My Age of Investment

  Chapter 947 Silicon Valley Chinese's Preferred Employer

  The negotiation with Ballmer broke up unhappy.

Seeing Ballmer and his party who opened the door angrily and left, Andy Rubin asked worriedly: "Daren, we are completely torn from Microsoft today, and they will definitely do everything possible to deal with it. our."

  Xia Jingxing did not answer, he was thinking carefully about the next countermeasures.

  Is Microsoft strong? Nature is powerful.

  If the company is large, there are many factions, and there are many businesses that need to be taken care of.

After more than 30 years of development, Microsoft's business tentacles have already covered countless areas. In addition to the original Windows operating system, the hardware has Xbox, the software has the Office office suite, and the Internet has MSN, IE browser, Hotmail, and Live search engines. ...

  If Microsoft was born in China, I am afraid that it will enjoy the same treatment as Penguin: the dog is Microsoft! Is there any business that Microsoft does not do?

   But vomiting, the reality is that, capital is greedy, and when the main business growth slows or weakens, it will look for new directions for expansion.

  Lu Qi and Andy Rubin next to him regard Microsoft as a big threat, but Xia Jingxing does not think so.

  Microsoft entered the mobile phone operating system very early. It launched WindowsMobile as early as 2000. At present, this mobile phone operating system has been updated to version 6.0.

  Microsoft introduced a large number of computer operating system elements into WM6.0 at one time, and imported Microsoft's own applications on the computer, such as MSN, IE, and so on.

  Using the thinking of being a computer operating system to make a mobile phone operating system is one of the important reasons for Microsoft's failure in the mobile phone system.

  In addition, closed source, charging of patent fees from mobile phone manufacturers, too large a shelf and unfriendly to developers, tile icons... are also important reasons why everyone believes that Microsoft will lose on the mobile side.

  To sum up Xia Jingxing, in one sentence, thinking can't keep up with the times.

  Free is the most expensive! This sentence is the essence of Internet operations.

  If Microsoft is open source, free to mobile phone manufacturers, and then subsidize software developers, to use the ecological resources accumulated in the PC era, ten Androids will not be enough to play.

The current operating model of Android is to adopt "the wool comes from the pigs, and the dog pays for it". It does not directly make money from mobile phone manufacturers. After it has accumulated a large number of Android users, it uses basic application services, application stores and advertisements to conduct business. Realization, the profit chain has become a little longer, and it is easy for all parties to accept it.

  Even Motorola, who has been complaining about reviving mobile phones, has now closed its mouth wittily. This is the proof and the true portrayal of people’s hearts.

  Who in the mobile phone circle now praises "Android atmosphere" and "people are stupid and money comes quickly".

  If Microsoft is still working on the WM system with conservative thinking, even if it is upgraded to Windows Phone in the future, it will not escape the fate of failure.

   However, Microsoft actually wants to acquire Android, so Xia Jingxing is more or less worried about whether the other party has a temporary intention or has noticed something.

  I don’t bother to think about how the opponent plays the cards. You still need to be hard when you hit the iron. Let Android make up for its shortcomings as soon as possible, and make a lot of friends. This is the most important thing for Android at present.

Xia Jingxing retracted his thoughts, looked at Andy Rubin with a sad face, and calmly said: "Don't worry, don't say anything else, just rush to Microsoft today's shelf, they will not be able to do anything, this life can only stop at PC The position of the overlord."

Andy Rubin asked puzzledly: "Why? That's Microsoft. The appeal of the industry is comparable to ours. It's a heaven and an underground. I'm afraid that Microsoft will also learn from us and build a mobile phone alliance. Partners will definitely run. Microsoft went there."

  Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed, “You still don’t understand. Microsoft is calling for heavyweight partners like us that have already cooperated. How friendly do you think they are to small manufacturers and small developers?”

  Andy Rubin thought for a while, and suddenly said excitedly: "Yes, if Microsoft has maintained such a superior appearance, who would be willing to cooperate with them?

  We share the technological achievements with everyone without reservation, and we will invest heavily in subsidies and support software developers in the future. "

   "hiss~"

  Andy Rubin took a breath, and felt that if it really continues to develop in this situation, it is not impossible for Android to overturn the behemoth of Microsoft.

  Thinking of this, the pressure in his heart was wiped out, and he happily said: "Na Dylan, let's quickly launch our browser and mailbox, let Microsoft get out of here!"

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "We have put their hands a long time ago, how is our product development going?"

  Andy Rubin raised his chest and raised his head, "The development and testing has been completed, and it is ready to go online at any time!"

   "Go, let's take a look!"

  Andy Rubin happily led the way and led Xia Jingxing to visit the new department and new business.

  …………

  …………

   "Jerry, I want to hear your opinion."

  Lu Qi found Yang Zhiyuan, his former boss, and told him about Xia Jingxing's plan to invite him to be the CEO of Android.

  The two have a good relationship. Even if Lu Qi resigned from Yahoo, the two still kept going privately.

  And Android and Yahoo do not have a competitive relationship, and even cooperate with each other.

  Yang Zhiyuan leaned on the chair, gently stirred the coffee in his hand, smiled and said, "Want to hear the truth or lies?"

   "Naturally is the truth!"

  Lu Qi solemnly said, “I have checked a lot of information on the mobile phone operating system industry these days, and I have visited several senior executives of mobile phone manufacturers, but I’m still a little bit unsure.”

  Yang Zhiyuan put down his coffee, shook his head and laughed: "Wrong, you are all concerned about the industry, why can't you pay attention to Dai Lun?

  The venture capital industry often says that “investing is investing in people”. In my opinion, the same is true of finding a job.

Although Darren is only twenty-three years old, his business map has spanned China and the United States, covering many fields such as the Internet, industry, and financial investment.

People like    have infinite possibilities in the future. To be honest, I think even when Yahoo was at its peak, I couldn’t compare to him. After all, I wouldn’t be able to toss like him. "

Speaking of this, Yang Zhiyuan’s eyes are full of admiration and envy. Xia Jingxing’s career is thriving, but his Yahoo is constantly going downhill. He is beaten by Google without any temper, which makes him, the former Yahoo chief, lose a lot. My heart even began to have self-doubt and vacillation.

  So when he learned that Lu Qi was leaving, he didn't overly persuade him, and he really didn't have the confidence to persuade others to stay.

Lu Qi nodded lightly. Yang Zhiyuan's words strengthened his conviction. Looking at Xia Jingxing's business map, no matter which industry he breaks into, he can always splash a little bit of water, as if there is nothing in the world that can stop his business expansion. .

  "The most important thing is that he is Chinese. No, like you, he is Chinese."

  Yang Zhiyuan smiled, “If one day you can’t mix Silicon Valley anymore, you can still go back to China. Hainei.com and Fuxing Industry are all good technology companies.”

  Lu Qi fully understood. Yang Zhiyuan pointed out a very important point for him. Xia Jingxing is a Chinese and will not hinder his promotion, or that he will not be treated unfairly because of his Chinese status.

  Even if he works harder, can he become the CEO of Microsoft as a Chinese? I'm afraid it's impossible.

  Xia Jingxing is not the same, he was appointed directly as the CEO of Android, even if Android is weak, this is the number one.

After thinking about it, Silicon Valley has no more suitable employer than Xia Jingxing. Even if there is any change in the future, he can still be a veteran trusted by Xia Jingxing and join the other party's business in China.

   "Let me tell you again. In the past, the most popular Chinese engineer in Silicon Valley was Yahoo, and everyone ranked Yahoo as the employer of choice."

  Yang Zhiyuan sighed, “Oh, it’s changed now! This preferred employer has become Facebook and YouTube.”

  Lu Qi smiled and said, “Because you and Dai Lun are both Chinese, you don’t think you will encounter the “glass ceiling”.”

   "The truth is the same. At least you got the executive vice president at Yahoo, and there are several Chinese vice presidents on Facebook. Look at other technology companies. How many Chinese executives are there?"

  Lu Qi focused his head, "You and Dai Lun have made outstanding contributions to improving the status of Chinese engineers in Silicon Valley."

  Yang Zhiyuan waved his hand, not wanting to talk more about this topic, let the past go with the wind.

  Lu Qi's eyes were sad, and he felt that Yang Zhiyuan still lacked some courage. The founder and CEO are like this. Where can the employees below be better, who can hold Yahoo again.
