Chapter 2413 Struggle

But Johnson's voice sounded particularly clear, "If we let the media exaggerate by then, the products of a Chinese-owned company will have a very negative impact on our well-known American high-tech companies,"

"Then we think that Android will definitely attract resistance and even crusade from many people,"

"By that time, Feng Yiping will definitely consider his other businesses in the United States, such as the currently popular Facebook, YouTube and NEXTDOOR,"

"What can he do then?" Johnson explained their routine clearly in a few words, preparing to end with a rhetorical question.

"He will let his other companies, like Tesla, accept everyone's investment," Jobs could answer his question without him having to say anything.

Not only that, he now understood why Johnson said he was asked to help.

Johnson didn't hear the irony in Jobs' words and laughed again, "Yes, haha, look Steve, it's that simple."

They have really been coveting Feng Yiping's business in the United States for a long time. However, not only is Feng Yiping not short of money, but he will always get involved in a pioneering field at the most appropriate time, and soon Success.

Although Yahoo, for example, has tried to develop social and online video businesses before, it has failed long ago, and it can be said that it has not left even a trace.

Therefore, starting from NEXTDOOR, Feng Yiping's company has become a real pioneer in the social field in the United States. At the same time, he has also launched new business formats such as group buying and reviews.

As for Facebook later, it further consolidated their foundation in the social field and further increased their advantages in this field.

So in the social field, the current model is the same as theirs. There are no slightly influential companies. Even if they want to arrange attacks, they can't find anyone.

Besides, such an arrangement must at least be acceptable. It is impossible for a startup company that has just been established, has substandard products, and has few users to stand up and appeal to the public's sentiments to denounce Facebook.

That only adds to the laughter.

No matter how they want to use various means to make themselves the major shareholders of Feng Yiping Company, they still have to talk about the principles.

Or at least, a plausible cover is still needed.

The United States was founded on commerce, so the concept of safeguarding legitimate commercial interests has firmly penetrated into the very fabric of the United States.

All businessmen will not sit back and watch such childish behavior. No matter how greedy or short-sighted they are, they all know that no matter what the reason, such a precedent cannot be set.

Otherwise, who knows whether it will be their turn next? Who knows if their company will be robbed by similar means in the future?

It has to be said that it is indeed safer to do business in the United States, because only when the two countries are at war, they will dispose of the enemy's companies in the United States in accordance with the wartime act.

In peacetime, as long as you legally establish a company in the United States and operate it legally, confiscation will never happen.

After Putin took office, he dealt with Khodorkovsky, the former richest man in Russia, a well-known oligarch, and the owner of the Yukos oil company, which not only attracted protests from Western countries led by the United States, but also from many well-known Western companies.

In addition to the political intentions behind it, the reason why those companies protested must also be because they felt that they were harming others. After all, most of the assets of Yukos Oil Company were accepted by Russian state-owned companies, which was confiscated.

Not only were people arrested, but the company was also confiscated... This can be said to be a nightmare for all businessmen, so they actively followed the government to express their opposition.

By extension, the well-known companies in the United States, without exception, are all multinationals. They will not allow a small and inconspicuous company in the country to stir up public sentiment and boycott a company that has achieved an absolute advantage in its industry. , but a company whose person in charge is a foreigner.

Because if they do that, their companies in other countries around the world will be targeted in the same way.

What's more, from a legal point of view, Feng Yiping's companies in the United States are all authentic American companies. Starting from the investors, the main shareholder is an investment company registered in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

And the heads of his various companies in the United States are, without exception, all Americans.

Only those who oppose and denounce him are companies as powerful as Apple, which can even be said to represent American high-tech enterprises, and have room to maneuver.

The feeling that this gives to the American people may be the same as when the Empire State Building was bought by the Japanese. They don't care that it is a normal business transaction. With a little push, their emotions can burst into flames...

Another point is that if they want to realize their plan, one factor that must be considered is Feng Yiping's reputation.

Whether in the American business community, academia, or in the minds of ordinary Americans, Feng Yiping has always been a positive inspirational idol. His experience has given many people a very positive inspiration.

Even top bosses like Steve Jobs were somewhat impressed by Feng Yiping after visiting Wuli'ao.

He is truly a genius who cannot fault much and has what can be said to be noble pursuits.

Therefore, only when people like Steve Jobs come forward can they be equal enough and be convincing...

Johnson and his team had been at a loss because it seemed that Feng Yiping had a good relationship with well-known American high-tech companies, not to mention Google, which was almost a family with him. Others, including Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, Amazon, etc., had good relations.

The relationship with eBay was average before, but their business did not conflict with eBay much, so they could not use it even if they wanted to.

Others, whether HP, Cisco, Intel or Dell, had no intersection with Feng Yiping's current main business.

So, when they heard about the impact that Android might have on Apple, they were really overjoyed. There was really no better opportunity than this!

"With your and Apple's help, we will definitely achieve our goal, although the specific operation requires a lot of skills,"

The so-called skills mean that they must firmly control the relevant rhythm. It is best to let the American people focus their anger on Android instead of involving companies that they envy, such as Facebook, YouTube, and NEXTDOOR.

Because their fundamental purpose is to invest in a company that will bring high returns. If those companies are affected, it will be more harm than good.

Moreover, they should be careful to hide themselves. Otherwise, even if Feng Yiping is forced to actively attract American investors for those companies, he will definitely not give them any chance to force him. After all, there are too many American companies that want to invest in Feng Yiping.

They will not do such stupid things to help others.

"But the most important point is that only companies like Apple can provide us with such opportunities," Johnson said, "So Steve, my old friend, we are really looking for your help,"

Jobs did not hide his emotions and said coldly, "I don't want to and will not participate in such activities,"

He did not hate Wall Street as much as the two Googlers, but how could he cooperate with Johnson and others to implement such a plan?

No matter how his relationship with Feng Yiping was, he did not have the time and energy to do such a thing.

"Besides, I don't know if your plan has considered Feng's possible response plan. Everyone knows that he is a genius with a much better vision than us."

"Why do you wishfully think that he will follow your pace obediently?"

His words made Johnson a little happy again. He has begun to consider the specific implementation? Doesn't this mean that Jobs is considering the possibility of cooperation?

In other words, he is just weighing the pros and cons now.

"Steve, we naturally analyzed his possible response measures. Our team has analyzed his possible response plans one by one. After careful prediction, we concluded that no matter how he responds, his identity makes his achievements in the United States seem to be built on sand."

"In the end, he can only go one way, that is to accept our investment,"

Jobs shook his head, "I still think you are too optimistic, Johnson, have you dealt with Feng?"

Johnson paused. This is a topic that makes him very regretful.

He has always wanted to deal with Feng Yiping, but he has never given him this opportunity.

"Haha, no, but I think we know him well enough and deeply enough,"

"I wouldn't say that," Jobs looked at the computer, his mind was really confused now, "If you have had contact with Feng, you will understand that you think you know him well, that's just your illusion,"

"He will always exceed your expectations,"

"Otherwise, why do so many people say he is a genius?"

"Good luck to you, Johnson," Jobs was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait Steve," Johnson said hurriedly, "Anyway, you have to admit that this is a very beneficial plan for Apple, isn't it?"

"According to our plan, the negative impact of Android on Apple will be minimized, right?"

"Also, I don't mean anything else by saying this. You probably have analyzed the current situation. Let's put it this way, if you and Feng's fund want to get back all the returns you deserve, you will still face some difficulties,"

"But we can guarantee that you will get all the returns. Haha, we have been friends for many years, right,"

Jobs couldn't help but feel a little sick when he heard his laughter.

It was the first time that he clearly and intuitively realized the undisguised greed of these people.

"...If possible, we will discuss the relevant arrangements with you in person,"

After ending the call, Jobs stood up, "Shameless! Shameless!" He walked around the office.

But, the conditions they mentioned... He rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought by the window.
