Chapter 1467: Eager Expectation

When the sky was stained with red, Rubin walked out the door, looked at the direction where famous companies gathered, and couldn't help sighing.

There was still no call today.

The most frightening thing in this world is not despair, but when you are disappointed, you suddenly see hope, but this hope is only a little bit, and it is still unclear - such times are the most exhausting.

After working in Apple and Microsoft for several years, some people became more and more unbearable to work for others. Influenced by the endless legends in Silicon Valley, Rubin felt that he had accumulated some funds and technology. He couldn't resist the temptation, quit his original job, found a few people to partner, and started a business.

Although he didn't make any bold promises, he actually went there to create a legend.

He had a plan. After accumulating wealth through entrepreneurship and achieving financial freedom, he had the capital to tinker with his favorite robot.

But maybe the goddess of luck had favored Jobs, so he didn't want to collect Jobs's model anymore. Rubin's entrepreneurial journey has never been smooth.

The two previous startups clearly seemed to be about rewriting an industry, creating history, and creating legends. However, what was puzzling, depressing, and sad was that for the same thing, those legends would not have any problems or accidents at all, and they could be completed smoothly and easily. However, when they met, they either made mistakes here or there, and they had a bumpy journey.

Just like everyone goes to a bar to mingle, some guys who don’t seem to be as attractive as me, just go over and chat a few words, and soon they can easily hug the girl and leave.

But when I went there after I had carefully prepared and organized everything from image to language, the target was so disdainful of me for no reason, and didn’t even give me a phone call.

By the way, Tony Fadell, who worked with me in a project department at Apple, has now become the father of iPod.

I won’t talk about these. When I finally got to the end and launched the carefully prepared product, I found helplessly that I was too optimistic, and God was particularly unkind to me...

In short, the two previous entrepreneurial ventures failed to create legends for various reasons, but unwillingly became stepping stones for those real legends.

Or the kind of stepping stone that will not even look at you if you make your feet a little uncomfortable, and will not care at all that you may be a different firework, but will step on you hard, or kick you into a corner or a stinky ditch.

This is about his second entrepreneurial experience. This second time is even worse than the first time. He was kicked out by his original partners when the company was still able to maintain.

This is somewhat similar to Jobs at the time.

His plan is also somewhat similar to Jobs. After being kicked out, he did not complain about himself, but quickly started his third business.

This time he picked up his old business that he had done at Apple, and planned to develop an operating system for handheld devices-NeXT, which was founded after Jobs was kicked out of Apple, also developed a system.

It can be seen that he really wanted to follow Jobs's previous path-because his second entrepreneurial project was to produce mobile phones.

However, it seems that he can not only not become a legend, but also cannot walk the path that the legend has walked.

It seems that Danger Company has no intention of buying his current entrepreneurial project at a high price and inviting him back to take charge of the overall situation.

In fact, there is no such possibility.

Apple was a lean camel that was bigger than a horse. It was not under much pressure to take out more than 400 million US dollars in stocks and cash to acquire Jobs' NeXT.

But it seems that Danger Company is now struggling to survive and can't take care of itself. How can it have the extra money to acquire Rubin's project?

In other words, even if he goes back, he can't save the company from the brink of bankruptcy like Jobs did.

The sad thing is that his third entrepreneurial venture is not as smooth as Jobs. Jobs, who was kicked out of Apple, is not short of money, and the animation company he bought from Lucas for only 10 million US dollars soon made him famous and wealthy.

With sufficient funds, Jobs' system development went smoothly, but Rubin had been working for others before and did not have much savings. The two subsequent entrepreneurial ventures not only did not increase his wealth, but also reduced it. Therefore, his Android company has not yet completed the product development, but the funds have already bottomed out.

He borrowed money everywhere, and some friends generously donated money to support him until now.

The trouble of lack of money was like a tight hoop on his head, which made him unable to calm down and write programs for a while, until he received an incredible call from Mike, who led Facebook, which must be the most legendary company in Silicon Valley this year.

He knew very well who was behind Mike, who was a legend in the business world.

All the companies he founded have created a new field, and all the companies he acquired have achieved better development than before.

There is even a saying in the industry now that as long as the project and company that Mr. Feng likes, there will be a bright future in the future. If he doesn't like it, it means that your project or company is a little bit off.

So, does Mr. Feng think highly of my company?

However, Mike's sudden call was very unclear. He just asked about his schedule and said that Mr. Feng wanted to meet with him in the near future.

Although Rubin wanted to ask clearly at the time, his experience in managing Danger Company made him suppress this idea. If he is too proactive now, he will definitely appear passive in the future.

So although there was grass growing in his heart, he just very calmly welcomed Feng Yiping and Mike to visit Android, and suppressed his words "Is Mr. Feng interested? How much money can he invest?".

However, several days have passed now, but there is no follow-up news there. Although reading the reports, Mr. Feng's schedule is indeed not very busy. He is going to Microsoft and Amazon.

It is indeed not generally effective. Microsoft is interested in his electric car company, and Amazon wants to establish a joint venture with him.

However, after thinking about the accounts in the company that were cleaner than his own trouser pocket, he really wanted to call and ask.

However, especially at this moment, you must be reserved. He took out his phone and put it back.

Unexpectedly, his cell phone rang suddenly, startling him and almost dropping it to the ground. The second-generation product of the SideKick series, Hiptop2, produced by Danger, was incomparable with those of Nokia in terms of anti-fall capabilities.

When he saw the call, he was immediately delighted. It was the call he had been looking forward to for a long time, "Hey Mike, tomorrow? Well, I'll ask the secretary to check the schedule and ask her to call you back as soon as possible."

Well, be reserved, be reserved.

…………

Feng Yiping picked up a Hiptop2 on the table, played with it a few times, and put it into his bag. Now that he had set the schedule, he was also looking forward to tomorrow's trip. It was an Android!

"Owen?" He looked at Owen who knocked on the door and picked him up, a little surprised. He was already preparing to go home. What was he doing in the office at this time?

Oh, "Have you found out the results?"

"Yes," Owen took out a piece of paper, "We traced that car, it came from Hertz Rental, this is the renter's information,"

In the United States, it is difficult for them to check information from law enforcement agencies, but car rental companies, even car rental companies like Hertz, have no problem if they want to check something.

"Is it him?" That was a copy of Ma Wenzhen's passport. Oh yes, according to the time, he had come out early.

It was not surprising that he approached Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang's father, Mr. Wang, was the backer of Ma Wenzhi's father, Mr. Ma.

It's just that Ma Wenjun really cares about food and not fighting. Is he taking the initiative to join me this time? Does Lao Ma know what he did?

"Acquaintance?" Owen asked after seeing Feng Yiping's reaction.

"Yes, an acquaintance, an acquaintance who sent him in for half a year," Feng Yiping nodded.

"It seems half a year is not enough," Irving said.

"Well, if he comes to you again, you can't blame me."

He didn't want to be too hard-hearted, but since some guys didn't know how to cherish them, it was appropriate to give them an angry look.

"Shall I find him and make arrangements?" Owen said.

"No," Feng Yiping immediately shook his head. There was no need to let foreigners laugh, "I'd better solve this problem after I return to China."

"As you wish, boss, in the recent period, I will ask everyone to be more vigilant,"
