Our Rise Era

Chapter 100 This is a dangerous young man!
In 2003, an engineer named Pluto and his partners founded a software company called AB.

The original intention of the company was simple.

At first, they were just developing an advanced system for cameras, but later, with the rapid rise of smartphones around the world, they gradually realized the huge potential of mobile operating systems...

Therefore, the technological focus began to shift to smartphones, and a system called Android was developed.

The word Android is translated as robot, symbolizing the combination of technology and intelligence.

but……

In the early stages of research and development, a problem was soon encountered.

That is, although smartphones are the trend of the future, due to the relative scarcity of resources and funds at the time, it was difficult to make them practical all at once, so the company's research and development was repeatedly hindered.

But Pluto did not give up on this operating system. He gave passionate speeches at public gatherings many times and never missed any opportunity to promote it...

Finally, Google noticed...

Eventually, Google also realized the potential of Android and acquired the entire company.

After this...

The company began to carry out drastic reforms and innovations in the field of operating systems.

Jotech from France is one of the founders of this company. After the acquisition, he is responsible for the promotion of Android and the upcoming Open Handset Alliance.

....................................

The warm sunshine outside shines through the window, making people feel warm.

In the Chinese restaurant, Qiao Taike listened to music silently, while his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yang who was making his wife and daughter laugh.

This young man from China spoke fluent French but was very smooth-talking. From the moment he entered the door to the moment he sat down, he was always chatting with the two of them, as if he was the outsider among the three of them.

"Father, please eat something..."

"it is good."

When the steaming hot Chinese food came up, looking at his daughter's happy face, Qiao Taik just picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites.

Then, a detailed profile of Zhang Yang and his products emerged in his mind...

Before coming to China, he had someone collect the latest and most detailed information about Zhang Yang, including the newly released series of mobile phones called "Wheat 1".

The company and the analysis department gave a very low evaluation to this mobile phone named [Wheat 1]...

There is no brand advantage, no heritage, and no real factory!
Even this time...

At this point in time when he was about to form the Android [Open Handset Alliance System], if his daughter had not just happened to have a boyfriend like this at this point in time, he would not have had any interest at all.

China has dozens or even hundreds of mobile phone brands like [Xiaomi 1] every year. The only advantage is that the current sales trend of [Xiaomi 1] is quite good.

When I think of this...

He looked at Zhang Yang, the Chinese man, again.

In fact, he had no good impression of this Chinese man since they first met and shook hands.

Especially from the seemingly polite appearance of this Chinese man, he seemed to be keenly aware of an ambitious heart.

"Father, Zhang Yang is also in the mobile phone business. I know you are setting up the [Open Mobile Phone Alliance System]. I wonder if you can also include Zhang Yang's [Xiaomi] mobile phone in the alliance system? This phone is very popular in China right now. Many young Chinese are scrambling for it... Zhang Yang is very good! He has come from nothing to where he is today, and every step he has taken has not been easy..."

After this very strange atmosphere lasted for about ten minutes, the laughing daughter opposite suddenly looked at him.

Qiao Taike's expression did not change. He did not answer his daughter Sophie's words, but looked at Zhang Yang with a frown.

Zhang Yang also put away his smile at this moment and looked at Qiao Taike...

His eyes were so deep, so deep that Qiao Taike couldn't tell what this young Chinese man was thinking...

This young man is dangerous!

This was Chotech’s first feeling at this moment.

After a brief look, Qiao Taik shook his head and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Zhang Yang, I have investigated your company. With all due respect, your current company does not meet the requirements of the [Open Handset Alliance]..."

"Mr. Chotech, what exactly are the conditions you need?"

"Mr. Zhang Yang, the [Xiaomi] mobile phone brand was established too recently. A brand without any foundation will never be able to obtain the qualification certificate from our [Open Mobile Alliance] under any circumstances. At least, we will not be able to give you the first batch of qualification certificates..."

"I'm curious, Mr. Qiao Taike, which Chinese mobile phones are you going to cooperate with for the first batch of qualifications?"

"There are currently two Chinese mobile phone brands, [Shengxing] Technology and [HCT] Technology... These brands of mobile phones are Chinese brands with annual sales of over 200 million units. They cover many fields and have some technology research and development qualifications. We plan to invite these mobile phones to become the initial members of our [Open Mobile Alliance]..."

“Oh, if the sales volume reaches a certain level, you can become an initial member?”

Zhang Yang nodded when he heard this.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, even if your [Xiaomi] mobile phone reaches an annual sales volume of 200 million units, we still have to take its performance into comprehensive consideration, such as factory specifications, laboratory systems, brand valuation, etc. We need a strong and powerful ally who can help each other and make progress together during the cooperation to jointly promote Android to the world..." After looking at Zhang Yang's calm expression, Qiao Taik felt that he did not seem to have explained it in detail, and finally repeated his requirements very seriously.

After he finished speaking, he saw the Chinese youth opposite him nodded again and lowered his head to eat silently.

"Father... But we just need an opportunity now. There is absolutely no problem with his ability... Can we make an exception for him?"

"Sophie, personal feelings are personal feelings, work is work... Everything should be separated. We have rules for everything we do. I, including anyone in our company, have no right to break these rules..."

Qiao Taike had a serious expression on his face, and he seemed to be speaking to Sophie, but also seemed to be speaking to Zhang Yang.

When Sophie heard this, she became a little anxious. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhang Yang pressing Sophie's hand with his hand, smiling, and holding up the wine glass: "We are having a meal, not talking about work. Mr. Qiao Taike, welcome to China, I'll toast you first..."

Qiao Taike shook his head and stared at Zhang Yang seriously: "Sorry, I don't drink during work..."

"Is it working time now?" Zhang Yang looked at Qiao Taik with a smile on his face when he heard this.

"Yes, after dinner, we will go to Shengxing Technology to talk about the Open Handset Alliance."

"Okay then..." Zhang Yang nodded, put down his wine glass, and then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Thereafter...

Zhang Yang did not talk about anything about the Open Handset Alliance. During this time, Sophie wanted to bring up this topic several times, trying to get Qiao Taik to give in by acting coquettishly, but was stopped by Zhang Yang in time.

Qiao Taik took everything in, and after finishing his meal, he walked out of the Chinese restaurant with his wife.

Just as his daughter was about to take the two of them around Hua Xia, Qiao Taike shook his head and said, "We should go."

"Father, are you leaving just like that? But, that's not what we said..."

"Yes, it's time to go. It's getting late..."

"Father, but... didn't we agree to go to Zhangyang's Pengcheng to take a look? You promised me on the phone..."

When Sophie heard this, she suddenly became anxious, and in an instant her eyes were filled with tears as she pulled Jotek.

But Qiao Taike glanced at Zhang Yang, and ignored his wife's suggestive look. He shook his head and stared at Sophie without any courtesy: "We came here today to meet your boyfriend. Now that we have met, we will not give you any advice on your relationship. I have said that every path of every person is chosen by themselves... Of course, we will not help you in any way because of your relationship with anyone..."

"But, you promised..." Sophie stared at Qiao Taik, seeming a little angry.

this moment……

She felt that she had lost face in front of her lover...

"Your mother promised. I never promised you anything. Okay, we should go."

"..."

When his wife saw Jotek's rude expression, she immediately pulled Jotek's clothes.

Qiao Taik's eyes were very cold. He just glanced at Sophie and Zhang Yang, and then walked towards the car that had been prepared.

Just as I was about to get on the bus...

Qiao Taike seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhang Yang again.

This Chinese man did not become anything because of his attitude...

Instead, he was smiling and polite from beginning to end.

After a brief eye contact...

He finally got in the car.

The car quickly drove forward...

The wife looked out the car window with an unhappy expression at her daughter who was stamping her feet in anger.

"Jotaik, since when did you become like this?"

"This young man gives me an indescribable sense of danger..."

"I have also read the information of this young man. He is very capable. If he is given a chance, he will achieve amazing results. Aren't you Android people going to control the Chinese market and compete with the iOS system in the future? I have a feeling that he can become that person. He can do this job..."

Qiao Taike narrowed his eyes and watched Zhang Yang patting Sophie in the distance with his peripheral vision.

There was no sign of frustration on the young Chinese man's face; instead, he was smiling brightly.

There seemed to be an indescribable emotion in the brief look he gave himself.

After watching it for a long time...

"If he can be controlled, then there is no problem, but I also have a hunch that this Chinese man is someone who cannot be controlled, and..." Qiao Taik shook his head: "He is too small, we don't have the patience to play house with anyone..."

"..."
