Chapter 486 “Pangu” is born

"Mr. Hu, how about a walk?"

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

"Assistant Wu, aren't you busy tonight? Why did you suddenly show up again?"

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

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

What can happen to Wu Xinhui is just to avoid eating mutton.

Hu Yang knew her little thoughts and didn't point it out. He just said "hmm" from his nose and walked towards his house.

"Assistant Wu, call Charming Electronics tomorrow morning and ask them to come up with the design plan for the 3G mobile phone as soon as possible. I want to take a look. Also, call Ye Chong now and ask him to inquire about the domestic 3G license.

When will it be distributed?"

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

Wu Xinhui remembered the boss's instructions and went out to make a call. Hu Yang sat down at the desk and took out his mobile phone to dial Xia Bing.

"Boss, I was about to call you. I had a good discussion with Android before, but who knew that the other party's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees in the past two days. I wonder if someone was involved?"

After Xia Bing arrived in North America, he met directly with the founder of Android Company. The other party was not averse to acquisitions at all, and it seemed that the price was right and he could sign a contract soon.

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

"Do you still have to doubt this? It must be so. Why don't you go back and ask someone to investigate and see if Google has the intention to acquire Android?"

As soon as Hu Yang guessed that someone was interfering, he immediately thought of Google & Song.

"If Google wanted to acquire Android, it would be in trouble. We would have no advantage in competing with local companies."

If there is competition, it will raise the price of some acquisitions, which is acceptable. 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.

price."

Hu Yang thought that if he could not successfully acquire Android, the next best thing would be to obtain the permanent license first.

With the foundation of technical authorization, a group of talents can be recruited for secondary development. This result is acceptable to Yang Hu.

"Okay, boss, I understand."

Xia Bing really has no confidence in defeating Google in negotiations. The key here is the merger review process from the United States.

With this comparison, it is much simpler to obtain the other party's technical authorization.

After Hu Yang ended the call with Xia Bing, he immediately contacted Gao Mingkang. Mingkang Communications has established its own R&D institution in North America. Regarding technology licensing, several professionals are needed to assist Xia Bing and North American Wind.

cast.

"Mr. Hu, your idea is right. There is no need to fight with Google. It will waste people and money, and in the end it will not achieve the goal. Let me give you a suggestion. On the one hand, we can carry out secondary development through technical authorization, and on the other hand, we can carry out secondary development through technical authorization.

Why not try to cooperate with Google?"

When Hu Yang made the acquisition, he did so jointly with Su Tingting.

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

"Well, I'll think about it. Mr. Gao, please provide Mr. Xia with two technical consultants as soon as possible. We'll 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 Mobile Alliance with 84 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators.

Jointly developed and improved the android system.

The Android system released its source code under an open source license, thus establishing the dominance of Android-based mobile phones in the world.

Let’s put it this way, the perfect Android system is the result of the joint efforts of many excellent companies. Google has also used this open and inclusive attitude to quickly establish an ecosystem that adapts to it.

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

After all, the Android system is an open source platform. This platform is highly open, but it is also subject to interference from the outside world.

Hu Yang felt that Gao Mingkang’s suggestion of cooperation with Google may not be feasible.

The operating system requires technical resources, but it is not necessarily impossible to overcome. The difficulty lies in the establishment of an ecosystem.

After thinking for a long time, he still agreed with some of Gao Mingkang's suggestions, and first obtained technical authorization for secondary development. He could try to establish an alliance domestically.

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

But this time, Xia Bing temporarily put aside his intention to acquire Android and turned to the issue of permanent technology licensing.

"Technical licensing?"

Robin, the founder of the company, was confused, but since the company currently has no source of income, he was still very interested in this request.

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

There is nothing to hide about this. Xia Bing heard from a 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 long 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 request for technical authorization.

However, the two refused to give in on the price, and after several haggling, the final licensing fee was determined at US$1.7 million.

"Mr. Robin, it's a pleasure to work with you. Let's finish this matter first and then talk about the acquisition."

Xia Bing's words surprised Robin. He originally thought that the other party would give up the acquisition plan after obtaining the technical authorization.

Because the Android company has nothing but this mobile operating system.

"Ah, Ms. Xia Bing, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Robin definitely couldn't ask Xia Bing, why did 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 China. Following Hu Yang's instructions, Xia Bing made a copy of the information and gave it to two technical consultants at Mincom Communications' North American R&D organization.

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

If someone asks what kind of people are most popular in Silicon Valley? The answer must be software technicians.

The institute has established a 25-person mobile operating system research and development team to conduct 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 and Robin were talking, the target of technical licensing was Mincom Communications, because North American venture capital was of no use holding technical information.

Of course, the licensing fee of US$1.7 million still needs to be paid by Mincom Communications to North American Venture Capital, so that the entire procedure is complete.

Hu Yang thought for a while, then discussed the idea of ​​the Mobile Phone Open Alliance with Gao Mingkang, 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.

"Okay, let Mr. Xia continue to hold Android back for a while in North America. I hope your research and development can be one step ahead."

Hu Yang now asks Xia Bing to continue negotiating acquisitions with the other party. In fact, he also intends to cause trouble with Google. Of course, he will not let Xia Bing stay in North America for too long. It will be limited to one month, and if it exceeds one month,

Xia Bing can come back first and leave the negotiation to North American Venture Capital.

As a result, within a month, Xia Bing returned to China from North America.

Google & Google didn't know at first that Android Company had granted a permanent technical license to Mincom Communications. By the time they found out, half a month had passed.

Google was a little anxious now, and quickly raised the purchase price appropriately. Then within a short period of time, it reached an agreement with Android Company, and Google purchased Android Company wholly.

Robin, the founder of Android, served as the deputy director of Google's Android division after the acquisition was completed, 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, Mingkang Communication's open mobile operating system platform was completed. This secondary developed system was named "Pangu", and invitations were sent to domestic and foreign communication manufacturers and operators, inviting everyone to participate and actively promote "Pangu"

Optimization of the "Pangu" system.

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