Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 935 Google's Corner (4K)

On the first day of December, Fang Zhuo arrived at the office of the Silicon Valley R&D Center early, and while waiting to send Google Schmidt's visit, he read the routine company report.

As the company gets bigger and has more affairs, he reads the report with more focus.

Like the work report from Ice Core, Dr. Liang Mengsongliang's work often passes quickly. First read the overview, then quickly glance at the long speech in the middle, and finally carefully read his conclusions on the technology.

Bingxin currently has three major projects in the technical field, one is the research on 45nm process technology, the other is the research on FinFET fin field effect transistor, and the third is the research on FD-SOI fully depleted silicon-on-insulator.

Professor Hu Zhengming has undertaken a lot of work on the latter two.

In particular, at the end of last year, an SOI International Industry Alliance including 19 well-known companies such as AMD, IBM, and Taiji was established. The goal is to promote the innovation of SOI technology and accelerate the growth of the SOI market. And a lot of running around.

Although the industry alliance is to open up the market, it also has its own interest considerations.

However, FD-SOI itself was invented by Professor Hu in 2000. His identity, qualifications and achievements all have different weights. That is to say, at the end of this month at the earliest, and at the beginning of next year at the latest, Ice Core will become the SOI Alliance The 20th member of .

This obviously helps the application of ice cores to FD-SOI research.

Unlike Dr. Liang's presentation on the technical side of the report, CEO Qiu Ciyun's report style is somewhat different from his own.

Mr. Qiu is quite slick in dealing with people, but the content in the work report is very detailed, and he likes to describe one thing over and over again, which makes Fang Zhuo easy to read, but it is a bit time-consuming.

"President Fang, today's newspaper."

Secretary Liu Zonghong walked into the office and put down today's reports from various media.

Fang Zhuo gave a "hmm" and looked at the time. It was half an hour before the appointment with Schmidt.

Lao Shi came here today for nothing else, other than regular communication about the development of Android phones, he mainly wanted to find a relationship to mediate for Google's business in China, but this...

What Fang Zhuo meant in his heart was that it was the same as before, it's not easy to negotiate, so it's better not to negotiate, so he mainly wanted to talk about the former.

While thinking, a piece of content in the newspaper came into view, another real estate company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the chairman of the company was suspected of jumping off the building but failed.

He was about to sigh, but when he took a closer look, he saw that this person was jumping from the second floor, and the exclamation in his mouth stopped abruptly.

"That's kind of interesting."

Fang Zhuo pointed out the news in the newspaper to Liu Zonghong who was changing tea.

Liu Zonghong happened to know what happened yesterday, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, it is said that he really jumped down. He was entangled with the creditor at the time. He chose the second floor. There was a mattress underneath, and he just jumped. Forcing creditors."

Fang Zhuo: "Um..."

"As a result, the mattress company's stock has risen, and it is strong against the market." Liu Zonghong said something interesting.

Fang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a few seconds, he said, "There is some reason..."

If you set up a market value management company, find a few clients, and jump a few more times, you might lose creditors.

He flipped through the newspapers again and looked at the analysis of the economic situation by various experts, because Geithner has been officially nominated as the next financial steward, and everyone is looking forward to his new policy, and they are also making suggestions.

The new team will be officially launched in January next year, but Geithner is now working on his rescue plan, which is expected to be officially announced as early as early February after he passes the Senate vote.

As far as Fang Zhuo knows, Geithner and Summers are determined to take Wall Street as the financial core, save Wall Street companies first, and let the economic system revolve around Wall Street's financial industry, so as to restore prosperity.

When Fang Zhuo heard golfers talking about this, he remembered an event called "Occupy Wall Street".

At 55:[-] in the morning, Google CEO Schmidt came by appointment.

Yike cooperates closely with Google, Android company is the witness of the love between the two.

As the head of Yike, Fang Zhuo not only communicates frequently and smoothly with Schmidt, but also has a very good personal relationship with Larry, the founder of Google.

In terms of emotion and reason, public and private, Fang Zhuo patiently listened to Schmidt's demands.

Regardless of Larry or Schmidt, both of them have talked about the relationship between Google's business and administration in China, and they think that if this joint is resolved, the business can be launched smoothly.

Fang Zhuo feels that they are a little bit hoping for personal friendship and are unwilling to let Google change its strategy in the East. In fact, Google’s localization in China has failed quite a bit. There are factors of Kai-Fu Lee’s team and the general reluctance of foreign companies. factor of empowerment.

"Well, Schmidt, I will help you find a leader after I return to China this month, and fully reflect your situation." Fang Zhuo agreed seriously and gave a timetable.

Schmidt expressed his gratitude, and he did get feedback on the Eastern relationship he was looking for from Mr. Fang, but the result was not very effective.

As we all know, there are always various considerations in administration, and we can't just rely on Mr. Fang.

Besides, there is no search in Mr. Fang's business map, and he doesn't compete with Google. No matter how bad he is, it's not like he won't give such favors, right?

Judging from his own experience, Schmidt believes that there is no problem here, and everyone is an iron triangle after all.

He talked about the issue of gradually gaining public opinion in the past two days: "I heard that the lawsuit between Yike and LG is about to come to an end?"

Fang Zhuo asked back, "Where did you hear that?"

"Looking at LG's reaction, its senior vice president criticized Yike's use of patents to hinder healthy competition in the market." Schmidt mentioned an observation angle.

Fang Zhuo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “There’s no result yet. Besides, Yike’s mobile phone has been banned in South Korea. Who is obstructing it? The Korean court is too biased, and the process of our appeal there is also slow. "

Schmidt nodded slightly, this matter is no problem, when LG approached Google but backtracked, now the wicked have their own troubles.

He took a sip of his coffee and conveyed something more he wanted to talk about: "Then... what is Yi Ke's attitude towards HTC?"

Fang Zhuo frowned, and quickly sensed the breath of the lobbyist.

HTC's Wang Xuehong flew to Shanghai before, but she didn't see her, and she flew to the United States last month, but she still didn't see her, so she handed it over to Yu Hong.

The results of LG's ban on sales will come out in the next few days, and there will be movement about HTC's appearance at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

This time is actually relatively fast, but perhaps because HTC talked with Google about the Android system, the negotiation attitude has slowed down.

"HTC, um, Schmidt, you may not know that President Wang of HTC is talking with our President Yu in New York, and I think we can get a good result from the negotiation." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "There is no need to discuss this matter." Worried, I believe HTC will show sincerity, oh yes, I met with Sony’s Stringer a few days ago, and chatted with him about the choice of Sony Ericsson’s future mobile phone system.”

"Although the market situation of Sony Ericsson mobile phones is not good today, they still have a considerable market share. If Sony Ericsson can also enter the Android camp, I believe our promotion of smart systems will be greatly strengthened."

When Schmidt heard about Sony Ericsson's situation, his attention turned to this.

Sony Ericsson mobile phones are much more fragrant than HTC. If it can join the PRO alliance, the cross-licensing of patents will be of great benefit.

He asked Stringer's reaction with concern.

"He and I are only communicating in private. The future direction of Sony Ericsson mobile phones probably has to be fully evaluated there. After all, Microsoft is also very attractive." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "This also requires Android to show Positivity, what do you think?"

Schmidt nodded in approval. Although Android is an independent company, Google exerts overall influence, whether it is development or development.

He thought and thought, knowing that Fang was always Sony's foreign director, he felt that it would be better if he participated in this matter.

If Sony Ericsson joins Android, the situation in the mobile phone industry will suddenly become clearer. The top manufacturers in the world include Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Eke, which is developing fiercely. In addition, Chinese manufacturers are also very active, and the future growth trend is immeasurable. .

In less than two years, the Android system is really booming.

With such a development of Android, it is natural that the inherent system market will be eroded.

The thoughts in Schmidt's mind turned and turned, and he was concerned: "Is there any further contact between Yike and Nokia? The reconciliation on the patent is a win-win situation."

"You also know that Nokia is very stubborn." Fang Zhuo said lightly.

Schmidt frowned, just as LG was facing being banned from the market. Once the feud between Echo and Nokia continued, it was likely to make things uncontrollable.

At that time...

His face is still frowning, but his heart is relaxed, let it be, the current Android is no longer the Android of 07, there are certain users, and there is also a aggressive Samsung.

Schmidt continued to ask a few more questions, not in the mood to fly to Europe to persuade peace as he did last time.

Fang Zhuo understood some subtle changes very well, and even habitually speculated about Lao Shi's other thoughts. If Yike loses power, the shares in the Android company may be able to take the opportunity to recover, even if the price is higher.

The two chatted about hello and me for a while, and imagined the development of the Android system next year.

Finally, Fang Zhuo talked about an issue that is very important to Yike's Chinese market. Because Google's business in China is not effective at all times, the Google service in the Android system has not been able to obtain a good user experience from Chinese consumers.

Yike Mars, as the first product of the Android system, basically maintains the original ecology of the system in the global market, but this original ecology is not so good in China.

With the update of the Android system, Google gradually adds functions to its service framework, and is also controlling more and more mobile software developed to make the mobile phone experience better.

Because the system is open source, mobile software often introduces redundant functions and asks for more mobile phone permissions, which hinders consumers' sense of use.

The existence of Google is to make the software functions of mobile phones pursue accuracy and simplicity, and put the notification functions of the software under its own unified management, so as to reduce the memory usage as much as possible and avoid the freeze of the mobile phone.

This is also what the IOS system is doing, but it is a closed system and is not open source to third-party ROM developers. Now it has done better.

To put it simply, Google now has the prototype function of Google Mobile Service GMS. With the enhancement of the prototype, the fluency of the mobile phone will be higher-now it may be more from the perspective of market share, and such function replacement is also tacitly allowed up.

The Chinese market is different. The prototype of Google GMS is not very effective. The running memory of the mobile phone is a situation where the software is allowed to flag. In the future, it will obviously become more stuck with the increase of software functions.

The potential meaning proposed by Fang Zhuo is that Yike will make a YMS framework to replace Google in the Chinese market to play the role of managing mobile software.

What can Yike's YMS do?

It can prohibit software from engaging in open screen advertisements, prohibit software from occupying memory, and can guarantee the quality and source of apps...etc.

This will undoubtedly improve the consumer experience.

But... this is a challenge to Google. The Android system is exactly what it is trying to find the entrance to the mobile Internet era. GMS's future plans will include account numbers, email addresses, maps, search, app stores, security certification, etc. series of basic services.

These GMS services are an important reliance on Google's mobile era.

Almost when Fang Zhuo talked about the consideration of the Chinese market, Schmidt's face became serious with the naked eye.

He stared at the oriental man in front of him, frowned and said, "Android and Google services are together."

"Android is open source, isn't it?" Fang Zhuo asked knowingly. Android is open source, and Google's functions are also made by other people at this point in time, but Yike is indeed Google's biggest partner in mobile phones now.

Schmidt did not pretend to be blind on this issue, and said solemnly: "Google has always given great support to Yike Mars. I don't want this incident to become a rift in our friendship."

Fang Zhuo also frowned, this time he stated: "Android is open source."

Schmidt stared at Fang Zhuo without speaking.

Fang Zhuo took a step back and said: "Eco just needs to better serve consumers, and needs to compete with more and more competitors for a smoother and smoother user experience. Echo's services can include Google search, email, etc. Function, Yike's market outside of China has not changed."

"Then use Google services directly!" Schmidt said decisively.

"Google services are not working! This is a problem that you need to solve in China!" Fang Zhuo also became tough.

Schmidt suddenly became suspicious of Mr. Fang's mediation for Google in China. Is this good mediation or bad mediation?

Motivation has emerged!Boss Fang is not very nice in the first place!
He stood up and said coldly: "Google will solve this problem."

Fang Zhuo also got up and said solemnly: "Of course I want to see this most. Yike's purpose is always to provide consumers with better services."

Schmidt glanced at Mr. Fang for the last time, shook hands with him reluctantly, and left the office.

Fang Zhuo still sent Schmidt to the door. He had no choice but to understand. He just really didn’t want to see the opening advertisement.

Everyone is for consumers, and they are all shareholders of Android, so it doesn't matter who does it.

　I feel that I have to take a rest and plan to take an annual leave at the end of the month.
