Yu Dong was originally going to talk to Jimmy about something, but Ken Williams stopped him halfway, "YU, who are you looking for?"
Ken Williams likes to talk in roundabout ways. Although he asked Yu Dong who he was looking for, what he really wanted to say was, do you have time to chat?
Yu Dong stopped. The Williams couple were there, and there was a young man standing next to him.
"I'm not looking for anyone, what are you talking about?" Yu Dong walked towards them, then looked at the young man and said, "Larry, do you feel comfortable coming to Jinling?"
The young man smiled and replied, "Everything is fine. It would be even better if we could see the sun in these two days."
"If you stay for two more days, you will definitely be able to see the sun." Yu Dong said with a smile.
The young man shook his head helplessly, "There are still things to deal with at the company, and I will go back tomorrow."
"Work is urgent."
Yu Dong nodded. The young man in front of him was Larry Page, CEO of Google. Although he was less than thirty years old, he was already worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
At this time the year before last, their company was still working in a cramped and small office that was only slightly better than a garage. During meetings, they could only sit on a ping pong table.
By mid-1999, they received an investment from Deep Space Corporation, and then developed rapidly. In the fall, Google was no longer a beta search engine and began processing approximately 300 million search results every day.
After more than a year of rapid development, Google has now become the world's largest Internet search engine, and even Yahoo has chosen Google as its default search results provider.
In the past year, the twenty-year-old young man in front of me has been on the headlines of major economic newspapers, and has been in the limelight for a while.
At last year’s annual meeting, Google’s Sergey Brin came to attend, but this year it was replaced by Larry Page.
Yu Dong looked at the Williams couple again, "Is Xuele Mountain planning to cooperate with Google?"
Ken Williams smiled and said, "That's not true. We were just chatting. Mr. Page is very interested in our platform."
Larry Page nodded and said, "Well, I think space is a very potential software, but now it seems that it is not attractive enough. The two games "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Half-Life" make it
It got more users, but people just used it as a launcher for Plants vs. Zombies or Half-Life."
Yu Dong smiled. What Larry Page said was true. Space just released a piece of data last week. This data showed that 82% of Space users started the first game after opening the software.
Plants vs. Zombies or Half-Life.
Among the remaining 18% of users, nearly 50% did nothing after opening the software. They did not open any game until they closed the software. After removing these, they logged into the space to play other games.
There are only 13% users, which is not much evenly distributed among each game.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the launcher for "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Half-Life".
Users rarely open space to play other games. After all, if you want to play games like "Lianliankan" and "Xiaoxiaole", you don't need to log in to space at all, because people can download them directly from the game mall website.
Space also has a points system. The longer players play the game, the more points they get. However, because the points cannot be exchanged for good things, and space does not have social functions now, there is no way to show off if you have high points.
Therefore, points are not attractive to users.
However, this problem will be better after space opens up social functions.
"Perhaps you have any way to improve the problem?" Yu Dong asked.
Larry Page shook his head, "I don't have any good methods, but I think Space must first gain some advantages in the number of games. If it can get more exclusive games, even if users are reluctant, they must open them."
When there are three to five exclusive games on the space that users like, I think they won’t find the process of opening the software cumbersome.”
Ken Williams smiled: "This is exactly what we have been doing, and there will be more fun exclusive games after "Plants vs. Zombies."
"Well, I will always pay attention to you."
Larry Page took the initiative to find the Williamses because he was very interested in space and even thought about acquiring this platform. However, because of the existence of Deep Space Company, the possibility of Google acquiring Snow Mountain was very slim.
Roberta Williams smiled and said: "Thank you very much for your support. The next time Andy goes to give lectures at a certain school, I can invite you to go with him."
"Okay, I didn't make it this time. It's a pity. He is a very talented person and I have heard many stories about him." Larry Page said regretfully.
Yu Dong asked curiously: "Who is Andy?"
Roberta Williams smiled and said, "Andy Rubin, a friend of mine, is a very talented technology geek. He used to work at Microsoft. After leaving Microsoft last year, he opened a company that seems to specialize in robots.
Well, he sometimes goes to some places to give lectures to software engineers. Just now, Mr. Page said that he was originally going to take Andy's class, but he couldn't go because he had something to do, which is very regrettable."
"You may have mistakenly remembered that his company does not specialize in robots. He has indeed been researching robots before, but the device of their company is a digital sponge, which is actually a scanning device. If it is successfully developed,
It can scan items and then upload the images to the Internet to discover information about these items on the network platform. Of course, this is just a theory and is very difficult to implement."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, doesn't this sound like the image search later?
But later image searches relied on smartphones, and now this man named Andy Rubin wants to build a machine that can scan images.
It is indeed very difficult to realize and utilize this idea on the Internet, and it is basically impossible in a short time.
However, Andy Rubin piqued Yu Dong's interest because his idea was very interesting. If they could research in this direction, they might be able to develop some functions for smartphones.
"How is their product doing now? How far can it be achieved?"
Larry Page shook his head, "I don't know about that. I actually don't pay much attention to their product."
"What's the name of his company?"
"Danger, a small company."
Danger, Yu Dong silently wrote down the name of this company. He planned to ask Jimmy to contact this Andy Rubin when he is not so busy after the new year. It would be best to invite him over to have a chat and see what his thoughts are.
What is it? If his research can really promote the development of smartphones, such a talent cannot be missed.
Larry Page was quite surprised to see Yu Dong being so interested in Andy Rubin. He had always heard that Yu Dong was very sensitive in the IT industry, but he didn't expect him to be so sensitive. They just mentioned a person casually.
Yu Dong was so concerned.
Roberta Williams saw that Yu Dong was interested in Andy Rubin, so she smiled and said, "If you want to contact him, I can help you contact him. He also mentioned it when he talked to me on the phone before.
space, and said that the software is very good. I think if you want to meet him, he will definitely be very willing."
Yu Dong thought for a while, nodded and said, "If it's convenient, of course I hope to meet such an outstanding talent, but I'm quite busy these two days, so I'd better wait until after New Year's Eve."
"No problem, if you want to find him, just tell me anytime."
…
As there were more and more people in the hall, it became more and more difficult for Yu Dong to find Jimmy, because every few steps he took, someone would stop him, and he had to stop and say a few words to someone.
If we talk about something, it will take some time.
It wasn't until the dinner started that Yu Dong finally met Jimmy.
As soon as he saw Yu Dong, Jimmy said with a smile, "I just chatted with Mr. Han for a while, and they are interested in jointly investing with us to establish a theater management company."
Hearing this news, Yu Dong was not surprised at all, because Han Shanping had mentioned this matter before when he said that he would carry out theater reform.
Now that the theater chain has been reformed, it is like changing the pot, but China Film still wants to take advantage of this new pot.
If they want to make money, they have to follow market rules, so they have to set up theater chain management companies to compete with other theater chains.
Han Shanping also knows that it is unrealistic for them to compete with those dynamic theater chain companies on their own. It is better to rely on their own brands to cooperate with powerful entertainment media companies to develop theater chains together.
Deep Space is naturally their first choice for China Film Group. Deep Space has very strong film and television production capabilities, as well as strong publicity and film distribution capabilities.
In addition, Deep Space Company has a special relationship with IMAX Company. If their theater chain wants to build an IMAX theater, it will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
In fact, Yu Dong is not particularly interested in the development of theater chains, but being able to control a theater chain is always a good thing for Shenzhen Sky Company, and it is not difficult to make money by cooperating with China Film.
"Have the details been finalized?" Yu Dong asked.
Jimmy rolled his eyes, "How is that possible? We still have to find time to talk in detail later, but I think Mr. Han is quite anxious. It is estimated that we will have in-depth talks after the year."
"Han Shanping is so anxious, so I guess he has already contacted some movie theaters. It is impossible to go to each movie theater to negotiate the contract after the cooperation is agreed. It would be too time-consuming," Yu Dong said.
Jimmy nodded, "Yes, he also mentioned it just now. He did contact some movie theaters and asked them about their wishes. The result can be imagined. Their name of China Film Group Co., Ltd. plus the brand name of our Deep Space Company
, not many movie theaters can refuse. I did some research on Mr. Han’s background, and his hope is that within five years we can sign contracts with 200 movie theaters, and the number of screens can exceed 1,000 yuan.”
Yu Dong frowned and calculated, "This goal is not too difficult."
Jimmy smiled and said, "It's really not that difficult. If you sign contracts without any choice, it won't take you five years to achieve this quantity in one year. But when we sign a contract with a cinema, we must also consider the quality of the cinema and our
Management issues. Every additional cinema in the theater chain will make management more difficult. It is not easy to manage two hundred cinemas. If the contract is signed in a short period of time, it may cause management chaos, which is of no benefit to us.
."
"So what does Mr. Han mean, does this new company want to get involved in theater investment?"
Jimmy shook his head, "There is no such plan for the time being. He wants to fix the theater chain management system first, and then consider investing in theaters after the theater chain is stable. After all, compared to theater chain management, investing in theaters costs too much."
incredible."
"This idea is correct. If you want to build a theater chain, you must first operate the theater chain safely and steadily, and we will talk about the rest later."
"Haha, let's not talk more now. I have made an appointment with him to chat tomorrow afternoon."
Yu Dong couldn't help but twitch his lips, "I made an appointment with Tom Hanks to talk about the new movie tomorrow, and I'm going to talk to you about the theater chain this afternoon. You didn't leave me any time at all."
Jimmy raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a good thing that my appointment with Mr. Han was in the afternoon, otherwise we would have crashed and I didn't even know you had an appointment with Tom Hanks in the morning."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I just made an appointment and was about to tell you this."
"Okay, tomorrow..."
Just as Jimmy was about to say something, a staff member came over and whispered, "Mr. Ji, Mr. Yu, please start taking your seats."
When they heard that they had to sit down, the two nodded and then went to their table under the guidance of the staff.
…
Yu Dong stayed at the scene until nine o'clock and then left. He neither saw off the guests who were in a hurry to leave nor stayed to take care of other guests, because there were too many people at the scene and it was impossible for him to take care of them.
However, Deep Space Company has a strict responsibility system, and each table of guests has at least one staff member responsible for it.
Yu Hua and others went home with him. These guys were very drunk and wanted to go to Luoyuan to play cards. Yu Dong had no choice but to ask the driver to drag them all to the park.
I went to Yudong and brought back a total of ten people. If I was whipping eggs, I could gather more than two tables. If there were two more people in the garden, I could gather three tables.
They were arranged to play cards in the teahouse, and Yu Dong and his wife returned to their small single-family building.
Cheng Yanqiu listened attentively and said with a smile, "They are not noisy while playing cards. You can't hear much noise."
"It's not a war. You can still hear sounds from such a distance." Yu Dong took off his coat and asked, "Is Yu Yi asleep?"
"Well, she went to bed very early today. She went to bed after eight o'clock. She was in her grandma and grandpa's room."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I performed so well today that I went to bed after eight o'clock."
"She said she was tired from running during the day. Feng Changdi and the other children are here today, taking her crazy and having fun all day long."
"Children just like to play with children, but not with adults."
