My Age of Investment

The cooperation is of course just a cover, the real purpose of Xia Jingxing's trip is actually to target the robot with two antennas on its head.

After communicating with Andy Rubin for so long, especially after talking about his views on the mobile phone operating system and showing that he is not a noob, he feels that the time is almost ripe, and it is time to get down to business.

"I want to buy Android!"

When Xia Jingxing said these words, his tone was flat, as if he had said something insignificant.

But these words fell into Andy's ears, no less than shocking!

"Aren't you going to make a mobile phone? Why did you change your mind?"

Andy spread his hands, "Dude, don't play tricks on me."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "I'm not joking with you, mobile phones must still be made.

Making mobile phones and acquiring Android are not contradictory things. "

"Android is open source, even if you don't buy Android, we can license it to you."

Andy explained, "Android is an operating system developed on the basis of Linux, and it was destined not to be closed source from its birth.

In our vision, in the future, Android will form an alliance to attract as many mobile phone manufacturers, operators, and upstream and downstream companies in the mobile phone industry chain as possible to join.

With the help of more people, we will expand our market share together.

If you plan to make a mobile phone, it will not do you much good to own Android, and it will not help your mobile phone company to form any unique advantages. "

Xia Jingxing smiled and thought quietly.

In the previous life, Google also made mobile phones, but the sales were dismal. The annual shipments were only a few million units, which was not as good as Apple's weekly shipments.

At the same time, this behavior of being both an athlete and a referee has also been criticized and vigilant by other manufacturers.

If you want to eat all the meat without giving people a sip of soup, you have to learn from apples.

But Apple has almost finished research and development, and soon the epoch-making IPhone 1 will come out, and there is not much time left for him.

There is no time to make a closed-source system,

And compete with Apple.

It is almost a foregone conclusion to follow the old path of Android in the previous life.

But Android also stumbled at the beginning, and was directly stunned by Apple's "full touch screen, no keyboard" design. Half of the keyboard phones were developed and gave up, and then they began to fully embrace the touch screen.

It's not worth it to waste a lot of time in this way.

The first mobile phone of the Android camp, the G1, was launched by HTC.

When the IPhone series was born, it redefined the smartphone.

At that time, there was no one in the world who could fight!

HTC has transformed from a foundry to a mobile phone brand, and has had bad relations with former customers.

A dead horse is a living horse doctor, so he began to flirt with Andrew.

As a result, once they were blended, they really caught up with a good opportunity.

Although it couldn't beat Apple, HTC equipped with Android was the only mobile phone manufacturer that could compete with Apple at that time.

With the help of this wave of smart phones, HTC has overwhelmed a lot of competitors, and has been prosperous for several years, becoming the king of Android phones and synonymous with the Android camp.

This was a good opportunity for overtaking on a curve, Xia Jingxing felt that it should not be handed over to HTC, but to incubate a mobile phone brand under his control.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Jingxing said to Andy with a serious face: "To promote the Android system, you need an experimental mobile phone equipped with this system, and it will debut in an extremely shocking way."

He looked at Andy, and asked again: "You don't think that after the system is developed, mobile phone manufacturers will come to discuss cooperation immediately, right?

These people must see the benefits, must see the sales of mobile phones equipped with the Android system soar, and see a lot of money in their pockets...

Believe me, Android needs a first partner! "

"You want to help Android make the first phone?" Andy asked.

"Yes, didn't you just ask me a lot about mobile phone design? I happen to have some experience in this, and want to create an unprecedented mobile phone."

Andy smiled, "Daren, it's not that I look down on you. You don't have any foundation in the hardware industry. What do you use to build it?"

Xia Jingxing pointed to his own brain, "Let's rely on this!"

Andy waved his hand, "Daren, don't keep going around in circles, I hope to hear your truest thoughts."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Okay, then I'll just say it straight, android is the left hand, and the mobile phone company is the right hand, I hope to grasp it with both hands.

As for the conflict of interests between the two companies and other partners after Android formed the mobile phone alliance, we will coordinate it at that time.

Don't worry about it for now, the first priority is to create the first mobile phone. "

Andy almost understood what the other party meant, this one wanted to take advantage of both sides.

But at present, he has not even seen the other party's mobile phone brand, so how can he believe it.

"Daren, you are a well-known entrepreneur in the social industry, but you are completely new to the hardware field.

Building a mobile phone brand from scratch is not an easy task. "

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "I said it before, this is a wave of technology, an opportunity to reshuffle the mobile phone industry.

Giants are destined to fall, and new stars are destined to appear. "

Andy didn't know where the other party got so much confidence, so he didn't mention the mobile phone at all, and talked about the operating system again.

"I don't want to sell Android?"

For the other party's answer, Xia Jingxing felt that it was normal, and it was impossible to convince the other party immediately.

Of course, if you understand it with reason, move it with emotion, and promise it with profit.

"The development process of a mobile phone operating system is a bottomless pit, destined to burn a lot of money."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "I heard that you were almost kicked out by the landlord because you delayed paying the rent, but Perlman rushed to the bank to withdraw 10,000 US dollars to lend you, and became your seed investor. "

Andy said with a smile: "You even know this, it seems that you have investigated us very carefully!"

"Not only that, I also know that in order to start Android, you took out all your savings, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't ask your friends to borrow money again and again."

Andy didn't speak, which meant that his feet were sore.

For Android, he begs all his belongings.

Once you fail, you will have nothing.

Xia Jingxing observed the situation and continued: "To support the research and development of Android, there must be a huge treasury behind it, the kind that can support you with an unlimited budget."

Andy smiled and said, "Daren, listen to what you mean, you can be our treasury and invest unlimited money for us?"

Xia Jingxing nodded slightly.

Andy smiled and said, "Daren, with all due respect, Facebook is all about valuation and it's not listed. You probably don't have much cash, do you?"

"I sold 10% of Facebook."

Andy froze for a moment, then fell silent.

One billion US dollars, even in the United States, this is a huge amount of money, and it is still cash, not many people can take it out.

"You have to think about it, Android not only entrusts your entrepreneurial dream, but also entrusts the support and help of your friends around you.

If half of the research and development is done, there will be no money, and success will fail.

Not only are you ashamed of your friends, but your entrepreneurial ideals cannot be realized. "

Xia Jingxing said with a faint smile, "I am firmly optimistic about the future of smartphones, and I can help your dreams."

Andy leaned on his chin with his hand, thinking quietly.

The other party has money and can support Android to continue research and development.

Moreover, he also knows certain technologies and is not a layman. After the acquisition, when everyone works together, it will be much easier to communicate.

All in all, not too bad.

"I need to discuss this with my buddies!"

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Of course I can, I just hope to reply to me as soon as possible."
