In Silicon Valley, after visiting more than a dozen high-end technology laboratories jointly established by Apple and Future Technology Group, Cai Ruichen and his party just walked out of the headquarters of Apple Group.

In the reception hall of the Apple headquarters, a person who surprised many people came to everyone, stopped Cai Ruichen, and said, "Mr. Cai, it's an honor to meet you here." ”

"Mr. Schmidt, it's really a surprise to see you here." Cai Ruichen stretched out his right hand and shook the small hand with the chairman of the Alpha Group who was blocking in front of him.

Schmidt, the former chairman of Google Group, served as the CEO of Google Group for more than ten years, and he also led the development of the Android platform and system.

It was under his leadership that when Jobs was exerting his strength, he was able to save the crisis of Google being surpassed by Apple, and I cracked Apple's monopoly position back then.

When Google Group reorganized related industries to form Alpha Group, Schmidt, the chairman, naturally became the chairman of Alpha Group.

At present, although Google is in a bad situation, Alpha Group is involved in various major high-tech industries, all of which are constantly suppressed by Future Technology Group, but in the United States and many countries, there is still a place for Alpha Group.

However, this is only barely able to maintain the position of Alpha Group, after the restructuring of Google, Alpha Group's daily profits in front of the future technology group have dropped from nearly 100 billion dollars to only a few billion dollars.

Alpha Group, the current annual turnover, is not even as good as the Sands Group, which has become Cai Ruichen's personal industry.

No matter what, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, in the field of high-tech industry, Alpha Group has indeed begun to try to catch up.

As long as it continues to catch up, Google is still expected to be able to break out of the encirclement under the sky of future technology groups with various venture capital projects over the years and its development potential in the field of technology.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen has never underestimated these outstanding entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, and he has never underestimated the world.

After all, Google currently has more than 100 highly confidential high-tech research projects, which are still in secret research and development, and the annual R&D investment is even increasing.

What people are most afraid of is not that they don't have a chance, but that they give up the opportunity.

Alpha Group is the kind of group that will never give up, and this is the confidence that has always been built from Google's corporate culture.

And Google's corporate culture has always made Cai Ruichen feel that this group is really not simple.

From one aspect alone, it is enough to make Cai Ruichen extremely admired.

That's when Schmidt was CEO of Google, and he instituted a work-to-work policy that was completely inconceivable to all businesses.

Every employee of the Google Group has two hours of free time every day during the prescribed working hours.

This is the time set aside within the regular working hours, and the minimum hourly wage for each employee within the Google Group is $16, which means that the Google Group pays these employees for two hours of work each day.

In an environment where bosses are demanding overtime, Google's decision is simply a kind of head-to-head show.

But Google succeeded, giving employees two hours of free time, not that employees could go home from work.

In between these two hours, every employee can do their favorite projects, do their favorite research and try.

At the same time, all employees form their own interest groups, and people with the same interests and hobbies are free to form together to develop and research interests.

If there is some progress in this project of interest and free development, you can even apply to the company for capital investment, and the company's internal equipment and research materials are also open to employees.

In this environment, Google Group's new corporate culture of innovation was immediately established.

Google's famous graphical search capabilities were born in such an environment, and it was also created by a Chinese American of the Google Group.

One or two successful projects can bring great economic benefits to Google, and it is totally worth it compared to giving employees two hours of free time.

It is also from this point that Schmidt has also become a person that Cai Ruichen admires a lot, after all, it is difficult for anyone to do it to such an extent.

It is even more impossible for a decision-maker without a mind and courage to make such a decision.

Therefore, although Cai Ruichen has been constantly suppressing the Alpha Group, he has no malice towards this opponent.

Struggle is inevitable, and the inevitable choice we face cannot be changed by the will of the commander.

In the reception hall of Apple's headquarters, Cook saw Schmidt and nodded friendlyly, the two groups are in Silicon Valley, and they have always been competitors, and they are already very familiar.

Regardless of corporate interests, both of them are people who like to create, so in addition to their identities, from the perspective of knowledge and creativity, the two have an extremely common language.

"Mr. Cai, it is not easy for you and I to meet in such a place." Schmidt sighed.

"It's really not easy, but I don't know if Mr. Schmidt is waiting for me here, is there something going on?" Cai Ruichen asked.

The Alpha Group is an important foreign aid for Israel, and last night he was ruthless to the Sands Group, and Schmidt came over, so naturally he really didn't just come here to chat with him.

"In front of everyone, you and I know very well that Alpha Group is a joint-stock group, although I am the chairman, but I don't own many shares, but there are some things, I can still call the shots. To be honest, I don't want to see my group fall victim to interests, the Alpha Group has too much funding and doesn't have much energy to intervene in other things.

But there are some things that are decided by the board of directors and I can't change anything alone. To be honest, I am very grateful to Mr. Cai for not killing every opponent, otherwise Alpha Group would not have room for development now. Therefore......"

Speaking of this, Schmidt paused, looked at Cai Ruichen without saying a word, and continued: "To be honest, I really don't want to see Alpha Group disappear, but I also need to give an explanation to the board of directors. ”

"Tell me about it." Cai Ruichen's face was expressionless, this time the target he came over was the Alpha Group, but he didn't expect Schmidt to have his current move. (To be continued.) )
