Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 2028 A cool and avant-garde idea

Andrew was actually somewhat conflicted about talking to Chen Jianghai.

After all, he and Chen Jianghai had never met before, and there was an extremely subtle feeling of strangeness between them.

In Andrew's first recognition, Chen Jianghai was the boss who invested in him.

And in his subconscious mind, such people often cannot get along with him.

Because the investors Andrew met basically only valued results.

As a technician, you need to spend a lot of time on research and development.

To put it bluntly, Andrew is a pure engineer and programmer from head to toe.

He and these bosses are not the same people at all.

Reluctant to give up, the next day, Andrew still had his first phone call with Chen Jianghai, the boss who had never met him before.

What he didn't expect at all was that the communication with Chen Jianghai would go so smoothly.

At the beginning, Andrew was somewhat nervous because of some resistance in his heart.

However, after communicating with Chen Jianghai, he discovered that this investor from the mysterious East was completely different from the bosses he knew.

Not only does it have a large landscape, but it also has a clear grasp of the technology market, and it also has its own unique insights into the future development direction.

He felt that the other party had a very clear concept of many of the professional knowledge involved, which is something that ordinary investors absolutely cannot have.

Therefore, he truthfully told Chen Jianghai the hesitation and struggle in his heart.

After hearing these concerns from Andrew, Chen Jianghai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Andrew, I know you are very interested in robots. I found someone to collect information about the robot you made at Microsoft. That is A great product.”

"However, it also has some problems, and there is still a long way to go to make it perfect."

"Boss, what do you think is wrong with it?" Andrew asked humbly.

Chen Jianghai replied directly: "First of all, the robot you built is only a stand-alone product, and you can only manually enter the code as a command."

"Then have you ever thought about it, now is the Internet era, and your country in the United States has begun to build a huge Internet that connects the entire United States."

"What if you add this technology to a robot? Then in the future, your robot can receive instructions remotely and learn knowledge from the Internet to improve itself?"

"What if you add computer processing functions to the robot? Wouldn't it be better? And these can be the main directions of your research."

Before Chen Jianghai made the call, he had already thought about how to call the other party.

Andrew's tip should not be too obvious.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a butterfly effect, which may affect Andrew's future development and research.

Chen Jianghai also doesn’t know what the specific consequences will be at that time.

If Andrew cannot develop the Android system because of this, it will be a huge loss.

Therefore, Chen Jianghai could only give appropriate reminders based on Andrew's future development trajectory, and try his best to get him on the path of Android system research.

In [-], in his previous life, after Andrew left Microsoft, he rented a retail store in Silicon Valley for his laboratory.

His main job in this laboratory is to study various robots.

At the same time, Andrew was also contemplating the possibility of developing various new products with his friends.They started by building a device the size of a chocolate bar that users could use to scan items and then upload the images online to discover information about the items on the online platform.

There is no doubt that this is a cool and avant-garde idea.

But it was a pity that no one invested in him at that time, so the product was shelved and was not launched to the market in the first place.

But Andrew and his friends didn't give up.

Because in their minds, this is a technology with great potential.

So after that, everyone overcame various difficulties and established a company to further improve the original invention.

They added a wireless receiver and converter to the device, turning it into an internet-enabled smartphone.

Around the year [-], Andrew met the founder of Google by chance.

The two of them were chatting happily, and they felt like they had met too late.

Subsequently, the founder of Google made a direct decision to acquire Andrew's company.

Then came the advent of the Android system.

Based on this information, Chen Jianghai could only remind Andrew to continue developing into robots, and then appropriately introduce the concept of the Internet.

He believed that because of his intervention, Andrew would have a very specific research direction in the future.

Sure enough, after listening to Chen Jianghai's words, Andrew seemed to have an enlightenment and suddenly found his future research direction.

I just heard him say happily: "Wow, Chen, you are such a great boss. I have benefited a lot from talking to you and gained a lot. I have now found the direction of my research!"

"As you just said, my robot still needs further improvement, and I also need a stable and easy-to-use system to control it."

"At the same time, I must sincerely thank you for your investment here. But there is one thing I still want to make clear to you, and I hope you can agree to this request."

There was a hint of prayer in Andrew's words.

"No problem, just say it." Chen Jianghai said cheerfully.

"It is very likely that the things I research will not bring you any income in the short term, and may even require you to invest five to one hundred thousand dollars unconditionally every month."

It has to be said that even across the phone line, Chen Jianghai could feel that Andrew was vaguely nervous after saying these words.

In fact, if anyone else came over and said this to Chen Jianghai, Chen Jianghai would definitely spit on him and regard him as a liar.

However, this is the famous Andrew, the founder of Android system.

Therefore, Chen Jianghai directly agreed to his request without thinking.

For him, Andrew's requirements are actually not high.

Once the Android system comes out and is firmly in your hands, the wealth it can bring is simply unimaginable.

Chen Jianghai has always been extremely generous when it comes to the projects that he likes. He simply said: "Okay, I will give you a research fund of one hundred thousand US dollars every month. You can go on the research with confidence, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

"Anyway, if you have any needs, just tell me directly. Not only funding issues but also research issues!"

"Although I can't give you professional and technical guidance, I am always paying attention to some of the more cutting-edge technologies, and I also have a lot of ideas and insights, which may be able to help you."
