Chapter 1430 (1/2)
Andy Rubin came to Muye technology with an excited and uneasy heart and explained his intention to the front desk of the hall. Li Ziwei immediately came out to meet him and took him to Li Mu's office.
This is Li Mu's first meeting with Andy Rubin. At this time, Andy Rubin is 40 years old. He is wearing a common black T-shirt and a pair of washed old white jeans. The whole person looks like a middle-aged uncle with hanging silk.
Li Mu also thinks that Andy Rubin looks a bit like jobs, which may have a lot to do with both of them losing their heads and wearing glasses.
Andy Rubin also saw Li Mu for the first time. Although Li Mu was much younger than him, he still respected Li Mu Ge, bowed slightly, shook hands with both hands, and then his hands obviously felt that there was no place to put them, revealing a kind of unwieldy formality everywhere.
Li Mu invited Andy Rubin to sit down and said enthusiastically, ”Mr. Rubin, I heard Larry say that you have a project looking for investment recently?”
Andy Rubin nodded and hurriedly said, ”I didn't expect Mr. Li to take the time to meet me. If you are interested, I can give you a brief account of the project. If you are short of time, I can also talk with the investment department of your company.”
Li Mu said with a smile, ”I'd like to introduce it to you if it's convenient. I'm quite interested.”
Andy Rubin nodded happily and said, ”I'll tell you in detail. It may be a bit lengthy. Mr. Li can tell me which part of the rubbish is more, and I'll adjust it at any time.”
Li Mu smiled: ”don't be so restrained. You can say what you think in your heart.”
“Ok。” Andy Rubin tidied up the language and said: ”let's talk about the background of the project. I want to do this project, in fact, it comes from my personal view of the future mobile phone market. I think mobile phones will become more and more popular in the future, and gradually become an indispensable device in people's life, coupled with the incomparable portability of mobile phones. So, it can be predicted that no People will spend more time using mobile phones every day than computers. ”
Li Mu Tuo nodded his head seriously on his chin and said: ”I fully agree with this point. I not only believe that people will spend more time using mobile phones than computers, but also believe that mobile phones will replace computers more and more, and gradually can do more things that previously needed to be done by computers.”
As soon as Li Mu said this, Andy Rubin said excitedly, ”Mr. Li is right! I have the same opinion with you! I think there are two things people can't do without in the future, one is the Internet, the other is the mobile phone. If the Internet and the mobile phone can't be integrated, then the computer is equal to the Internet. But if one day we connect the mobile phone to the Internet and realize some functions only available on some computers, then the proportion of the computer in people's life will be It's getting lower and lower. It's likely that one day, in addition to large-scale computing and professional software, we will need computers, and other things on the Internet can be solved with mobile phones. ”
”I think the same with you.” ”With the development of hardware, the performance of microprocessors will be stronger and stronger, and the possibility of condensing a computer into a mobile phone will be higher and higher,” Li Mu agreed
Andy Rubin said excitedly, ”I didn't expect Mr. Li to think so! Then my project will be better explained to you. ”
After all, Andy Rubin said with great investment: ”my project, on the whole, is to make the mobile phone more Internet-based. On this premise, the first thing to be solved is the innovation of software and hardware. I will not elaborate on the core hardware. This is not the field my project is going to involve, but there are Qualcomm, arm and Texas The company like instrument is working hard. I believe the hardware doesn't need us to worry more. ”
Speaking of this, Andy Rubin said: ”however, compared with the hardware, I think the bigger problem now is the software, especially the operating system. To make the mobile phone Internet, the biggest core element is to give the mobile phone an advanced mobile operating system, a truly intelligent system.”
Li muxiao looks at him and asks, ”so your entrepreneurial project is to develop a mobile operating system based on mobile devices?”
”Yes!” Andy Rubin nodded seriously and said: ”at present, the existing mobile operating systems are relatively weak. The biggest problem of PalmOS and Symbian is that they can't carry high-performance hardware, just like a five-year-old can't carry high school math problems. Such an operating system will be eliminated in the future, while Microsoft Their biggest enemy is actually their own arrogance. Secondly, they always try to translate windows to mobile devices as much as possible, but ignore mobile device users. What they really need is not an operating system translated from a desktop computer, but an operating system that really meets the needs of mobile users and is customized for mobile. So I think that this time Waiting to cut in is a very good opportunity. ”
Li Mu nodded slightly.
Andy Rubin's comments are consistent with the real development history of mobile devices and the mobile Internet. It can be seen that this man really has a very unique vision and foresight for the mobile Internet. Moreover, after a careful analysis of the time, this man created Android in the second half of this year, probably never found an investor in his last life, and finally cashed some money to do it first.In comparison, Andy Rubin launched the Android project in the second half of 2003, while Apple started the project in the second half of 2005. On the timeline, Apple was two years slower than Android.
Unfortunately, Andy Rubin's Android project didn't get enough funds and overall support at the beginning, but in the form of a small-scale entrepreneurial team, it developed all the way to 2005. When jobs started IOS development and iPhone development, Google acquired Android, which gave Android a rapid development opportunity.
