Chapter 1431

A person with extremely strong inner entrepreneurial belief will never be interested in any form of work. Li Mu has met many such people. They may not have strong abilities, but they all have strong beliefs, which belong to the type of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

Li Mu doesn't know Andy Rubin's character, but he knows that Andy Rubin's entrepreneurial belief is not strong, otherwise he can't sell Android, which has been founded for less than two years, to Google in his last life.

Pigs are sold in a hurry before they grow strong. There are only two reasons. One is that they don't want to raise them, the other is that they can't afford them. Whatever Andy Rubin is, it proves that his entrepreneurial belief is not strong.

Since faith is not strong enough, there is a natural possibility of wavering.

Andy Rubin, in the face of Li Mu's invitation, seems to be in silence, but his heart has been excited to the extreme.

Anyway, for Andy Rubin, it's a big step in Silicon Valley for him to be invited by Li Mu to join Muye technology.

Is it not enough to boast that the founders of the world's top rich and top Internet companies invite themselves to join their own companies? At least for half a lifetime.

For Andy Rubin, Li Mu's invitation is like a depressed actor in China, who suddenly receives Spielberg's invitation or James Cameron's invitation in person, hoping that he can play an important role in his own movie. As soon as Spielberg opens his mouth, the actor's value increases in a flash.

Andy Rubin was excited at the same time, and his deep idea of starting a business began to change greatly under the influence of Li Mu.

Andy Rubin's mind was shaken by the thought that he might not be suitable to be a CEO or manage a company.

At this time, Li Mu, a cunning fox, began to instill poison chicken soup into him, sighing: "Andy, it's not easy to start a business, and there are too few successful people. For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is like a big gamble. The gamble is not only all their own property, but also their own future. Some people can make millions of dollars a year at will, but they have to give up This opportunity to start a business, and finally failed to do so. Not only did millions of dollars of income drift in a year, but also burned millions of dollars of money. Finally, I went to find a job, but I found that my value in the eyes of the boss was greatly reduced because of the experience of failure to start a business. Do you think it's not worth the loss? "

Andy Rubin nodded involuntarily.

Li Mu added: "so, I suggest entrepreneurs, or people who are going to start a business, ask themselves a few questions before starting a business:

is my project really OK? Do I really stick to entrepreneurship? If I start a business, how much of my savings can I invest in it? How to set my stop line? Is it to close after losing all the cash savings, or to lose all the cash savings, and then to lose all the real estate? Or how many times your own loan after losing all your assets? What if I fail in the end? What if I have nothing? If I have nothing, what can I do if I am ridiculed by people around me? What if I don't have the day to turn over? "

Li Mu's series of problems, like countless shells, constantly bombarded Andy Rubin's psychological defense line. One of them blew down his psychological wall. They were also like the strong water grass in the water, weaved together into a water net with huge resistance. They were entwined on the propeller of Andy Rubin's boat and slowed it down Speed, constantly reduce its power, until a moment, the propeller can no longer rotate.

Suddenly in such a moment, Andy Rubin's heart was as clear as the sky!

He asked himself a question in his heart: why should I worry about it? As long as I accept Li Mu's invitation, I will become the top talent in Silicon Valley, and I will also get the top salary in Silicon Valley. Moreover, I will do something possible to achieve the top in a top company. Such a good opportunity is in front of me. Why don't I agree to it? Why worry about those ethereal things?!

After thinking about this, Andy Rubin said to Li Mu without hesitation, "Mr. Li, I'm willing to accept your invitation to join in Muye technology!"

Li Mu looks at Andy Rubin, who is almost bald, with a little smile on his lips. In front of him, Andy Rubin is like a soldier who is not determined in the war. He always has a good vision of throwing his head and blood. But in front of the sugar coated shell, he loses his position.

Later, Li Mu extended his hand to Andy Rubin, smiled a little and said, "welcome to join Muye technology."

Andy Rubin is now full of the passion of working hard and proving himself in Muye technology, so he immediately asked Li Mu, "President Li, when am I going to be employed?"

Li Mu said with a smile, "if you like, I can arrange someone to apply for you now."

Andy Rubin asked again, "what's my job then?"

Li Mu said: "he claims to be the vice general manager and technical director of mango business department, responsible for the development of software and hardware technology of mango."After that, Li Mu added: "it's just an external statement. In fact, what you need to do is to secretly set up a mobile operating system business department, which is responsible for the research and development of the first mobile operating system of Makino technology. This operating system is temporarily named MOS, and its full name is mango operating system. For MOS, you need to adopt the Linux architecture in technology, and at the same time, it's completely new Mobile product thinking to design and R & D, the most important thing is that you must abandon the so-called mobile operating system foundation of Palm, Symbian and Windows-Mobile. They are not industry benchmarks, but we are in the future! "

Li Mu's remark was completely put into Andy Rubin's mind. Andy Rubin originally wanted to make a set of subversive mobile operating system, and he wanted to adopt Linux architecture. These key points coincided with Li Mu.

This also made Andy Rubin feel afraid and grateful. The reason for his fear is that he would be more difficult to succeed if he set up his own business with Li Mu. Fortunately, Li Mu became his own boss and gave up his business completely.

……

Apple is still fighting inside.

It was originally a battle between stop loss and counter attack.

But now, it has become a stop loss faction that is uncertain, but there has been a huge split within the counter offensive, and the debate between the two sides of the split is growing.

All these contradictions are centered on "whether to develop a new operating system for the next generation iPod or not". When the two sides are in a stalemate, the stop loss faction has received a huge blow in communicating with Microsoft about the acquisition.

Microsoft has clearly investigated and analyzed Apple's current situation in more detail, and reconsidered the whole logic of its purchase of apple.

First of all, they think that Apple has a great chance of killing itself. Because of the failure of the iPod business, apple not only lost a cash flow business line, but also is about to bear huge debts and losses, which will continue to drag apple down and drag it to death. In this regard, the avalanche stock price is the best proof;

Second, they also began to ask themselves Is it really necessary for Microsoft to buy apple?

The reason for the acquisition of apple is that it hopes to never be sanctioned by the anti-monopoly law, but this requires Microsoft to complete the actual acquisition of apple through overseas funds and shell companies in a very careful way, which is troublesome and risky. If the Ministry of commerce can not get the evidence that Microsoft actually participates in the acquisition of apple one day, it can use the unfair competition law and Anti monopoly law, go get Microsoft.

It's better to let Apple survive. If it dies, leading to Microsoft's passive dominance of the Wulin, Microsoft will never be threatened by the "antitrust law".

No matter how bad it is, you can start with apple first. When the market value of apple is lower and the desire of stop loss pie to cash in stop loss is stronger, you can start at least with less money.

So Microsoft's attitude has changed a lot. Before that, it didn't want to be associated with the iPod business. Now it's not interested in buying MacOS and the whole computer. Just when the stop loss faction kept asking Microsoft to pack and take away the iPod, Microsoft's negotiation representative suddenly said that Microsoft's purchase price for MacOS and the whole computer was reduced by 25%, as for the original price Because Microsoft only said it had reevaluated it once.

The face of the stops has been greatly humiliated and touched the bottom line of their hearts.

In any matter, everyone has their own bottom line. Before the bottom line is touched, they have their own insistence and belief. But once the bottom line is touched, they will immediately make a huge change. For many couples, cheating is the bottom line of their emotional continuity. Once one of them is cheated, no matter how much they love each other, the other will immediately The decision to leave is the same with the stop.

Microsoft's humiliation, so that stop loss in the bottom line was touched, immediately turned into a counteroffensive.

Dramatic situations have emerged, the contradictions within apple, from the contradiction of surrender or resistance to the contradiction of how to resist.

After a night of heated debate, Tim Cook still failed to get the vast majority of people to accept the idea of developing an operating system for the iPod.

The meeting went on until 7:30 the next morning. All the people were red faced and dry mouthed, but none of them had an absolute advantage.

The short-term is quick to laugh at, low in cost and small in advantage; the long-term is slow in effect, high in cost and big in advantage, so the public say that the public is reasonable, the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and no one will let anyone half score.

In desperation, Tim Cook called jobs, who had been resting at home for several days, to the company.

Jobs didn't want to appear at first, but because of the life and death of apple, he finally decided to come to the meeting to support Tim Cook's decision. After all, for jobs, this is something he will try his best to promote.

The strong support of jobs changed the situation of internal stalemate. Gradually, more and more short-term supporters against the long-term began to be incited by jobs and decided to support Tim Cook's long-term war plan.Then, in a vote starting at 9:00 sharp, the policy of developing the operating system and upgrading the iPod in an all-round way got 77% of the votes.

Tim Cook proudly announced: we want to build a new operating system for the iPod based on the OS system, comprehensively upgrade this generation of iPod, so that it can fully roll over mango-me2, which is the key to Apple's counterattack.

Because it is a project developed for iPod, we decided to name this project as IOS plan.

Half an hour later, when Apple was intensely preparing to launch the IOS plan, Makino technology suddenly announced:

Andy Rubin, a well-known IT expert, formally joined Makino technology, served as the vice general manager and technical director of mango business department, and was fully responsible for the software and hardware research and development of mango products. Makino technology believed that with the joining of Andy Rubin, mango Department We are sure to make more significant breakthroughs in our products.

These red eyed guys inside the apple are much more ugly than the dogs in the sun

Half an hour ago, 77% of the people in Apple thought that Apple should develop a special operating system for the iPod in order to fully upgrade the iPod, so they fully supported the IOS plan; half an hour later, more than 77% of the people in Apple thought that the IOS plan could not be started, because they knew Andy Rubin's ability very well. After all, Andy Rubin had been in After several years of working for apple, Li Mu invited Andy Rubin to join in and let him take charge of mango business department, which shows that like Apple's idea, mango me should be upgraded in an all-round way.

In this way, apple, at an absolute disadvantage, has lost its most valuable opportunity.

Even if this advantage is lost, what else is IOS?

At 9:40, Apple executives voted again.

The IOS plan was abolished and 87% of the votes were cast.

Tim Cook waved his hand dispirited and said to the crowd, "we haven't closed our eyes all night. Let's go home and wash and sleep."
