Chapter 66 First acquaintance in Silicon Valley

At the Apple press conference, Qu Li met Zhou Shaoning and gave him a big hug without saying anything to express his feelings. Whether it was Zhou Shaoning who took the lead or he took the lead, half of the work on making a mobile phone was successful before he even started.

For Qu Li, using the names of Zhou Shaoning and Lin Bing can at least make him recognized as a figure in the technology circle, and those top talents will seriously consider his invitation in the future. Therefore, as long as the news of his teaming up with Zhou Shaoning comes out,

Qu Li won.

The venue was 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 taken backstage to meet Qiao Booth and Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan.

, and a few big guys I don’t know.

"Hi, hello, are you Qu Li, the talented boy from Zhongguo?" Qiaobusi greeted him enthusiastically.

"I am Qu Li, but I am not a genius." Qu Li was very excited to see Qiaobusi alive. He was an amazing big man.

"Qu Li is here?" Yang Zhiyuan came over: "I know he is a friend of Ali's founder Ma Yun, and he is very optimistic about you."

"Thank you. It's an honor for me to be recognized by the world's best technology companies and pioneers of the Internet." When it came time to actually say what he had thought about before, Qu Li forgot a lot. Fortunately, he remembered the words of praise.

Quite a few

"I saw the smartphone envisioned by Qu Li in the video, and it is surprisingly similar to the IPhone..." Qiaobusi explained to others next to him.

"iPhone, right?"

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

"That's great!" Qu Li seemed to be trembling with excitement. In fact, he had not thought about what to say next. He hadn't seen the iPhone yet, so could he praise it for its beauty?

"I was just thinking about it. I didn't expect Apple to actually be made. Mr. Bridges, you are so great." Qu Li suppressed his nausea and boasted.

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

Looking at the exquisite and compact mobile phone in front of him, Qu Li was very happy. He pretended not to recognize it and observed it carefully. After a while, Qiaobusi didn't explain, so he pressed randomly and quickly unlocked the smartphone. Unexpectedly,

After a while, we started playing.

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

"Well, I'm old and 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.

"The iPhone is so perfect, beyond my expectations. I think Apple fans around the world will scream for it..." Qu Li played with the phone for a few minutes before returning it to Qiaobusi.

"This phone has not yet obtained network access permission, so I cannot 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 benefit.

Qu Li didn't know until he arrived here that Apple would reimburse him and Zhang Yiwen's air tickets and hotel expenses. Although it was a small amount of money, he was still very happy.

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

"Of course, I am afraid that my English is not good enough and it will affect you."

"Haha, no, it doesn't matter if I'm wrong. It's a pity that Son Zhengyi from SoftBank didn't come. He and you both have the same idea..." Bridges restrained his excitement, so what if the whole world thought of it,

But Apple became the first company to actually create a smartphone.

Qu Li and Zhang Yiwen were not the protagonists. Qiaobusi had a more important guest. They quickly stood aside. Zhang Yiwen's hands were cold and she seemed a little nervous. Among the big shots in this room, the two of them stood aside.

Very inconspicuously, Qu Li held Zhang Yiwen tightly, looked at her tenderly, and comforted her silently.

Qu Li looked around and found out that he knew Qiaobusi, Yang Zhiyuan, and, oh, there seemed to be Google CEO Schmidt. Unfortunately, no one introduced him to this big boss.

When Schmidt left Bridgebus and their conversation, Qu Li saw the opportunity and walked over.

"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 will have the opportunity to visit Google headquarters?"

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

"I don't know if I should go directly or should I contact someone first?"

"We have people who are responsible for reception. You can go directly."

"Mr. Schmidt, the operating system of Apple's mobile phone is not open source, and I don't think it will be licensed to others. But Mr. Zhou Shaoning, the recently resigned president of Google's Central Area, 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 directly, there is no way. Although it is a bit presumptuous, it is rare for you, a small person, to have the opportunity to contact such a big boss. If you are conservative, how can you get the opportunity?

"Google has no such plans for the time being."

“Does Google want to give up on the mobile Internet, or does it mean that it can’t see the changes that the iPhone can bring to the world?”

"Maybe, who knows, Google is a very 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 good to embed search engines into the operating system." Qu Li left regretfully and did not continue talking to Schmidt, but he also

Didn't bother anyone else.

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

"First time coming to Silicon Valley?" The enthusiastic Yang Zhiyuan approached Qu Li to talk.

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

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

"But why would you take the initiative to find Schmidt? You two knew him beforehand?"

“I don’t know it, but I think Google is a very powerful company and I want to visit it.”

“Isn’t Yahoo great?”

"I also wanted to visit, but after seeing you chatting happily with Bridges and the others, I 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 will have more rules and won't like the interruption of little people. You did a good job."

“Then can I visit Yahoo?”

"Of course, you can make this call when the time comes." Yang Zhiyuan left a business card for Qu Li, but it didn't seem to be his.
