Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 66 First Meeting in Silicon Valley

At the Apple conference site, Qu Li met Zhou Shaoning, and without saying anything, he gave him a big hug to express his feelings. Regardless of whether it is Zhou Shaoning leading or he leading, the business of making mobile phones has been less than half successful before the start of making mobile phones.

For Qu Li, with the help of Zhou Shaoning and Lin Bing's names, at least he can be recognized by the scientific and technological circles, and those top talents will seriously consider his invitation in the future. So, as long as the news of him joining forces with Zhou Shaoning came out, Qu Li would win.

The venue was very large and could accommodate many people, so Zhang Yiwen went in with him. But his invitation letter was different from others, and he was quickly brought backstage, where he met Qiaoboos, Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, and several unknown bigwigs.

"Hi, hello, you are Qu Li, that talented young man from Zhongguo?" Qiaobusi greeted him enthusiastically.

"I'm Qu Li, but I'm not a genius." Qu Li was very excited when he saw Qiaobusi alive. This is a great man.

"Qu Li is here?" Yang Zhiyuan walked over: "I know him, he is a friend of Ma Yun, the founder of Ari, and he is very optimistic about you."

"Thank you. It is my honor to be recognized by the world's most outstanding technology company and the Internet pioneer." When it was time to say what Qu Li had thought up before, he forgot a lot. Fortunately, he remembered the words of praise. quite a lot

"I saw the smartphone envisioned by Qu Li in the video, and it's surprisingly similar to the iPhone..." Qiaobosi explained to others beside him

"iPhone, isn't it?"

"Didn't you say in the video that you hope Apple will create such a product?" Qiaobosi said with a smile. He thinks Qu Li is a fan of Apple products.

"That's great!" Qu Li seemed to be trembling with excitement, but he didn't think about what to say next. He hasn't seen the IPhone yet, so is he just praising it for its beauty?

"I just thought about it. I didn't expect Apple to be made. Mr. Qiaobosi, you are so great." Qu Li suppressed his nausea and praised

"Come and see, this is the iPhone prototype." Qiaobosi seemed very happy, and handed Qu Li a mobile phone

Seeing the delicate and small mobile phone in front of him, Qu Li was very happy. He pretended not to know him and observed carefully. After waiting for a while, Qiaobusi didn't explain, so he just clicked randomly, and soon unlocked the smart phone. After a while, I started playing.

"Haha, let me say that the iPhone is very easy to use. There is no difficulty in learning at all. Young people can learn it very quickly after holding it in their hands. There is no need for an instruction manual." Qiaobusi waved his hand vigorously and said to a fat man beside him.

"Well, I'm old, so I can't learn as fast as young people." This fat man is the vice president of the largest telecommunications company in the United States.

"IPhone is so perfect, beyond my expectations, I think Apple fans all over the world will scream for it..." Qu Li returned the phone to Qiaobosi after playing for a few minutes

"This mobile phone has not obtained the network access license yet, so I can't give it to you. I will send you one after the product is officially launched." Qiaobusi was very satisfied with Qu Li's performance, and decided to give this fan a bonus

It was only after Qu Li arrived here that he and Zhang Yiwen's air tickets and hotel expenses would be reimbursed by Apple. Although it was a small amount of money, he was still very happy.

"I will go up to give a speech later, and I may have an interaction with you. How about it? Are you interested?"

"Of course, I'm afraid that my English level is not enough and it will affect you."

"Haha, no, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong, but it's a pity that Sun Zhengyi from Softbank didn't come, he and you have the same idea..." Qiaobusi restrained his excitement, so what if the whole world thought of it, But Apple became the first company to actually make a smartphone.

Qu Li and Zhang Yiwen were not the protagonists. Qiaobosi had more important guests, and soon they stood aside. Zhang Yiwen's hands were cold, and he seemed a little nervous. Among the big people in this room, the two were very inconspicuous. Qu Li held Zhang Yiwen tightly, looked at her tenderly, and comforted her silently.

Qu Li looked around for a while, and he also knew Qiaobosi, Yang Zhiyuan, oh, and Google CEO Schmidt, too. Unfortunately, no one introduced him to this boss.

When Schmidt left Qiaoboos and their conversation, Qu Li walked over at the right time.

"Hello, Mr. Schmidt."

"Hello, Mr. Qu."

"I admire Google very much, not only for your achievements, but also for your persistence and corporate culture. I wonder if I have a chance to visit Google's headquarters?"

"Of course, we are always welcome?" Schmidt said that Google has a tradition of opening up to the outside world, but as it grows larger, it has more and more restrictions.

"I don't know if I should go directly, or who do I need to contact first?"

"We have someone who is responsible for the reception, you can go there directly."

"Mr. Schmidt, the operating system of Apple's mobile phone is not open source. I don't think it will be authorized externally. However, Mr. Zhou Shaoning, the recently resigned president of Google, and I want to cooperate to start a business to produce such a mobile phone. I don't know. Does Google have an open source operating system?" Qu Li asked bluntly, there is no way, although it is a bit presumptuous, but you are a small person, it is rare to have the opportunity to meet this level of bigwigs, and if you are conservative, how can you win the opportunity?

"Google has no such plans for now."

"Does Google want to give up the mobile Internet, or does it not see the changes that the IPhone may bring to the world?"

"Maybe, who knows, Google is a really good Internet company."

"Oh, that's a pity. Are you looking for Nokia? Their operating system seems to be open to the outside world. It seems very good to have a search engine embedded in the operating system." Qu Li left regretfully and did not continue talking with Schmidt, but also Didn't bother anyone else.

Soon Qiao Booth was on stage to perform, and they walked out together, and when it was time to go on stage, someone would naturally remind them to be ready.

"First time in Silicon Valley?" Enthusiastic Yang Zhiyuan talked to Qu Li

"Yes, you are not as cold and arrogant as I imagined." Qu Li

"Before we started our business, we were just ordinary people. Many images were given by the media. In fact, we are still ordinary people after leaving the company." Yang Zhiyuan

"But why did you take the initiative to find Schmidt, you knew each other beforehand?"

"I don't know, but I think Google is a very powerful company and I want to visit it"

"Isn't Yahoo great?"

"I also really want to visit, but seeing you chatting happily with Qiaoboos and the others, I later felt that it seemed presumptuous to take the initiative to find someone, so..."

"Technology companies in Silicon Valley don't need to be so particular, but those traditional companies have more rules and don't like to be disturbed by small people. You have done a good job."

"Then can I visit Yahoo?"

"Of course, you should call when the time comes." Yang Zhiyuan left a business card for Qu Li, which didn't seem to be his.
