Chapter 691: Dealing with Apple's default
Cloud computing projects are not open and perfect for one or two years, and there is no way to produce results in a short time. Even with Dr. Ye's kernel program, the team needs further development, but it will greatly shorten the development time. .
After all, in the field of it, time represents great wealth.
The next day, after receiving a phone call, Rich Green came to the company to sign a work contract. After Andy, as the big boss, introduced him to all the staff, his 23rd company also officially welcomed it. eo.
"Well, this office is yours. I can also go to the UK with confidence. At the previous meeting, you also heard that the company needs to recruit a professional to speed up the development of operating procedures. There is a pool of talent needed for a range of artificial intelligence components. "
Andy took the coffee and looked at Rich Rich Green, who said leisurely. To be honest, he was also very interested in managing the operation of a large company, but with the accumulation of wealth, more and more companies, This idea is a bit light, or a bit impractical.
However, this management mode that directly drives professional managers is more handy. For foreigners, Andy has never lavished it. Instead, it is integrity, professional ethics, and a contract spirit that requires more time to cultivate and test. Void loyalty reassured him even more.
Of course, supervision is indispensable, so he has always implemented the Legal Department and the Finance Department to select and manage from their own talent pool of think tanks, so that they know each company well and develop at a strategic level. Will not deviate.
The most important point is that all of Andy's companies are non-listed companies, and the shares are firmly controlled in his own hands. He does not need to worry about the company's power issues. Obedient and capable professional managers will reuse them and give them full trust. People with crooked thoughts don't need to show up. One license can fire the company's legal department directly, and Andy doesn't even need to show up.
"I understand." Rich Green's expression was very serious, he did not expect that the company actually held such two big killers, cloud computing kernel operating procedures, and the initial model of artificial intelligence.
This really made him very excited. A future super unicorn company will now be run by him, which has to be said to make his career brighter.
"Boss, I think that component programs such as image recognition technology, core face technology, speech recognition, speech synthesis, natural language understanding and other artificial intelligence technology. If we set up our own studio from scratch, it will take time and Human and material resources are a little bit worthless.
There are many studios with expertise in this field in Silicon Valley. We can screen out some potential development teams for mergers and acquisitions as needed to complete our own needs.
Spending tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars is not an unacceptable thing for your boss, and our company can rely on annexation, absorption and digestion to obtain a complete technology tree. This is undoubtedly the easiest and short time. It can promote an important part of the company's technological leap. "
Andy agrees with Rich Green's point of view, he also considered this solution, but currently he thinks that cloud computing is the first task that the company needs to develop. After all, the evolution and learning of artificial intelligence require huge data as the basis.
However, it now seems that it is indeed necessary to make early preparations and make the company's technical reserves well, which is the so-called company technology tree, to deepen the foundation of Musika.
"Okay, this matter is also entrusted to you. I believe your judgment and vision will not disappoint me."
Hearing the words of the young boss, Rich Green did not show any flattering expression, but just smiled calmly. He was still very confident in running the company. After all, he could let bea and ibm grab the market. Relying on cannibalizing market share to ultimately defeat this giant company's plan was directed by his own hands. As for the ultimate bea acquisition by Larry Ellison, it was a crime of non-war, but only the result of capitalist's profitability.
Andy greeted Dr. Ye, who was in the data center, and left Museka Cloud Computing. Because it is a new company, Andy naturally knows that the next period will enter the break-in period, but fortunately He has repeatedly made clear that the administration and operation of the company is the responsibility of EO. Although Dr. Ye is a shareholder, he can only control the company's technology. He does not have the authority to conduct administrative and personnel, operational investigation, and division of labor. It is clear that there are no overlapping management conflicts.
The flight ticket to London, UK has been booked. Tonight at 10 o'clock, he will go to England to complete the acquisition of Tottenham Hotspur. Before that, he came to the mocking bird game company and called Michael Wright, the eo of the other software app mall, into the conference room.
"You all have received a letter from Apple wanting to restart negotiations. They want to change some of the terms that were signed." Andy's greed for Apple has long been prepared, but he didn't want to relax easily. Without enough benefits, he Andy Smith will never eat such aggrieved losses.
"Jobs's attitude is relatively resolute. He even hesitated to perform a full breach of contract, and then went to court to delay time. Even if Apple Company eventually paid the default compensation, their purpose of establishing a new platform and taking away our current advantages was achieved. "Michael Wright frowned.
"The key is the download platform jump choice. After all, Apple controls the hardware of the mobile phone and the ios system. They also want to solve our trouble before launching the new model and block or modify the system according to the situation." Ugly said.
However, the mocking bird game company that he represents has no competition with Apple. He does not want to affect the expansion plan of the game company because of the contradiction between the free city app store and Apple, but the final decision depends on the big boss. selected.
After Andy groaned for a while, he finally decided: "Blair, the difference between the game company and Apple is not very big, it's nothing more than a problem of downloading the preferred app store. After all, our game is based on the ios system, currently on the Android system Before this time, we really ca n’t do without Apple ’s support, so negotiations with Apple can give way. ”
Looking at Michael with a gloomy face, he said, "Michael, haven't we thought about this situation now? After all, this is a billion-dollar market. Apple itself has a huge advantage. How can they let others People earn their beautiful knives.
Let's talk about a mobile phone. Do you think there will be two app stores in the system menu of the factory? Therefore, from the beginning, Apple and Jobs intend to kick the city of Liberty out of contract. In the next negotiations, you should pay more attention to what moths they play to reduce the damages. The valuation of large companies is nothing, but after all, they are paying out. I don't think they will fulfill their agreement quickly.
Therefore, your task is to get liquidated damages without concession, and then I will leave you 100 million US dollars to develop publicity, and use the publicity to resist the official background of the official app store of Apple mobile phones. After all, we are in the current app download market. It is an independent company, and developers of various software also make a lot of money. Programmers who have tasted the sweetness know how to choose. "
Hearing the analysis of the big boss, Michael Wright couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded: "It seems that this can only be the case. Next, the mall will conduct a comparison of the most popular app to increase the number of mall applications And types, since we ca n’t take exclusive shortcuts, then our mall will take a full, multiple, and cheap route to consolidate our position. "
"Good idea!" Andy nodded contentedly, and didn't show how surprised he was to modify Michael Wright's operating strategy.
