My Age of Investment
Chapter 807: Countdown starts
Chapter 807 The countdown begins
At night, an office in Silicon Valley is still brightly lit.
Xia Jingxing, who has only slept for two hours from yesterday to now, has red eyes, and he glances at the executives on the left and right while sitting on the top.
"Everyone knows the situation now! Only one week is left for us. We must release products ahead of our opponents and become the first person to break the old era and usher in a new era in the mobile phone industry."
Lin Bing looked serious, he was digesting the shocking news brought by his boss.
Apple has officially confirmed that it will hold a product launch conference a week later, that is, on December 8. At that time, Apple’s painstakingly researched and developed smartphones for several years will be officially unveiled.
If you don’t know what functions Apple phones have, now that they know, they won’t easily hand over the epoch-making honor.
At the same time, because their mobile phones have similar functions to Apple, conflicts broke out in patent applications. The last time Steve Jobs visited the door to negotiate is a clear proof.
But unfortunately, the conflict of interest is too great, and they and Jobs cannot reach an agreement.
Then we can only abandon all illusions and face the enemy head-on!
"Mr. Xia, is this news accurate? We have been monitoring Apple’s every move, and even the owner of the cafe downstairs of their company has been bought by us. The boss will tell us what Apple employees talk about every day."
Zhou Guang spread his hands flat, “but we didn’t detect any movement of a product launch conference.”
Xia Jingxing pursed his lips. He didn't plan to tell a few people that this was actually the news that Yang Zhiyuan passed to him.
Like them, Apple has also reached a cooperation with Yahoo. The latter’s mailbox application will be installed on Apple’s mobile phones to enrich Apple’s functions and provide users with a better experience.
Although Yahoo is lagging behind Google, it is still a world leader in mailboxes. The number of users is much higher than that of Google Gmail, AOL Mail and Microsoft LiveHotmail.
It’s not surprising that Jobs is looking for Yahoo to cooperate. The only thing that surprised Xia Jingxing is that Yang Zhiyuan actually told himself the news and his appearance at the Apple mobile phone conference.
Actually, Apple couldn’t hide it for long after such a dynamic press conference.
But Xia Jingxing still has to remember the favor sent by Yang Zhiyuan, because for them, even if they knew what Apple was doing an hour earlier, they would be more calm in dealing with it.
"The news does not need to go into the source, it must be true, there can be no fraud, Apple strictly guards against it, and will not take this kind of thing into trouble."
Xia Jingxing said lightly: “Our primary consideration now is to put our product launch conference in front of Apple, even one day earlier.”
"There is no big problem, we are well prepared for this day."
Huang Jiangji, who has always been reticent, said excitedly: “I must give Apple a heavy blow this time. It seems that Jobs will not be arrogant in the future.”
Zhou Guangping nodded, and then smiled sadly: "Yes, I saw that the old man was upset and engaged in racial discrimination. We can hold his handle."
"Don't be careless, there are still many problems with mobile maps developed by Naftek."
Looking at Xia Jingxing, Lin Bing said with a serious expression: “This is also a weakness of our mobile phones. If these problems are not solved, the user will never be able to bring the ultimate perfect experience.”
Zhou Guangping suddenly said bitterly: "We are all to blame on the Naftek idiots. If it weren’t for them to hold us back, the phone would have been released long ago."
Lin Bing glanced at Xia Jingxing’s face, and found that the latter’s expression was calm as usual, and there was no response. It is estimated that he has long been accustomed to this person who has no door on his mouth.
"Don’t say that. Naftke used to make on-board maps. They just cut into the mobile field, and some of their hands are normal.
And they attach great importance to cooperation with us. They have recruited the most elite R&D personnel from the entire company to form a rapid assault force. In just a few months, they have come up with a barely acceptable plan, which is already pretty good. "
Lin Bing shrugged, "Respect these partners, or let Google cooperate with us?"
Zhou Guangping squashed, and said: “Without a basic mobile service ecosystem, it’s really troublesome, and it’s subject to people everywhere.”
Lin Bing smiled and comforted: "This is an inevitable process from weak to strong. Android was just a small company before, but now it has a complete set of mobile operating systems, and it is compatible with Microsoft, Yahoo, and Naftek. Wait for a group of companies to reach a cooperation."
"Moreover, Android has recruited a browser, email and other application function development team. Soon, Android will have its own basic application ecology." Huang Jiangji added.
"What about the map?" Zhou Guangping opened which pot or not, as we all know, this is a sensitive industry.
Xia Jingxing did not avoid this question, and replied: "You don't have to worry about the map, I have arrangements."
"Oh."
Zhou Guangping glanced at Xia Jingxing, and shut his mouth with interest.
Xia Jingxing looked around, and slammed a punch on the solid wood table, "There is nothing left to say, let's start our own actions! This time we must completely revive the name of our mobile phone."
"Yes!" Several people replied in a uniform voice.
Some time ago, Xia Jingxing has completely finalized the name of the phone, called Fuxing Phone, which has no special features, but binding with the entire industrial group is the biggest feature.
A competitive product is enough to set fire to the entire group.
Originally, the name of Orange Phone conflicts with the name of Orange, the third largest mobile phone operator in the UK.
This company has some connections with Li Jiacheng. In the 1990s, Li Jiacheng briefly acquired this company, and through the bidding between Vodafone and Mannesmann, he reaped a profit and made a profit of 168 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Orange's brand trademark outside of China is now in the hands of Vodafone. Although it is equivalent to being hidden in the snow, it cannot be used at the risk of infringement.
…………

After the order was issued, the North American branch of Fuxing Mobile was like a high-speed machine. Various departments began to work intensively, including inviting guests and audiences, and they were all proceeding in an orderly manner.
At the same time, they also learn from Apple. They are very low-key. They sneak into the village and don’t shoot guns.
After all the arrangements are completed, wait for that day to come.
Unlike the executives, Xia Jingxing didn't feel any nervousness. He even took the time to go to the Envision Capital (US) startup incubator next door to take a stroll.
The business incubator and the VC fund deployed by Envision Capital in Silicon Valley are located in the same place. The hedge fund department has all moved to 40 Wall Street, New York. The place is vacant, so Andrew moved in with someone.
After several months of decoration and recruitment of entrepreneurship training camp members, the incubator has become a real look.
When Xia Jingxing walked into the incubator, the thousands of square meters of open-plan office area was full of voices. Young entrepreneurs controlled the chairs under their buttocks to slide over and slid over. Large playground.
Seeing this scene, Xia Jingxing not only did not dislike it, but smiled instead. He felt that the place was full of vigor and no intrigue, which reminded him of the campus incubator time a few years ago.
Passing through the noisy crowd, Xia Jingxing saw in a corner Andrew holding a hamburger in one hand and manipulating a mouse in the other.
"Go on, **** him!"
"This son of a bitch, I want to kick his balls."
……
Wearing headphones, Andrew looked at the computer intently, and the various swear words in his mouth never stopped.
"Hey, I lost!"
Andrew sighed in disappointment, and threw the headset to the side. He suddenly noticed the dark figure in front of him, so he looked up and finally found Xia Jingxing who was smiling and looking at him.
"Daren, when did you come?"
With surprises written on Andrew’s face, he quickly stood up, and regardless of the hamburger scum, he began to pat Xia Jingxing’s shoulder.
The boys next to playing games with Andrew also noticed Xia Jingxing, and they all stared at the big man curiously.
Xia Jingxing noticed that Andrew and several boys were wearing a black hoodie, with the ancient Chinese seal logo of "Vision" on their chests.
"The clothes are pretty good." Xia Jingxing patted Andrew's fat belly.
"Really? I think so too!"
Andrew turned his head to look at the boys behind him, and said with a smile: "The little guys also think this place is awesome! Not only do you send clothes, you can also play games without paying internet fees. The friends around you are also good at talking, all of them are talents. , Like a dream home."
Xia Jingxing smiled and said that the incubator he was talking about was like a paradise on earth, but any gifts were secretly priced.
"What kind of team are they?" Xia Jingxing glanced at the group of children younger than him and asked.
Andrew's stomach twitched, "Games and web games are made. Of course, they occasionally play games to find inspiration. As a mentor, I do my part to accompany them to grow together."
"You are really a good mentor, with a wide range of hobbies."
Andrew smiled, "Would you like to see their products? It's pretty good."
Hearing this, several boys immediately looked at Xia Jingxing with their eyes bright, but Xia Jingxing's next sentence made their eyes dimmed.
"No, I'm here specifically for you."
Andrew nodded, then spread his hands to the little guys, and started to follow Xia Jingxing out.
The two came to a small meeting room.
"Let's talk about it, why are you looking for me?" Andrew looked at Xia Jingxing with a weird smile.
