Dobobull and Jimmy had a chance encounter. Jimmy met Dobobull when he went to Bezos's office to look for Bezos. At that time, Dobobull was still working at Intel. It took such a long time for both parties to meet him.
There has been no contact between them, so when Jimmy suddenly contacted Doberbul, Doberbul was very surprised.
But Doberbul understood that Jimmy couldn't have anything else to do with him, it was just about chips, because the only thing he had here was chips, which was the most useful thing.
Doberbul's guess was very accurate. Jimmy was indeed here for the chip. Jimmy knew how good Doberbul's technology was and how high his reputation was. He came to him this time because he wanted him to create a new
studio to assist Blue Star Company in developing chips.
The two chatted for a long time in Dobobul's office and finally agreed on the terms. Dobobul agreed to enter Blue Star Sky and recruit a team specializing in chip development for the company. Dobobul confidently told Jimmy that he would give
In two months, he could recruit at least thirty top engineers.
When other people say this, Jimmy may think that the other person is bragging, but it is different when it comes from Doberbul. In fact, Jimmy thinks that Doberbul said he would recruit thirty top engineers in two months.
All have been conservative.
Jimmy believes that as long as Doberbul is willing and starts calling now, he can get thirty engineers before dark. In fact, there is no need to take the initiative to recruit. All he needs to do is go back and announce the fact that Blue Star has recruited Doberbul to the company.
Go out, and there will definitely be a large number of people who will take the initiative to contact Doberbul.
The reason why Doberbul said two months was, on the one hand, to leave some transition time for those engineers to resign. On the other hand, he was not completely sure that the blue starry sky was a good destination. In two months, he could feel it well.
Let’s take a look at what Blue Starry is like as a company and whether it can really give them what they want.
If during the two-month observation process, he finds that Blue Star Sky has no development prospects, he can quit early and decisively while not hiring many people, without losing too much time and energy.
This time, what impressed Doberbul was not only the salary and option reward system, but also Blue Star’s future strategic thinking.
Blue Star Sky's strategic thinking is very clear. When the new company is established, it will first digest the legacy of 3dfx, then focus on smartphone chips, and at the same time actively develop game console chips. As for the PC market, they have no idea at the moment.
This kind of strategic thinking is particularly suitable for Blue Starry Sky. Although Blue Starry Sky is a new company separate from Deep Space Company, it is still Jimmy's company after all, so the resources of the two companies are actually common.
Deep Space Group's current main businesses include the Internet, film and television, games and mobile phones.
BenQ Mobile is developing well now. If the new company can create a low-power, high-performance chip for BenQ Mobile, it will not only help BenQ Mobile enter the smartphone market, but also ensure the shipment volume of Blue Star chips.
As for games, although Deep Space Company does not have many console games, it has a relatively good relationship with several game manufacturers. It also has games if it wants to develop related chips.
The most important thing is that competition in the field of mobile phone chips is still relatively small, and it is easy for them to achieve results.
After discussing the cooperation, Doberbul asked with a smile while holding a cup of coffee, "Actually, I'm a little curious. Since you want to make smartphones, why don't you join the big Symbian family? Is BenQ Mobile planning to develop its own mobile phones?"
Operating system? I haven’t heard any news about it.”
Almost everyone knows that BenQ Mobile is making smartphones. After all, in today’s world, no major mobile phone manufacturer does not want to make smartphones. Companies such as Motorola and Ericsson are all vying to produce smartphones.
, the purpose is very simple, it is to win the smartphone market as early as possible and occupy a favorable position.
Everyone knows that smartphones are the future direction of mobile phones, but now people have different judgments on smartphones, so there are all kinds of smartphones on the market, and there will be more weird smartphones.
.
Especially a few years later, when the smartphone market was growing wildly, it was really a chaotic mess, and basically every well-known company was making mobile phones.
Those who originally made air conditioners, made mobile phones, those who originally made TVs, made mobile phones, those who originally made computers, made mobile phones, and those who originally made video software also made mobile phones. No matter what they were doing, they focused on the mobile phones.
BenQ Mobile has developed so well in the past two years, and they are backed by Shenzhen Space Company and have Internet advantages, so they will make smartphones. Smartphones are definitely the main development direction of BenQ Mobile, and they must put Dongdong in
inside the mobile phone.
Since last year, companies have successively invited BenQ Mobile to join the Symbian family. Especially at the beginning of this year, Motorola has talked to Jimmy many times and wanted to persuade BenQ Mobile to join it, but Jimmy declined.
.
Because BenQ Mobile is unwilling to join the Symbian family, people outside are speculating that BenQ Mobile or their parent company will develop a mobile operating system.
Why Shen Kong is said to be BenQ Mobile's grandma is because BenQ Mobile's parent company is BenQ Dentsu, and BenQ Dentsu's parent company is Shen Kong. My mother's mother is my grandma.
Although the outside world is speculating that Deep Space Company will develop a mobile operating system, Deep Space Company has not revealed any information at all. It stands to reason that if a company wants to develop a mobile operating system, it must set up a dedicated R&D team. Mobile operating system
It's impossible to escape out of thin air.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But until now, there is no news that Deep Space Company has formed a research and development team related to mobile operating systems. And if it is really making a smart phone system, it will
There's nothing bad to say.
Faced with Dobobul's doubts, Jimmy smiled and said, "Don't worry, after the child is born, there will always be clothes to wear. When BenQ Mobile's smartphone comes out, it will not be said that there is no system for it. This point,
Don’t worry.”
Seeing Jimmy speaking so confidently, Doberbul became even more convinced that Deep Space Company was developing a mobile operating system, but it was doing so covertly that outsiders didn't know about it.
Just like they helped 3dfx tide over the difficulties at the end of the year before last, and finally acquired 3dfx, but no one knew about it for such a long time.
Maybe Jimmy and the others acquired an inconspicuous company somewhere but with core technology. One day a long time later, this company suddenly jumped out and released a mobile operating system, and then BenQ Mobile was the first to respond, using
This mobile phone operating system... this possibility completely exists.
In fact, many companies are doing this kind of thing. Those big companies don't acquire a few companies every year for fun, both big and small. Sometimes they will publicize the companies they acquired, but sometimes they will hide it from the outside world.
Many times, these small companies that were bought have been bankrupted, and the public is not aware of it.
"I'm suddenly looking forward to the day when BenQ Mobile comes out with a smartphone," Doberbul said with a smile.
Jimmy laughed, "It won't be too far away, don't worry, especially with your joining, this day will come earlier."
Doberbul raised the coffee cup in his hand, "Then I hope our cooperation can be happy."
Jimmy also raised the coffee cup in his hand, "Definitely."
…
On August 10, Deep Space announced a new piece of news: Blue Star had acquired Intrinsity for US$15 million and invited legend Doberbull in the chip industry to join Blue Star.
As soon as this news came out, the news media became lively again, but this time it was different from last time. This time many people were asking what kind of company Intrinsity was and why it was worth the Deep Space Company to spend 15 million US dollars to acquire it.
Although the mergers and acquisitions of deep space companies during this period were worth hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, at first glance, the acquisition of 15 million US dollars is very small, but in fact, for ordinary acquisitions, the cash can reach up to
Ten million US dollars is already very impressive.
And yet almost no one has heard of such a company worth fifteen million US dollars.
Intrinsity's presence is indeed low. They have gone through many twists and turns, and they have not been re-established for a long time. Moreover, they have not released any new products in the period since their re-establishment.
However, there are still capable people in the media industry. After the news came out in the morning, the media in the afternoon exposed the situation of Intrinsity Company, including the fact that they used to work for Apple, but were later abandoned by Apple and had to go bankrupt.
Out.
In addition to intrinsics, there are also some people who pay more attention to Doberbul. There is no need for Doberbul to recruit him personally. Many of Doberbul's old subordinates and old friends have said that they can resign at any time as long as Doberbul agrees.
In my current job, I will work hard with him in the blue starry sky.
…
On the same day, the global box office of "Source Code" exceeded 200 million US dollars, of which 140 million US dollars were contributed by the North American box office. There will be several important ticket warehouses in the future. The global box office of "Source Code"
It may eventually exceed US$300 million.
This time "Source Code" was a hit at the box office. Naturally, the actor who benefited the most from the movie was Louis Koo. After the movie was released, he has been invited to star in several Hollywood movies.
Among the many films for which Louis Koo was found, the one with the most investment was "The Day After Tomorrow". The production cost was tentatively estimated at US$12.5 billion, but he found a classmate who played not the protagonist, but the male protagonist.
Because he is not the protagonist, Deep Space Company has not agreed to it for the time being. Deep Space Company hopes to let Gu Tianzhu play the male lead, because the role of the young male protagonist's classmate in "The Day After Tomorrow" is not very large, and it would be difficult to change it to more.
The producer didn't mind having a Chinese-American play the male lead, but the script had already been written, so it was still very troublesome to change the important role to a Chinese-American.
In fact, Louis Koo is not young anymore. He is thirty-two years old this year. If calculated based on his age, he does not have a suitable role in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow".
The two main male characters in the movie, one is a meteorologist and the other is the son of a meteorologist. One is in his forties and the other is in his teens and twenties.
But if Louis Koo doesn't have a tan, he looks no different from a twenty-year-old boy in Europe and the United States, so he can still play the role of the male protagonist.
But the main problem is that if Louis Koo is to play the son, the meteorologist, and the meteorologist's wife, they have to be changed to Asian. You can't say that two serious Americans can give birth to an Asian.
.Or maybe the change is a little bit outrageous, but not that outrageous, and directly change the young male protagonist into an adopted son.
But obviously, the other party doesn't want to give up his role easily, so I call it ancestor Ji De.
When "Source Code" is about to be released in North America, a new movie from Deep Space Corporation is released.
"The Bourne Supremacy", which started filming the year before last, has been delayed several times by audiences, and finally met with audiences in North America and Germany on August 14th.
It is a pity that Ludlum, the original author of "The Bourne Identity", the original novel of "The Bourne Supremacy", passed away in the first half of last year and did not have the chance to see "The Bourne Identity" made into a movie.
As an action blockbuster, the cost of "The Bourne Supremacy" is already quite low, only 60 million US dollars.
Some people may not believe it, but the cost of "The Bourne Supremacy" was so low. You must know that its leading actor is currently a popular actor, and he got everything with "The Martian".
The reason why the investment cost of "The Bourne Supremacy" is relatively low is because Matt Damon's salary is also relatively low, and the reason why it is so low is because when "The Bourne Supremacy" signed actors, Matt Damon had already
We have already signed a contract with Deep Space Company.
At that time, "The Martian" and "The Bourne Supremacy" almost looked for Matt Damon. At that time, Matt Damon was still a budding but not well-known actor. Of course, there were not many people who could get such a good opportunity.
I thought, so I signed both film contracts directly.
The initial publicity of "The Bourne Supremacy" was relatively good, and there are basically no competitors at this time of release, so there are more films scheduled. The box office in the first week was very good, and it directly took over 30 million US dollars.
This first-week box office was much better than "Source Code", but "Source Code" had many competitors, including "Spider-Man" which was still in theaters at the time.
The performance of "Spider-Man" this year is so strong that even in July, the aftershocks of the movie will greatly affect the box office of other movies.
