Compared to the electric vehicle project Lin Zheng just mentioned, John Duer is more interested in this project. He even thinks that the value of this project is more valuable than that of an electric vehicle, so he can't wait to ask Lin Zheng: "Lin, have you started operating this project? How is the progress of the project?"

Ya even lost the demeanor that a professional venture capital manager should have!

Is this guy interested in this project? Lin Zheng didn't know that GM, EDS and Xius Electric have started to do this, but this did not prevent him from seeing from John Dull's disobedience reaction that KPCB seemed to be very interested in this project, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, we are ready to start this project. The software part is jointly developed by our company, Mr. Linuxtorvalds, and the hardware part is ready to cooperate with Texas Instruments, which has always had a good foundation for cooperation. As for the automotive aspect, we are ready to contact Ford Motor."

Although I don’t know when the general onstar system was developed, since it was a general idea, I’ll avoid general. Boss Lin didn’t know that this flash of inadvertent inspiration allowed me to avoid a big trouble invisibly.

"Ford, Texas Instruments and you three? Well, this is pretty good," John Dull nodded calmly, but thought to himself: Lianchuang Technology can ignore him, but Ford Automobile and Texas Instruments are both good people. Is there a chance for KPCB to get in this kind of project? But no matter what, you can always ask something wrong. "KPCB is also very interested in this project. I think we may have the opportunity to cooperate?"

"But what I said doesn't count," Lin Zheng said with a dilemma, "I can't decide this kind of thing alone," he paused, and Lin Zheng added, "But if you kpcb has the intention to invest and have good conditions, I can ask you, but Mr. Duer. I think you'd better not have too much hope."

Of course, it is not something you can decide by yourself. John Duer has no doubt about Lin Zheng's words: With the two giants, Ford Automobile and Texas Instruments, what is your Chinese company? It would be good to have your voice. You still want the final decision? He has even made a decision. He will report this matter to the Chairman when he goes back. Compared with other information technology services, the reliability and prospects of this information technology service based on traditional cars are much more clear.

As for what Lin Zheng said without much hope, he didn't take it seriously at all. Ford and Texas Instruments are not short of money, but they don't think they will mind giving them money, right? The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that they don't have that big appetite.

Now that he has made up his mind, John Duer decided to go straight to the topic, "Mr. Lin, let me be frank, compared to your car project, we are more optimistic about your car-based information interactive project."

Of course, Lin Zheng cannot say that the information interaction project of this car was just a fool based on the later Anjixing. In fact, there is nothing like this at all. He only grinned, "I am optimistic too. But it seems that we are not short of money in this project, and I have not heard that Texas Instruments and Ford Motor have the intention of financing externally..."

We are short of money in automobile projects. Don’t you understand this principle? Lin Zheng almost wanted to grab John Duer’s collar and roar. I am short of money in smartcity projects now!

John Duer didn't expect Lin Zheng to say this, he was stunned, "That's it..."

………………………………………

John Dull left, and he was a little confused about whether to lend money to Lin Zheng for a moment. What he liked was the call center that Lin Zheng mentioned, and he could not invest in this project. He always felt a little unwilling to accept it... Although Ford Motor and Texas Instruments did not seem to have the intention to raise funds, it was artificial, right?

John Duer left, but Lin Zheng frowned and thought about the possibility of obtaining funds from KPCB, but... it seems that adding such a call center function to smartcity can also be used as a selling point.

Lin Zheng knows very well how difficult it is for an emerging brand to gain popularity. Especially this kind of small car, it is more likely to cause people to worry about the safety of this kind of small car. If you add more safety equipment that other models do not have, it seems to be a bad idea?

"I think this idea is very good," Tan Na said this idea, and Tan Na was excited, looking at Lin Zheng's eyes were bright, "It just happened to be able to take advantage of our advantages in software... Well, we can do this project with Huawei."

Speaking of which, Lianchuang Technology may not have any advantages in software technology. At least it is far inferior to information technology giants like EDS, but the problem is still the same: Tan Na is the same as Lin Zheng now, and she doesn't know that General Motors is preparing to join EDS, and Hughes Electronics is ready to carry out the Onstar project, but the problem is that even though Tan Na is not good at forward-looking projects, she is extremely optimistic about Lin Zheng's idea... After staying in the United States for so long, he really understands how afraid Americans are.

"You mean we can talk to Texas Instruments, Ford about this?"

"Yes, the hardware is solved by Texas Instruments, and the software is solved by us. It just so happened that Ford and our smartcity are equipped as the platform. You see, there are all aspects, and the most basic things in this project are available. Why can't we talk to them?" Tan Na asked back, "As for the wireless LAN standard we are now quarrel with Texas Instruments, this is actually not a problem for our company anyway... Don't Americans say that business is business."

"You are right, business is business." Tan Na's words awakened Lin Zheng. Since then, General Motors can operate the onstar project with great success and one business, it doesn't matter that everyone is fighting to the death in this business, so we won't talk about another business where everyone has money to make.

"You said you want to make a vehicle service system that provides users with complete wireless services through wireless communication technology and GPS global satellite positioning system?" When Lin Zheng said to play, Angelber's eyes shining: This thing seems to be a big deal?

"Yes, after installing this system on the car, what do the car owner needs? Just one button can contact the customer service center. The customer service center can help the car owner solve the problem with voice... For example, when encountering a robbery, the car owner secretly presses a button, and we can also help the car owner call the police; when the car owner encounters danger, we can determine the correct position of the car owner through GPS satellite positioning and rescue the car owner as quickly as possible. Mr. Angelber, what do you think?"

Angelber's information is obviously much richer than Lin Zheng. He always feels that he has heard of this thing somewhere. After thinking about it carefully, Angelber finally thought about it: "Well, I heard that General Motors is in contact with Xius Electronics and EDS, maybe they are talking about this... But you are right, this is a good idea. We can talk to Ford Motor. This should be a lot of pressure on Ford Motor. Well, we should sign a memorandum first."

The memorandum also has certain legal effect. What if everyone agrees to negotiate the entire cooperation framework and Ford turns to cooperate with other companies? The most important thing about this thing is creativity. With creativity, just build technology. Motorola and Delphi are not worse than Texas Instruments in terms of semiconductor hardware technology in automotive electronics. In terms of software technology, there are a lot of companies that are stronger than Lianchuang Technology. What if Ford thinks this idea is good and wants to monopolize most of the benefits, and directly throws Texas Instruments and Lianchuang Technology into one? It is still very necessary to sign a memorandum.

"Then sign it," Lin Zheng had no objection to this. He was concerned about another thing, "Do you tell Mr. Ford about this?"

"No problem." Angelber agreed very happily.

………………………………………

Angelber agreed very happily, but to Lin Zheng’s surprise, Ford Motor actually agreed very happily. In just half an hour, Angelber called Lin Zheng again and told him that Ford was willing to hold a tripartite talk on this cooperation in the near future... It would be best for these days.

What's going on? Lin Zheng, who hung up the phone, thought about it for a long time, but Tan Na woke him up with one sentence: "Ford is so anxious, is it their competitor... Well, is General Motors also doing such a project?"

"I'm a pig's brain!" Lin Zheng patted his head lightly: Ninety percent is that General Motors has started their onstar project!

That's right, Boss Lin is not sure when GM started their onstar project, but this does not prevent Lin Zheng from making a reasoning that is close to the truth based on various existing clues: He, Lin Zheng and Angelber may not care about GM's actions, but as GM's old rival, Ford Motor has widened his eyes every moment, and it is understandable to stare at GM's every move?

Maybe GM discovered something? No, it wasn't that maybe it found something, but it must have discovered something. Otherwise, Ford wouldn't have been so anxious and became angry, and he said anxiously that he would talk to him in the past two days.
