Rebirth 08: Can a mobile game company also build a tech empire?

"For example, images saved by users through screenshots,"

The system can intelligently identify information such as phone numbers, tracking numbers, and Wi-Fi passwords contained in images.

Users can make phone calls, check logistics, and connect to Wi-Fi with a single click.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bing's breath hitched slightly.

Lin Bing followed Lu Chen's narration.

He could almost picture the smooth interaction process in his mind.

A verification code pops up in the SMS notification bar.

The system automatically identifies and temporarily stores the information.

The user taps the input box, long-presses, and pastes.

No need to switch apps, no need to remember anything, and no need to manually enter that annoying string of numbers!

This feature itself doesn't have a high technical barrier to entry.

The key is that it can be thought of.

And it is integrated into the underlying logic of system interaction.

This doesn't require top-notch programmers.

It also requires meticulous observation of the user's usage process.

"Intelligent recognition, automatic saving, one-click operation..."

Lin Bing repeated in a low voice, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

He was thinking deeply.

"That's a really clever idea!"

It does not solve a technical problem.

It happens every day.

Subtle yet real pain points!

Lu Chen saw the glint in Lin Bing's eyes.

He decided to add fuel to the fire.

"even!"

Lu Chen's voice suddenly rose.

Based on this idea,

We can achieve cross-device data transfer!

Any service can be seamlessly migrated from one device to another for continued use.

Future mobile phones, computers, and even watches, tablets, and televisions, etc.

You can use one account to exchange items!

"I call it 'seamless device switching, continuous online service'!"

"this!"

Lin Bing's hand trembled, and she almost spilled the coffee.

Was all of this really the idea of ​​this young man?

If this is true, it's terrifying.

Indeed,

Since different applications can exchange data.

Why can't different devices work together?

Although I don't know what the watch and tablet Lu Chen mentioned are.

Because these devices have not yet been released.

But the mere interconnectivity between mobile phones and computers is already exciting.

Lu Chen picked up his coffee and took a sip, knowing that it was almost ready.

He was just about to reveal the purpose of his trip.

Develop a customized system in collaboration with Google.

But he stopped himself from saying it.

Lu Chen suddenly had a bold idea.

Why not let Lin Bing join ZhengTu Technology?

As long as Lin Bing can join ZhengTu Technology.

It will definitely bring about a qualitative leap for the company.

If we had this great deity.

Lu Chen is absolutely confident that he can achieve a business empire even larger than Xiaomi's in its early days!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but lick his lips.

This is indeed a big challenge.

How will we know if it will work if we don't try?

"Dean Lin,"

Lu Chen put down his cup, leaned forward slightly, and spoke with unusual seriousness.

"What we just discussed were only one or two details in the most ambitious blueprint."

This proposal contains dozens of similar ideas.

And in the minds of me and my team, there is even more!

But ideas need people to bring them to life.

The system needs to be built by a programmer.

He paused for a moment, then looked directly at Lin Bing.

"I believe that the future of the Android system in China..."

It doesn't matter whether Google headquarters attaches importance to it.

It depends on whether there are enough talented people who understand this land well.

We are willing to dedicate ourselves to creating truly user-friendly products for our users here.

Lin Bing pushed up her glasses.

They seemed to have sensed the subtext in Lu Chen's words.

But he didn't respond.

I just listened quietly.

"Vice President of Google China Engineering Research Institute"

This is a high-level position, and the platform is excellent.

Lu Chen changed the subject and said:

"But your job is more about executing headquarters' strategies,"

"Is it right that I'm promoting the localization of GMS and coordinating the entry of various Google services into the Chinese market?"

Lin Bing nodded, without denying it.

This is indeed his primary responsibility.

Although he has been working hard to make the Android system more suitable for the Chinese market.

However, the effect was not significant.

The headquarters has its own global plans.

most of the time,

Local teams can't just do whatever they want.

We also need to consider America's opinion from Google headquarters.

"But, and I mean, if,"

Lu Chen lowered his voice even further.

His voice carried an undeniable power.

"If you have the chance, start from scratch."

To personally participate in, and even lead, the creation of a platform entirely designed for the Chinese market.

What about a system that integrates all your ideas about mobile operation systems?

It's not just about patching things up.

Instead, it is based on open-source Android.

Redesign the interaction logic, system architecture, and service ecosystem.

To create a mobile operating system that hundreds of millions of Chinese users will feel is exactly what they want!

Would you like to?

At that moment, the air in the café seemed to stand still.

Lin Bing's fingers tightened slightly as she placed them on the project proposal.

He understood.

This young man,

It's not just about seeking cooperation,

He was trying to recruit me.

Is it absurd?

The owner of a small company that had been established for only a year and a half, with only a few dozen employees, and had just made a small breakthrough with an MP4 player.

They actually want to poach the vice president of Google China's engineering research institute?

Logically speaking, this is indeed quite absurd.

Lin Bing was unaware of the achievements Lu Chen's company had already made.

He only happened to see Lu Chen's creative proposal by chance.

Today's meeting was simply out of his own interest.

Knowledge wanted to exchange ideas with this young man.

But Lin Bing looked at the young man in front of her, who had an amazing insight into the future of mobile operation systems.

Looking at the heavy, forward-looking plan on the table.

The refusal that was about to slip out somehow became impossible to utter.

"Mr. Lu,"

Lin Bing spoke slowly, her tone complex.

I admire your vision and courage.

This best plan, and the many ideas you just mentioned,

All of this proves that you and your team have extraordinary potential.

but……"

He paused.

I worked at Google for almost three years.

The platform and resources here,

And the projects I am in charge of,

I have benefited greatly from them.

more importantly,

I believe in the future of Android.

I also believe in Google's strategy in China.

Leave now.

It wasn't an easy decision for me.

That might not be a wise choice either.

Lu Chen had anticipated this.

Lin Bing now earns a million dollars a year and serves as the vice president of Google's engineering research institute.

He rose through the ranks from engineer to manager, and then to vice dean.

He worked at Microsoft, Google, and later at Xiaomi.

This is enough to demonstrate Lin Bing's talent.

Such talent.

How could she be so easily moved by Lu Chen's few words?

But Lu Chen knew.

Lin Bing is also an idealist.

otherwise,

Lin Bing will not be swayed by Kai-Fu Lee's words:

"It is more meaningful to create products that truly impact hundreds of millions of people in China than to continue developing enterprise-level software at America."

He resigned from his job at Microsoft and joined Google China.

And it won't be affected by Lei Jun's words:

"To build a company that can change China's manufacturing industry."

They gave up the high salary and stock options.

He then turned to pursuing his entrepreneurial ideals.
