Chapter 2989: Don’t Be Too Proud

Rubin's words, which seemed to be kind warnings and reminders from an old friend, were actually high-profile boasting and extremely confident. In addition to making Quan Wuxuan uncomfortable, they also showed another thing, that this guy is a little arrogant now.

It's not his fault. You know, he has long been looking forward to his boss doing some mergers and acquisitions around Android. Everyone knows that his boss is a famous merger and acquisition expert.

He has been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally today, how can he not be happy?

Moreover, the mergers and acquisitions around Android are not just one or two, but one after another, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger. The current one has directly climbed to 12 billion US dollars, and it is a well-known target like Motorola.

Even if it is a twilight Motorola, it is still Motorola.

A senior beauty is still a beauty. The current Motorola should be equivalent to Zu Xian or Zhilin after the last work. Although it is no longer the highlight of the past, it still has the color and grace of the city.

Besides, can a guy like Rubin be without feelings?

In the eyes of a straight man of science and engineering like him, Motorola, a high-tech company that invented the first mobile phone, is naturally endowed with a halo.

When Motorola was dominating the mobile phone industry, what was Samsung doing?

It was still producing some clumsy home appliances, and those home appliances were not selling well in Europe and the United States.

Moreover, Samsung was to him just like Blockbuster was to Hastings. They had both taken the initiative to ask Hastings to acquire them, but were both rejected shamefully. They were all men over 1.5 meters tall. How could they not have some problems with such things? ...

In front of Kwon Oh-hyun, Rubin was a little bit arrogant, and there was really a good reason.

Besides, what he said to Kwon Oh-hyun was not aimless. He could really conclude that Samsung and Intel's efforts to develop Tizen would be in vain.

Because Intel has been doing one thing unswervingly for so many years: selling chips.

No matter how diverse their work is, it will only converge into one thing in the end: selling chips.

Whether it was the previous cooperation with Nokia to develop MeeGo, or the current cooperation with Samsung to tinker with Tizen, their starting point and purpose have always been the same, that is, to allow their X86 architecture chips to enter the mobile communications field, which is currently developing better and better, but they have fallen behind.

With the support of their boss Feng Yiping, Rubin is very clear about Intel's plans, so the new version of Android, named Ice Cream Sandwich, which has been tried by some users, can fully support Intel's X86 architecture chips.

Therefore, negotiations to establish a closer relationship with Intel are also in full swing. The results of these negotiations are of course self-evident. Will Intel choose to continue investing to develop an operating system with an uncertain future, or choose to cooperate with an operating system like Google that has already monopolized the mobile market? This is a question that anyone can immediately give the correct answer to.

Intel is of course no exception. They have the intention to develop processors compatible with the Android operating system and plan to make mobile phones equipped with such processors available next year.

As for Samsung, I can only say sorry, you are a good person, but we are not suitable...

As for being classified as a scumbag or a scumbag, how could Intel, a company founded by a group of traitors from Fairchild, care about such meaningless problems? They have always been loyal to themselves.

Without Intel's powerful arm, what future can Tizen have?

Didn't you see that under the pressure of Microsoft, many Android manufacturers still won't use Windows Phone, which means a huge amount of additional investment.

"Of course, I am still very much looking forward to seeing your system come out, and I sincerely hope that your system can be very powerful. Android is really eager for a qualified opponent, and I hope you won't let it down,"

Rubin took the initiative to end the call very alone.

Thinking of the one who failed to steal the chicken but was very angry, he couldn't help but smile a little proudly. But after answering the next call, Rubin, who was proud and arrogant just now, pretended to be 13 from time to time, immediately became warm, "Hello!"

The caller was Kwon Wu-hyun's depressed summary. He should learn more from the president. When encountering things, he should not always rush to the front at the first time, but should encourage others to rush to the front. Those who are suitable to be encouraged by him to rush to the front.

Of course, they are not as aggressive as Kwon Wu-hyun. "Rubin, I am very happy to see that Android is preparing to further expand the patent pool. But I have a question. I wonder if this means that Android will soon produce smartphones?"

Although the tone is soft, the anxiety in the words is no different from Samsung.

Their attitude is good, and Rubin's attitude is also very good. There is no way. This is the boss's hometown people, and the reason why he can be so tough with Samsung, such an important partner, is precisely because of the confidence given by these hometown people of the boss.

In China, more and more forces are joining the Android camp, and the shipments of Android phones from Chinese manufacturers are also increasing rapidly, including many new startups, among which some bosses seem to be quite concerned. The new start-up company called "mi", their development is very eye-catching - because of the wind flapping Feng Yiping's wings, Rebus released their first mobile phone a year ahead of schedule, and it was also well received .

In the Android camp, the rapid rise of China's power has not only strengthened Android's overall strength, but also objectively weakened Samsung's voice.

In terms of strength, none of the Chinese smartphone manufacturers can currently compete with Samsung head-on. But together, they are the most powerful force in the Android camp, and even Samsung cannot match it.

"We can say very clearly that Android has no plans to produce smartphones,"

In order to reassure the boss's hometown people, Rubin didn't even add the attributive word "currently".

When he said this, he felt really bitter in his heart.

This is not just to prevent them from worrying, so he didn't say "we currently have no plans to produce smartphones", but because he really really wants to produce smartphones.

For a person like him, the most regrettable thing is that he can only produce ammunition at the rear but cannot go to the battlefield. Therefore, he has always hoped that Android can produce smartphones. He believes that Android will definitely become the most popular software on the market. Even Apple, the company that is best integrated with hardware, has to step aside - this may have a lot to do with Jobs's relentless criticism of him, including his appearance, in those years.

Perhaps from then on, he had the idea of ​​competing head-on with Steve Jobs. Currently, in terms of software, the market share of Android smartphones has been significantly ahead of Apple's IOS. However, because of the relationship between pig teammates, in terms of hardware, it has It's almost the same as the iPhone.

But that doesn't matter. When Android version 4.0 is about to be launched, the Android phone in his mind has also been updated to version 4.0.

For this reason, he would seriously talk to Feng Yiping several times every year, "Let's make a mobile phone, let's make a mobile phone that is even more amazing than the iPhone."

But every time, Feng Yiping failed to agree.

This time, because of the acquisition of Motorola, and because of the clear commitment to Motorola that after the acquisition, the Motorola mobile department will be preserved, this should be the closest to his dream and reality. Unexpectedly, before launching the acquisition, the boss I specifically talked to him once and said that he had "other arrangements" for Motorola's hardware department.

Why can't I realize my dream?

You know, if you don't take action, it will really be too late. After all, Steve Jobs's physical condition is probably very pessimistic, so I can't let me defeat him happily and comprehensively, so that he has to express his gratitude to me in person. Are you convinced?

It is conceivable that under such circumstances, Rubin had to declare to the boss's hometown people again and again, "We will not produce smartphones," and in his heart, it was really a river of sadness.

So he quickly said to those people, "I think Feng's promise will be more effective, so why don't you contact him personally?"

"He must also be very happy to communicate with everyone on this issue,"
