Chapter 2020 Lin Feng Miscalculated
Robin's partiality made Larry Page happy. Judging from Robin's attitude, at least his chance is the greatest. Thinking of this, Larry Page felt much more at ease. While quietly brewing the words for later, he wanted to see what words Lin Feng was going to use to impress Robin.
Although Lin Feng was angry about Robin's partiality, he could do nothing about it. First of all, except for himself, the other three were Americans. They were compatriots, but he was not. Secondly, Wu Zhaopu's neglect made Robin dissatisfied with his company, and it was understandable that he treated himself like this. However, Lin Feng still had some confidence.
"Mr. Robin, I don't need to describe the future of "Android" here. I'm afraid Mr. Page and Mr. Jobs would not be sitting here without broad prospects." Lin Feng smiled slightly and did not boast about the prospects of "Android". Although Jobs and Larry Page are optimistic about the prospects of "Android", they definitely don't know how terrible the market and influence of "Android" will be in the future as well as he, who has been reborn from the future.
"Mr. Robin, if you are willing to sell Android to me, you will still be the leader of Android, and I will invest $200 million to allow you to continue to develop the Android system. At the same time, I agree with your idea of freeing Android. In the Internet age, openness is the best. In addition, the Android system is not only used in..." Lin Feng smiled and threw out a bait.
"Where else can it be used?" Robin fell into the trap and asked anxiously.
"Mr. Robin, this will have to wait until we officially cooperate before we can tell you. After all, the two people present here are my direct competitors. You should be able to understand my difficulties." Lin Feng pointed at Jobs and Larry Page.
Jobs still kept his "Joe smile" unchanged, while Larry Page secretly pursed his lips, extremely disdainful of Lin Feng's secret.
After a moment of silence, Robin looked at Larry Page calmly.
"Mr. Page, you are the first to find me, and I really want to hear your opinion of my Android." Robin said.
"Mr. Robin, in my opinion, Android will be the most successful acquisition in the history of Ggle. I believe that Android can bring about earth-shaking changes to Ggle. If Ggle acquires Android, you will still be the leader of Android. Our company will not impose any restrictions on you and will provide you with a lot of funds for research. You only need to focus on developing Android and don't have to worry about anything." Larry Page hesitated for a moment and said helplessly.
At this moment, Larry Page really regretted that he spoke later than Lin Feng. Because although it seems to be a disadvantage to speak first, it will be advantageous when everyone knows everything. Look, what he said is almost what Lin Feng said, but he just changed a few words.
Fundamentally speaking, there is nothing new. Moreover, Lin Feng threw out a bait, but Larry Page did not have any bait. Although he also wanted to say that "Android" could be used in other aspects, he did not think of what other aspects the "Android system" could be used in at present. He was interested in "Android" because of his objective prospects in mobile phones. Besides, Larry Page didn't think that "Android" could do anything else. At least for the time being, he didn't think that "Android" could do anything else.
Robin frowned slightly. Obviously, Larry Page's answer did not satisfy him. Compared with Lin Feng, Larry Page lacked something to attract him. Lin Feng could give him the same conditions, or even better, plus the "more applications", which was enough for Robin to make a choice between Lin Feng and Larry Page.
Seeing Robin frowning slightly, Larry Page knew that he might have lost this time. There was no way, Lin Feng could give everything he could give, and even more. Robin saw Larry Page's sad expression one by one. In this regard, Robin did not feel any guilt or uneasiness. Good birds choose trees to live in, and he will naturally choose whoever has better conditions and treatment.
"B, what about you? How are you going to treat my "Android"?" Robin asked Jobs symbolically. In his mind, Jobs might have come here just to deliberately annoy Lin Feng. Robin was also aware of the little dispute between his former boss and Lin Feng. Therefore, he did not hold any hope for the answer that Jobs was about to give.
After all, "Android" and "Apple" are inherently in conflict.
"If 'Apple' acquires 'Android', it will be frozen forever!" Jobs smiled slightly and uttered an answer that displeased Robin, shocked Larry Page, and made Lin Feng frown.
"Mr. Jobs, in that case, I think there is nothing to talk about between us." Robin was displeased when he heard that Jobs was going to freeze his "Android" forever, and even changed his name, obviously very dissatisfied with Jobs.
Jobs didn't care, and the "Jobs' signature smile" was still on his face, a faint and confident smile.
"Andy, if Apple acquires Android, I will put it on ice, but you will not be useless. On the contrary, I will let you join the development of the i operating system and hire you as the chief software engineer!" Jobs said shockingly, throwing out an even more shocking bait.
Serve as the chief software engineer of the i operating system? - Robin's breathing was rapid.
i, this is a handheld device operating system independently developed by Apple. Regarding this system, the outside world is not very clear due to the closed nature of the "Apple" system, but due to the success of "Apple" in "i" and the success of "m--" independently developed in the notebook, this handheld device operating system is very worth looking forward to. And now he can serve as the chief R&D engineer of this operating system, which is very tempting for Robin.
Damn it! ——Lin Feng originally thought that he had already won the game, but he didn't expect that Jobs' sudden attack would bring new changes to things. Looking at Robin's excited expression, it is obvious that he is very excited.
"Robin, you left Apple before, is it appropriate to go back now? Moreover, Apple is a closed system, while the Android you designed is open. Does this conform to your design concept?" Lin Feng had to remind Robin on the side.
"Mr. Lin, that's wrong. Didn't I leave Apple and then go back? Now I was just named the most successful e in the United States last year, so I have every reason to believe that Andy can also become the most successful 'Chief Software Engineer'. Besides, when we left Apple, neither Andy nor I were glorious. Now I have made a perfect comeback and let Apple continue to bear my mark, so why can't Andy do the same?" Jobs smiled and defeated Lin Feng's argument.
"Also, the so-called closed and open are relative. You must know that in my conception, 'i' is not absolutely closed, but relatively closed. I will authorize those software development companies or programmers to develop applications based on 'i', and then sell the software through the 'i' platform to earn reasonable rewards. Can this be considered closed? Besides, as long as the world uses the 'i' system, there is no such thing as closed!" Jobs revealed his ambition for the mobile phone market.
The world uses 'i'? - Robin muttered a few words. If this is true, then closed and open are actually the same. Moreover, Jobs' description of providing a platform for all software developers to make money through the 'i' platform is indeed very attractive. You know, "Android" is completely free and does not charge any money. Although this is conducive to popularization, it also greatly restricts the enthusiasm of software developers.
Lin Feng's brows were furrowed into a Sichuan character. He did not expect that Jobs would do this.
"Mr. Robin, I think if you join 'Apple', you will give up the results of your years of hard work. Is it worth it!" Lin Feng said anxiously.
"No, Mr. Lin, you are totally wrong. Andy gave up only the term 'Android'. After he became the chief software engineer of 'Apple', he can completely transfer the advantages of 'Android' to 'i'. This is just a change of shell, so how can it be said to be abandoned!" Jobs immediately responded.
"No, Mr. Jobs, you can't say that. 'i' is 'i' after all, it is not 'Android'. And a closed system is a closed system, how can it be confused with an open system!" Lin Feng was not to be outdone and argued immediately.
"Mr. Lin, I'll say it again, whether it's 'i' or 'Android', it's just a name, and there's not much difference in itself, especially if Andy becomes the chief software engineer of 'i', the difference between the two may be even smaller." Jobs answered slowly.
Larry Page was very happy to see Lin Feng and Jobs arguing with each other. Although 'ggle' was doomed to lose in the acquisition of the 'Android' system this time, didn't Lin Feng get any benefits? Being taken away by 'Jobs' would not hurt 'ggle' much, but if it was taken away by Lin Feng, it would not only make Lin Feng angry but also make him stronger. So, emotionally speaking, Larry Page hoped that Jobs would take the ownership of 'Android'.
Of course, he would not favor anyone. These two guys were the 'Satan' who took away his 'Android', and he just wanted to watch the show now.
"Okay, please stop arguing, I have made a decision about the ownership of 'Android'." Robin suddenly stood up.
Lin Feng and Jobs looked at Robin, wanting to know what his final answer was. As for Larry Page, he had given up completely. Anyway, it would not fall on him anyway.
"B, I think I would be happy to be your subordinate again. Happy cooperation!" Robin stretched out his right hand to Jobs.
"Andy, I think our cooperation this time will be very pleasant. Welcome to join Apple!" Jobs stood up with a comfortable look on his face and winked at Lin Feng. This time he came with the purpose of breaking up the cooperation between Lin Feng and Robin. For Android, Apple is completely unnecessary. Jobs believes that his own "i" is definitely better than Android, but the reason he came is to attack Lin Feng.
"Apple" is about to launch a mobile phone that is not available on the market, and "i" will be the operating system of this mobile phone. Lin Feng, who owns the "Phantom Mobile Phone" under "Phantom Technology", is currently the most popular mobile phone brand on the market. The commodity war between Lin Feng and "Apple" has been going on for several years. From the original "id" m3 player to the previous m4 player, the two sides fought fiercely.
In terms of "id", "Apple" and Lin Feng's "Phantom Technology" are evenly matched. As for the m4 player market, "Apple" is slightly better with its own strength and product research, plus Lin Feng's distraction. However, in Jobs's view, these are all small markets, purely small fights, and the real big market is - mobile phones. According to the current trend of mobile phone development in the world, it is absolutely foreseeable that there will be one mobile phone per capita in the future. Coupled with the replacement rate of mobile phones, it can be said that the profit of the mobile phone market is extremely amazing. "Apple" wants to occupy the largest piece of cake in this market.
And Lin Feng has been developing mobile phones, while constantly promoting "fast food restaurants" and launching free Bluetooth connections in "fast food restaurants". His intention is not only to pave the way for his "dream" handheld game console, but also for mobile phones. The information currently obtained is very limited, and Bluetooth is the best way to access the Internet. Therefore, Jobs predicted that Lin Feng would definitely become a strong rival of "Apple" in the future mobile phone killing.
It's just that Lin Feng didn't have a very good operating system before, so Jobs was not too worried about it. But the emergence of "Android" can change this situation. Therefore, when Jobs learned that Lin Feng was going to acquire "Android", he immediately asked for Robin's contact information and came to disrupt the situation in person. Even if he couldn't use it, he had to buy it and seal it up, not giving Lin Feng a chance. In order to win "Android", Jobs offered Robin the position of "i" chief software engineer, and the price he paid was not small. Fortunately, Robin has real talent and Jobs believes that he will not disgrace this position.
Lin Feng's face was full of gloom. "Apple" has "Android", so is there any way for mobile phone manufacturers in the world to survive? And he will lose another big weapon in the future against "Microsoft". Without "Android"'s own operating system, there are too many imperfections.
No, we must not let Jobs take away "Android" so easily!
"Wait, Mr. Robin, I have another suggestion!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said.
