Reinventing the Millennium

A total of two days were set aside from the confirmation to the holding of the industry meeting.

In the past two days, Fang Zhuo has not been idle. He no longer tries to pull the other three companies to reach a consensus, but communicates one-on-one. The main purpose is to try to let them hold on for these days and never surrender.

If you really want to vote, don't vote before yourself.

As a smokescreen, Nokia executives' agreement to attend successfully aroused curiosity in both Sandel and Lee Kitai.

Can Nokia really get involved with such a mobile phone system?

Does Android, which aims to be open source, really break the boundaries between manufacturers first?

Or could Yike's Fang Zhuo even convince Nokia?

Neither Sandel nor Li Jitai asked about their doubts.

Stringer, who had a closer relationship, asked directly.

Fang Zhuo had a one-on-one conversation for two days without even talking about it. Faced with the old jazz's curiosity, he could only smile bitterly: "I can't even convince Motorola and Samsung. How can you convince a mobile phone giant like Nokia?" Get it in?"

"The future of the alliance is not good." Stringer also saw that something was wrong with the situation.

"No matter what, Yi Ke and Sony stand together." Fang Zhuo reiterated the strength of the Yi Suo alliance.

Stringer agrees: "Our cooperation between Sony and Yike is unbreakable."

Two days passed quickly, and the global mobile phone industry conference scheduled to be held at the Silicon Valley Hotel was held with great fanfare.

Wall Street reporters have already come looking for him.

I didn’t know this, but I was shocked. It is said that the top companies in the global mobile phone market have been plotting for a long time to jointly promote the development of smartphones.

It is also said that hardware manufacturers are competing with the famous search engine Google for the right to speak on a mobile operating system.

It is also said that this time, hardware manufacturers have broken down barriers as never before and will jointly create an open mobile phone system based on Linux, promoting the entire industry to make great strides forward.

On the afternoon of April 15, a reporter from Dow Jones Newswires interviewed Fang Zhuo, the "rumored" president of Yike.

"Mr. Fang, I heard that you are a key figure in promoting the mobile phone hardware alliance. You are even trying to get Nokia to participate. Is there such a thing? Is it going to happen or has it already happened?"

Fang Zhuo laughed and answered the blonde reporter's question: "Haha, I always believe that good things will happen. I'm not sure about the coverage of this mobile phone hardware alliance you mentioned, but if we understand the same, I There may have been some results that could not be called successful.”

"How did this happen?" the beautiful reporter continued to ask, and added, "Alliances often mean the sacrifice of interests. How can you get Nokia and Motorola to sit down and negotiate?"

Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "Pessimistic people only see sacrifices, while optimistic people often see gains. It's not me who can make Nokia and Motorola sit down and talk, but the ever-increasing number of mobile phone users around the world and their increasing smart needs." .”

"We must pay attention to this and realize that the majority of technology companies must serve the latest needs of users."

"I think it's because Motorola and Nokia can do this that they're so successful."

The beautiful reporter asked again: "Is Google also interested in participating in this matter? I heard that you are in fierce competition with Google?"

When she raised this question, Larry and Sergey, who had stopped to listen to Mr. Fang's answer to the media interview, turned around and left. They seemed to have heard what they wanted to hear.

Fang Zhuo saw the two people leaving from the corner of his eye. His smile and answers seemed to have lost their support. He replied lazily: "Really? Maybe. Okay, that's it. Thank you for the interview."

President Dongfang nodded in greeting and accepted the business card handed over by the reporter.

In fact, this is not the first interview he has accepted with a financial media. In the past two days, he has spoken to the media through video or text, directly confirming that there is indeed a small-scale hardware alliance.

At the same time, everyone is interested in a smarter and more open mobile phone system.

I don’t know if the gust of wind has reached Google, but the people from Texas Instruments made the call first.

Fang Zhuo and Deyi had dealt with each other when Bingxin was seeking purchase permission. When asked about the mobile operating system this time, he could only say helplessly that he had brother Sony in front of him, and there was Motorola in front of brother Sony.

As Yike has never made a mobile phone, I would like to know who is really in charge.

The relationship with Deyi ended with inquiries. They didn't mean to start an investigation, but more to promote their own system.

At 2:50 pm, the meeting is about to begin.

Fang Zhuo was sitting in the front row, holding an English speech in his hand. On his left and right were Yike's senior executives.

"Xiao Yu, this manuscript is well written."

He glanced back and saw Nokia's executive vice president Anderson, and he leisurely praised the speech written by Xiao Yu, which called for joint development of mobile phone systems.

Because Android's Android system is based on the Linux kernel and licensed under the GPL (General Public License), its framework is open source.

"I saw Larry and Sergey whispering." Yu Hong tilted her head slightly, paying attention to the two founders of Google.

Fang Zhuo glanced at the venue generously.

Google's Larry and Sergey were whispering.

Android's Rubin is in high spirits.

Samsung’s Lee Ki-tae looked solemn.

Sony's Stringer squints and sleeps.

Motorola's Sandel leered at Nokia's Andersen.

The guests in the conference hall have basically sat down, and reporters from different angles have also adjusted their cameras.

Yu Hong turned her head over and suddenly saw Mr. Fang smiling at her.

She was a little confused: "Why are you smiling at me?"

"The president of Yike is smiling at the vice president." Fang Zhuo shrugged and rolled up the speech in his hand.

Just as Motorola's CEO walked onto the stage and was about to announce the start of the industry conference, Google's Larry and Sergey came from the side aisle to the first row where Fangzhuo was.

"Hey, Larry, Sandel is going to give a speech." Fang Zhuo pointed to the stage.

Larry smiled and said: "I think this atmosphere is suitable for us to chat again."

"Xiao Yu, please come on stage for me later." Fang Zhuo handed the speech to Yu Hong and said to the other vice president, "Clark, you go to the back seat, I want to talk to Larry."

The seats to the left and right of Fang Zhuo became vacant.

Larry and Sergey sat on opposite sides.

Sandel on the stage frowned when he saw this scene, but still announced the start of the industry conference in an enthusiastic voice, greeting guests from Silicon Valley and media reporters from different regions.

"Have you contacted Samsung?"

Fang Zhuo asked with a determined attitude before Larry could speak.

Larry raised his eyebrows slightly and asked without answering directly: "Did you know that Motorola is cooperating with Apple to produce an iTunes mobile phone?"

Fang Zhuo did not hide his surprise, and also did not answer. He asked again: "You only increased the purchase price by five million this time. Do you think the Android company's price has reached the top?"

"Nokia is a scam, right?" Larry replied with a short question.

"Apple's mobile phones are not a threat to us. Nokia attaches great importance to this time." Fang Zhuo finally answered the question.

"We are waiting for a clearer attitude from Samsung. Google has no upper limit on the acquisition price of Android companies." Larry also answered two questions.

The enthusiastic voice of Motorola CEO echoed in my ears.

Fang Zhuo and Larry each savored the other's answer.

"Google needs control of Android." Larry stated the bottom line.

"Yike can make an unprecedented and excellent mobile phone." Fang Zhuo expressed confidence.

Larry laughed: "Do you want me to trust a company that has never made a mobile phone?"

Fang Zhuo nodded: "Just like I believe that a search engine is really determined to promote the research and development of mobile phone systems."

Leader Sang's speech ended.

The audience burst into warm applause.

Fang Zhuo and Larry also clapped softly.

The second person to take the stage was Yu Hong, the vice president of Yike.

She explained in fluent English the company's appeal to the industry, pointed out the growth trend of mobile phones year after year, and finally praised the efforts of today's mobile phone manufacturers.

When Yu Hong finished her speech and saw that the people from Google had left Mr. Fang, she sat back down in her seat.

"Did you vote?" Yu Hong asked in a low voice as she watched the president of Samsung Electronics take the stage.

Fang Zhuo sighed: "Why vote? This is called peacemaking."

A small deal between two amateur companies to acquire a mobile operating system.
