Vol 5 Chapter 1213: On gambling

On a lawn in Cupertino, Feng Yiping and Page stopped again.

Feng Yiping walked to Peppa, "Aren't you in a hurry to go back to the company?

"Sit," Page this time invited Feng Yiping to sit down.

Feng Yiping looked at the phone, and there was still no news there. This shows that there is still no result for the time being, that is, the negotiation is still going on.

Page did not speak, closed his eyes and raised his face, as if feeling the breath of spring.

It can be seen that he has not been so relaxed for a long time.

"I will go on vacation when I finish this matter, do you want to go together?" Feng Yiping touched him.

"Where? The Caribbean or the Mediterranean?" Page still knew him, what he liked.

First of all, the first point is that the destination must be warm. He is mostly not interested in places like the South Pole or the North Pole.

"Good guess, but this time, I don’t want to go to the sea. Tuscany in Italy or Burgundy in France is good. Did you know that if you want to feel the breath of spring more deeply, you have to go deep into agriculture? Developed areas,"

"Don't believe me, your purpose is definitely not that simple," said Peppa, who still closed his eyes.

Where are there areas with developed agriculture? Need to go to those two places?

"What's the purpose of vacation?" Feng Yiping smiled.

"Not at all convincing, just like the words you just said," he opened his eyes. "Do you really think that there will be very fierce competition between us and Apple in the future?"

"Don't deny it, Steve and I can both feel your anxiety,"

Feng Yiping was very pleased. Page was talking about "between us and Apple." This is why he has subconsciously been in the same camp with Feng Yiping.

You know, at present, it seems that the two of them and Apple do not have any competition, but Google and Feng Yiping's company already have a lot of competition.

Peppa's meaning is to treat these competitions as contradictions among the people.

This is enough to show that Feng Yiping's feelings are right. With regard to some questions, Peppa and Brin are in sync with themselves, at least, in the same direction.

It's no wonder he just blurted out such things in front of Jobs.

The issue discussed with Huang Jingping is whether it can retire at the age of 30 or 35 in the future. Judging from this trend, it is really not a luxury.

Feng Yiping patted him on the shoulder, "Do you think that Jobs mentioned that there will be a specific cooperation plan next year. What will it be?"

"Although I don't know how he will cooperate with us, but he certainly cannot do without searching," Page said without thinking.

Although Apple claims to be the company with the best combination of software and hardware, from the beginning, they have done better, obviously in the hardware sector, while Google is naturally software, especially search technology.

Whenever Apple talks about cooperation, the search will definitely not run.

"Maybe, it will also include the map business," Page said, "but I don't see a sign of what you said about the fierce competition with Apple."

"You see, in recent years, many companies in Silicon Valley have invested a lot of resources and have very high expectations in the field, cloud computing, and Apple so far, there has been no movement."

Page is telling the truth. Compared with its size and its hardware success, Apple has become unknown in the field of cloud computing.

"You know, the thing that Jobs dislikes the most is to follow suit, which seems to be me, oh no, I seem to be a bit like him in this point,"

"The thing he likes to do most is to create demand. It can also be said to create a blue ocean."

"So, you said, how can we compete with Apple? You also said that Jobs likes to create a new blue ocean," Page said.

He didn't quite understand why Feng Yiping added a new word in front of Blue Ocean. Since it is Blue Ocean, isn't it all new?

In any case, since it is a blue ocean, it is naturally not a field that is already hot. In that case, where is the competition?

"A long time ago, we discussed the issue of software and hardware. Do you remember the conclusion at that time?" Feng Yiping said.

"How to really combine software and hardware perfectly and match them together is naturally an ideal result. It should be this conclusion. I remember correctly, right," Page said.

"Of course you remembered correctly," Feng Yiping nodded, "We all know that Apple's biggest advantage at the moment is its preference for hardware, and whether it is Google or my NEXTDOOR, it is mainly software."

"I don't see the need for hardware," Page said.

That's because you don't know how big a market has been created after the iPhone came out.

"According to our Chinese philosophy, everything is a harmonious unity, seemingly opposite, but actually transforming each other, Tai Chi, you also know something, right, the end of yin is yang,"

Page frowned and looked at Feng Yiping.

Although he still didn't quite understand the truths Feng Yiping said, he knew one thing. Since Feng Yiping would say so, then, in the future, this problem might really be very serious.

"Similarly, software and hardware are the same." Fortunately, Feng Yiping did not continue to discuss ancient Chinese philosophy with him.

"When we achieve the ultimate in the software field, will we be dissatisfied with the hardware carriers provided on the market, and then we will have the idea of ​​tailoring the hardware system? Do you think it is possible?"

"The reverse is also true. If Apple has achieved a high level of hardware, will it consider further improving its software system?"

Page was meditating, this trend is really possible.

"Or, we can put it another way, that is, one day, when we have achieved the largest share of Google in the search field and in the field of online advertising, what result will this lead to? We know that after the peak, Even if it is not a trough, from a financial point of view, an evaluation of weak growth is definitely inevitable, right?"

"Then you said, by then, will we think of a way from the hardware side, hoping to make the hardware business a growth point for our performance?"

Page immediately understood this statement, "There is such a possibility,"

"The same is true. Hardware innovation has limitations. When Apple reaches a certain level in hardware, there will be weak growth. I think at that time, they will definitely find ways in software, search, estimate I can't do it, but a map is possible,"

"I believe that by then, they will also work in areas where online payment and cloud computing have not invested much resources before,"

Feng Yiping knew that he was not stating a possibility, but a fact.

Later, Google and Apple, both of which had weak growth, did just that.

Google’s revenue growth in online advertising is difficult, and it is also facing fierce competition from rising stars such as Facebook. It has also set foot in the manufacture of mobile phones and laptops, as well as other smart hardware.

By the way, even the most veritable software tycoon of all time, Microsoft has spent money in the hardware field.

As for Apple, as the follow-up iPhone is becoming less and less innovative, it can only eat Jobs's roots, and the competition is getting stronger and stronger, naturally increasing its investment in software...

"I still have that opinion. In the future, successful high-tech companies must have made good achievements in software and hardware. If we do not develop hardware, Apple does not increase investment in related software, and it will definitely be quickly competed. The opponent surpasses,"

"It sounds like you really make sense," Peppa leaned back on the bench.

Before today, I still felt that I might never get involved in hardware manufacturing. Listening to Feng Yiping's words, it is the best to be prepared now?

He looked at the playful children on the lawn, "The reason why you choose to talk about this now, is it Jobs's body...?"

"There are factors in this aspect. Of course, Jobs's body, I think, should not be as bad as you think now,"

"There are other reasons~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I am also a little confused now..."

He is actually very accurate.

If Google and Apple compete, it may be later, but their own competition with Apple, after Jobs released the iPhone, and Rubin's Android, will definitely quickly heat up.

Page patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, if there is such a day, I think Jobs will carefully consider what you said today."

"Also, you know, between us, that situation won't happen,"

…………

Jobs, who had sent Feng Yiping and Page away, did not rush to work at this time.

He was also thinking about Feng Yiping's words.

He could also see that the examples Feng Yiping gave were a bit far-fetched, but he could deeply feel that Feng Yiping cherishes the current situation and the relationship between everyone.

He could also feel that Feng Yiping's respect for himself, although part of that respect might be based on his age.

But from the bottom of my heart, Jobs himself also cherishes a small partner like Feng Yiping.

Not only is his personality somewhat congenial to him, but the key is to be consistent in his views on many issues. In other words, his views on some issues are even more precise and unique than his own. Such a small partner is especially rare.

Could it be that it would lead to something against his goal? Is it really possible in the future?

Jobs couldn't think of the result.

But Feng Yiping's efforts today are in his heart.

…………

On the other hand, when he was about to reach Google, Feng Yiping received a call from Cummins, “Feng, we should have got the last offer from eBay. The offer is good, but their offer includes a gambling agreement.”
