My Age of Investment

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

Zhou Guangping even suggested: "Mr. Xia, there are still two prototypes. Didn't you just complain that the game was not finished? Let's bring it here, and you continue to play and test.

If there is any problem, we find it early and solve it early. "

"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 were right in your criticism just now.

I seriously reflected, and found that after the prototype was built, the whole company seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and they were not as enthusiastic and active in the research and development work as they used to be.

Compared with last year, our company seems to have lost a kind of hard-working spirit. It is too easy to be satisfied. This is not good. It is easy to stagnate and lose the spirit of enterprising. "

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

Sometimes he couldn't understand Zhou Guangping, and sometimes he performed well and sometimes he performed poorly, which was quite complicated.

Andy Rubin said: "Daren, here, I also want to make a sincere review on behalf of the team. The comfortable office environment and ample research and development funds have killed our fighting spirit and even created inertia.

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

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

Others also spoke one after another, making their own self-criticism.

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Okay, as long as everyone keeps a clear mind like now, why don't we have a place in the mobile phone market.

Well, I won’t say any extra words, everything depends on the performance of actions, when the day of success comes, distribute according to work, and reward according to merit. "

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Soon, the remaining two prototype phones were delivered.

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

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

The executives of both companies breathed a sigh of relief, as long as 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 soon bounced back to the main interface.

He even tried several times, all the same.

Seeing this, the executives all sweated and waited for the storm to come.

But Xia Jingxing reacted calmly, without getting angry, and gently placed the phone on the table.

"This kind of program flashback is also a big problem. Remember to check it together to find out the root cause of the problem."

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

Seeing that the boss really didn't seem to blame him, the executives all smiled along with him, and the atmosphere immediately became more relaxed.

At this time, Xia Jingxing put on a serious face again, "But I must emphasize that research and development requires a realistic and pragmatic spirit.

It is not terrible to have problems, but we are afraid that we will deceive ourselves, or set a very low expectation for ourselves. "

The boss turned his face faster than a book, and the smiles of many people froze in mid-air.

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

Lin Bing looked at Xia Jingxing solemnly. All the arrogance brought about by his temporary success before had been knocked out, and he was beaten to the core. Now he can look at the various flaws exposed by the phone with a normal mind.

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

The meeting was over quickly.

Everyone else left, only Andy Rubin stayed.

Looking at his boss who was sitting on the opposite chair and smiling at him, Andy Rubin also smiled, "Daren, I have something I want to talk to you about.

"

Xia Jingxing folded his hands on his chest, "Okay, tell me."

"Next, we need to carry out a new round of research and development upgrades on the Android system, and funding is a bit tight."

Andy Rubin glanced at Xia Jingxing cautiously, his demeanor and movements were like a child asking his parents for more pocket money, timidly.

Last year, Xia Jingxing injected 50 million US dollars into Android, and it has already been spent.

Android has not generated a penny of income so far, and there are still problems with the test mobile phone. Andy Rubin himself feels embarrassed, and he lacks the confidence to ask for money.

"Okay, I get it, I will inject 100 million US dollars to you in a while, and continue to expand the size of the R\u0026D team. The R\u0026D work must not stop."

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

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

How far we can go depends on how many mobile phone manufacturers choose Android, so this first shot must be fired. "

Andy Rubin understood the hint, nodded, and said with a smile, "Daren, just rest assured, I will definitely cooperate with my Chinese colleagues in their work."

"Okay, then I won't say more, 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 he received the call from the boss's secretary, Lin Bing was stunned for a long time. The boss suddenly asked him to have dinner at home. What does this mean?

Then he thought of a possibility.

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

In order to show courtesy, Xia Jingxing personally went to the door to greet Lin Bing.

Seeing the suit Lin Bing was wearing and the gift box he was carrying, Xia Jingxing wanted to laugh, "You don't need to be so formal, we are all friends in private."

"Mr. Xia, it's the first time I come to your house, what do I look like with my bare hands, I need to make a good impression."

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

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

"Are you still used to working in the United States?"

Lin Bing smiled, "It's nothing I'm not used to, Mr. Xia, you forgot, I have studied and worked in the United States for ten years."

Xia Jingxing remembered that this guy had worked in Microsoft's US headquarters for several years, and was later sent by Microsoft to China to set up Microsoft Asia Research Institute. He was 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 product launch event of the company's first mobile phone should be held in the United States. The storm caused by smartphones will be sent back to China across the Pacific Ocean, which can give our brand a lot of points.

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

Xia Jingxing smiled, it was easy to talk to smart people, and he immediately understood what he meant.

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

Lin Bing knew that this matter could not be concealed, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "There are no major conflicts, but there are some minor frictions at work..."

After Xia Jingxing listened to it, he realized that Zhou Guangping was indeed the one who took the lead in making troubles, as he had guessed.

"Actually, Guangping can't be blamed for this matter. He has a straight-forward personality, and he speaks out both good and bad things directly..." Lin Bing excused Zhou Guangping.

Xia Jingxing just wanted to know what happened, and he had already given a serious warning, and he didn't intend to settle accounts after the fall.

He waved his hand and said, "It's over, let's just let it go, if there are any bad signs in the future, you have to tell me in time."

Lin Bing repeatedly said yes.

"The U.S. branch will be recruiting heavily in the future, and the work tasks will be very heavy. We need someone who can hold the scene to be the president."

Xia Jingxing glanced at Lin Bing, smiled and said, "I am more interested in you, how about it, do you have the confidence to do well?"

Before coming, Lin Bing had a premonition that he was going to be promoted.

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

Lin Bing stood up and expressed his opinion without any refusal: "Mr. Xia, I have the confidence to do a good job! Thank you for giving me such a chance."

"Hahaha~, sit down!"

Xia Jingxing laughed and waved his hands. The position of the president of the North American branch does not seem to be high, not as high as the vice president of the Chinese headquarters, but in fact he is a low-ranking and powerful person.

To put it simply, the main consumers of smart phones are Yankees. The domestic market for high-end phones is still relatively small at the moment, and it is not so easy to conquer. Nokia and Motorola will return to it.

For a period of time to come, the mobile phone company's resources will be prioritized and focused on 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 is very clear about the doorways here, so he is so excited and happy.

"Temporarily, we need to put a word "generation" on it. After the mobile phone is launched and sales are opened, this code word can be cancelled."

Although Xia Jingxing is the major shareholder and CEO, he can push Lin Bing to the top, but he doesn't want to do that.

At present, the mobile phone is not yet on the market, and it is in the research and development stage. The performances of the several vice presidents are similar, and no one's credit is particularly obvious. The promotion is well-known, otherwise it is easy to secretly create suspicion. This is one of them.

The second is to draw a cake to hang Lin Bing. After the job is done, the code will be canceled, and the motivation for this struggle will not be there.

Lin Bing instantly understood what the boss meant. He had no dissatisfaction and felt that it was justified.

He nodded and said, "President Xia, I understand, I will prove myself with practical actions."

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