My Age of Investment

  Chapter 738 Promotion

After being severely beaten by Xia Jingxing, the executives of the two companies finally became less erratic and became more courageous to take on a lot.

  Zhou Guangping even suggested: “Mr. Xia, there are two prototypes. Didn’t you complain that the game was not finished? Let’s take it, you continue to play, and then test.

  If there is any problem, we will find it early and solve it as soon as possible. "

  "Aren't you afraid of exposing more problems?" Xia Jingxing looked at Zhou Guangping with a smile.

   "Don't be afraid!"

  Zhou Guangping shook his head, and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Xia, you just criticized it right.

  I seriously reflected and found that after the prototype was built, the company went up and down like a sigh of relief, and the R&D work was less focused and active.

  Compared with last year, our company seems to have lost a spirit of arduousness, it is too easy to be satisfied, which is very bad, it is easy to stagnate and lose the enterprising spirit. "

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Zhou Guangping in surprise, she was quite enlightened.

  He sometimes doesn’t understand Zhou Guangping. It’s very complicated to perform well for a while and perform poorly for a while.

  Andy Rubin said: “Darren, here, I also want to conduct a sincere review on behalf of the team. The comfortable office environment and abundant R&D funds have consumed our morale and even produced inertia.

  Next, I will convene the team to convey the minutes of today’s meeting and regain the previous fighting spirit.

  Even if there is no problem with the Android system at the end, we will not slack off, and will work harder on research and development, and launch a more stable and better performance operating system before the phone is officially launched. "

  Others also spoke and made self-criticism.

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Well, as long as everyone keeps a clear head like now, there is no need for us in the mobile phone market.

  Okay, the extra words will not be said, everything depends on the performance of the action, when the day of success comes, distribute according to work, reward based on merit. "

  Everyone nodded with their own understanding.

   Soon, the remaining two prototype phones were sent.

  Xia Jingxing picked up one of the mobile phones and started playing the airplane game.

  There was no problem this time. After playing for half an hour and passing dozens of levels, the phone still runs smoothly.

  The senior executives of the two companies breathed a sigh of relief. It’s fine if there is no problem. Individual phenomena are better than group phenomena.

  Xia Jingxing picked up another mobile phone, just clicked into the game interface, and quickly bounced back to the main interface.

  He tried several times, all of them.

  The executives all squeezed a sweat when they saw this, waiting for the arrival of the violent storm.

  As a result, Xia Jingxing reacted calmly, did not get angry, and gently put the phone on the table.

  "This kind of program crash is also a big problem, remember to check it together to find out the source of the problem."

   Scanning a group of executives who were nervous, Xia Jingxing laughed, "Don't be so nervous, I won't scold you."

  The executives saw that the boss really didn't mean to blame, they all smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

  At this time, Xia Jingxing once again made a straight face, "But I must emphasize that in research and development, we must have a truth-seeking and pragmatic spirit.

  It’s not terrible to have problems, because we are afraid that we can deceive ourselves or set ourselves a very low expected value. "

  The boss turned his face faster than a book, and many people’s smiles directly froze in the air.

   "Never! President Xia, we want to see the scenery on the top of the mountain with you!"

  Lin Bing looked at Xia Jingxing solemnly. The arrogance that was brought about by the temporary success had been wiped out, and he was convinced. Now he can take a normal view of the defects exposed by the mobile phone.

  Xia Jingxing stared at Lin Bing for a few seconds, then smiled slightly, "Okay, there's a chance!"

  The meeting ended soon.

  Everyone else left, only Andy Rubin stayed.

  Looking at his boss sitting on the opposite chair with a smile, Andy Rubin also smiled, "Daren, I have something to talk to you."

  Xia Jingxing put her arms around her chest, "Okay, let's talk about it."

  "Next, we still need to carry out a new round of R&D and upgrade to the Android system, and the funds are a bit tight."

  Andy Rubin glanced at Xia Jingxing cautiously. His attitude and actions were like a child who asked his parents for more pocket money, cowering.

  Last year, Xia Jingxing invested 50 million US dollars in Android, and it has been spent at all times.

  Android hasn’t generated any income until now, and there are still problems with the test phone. Andy Rubin himself feels embarrassed and lacks the confidence to ask for money.

  "Okay, I see, I will inject 100 million dollars into you in a while, continue to expand the scale of the R&D team, and the R&D work must not be stopped."

   Hearing this, Andy Rubin was ecstatic. He thought it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect the boss to pay so easily.

   "The 10% of the employee option pool does not need to be diluted. As I promised before, the option pool will only be diluted after injecting more than US$500 million into Android."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “If the mobile phone goes on sale smoothly, Android will soon generate revenue, and the valuation will soon exceed 1 billion US dollars, 2 billion US dollars...

  The specific step that can be taken depends on how many mobile phone manufacturers choose Android, so this first shot must be launched. "

  Andy Rubin understood the hint, nodded, smiled and said: "Dalun, just rest assured, I will definitely cooperate with the work of my Chinese colleagues."

   "Okay, then I won't say much, looking forward to your good news."

  Xia Jingxing got up and patted Andy Rubin on the shoulder, then strode away.

After walking downstairs and getting in the car, Xia Jingxing said to Liu Xiaoduo, who was sitting in the co-pilot, "Call Lin Bing and ask him to come to my house for dinner."

  …………

  …………

  When Lin Bing received a call from the boss’ secretary, Lin Bing was stunned for a long time, and the boss suddenly asked him to eat at home. What does this mean?

   Then he thought of a possibility.

  Excited Lin Bing quickly cleaned up his personal image, changed into a suit, went to buy gifts, and then took a taxi to Xia Jingxing’s villa in Palo Alto.

  In order to show courtesy, Xia Jingxing personally greeted Lin Bing at the door.

Xia Jingxing wanted to laugh when he saw the suit Lin Bing was wearing and the gift box he was carrying.

   "Mr. Xia, it's the first time I came to your house. What do you look like with empty hands? Make a good impression."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, led Lin Bing into the villa, and introduced him to the foreign girl.

  The chef was still cooking, Xia Jingxing and Lin Bing sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted.

   "Is it accustomed to work in the United States?"

  Lin Bing smiled, "There is nothing wrong with it, Mr. Xia, you forgot, I have been studying and working in the United States for ten years."

  Xia Jingxing remembered that this guy worked at Microsoft's US headquarters for several years, and was later sent by Microsoft to China to form Microsoft Research Asia. He is also an old turtle.

  "As long as you get used to it, the company will focus on the United States for a period of time in the future."

  Lin Bing nodded, “I also think that the company’s first mobile phone product launch conference should be in the United States. The storm caused by smartphones traveled back to China across the Pacific, which can give our brand a lot of points.

  It is embarrassing to say, but now foreign products are more fragrant than domestic products and enjoy a premium right. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, talking to smart people is simple, and she understood what she meant at once.

   "Well, you haven't had any conflicts with the people from Android recently?" Xia Jingxing looked at Lin Bing's eyes.

   Lin Bing knew that this matter couldn’t be concealed, and he pondered for a moment and said, “Are there any big contradictions, but there are some small frictions at work...”

   After listening to Xia Jingxing, he found that Zhou Guangping was the one who took the lead in making troubles.

   "In fact, Guangping can't be blamed for this matter. His character is straightforward, and he will say good and bad things directly..." Lin Bing excused Zhou Guangping.

  Xia Jingxing just wanted to know what happened, and he had already given serious warnings. He didn't mean to settle accounts after autumn.

  He waved his hand and said: "The matter is over, just expose it. If there is such a bad sign in the future, you must tell me in time."

  Lin Bing repeatedly said yes.

  "The U.S. branch will be vigorously recruiting troops next. The tasks will be very arduous, and a person who can live in the scene will be required to serve as the president."

  Xia Jingxing gave Lin Bing a glance, smiled and said, "I prefer you, how about it, do you have the confidence to do it well?"

Before    came, Lin Bing had a hunch that he would be promoted.

  When this moment really came, he still couldn't help the ecstasy in his heart.

  There was no excuse, Lin Bing stood up and said: "Mr. Xia, I have the confidence to do it well! Thank you for giving me such an opportunity."

   "Hahaha~, sit down!"

  Xia Jingxing laughed and waved his hand. The position of the president of the North American branch seems to be low, not comparable to the vice president of the Chinese headquarters, but in fact it is a low-level position.

  In short, the main consumer of smart phones is the Yankee. At the moment, the domestic high-end phone market is still relatively small, and it is not so easy to overcome. Nokia and Motorola will return to the picture.

  For a period of time in the future, the resources of mobile phone companies will give priority and focus to the US branch.

  Lin Bing, the president of the US branch, can actually be roughly equal to the president of the Chinese headquarters.

  Lin Bing was very aware of the doors and ways inside, so he was so excited and delighted.

  “For the time being, a “generation” will be added. After the mobile phone is on the market and the sales volume is opened, the dynasty can be cancelled.”

  Although Xia Jingxing is a major shareholder and CEO and can push Lin Bing to the top, he does not want to do that.

  Currently, the mobile phone is not on the market. It is in the research and development stage. The performance of several vice presidents is almost the same. No one's credit is particularly obvious. The promotion of the teacher is well-known, otherwise it is easy to secretly create suspicions. This is one of them.

  The second is to draw a cake hanging from Lin Bing, and when it’s done, the pronouns will be cancelled. Doesn’t this have the motivation to struggle?

  Lin Bing instantly understood what the boss meant. He didn't have any dissatisfaction, and he felt that it was justified.

  He nodded and said: "Mr. Xia, I understand, I will prove myself with actual actions."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Okay, just let it go."
