Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

California is the third largest continent in the United States, but has the largest population among the states in the United States. The origins of movies, hippie culture, the Internet and personal computers are all here. San Francisco and Los Angeles were still the centers of global technology and entertainment at this time.

.

But in the past year or so, Ning Zimo has never had time to observe this city. At that time, Ning Zimo once complained to his partners that Beibao's engineers had never known anything about wearing stars and wearing moons, let alone

What is urban culture?

So "pi xing dai yue" was adopted by many engineers for their own use, and another sentence comparable to it also came from Ning Zimo's mouth.

"If you want to find me, if I am not discussing projects in the conference room, I will be typing code in front of my computer."

One word, one sentence, expresses the bitterness of Beibao engineers, but everything that was once worth paying for has become a thing of the past. Ning Zimo was taking Li Ying to the next destination, a

Destinations related to ambitious plans.

On May 15, Li Ying officially left McKinsey & Company. Unlike Ning Zimo, other McKinsey people except her mentor and team would not pay much attention to Li Ying's departure. McKinsey is so big that it can happen at any time.

Talent reserves for personnel mobility.

Someone took over Li Ying's job, and she found her dream team. Li Ying's mentor, Chris, did not do much to persuade her to stay except for his blessing. Chris understood his students, and she wanted to pursue her dreams, and Chris also felt that it was time

Already.

After only one day's rest, Li Ying came to meet Ning Zimo. On the one hand, Li Ying was eager to enter a new rhythm, and on the other hand, Ning Zimo needed her partner to quickly enter the new rhythm.

So on Friday, May 17, the two of them officially rushed to the destination related to Ning Zimo's grand plan - San Francisco.

San Francisco and San Jose are both part of California. This is Ning Zimo’s first time visiting this famous city. The driver is still Li Ying, and the car is still Levchin’s. Ning Zi is still the only one who allows girls to be drivers.

Only a shameless person like Mo could do it.

Ning Zimo came to San Francisco this time for one purpose, which was to meet Andy Rubin. The father of Android in his previous life, the Danger company he currently founded is located in San Francisco, California.

Well, the future father of Android is still making mobile phones and making a smartphone that transcends the times.

In fact, Ning Zimo had tried every means to get in touch with Andy Robin when he was still growing flowers. During the period since the two met, Andy's work at Danger Company was focused on sidekick, the prototype of a smartphone.

, Ning Zimo and Andy conducted various in-depth discussions and research, and Andy also accepted a lot of Ning Zimo’s suggestions for their new products.

Andy is very much looking forward to the future development prospects of smart devices described by Ning Zimo, and at the same time, he is filled with admiration for meeting a genius with as far-sighted vision as himself.

Seeing Ning Zimo this time, Ning Zimo was sure of one thing from his confirming eyes.

The new ideas he brought to the father of Android in his previous life had a great impact on him.

"Man, we finally meet!"

Andy gave Ning Zimo a big hug as soon as they met. After letting go of him, he excitedly held his arm and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Andy looked at Li Ying next to Ning Zimo and said with a smile, "Now you are not only famous in Silicon Valley, but you are also a beauty!"

"You can tell it's me just by my last name? This is my new partner, Li." Ning Zimo rubbed his nose and hurriedly introduced him to Andy.

Li Ying greeted Andy generously, and the two briefly chatted.

Then, as if Andy suddenly remembered something, he took out a strange-shaped mobile phone from the box in his hand, opened the machine and entered the interface, and then handed it to Ning Zimo.

"Here, this is the sidekick engineering machine I prepared for you. I know you don't like phone calls, so I have applied for a mobile phone card for you in advance. Now you can experience this epoch-making product."

Although I have seen pictures of this phone through the Internet in my previous life, this is a real phone. When I held it in my hands for the first time, this sidekick was still very different from traditional phones. Ning Zimo was careful

Playing with this unique product.

This is a device that integrates pda functions with a horizontal design. It has a 2.6-inch 16-level grayscale LCD screen. After opening the upper sliding cover, a five-row small keyboard with backlight function is displayed on the body.

superior.

This legendary phone can surf the Internet, integrates Fengyu search engines, and can even send and receive emails, and chat using AOL’s instant messenger. In addition to these business functions, it can also play online games, read emails and novels, which is important

What's more, it has the basic communication functions of a mobile phone.

The most exaggerated thing for Ning Zimo, who has seen smartphones before, is that such a small thing has a built-in infrared port and USB interface. Users can easily synchronize it with the data in the computer. Schedule, address book,

appointment, reminder.

"It's almost a simplified version of a computer!" Ning Zimo raised his eyebrows and took out the motorcycle v70 in his bag to compare.

"Of course, ours is a higher-end smart device that must be able to work together with a PC." Andy held up his arms to support himself proudly.

Ning Zimo could tell that Andy was particularly disdainful of the motorcycle v70 in his hand. He played with the sidekick for a long time. After Andy introduced all the features of this product, he also specifically entered danger in the default search in Fengyu.

He made a query, but the information he got was not the information he wanted about Danger Company.

"Isn't Feng Yu not doing well at this time?" Ning Zimo pursed his lips and smiled at Li Ying.

"Fengyu has only been founded a few years ago. Although it has the core technology patent of PageRank, it is not an absolute leader in the search field. I chose Fenyu as the default search engine at that time because I just thought it was an emerging search engine.

It's just a relatively good engine, it's purely a personal preference." Andy said with his hands spread out.

Andy thought that Ning Zimo was disdainful of the sidekick function settings, and patiently explained it to him. However, Ning Zimo just disdained the Fengyu search technology at this time.

Fengyu in this era is far less powerful than in the previous life, not only because there is no breakthrough in technology, but also because there is not as much rich content as in the previous life. Especially, after Ning Zimo’s next plan is implemented, Fengyu will be even more lacking.

A core function.

The famous Fengyu,

Among the many future giants, he is the easiest to beat.

"How about we come into the company and take a look?" Andy patted Ning Zimo's arm.

"Let's go," Ning Zimo stretched greatly.

Although San Jose is not far from Palo Alto, riding in a car is still very frustrating for those with long legs. On the other hand, Li Ying, who was standing beside her, took the first step out as if she was tireless.

"Wow, super powerful rabbit. Let's go, our product design director Mathias is waiting for you. He has always wanted to see what the genius I call a genius looks like. I wonder if he will be surprised when he sees you so young.

I was so surprised that my jaw dropped to the floor.”

"Matthias, this is Ning, this is his partner - Li"

Before Ning Zimo had time to take a closer look at the white-skinned man, he rushed up to him and gave him a big hug. After all, he had stayed here for more than a year, and Ning Zimo had become accustomed to the way Westerners greeted him.

He patted Matthias on the shoulder and responded.

Mathias also held Ning Zimo's arms like Andy did, "My God, you are so strong. You are the only technician I have ever seen who is both strong and young at the same time."

Li Ying heard Mathias' praise of Ning Zimo from the side, and her iconic crescent moon eyes were exposed again. With her look, she was naturally taken care of by Mathias. The two briefly talked about taking care of her.

After a few words, Andy motioned for several people to continue moving forward.

"Let's sit down and have a good chat." Andy led the way to a reception room, turned around and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"A cup of Italian coffee." Ning Zimo snapped his fingers.

"Two drinks, please."

"Wow, I thought you Chinese all liked drinking tea." Mathias said curiously.

"To be honest, I stayed in the United States for a year and found that the American people's tea ceremony skills can't compare with our flower cultivation. So, after leaving the hometown of tea, I'd better have a cup of coffee to wake up." Ning Zimo

He curled his lips and said.

"I really don't understand why you are so young, why you are used to drinking such bitter things." Although Andy muttered, he moved very quickly. After a while, he returned to the reception room with four cups of stuff and put the four cups in his hands.

Drinks are handed out to people seated.

Li Ying sat quietly aside, watching Mathias and Ning Zimo exchange concepts. Andy would also chime in on areas he was interested in. The three of them chatted for two or three hours.

The more the conversation continued, the more satisfied Andy and Mathias became, and the eyes that looked at Ning Zimo became more and more sparkling.

"Ning, the more we chat, the more I can find more highlights in you. Andy and I are very happy that you can come to our company this time."

"Thank you for your compliment." Ning Zimo accepted it generously.

Mathias looked at Andy, and after Andy nodded, he couldn't wait to ask, "Ning, I heard Andy say that you have finished your work at Beibao. Have you ever considered joining our company?

I think if you join our company, our danger will definitely take off."

Ning Zimo shook his head, put down the coffee cup in his hand and said solemnly, "Matthias, Andy, thank you very much for the invitation. It's also a pleasure chatting with you, but I'm sorry, the purpose of my coming to danger this time is not

Join your company".

Seeing that the two people in front of him were a little disappointed with his answer, Ning Zimo explained, "Guys, you have also seen that I have some practical ideas about smart devices. If I join Danger, I will be bound to you.

In some frameworks, my ideas will not be realized."

Ning Zimo looked at the corner of his mouth, tapped Li Ying beside him with one hand, and said with a smile, "So, I am more willing to start a company to realize this dream."
