A person with extremely strong entrepreneurial beliefs will never be interested in any form of working. Li Mu has seen many such people. They may not have strong abilities, but they all have strong beliefs. They are of the type that does not hit the wall and do not look back.

Li Mu does not understand Andy Rubin's personality, but he knows that Andy Rubin's entrepreneurial beliefs are not strong, otherwise he would not have sold Android, which he had founded for less than two years, to Google in his previous life.

The pig was sold in a hurry before it grew strong. There are only two possible reasons: either he didn't want to raise it or he couldn't afford it. No matter which type Andy Rubin is, it proves that his entrepreneurial belief is not strong.

Since the belief is not strong enough, there is a possibility of wavering.

When Andy Rubin faced Li Mu's personal invitation, although he seemed to be silent on the surface, he was extremely excited.

In any case, for Andy Rubin, being able to get Li Mu’s personal invitation to join Makino Technology has made his position in Silicon Valley a big step in an instant.

The world's top rich man and the founder of a top Internet company personally invites himself to join his company. Isn't this bragging enough? At least you can brag for half your life.

Li Mu's invitation is like an unsuccessful Chinese actor for Andy Rubin. He suddenly received a personal invitation from Spielberg or James Cameron, hoping that he could play an important role in his movie. As soon as Spielberg spoke, the actor's value suddenly increased.

While Andy Rubin was excited, his entrepreneurial ideas in his heart began to change drastically due to the influence of Li Mu.

When Andy Rubin's will in his heart was shaken when he thought that he might not be suitable for a CEO or a company.

At this time, Li Mu, who is as cunning as a fox, began to instill poisonous chicken soup in him again and sighed: "Andy, starting a business is not easy, and there are too few successful people. For many entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship is like a big gamble. The bet is not only all their possessions, but also their own future. Some people can easily earn millions of dollars a year, but they have to give up this opportunity to start a business. In the end, the business failed. Not only did the millions of dollars a year's income be wasted, but millions of dollars of dollars in vain. Finally, they went to find a job, but found that their value in the eyes of the boss was greatly reduced by the experience of failed entrepreneurial experience. Do you think this is not worth the loss?"

Andy Rubin nodded involuntarily.

Li Mu said again: "So, I suggest that entrepreneurs, or those who are preparing to start a business, ask themselves a few questions before starting a business:

Is my project really OK? Am I really insisting on starting a business? If I start a business, how much savings can I invest in it? How to set my stop loss line? Should I stop after losing all my cash savings, or will I lose all my cash savings, and then lose all my real estate? Or after losing all my assets, I owe loans several times my assets? What if I fail to start a business in the end? What if I have nothing? What if I have nothing and are ridiculed by the people around me? What if I have no more days to turn over?"

Li Mu's series of problems were like countless shells, constantly bombing Andy Rubin's psychological defense line, and one by one exploded and collapsed his psychological wall. They were also like powerful aquatic plants in the water, woven together into a water net with huge resistance, and they were constantly entangled on Andy Rubin's small boat's propeller, constantly slowing down its speed and reducing its power until a moment, the propeller could no longer rotate.

Suddenly at such a moment, Andy Rubin's heart suddenly became clear as if he had cleared the clouds and saw the sun!

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

After figuring out these, Andy Rubin said to Li Mu without hesitation: "Mr. Li, I am willing to accept your invitation to join Makino Technology!"

Li Mu looked at Andy Rubin, who was almost bald, and a little bit of a wicked smile appeared on his lips. In front of him, Andy Rubin was like a soldier with a weak will during the war. He always had a beautiful vision of throwing his head and sprinkling his blood in his heart, but in front of the sugar-coated shells, he lost his position.

Then, Li Mu extended his hand to Andy Rubin, smiled slightly, and said, "Welcome to Makino Technology."

Andy Rubin is now full of hard work in Makino Technology to prove his passion, so he immediately asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, when will I join the company?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "If you want, I can arrange someone to apply for you now."

Andy Rubin asked again: "What is my position?"

Li Mu said: "It is claimed to be the deputy general manager and technical director of the mango business department, and is responsible for the development of mango's software and hardware technology."

After saying that, Li Mu added: "This is just an external statement. In fact, what you have to do is to secretly form a mobile operating system business unit, responsible for the development of Muye Technology's first mobile operating system. This operating system is temporarily named mos, and its full name is mango-operating-system. For mos, you must technically adopt the Linux architecture and design and development with a brand new mobile product thinking. The most important thing is that you must abandon palm and Saipan, the so-called mobile operating system foundation of indos-mobile. They are not the industry benchmark, but we are the future!"

Li Mu's words completely entered Andy Rubin's heart. Andy Rubin originally wanted to build a subversive mobile operating system, and what he wanted was to adopt a Linux architecture. These key points coincided with Li Mu.

This also made Andy Rubin feel afraid and glad, because if he really wanted to start a business, it would be even more difficult for him to succeed with Li Mu; it was because Li Mu became his boss and he completely gave up starting a business.

...

There is still fighting inside Apple.

It was originally a battle between the stop loss faction and the counter-offensive faction.

But now, the stop loss faction is unpredictable, but there is a huge division within the counter-offensive faction, and the debate between the two split sides is getting bigger and bigger.

All this contradiction revolves around "whether to develop a new operating system for the next generation of ipods". When the two sides were in a stalemate, the stop loss faction received a huge blow in communicating with Microsoft about the acquisition.

Microsoft obviously conducted more detailed investigations and analysis of Apple's current status and reconsidered the entire logic of its acquisition of Apple.

First of all, they feel that Apple is very likely to waste its own death. Because of the failure of the IPOD business, Apple not only lost a cash flow business line, but also was about to bear huge debts and losses for it. This will continue to drag Apple down and to death. Regarding this, an avalanche-like stock price is the best proof;

Secondly, they also began to ask themselves, is it really necessary for Microsoft to acquire Apple?

The reason for the acquisition of Apple is that it hopes to never be subject to sanctions by the antitrust law, but this requires Microsoft to use very, very careful methods to complete the actual acquisition of Apple through overseas funds and shell companies. This is very troublesome and has risks. Maybe one day the Ministry of Commerce will obtain evidence that Microsoft actually participated in the acquisition of Apple, and it can use the unfair competition law and the antitrust law to get Microsoft.

Instead of doing this, it is better to let Apple die on its own. If it dies, Microsoft will passively dominate the martial arts world, and Microsoft will no longer be threatened by the "anti-monopoly law".

No matter how bad it is, you can take the full airs with Apple first, and wait until Apple's market value is reduced, and the desire to cash out and stop loss is stronger will not be too late to buy it, at least you can spend a lot of money.

So Microsoft's attitude changed a lot. Before, she didn't want to be the scoop of the iPod business, but now she is not interested in the acquisition of maos and the entire computer. Just as the stop loss faction kept asking Microsoft to pack and take away the iPod, Microsoft's negotiator suddenly stated that Microsoft's acquisition price for maos and the entire computer was reduced by 25%. As for the reason, Microsoft only said that it had reassessed it once.

The face of the stop loss faction was greatly humiliated and touched the bottom line in their hearts.

In everything, everyone has their own bottom line. Before the bottom line is touched, they have their own persistence and beliefs, but once the bottom line is touched, they will immediately make a huge change. For example, for many couples, cheating is the bottom line for their emotional existence. Once one party cheats, no matter how much the other party loves the other party, they will immediately make a decision to leave, and the same is true for stop loss parties.

Microsoft's humiliation made the stop loss faction immediately become a counterattack faction after the bottom line was touched.

A dramatic situation has emerged, from the contradiction between surrender or resistance to the contradiction of how to resist.

After a night of fierce debate, Tim Cook still failed to get most people to accept the development of operating systems for ipods.

The meeting continued until 7:30 the next morning. Everyone was arguing with each other and their mouths were dry, but they still failed to gain an absolute advantage.

Short-term laughter is quick, the cost is low, and the advantage is small; long-term effect is slow, the cost is high, and the advantage is large. So the husband is right and the mother is right, and no one can give anyone a slight difference.

In desperation, Tim Cook called Jobs, who had been recuperating at home for a few days, to the company.

Jobs was originally unwilling to appear, but because it was related to Apple's life and death, he finally decided to come to the meeting to support Tim Cook's decision. After all, for Jobs, this was something he would do his best to promote.

Jobs' strong support changed the internal stalemate. Gradually, short-term supporters who oppose long-term are increasingly incited by Jobs and began to decide to support Tim Cook's long-term combat plan.

Then, in a voting that started at about 9 o'clock, the operating system was developed and the policy of comprehensively upgrading the ipod was obtained, and the voting approval rate was 77%.

Tim Cook proudly announced: We will build a brand new operating system for the ipod based on the Os system, comprehensively upgrade this generation of ipods, so that it can completely crush Mango-me2, which is the key to Apple's counterattack.

Because it was developed for the purpose of ipod, everyone decided to name the project code name the ios plan.

Half an hour later, when Apple was ambitiously preparing to launch the "ios plan", Makino Technology suddenly issued an announcement:

Well-known IT expert Andy Rubin officially joined Makino Technology, serving as the deputy general manager and technical director of the mango business unit, and is fully responsible for the software and hardware development of the mango series products. Makino Technology believes that with Andy Rubin's joining, the mango series products will surely make more significant breakthroughs.

These red-eyed guys inside the apple have much ugly expressions than those of the Sun Dog...

Half an hour ago, 77% of people inside Apple believed that Apple should develop a dedicated operating system for the ipod in order to fully upgrade the ipod, so they fully support the launch of the ios plan;

Half an hour later, more than 77% of people inside Apple believed that the iOS plan would not need to be launched because they knew Andy Rubin's abilities very well. After all, Andy Rubin had worked at Apple for several years. Li Mu invited Andy Rubin to join and asked him to be in charge of the mango business unit. This is clearly the same as Apple's idea, and it is necessary to upgrade mango-me in a comprehensive manner.

In this way, Apple, which is at an absolute disadvantage, will lose its most valuable opportunity.

Even this advantage is gone, so why are you doing iOS?

At 9:40, Apple executives voted again.

The ios plan was abolished and a 87% turnout was obtained.
