Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 384
Andy Rubin, who was born in 1963, is 42 years old this year. He is a little bald, but although he is a bit rough, he is in good spirits.

"Mr. Lu Bin, nice to meet you, I am Jiang Hui from Guanghui Technology," Jiang Hui said.

"You are a very nice young man. I go to Tudou every day to check it out. I heard that Meituan was also founded by you. You can call me Lubin," Lubin said.

"My success is based on creativity, and I can't compare to Rubin's achievements over the years," Jiang Hui said with a smile.

"What kind of achievement is that for me? If I really do well, I won't meet you here now," Rubin said a little dejectedly.

Over the years, although Rubin has produced a lot of things as a technical master, from a commercial point of view, what he has done is indeed not successful. Jiang Hui couldn't help but think of another legendary figure in the history of science—Nico La-Tesla.

This is also a legendary figure who is extremely powerful in technology, but failed commercially. Even now, many people have not heard of him.

Nikola Tesla (July 1856, 7 ~ January 10, 1943), Serbian-American inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer.He is considered one of the key enablers of the commercialization of electricity and is best known for having presided over the design of the modern alternating current system.Based on the theory of electromagnetic field discovered by Michael Faraday, Tesla had many revolutionary inventions in the field of electromagnetic field.His many related patents and theoretical research work in electromagnetism are the cornerstone of modern wireless communication and radio.

In his previous life, Jiang Hui also saw the popularity of the American electric car Tesla all over the world, and accidentally learned that the name Tesla of Tesla was created in memory of Nikola Tesla.

"No, Rubin, you shouldn't be so lost, history will prove the greatness of your invention. Do you know? You remind me of Nikola Tesla, I think you are very similar to him", Jiang Hui Said.

"You also know Tesla? He is the scientist I admire the most. The world thinks that Edison is the greatest inventor, but that is not the case at all. In front of Tesla, Edison is nothing." Rubin was very excited talking.

Although Rubin's words were a little extreme, Tesla was indeed a great inventor, and Edison was not as great and positive as advertised in Chinese textbooks.

In the autumn of 1882, Tesla worked as an engineer in the Paris branch of the Edison Telephone Company and successfully designed the first induction motor model. In 1884, he went to the United States and worked in Edison's laboratory. He stayed in the United States and became an American citizen.

After Tesla set foot on American soil for the first time, he began working in Edison's laboratory.He has almost nothing but a letter of recommendation from his former employer, Charles Batchello.The letter, addressed to Thomas Edison, said: "I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man."

Edison hired Tesla, placing him at the Edison Machinery Company.Tesla started out with simple electrical designs for Edison, and he made rapid progress, and before long he was able to solve some of the company's very difficult problems.Tesla was entirely responsible for the redesign of Edison's DC motor.

Later, Tesla invented alternating current, which solved the problem of large consumption of electricity for long-distance transportation.And Edison is a supporter of direct current, and the company he opened is doing direct current business.Tesla is the inventor of alternating current. Compared with direct current, alternating current has unparalleled advantages, especially in long-distance power transmission.

It is precisely because of this that Edison was jealous. If the AC was successful, the market prospect of his DC would be bad. Edison was afraid that his company’s business would not be good, so he used his influence to increase people’s fear of AC.He used many methods to make people feel afraid of alternating current.Until the Chicago World's Fair, Tesla's alternating current played a huge role, thus defeating direct current.

"Of course I know that Tesla is a great scientist. The alternating current he invented has been benefiting mankind till now. I think Rubin's Android system will also be a great application," Jiang Hui said.

"Really? Do you really think so? Although I personally believe that the Android system is great, but I have found a lot of investors, but they have not been recognized," Rubin said.

"Truth is often in the hands of a few people. I believe that it won't take ten years, maybe in another three to five years, the world will understand the significance of Android to mobile phones," Jiang Hui said.

"I hope that future mobile phones can be as convenient and powerful as microcomputers, so I developed the Android system, but it seems that it is not recognized. The mobile phones sold in the market now, whether it is Nokia or Motorola, are ordinary function phones. ’ said Rubin.

"They are destined to be eliminated by history. Feature phones are far from meeting people's increasing functional requirements for mobile phones. I have more than a dozen companies in China, and each company is doing well in their respective fields. Now I am going to enter the smartphone market. In the mobile phone industry, I think Rubin’s Android system was born for smartphones,” Jiang Hui said.

"Smartphones? As far as I know, your company is mainly an Internet company and has no mobile phone business," Rubin said doubtfully.

"It's not that there is no mobile phone business. Before this, there was no mobile phone business at all. But because our company did not have this kind of business before, we can develop a brand new epoch-making smartphone without burden and obstacles", Jiang Hui said.

"It also makes sense, so how are you going to buy Android?" Rubin said.

Rubin is a skilled person, but his business level is not very good, but fortunately, Jiang Hui didn't intend to cheat him, otherwise, with his level of negotiation, it is estimated that he would be sold and paid for it.

In the previous life, Google spent 5000 million US dollars to acquire Android. This price was a few months later, and Rubin did not bargain at all.In other words, in Rubin's eyes, the current Android is no more than 5000 million US dollars.

"Glory Technology will invest 3000 million U.S. dollars to fully acquire the Android company. The company will be merged into Glory Technology, and all the company's personnel will remain in their posts. Mr. Lu Bin will continue to preside over the follow-up development of the Android system as the deputy general manager of Glory Technology." Jiang Hui Said.

Lu Bin thought for a minute or two, and agreed to Jiang Hui's acquisition request without further entanglement.Speaking of which, during this period of time, Rubin was looking for investment everywhere, and his heart was deeply shocked. Jiang Hui's asking price was much higher than other investors, so he readily agreed.
