Rebirth of England

After all, both iOS and Android have been launched for two years. At this time, Google still faces considerable difficulties in catching up.

"But we can't take it lightly. Android still needs to speed up its research and development progress."

"Android has been undergoing small-scale updates. The next major version update will be before Christmas."

In March and April of the beginning of the year, the Android system was officially upgraded to version 2.0, named Froyo (frozen yogurt).

In addition, according to user feedback on the new version, the Android system has also been undergoing some small-scale version updates. Currently, the Android system has been updated to version 2.35.

Just as Barron said before, facing Google's GOS system, the Android system should use their first-mover advantage to keep the GOS system catching up from behind, and by the way, it can also use some new related patents to build barriers to make GOS's pursuit difficult to continue.

Although in terms of company size, Google's strength is now far stronger than Android.

But it is also because of this that Google is involved in many fields, which means that they have strong competitors in various fields.

So how determined is Google to invest in mobile phone operating systems?

It is very likely that when their investment in this field is disproportionate to the gains, or when they are being pulled away by Apple and Android with a relatively large advantage, Google will stop losses in time and end this business.

In any case, Android's Android system needs to compete with the iOS system all the time. If in the process, Google's GOS system is killed by the way, it would be good.

"My father said he wanted to see you, dear."

Hearing Ivanta say this at the end, Barron couldn't help but be stunned.

Why did he suddenly feel like he was going to meet his parents - the key is that her father, Golden Retriever... uh no, it's Jianguo. In Barron's previous life, every word and deed left him too deep an impression...

If he was going to meet the other party, it would feel a bit weird.

Barron really couldn't imagine if Jianguo suddenly said "China!" when they were chatting, would Barron be able to hold back his laughter...

But it's normal to think about it, just like the relationship between Ivanta and Barron, even if she kept it a secret from everyone, it's unlikely that she would keep it a secret from her father - the simplest point is that the source of IC Capital's funds, as the closest family member, Ivanta is also difficult to hide.

And since Ivanta proposed it, Barron certainly couldn't refuse - although with his current status, he has the initiative to meet the other party, but after all, he and Ivanta have such a relationship now, and he has raped her daughter. If he doesn't even meet her once, it's not appropriate.

"Of course, when is he free?"

Hearing Barron's words, Ivanta finally became happy:

"Is it a little sudden? In fact, he has mentioned it to me several times, but don't worry, I will coordinate the time, dear."

Barron knew that Ivanta had mentioned this matter suddenly, but it happened that her father went overseas to discuss a hotel project during this period, so they had to wait until both of them were suitable to arrange a meeting.

I don't know why, Barron suddenly looked forward to meeting Jianguo. What's going on...

...

After the Federal Reserve began to "flood the market", that is, to implement quantitative easing policies, the financial market on Wall Street finally showed signs of activity.

This is easy to understand. After all, with the increase in money supply, funds need to start looking for investment directions.

This is also the result that Wall Street capital hopes to see.

After Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch acquired BGI, the fund management department of Barclays Bank, and merged it into Merrill Lynch Investment. With the advent of the "flooding" era, ETF funds have also entered the development stage.

Merrill Lynch Investment's ETF fund iShare, which originally belonged to BGI, is also gearing up to absorb funds.

It is also worth mentioning that BlackRock, which lost in the bidding for BGI with Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch, did not expand its fund management scale by merging BGI like Barron did in his previous life, and obtained the iShare fund, thus making a big move in the ETF field.

But they also did not fall behind too much. Not long ago, BlackRock merged with Morgan Stanley's fund management department, also expanding its fund management scale in another way, and also began to establish their ETF funds.

Morgan Stanley, by merging its fund management department with BlackRock, can also avoid relevant financial supervision and focus their main energy on the brokerage business - and by holding shares of BlackRock, they can also obtain dividends from its future development.

It can be said that it is also a very smart approach.

After all, BlackRock's Aladdin system is unique in investment risk management. Morgan Stanley's fund management department also used BlackRock's Aladdin system before. After the merger, the two parties can reduce operating costs and obtain higher returns.

Of course, it is inevitable that Barron's DS Group's shareholding in BlackRock will be diluted.

"It is obvious that from the current performance, the future wealth management field will be more and more concentrated on the head, thus producing some large-scale, trillions or even trillions of large fund management groups. The operating costs of these companies can be reduced accordingly, and because of their scale, their ability to resist risks will also be strengthened."

Sean, the former CEO of Merrill Lynch, is currently the chairman of the securities and wealth management department of Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch.

Speaking of which, he is also quite tragic. During the subprime mortgage crisis, after his predecessor resigned due to the huge losses of Merrill Lynch, he became the "fire captain" and served as the CEO of Merrill Lynch.

But Merrill Lynch could not survive after all and was eventually acquired by Standard Chartered. However, he was lucky enough to become the chairman of the bond and wealth management department of Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch, which was almost the main business of Merrill Lynch before.

And through subsequent acquisitions, especially after the merger with Barclays Bank's fund management department BGI, the scale of business that Thain was responsible for was even higher than that of Merrill Lynch.

Thain certainly had no problem with his ability, and what he said was in line with future trends.

Before Barron was reborn in his previous life, the main resources in the financial field and wealth management of the United States and even the world were concentrated in giants such as BlackRock, Vanguard Group, and State Street Corporation.

Especially BlackRock, it is not an exaggeration to say that it controls the economic lifeline of many countries.
