Li Kunyao said hello to Yu Dong and ran to Jiang Jie to discuss the automated office software. After he left, Yu Dong asked Yu Liang, "What do you want to see me for?"
Yu Liang smiled and handed a document to Yu Dong: "This is the sales data of BenQ S1 and BenQ stores as of yesterday. Boss, you are here at the park, so I will show it to you."
Yu Dong nodded, took the document, and flipped through it briefly.
He had already seen a batch of data a few days ago, and the data submitted by the margin did not change much this time. The sales volume was higher and the market expectations were better, but it was all within expectations.
"You don't have to show me this kind of data every time in the future. You can give it to me when I want it."
"Okay, I understand." Yiliang took back the document, and then handed another document to Yu Dong, "Besides this, there is one more thing. Didn't I mention to you before that I wanted to acquire a translation agency?
This is the translation agency we want to acquire."
"Have the talks been settled?" Yu Dong asked.
"Well, the conditions have been negotiated. Now I'm just waiting for your nod. As long as there are no problems on your side, boss, we can sign the contract."
Yu Dong had mentioned the acquisition of a translation agency before, but it was not a big deal in itself, so he didn't ask much about it and left it to him.
Deep Space Company has a lot of translation business. Although they have established a translation department of their own and have been cooperating with well-known translators, they have always had to outsource a lot of their business.
Now that the company is exporting more and more entertainment products, the demand for translation is also growing. If we slowly absorb talents, the efficiency will be too low. It is better to directly acquire a powerful translation agency.
Yu Dong opened the document, ready to see how the rest of the organization they acquired this time was doing.
But when he saw the name of the translation agency, he narrowed his eyes. Hangzhou Haibo Translation Agency, the name sounded familiar.
He looked down again, and sure enough, he saw a familiar name, Ma Yun.
After staring at the name for a long time, Yu Dong looked up at Yuliang again, "What are the terms you negotiated with the other translation agency? Can we get all the shares of their agency?"
Yuliang shook his head, "No, we only have 55% of the shares, and the company's original shareholders will be diluted in the same proportion. From the beginning of the negotiation with the other party, we actually did not want all their shares. This
Ma Yun, the owner of a translation agency, is a very sociable person. He is well-known in Hangzhou and has good relationships with various units. A large part of Haibo Translation Agency’s business comes from various government units. I think,
It would be better to let him run Translation Social. Boss, do you think 55% of the shares are less?"
Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, "No, fifty-five percent is quite a lot. This Ma Yun only runs a translation agency, doesn't he have other businesses?"
Yuliang thought for a while and said, "When I talked to him before, I heard him talk about some of his previous entrepreneurial experiences. It seems that he ran away to start a computer company in the middle. He worked for a few years and it seemed to be developing well, but
He was dissatisfied, so he sold several websites he owned, and with the money from selling the websites, he went back to develop and expand Haibo Translation Agency. Now, in addition to Haibo Translation Agency, he also set up an education and training institution, this
The education and training institution only taught English to adults at the beginning, but now it has expanded to many other courses. Its scale is no smaller than Haibo Translation Agency, and its development prospects are even better."
After hearing what Yu Li said about Ma Yun's current situation, Yu Dong blinked his eyes. He didn't expect Ma Yun to compete with Yu Minhong for his job.
Yu Dong had thought about this before. Since Deep Space Company has developed all the Internet and other things, will the two horses still enter the market? Will they become a threat to Deep Space Company?
The other horse didn't know, but now it seems that this horse doesn't know.
Ma Yun is still successful in his current career. This is because his personal abilities are indeed strong, but the hot spot has been taken over by the Deep Space Company. It is basically impossible for him to achieve the success he had in his previous life.
After briefly looking at the document, Yu Dong said, "Let's get the formal contract done. Let's sign the contract later. Ma Yun should come over to sign the contract by then, right?"
"Well, he will come by then."
"Okay, then bring him over to meet with me."
"Okay, I remember."
…
Ten days later, Yu Dong met Ma Yun, and the two chatted for more than an hour.
I have to say that Ma Yun is indeed very good at talking, or bragging, and the positive energy he exudes is difficult for ordinary young people to resist.
There are many kinds of people who are good at management in this world. Some people are proficient in the rules of management and use rules and regulations to restrain their subordinates, while some people are good at keeping their subordinates energetic and motivated. Ma Yun is obviously the latter.
Although Ma Yun boasts very much, people always feel that what he says can come true.
Even someone like Yu Dong, who has been in a high position for a long time, almost fell into Ma Yun's trap.
During the conversation between the two, Ma Yun had been showing Yu Dong the educational institution he founded, intentionally or unintentionally, how he established the institution under difficult conditions, and how he developed the institution to such a scale step by step.
, and some of his future plans.
After the presentation, he began to reveal to Yu Dong what conditions his educational institution needed to take a step further. When Yu Dong heard these conditions, deep space could not satisfy them.
Yu Dong was just about to invest in Ma Yun's educational institution.
Yu Dong is quite interested in another idea mentioned by Ma Yun. Ma Yun said that he wants to build an automatic translation website. Netizens only need to input text into the website, and they will get translations of various texts.
However, this time Ma Yun mainly wanted Yu Dong to invest in his education and training institution, so he did not talk in depth about the translation website.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Ma Yun left, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't been reborn and had Jimmy's help, he would never have been able to outplay Ma Yun.
…
Ma Yun walked forward, but another guest arrived at Yu Dong's office.
This time the visitor is a foreigner, about forty years old, wearing glasses and bald. He looks a bit dull, but if you look carefully at his eyes, you will feel that this man is very spiritual.
It seems a bit inconsistent to apply the word "reiki" to a forty-year-old man, but it is obvious that the man in front of me is very suitable.
This man’s name is Andy Rubin. When Yu Dong was chatting with Larry Page and Roberta Williams, he heard them mention Andy Rubin and heard that he was developing a scanning device.
.
This scanning device can scan objects and then connect to the Internet to find some information related to the objects on search engines. But when he heard about this thing, Yu Dong was very interested and asked Roberta to help contact him.
After a period of long-distance communication, Andy Rubin finally came to China to meet Yu Dong.
What impressed Andy Rubin and made him travel thousands of miles to China was naturally Yu Dong's willingness to invest in his scanning equipment.
A few years ago, several of Andy Rubin's colleagues at Apple established a research and development company, artemis, and invited him to join. After that, they developed an interactive Internet webtv. This webtv has hundreds of thousands of users and annual revenue
Reached 100 million US dollars.
Later, Artemis was acquired by Microsoft, and Andy Rubin also stayed at Microsoft.
At Microsoft, he has been quietly exploring his own robot project.
He built a walking robot equipped with a camera and a microphone that wandered around Microsoft and recorded what it saw and heard.
One day, Microsoft security personnel discovered that the computer controlling the robot had been hacked. Although the hacker who invaded the computer did not find that the computer was removable or had a camera function, Microsoft security personnel still
Ask Andy Rubin to relegate robots to obscurity.
After that, he left Microsoft and set up his own laboratory to study various robots.
That kind of scanning equipment was also researched and completed by him in this laboratory. However, after the research was completed, no one was willing to fund him.
Andy Rubin is a very direct person. After meeting Yu Dong, after just a few words of conversation, he asked straight to the point, "YU, are you really willing to fund my laboratory? How much are you willing to fund?"
money?"
Yu Dong also didn't expect that Andy Rubin would talk about money as soon as they met, but it's not wrong to think about it. Andy Rubin is a technical master and usually pays little attention to literature, so it is impossible for the two of them to talk about literature.
Yu Dong wouldn't understand if he talked about technology instead of literature, so he might as well just talk about money directly.
Since he was direct, Yu Dong didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile, "It depends on how much money you need."
Andy Rubin thought about it and said, "Maybe, three million dollars?"
Three million U.S. dollars is not a small amount. After all, their project is very small, and the equipment they make cannot even be sold for ten U.S. dollars.
Yu Dong did not rush to answer, but asked, "When we chatted on Dongdong before, you mentioned that you added a wireless receiver and converter to the original equipment?"
Andy Rubin nodded, "Well, we added the wireless receiver and converter. Next, it will become a smartphone that can access the Internet. The difference is that this smartphone will be equipped with a scanner that can scan the Internet.
As a camera for objects, people can use this device to scan objects anytime and anywhere, and then query information on the Internet. Of course, this is just the first step. In addition to the function of scanning pictures, I will continue to add some other functions. Eventually,
Build it into a robot that can connect to the Internet and help us share our work."
After listening to Andy Rubin's idea, Yu Dong fell into deep thought. Although Andy Rubin said that he wanted to build a robot that could help humans work, Yu Dong felt that Andy Rubin was researching it.
Something more like a mobile operating system.
Thinking of this, Yu Dong asked, "Can the system used by your sidekick be grafted into a mobile phone?"
Andy Rubin pushed up his glasses, "Of course. Didn't I say that the next step will be a smartphone that can scan pictures, and its system can also be grafted onto other devices. I
I know that you have recently released a mobile phone, so I guess you want to put this system on the mobile phone. However, I would like to remind you that putting this system on the mobile phone is not very useful at this stage because of the current wireless network.
Very poor, and the device relies heavily on wireless networks.”
In fact, the development of mobile networks has been very rapid in recent years, but it is still limited to the formulation of standards and has not been popularized by the public at all.
Europe and the United States may be faster, but China will only enter the 2G era in the second half of this year.
In order to allow mobile users to use the Internet, operators launched gprs technology. In fact, gprs can only be regarded as a plug-in for gsm. This thing only completed the first phase of the agreement in 1997.
However, after the advent of GPRS, the main development direction of mobile communications was determined - improving data service capabilities.
There is also an EDGE technology that can provide twice the data service rate of gprs, but many ordinary people cannot even use gprs, let alone edge, which is not even commercially available.
However, Yu Dong still believes that since we want to study operating systems, we must do so as early as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late to wait until mobile networks are developed.
And there are already people working on mobile operating systems. Three years ago, in order to fight against Microsoft and introduce mobile products that can run open operating systems into the mass consumer field, Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Mitsubishi and Psion jointly invested in London to become Symbian
company.
Two years ago, Symbian launched the first generation system Symbian 5.0.
Last year, Ericsson released the r380 mobile phone, becoming the world's first mobile phone based on the Symbian operating system. This mobile phone integrates network, wireless text, web browsing, email sending and receiving and other functions, and can also run small third-party software.
This year, Nokia released news that they will release a 2.5g mobile phone based on the Symbian system. The so-called 2.5g is GPRS.
Yu Dong knows what the future of Symbian will look like, but Yu Dong still believes that it should develop its own operating system as early as possible, so as to seize the market opportunities in the field of smart mobile terminals in the future.
He pondered for a while and said, "I think that adjusting the direction appropriately and developing a mobile operating system that can be used on mobile phones will not affect your other research, right?"
Andy Rubin said very confidently, "Of course not. The original direction is the same, but then three million will not be enough."
Yu Dong smiled and snapped his fingers, "No problem, let alone three million. As long as you can make something, 30 million is no problem."
