Because it wasn't before Google ring the bell, Li Mu stayed in Boston for two more days.
For the past two days, he has been living in the hotel's presidential suite. Su Yingxue was picked up by the driver after class every day, and then returned to school by the driver the next day.
The Harvard school leader heard that he had come to Boston and insisted on inviting him to dinner together. Li Mu did not want to agree, but considering that Su Yingxue was still attending school here, he accepted the entertainment.
However, Li Mu did not invite the leaders of Harvard University to entertain him. Instead, he found a Michelin restaurant in downtown Boston, invited the leaders of Harvard University, and brought Su Yingxue together.
It is said that Huaxia people pay attention to human society, but in fact, Westerners are the same.
The Harvard school hopes to maintain a good relationship with Li Mu. Li Mu hopes that they will provide Su Yingxue with convenience as much as possible in the future.
These days in Boston is a rare relaxation since Li Mu ’s time. After meeting Mark Zuckerberg, he stopped working, eating and drinking every day, enjoying the two-person world in a foreign country with Su Yingxue, both physically and mentally. Get great relaxation.
However, Chen Ze was not so comfortable.
He lives alone in the hotel's luxurious suite, and is boring every day and is going crazy.
After a heavy snowfall in Boston, there was nothing he could do out of the cold, so he could only watch TV in the room for three days.
In his words, he doesn't speak English so well, he knows everything when watching TV, how boring and boring.
To leave Boston, Li Mu first returned Su Yingxue to Harvard, said goodbye to her, and then went to Boston Airport.
Boston is very close to New York, and the straight line distance is almost 300 kilometers. The flight time of a jet plane is even less than an hour.
It took off from Boston at two in the afternoon, and the plane landed in New York at three.
After the group arrived in New York, Larry Page and several other Google executives personally greeted the airport.
For Larry Page, the listing of Li Mu can come and ring the bell with himself, which is of great significance to both Google and himself.
Google's overall business at this stage is relatively simple. To make the market more confident in Google, it is inseparable from the platform of big names. At this stage, for Internet companies, Li Mu's platform is the best.
Larry Page even felt that it would be better if he could be invited to the bell ringing ceremony when Makino Technology rings the bell in the future.
...
In order to show his appreciation, Larry Page leased an Ambassador team from New York to give Li Mu the highest courtesy.
In a lengthened Lincoln car, Larry Page told Li Mu: "Mr. Li, the clock will be at 9:30 the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow evening, there will be a private small reception at your hotel. I do n’t know if you are interested in participating in the Internet industry and the big coffee in the capital circle. "
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes."
After speaking, Li Mu suddenly thought of one thing and asked Larry Page: "Larry, I want to accept a company that does navigation and satellite maps. Is there a good introduction?"
At this stage, Google has not launched a map business, and Li Mu has been wondering what his Internet resources can do for the future Makino Motors Group. In addition to Android and iOS can develop interactive entertainment systems for cars in the future, Li Mu also wants to Solve the car navigation problem.
Although there are only a few cars with LCD screens and even fewer with navigation systems, navigation services will be the most frequently used services by car owners in the future.
However, the difficulty of car navigation is almost a common feeling among car owners around the world. There are several main reasons for this:
First, the map of in-car navigation is backward and the upgrade cannot keep up;
Most car navigation data uses a navigation card, and the map is built into the SD card. This is completely offline navigation. Map updating is a very difficult problem. It is far from mobile phone navigation and can be updated at any time.
Second, the map services provided by automobile manufacturers are not sufficiently detailed, which is basically a mess, far less than the map services provided by Internet companies such as Google, Gaode and even Baidu;
Third, the information input of car navigation is a great disadvantage;
Most car navigation input relies on the scroll wheel, whether it is inputting English or Chinese pinyin, it takes a long time to input by the scroll wheel back and forth. For a few seconds on a mobile phone, it takes a few minutes to switch to car navigation. This step alone takes many users Stand outside the door
Fourth, the sound of car navigation will conflict with car audio, and many auto manufacturers do not do a good job of optimization issues;
If the car audio is listening to a song or a radio station, and the car navigation is turned on, the feeling of conflicting back and forth between the two sounds is very headache. Often the experience on both sides is poor, which is not comparable to mobile navigation, mobile navigation and car audio The sound is separated, and occasionally there are navigation prompts when listening to the song and they will not conflict with each other.
Li Mu believes that the three pain points of car navigation cannot be resolved, mainly because car manufacturers do not have the Internet gene, and there is no changer in the industry, and everyone is not thinking about progress.
In fact, there is no high cost to install an LCD screen in a car, and the configuration on the bright surface of the LCD screen is extremely user-friendly. Most users are willing to pay for it, and if the original factory does not have an LCD central control, Many users even pay for upgrades themselves.
And the cost of installing a gsm module for the car is not high, and it is not so difficult to connect the car to the Internet.
If you can acquire a navigation company, build a refined global navigation system based on GPS, embed this navigation system directly into your own vehicle central control assembly, and then do a good job of human-computer interaction, you can already lead the global car. The quotient was cut off.
If you put in the gsm module and communicate with local operators for a more preferential data service, not only can the car be connected to the network, but also the map data can be updated in real time. In that case, the vehicle's intelligence will be more intelligent than that of global car dealers. A lot ahead.
At this stage, mobile data service is still 2g, and the data cost seems to be relatively high, but in fact the operators have solved it well. At that time, Nokia had a game phone model nokiaqd. In order to facilitate qd users to download games, Nokia launched it with Huaxia Mobile. An unlimited traffic mobile phone card, in the 2g mode, only needs a dozen dollars per month. At that time, there were no 3g, 4g, and 5g. The speed of the unlimited traffic card was the same as that of other people, but the traffic cost was large. reduce.
This proves that the operators can completely talk about it.
If it ’s just the map update traffic, that ’s actually not a lot of traffic. In addition, you are also a big customer. If you are in China, you should be able to talk to the operator about the cost of less than 10 yuan per month.
At this stage, most auto manufacturers give a three-year warranty. By then, sending three years of data traffic by themselves will cost nothing more than two or three hundred yuan. However, this feature is here, even if all costs are added to the price of the car, then Increasing a portion of the profit margin is also completely acceptable to consumers.
As for the conflict between the navigation sound and the car audio, Li Mu feels that it is sufficient to have a very common high-frequency speaker built directly into the car navigation, so that this speaker faces the driving position, and it is dedicated to navigation alone.
The sound of car navigation is mainly to hear clearly, but experienced users know that if the bass is very heavy, the speaking sound is relatively muddy, and the tweeter without bass is the most friendly to human voice. Think about it carefully. The microphone sings ok, but the speech is relatively muddy, and there is a strong roar, but the large speakers without bass in the school, a broadcast voice is extremely clear.
This is why, the cheap radio speakers I listened to did not have bass, and listening to music was a mess, but the key to a good radio and storytelling experience.
Car audio is mainly for listening to music services. If the navigation sound is mixed, it will not only affect listening to songs but also navigation, and more importantly, it will affect the experience of passengers outside.
If a cheap tweeter is set up separately, the direction of the sound field is slanted towards the driver from the central control, the cost is low, but the benefits are many.
The first is to ensure that it does not affect the car ’s audio and music, the second to ensure that the driver can hear it clearly, and the third is to ensure that it does not affect other passengers.
If you don't use navigation, the tweeter is turned off without any impact.
As a result, the practicality of car navigation will be greatly improved.
It can definitely make the consumer experience a lot better than traditional cars.
Larry Page didn't know the specific idea of Li Mushou Navigation Company ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ But when he said that he wanted to accept such a company, he immediately said: "It is so coincident, President Li, I happen to have this idea too! We can do this together! "
Li Mu was surprised this time, and he asked blurtly, "Do you want to buy a navigation company?"
"Yeah!" Larry Page said: "We discussed before and wanted to add a map function to Google, but it was too much trouble to build a global map by ourselves, not only to rent satellites, buy map rights, but also invest A lot of surveying and mapping vehicles and surveying and mapping personnel, the time cost is too high, so we have the idea to acquire a satellite mapping company. "
Li Mu did not expect that Google was going to make Google Maps at this time, and could not help but ask, "Do you have any goals?"
"Here it is." Larry Page didn't hide Li Mu, and said immediately: "There is a map company in the United States called Keyhole, and we are preparing to communicate with them about the wholly-owned acquisition."
Li Mu asked in surprise: "Isn't keyhole a U.S. military reconnaissance satellite system? I wish I had seen it in military magazines ... the U.S. government allows you to buy it?"
"No," Larry Page said with a smile. "Although the company's name is keyhole, it's not the same as the US keyhole system."
Li Mu nodded and asked, "How strong is this company?"
"It's great," said Larry Page. "They not only have a strong data reserve, but also strong mapping and development capabilities. Their own is a set of protocols that can allow multiple users to collaborate and participate. This will create a future Satellite map products that are accessible to users around the world are significant. "
Li Mu instantly thought of a famous Google product: googleearth Google Earth.
It all turned out to be here!
