Chapter 624 hit it off

"Hello Mr. Feng," he didn't have much hair, his front forehead was particularly bright, his figure was tall, his neck was particularly long, and his body was sturdy. He could wear a tight suit with a black T-shirt, but his body was not very good and his back was a little hunched. He stood enthusiastically at the door of the company to welcome Feng Yiping, who had become a legend.

"I'm glad to see you, Rubin," Feng Yiping shook his hand vigorously.

For the whole world, this is a real big shot. Ten years later, many people may not use Google searches, cannot afford or want to buy Apple phones, nor do they install genuine Microsoft systems, but most of them have bought mobile phones with their Android system.

"I'm honored to ask inside," Rubin bowed slightly.

This is actually the result of his already reserved attitude.

In the past two days, he not only checked Feng Yiping's information online, but also learned about some of the situations in China when receiving important VIPs. He made a welcome banner in accordance with the styles in the pictures, but in the end he did not hang it out.

Thinking about the talks that should be held next, we still can't be too eager.

Just like a young girl meeting someone with the purpose of ONS, it is easy to say anything, but if she meets someone with the intention of finding a man, at least she has to wait until her second date before she can invite someone into the house and coffee.

In Rubin's view, Feng Yiping is a very suitable long-term meal ticket for Android.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t hang up now. He also prepared a big red banner for celebrating after the successful talks.

"Thank you, this is Mike," Feng Yiping introduced.

"Haha, we've seen you, Mike," Rubin hugged Mike with a strong hug.

Silicon Valley is big, not big, not big. It is not new to be able to live here for more than ten years and have met each other.

They were not alumni before, but probably colleagues. They have worked together at well-known companies such as HP, Apple, Microsoft, and Sun.

"Haha, hello Rubin, have you made some proud robot recently?" Mike asked.

Rubin's obsession with robots is known to anyone familiar with him. Many of the robots wandering around in the California Science and Technology Museum are written by him.

Of course, this is not difficult to guess. Isn’t the Android logo just a robot?

“There are some unfinished works,”

I have been so busy lately that I can't wait to cover my stockings for money to visit the bank, but I really don't have the energy to purchase valuable accessories and assemble robots to play with.

Feng Yiping did not rush into the door. He looked at the parking lot in front of the company and nodded, "It's in good condition."

According to the results of Irving's investigation, the development of Android system is still a long way to go. Rubin has borrowed all his friends who can borrow money. In this case, he can maintain the company and prevent the company's R&D team from falling apart. Rubin is still doing a good job. It should be said that he already has the characteristics of a successful person.

"Thank you," Rubin smiled and led them inside.

Yesterday, he verbally notified the leaders of each team that if you come to work today, don’t play skateboards or ride a bicycle, you can drive me. If you don’t have a car, you can borrow it and rent it. In short, just one request is that the parking lot in front of the company today must look lively.

It seems that my hand arrangement is pretty good, and Rubin thought it was a little proud.

Like all the startups that have just started, Android now has a small office area, and its style is no different from other companies in Silicon Valley. The employees have a small piece of novel and satisfactory decorations and the entertainment and leisure facilities in the open spaces, which makes Feng Yiping and Mike feel at home.

However, unlike the scene I saw in my own company, the engineers here were all refreshed and in very good condition. Even the guys sitting on the sofa, hammock, and recliners were working attentively. Even the table tennis table was used as a workbench. At the corner of the game, a group was writing and drawing on a white board mountain.

They even have a good manners, and their clothes look casual, but they are uniform and neat, without coffee stains and biscuit powder, and those beards that will make the invincible US military nervous are not seen.

Feng Yiping smiled and looked around. Oh, there were two electric cars from his company beside the wall. He had not commented yet. A sexy white girl with blonde hair and a elegant Asian girl with black hair actually ran over excitedly for Feng Yiping to sign.

"Here, here," said the blonde girl excitedly and enthusiastically pointing to her white T's chest.

The current in her big eyes could easily give a big guy like Rubin a few times of defibrillation with the highest voltage.

"Can you sign it on this?" The Asian girl happily and nervously handed over a mouse pad.

She looked at Feng Yiping shyly and timidly. In the blink of an eye, it seemed that there were little stars who could not stand the attraction and flew towards Feng Yiping.

This drama is a bit over. Feng Yiping glanced at Rubin, but I still liked it!

It is hard for Rubin, who is so tall and powerful, to have such meticulous thoughts.

Moreover, it can be seen from the other male and female employees who are eager to try that their behavior is mostly proactive, but only they are lucky enough to become representatives of all employees.

Feng Yiping’s idol name is not false. Today, he is the best example of these people, the legendary Silicon Valley dream hidden in his heart.

…………

Young men and women who still have very beautiful yearning and expectation for love and the future usually start with topics other than their expectations when they first meet.

Similar meetings in business are almost the same routine, especially when Rubin knew that Mr. Feng was interested in his Android, but he did not make it clear.

So this meeting didn’t go straight to the point as soon as it came out, so be reserved!

But just like those men and women who are interested in each other, the topics they talked about when they first met were not related to the topic, such as what movies do you like to watch, whether there are any good books recommendations recently, etc., it seems casual, but in fact it has profound meaning.

What Feng Yiping and Rubin are talking about now is the Hiptop2 that Feng Yiping specially bought, which was produced by Danger, a company founded by Rubin.

"We all know that Mr. Feng has a unique concept for design. I heard from colleagues that Apple's recently launched MAC computers have adopted a lot of your opinions on design, and your company has also produced many classic design products, just like the very popular electric car. So, what do you think of Hiptop2?" Rubin asked.

"The idea is very good, the design is very novel, and the functions are very complete, and it will be loved by many enthusiasts, but," Feng Yiping took out the phone and threw it in his hand. "It's too large, the design is too exquisite, the operation is inconvenient, and it's not durable. It may be scrapped if you miss it."

“So overall, it can only be a niche product.”

"Mr. Feng, you are right," Rubin nodded and smiled bitterly.

Isn't it? Everything before was right, and even they were not satisfied with the final product.

Although the second generation has been improved compared to the first generation, the changes are only in the design of the screen and keyboard. Overall, it is still the same.

"Why are you thinking about designing an Android system? Rubin," Feng Yiping asked.

"I think the main reason why the Sidekick series is not satisfactory, I think the hardware must accommodate software, so I had this idea. After leaving Zeiss, my first project at Apple was to develop a handheld operating system called MagicCap, which also had some experience," Rubin said.

OK, it seems that Android really has some connection with Apple.

"I'm very optimistic about your current direction," said Feng Yiping. "According to Moore's Law, I also believe that in the near future, the development of handheld devices will change with each passing day, and systems like Android will be of great use,"

"Mike has also told me again and again that you are a very talented, thoughtful and enthusiastic engineer,"

Mike looked at the boss, isn't this good? When you asked me, I was talking about whether Rubin was a bit arbitrary in dealing with people and things!

"That's why I really want to take a look. When I saw it today, I was very satisfied. I want to join this career. So Rubin, do you have this intention?" Feng Yiping said.

"A lot of venture capitalists have come to me," Rubin said.

Although I have a hundred willingness in my heart, I still have to be reserved. Girls who are too proactive in lifelong affairs may be despised.

Feng Yiping also has the following situation: nitrogen. Those venture capital investors were not attracted by Rubin’s projects at the beginning, but because Rubin has recently raised funds everywhere and has been introduced to the ears of some venture capital investors.

After inquiring, this project seemed to have some meaning? So I wanted to take advantage of his difficulties and get a bargain.

Venture capital has always cast a wide net to increase success rate.

"Haha," Feng Yiping smiled. "Whether entrepreneurs are more grateful to venture capital, or are they more afraid of being more hated? Rubin, you know more about this than me,"

"Venture investment projects are mainly for profit, right? They don't care about your original intention of developing this product and your expectations for the future!"

"Anyone who blocks their way will be kicked away without hesitation by them, including the founder, you said yes!"

Faced with Feng Yiping's statement, Rubin could only nod.

For venture capitalists, entrepreneurs do have love and hate, and often find that it is difficult to recover when the love reaches the end.

"I also know Page and Brin, and I admire their technical skills, and they appreciate a lot of my ideas," Rubin said.

Although I am not in good condition now, I have a way out.

Mike helped answer this question, "You know, Page and Brin also rely on Feng's ideas, including Jobs and Gates, and Bezos, who all agree with many of Feng's opinions," he said.

"Yes, Feng doesn't understand technology, but you have also seen that the two most outstanding projects in the entire Silicon Valley this year are Feng's ideas,"

“Although I’m not as good as you at the level of business, I think you know how important a good, feasible idea is to us engineers,” he said.

Feng Yiping smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just a lucky person, but Rubin, you only see one side of things, have you ever thought of the other side?"

"Precisely because I don't understand technology and have some vision, I am the best product admirer. Moreover, I don't have the will and of course I don't have the ability to interfere in your work, right?"

Mike took over again, "Rubin, you should also understand that, including the companies that Feng recently acquired, he also relied entirely on the original founders and creative teams to develop according to their own wishes. Feng just pointed out some correct directions for them and provided strong support on various resources," he said.

"Will venture capital, and those who are skilled in themselves, give you such a lot of freedom?"

This is actually one of the reasons why Rubin welcomes Feng Yiping very much. As Mike said, he is a very domineering person - this is very similar to Jobs. Naturally, he would not like others to point fingers at his work, but even if Google intends to invest in his project, will those two technical geniuses not ask about his work?

It would be better to believe that those venture capital investors will grow with the company!

"So Mr. Feng, what do you think is the biggest problem after the Android system development is completed?" Rubin asked the last one, which was also his most concerned question.

"Of course it's promotion," Feng Yiping said with a smile. "It requires a lot of suitable platforms to apply our system, which is also my advantage. Not to mention North America, I have a very good interaction with the excellent electronic equipment manufacturers in our country."

This is what Rubin said.

What he was most worried about now was to work hard and make things hard, but no one knew the goods.

Based on his previous entrepreneurial experience, Rubin felt that this was likely to be a high probability event.

Feng Yiping's strength and influence will strongly ensure that such a thing will not happen.

I have been reserved again and again. From all aspects, Feng Yiping is indeed a good match. Rubin no longer hesitated and couldn't help but stand up with a smile, "Mr. Feng, welcome to join,"
