Coquettish Rebirth

"Next? When I arrived at this company, the company had become independent from Apple. After becoming independent, it also received investment from companies such as Motorola. We mainly did things like pdas, but later After we made it, Apple, the parent company, was jealous. They developed a Newton pda by themselves, and then they said that our company adopted some of Apple's basic patents, saying that we used it when it was still inside Apple. Some of the results of the research have been used in the new company, and they will sue us. What a madman! They did it when they separated our company, and complained that we used it in Apple after the separation Research data? Is there such shamelessness? Although our company was also listed later, with the development of the Internet and the suppression of Apple, our company could not continue to operate, and it declined before Jobs returned to Apple.

Later, a few of us set up a company and developed a webtv, that is, interactive Internet TV, which can perform on-demand, video, and playback functions through the cable TV Internet system that has become popular in the United States, that is, set-top boxes and video recorders. , hard disk, and modem were all integrated with the TV, and the effect was not bad, and hundreds of thousands of units were sold. Later, this company was bought by Microsoft in 97. At that time, our company had an annual profit of [-] million U.S. dollars, and it was acquired by Microsoft. After the purchase, although I was only a minority shareholder, the money I received was not too small.At the same time, I was also included in Microsoft, but after joining Microsoft, I did a stupid thing.I just made a wheeled robot that can move by itself, and then it is equipped with a camera... I can even remotely control this little robot to wander around in the office, secretly watching what other people are doing, or making a little trouble for others.Originally, other people just laughed when they saw this, but the idiots in Microsoft's internal security department found this robot wandering around when I was working overtime on a Saturday, and suspected that I was using this robot to steal them Data...crazy!If I wanted to steal it, I would have stolen it long ago!If I steal casually from Monday to Friday, no one will suspect me, okay? "

"So, Microsoft said to me, either I don't want to play robots in the future, or I'll get out. So I chose to get out, crazy. These people have no sense of humor at all! These elm-headed people really Can you make Microsoft stupid! Technology companies need to be flexible. There must be a variety of new ideas, and all of them are as fussy as if they were just dug out of the ground. I don’t believe in such a company It will be better in the future!"

"Later, I rented a small warehouse of ten square meters in a small retail store on the side of Silicon Valley Street. It was used as my laboratory. I put a lot of robots bought from Japan in it. Then Playing with my robot. I was thinking about new things. Then I came up with a new thing, which is about the size of a Snickers bar, and put a camera on it. This camera can take pictures of objects and automatically Upload it to our server, and then compare the network on the server, and you can find some weird information about this thing. I have designed the whole thing, and the cost is not expensive. The whole thing can be made for about ten dollars, which is very fun. Damn, isn’t it? But the burden on the server is relatively heavy, and it’s not easy to charge monthly, so no one is willing to invest... So my friend and I wanted to get such a mobile phone or something like this. The things that I got out of when I was in a lawsuit with Apple back then are further portable...

I think it is not too strange to create an operating system in such a relatively large-screen mobile phone after the configuration of mobile phones is getting better and better in the future.Because according to my understanding of the industry, the CPU frequency of mobile phones must be 100mhz within two or three years. Although it is still far from the CPU frequency of desktop computers, it is absolutely no problem to be an embedded system!When Microsoft first created windows, what was the cpu frequency corresponding to the visual interface?Then you still need a mouse, and you have to take care of the resolution or something.The screen of the mobile phone is not more than a dozen inches, and the resolution can be lowered, and then it is definitely not a big problem to build an embedded system similar to wince. Then the mobile phone will be so comfortable and intelligent to use..."

Wipe it!Jia Hongjian was really shocked at this moment!He never thought that his luck would be so good!I feel like I met the developer of the Android system?Since the Andy Rubin in front of him likes robots, and his nickname is Android, and he has an idea to develop a mobile phone operating system, who else is this Android developer?If an accident can happen under such circumstances, and it can be found that this person has nothing to do with Android, then Jia Hongjian thinks that he should buy a lottery ticket!

Now that he has come across such a future Android developer by chance, how is Jia Hongjian going to win over such a person?Should I invest in the other party, or should I just buy the company directly and bind the people?Google in history, remember that it also bought a small company, and then got the so-called Android system?Thinking of this, Jia Hongjian has made his own idea clear, that is, buy it if you can, and even if you can't buy it, you still have to participate in the stock!Get on good terms with this guy too!It is also necessary to prevent such a company from being acquired by others in the future!

Of course, if he wants to do this, he must first ask Andy Rubin what he thinks and see what he thinks!So at this moment, I only heard Jia Hongjian ask: "So, how much money do you want to get from us with this plan and plan, and how much business do you want to make?"

"Hmm..." Andy Rubin was obviously stunned for a moment, thinking that Jia Hongjian would make a judgment in his heart, and then take the initiative to tell him whether he would like to invest, and if so, how much he would like to invest.However, he didn't think too much about it, but seriously thought about how much money he wanted.After thinking for a while, he said to Jia Hongjian: "On the whole, of course, the more money the better, but to be honest, I generally feel that 3000 million US dollars is enough. At the beginning At that time, although it was good to have our own communication company, it was not necessarily necessary at the beginning. We made a general investigation and found that a German company called t-mobile had just entered the United States in the past two years, and they needed Vigorously develop our own customer base, so from a certain point of view, we should be able to cooperate with them. So try to negotiate with them, let them purchase our machines as customized machines, and then what are we advertising Yes... Generally speaking, 3000 million US dollars should be enough for the first batch of time. At that time, we can find the manufacturers in Dawan to help manufacture, so that the cost can be controlled better..."

Whoops, this Andy Rubin's overall idea is quite good!Everything that should be estimated has been estimated. From this point of view, this person looks like a serious person!They even knew that the best thing to do was to settle for the next best thing. They didn't imagine that Jia Hongjian's first batch of investment would be hundreds of millions of dollars—generally, there are several rounds of financing in the limelight.As a boss in the limelight, no matter how rich we are, it is not brought by strong winds. We have to invest a little to see how the effect is. If the effect is good, we will invest more, right?

Andy Rubin looked at Jia Hongjian full of expectation, but Jia Hongjian did not give him a direct answer, but turned his head to whisper to old man Olsen.Jia Hongjian asked the old man in this way, "How about giving me all this company? I want to take care of this project by myself, and let him work for me..." "Is that why you are so optimistic about this project?" The old man didn't Instead of answering the question directly, he asked Jia Hongjian in surprise.From the old man's point of view, although this project is relatively reliable, it is not so good to say so!

"Young people, there are always things you like. Just like you like computers, I like things like mobile phones." Jia Hongjian smiled, "Don't worry, old man, I promise you with my reputation, Absolutely not to cheat you." "You don't need to promise, you and I can still believe it." The old man turned his head and waved his hand, he is a relatively old man, just like HP's big smoking gun, almost never use black and white Writing, just a simple verbal agreement is enough to become the most iron and reliable guarantee!And Jia Hongjian's cooperation with the old man in the past few years has indeed proved that Jia Hongjian is not a bad person.Everyone is the co-chairman, and each holds 50% of the shares. Jia Hongjian has never cheated the old man. He always actively communicates with the old man when he has any ideas, and he will only do it when the old man nods.If such a collaborator can't convince the old man, who else can convince him?

Seeing that the old man agreed, Jia Hongjian turned to Andy Rubin with a smile and said, "If you want simple venture capital, buddy, I guess you will be disappointed..." He had just finished speaking , Seeing Andy Rubin was suddenly embarrassed, with a look of disappointment on his face!However, just when Andy smiled bitterly and was about to say something decent, Jia Hongjian said first: "You can only get my personal investment, and then accept me as your business partner. Man, willing to come Do you work for Holmes Corporation? As the chairman of Holmes Corporation, I want to acquire your company, which has not yet been established..."

"What?" Andy Rubin was surprised, he didn't expect to hear such a sentence at all! (To be continued..)
