Our Rise Era

Chapter 244 Breakup!

The wind outside the window.

It's getting colder.

The cold is getting worse.

inside the house.

Zhang Yang drank his tea, keeping his head down silently.

But Chotech drank his coffee, read the news and newspapers, but said nothing.

The second hand on the wall passed by second by second, and every second was clear in Zhang Yang's ears.

Zhang Yang's expression was very calm, showing no emotion at all.

but……

Deep down in his heart, Zhang Yang felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.

This feeling of powerlessness is familiar.

In a previous life!
To start a business...

He entered the capital circle through various projects.

After experiencing the group buying war in 2010, commonly known as the "Thousand Group Wars", we also experienced the "Takeaway Wars" with Meituan and Ele.me...

We even started Didi Taxi, entered the taxi market, and grabbed orders like crazy...

He and his team have taken advantage of almost every opportunity.

However, in the end, due to the [capital issue], it gradually became a game tool for big capital. In order to survive, it watched its shares gradually decrease, and eventually lost the dominance of the company...

After coming to this world and seeing a similar world, Zhang Yang, relying on this gamble in photovoltaics, completely sat on the capital table. With the capital and foresight, he launched a "takeaway war" that attracted Xunteng, Sodu and Baotao.com to join the game...

but……

This kind of turbulent movement did not make Zhang Yang feel excited.

On the contrary, they are clearly aware that they have only gained a temporary "capital discourse power", but if they really want to firmly control this discourse power, they need core technology.

For example, the rapid expansion of the photovoltaic industry is due to the fact that China has mastered the technologies of polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon, breaking through the blockade and gaining the right to speak.

but……

In the field of mobile phones.

Or……

In the true sense of the word, in the field of science and technology, this is a competition between countries.

I am too insignificant. I have invested hundreds of millions, billions, or even 10 billion, but have not seen any splash...

……

"Have you thought clearly?"

Qiao Taike looked at Zhang Yang.

There was a slight complexity in his eyes.

In fact, he admired this young man who suddenly emerged.

Being able to start from the grassroots and step by step gamble in the tide of the times, winning again and again, is a miracle in itself.

Unfortunately, however, his yellow skin meant that he could not cooperate with them on a deep level.

Qiao Taike is very clear that China and the United States will be competitors in the future...

And Zhang Yang is also one of the most typical representatives among these Chinese people.

I am unwilling to be inferior to others for a long time!
Longing for a breakthrough!

Like a bloodthirsty beast, it is constantly trying to break through the cage of the times in various ways...

Standing on a higher step, attracting countless attention, the desire to return to the top is even engraved in our bones.

……

In fact, he knew that Zhang Yang was working on the [Wheat System]. Even a few days ago, there was a backup of the [Wheat System] experiment from [Wheat Technology] on his desk.

[Xiaomi System] is completely inferior to the Android system, has no ecological chain at all, is not mature at all, and has no competitiveness at all if it is put on the market now.

However, he has invested a lot of money and is expanding his team, which in itself is a signal.

In fact, Qiao Taik also knew that Zhang Yang had contacted AuthenTec, an American fingerprint sensor manufacturer.

As the Internet becomes more and more developed, what everyone is doing is actually not a secret...

……

"This is the best solution for you, for me, for us, and for our future together..." Qiao Taike looked at the expressionless Zhang Yang, a smile appeared on his face, and his voice gradually became gentle, a voice that Zhang Yang had never heard before: "Mr. Zhang Yang, it is undeniable that I admire you very much. You are a talented person. I have been watching you when you were with Sophie, and I have no objection..."

"..."

“Sometimes, some things are not as difficult as they seem... As long as you nod, every step in the future will become smooth... You should be in our camp.” Qiao Taike pushed his glasses and moved closer to Zhang Yang. At this moment, his face was full of admiration, as if he was a senior who was patiently guiding a junior.

"..." Zhang Yang said nothing.

Always sit calmly.

Staring at that cup of tea.

That cup of tea had already gone cold.

"Sometimes, we do stupid things. Years or decades later, when you are my age, you will realize how stupid your original decision was. I have also experienced the same difficult choices as you..." Qiao Taik looked out the window, as if recalling the past, with a little more emotion in his eyes: "In 2003, Brutus and I, together with several partners, founded a software company called AB..."

"We set our sights on the system. We were ambitious and wanted to become the second Apple, the second Microsoft. We planned for the future and thought about so-called artificial intelligence. We made a system called Android. However, because our ideas were too advanced at the time, we could not get any investment and fell into a difficult situation for a long time. But we remained strong and optimistic as always. We mortgaged our house and car..."

"Later, we met Google! After a very painful negotiation, we felt unprecedented frustration and even thought that everything was over. However, after we actually entered Google, we realized how ridiculous our previous technology and ambition were... We began to feel lucky, lucky that we were acquired and that we got better technology and a cooperative team..."

"..."

After Qiao Taike finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yang; "You are like me back then, fearless, courageous, a gambler... but all your courage comes from ignorance, ignorance of your opponent..."

"..." "You are developing the [Xiaomi System], but the [Xiaomi System] is a system based on our Android framework. You cannot get away from this framework... I can tell you responsibly that you are nearly ten years behind us, or even longer... We have Google behind us, and we can acquire one system after another on the market and integrate them into our Android to make us more perfect. What about you? What do you have?"

"..."

“Everyone wants to have the first ticket to the smartphone era, but do you know how many people are pushing for this ticket?”

"..."

Chotech uttered sentence after sentence.

Zhang Yang listened silently but never said a word.

Qiao Taike looked at Zhang Yang's expressionless face and finally said nothing more: "You don't have to reply to me right now. I can give you time, plenty of time to think about it... I just want to tell you that you in 08 couldn't even use the MTK system, not to mention that it's Android now... You are a smart person, and smart people should have their own ideas."

About ten seconds after Qiao Taike finished speaking, Zhang Yang finally moved: "Mr. Qiao Taike, I will not sell [Wheat Technology]."

"We will give you generous funds. Under Samsung's cooperation system, you can become the most powerful mobile phone in China, without a doubt... You can even be the spokesperson for our Android system in China, a true spokesperson. This is not just a market worth billions, but tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions!"

"Sorry..." Zhang Yang shook his head.

stood up.

"Are you sure you've made a choice? Do you have to do such a stupid thing?" Qiao Taik frowned deeply, and when he saw Zhang Yang, his expression began to gradually turn cold.

There was no sign of appreciation at all.

A person who cannot be controlled by himself is destined to be abandoned early, or even cut off from his retreat...

if not!

Endless troubles...

Although the publicity at this moment will not pose any threat to the entire [Android system], Qiaotek has been in the business circle for many years and naturally knows what it means to be a lion fighting a rabbit, so he should do his best.

"Yes!" Zhang Yang nodded and laughed.

"it is good."

Chotech nodded.

Then he waved.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to leave the office, the office door opened.

Sophie ran in, her face flushed, and she seemed a little angry: "Father, why must I choose this path? Isn't it better for us to keep cooperating? Father, I don't understand. Obviously, if you two work together, you can give the entire Chinese market to the controller. Now is the time for Android to expand its territory... If Zhang Yang switched to [Microsoft]..."

Qiao Taike remained calm in the face of Sophie who rushed over. He no longer showed his usual doting attitude and just said coldly, "We will consider the consequences in the future..."

"Father, is that so..." Sophie was stunned for a moment, then became excited: "Isn't there a third option? We can buy at a higher price, no problem!"

Qiao Taik glanced at Sophie, his expression still cold. This look made Sophie feel particularly strange.

After a long time, he shook his head.

"Everyone has his own path to choose..."

"You!" Sophie widened her eyes and stared at her father in disbelief.

Looking at his father's cold appearance, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Qiao Taik didn't say anything, but waved his hand. Then, several people came in and pulled Sophie out.

"Father, you! What are you doing...you're hurting me!"

"From now on, you are not allowed to enter my office without prior notification!"

"..."

Zhang Yang watched Sophie being dragged away.

Zhang Yang wanted to stop it.

But then it stopped.

Just staring closely at Chotech.

After a moment, he said nothing, but turned around and left the office silently.

Qiao Taike looked at Zhang Yang's back for a long time.

Finally closed his eyes.

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

night.

Deep.

Zhang Yang returned to [Wheat Technology] and lay on the bed...

When I was about to take a break...

The phone rang.

"I heard that you don't accept the acquisition?"

The call was from Ge Guoxing from Shengxing Mobile.

"Yes."

"Aren't you afraid that the brand you have worked so hard for five years will disappear in an instant? After all, your [Xiaomi Technology] is too immature now. You have nothing and are still groping for everything... After leaving Android, you can't withstand any storms..."

"Boss Ge, what do you want to say?"

"Let's talk about the future path."

"Okay, where are you?"

"I'm at the door of your company..."

"..."
