Our Rise Era

Chapter 199 Return to Europe and America
United States.

Late at night!
【QTK】company.

The world is a big dining table.

Some people are the ones at the table…

Some people are just an insignificant dish on the table.

Thomson stared silently at the contracts for acquiring [QTK] Company on his desk.

[Google] acquired all of [QTK]'s industries, including the R&D team led by Thomson, for US$6.5 million.

The Web OS system owned by QTK company was integrated into the Android system, and the latest technology was integrated into the Android 2.0 system to become a part of it.

"Mr. Thomson..."

"Don't worry, the treatment we will give your team will not be any worse than when you were in [QTK]... In addition, we will provide you with a more advanced team and research room so that you can steadily carry out the next step of systematic research and breakthroughs. I hope that in the next year, or even in the years to come, we will be the closest cooperative allies!"

"..."

After Thomson took the agreement, he looked up blankly.

In Jester's office, Joe Tech from the Android Developers Alliance is now sitting.

But Jester was not in the office at this moment.

After getting his own shares out of the 6.5 million U.S. dollars, Jester left QTK company completely, and Thomson couldn't get through to him on the phone at all.

Apart from technology, Thomson has no say in [QTK], and technology...

Jester has already packaged all the content in [Web OS] and sold it all to [Android].

The so-called technology...

At this moment, nothing makes sense anymore.

When Thomson saw that Jester had signed all the agreements, he realized that he had to bow his head as well.

"I know, Mr. Chotek..."

Facing Chotek's smile, Thomson lowered his head. Although there was no change on his face, deep down in his heart, he felt strongly unwilling.

He realized that at this moment, he had nothing except those hundreds of millions of cold dollars!

but……

Finally followed Chotech and shook his hand.

I watched as Qiao Taik and his group left the president's office of [QTK].

He stared at Chotech's back as he left.

He slammed the table hard.

His fist was sore from being hit, but he seemed not to feel the pain and clenched it tightly.

In the early years…

He has read books such as "The Legend of Microsoft" and "The Biography of Joes".

I also imagined that one day, [QTK] they founded would become such a big name.

However, at the moment when Web OS was making a splash in China with the Xiaomi 2 mobile phone, it was suddenly acquired...

The acquisition means that they will no longer have any say in Web OS.

Revolt?

How to resist?

【Android】 is one of the most important strategic directions of Google...

And Google, Google is the overlord in the global technology field.

They are not [Microsoft], they are not [Novia], they are not [Samsung]...

How can a small system company with a market value of only a few hundred million US dollars beat Google?
In this era, the technological interests scattered around the world have been divided up by the old giants.

It is extremely difficult to break into the market technologically.

Even if you break through, do you want to take advantage of the little bit of profit left in the market?

No one will want to see you sitting at the table!

They climbed onto the dining table, and in the end, they were just a dish on the table.

A measly dish!

He called Zhang Yang.

On the other end of the phone...

Zhang Yang seemed to have anticipated this. He neither comforted him nor said anything.

Just as Thomson was about to hang up the phone...

Zhang Yang then replied.

"Mr. Thomson, are you interested in developing in China?"

"Mr. Zhang Yang, I don't understand what you mean..."

"We can start from scratch. Our [Xiaomi] mobile phone R&D capabilities are very weak, and it is very difficult to market the system. I know very well that in the future, we need a technological innovator, a good teacher... and Mr. Thomson, you have always been the teacher I want... I have sales in China, and I can provide you with funds to continue your research and development..."

"Mr. Zhang Yang, if I'm not mistaken, Android will bring your [Xiaomi 2] into the game next. Starting from [Xiaomi 3], you can only use the [Android] system. What's the point of research and development for you? You have become a member of the [Android system] and share the convenience of Android!"

"..."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Thomson suddenly thought of something: "Will you refuse?"

"If you hadn't been acquired, I might have refused, but if you guys [Web OS] don't have control, what's the point of me rejecting Android?"

"That……"

"We have nothing now, but that doesn't mean we will have nothing in the future!"

"What do you mean?"

"We are all the same kind of people. We want to be on the table, not the dish on the table! But we are all weak now, so we can only climb onto the table first... Climbing onto the table is better than eating leftovers under the table!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Yang, Thomson's face looked a little more confused.

He wanted to laugh.

I feel that Zhang Yang is a bit childish, and has some self-consolation in it... It's ridiculous...

But, for some reason, as I laughed, I lowered my head.

Then he sat in the chair in the office, alone for the whole night.

He thought about a lot of things...

I thought about their previous entrepreneurial ventures, their repeated technological breakthroughs, the sales of [Wheat 2], and this acquisition...

……

Time passed little by little, and finally, the sun rose outside the window.

He sighed.

Finally, he silently threw the books on the table, such as "The Biography of Joss" and "The Legend of Microsoft", which had accompanied him for who knows how many years, into the trash can one by one.

Finally, he silently dialed Qiao Taike's number.

"Mr. Thomson, have you made up your mind?"

"I plan to leave this circle and use the money to enjoy life..."

"It's a pity that you're leaving this circle now. You're a talented person and you can shine at Android."

"Sorry, I'm tired and exhausted. It's just right for me to leave now."

"..." There was silence for a long time on the other end of the phone. Obviously, the person was very shocked by Thomson's sudden words. It seemed that he had never thought that Thomson would go this way.

But after a moment, the other party laughed.

"I respect every soul that longs for freedom... However, if you don't feel tired anymore and want to do something more, our Android door will always be open to you!"

"Thank you!"

"..."

After making the call, Thomson breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that at this moment, all the pressure in his body had completely dissipated.

Then, he suddenly felt crazy again.

I actually rejected [Android]'s invitation and believed the lies of that young Chinese man!
The young man’s girlfriend...

But Chotech's daughter!

This……

Am I a fool?
..........................................

September.

For the Chinese mobile phone industry...

It's a month of reshuffle.

9 month 12 day.

[Android announced the acquisition of [QTK] company, whose previous [Web OS] system was used in China's best-selling model [Xiaomi 2]...]

When Android announced the acquisition of [QTK] and stated that [Android] would continue to provide services for the terminal device brands that [QTK] had previously cooperated with...

Everyone in the entire Chinese mobile phone industry has realized one thing!

That is……

It's going to change!

Many reporters were waiting at the entrance of Wheat Technology, intending to interview Zhang Yang.

However, Zhang Yang, who once loved to ride on the popularity of others, seemed to have disappeared overnight at this moment, and no one knew where he went.

When interviewing Fatty Yuan, the second-in-command of [Xiaomi Mall], about his views on this matter, Fatty Yuan's answer was vague and he did not give a direct answer, only one sentence.

"Our [Xiaomi Mall] next policy is very simple, to deepen the field of electronic technology..."

at first……

No one knew what Fatty Yuan meant by this.

But later, when Shengxing SX-G1 announced that it would open China's first e-commerce mall in Xiaomai Mall...

Some people began to gradually figure out the taste!
..............................

"[Shengxing] and [Xiaomi Mall] have cooperated?"

"It's not that [Shengxing] and [Xiaomi Mall] have cooperated, but Zhang Yang has officially joined Android with the [Xiaomi 2] phone!"

"Oh?"

"I have a set of data here showing that just yesterday, [Xiaomi Mobile] officially became a member of the [Android Open Alliance]! Zhang Yang's girlfriend, Sophie, is the daughter of [Android Open Alliance] founder Qiao Taike. It is very normal for Zhang Yang to switch to Android. After all, in a sense, Sophie also has a small portion of the [Android] system's shares!"

"..."

Hangcheng.

In Ali Langlang’s office.

Ma Yunqiang silently looked at the words [Shengxing Mobile Mall] on the computer screen.

[Shengxing] suddenly announced this topic, which undoubtedly brought another wave of traffic to [Xiaomi Mall]!
When I saw this...

He realized that things were about to change in China’s mobile phone industry!

Wait till afternoon!

When Samsung suddenly announced, just like Shengxing, that it would open China's first platform in Xiaomai Mall...

Ma Yunqiang's face looked a little shocked!
[Xiaomi 2] mobile phone, has improved [Samsung i750] to such an extent!

【Samsung】Mobile phone...

They even cooperate with [Xiaomi Mall]!
This time, Android...

It seems that the price and cost paid are quite high!
"Mr. Ma..."

"According to my latest news, Zhang Yang has acquired almost all of China's photovoltaic industry, and just now, China's photovoltaic industry has returned to Europe and the United States!"

"..."

"The [News Broadcast] is reporting this incident!"

"..."

"Zhang Yang can't be stopped!"
