Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 1970 Why do you want to invest in me?
After arriving at the destination, Duan Yongping took a group of people to take a short rest and then directly began to inquire about all the information about Andrew.

The United States is a place that recognizes money but not people.

As long as you have money and are willing to spend it, it's easy to get things done.

Soon, a detailed information appeared in Duan Yongping's hands.

Andrew was born in New York State in [-].

In [-], he received a bachelor's degree in computer science from Utica College in New York State, and later joined Carl Zeiss, a company famous for the production of optical instruments, as a robotics engineer.

In 26, [-]-year-old Andrew came to Apple.

In 1990, Apple spun off its handheld computer division and communications equipment division to form a new company.

Two years later, he joined the new company.

Here, he started his own engineering culture, that is, work is life.

He and several colleagues set up beds above the cubicles in the office and lived and ate in the office almost 24 hours a day.

Hard work pays off.

It was precisely because of their working attitude around the clock that they successfully developed Magic Cap, a smartphone operating system and interface.

It gained huge attention upon its launch.

On the first day the company went public in [-], its stock price doubled.

But the good times did not last long. Magic Cap was not recognized by the market. It was rumored that it was too advanced and the research department was eventually disbanded.

Subsequently, three Apple veterans established Artemis R&D Company and invited him to join to research new projects such as interactive Internet TV.

In [-], Artemis was acquired by Microsoft, and Andrew stayed at Microsoft, quietly exploring his own robot project until now.

After reading this information, Duan Yongping couldn't help but frowned.

It can be seen from this information that Andrew is indeed somewhat capable and is a very good engineer.

However, it does not seem to match the importance Chen Jianghai attaches to it.

As for the mobile phone system that Andrew participated in the research, only one Magic Cap was mentioned.

He did not study in depth what kind of mobile phone system this was. After all, a system that was not recognized by the market was definitely not a good system.

As for the Android system mentioned by Mr. Chen, there is not a word mentioned in the information.

This inevitably caused him to have great doubts and confusion about Chen Jianghai's arrangements.

"Maybe there is something missing from the information!"

Duan Yongping couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

He had experienced Chen Jianghai's brilliance many times, so although he didn't understand it a little, he didn't dare to question it too much.

Anyway, he came to recruit this Andrew, and after meeting and chatting, he understood everything.

In the next few days, he was looking for someone to contact Andrew, hoping to meet him.

What he didn't expect was that this person was really hard to see.

It's not that the other person has much airs, but that this person is a pure workaholic who likes to do research and is unwilling to participate in too many social activities.

Duan Yongping really had no choice but to get it through the people around him, and after spending a lot of energy, he finally met Andrew.

In a high-end Italian restaurant, two people sat facing each other.

"Hello, I heard from my friend that you have always wanted to see me. Why? I don't seem to have much interaction with you."

As soon as they met, Andrew asked straight to the point without any intention of beating around the bush. "That's right, Mr. Andrew, I'm here mainly to invest in you."

Duan Yongping is also engaged in technology, but he is very adaptable to this kind of communication method, and he also stated his purpose directly.

This straightforward style of conversation is popular here in the United States.

Moreover, Andrew is a typical engineer with a very straightforward personality. This kind of person often doesn't like to waste time.

Sure enough, Andrew was not disgusted with Duan Yongping's straightforwardness.

However, when he heard the other party's intention, he couldn't help but frown.

"why?"

Andrew subconsciously asked this question again, "I mean, you know, I am an employee of Microsoft now. Although I am not happy now, I have not officially resigned."

"And I don't have any product worth mentioning, so why should you invest in me?"

Andrew did have thoughts about leaving Microsoft recently, but he only thought about it in his mind and did not tell anyone about it.

He loves studying robots, and at Microsoft he did develop a robot that could move and be equipped with a camera.

But not long ago, his robot was suddenly hacked, which almost caused a big mistake.

Subsequently, people from Microsoft's security team relegated his robot to the sidelines and prohibited him from messing around within the company.

This way of handling it was difficult for him to accept, and he even argued for a long time, but to no avail, which made him more and more annoyed.

He had a deep love for robots, which undoubtedly ruined his hobbies and enthusiasm.

But he didn't tell anyone else about this.

The most important thing is, why would a distant Easterner suddenly come all the way and say he wants to invest in himself?
And it seems that the other party is very sincere.

After all, finding him and asking him out is not an easy task in itself.

"That's right, Mr. Andrew, I have some understanding of your situation and feel that you are a talent and it is really not worth wasting it in a place like Microsoft, so I came up with the idea of ​​investing in you."

"Moreover, we in China attach great importance to talents now. To use one of our idioms to describe it, we are thirsty for talents."

"Mr. Andrew, after much understanding, we all agree that you are in line with our investment wishes. We also believe that you are definitely a talent worth investing in and are willing to pay a sufficient price."

Ignoring other things, Duan Yongping slapped him first with his flattery.

As the saying goes, if you wear it for thousands of times, you will never wear it for flattery.

Sure enough, Andrew looked very happy. It was a good experience to feel that he was taken seriously.

Next, Duan Yongping and Andrew had an in-depth exchange.

Under Duan Yongping's sincere compliment, the two chatted relatively well.

After all, Duan Yongping is also an industry insider. If he wants to compliment the other party, he will not be as empty as ordinary people.

In addition, Duan Yongping is also a leader and has quite a bit of conversational art. He can always scratch Andrew's itch easily and keep him in a state of high spirits.

After some exchanges, Duan Yongping discovered that Andrew was indeed very skilled in computers and robotics.

Until now, Andrew has talked very little about the mobile phone system.

Duan Yongping also felt that he couldn't understand the system he used to build at Apple.

No wonder it has to be welcomed by the market.

It's hard for professionals who use mobile phones to understand him, let alone other ordinary people.
