Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 973 Silicon Valley has changed

The meeting between Zhang Shuxin and Hassabis and the meeting between Sun Xiaojing and Cook are constantly being fermented.

The two parties also experienced more things as a result.

On May 14, Hassabis finally waited for Eric.

But Eric did not come to talk to Hathabis about his meeting with Zhang Shuxin, but invited Hathabis to drink and drink at his own home, recounting the past, and chatting about the past.

Eric didn’t mention it, and Hathabis didn’t take the initiative to mention it, so he accompany him to drink and chat with him, and accompany him to watch the stars and the moon.

It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that Hathabis, who had been drinking too much, went back and had a good night’s sleep, but he was woken up early the next morning.

Of course, it was not an alarm clock or a dream that woke up Hathabis, but Suleiman.

Suleiman knocked on the door at his door while making a phone call. Hassabis came out in a daze in his pajamas and opened the door to Suleiman, “What’s wrong?”

“Two departments have been forcibly merged!”

Hathabis was stunned for a moment, and then directly scolded his mother, “fuck! What do they want to do?!”

“Eric has been in contact with the team below. We think too little about this issue.” Suleiman’s face was obviously regretful.

Hassabis motioned to Suleiman to come in and closed the door, “But why? It is impossible to take away the two teams just by relying on Google’s identity as the parent company.”

“We all judged the situation wrong. We discussed earlier that Google is now in a state of total decline. Obviously, Eric and the others are also very clear about the current situation.

And because there are still some assets that can be sold in Google Singer, everyone will subconsciously think that Google will choose to continue its life and then seek breakthroughs like most companies.

But in fact we all guessed wrong, Google turned directly to Microsoft! ”

Hathabis was stunned again, because this really does not fit the declining routine of a company, “What promise did Microsoft give to Google? Or is there something unknown in it… Although things seem to be developing like this? It’s reasonable, but it just feels weird.”

Suleiman smiled meaningfully, “After Google joins Microsoft, it will start several cooperative projects, and these cooperative projects will be supported by the National Fund. This is also the prerequisite for the two teams to be forcibly merged. .”

Hathabis was completely awake now, “It seems that they have been talking for a while. Eric came to me yesterday, just to confirm some information, even, so that I can stay here well.

I thought…

Forget it, this is the reality of the capital world, I am naive. ”

“I have communicated with the company’s veterans for the first time, and now there is nothing to hesitate.” Suleiman signaled that Hathabis was taking time.

“I’m afraid Zhang Shuxin will take the opportunity to change the negotiation conditions at this time.”

Suleiman shook his head, “You have to talk anyway, or you are willing to accept the new boss of Microsoft.”

Hassabis conceived for a while and called Zhang Shuxin afterwards.

“Does Mr. Hassabis have an answer?” Zhang Shuxin asked first.

“We are willing to accept Mr. Zhang’s terms.”

“Tomorrow morning, come over and talk about the details directly.”

Zhang Shuxin hung up the phone, and Hassabis looked at Suleyman with a dazed expression, “Don’t Zhang Shuxin know what happened today?”

“Impossible, Zhang Shuxin must be staring at the news here, maybe she knows more than us.”

“Then she…”

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and Suleyman suddenly laughed, “Maybe I can really meet a good boss this time.”

…

On the morning of May 15th, Cook was also paying attention to the latest Google news. At 9 o’clock in the morning, the company’s senior meeting talked about the sales of the new mobile phone, word-of-mouth public relations and other issues. Everything seemed calm.

Until the end of the meeting, a shareholder suddenly asked, “Should Apple have some new project plans next? Our current products are becoming less and less competitive.”

Everyone looked at Cook, and Cook slowly said, “Wearable devices are the next trend and our next focus.”

“Wearable devices, Huaxia has brought out several products one after another. Are we a bit too slow?”

“That’s why I have always emphasized that it is very important to establish the marketing stability of existing products. We must ensure sufficient cash flow to accelerate the development of new projects.”

“The problem is that product sales have been declining in the past two years.” This shareholder is still in trouble.

Cook sat up straight and said, “Then you should probably take a look at the situation of other US mobile phone brands in recent years.”

The expressions of the troubled shareholders softened, “I just presented a realistic situation. Of course, Mr. Cook has performed very well, but I hope that under the leadership of Mr. Cook, Apple can compare with Hongmeng Huawei. , Not with Motorola.”

“Of course, this is also my goal.”

“Then look forward to Mr. Cook’s next performance.”

Cook returned to his office calmly, sat in his chair and pondered for a long time, then suddenly logged into an internal account on the computer and retrieved some video information.

In the video, Apple’s chief operating officer Jeff Williams, marketing director Phil Schiller, service business director Eddie Cuy, software director Craig Federigi, chip engineer Johnny Sluigi , Hardware director Dan Riccio and dozens of very prestigious people at Apple have frequently visited various conference rooms for meetings with shareholders in recent times.

Cook watched the full dozens of minutes of the video, his hesitant eyes gradually strengthened, and he asked the assistant to call Williams to his office.

“Are you looking for me?” Williams came over quickly.

“How likely do you think you are to become Apple’s next CEO.”

Cook’s bluntness stunned Williams, and after a quick thought, he decided to say something, “They are just discussing.”

“Sun Xiaojing is indeed a very powerful person.”

Cook’s sudden sigh made Williams puzzled, so he didn’t respond.

“She chose the best time.” Cook slowly got up, “If you have an idea, I can help you.”

“Cook… things are not there yet.”

“Things have reached that point.” Cook walked over to Williams, “I don’t want to be too ugly in the end.”

Williams and Cook looked at each other for a few seconds and asked sincerely, “Will Dafeng Group really reuse you?”

“If that Meng Qian is really the same as we imagined, then he will definitely.”

…

Starting from May 15th, the internal affairs of Google and Apple began to spread out from various trails, and with some deliberate and inadvertent promotion, it caused heated discussions among everyone.

“A subsidiary company will be targeted because of contact with Zhang Shuxin, and a company CEO will be kicked out early because of contact with Sun Xiaojing. What is going on?”

“Is it fear or intimidation behind this? As for the reaction so overwhelming?”

“It’s a bit inexplicable. Silicon Valley has really become more and more unintelligible these years.”

At the beginning, everyone was still talking about the overreaction of the two companies. Slowly, some media began to pick up data about the outflow of talent in the United States in the past five years.

This is divided into two parts. The first part is the outflow of talents from technology companies, and the second part is the outflow of talents from overseas students. Among them, the most serious outflow is the overseas students of Huaxia. In the past, the number of Huaxia Ph. It fell by half directly, and after graduating from Ph.D., Huaxia started to return to China.

On the evening of May 18, Silicon Valley, old friends from several technology companies gathered for a meal.

“In the past two years, more and more people have left Silicon Valley.”

“Why, do you have ideas too?”

“To be honest, there is indeed, especially after the recent incident of Google and Apple, I always feel that Silicon Valley companies have lost even the most basic self-confidence.”

“It’s not just a matter of losing self-confidence, but I can really feel that Silicon Valley has changed.”

“Yesterday, didn’t Apple come out and explain that they had already started internal discussions about the change of CEO has nothing to do with the meeting between Sun Xiaojing and Cook?”

“Who can listen to this explanation? Everyone is not a fool.”

“People’s senior management can still have access to Huaxia Enterprise. We want to go to Huaxia Enterprise. It is difficult to connect. Now the domestic blockade of those technology companies in China is becoming more and more serious.”

“Pop!” Everyone was chatting, and one person suddenly took the scene and shocked everyone.

“What are you doing? Are you sick?”

“No, it’s not.” The man turned his phone to show everyone, “The news just came out!”

Everyone looked closer and couldn’t help but say, “holyshit!”

On the night of May 18, the air in Silicon Valley was not too sweet.

Giant companies are spreading a word: Sun Xiaojing is here!
