Coquettish Rebirth

"The current mobile phone is just a prototype. In the future, we plan to add Sherlock Holmes's cq chat software to the mobile phone. I hope that Mr. Jia can authorize us or develop a special simplified version for us. At the same time, we are also preparing to further enhance the CPU and related configuration of the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone can reach the point where it can play online text games..." Andy Rubin said confidently.

Old man Olsen was very interested in the future he described.Although the old man looks down on ordinary consumers, he thinks that ordinary consumers don't understand the difference between transistors and resistors. They don't understand what is good and what is bad when they write to ordinary consumers. Do they need it? This kind of configuration, but he is still very interested in promoting it to commercial users!Although the business users targeted by this mobile phone are not industrial users, it does not mean that a company can spend money to buy it and distribute it to their employees, but let the rich employees buy it themselves, but this kind of integration has made old man Olson I like it, and I feel very tall!

When everyone is optimistic about the future of this mobile phone, Jia Hongjian, who pays special attention to the operation, is thinking about other things in his mind at this moment—he is thinking about the origin of Andy Rubin!Is this mobile phone that existed in the history of the original time and space, but it turned out to be a mobile phone that did not become a big one, or is it really a new thing that appeared in this time and space because of the butterfly effect caused by Jia Hongjian?Of course, he couldn't think about this matter by himself, because he didn't pay much attention to this aspect at this time in his previous life.So how to judge whether Andy Rubin and his mobile phone are "native-born" or "exotic species"?

Of course, it doesn't really matter whether the phone was born and bred or influenced by him, Jia Hongjian.However, what Jia Hongjian was concerned about was a question behind this question - if there was such a mobile phone in history, why didn't this mobile phone become well-known and let Jia Hongjian know about it?Why has this mobile phone not been accepted by the market in history?And after Jia Hongjian intervened in this time and space, will Andy Rubin add other ideas to the phone because of his participation, thereby increasing the success rate of the phone?We want to do venture capital, although it is a gamble, but we have to try our best to judge whether this thing will be popular in the future, so as to avoid throwing money away!Otherwise, it would be the same as those companies in the dot-com bubble, bluffing tens of millions of small money.As a result, nothing was achieved.As a result, the company collapsed...

Especially for the two companies of Tom Herman and Claire, Jia Hongjian gave them face, and finally spent about 1500 million US dollars in dividends from Holmes' company to buy such a company from a venture capitalist.This would have happened if Jia Hongjian hadn't taken over.The $3000 million stolen by the VC firm was basically a waste of money.Didn't even see a splash!

"Okay buddy. Tell me about yourself in detail and how you came up with the idea of ​​making your phone? We've learned enough about the product, and I want to know more about you. After all, you're going to be You want to be the CEO of this company, right? Whether or not we can earn back our investment depends on your operation, right?" Jia Hongjian asked.

The reason he gave was quite reasonable, so Olson and others had no objections. Andy Rubin thought about it, and then began to introduce himself with a smile: "I am Charles, who was born in New York State in 1963. Buck, a small town, is the new home of Hillary Clinton this year, she moved to our small town this year, and then became a member of the Senate... When I was young, my father was an electronic device salesman, and the company he served was not big, so Even the promotion of product catalogs needs to be done by myself. To be precise, my father is more like an independent salesman. The company is responsible for selling products to them at a certain internal price, and then they go out to sell products. Buy it in and deliver it to the manufacturers who need it, and earn the difference from the middle. When I was young, my father often had to shoot product catalogs at home, and let me, who was still a child, help light the lights. After the shooting, these samples Small parts will become my reward, let me take them back to disassemble and assemble, I think it should be the experience at that time that made me fall in love with making electronic products and making computers.”

The experience wasn't magical, but it sounded heartwarming. "In 1986, after I graduated from the Department of Computer Science at Utica College in New York State, I joined the well-known Carl Zeiss company. Their company is most famous for various optical lenses, but what I joined was not to make lenses. , but to make precision microelectronic robots, which are actually automatic equipment on various automated production lines. After doing it for 3 years, I went to the Cayman Islands for vacation on my annual leave. On the first night I went, I couldn’t sleep in the early morning because of the time difference. , because I was dispatched to Switzerland by Zeiss before. So I went out for a walk on the beach in the middle of the night, but as I was walking, I saw a very pitiful man curled up sleeping on a deck chair on the beach. This guy It's so pitiful, he has no clothes on his upper body, and he is lying on a chair in a pair of beach pants. I looked around him, and he didn't seem like a homeless man, at least he looked like a man with a hairstyle. Serious guy. So I woke him up and asked him why he was sleeping on the beach. Do you know what that guy said? He had a fight with his girlfriend, and he was kicked out of the rented villa by his girlfriend. Then he tragically didn't even bring his wallet with him! Hahahaha..."

This experience is quite fun, but since it is specifically mentioned, is this the rhythm of some kind of adventure?Jia Hongjian thought curiously, and then heard Andy Rubin say with a smile: "In the end, of course I have to help this guy, but, since he is in Cayman, I also know that I can't let this guy into my rented house." Otherwise, what if he is really a bad guy? So I paid him to open a hotel room and bought him some supper. This buddy was so touched that he told me to come back later. The United States will definitely repay me well. Of course I said no, but, this buddy is depressed at the moment and can’t sleep, so he opened two cans of beer in the night snack I bought, one for him and one for me. I started to drink. I just couldn’t sleep, so I chatted with him. I found out that he was almost in the same industry. I was working on robots at Zeiss, and he was working on computers at Apple! After learning that I was sent to Switzerland, he persuaded me to come to Apple for an interview, saying that their company needs an engineer like me, and the salary is better than that of Zeiss!"

Whoa!Did Andy Rubin ever work at Apple?Jia Hongjian was a little moved at once, and finally heard Andy Rubin reveal the answer - "After the vacation was over and I returned to China, I resigned and went to Apple for an interview. Fortunately, I later became an employee of Apple. Engineer. But when I went to Apple, I didn’t meet Jobs. He had already...you know, left the company. I didn’t do mechanical and hardware work inside Apple, but I did software. The main job is the work of Softmall, which is to simulate a modem through software. However, when I first arrived at the company, I found that Apple’s internal phone system was so confidential that it was easy to hack into it. Then At the age of 26, I did a prank. I hacked the company’s program-controlled telephone exchange, and then in my own office, I used my own landline to pretend to be the boss of the company and call my colleagues, telling them that because they Their outstanding performance, so the company plans to give them a special share of stock as a reward at the end of this year... Hahahaha, I gave those idiots to Lede, and they all opened champagne!"

"Next, the guys from Apple gave me a nickname during the years of cooperation with me. They thought I was good at both hardware and software, and I was particularly obsessed with Japanese robots. My name is Andy, so I gave me the name of a robot in a French sci-fi work——Android... Later, when I worked at Apple for 92..." When Andy Rubin said this, Jia Hongjian directly I was shocked!He didn't even hold back and asked directly, "Android? Android? How do you spell it?"

"Android, huh, this name is very strange, I also think it is very strange, but I also like it. So in fact, I am in the free personal homepage provided by your Sherlock Holmes company, and the name of my own page is called Android, and then in In my music pod, my personal nickname is also Android..." Little fat Andy Rubin thought that Jia Hongjian's surprise was due to his strange nickname, so he explained with a smile.

And Jia Hongjian was really shocked at this time!Your sister, Android!Isn't this the mobile phone system of Google in later generations?The spelling is exactly the same!Is there any special connection between this little fat man in front of him and that Android system?Otherwise, can't the names be exactly the same?Can't it be said that Google also chose the name Android in the French sci-fi work?Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Thinking of this, Jia Hongjian pretended to be calm and hurriedly said: "Hehe, it's okay, you can continue to talk about it, what happened in 92?" That's right, he wants to listen to the details again!Maybe the following content can make him judge whether this little fat man has anything to do with Android! (To be continued..)
