Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Zhang Shuxin's meeting with Hashabis and Sun Xiaojing's meeting with Cook are constantly being fermented.

As a result, the two parties experienced more things.

On May 14, Hassabis finally waited for Eric.

But Eric did not come to talk to Hashabis about the meeting between him and Zhang Shuxin, but invited Hashabis to his home for a drink, reminiscing about the past, and chatting about the past.

Eric didn't mention it, and Hassabis didn't take the initiative to mention it, so he drank and chatted with him, watched the stars and the moon with him.

It wasn't until late at night that Hassabis, who was a little too drunk, went back to have a good sleep, but he was woken up early the next morning.

Of course, it wasn't the alarm clock or the dream that woke Hashabis up, but Suleiman.

Suleiman was knocking on the door of his house while making a phone call. Hashabis came out in a daze in his pajamas and opened the door for Suleiman, "What's wrong?"

"Two departments have been forcibly merged!"

Hassabis was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he scolded his mother directly, "fuck! What are they trying to do?!"

"Eric has been in touch with the team below. It's because we haven't thought too much about this issue." Suleiman's face was obviously remorseful.

Hashabis signaled Suleiman to come in and closed the door, "But why? It's impossible to pull away two teams just by relying on Google's status as the parent company."

"We all misjudged the situation. We discussed before that Google is in a state of overall decline. Obviously, Eric and the others are also very aware of the current situation.

And because Google still has some assets that can be sold, everyone will subconsciously think that Google, like most companies, will choose to continue its life before seeking a breakthrough.

But in fact we all guessed wrong, Google went directly to Microsoft! "

Hashabis was stunned again, because this really didn't fit the routine of a company's gradual decline, "What promise did Microsoft make to Google? Or is there something unknown in it? Although things seem to be developing in this way, it seems reasonable. , but it just feels weird.”

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

Hassabis 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 already communicated with the company's veterans at the first time, and there is nothing to hesitate now." Suleiman signaled Hashabis to rush for time.

"I'm afraid that Zhang Shuxin will take the opportunity to change the terms of the negotiation at this time."

Suleiman shook his head, "We have to talk anyway, or you are willing to accept Microsoft as the new boss."

After contemplating the negotiation for a while, Hashabis called Zhang Shuxin.

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

"We are willing to accept Mr. Zhang's conditions."

"Tomorrow morning, come over and discuss the details directly."

Zhang Shuxin hung up the phone, and Hashabis looked at Suleiman in a daze, "Don't Zhang Shuxin know what happened today?"

"Impossible, Zhang Shuxin must be watching the news here, maybe she knows more than us."

"Then she"

The two stared at each other in silence for a while, Suleiman suddenly laughed, "Maybe this time I can really meet a good boss."

On the morning of May 15th, Cook was also paying attention to the latest news from Google. At 9:00 am, the company’s top executives met and talked about the sales of new mobile phones, word-of-mouth public relations and other issues. Everything seemed calm.

Until the end of the meeting, some shareholders suddenly asked, "Should Apple have some new project plans in the future? Our current products are becoming less and less competitive."

Everyone looked at Cook, and Cook said slowly, "Wearable devices are the next trend, and they are also our next focus."

"Wearable devices, Huaxia has produced several products one after another. Are we moving too slowly?"

"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."

"But the problem is that the sales of products have been going downhill in the past two years." It was still the shareholder who made the attack.

Cook sat up straight and said, "Then maybe you should take a look at the situation of other mobile phone brands in the United States in recent years."

The angry shareholder's expression softened, "I just put forward 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. , rather than comparing with Motorola."

"Of course, that's my goal too."

"Then look forward to Mr. Cook's next performance."

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

In the video, Apple COO Jeff Williams, marketing chief Phil Schiller, services business chief Eddie Cue, software chief Craig Federighi, and chip engineer Johnny Srouji Dozens of people who are very prestigious at Apple, including hardware director Dan Riccio, have been frequently going in and out of various conference rooms to hold talks with shareholders recently.

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

"You looking for me?" Williams came over quickly.

"How likely do you think you are to be Apple's next CEO?"

Williams was stunned by Cook's frankness, and after quick thinking, he decided to speak up, "They were just discussing."

"Sun Xiaojing is indeed a very powerful person."

Williams was puzzled by Cook's sudden exclamation, 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 haven't reached that point yet."

"Things have come to that point." Cook walked to Williams' side, "I don't want to end up being too ugly."

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

"If that Meng Qian is really what we imagined, then he will."

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

"A subsidiary company will be targeted because of contact with Zhang Shuxin, and a corporate CEO will be kicked out early because of contact with Sun Xiaojing. What's going on?"

"Is it fear or intimidation behind this? As for the overreaction?"

"It's somewhat inexplicable. Silicon Valley has really become more and more incomprehensible over the years."

At the beginning, everyone was still talking about the overreaction of the two companies. Slowly, some media began to pick up a piece of data, which is the problem of brain drain in the United States in the past five years.

There are two parts here. The first part is about the talent outflow of technology companies, and the second part is about the talent outflow of international students. Among them, the most serious outflow is the Chinese students. In the past, there were the most Huaxia doctors in Mi. In the past five years It fell by half directly, and Huaxia began to return to China after graduating with a Ph.D.

On May 18, in the evening in Silicon Valley, old friends from several technology companies gathered for dinner.

"In the past two years, more and more people around me have left Silicon Valley."

"Why, do you have an idea too?"

"To be honest, there are indeed, especially after the recent incidents of Google and Apple, I always feel that companies in Silicon Valley have lost even the most basic confidence."

"It's not just a matter of losing self-confidence, I can really feel that Silicon Valley has changed."

"Didn't Apple come out yesterday to explain that they have already started internal discussions about changing the CEO, and it has nothing to do with the meeting between Sun Xiaojing and Cook?"

"Who can listen to this kind of explanation? Everyone is not a fool."

"The high-level executives can still get in touch with Huaxia companies. We want to go to Huaxia companies now, but it is difficult to connect. Now the domestic blockade of Huaxia's technology companies is getting more and more serious."

"Crack!" While everyone was chatting, one person suddenly jumped up, shocking everyone.

"What are you doing? Are you sick?"

"No, no." The man turned the phone around to show everyone, "News just came out!"

Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help saying, "Holy shit!"

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!
