Digital Kingdom

"SundarPichai, hello", Zhao Ziming stretched out his hand and shook the opponent.

The 27-story villa has a dedicated living room. Sandel, being proud of India, is naturally invited. It is also arranged here, not on the same floor as Zhao Ziming.

"Zhao, just call me Sandel",

Sandel laughed and said, as an Indian, living in the United States all the year round, his living habits have been completely Westernized.

He has a dark skin and a standard image of an engineer. Born in 1972, he is at the time of his youth and strength. He has a charm when speaking and acting.

"Sander, this is my girlfriend Xu Jinyu", Zhao Ziming introduced his female companion to him.

"Hello," Xu Jinyu responded with a smile.

For the date tonight, she has been busy all afternoon, deliberately choosing a gray flannel skirt and flat heels, changing from the glorious past, wearing a little conservative.

"Miss Xu's beauty is enough to make the moon pale," Sandel said politely.

The two exchanged a few words, and Sandel stepped into the topic.

"Zhao, I don't know how you considered our previous proposal."

"Our CEO has left, haven't you heard from it?"

Zhao Ziming raised his eyebrows.

"I know", Sandel smiled honestly.

"In your words, when you see the truth in adversity, the more you need to take on this kind of moment, I hope you don't think we are taking advantage of the fire."

"The previous conditions remain the same?" Zhao Ziming asked curiously.

"Haha, Zhao, you really know how to joke" Sandel smiled and shook his head.

"Oh", Zhao Ziming didn't speak, and motioned to the other party to continue.

"The latest quotation from the board of directors is US$40 billion," Sandel said directly without changing his face.

"Hehe", Zhao Ziming's expression was inexplicable.

"Chu Wensheng is worth 10 billion. Do I feel fortunate or regret it."

"Zhao", Sandel looked straight.

"Our sincerity, you must have felt it, if you have any requirements, you can ask them at any time, and we will try our best to satisfy them."

"The valuation of 40 billion is indeed fair",

Zhao Ziming nodded, "But for you, I think it should have higher value."

Sandel was curious, "Why?"

Zhao Ziming showed strong self-confidence: "In today's world, there is no such an ecological environment as the standard browser of the year, so that Google can become the "home page" for all Internet users, and the mobile phone ecosystem nowadays From software to hardware, everyone basically does their own things. Moreover, large companies like Facebook and Tencent in social networks have not released a lot of data. These threaten your way and ability to reach users at the bottom. ."

Sandel showed a look of listening. He had not had contact with Zhao Ziming before, and he was curious as to how the most business-minded man on the planet would evaluate Google.

"So, Google has launched a variety of hardware over the years, whether it is Pixel phones, or the less successful Google Glass, or smart home devices Google Home, and even VR-related devices, in fact, it can be traced back to this logic-Google needs more It is an inevitable way to make your own hardware to reach more users."

Zhao Ziming is firm, without any hesitation or uncertainty.

Sandel didn't speak, the other side saw it so thoroughly, it was beyond his expectation.

"However, you don’t have much experience in hardware. Especially in the field of mobile phones, compared to the leading iPhone and Android manufacturers, Google’s mobile phone presence is extremely low. Therefore, you have been doing an experiment. For your technology, do you choose your hardware and platform? Only when this is clear can you know how to go next. For this experiment, you continue to introduce various hardware devices, such as mobile phones, stereos, computers, headphones, etc. , It’s a pity that no product can carry your aspirations."

Zhao Ziming took the cup from Xu Jinyu and continued,

"Zhao, since you said that we are lacking in hardware, as far as I know, Chu is responsible for hardware work at Magic Company, so his departure will inevitably reduce the overall value of the company."

Sandel said,

Now that Zhao Ziming has fully seen the company's strategic layout, he has no need to go around the circle. Google really needs a killer app.

"I don't deny this", Zhao Ziming was calm, as if everything was under control.

"First of all, the Magic Mirror series has surpassed tens of millions of levels, and it is a huge ecosystem in itself. Presumably, you already know about the previous VR movies."

Sandel didn't say anything. The price of 40 billion originally included the premium of the previous Magic Mirror series. If it were not for the disruptive nature of VR movies, the board would not agree to such a high price to acquire a company that had been in business for five years.

"Secondly, if Chu Wensheng did not leave, the valuation of Magic Feiyue would be even higher",

Zhao Ziming drank a sip of water. It has been a long time since he had such an exciting moment. Sandel is no ordinary person. In the "2016 US "Top 50 CEOs" list" just released by Glassdoor, he is ranked 7th and is considered powerful. amazing.

For Zhao Ziming at this moment, the sense of accomplishment of conquering an opponent is far greater than conquering a beauty, especially the intellectual pleasure, which makes people want to stop.

Zhao Ziming talked about sex: "Although you are lacking in hardware, this refers to commercial products. Google's hardware R&D capabilities are still the world's top. Its profound accumulation can make up for the turbulence caused by Chu Wensheng’s departure. No one will disagree."

Sandel is silent, Google's advanced is not only advanced in software, it has a layout in all aspects.

It is precisely based on this that the company's senior executives do not care about Chu Wensheng's departure. Through reverse engineering, Magic Mirror's hardware integration capabilities have no technical barriers.

Xu Jinyu's eyes shined when she listened, and her lover's aura was full, and she overwhelmed all the charms, seeing it once, sinking once, and unable to extricate herself.

Zhao Ziming didn't mean to end, and continued:

"On the other hand, China's manufacturing industry is No. 1 in the world. As a rooted company, Magic Feiyue has natural advantages, mature production lines and sufficient supply of parts and components. It can quickly realize productization and can largely make up for your shortcomings. , Chu Wensheng’s resignation is a bad thing for Magic, but not necessarily for you."

If Chu Wensheng does not leave, under his strong leadership, whether the entire company can integrate with Google's culture is still unknown.

Sandel was silent for a moment and said, "Your suggestion, we will seriously consider it."

Zhao Ziming smiled: "Welcome anytime."
