Reborn to dominate technology

The next day, in Lu Haifeng's office, Xiao Ai came in and said, "President Lu, the people from Samsung have arrived."

"Then take them to the conference room first. Have you heard from the other companies?" Lu Haifeng asked.

Xiao Ai replied, "President Lu, Fruit from Beautiful Country, Microsoft, Nokia, and Google have all sent documents. Their people have already arrived in Daxia Country and hope to have a meal with you to talk. Also, domestic companies like Ali and Huawei have also sent documents."

Isn't it customary to follow local customs? Lu Haifeng was not unknown in the tech world, and now he was quite famous. Therefore, it was a characteristic of Daxia Country people to like discussing business at the dinner table. Moreover, they especially wanted to obtain the system accelerator technology. When you need someone's help, you naturally lower your stance.

Lu Haifeng narrowed his eyes and said to Xiao Ai, "Tell them to come to my company to talk. After they arrive, take them all to the conference room. Call me when everyone is here."

Around ten o'clock in the morning, luxury cars drove to Huaxing Technology. The people who came included George, the vice president of Fruit Company, Hammond, the vice president of Nokia, and the vice presidents of Microsoft, etc.! As well as the investment departments of Huawei and Ali.

After a while, Xiao Ai came in and said, "President Lu, they have all arrived."

"Okay, let's go to the conference room."

After Lu Haifeng arrived at the conference room, he saw everyone staring at each other. Pu Xingcai only saw Lu Haifeng and hurriedly ran over and said, "President Lu, can we sign the contract now? Once the contract is signed, the money will be in the account immediately."

He knew what these people were here for and regretted not signing the contract yesterday. He was afraid of any accidents, so now he wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible.

Lu Haifeng said, "What contract are we signing? I didn't say I wanted financing yesterday, did I?"

Pu Xingcai looked confused and said, "You didn't yesterday, didn't..."

"Did you see me say yesterday that I wanted financing or to sell the company?" Only now did Pu Xingcai realize that he had unilaterally assumed it was about financing yesterday.

Lu Haifeng bypassed Pu Xingcai and faced the others, saying, "My company has not considered financing or selling the company. I know you are here for the system accelerator. It doesn't have much use here with me since I don't make operating systems. I might consider selling it."

Actually, they were the most nervous. Just now, when Pu Xingcai said to sign the contract, they wanted to interrupt. If Samsung signed the contract first, then what would they get?

"President Lu, you said you would sell the system accelerator. What are the conditions? If possible, Google will agree to everything," said Google's Vice President Smith.

The other companies all replied, not wanting Google to steal the show.

Lu Haifeng replied, "I only accept cash, no stocks or anything like that. I will ship the goods after the money arrives, and the highest bidder gets it."

"I have no problem with that, President Lu. I would like to ask if the system accelerator developers will be employed at our headquarters," Smith said.

Lu Haifeng knew that Smith wanted to get his hands on the developers, but what he didn't know was that Li Gang was the only developer. If Li Gang really went to Google, what would he do?

Lu Haifeng said, "The system accelerator developers will not be employed by your company. I developed it myself over three years. When I was developing it, not many people were using Google's Android system! I developed it according to the Microsoft system. I originally wanted to launch it, but I was too busy and forgot about it later."

When Lu Haifeng learned from Liang Cong that Microsoft was coming, he had already instructed Li Gang to develop system accelerators for all operating systems, so that they would fight each other and he could rip them off properly.

"Can the computer operating system also be accelerated? How much is the acceleration?" asked the Vice President of Microsoft.

"The computer operating system can be accelerated by about 60%."

"Can the Fruit IOS system be accelerated?" asked the Vice President of Fruit Company.

"All systems can be accelerated, but the acceleration is different. You can test it yourself. I will send you the unsealed system accelerator later. It can be downloaded twenty times and will be automatically formatted after half an hour."

"I have something to do and will go out for a while. I will be back in half an hour. The highest bidder gets it then," Lu Haifeng said, and then went out, letting them test it themselves.

Half an hour passed, and Lu Haifeng came to the conference room and said, "Everyone has finished testing, right? Now you can bid. Let me say it again, the highest bidder gets it. Everyone must pay a deposit of 50 million first."

Google's Vice President said, "If no one is making a move, I will go first. 50 million US dollars."

"100 million," said the President of Samsung Daxia District.

"200 million..."

Soon the price increased by 100 million each time and quickly reached 1 billion. Lu Haifeng was directly shocked. How many mobile phones would he have to sell to make that much? More than 1 billion US dollars was almost 7 billion RMB now.

"1.01 billion," said the Vice President of Microsoft.

"1.03 billion," said the Vice President of Nokia.

"2 billion," said Google's Vice President Smith.

Seeing this, the others understood that Google was going to acquire the system accelerator at all costs. Google wanted to dominate the market. Nokia and Microsoft both had their own smartphone operating systems, but they just couldn't promote them. They were only one chance away, but they were unwilling to withdraw now.

For so many years, was Google giving away the system developed with tens of billions of US dollars every year for free? Of course not.

In the beginning, Google relied on free authorization to gain the support of mobile phone manufacturers and gain a huge market. Now, Google has occupied 70% of the smartphone market share. Although the Android system is free, it also has huge benefits.

For example, advertising, application download revenue sharing in the system app store, application recharge revenue sharing, etc., and there are other businesses. In short, although the Android system is free, Google can earn tens of billions of US dollars in revenue every year, and the profit is at least several billion US dollars. This amount of money is nothing.

In the end, Google spent 2.6 billion US dollars to acquire the system accelerator.

Lu Haifeng said, "Congratulations to Google for acquiring the system accelerator."

"Mr. Lu Haifeng, your company's development is a miracle. Half a year ago, it was just a small OEM factory, but half a year later, it has become a technology giant with a valuation of tens of billions," Google's Smith said happily.
