camera, but failed, so in 2003, when he was at a loss, someone found him, and had an in-depth communication with him, expressing his willingness to provide an opportunity to hire him with a high salary to develop an Internet smartphone system.

This phone system has a name that Andy Rubin can't refuse, Android

Ye Technology, a company that is not well-known in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, but Andy Rubin has learned that the behind-the-scenes boss of this technology company is called Ye Qiu, from Chinese mainland, and behind Ye Qiu stands the famous Chinese conglomerate Huangtian Group, with an initial investment of more than 100 million US dollars.

And the person who came to communicate with Andy Rubin in person was Chen Zhong, the CPO of the Huangtian Group, but this Chinese said that he was just relaying some of Ye Qiu's ideas, but those ideas made Andy Rubin feel enthusiastic.

The reason is very simple, Ye Qiu's ambition is too big, too big to imagine

I still remember that Chen Zhong relayed a sentence, "If Android succeeds, one day it will appear in every corner of the world, it will appear in all intelligent electrical appliances, and it will change this world."

Isn't this the dream that Andy Rubin has always had since he joined Apple and joined Microsoft?

Ye Qiu gave him a lot of power, in addition to mastering the finances and guiding the direction of research and development, the rest were handed over to Andy Rubin, and Ye Technology was also rapidly expanding wildly in less than half a year, from only a dozen people before, to nearly UU of employees now, which is already a medium-sized company in Silicon Valley.

In this UU, it is divided into several different project teams, among them, Chen Zhong hired a very young college student from his alma mater, Harvard University, called Mark Zuckerberg, to write a social network war, which has been officially launched in early 04, speaking of which this kid is crazy enough, I heard that he directly hacked the database of Harvard University, and put all the students' photos on his own website, which is indeed ruthless enough.

But it also led to the overnight popularity of the website called PK, which was widely circulated on the campus of Harvard University, and now the number of registrations is rapidly climbing, and the size and investment of the group are constantly increasing, and the prospects are very gratifying.

In addition, there is a group that is also working on social software, but it's called Twitter, a kind of microblog, and there's another group of people working on it called Launch.

The Android team and these groups seem to be separated, but there is still some connection and communication in their bones, which makes Andy Rubin easily think that the behind-the-scenes boss named Ye Qiu seems to be planning a big game.

Just after Christmas in 03, the company directly dropped a CPO incredibly beautiful woman, but the ability is very sè, the first arrival, after getting familiar with the business, quickly took care of the company's big and small things in order, and before she came to San Francisco, she had already acquired a small company called PTUR at the University of Triva, and all the technical staff of this company were merged into the Android group.

This company has a number of multi-touch patented technologies, and they have already made a number of substantive touch products, such as their touch keyboard, but their influence is obviously not large, so the purchase price is also very low, but the joining of these talents has solved many of Andy Rubin's previous doubts.

As early as when Chen Zhong communicated with Andy Rubin, he mentioned that the Android system must be based on a full-touch design, and Andy Rubin felt that the full-touch design market had not yet been formed, and he was targeting keyboard phones like BlackBerry, adding Internet functions such as accepting emails and browsing the web.

Andy Rubin almost resigned for this controversy, but now that there is a multi-touch group, Andy Rubin can't help but feel ashamed of his previous short-sightedness, because Westerman's multi-touch can realize multi-point cāo control on the touchpad, such as zooming in, zooming out, and turning pages, as well as some gesture cāo control.

After obtaining the technology and talent of PIUR, the company immediately invested in further research and development, ready to go further on the touchpad, to achieve the touch screen cāo control, according to the technical team, to achieve this difficulty only takes time, it is entirely possible to achieve, and the company is already preparing to start applying for a patent.

At the same time, the beautiful CPO named Eliza Moon recently heard that she has been in contact with the two major telecom operators in the United States, ATMNAMNT and RTU, and I heard that she has also made breakthroughs in Xing.

Combining all of this, Andy Rubin's brilliant bright head flashed a glimmer of realization, that is, Leaf Technology is developing an Internet smartphone that uses multi-touch and other technologies, and if it succeeds, it will undoubtedly be the first smartphone to use such techniques.

In less than half a year, the company's scale and projects are expanding rapidly, and now it is still recruiting all kinds of software and hardware talents every day, and various experimental projects are also invested and supported without hesitation, including just to ensure that the antenna can operate efficiently, the company has agreed to spend more than two million US dollars to build a special laboratory.

There are so many parts and key technologies in the whole mobile phone, and the R&D investment is also very amazing.

The CPO called Eliza Moon said before that more than 100 million US dollars is only an initial investment, and will continue to make additional investments in the future, so that everyone can rest assured and strive to come up with a prototype in the shortest possible time.

Thinking of this, standing at the gate of the ground floor of the company's office building, Andy Rubin couldn't help but take a deep breath and walked into the door of the company, he, like all the employees of the company, was full of confidence and hope for the future.

Just imagine, with such a large investment, this company is indeed worth the expectations of employees.

Of course, what is the future, no one knows what to do, multi-touch full touch screen smartphones are too advanced, almost can be said to have never been before, can they be accepted, this is also a thing that everyone does not know, if it fails to develop successfully, then what is the future prospect of the company, and who knows what is the way?

Walked in the gate, passed the security desk, put the bicycle, and took the elevator directly to the fifth floor.

Although there are two floors, the fifth floor is the office building, and the sixth floor is the laboratory and the company's hardware R&D room.

There is no front desk lady, and there is only a green sè leaf specially designed by the company's employees at the entrance of the office, which looks very fashionable and modern, which represents the company's philosophy, environmental protection and low-carbon advanced technology.

As the company's largest project, the Android team has the largest number of software and hardware technical talents, with a total number of more than 400 people, Andy Rubin is the company's chief engineer, responsible for the overall coordination of research and development matters and talent recruitment, for this reason, he has used his experience working at Microsoft and Apple, and has recruited some quite outstanding professionals with high salaries.

"Andy, Miss Moon just came looking for you," an employee in charge of animation design reminded as he approached the office.

He is from Apple, good at animation design, and according to Ye Qiu's previous requirements, the page turning effect brought by multi-touch, as well as every connection in the mobile phone cāo system, are displayed as much as possible with animation, so as not to cause the illusion of jamming and abruptness, which is also a reason why Ye Qiu was in his previous life, many people think that Android is very stuck.

In fact, there are many reasons why Android is not smooth enough, such as the connection is too abrupt, and this system was originally designed for keyboard mobile phones, which also led to some problems, and there is also the early Android is widely used in mobile phones with poor hardware, such as some copycat machines, which also gives people a feeling that they are not smooth enough

In the previous life, some people thought that Android-based development was the reason for the unsmooth Android system, which was also relatively speaking, because of the difference of a few tenths of a second, there was no difference in user experience at all, but the high portability brought by V was irreplaceable, for example, Android can be applied to different hardware mobile phones, and, it can be applied to tablets, flat-screen TVs, etc.

Ye Qiu remembered that there was also a technical expert who even installed all the electrical appliances with display screens in his home into Android, which shows that this system has incomparable cross-platform porting.

Another important point is that the CL language is a Microsoft patent, needless to say, the cost is needless to say, and more importantly, VA is now the most popular in the world, and it is also the design language with the most widely used and the lowest entry threshold, although it may not be as good as the CL language in terms of energy consumption, but it has huge advantages in many aspects.

For example, it may take half a year or even a year to design a game using CL language, but it can be tested within 3 months with VA in VA, and there are more VAR programmers and a lower threshold, which is greatly convenient for promotion.

With the improvement of hardware, the impact of V is negligible, but there is no substitute for so many superior Xing.

Now Apple's mobile phone project has not yet started, and Jobs is even preparing to cooperate with Motorola, so Ye Qiu wants to start first, hoping to seize the market before Apple's mobile phone comes out, and he has already obtained a multi-touch patent, undoubtedly has seized the opportunity, if it can be successful, then Ye Technology will bring Ye Qiu extremely rich returns in the future.

Andy Rubin walked into Eliza Moon's office and was surprised to see that this beautiful woman, who looked as cold and arrogant as an iceberg, was sitting there talking and laughing with a young black-haired and yellow-skinned man, because he didn't know who the other party was.

"You're here, Andy" Eliza stood up and said with a smile, "I'll introduce you, the boss of Ye Zi Technology, Ye Qiu"

Andy Rubin was a little surprised, too young, too young, and Ye Qiu gave him the feeling of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hello, Andy" Ye Qiu smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, boss" Andy Rubin was a little reserved, he was like all the tricksters, he was not good at speaking, and he relied on his hands to express his opinion.

"How? I've heard, you still think you should add keyboards, right? Ye Qiu knew something about him and went straight to the point.

Andy Rubin nodded, "Yes, while I've seen Westman's multi-touch showcase, and I'll admit that it's really innovative, but I'm still worried that customers won't be able to adapt to such changes at all, and you know, we've always been worried about the materials for the touchscreen." ”

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, the material of the touch screen is self-evident to the importance of a touch screen mobile phone, so he does not doubt Andy Rubin's stubbornness at all, and it is obvious that Andy Rubin has always regarded BlackBerry as his imaginary enemy, which is very bad.

"Andy, regarding the material of the touch screen, I'm sure you can rest assured, because I got in touch with Corning in New York yesterday, and they're going to provide us with a Gorilla Glass within six months, which is very strong, scratch-resistant, and seems to be born for touch."

"At present, this glass Corning has been discontinued, because it is a product of the UU era, and there is not much market, but they promise to make samples as soon as possible to help us develop it." Eliza Moon laughed and said the latest results.

After Eliza finished speaking, Ye Qiu continued: "The reason why I have always asked for full touch is that I think the physical keyboard will limit the application of smartphones, and taking full touch can maximize the release of innovation.

"But how do you solve a lot of cāo control? For example, the numeric keypad when dialing, and when you want to send messages or write something, how to solve the problem of typing keyboard? Andy Rubin couldn't turn a corner for a while.

Ye Qiu explained with a smile, "It's very simple, we specially designed a dialing icon on the screen, if you want to make a call, click the icon directly, and you can display the dialing number key when you jump out of the dialing interface, as for sending messages and writing things, this is also simple, and the system is set to call up the typing keyboard at this time." ”

"The so-called intelligence is that when the user performs each specific activity, there are corresponding functions and buttons to meet the user's needs, and when the user does not need it, these buttons and keyboards will automatically disappear, such as watching videos through the mobile phone, then all the buttons can be ⊥ disappear, so as not to affect the user's use.

After Andy Rubin listened, he digested it for a few minutes, and then asked some questions, for example, he was worried that the phone was in his pocket, the latter was held in his hand, and he would accidentally make it by mistake, and the countermeasure given by Ye Qiu was to adopt a sliding unlock function similar to that of Android or love crazy in his previous life, as well as a one-key lock screen function.

And when you don't need to use your phone, you can ⊥ your phone into sleep to save energy.

In addition, Ye Qiu also gave a lot of his own ideas, such as adding sensors near the microphone of the mobile phone, which can avoid the user's ears from making mistakes on the touch screen when answering the phone, and so on.

Regarding Andy Rubin's doubts, Ye Qiu gave answers one by one.

In his previous life, Ye Qiu had used many Android mobile phones, and he had brushed countless times, so he knew everything about the Android system, and he had more than a year of experience in using Apple mobile phones, so he was very clear about the use and details of both mobile phones.

This time, he plans to develop his own smartphone, Ye Qiu can be said to have made a lot of money, that is, in a place like Silicon Valley, where talents are everywhere, so many software and hardware can be recruited in such a short period of time, as well as all kinds of professionals, and it is impossible to do it in other places.

Andy Rubin has a lot of doubts, and Ye Qiu's answers are also very detailed, from the icon design of the mobile phone, to the appearance design of the mobile phone, to the various functions of the mobile phone, as well as the open source model open to third parties, Ye Qiu gave the most detailed answer, almost wanting to give Andy Rubin everything he knows.

The latter has signed a work contract with Ye Zi Technology, Ye Qiu is not worried that he will leave the company, and he cannot monitor the progress of the company at all times, so he needs someone who is very familiar with and understands his ideas, and Andy Rubin is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

The most negative result was that Ye Qiu took out a large number of Android and Apple mobile phones that he had studied and understood in his previous life, as well as a large number of high-tech smart products such as tablets and smart TVs that could not be realized for the time being, which greatly shocked Andy Rubin.

To treat such professional students, you have to act more talented than them, so as to be able to deter them.
