Chapter 486 "Pangu" Birth

"Boss Hu, how about taking a walk?"

Walking in the community, Hu Yang had been thinking about some problems, and suddenly heard Wu Xinhui's voice, which startled her.

"Assistant Wu, don't you have something to do at night? Why did you suddenly appear again?"

Hu Yang took a closer look and saw Wu Xinhui standing behind her, smiling with a low eyebrow.

"Ahem, what, I went out to have a meal with someone, and I just finished my work. I was afraid that you have something to do here, boss, so I came here."

Wu Xinhui could do nothing but avoid eating mutton.

Hu Yang knew her little thought, so he didn't point it out, just let out a "hmm" from his nose, and then walked towards his room.

"Assistant Wu, call Charming Electronics tomorrow morning and ask them to come up with the design plan for 3G mobile phones as soon as possible. When will it be released?"

Hu Yang came directly to the study, and casually arranged two tasks for Wu Xinhui.

Wu Xinhui remembered what the boss ordered and went out to make a phone call.Hu Yang sat down at the desk, took out his mobile phone and called Xia Bing.

"Boss, I'm about to call you. I had a good talk with Andrew before, but who knows that the attitude of the other party has suddenly turned 180 degrees in the past two days. I wonder if someone has intervened?"

After Xia Bing arrived in North America, he met the founder of Android Company directly.The other party does not reject the acquisition at all, and it seems that the price is right and the contract will be signed soon.

But in the past two days, the other party's attitude has changed a lot, and his appetite has grown a lot.

"Do you still have doubts? It must be. You go back and ask someone to investigate and see if Google has the intention to acquire Android?"

As soon as Hu Yang guessed, it was someone's intrusion, and he immediately thought of Google.

"If Google wants to acquire Android, it will be troublesome. We have no advantage in competing with local companies."

If there is competition, it is acceptable to raise some acquisition prices. I am afraid that if someone uses some tricks, North American venture capital will lose the qualification to compete.

Xia Bing expressed great concern on the phone.

"Mr. Xia, don't put too much pressure on it. It's great to be able to complete the acquisition. If it's not possible, we can first talk to Android about technology authorization and ask them what we need to pay if we want to obtain the permanent authorization of the latest version of the software." price."

Hu Yang thought, if the acquisition of Android cannot be successful, the next best thing is to get the permanent authorization first.

With the foundation of technology authorization, a group of talents can be recruited for secondary development. This result is also acceptable to Populus euphratica.

"Okay, boss, I see."

Xia Bing really doesn't have the confidence to defeat Google in the negotiation. The key here is the merger review process originating from Laomei.

In this comparison, it is much easier to obtain the technical authorization of the other party.

After Hu Yang finished talking with Xia Bing, he immediately got in touch with Gao Mingkang again.Mingkang Communications has established its own research and development organization in North America. Regarding technology licensing, several professionals are needed to assist Xia Bing and North American venture capital.

"Mr. Hu, your idea is right. There is no need to fight Google & Google. Not to mention the waste of money and money, but in the end it will not achieve the goal. Let me give you a suggestion. On the one hand, we will carry out secondary development through technical authorization, and on the other hand Why not try to cooperate with Google & Google?"

When Hu Yang acquired GOTO.COM, he and Su Tingting jointly acquired it.

According to Gao Mingkang, this kind of plan can be adopted again.

"Well, I'll think about it. Mr. Gao, please provide Mr. Xia with two technical advisors as soon as possible. Let's talk about other things later."

Hu Yang hung up the phone and sat there thinking about Gao Mingkang's suggestion.

In fact, in that time and space, the Android system was not perfect all of a sudden.On the contrary, after Google acquired Android, it formed the Open Handset Alliance with 84 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators to jointly develop and improve the Android system.

The Android system has released the source code under the authorization of the open source license, thus establishing the dominance of the Android system mobile phone in the world.

Let's put it this way, a perfect Android system is the crystallization of the joint efforts of many excellent companies.And Google also took advantage of this open and inclusive attitude to quickly establish an ecological circle that adapts to it.

"Well, that means even if I acquire Android, I still have to find a way to build an alliance?"

In the final analysis, the Android system is an open source platform. This platform is highly open, but it is also subject to external interference.

Hu Yang felt that Gao Mingkang's proposal to cooperate with Google may not be feasible.

The operating system is something that needs a source of technology, and it may not be impossible to overcome it. The difficulty lies in the establishment of the ecology.

After thinking for a long time, he still approved some of Gao Mingkang's suggestions, and first obtained the technical authorization for secondary development.Attempts can be made to build alliances within the country.

After receiving the latest instructions from the boss, Xia Bing came to Android again with the negotiating team and technical consultants.

But this time, Xia Bing temporarily put aside his intention to acquire Android, and instead talked about the issue of permanent technology authorization.

"Technical authorization?"

Robin, the founder of the company, was very puzzled, but the company does not have any source of income at present, so he is still very interested in this request.

"Yes, although your company's operating system is not yet perfect, we hope to obtain a permanent authorization and carry out secondary development on this basis."

There is nothing to hide about this. Xia Bing heard from the technical consultant that the boss wanted to obtain technical authorization, possibly to save time.

The Android system itself is a free and open-source operating system based on Linux, but it takes a lot of time to develop it from scratch.If secondary development is carried out on this basis, it will definitely be much faster.

Robin thought for a while, and agreed to Xia Bing's technical authorization request.

However, the two did not agree on the price, and after several rounds of bargaining, the final licensing fee was determined at US$170 million.

"Mr. Robin, happy cooperation. Let's finish this matter first, and then talk about the acquisition."

Xia Bing's words surprised Robin. He thought that the other party would probably give up the acquisition plan because they had obtained the technical authorization.

Because the Android company has nothing, only this mobile phone operating system.

"Ah, Ms. Xia Bing, happy cooperation."

Robin must not ask Xia Bing, why do you spend money twice for the same thing?He happily signed a contract with Xia Bing, and after the other party successfully paid, he handed over the technical information of the operating system to the other party.

The technical information was quickly sent back to the country. Xia Bing copied the information and handed it to two technical consultants of Mingkang Communication North America R&D Institute according to Hu Yang's instructions.

The two brought the information back to Mingkang Communications North American Research Institute, and Gao Mingkang ordered the research institute to hire some software engineers to start secondary development for the Android system.

If someone asks who has the most people in Silicon Valley?The answer must be the most software technicians.

The research institute set up a 25-person mobile phone operating system research and development team to carry out secondary development of the Android system.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Xia's efficiency is really high. In just a few days, the technical information has arrived in China. I plan to set up a research and development team in China and Europe to specialize in the research and development of mobile phone operating systems. "

When Xia Bing talked with Robin, the object of technical authorization was Mingkang Communication, because it was useless for North American venture capital to hold technical information.

Of course, the authorization fee of 170 million US dollars still needs to be paid by Mingkang Communications to the North American venture capital in the end, so that the whole procedure can be completed.

After Hu Yang thought about it, he talked with Gao Mingkang about the idea of ​​an open mobile phone alliance in his mind, and finally asked him if it was possible to form such an alliance in China first?
"Well, you can give it a try. After all, China is a big market, and international giants still care about this market."

Gao Mingkang is not very sure, but now is the best time to develop a mobile operating system and establish an ecosystem. After all, everyone has the same starting point.

"That's okay, let Mr. Xia continue to hold on to Android in North America for a while, I hope your research and development can be one step faster."

Hu Yang still asked Xia Bing to continue negotiating with the other party about the acquisition, in fact, he also meant to make trouble with Google.Of course, he wouldn't let Xia Bing stay in North America for too long. He would limit it to one month. After one month, Xia Bing could come back first, and the negotiation would be left to the North American venture capital.

As a result, Xia Bing returned to China from North America in less than a month.

Google didn't know at the beginning that the Android company had already authorized Mingkang Communication's permanent technology.By the time I knew it, another half a month had passed.

Google was a little anxious now, and quickly raised the purchase price appropriately, and within a short period of time, it reached an agreement with the Android company, and Google fully acquired the Android company.

Robin, the founder of Android, became the deputy director of Google's Android business department after the acquisition, and was responsible for the construction of the Android platform.

This news caused quite a stir in the industry, and Google's stock price also rose sharply, breaking through $150 in just a few trading days.

At the end of the year, the open mobile phone operating system platform of Mingkang Communication was completed.This secondary developed system was named "Pangu", and invitations were sent to communication manufacturers and operators at home and abroad to actively promote the optimization of the "Pangu" system.

At the same time, the Pangu system also began to carry out open source authorization, and on this basis, open source code.

A series of dazzling actions by Mingkang Communication not only stimulated Google to launch its own open "Android" system platform, but also prompted Microsoft to hastily launch its own mobile phone operating system "Wasion".
