Chapter 336 Google surrenders! Microsoft is grateful!
"Thank you for your hard work, baby!" Lin Xiao said softly, "However, Mom won't be able to sit on the Health Committee for long, and Dad will have to stay alone for a long time again."
Because once Shu Wan gets the news, she will probably fly to the United States immediately to take care of Lian Yi.
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lian Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It's better not to let her come yet. The handsome old man is quite pitiful." Lian Yi said in a tender voice: "It's better to wait until you go home for the New Year and then tell them."
"Are you having a celebration banquet?" Lian Yi asked.
Lin Xiao said: "Yes."
Lian Yi: "Then you go ahead and get busy."
Lin Xiao: "After I finish here, I will go home immediately."
Lian Yi: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao raised his head and immediately met Wu Lingxi's beautiful eyes.
"There's good news. Why are you so happy?" Wu Lingxi said.
Lin Xiao: “Yeah…”
Just as he was about to speak, Wu Lingxi suddenly said, "I know what the good news is? Have you told Uncle Lian and Auntie? If not, don't tell me, they should know it first."
Lin Xiao couldn't help but be surprised: "When did you become so considerate?"
Wu Lingxi has always been cold-blooded and ruthless, how could she care so much?
"When you fall in love with someone." Wu Lingxi rolled her eyes at him, then turned around and left proudly, so as to prevent anyone from being too proud and leaving Lin Xiao with a beautiful view of her waist and hips from behind.
Next, under the leadership of Masayoshi Son, Lin Xiao went to greet the capital tycoons one by one.
All those attending this celebration party today are beneficiaries of Facebook's listing.
And the most honorable one among them is Bill Gates.
Not only does Microsoft own shares in Facebook, he also personally acquired some shares of Facebook through various channels.
"Congratulations, young Lin." Bill Gates said with a smile, "When I was your age, my wealth was less than a few tenths of yours."
Lin Xiao: "While I am happy, I feel like I am walking on thin ice..."
He used a tread as if on thin ice, rather than walk on the eggshells.
Bill Gates patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said, "I understand you. You have two powerful tools, Facebook and YouTube. This is not just capital, but also a weapon."
"So next you might need to dance on a few eggs."
Lin Xiao: "Mr. Gates, do you have anything to teach me?"
Bill Gates thought for a while and said, "Keep adding chips, keep adding friends."
Lin Xiao said: "I will continue to work hard on these two points."
And then, suddenly a familiar figure entered the two people's field of vision.
Huh? This face looks so familiar, and this messy hair looks so familiar.
Of course, this special tone is also very familiar.
Mr. Te?!
This gentleman is also at this celebration party?
However, at this time, his weight and the total value of his wealth were not particularly high.
For a moment, Lin Xiao even thought about doing what Lu Buwei did, which was a rare commodity.
However, the thought was completely extinguished before it even arose.
At his level, it is difficult to completely avoid politics, but one should not be too proactive, and certainly not rashly enter any vortex, especially when in an unstable state.
Mr. Gates obviously looked down on the other party and had a rather cold attitude.
However, Lin Xiao appeared very humble and did not neglect Gates just because he was the world's richest man and a leader in technology.
Lin Xiao even listened carefully to the other party's high-profile words.
Wu Lingxi, who had been paying attention to Lin Xiao, came up immediately and started chatting enthusiastically with Bill Gates.
It directly resolved the embarrassment caused by a certain gentleman's high-profile and outgoing attitude.
………………………………
The celebration banquet lasted until about half past eleven.
Then, there are small circle gatherings.
Sony, Facebook, YouTube, Jerry Yang, Masayoshi Son, etc.
This has become a core interest group.
Son Masayoshi laughed and said, “Are we a yellow boy group?”
As a result, Amy Pascal, who was chatting with Wu Lingxi, said, "Hey, be careful with your words, there are two ladies here, bad boys."
Kazuo Hirai said: "We are already the closest allies. In the future, we must advance and retreat together at any time to withstand the storms of this world."
Lin Xiao: "Cheers to Storm."
"Unfortunately, our group is not strong enough." Yang Zhiyuan sighed.
In other words, only when you are familiar with each other to a certain extent and have a good relationship to a certain extent will you express such feelings.
Masayoshi Son: “It still takes time and effort to be able to play together.”
It's more about common interests.
In fact, the Chinese community in the United States is quite strong. Nvidia is now quite strong, and even in the U.S. political circle, there are some influential Chinese.
But... this kind of thing cannot be forced.
It takes a long time and great common interests to bind people into a group.
"The Dolan family and the CBS system are still relatively positive," said Masayoshi Son.
Now the entire interest group here is like a big ship. As these industries grow bigger and bigger, those who get on board will be able to share huge wealth in the future.
Then every ticket will be very valuable.
Perhaps to others, everything seems calm at this time.
But Lin Xiao knew that within a few years, the storm would become more and more violent.
So the ship must be strong enough to withstand severe storms.
Everyone who receives a ticket must find a way to protect the ship, either openly or secretly.
……………………
Until four o'clock in the morning.
Wu Lingxi was still riding Lin Xiao.
"At today's celebration banquet, many people asked me directly about my position." Wu Lingxi whispered in Lin Xiao's ear.
Lin Xiao asked: "The two parties?"
Wu Lingxi said: "That's right."
Lin Xiao was silent for a long time. This was indeed a huge and difficult problem.
At this level, it's almost impossible for you to completely not take sides.
But a clear stance is dangerous.
This problem seems almost unsolvable.
"Deepen personal friendships and dilute your stance." Lin Xiao said, "Just make friends and don't care about the other party's faction."
Although this is not a particularly good solution, it is considered a good solution in this country.
There is a saying that goes, people come here for profit and people go there for profit.
No matter what these people's positions are, they are ultimately serving their own interests and the interests of their families.
In his own country, Lin Xiao's position is extremely clear and known to everyone.
But here, the goal is to be as vague as possible and desperately weave a network of personal interests.
"Okay, let's not talk about these disappointing things." Wu Lingxi said softly: "There is indeed a problem in front of us now. How can I have a child?"
"I'm in the spotlight so much that I can't stop myself from getting pregnant."
"It's not even enough to have one child. You need to have at least several children, because the chances of them being particularly successful are low. You might even have to raise a Gu."
Lin Xiao patted her buttocks and said, "Shut up."
Wu Lingxi: "I can tell from the fact that you have never been whipped by the whip of capitalism and are still full of illusions in this regard."
"However, letting Xia Xi help us have a baby is a really good choice."
"Because no one would think that you and Xia Xi are having an affair, especially Little Waterdrop and Bubble."
"Besides, she and you have a sibling relationship that cannot be crossed, but having a child is something that should at least give her a sense of involvement."
Lin Xiao was speechless. What a sense of participation.
But these sisters really can do anything.
They had even discussed it many times, and Xia Xi was even very interested in this proposal.
So next, Lin Xiao pretended to be dead the whole time.
"I'm telling you, don't be affected by the climate in your country. Family is still very important." Wu Lingxi said, "Especially the inheritance of power and capital, it must be passed down as much as possible."
"I don't care what you think. I will go in this direction anyway. No one can stop me, not even you."
"Furthermore, once our children are born, we can train them secretly and let them take over secretly. We now have enough capabilities to hide them."
"If you want to be selfless, that's your business. I definitely can't do that. Not only do I want them to be hereditary, I also have to find a way to put my eggs in different baskets."
Lin Xiao still didn't speak.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. You've become soft-hearted after saying this..." Wu Lingxi said.
She held Lin Xiao's face and started the same process again.
"Say you love me!"
"Say you love me the most."
"Say you love me more than Bubble and Lian Yi!"
………………………………
Since November, Microsoft's promotion of smartphones has been in full swing.
The press conference on November 29th started warming up long in advance.
Countless celebrities promoted it.
Moreover, this press conference will not only release the flagship phone produced by Motorola, but also HTC, LG, and Samsung will successively release Windows Mobile 7 phones, including not only flagship phones but also mid- and low-end phones.
A giant is a giant after all, and it gained support from other international mobile phone manufacturers as soon as it entered the market.
He is nothing like Lin Xiao, who had to work very hard to deal with LG.
As for Sony Ericsson, the chairman of the group was even driven out of office, and Sony acquired all of Sony Ericsson before preparing to launch mobile phones equipped with the X system.
And after this series of troubles, Sony Ericsson's mobile phone shipments in 2010 were less than 40 million, and it had long fallen out of the top few rankings.
After Microsoft completely entered the market, the top mobile phone giants immediately started cheering.
With one mobile phone giant after another making statements, Microsoft seems to be coming on more aggressively.
Wait until all these giants have expressed their opinions.
Nokia also spoke out.
Nokia announced that it will release a mobile phone equipped with Windows Mobile 7 next year.
Seeing the statements from these mobile phone giants, Lin Xiao could only sigh deeply: Awesome!
Nokia is mainly promoting its own operating system Symbian and doesn't care about Android at all, but it has also expressed its intention to support Windows Mobile 7.
Moreover, no one knows how many times Quantum Technology has sent people to negotiate, and even Lin Xiao himself has been there a few times, but Nokia's response is absolutely cold.
As a result, as soon as Microsoft made a move, Nokia also invested.
It can be said that the top five mobile phone giants in the world all support Microsoft.
No wonder Microsoft is full of pride and confidence, thinking that as long as it enters the smartphone market, it can at least occupy one-third of the market, or even a larger share.
But...
As Microsoft's promotion is in full swing, quantum phones have not made any progress yet, but Google's stock price has fallen again.
All the critics, all the tech media agree.
Microsoft has completely entered the field of smartphones. The biggest damage has been suffered by Android, followed by quantum technology, and finally Apple.
With the advent of the wave of smartphones, even if quantum technology and Apple will be affected, the overall number of users may continue to rise.
On the contrary, user loss on the Android side will accelerate.
Because many heavyweight apps in the global smartphone application ecosystem fully support X operating system, IOS, and Windows Mobile 7.
Only Android is banned.
……………………
Lin Xiao was very surprised to receive a call from Google Chairman Schmidt.
He is no longer the CEO, having officially handed over the position to Larry Page this year.
"Can we meet again?" Schmidt asked.
Lin Xiao said: "Of course, it is difficult for me to refuse your invitation, but you should not have too high expectations for the meeting."
Next, the two met again in a familiar tavern.
Schmidt: "Lin, I don't understand why they are so targeting Android but so indulgent towards Windows Mobile? This is more than just nurturing a tiger to cause trouble."
Lin Xiao: "Do we have to talk about this?"
Schmidt said: "I know there are many differences between us, and they are almost impossible to resolve. So I won't talk about the merger of Android and X systems. I believe you will definitely not agree."
"How about this? You open up your entire software ecosystem to support Android."
"In exchange, we allow you to sell some of your Google shares and allow you to send one person to Google's board of directors."
Lin Xiao understood the meaning immediately.
When another enemy appears, the other two enemies may not be unable to cooperate.
Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Han and Sun Wu generally joined forces to fight against Cao, but when necessary, Cao Wei and Eastern Wu would briefly join forces to trick Shu Han.
And in Schmidt's view, the situation is changing dynamically.
In the future, Microsoft may become your biggest enemy in quantum technology on mobile phone operating systems.
Lin Xiao was silent for a long time, then said, "Sorry, Eric."
Eric Schmidt looked at Lin Xiao for a long time and said, "I can understand your desire to completely defeat Android, but I really cannot understand why you treat Microsoft like this. I know that you rejected some of Mr. Gates' invitations, which means that you are not very eager to join a certain interest group. But you turned a blind eye to Microsoft's huge threat and stranglehold, and instead kept showing goodwill and even aiding the enemy."
Lin Xiao: "Eric, you are one of my idols, so please don't doubt my sincerity in wanting to develop a personal friendship with you. I can even help with other major matters. I can at least ease the huge conflict between you and a certain party. But regarding the attitudes of Android and Microsoft, our previous strategic decision will not change for quite some time."
Then, the two people still parted unhappily.
After the two people separated, Lin Xiao almost immediately received a call from Microsoft CEO Ballmer.
"Hey, any news?"
Lin Xiao: "No, everything is the same as before."
Then, news leaked out that the chairman of Google approached Lin Xiao to make peace and was willing to sell Lin Xiao a portion of Google shares in exchange for the opening of many ecosystem applications to the Android system. He also asked Lin Xiao to temporarily suspend support for Microsoft's mobile operating system.
Google has shown a certain sincerity in wanting to combine quantum technology to fight against the aggressive Microsoft, or at least to work together to nip Microsoft's smartphone operating system in the bud.
However, Lin Xiao refused.
Lin Xiao decided to continue his friendship with Microsoft.
He also once again stated that the entire ecosystem of applications will continue to support Microsoft's mobile operating system, and this will not change in the next few years, even though Microsoft's smartphone operating system may become the biggest competitor of X operating system.
Immediately afterwards, the chairman of Facebook, the chairman of YouTube, and others announced once again that they would attend Microsoft's press conference at the end of November.
For this reason, Microsoft CEO Ballmer called again and said: "Lin, your friendship is really precious. I really didn't expect that you would pay such a high price and sacrifice such a great interest for our friendship. I will definitely cherish it. Thank you!"

Note: I have finished the work and would like to ask for monthly tickets. Thank you all.
