After answering the phone, Zhang Ran turned his head and found that Wu Ruide had put on VR glasses and was experiencing the effect.

In fact, VR is not a new thing. In the 1990s, it caused a wave of VR heat and developed VR helmets. However, the VR helmet developed at that time was bulky, single-function, expensive, and did not become popular, and soon subsided. However, since then, people have never stopped research and development in the VR field, and related products have been continuously launched.

Zhang Ran and Wu Ruide have a judgment on the future. They believe that in twenty years, VR and A will replace the existing mobile Internet platform. At that time, the peak of the century will inevitably face the problem of the transformation of mobile Internet to VR platform, so they must prepare for the future and make layouts for VR.

When Wu Ruide took off his VR glasses, Zhang Ran asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"

Wu Ruide shook his head slightly: "It's similar to Sony's VR glasses, but it's still a matter of clarity!"

Zhang Ran knew that there are many problems with VR glasses now, and clarity is one of them. He smiled and said, "A few days ago, I talked about this issue with the graphics experts of Industrial Light and Magic. They believed that if the VR picture wants to achieve the most natural clarity of the human eye, the resolution of each eye must be 16k. Now 4k cameras are not popular. It takes at least 15 years to reach 16k. In addition, hardware comfort and adaptability issues, it takes at least 30 years to truly mature VR movies!"

In fact, the problem faced by VR movies is not just technology, but also a very important problem. The existing movie language is basically invalid in VR. The perspective of VR is similar to CSS. This perspective has no scene changes, and there is no way to cut the shot like a movie. When watching a movie, you see a person from afar, and the director can directly give the person a close-up to let you know who he is. When playing CSS, you see a gangster from afar. If you immediately take a close-up, the gangster's face appears in front of you, what does it feel like? It's like teleportation, which will be very strange. VR movies cannot cut the shot, and all the shots are like teleportation. In addition, there are various problems, and even internal montages cannot be used. Therefore, if VR movies want to develop, they must create new movie languages ​​and editing techniques.

To Zhang Ran, this is the most interesting thing to create a new movie, create a new movie language and editing technique.

After leaving Motorola headquarters, Zhang Ran, who had originally had a relaxed expression suddenly became serious and lowered his voice to Wu Ruide, saying: "I just received a notice from the Ministry of Commerce that the Chief No. 1 will visit the United States at the end of this month. I will attend the welcome dinner and the Chinese-US entrepreneurs symposium at the first stop of Washington; in addition, Chief No. 1 may visit Blockbuster headquarters!"

Wu Ruide was slightly stunned when he heard that the Chief No. 1 was about to visit Blockbuster headquarters, but immediately realized that Blockbuster had more than 30,000 employees in the United States, and solved the job problem of more than 30,000 people in the United States. This is a very amazing achievement and no domestic company can compare with it. However, Zhang Ran didn't need to say this, but since he said it, it must be intentional. Wu Ruide looked at Zhang Ran and asked: "Do you want to take down Motorola before Chief No. 1 visits the United States?"

Zhang Ran nodded slightly: "Interviews between Chinese and US dollar leaders often sign huge economic and trade orders. This order was signed under the witness of the heads of state and government officials of both sides. If our merger and acquisition agreement can be added, it will be less trouble when passing the review of the US Foreign Investment Commission!"

Wu Ruide thinks this makes sense. Economic and trade orders were signed under the witness of the *** and the US government. If a US lawmaker comes out to make trouble, it is equivalent to slapping the *** face. More importantly, the US Foreign Investment Committee itself is responsible for the White House department. It is nodded. Even if a member of the symposium comes out to make trouble, they will definitely have some concerns and will not easily reject the transaction! This is indeed a good idea, but Wu Ruide is worried about the time issue: "It's already the 7th day, and it's only half a month. Is it too late?"

Zhang Ran also knew that time was very tight, but this matter was worth a try, so he said: "Let's take action separately. You go to Xiangjiang to discuss the repurchase of shares with Poly Investment. I went to New York to find Carl Icahn and convey our acquisition intention. Carl Icahn has long wanted to sell Motorola's mobile phone business. I asked him to hold an interim board of directors as soon as possible. As long as Motorola's board of directors passes, things will be relatively simple."

Meanwhile, in a large conference room at Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, the board of directors is holding a board meeting.

The ten Microsoft board members all looked very ugly, and each of them looked gloomy, as if they had owed them money and refused to pay it back.

Since Apple launched its first iPhone phone in 2007, the curtain of the mobile Internet era has begun. But it has been three years since then, and Microsoft has made no progress in this regard. Microsoft's mobile phone system market share is extremely low and even faces the risk of being eliminated. Therefore, the directors are quite dissatisfied with the company's management.

Bill Gates knocked on the table and said seriously: "According to the latest data, Android now accounts for 25% of the global smartphone market. In 2009, its market share was only 3.5%. In just one year, its market share soared by more than 7 times. And our Microsoft's market share is only 2.5%, which is only one-tenth of Android! Gentlemen, do you know what this means? It means that in the era of mobile Internet, Microsoft may be completely eliminated! It means we have lost our future!"

Although Bill Gates has stepped down as Microsoft Ceo for ten years, he is not only the founder of Microsoft, but also a member of the board of directors and a major shareholder. He is a emperor-like existence in Microsoft. Now that Bill Gates is talking so heavily, he is obviously very dissatisfied with Microsoft's progress in transferring it to the Internet.

When Microsoft Ceo Ballmer heard Bill Gates say this, he felt a huge pressure and quickly said: "I am promoting an action called Iron Fist. Elop, a former executive of our company, became the new CEO and CEO of Nokia in September last year. Last month I met him and I have persuaded him to cooperate with Microsoft. Lokia will soon give up the Symbian system and the meego system that is being developed to cooperate with us. Starting from the end of next year, Nokia will produce WP mobile phones, and by the end of next year, WP devices under the Nokia trademark will completely replace Symbian's position. Relying on Nokia's position in mobile phones, our WP system will occupy more than 40% of the mobile Internet sector by 2013!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Ballmer's words. If Nokia could really convince him to join Microsoft's camp and Microsoft and Nokia joined forces, then Microsoft would be able to make a complete comeback on the mobile Internet.

Bill Gates's eyes lit up: "How did you convince him?"

Ballmer smiled proudly: "I told Elop that as long as he can promote the cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft, when I retire, I would recommend him to be the CEO and president of Microsoft."

Bill Gates laughed: "Beautiful job. If Elop can really convince Nokia to cooperate with us and let us master the mobile Internet, I also support him as Microsoft's CEO and CEO! But it still cannot be taken lightly. Even if Microsoft cooperates with Nokia, the mobile phone will be released next year. Now Android's market share is 25%. By the time our mobile phone is on the market, Android's market share may have exceeded 40%, or even more. How to solve this problem?"

Ballmer said confidently: "The biggest problem facing Google and Android is patents. Next, we will file lawsuits against several major Android phone players, especially HTC and Samsung, asking governments to ban the sale of HTC and Samsung phones. If Android phones are banned on a large scale around the world, then these mobile phone manufacturers can only turn to us!"

Bill Gates nodded slightly: "Google will not sit still and wait for death. It will definitely acquire a large number of patents on mobile phones. We must do our best to stop them. As long as they don't get enough patents, we will fight with them and use patents to strangle Android!"

Ballmer also thought this way: "North Electric Network went bankrupt last year, with about 4,000 patents, with a total value of more than $1 billion. Google is very interested in these patents of Nortel Network. I have contacted Apple and other companies to form a team and prepare to steal Nortel Network's patents at a high price."

At this moment, Hastings, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "North Electric Network only has 4,000 patents, and Motorola has 17,000 patents and 7,500 patents being applied for. Google's patent for Nortel Networks is not scary, it is scary to take down Motorola. As long as they take down Motorola, no one can stop Android's growth. Compared to Nortel Networks, taking down Motorola is more important!"

All the directors present thought Hastings' words were very reasonable. Now Motorola has been split into two companies. Motorola Mobile's market value is only more than 8 billion US dollars. Google has enough funds to acquire Motorola. This is really something that has to be guarded against.

However, Ballmer's face changed when he heard this and retorted loudly: "No, we cannot acquire Motorola. If we acquire Motorola, it will be difficult for Elop to convince Nokia's board of directors to cooperate with us. You must know that Nokia originally had a plan to develop Android phones and was already developing Android phones. However, after Elop took office, he cut off the Android phone plan and rejected Google's invitation to cooperate. If we acquired Motorola at this time and we had a mobile phone in our hands, how could Nokia believe us? They would definitely turn to Google. We can't do this!"

Hastings frowned and said, "If we don't buy it, once Google gets Motorola's patent, Android will be unstoppable!"

At this time, another director Dina Dubron suggested: "I don't think so. We don't acquire Motorola's mobile phone business, we just acquire Motorola's patents. Even if the premium is higher, it doesn't matter, or even 200%. As long as we win Motorola's mobile phone patents and Nokia cooperates with us, we are fully capable of occupying a place on the mobile Internet!"

Bill Gates nodded slightly: "This is the best way at present!"

Meanwhile, at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, Eric Schmidt is talking to the company's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Due to the large number of legal lawsuits faced by Google in recent months and the US Department of Justice's infringement investigation, Schmidt decided to resign to divert public criticism of Google, and he himself was fully prepared to act as a scapegoat; the position of CEO will be succeeded by Larry Page, and Sergey Brin succeeded in the position of Larry Page.

Eric Schmidt looked at Larry Page, then Sergey Brin, and said in a deep voice: "Now we have faced a lot of lawsuits, but Microsoft and Apple will not let us go. They will definitely launch more lawsuits against Android. We must make every effort to acquire patents. Only by mastering enough patents can we break through this war!"
