Chapter 742

Many people are easy to handle.

Since Yang Ge and Leng Ning came with the team, the myriad of things in Los Angeles have been straightened out.

The next morning, led by Molly, Wu Tao took several people from Lengning group and went straight to Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

The company visited as promised, and the negotiations were held as scheduled.

However, the results are somewhat different from the imagination, and the talks are not ideal.

Wu Tao also did not expect that today's BlackBerry company, although it has a BlackBerry OS, has not been specifically applied to mobile phones.

In other words, the BlackBerry smartphone that supports push email, mobile phone, text messaging, Internet fax and web browsing has not yet come out.

At that time, Wu Tao knew that they had a plan.

As a mobile phone manufacturer, I came over and proposed the license of BlackBerry OS. It's strange that the result can be ideal.

The attitude of BlackBerry executives is obvious. They want to hide the BlackBerry OS as a unique advantage of their smart phones.

Once Yuanqi technology is given to you, if it is carried forward and their own mobile phones are not made, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

Therefore, the result is doomed to be that the hot face sticks to the cold ass, and there is no play.

So that the expected two-day Cooperation meeting schedule ended hastily in half a day.

On the return trip to the airport, everyone's morale was somewhat low, which seemed to be quite hit.

On the contrary, Wu Tao was the first to be relieved and looked back at the people: "all cheer up for me. Don't you see that this is the enlightenment given to us by God?"

As soon as he said this, not only Lengning's subordinates looked confused, but also Molly couldn't get his point.

Wu Tao said solemnly: "imagine, where is the BlackBerry company?"

"Canada..." someone said.

"Ontario..." someone muttered more specifically.

"Wrong!" Wu Tao all denied: "in Waterloo! The name sounds frustrating. Lotus phones can't use BlackBerry OS, which means that our sales of lotus phones will never encounter Waterloo! "

As soon as they heard this, they felt twice as angry.

Even Molly, with Lengning's translation and explanation, looked very happy.

I didn't expect the boss to be the one who told cold jokes one by one.

However, Wu Tao quickly turned to the subject and said, "director Leng, after going back, we should mention PalmOS to the company's strategic goal. The future mobile phone era is bound to be the era of smart phones, and the precipitation of a mobile OS is an essential process for Yuanqi technology to fight the battle of smart phones in the future! "

Otherwise, the boss is the boss. He not only speaks loudly and meaningfully, but also sounds particularly encouraging.

So Lengning took the lead and clapped first.

Molly was confused and bit Lengning's ear for a long time. Only then did she understand Wu Tao's meaning.

Then he asked a sharp question with a smile: "Wu, if your company successfully takes PalmOS as its own, will you provide PalmOS authorization for other companies or competitors?"

This question is a little bit about which pot doesn't open.

If it were someone else, there would have been no good face.

However, Wu Tao did not. Instead, he replied generously, "yes, of course! Not only will it be authorized, but it can even be free. If PalmOS is in the hands of Yuanqi technology, we will clarify the whole system and standardize the development platform, but make it public. We invite and welcome other manufacturers to participate in and develop it together! "

"Why?" Not only Molly was confused, but even Lengning, the subordinates of Yuanqi technology, followed inexplicably.

But only Molly dared to ask.

Since it is open source and free to use, isn't the hard price Yuanqi technology paid for PalmOS in vain?

What's the picture.

Wu Tao didn't answer directly, but brought up the BlackBerry again. "From today's contact with BlackBerry executives, I'm sure the future development of BlackBerry will not go too far. Even though its OS and intelligence have their own characteristics and advantages, their self-conscious attitude is doomed that BlackBerry can only become a minority, not a big stream! "

"... then again, the same goes for Palm OS. So PalmOS is in our hands. Only by taking the road of open source is the way of long-term development and can it be truly carried forward. "

Molly asked, "but can Jeff promise you to do this?"

That's the only problem left.

However, Wu Tao felt that it would be easier to persuade Jeff Hawkins than to independently acquire palm from 3Com.

It was already evening when I returned to the villa in erwan that day.

After a bad start, Qin Xiaoxiao and Wu Yingying didn't dare to ask more. Wu Tao stayed alone in the study for a long time.

Others thought he was in a bad mood.

In fact, Wu Tao went surfing the Internet in his study.

First, I looked at the BBS of Shuimu Tsinghua University and found that the military training of my alma mater was still in full swing. Of course, there are a steady stream of posts on his run.

Although this man is not in the Jianghu, his legend has always been spread in the Jianghu.

Wu Tao teased himself with this reason and still didn't take it to heart.

Using the letter in the station, I replied to an Rong and sent several recent photos taken in Canada. Seeing that there was no timely response, I decided to go offline.

Then I logged in to the private BBS made by Ding Lei. This guy has been busy with listing recently. Obviously, he has no time to maintain this private corner.

After sweeping around, there was no one. Wu Tao had to step back in dismay and habitually open the mailbox to have a look.

I don't know. I found that in addition to the unimportant business emails exchanged every day, a guy named bill sent an email to himself.

Isn't it Bill Gates?

Wu Tao opened it in a hurry. It turned out to be Bill Babbitt. This person is from Netscape. As an executive, he wants to find a way out in advance with his programmer team.

And his mailbox was given by Yang Zhiyuan.

Although Netscape is about to be acquired, as an executive, it is also risky to meet its new owner.

So Bill chose to send an email first and make some tentative contact. It can be said that he was very cautious.

In the mailbox, this bill sent a resume of his own, which looked good.

However, for more in-depth information, Wu Tao has no ability to distinguish. And even if I can tell, I don't know if he is suitable for developing web sites such as campus network and blog.

So without saying a word, I listed my simple needs for campus network and blog application, and asked the other party to develop a demo as the content of the interview.

It's a mule or a horse. Let's pull it out and walk!
