Andy Rubin came to Muye Science and Technology with an excited and disturbed heart, and explained to the reception desk of the lobby that Li Ziwei immediately came out to greet him and took him to the Li Mu's office.

This is the first time Li Mu has seen Andy Rubin, and at this time, Andy Rubin is forty years old, wearing an ordinary black T-shirt and a washed and whitish shabby In jeans, the whole person looks like a middle-aged uncle with hanging silk.

Li Mu also thinks that Andy Rubin looks a bit like Steve Jobs, and may have a lot to do with both of them defeating and wearing glasses.

Andy Rubin also saw Li Mu for the first time. Although Li Mu is much younger than him, he still respects Li Mu very much, bows slightly, shakes his hands, and then obviously feels that there is nowhere to put his hands. An overwhelming restraint.

Li Mu invited Andy Rubin to sit down and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Rubin, I heard Larry say that you have a project looking for investment recently?"

Andy Rubin nodded and said: "True didn't expect Mr. Li can take the time to see me. If you are interested, I can roughly describe the project with you. If you have a tight time, I can also Chat with people in your company ’s investment department. "

Li Mu laughed and said: "If it is convenient, just tell me about it. I'm quite interested."

Andy Rubin nodded happily and said, "Then I will tell you in detail. It may be a bit lengthy. If Mr. Li thinks there is more nonsense, you can tell me directly and I can adjust it at any time."

Li Mu smiled slightly: "No need to be so constrained, just say what you think."

"Ok." Andy Rubin sorted out the language and said: "Let me talk about the background of the project first. I want to do this project. In fact, it comes from my personal view of the future mobile phone market. I think Mobile phones will definitely become more and more popular in the future, and will gradually become an indispensable device in people's lives, coupled with the unparalleled portability of mobile phones, so it is foreseeable that people will use mobile phones every day in the future, and they will definitely exceed computers. . "

Li Mu nodded seriously with his chin on his face and said, "I fully agree with this, and not only do I believe that people will use mobile phones longer than computers, I also believe that mobile phones will increasingly replace computers To gradually do more things that used to depend on computers to do things. "

As soon as Li Mu came out, Andy Rubin said excitedly: "Mr. Li is right! I have the same opinion as you! I think there are two things people ca n’t live without in the future. It is internet, and the other is a mobile phone. If internet and mobile phone cannot be integrated, then the computer is equal to internet, but if one day, we let the mobile phone connect to internet, and at the same time realize a considerable part of the functions of the computer, then the computer is in The proportion of people's lives will become lower and lower. It is very likely that in a future day, we need a computer in addition to large-scale computing and professional software. We can use mobile phones to solve other things on internet. . "

"I have the same view as you." Li Mu agreed: "With the development of hardware, the performance of microprocessors will become stronger and stronger, and it is possible to condense a computer to a mobile phone. Sex will become higher and higher. "

Andy Rubin said excitedly: "True didn't expect Mr. Li thinks so too! Then my project will explain to you better."

Finally, Andy Rubin swept away the previous embarrassment and said with great dedication: "My project as a whole is to make the mobile phone more internet-oriented. The first thing to be solved under this premise is For the innovation of software and hardware, I will not repeat the details of the core hardware. This is not the field that my project is going to involve. However, companies such as Qualcomm, ARM and Texas Instruments are working hard. I believe that the hardware must not be needed. How worried are we. "

Speaking of this, Andy Rubin turned around and said: "However, compared to hardware, I think the bigger problem now is the software, especially the operation of system, I want to make the phone internet, the biggest core The key element is to give the phone a set of advanced mobile operations system and a set of truly intelligent system. "

Li Mu laughed at looks at, and asked: "Then your entrepreneurial project, you want to develop a set of mobile operation system based on mobile devices?"

"Yes!" Andy Rubin nodded seriously, and said: "At present, the existing mobile operation system is relatively tasteless. The biggest problem of PalmOS and Saipan is that it cannot be equipped with high-performance hardware. A five-year-old child ca n’t carry the same high school math problem. Such an operation system will be eliminated in the future, and Microsoft ... their biggest enemy is actually their own arrogance, and secondly, they always want to pan Windows as much as possible. I came to the mobile device, but ignored the mobile device users. What I really need is not an operation system that translates from a desktop computer, but an operation that truly meets the needs of mobile users and is tailored for mobile. system, so I I feel that it is a very good opportunity to cut in at this time. "

Li Mu nodded slightly.

Andy Rubin ’s series of remarks are in line with the real development history of mobile devices and mobile internet. It can be seen that this person does have a very unique vision and forward-looking for mobile internet, and, carefully analyze the time, this brothers is Android was created in the second half of this year. previous life probably hasn't found an investor, and finally redeemed some money to do it first.

In comparison, Andy Rubin started the Android project in the second half of 2003, and Apple started the project in the second half of 2005. On the timeline, Apple is two years slower than Android.

Unfortunately, Andy Rubin ’s Android project did not receive sufficient funds and overall support from the beginning, but in the form of a small-scale entrepreneurial team, it developed all the way to 2005 and started IOS in Jobs. When developing and iPhone R & D, Google acquired Android, which gave Android the opportunity for rapid development.

In this way, Android has actually lost the most precious vacuum period of two years. If it has the opportunity to develop at the beginning, it is not possible to say that it will completely crush Apple, but at least it will have a huge impact and impact on the future of AppleiPhone. .

And now, I have the opportunity to receive Andy Rubin under the Muye Science and Technology, or directly become an angel investor in Android from the very beginning, which is a great entry point for Li Mu. Wan Bu said that even if his own acquisition of Apple did not succeed in the end, the Android project that was started first could greatly lock the future development of Apple.

So, Li Mu asked Andy Rubin with great interest: "Andy, IMHO, you are a visionary and powerful professional, and a promising project person in charge, but I take A friend's identity asks you a question. "

Andy Rubin hastily sits upright and listens.

Li Mu paused before asking him: "Do you think you can be a CEO?"

Andy Rubin was stunned by the question Li Mu.

Li Mu saw that he did not answer, and then said, "You know, Andy, I am currently working with Hollywood to make movies, so I have been exposed to some things in the film and television industry. I found that the internet industry and the film and television industry although look It ’s a thousand miles away, but there are actually many similarities. "

Andy Rubin asked curiously: "Chief Li, I don't know what the two industries have in common?"

Li Mu laughed: "In our industry, some people are excellent technicians, they are like Hollywood excellent actors, proficient in acting, put them in any role, they can shape people. Satisfied role;

Some people are excellent product managers and projects person in charge. They can see the market demand, design a complete set of product logic and fully guarantee the project landing. They are like the big-name screenwriters of Hollywood. They have a strong overall view and logic Sense, can plan everything from the overall situation and details, in the internet industry, such roles are mostly person in charge for products or projects; "

When it came to this, Li Mu paused deliberately, and then solemnly said: "There are some people who may not understand technology or products, but they understand management and know how to put the best Put people in the position that suits him best, and let him play the most effective, at the same time know how to plan long-term strategic tactics for the company, so that the company can continue to grow and develop, such a person is an excellent CEO, like the top of Hollywood Director, many top directors ca n’t act or even write screenplays, but he just can put together a bunch of people and then maximize this project to landing. "

"A successful company may not have excellent technical staff or excellent project person in charge staff, but it must have a strong CEO, because a strong CEO will ensure that all problems can be solved, but Andy, You are a material for product person in charge, but by no means a material for CEO, your entrepreneurship will generally not deviate from the following results:

First, the team leaves you and the project goes bankrupt;

Second, the project was acquired in the middle and early stages, and then you were kicked out;

Third, in order to continue the project, you are forced to hand over the position of CEO;

If you continue to start a business, no matter who you invest in, it is difficult to be truly successful unless you are not the CEO. "

Andy Rubin was so directly criticized by the young Li Mu who was nearly twenty years old, and the whole person's face was a bit hot, but he had to admit that Li Mu is very reasonable on this issue. I am a technology expert and a geek, but I am not a good CEO. Now that I have raised money everywhere, I have not been successful. It is probably also related to investors ’mistrust of their ability to be CEOs.

At this time, Li Mu said again: "I have seen a lot of technical talents come out to start a business. When they meet with investors, they are talking about projects and technology throughout the article, but few technical talents can talk to them. Talk about the management of the enterprise and the long-term and comprehensive strategic planning in the future. You must know that the investor ’s concern will never be the longest piece in the barrel, but the shortest piece, because that link determines his investment. Whether the money can be earned is full, or the compensation is incomplete. In my eyes, your personal professional ability is impeccable, but your management ability, I have great doubts. I heard that your last entrepreneurial project was Is there a conflict with the entrepreneurial team and investors? "

Andy Rubin nodded awkwardly and said, "I haven't been able to recognize the reason before. After talking with Chief Li today, I finally understood where I was wrong."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Andy, in my opinion, you can consider joining Muye Science and Technology. If you are willing to join, I will fully support the technical direction you choose. Operating super product development like system is a bottomless hole. If you take the money out of your pocket, you will never be able to fill the hole, or you may even fall into it one day. Join Muye Science and Technology. I will fill this bottomless hole for you. If you want money, I will give you the money. I will give it to others, and I will implement some of the options for you. The IPO of Muye Science and Technology will take place in the second half of the year, and you will definitely make a lot of money by then. "

Finally, Li Mu stared at Andy Rubin and said seriously: "This kind of good opportunity is really rare in Silicon Valley!"
