Chapter 2420 Another Wave

After hearing this, Feng Yiping actually laughed, "Built on sand? Steve, I don't understand what's so strange about this. Our city, our entire Silicon Valley, is built on sand!"

Jobs was immediately choked by his words. Indeed, Silicon Valley is built on sand, isn't it? Silicon is sand, but, "What's your attitude?" He looked at Feng Yiping with a squint.

It was not easy for him to say this to remind Feng Yiping. He could actually just sit on the sidelines and watch those vampires and parasites on Wall Street deal with Feng Yiping.

Or take action at the right time to gain more benefits for himself and Apple.

That is the best choice a businessman and business leader should make.

But the charm of life is that many times, we just don't choose the best choice.

The same is true for Jobs. Although Johnson analyzed it very thoroughly for him, he thought about it again and again in the past two days, and finally felt that no matter what, he couldn't stand idly by or help the evil in this process.

This is not to say that he is so noble, but that Feng Yiping's previous efforts have worked. After all, people are all made of flesh and blood.

Especially when Feng Yiping sat down just now, the fatigue and faint sadness on his face shocked him a little.

He should really treat himself as a friend without any preconditions.

So he would have such a reaction after being questioned by himself.

Secondly, it must be said that Lawrence Fink's unsuccessful threat successfully stimulated Jobs.

If Johnson had negotiated with Jobs at the beginning and clearly stated that they were here to seek Jobs' help, and then analyzed the pros and cons of Jobs's actions, Jobs might really accept it.

But how could he accept the threat?

Moreover, although Johnson's attitude was much more correct than Lawrence's, he called Lawrence right after him, clearly wanting to use his power to pressure others.

How could Jobs succumb to this?

Finally, it must be said that after so many years of interaction, Jobs knew that Feng Yiping's thinking was more meticulous than most people.

Feng Yiping could not be unprepared for the problems that Lawrence and others could find.

Frankly speaking, if Feng Yiping was as easy to deal with as Lawrence and others thought, then Jobs would not regard him as a friend.

Feng Yiping spread his hands, "Sorry, Steve, I don't quite understand what you mean,"

Jobs looked at him deeply, "You are a Chinese after all," he said.

This sentence has a lot of meaning, but Feng Yiping understands what he means.

It is naturally not his turn to comment on the relationship between countries, but he knows very well that although China and the United States have always been strategic partners, especially after 9/11, the relationship between the two countries has been further deepened.

But the mainstream between the two countries will still be competition, and if things go wrong, there will be confrontation.

In any case, China and the United States are not allies.

He is a Chinese, but his several companies in the United States have developed very well, so well that many people will be jealous, which naturally contains some risks.

He thought for a while, "Wall Street came to you?"

Jobs was stunned for a long time, "How do you know?"

He suspected that Feng Yiping had tapped his phone or planted someone around him.

But think about it, those are not realistic.

So this can only be his analysis, but, so fast? This seems a bit unrealistic.

"So, is it true?" Feng Yiping frowned.

Seeing that Jobs was still somewhat puzzled, he explained, "I just ruled it out,"

"I know that my development in the United States will have risks. These risks may come from policies, but the policy risks are relatively low because the economic dependence between China and the United States is indeed increasing,"

"Besides, from a realistic perspective, the United States' investment in China is far greater than China's investment in the United States, so the greater risk can only come from the private side,"

"And the biggest possibility in the private side will only be my competitors, but frankly speaking, if you count competitors, it is only Google and you,"

"Google will not do this, at least you haven't done it yet, so the only ones left are those who are not in competition with me but hope to make profits from me,"

"Because there is definitely no one who is unhappy with me simply because I am Chinese, so he will spend huge financial and material resources to target me. After all, it is not easy to target me, isn't it?"

Especially in a highly commercialized society like the United States, it is naturally not easy to target super-rich people like Feng Yiping.

There is no benefit, and Feng Yiping has not done anything harmful to the world. Who would be bored enough to target him?

"Then this is very indicative. Apart from Tesla, my major projects in the United States, such as Facebook, have not accepted foreign investment. I know that some people on Wall Street have been unhappy about this. So, they hope to take this opportunity to target me?"

"Speaking of which, some of them do have reasons and the ability to target me,"

Jobs looked at Feng Yiping for a long time, "I did receive a call from Wall Street,"

Feng Yiping's quick reaction surprised him. He also felt that Johnson and the others were obviously too optimistic about Feng Yiping's reaction.

At this time, he thought of Yahoo and Chief Yang.

Although he had too much to complain about the current Yahoo and Chief Yang, he felt that Chief Yang was indeed quite discerning.

As for Feng Yiping's ability to peel off the cocoon today, Chief Yang's move that was said to be very irrational at that time, that is, asking Feng Yiping if he was interested in being the CEO of Yahoo, fully illustrates his vision.

Jobs thought to himself that he did not have Feng Yiping's ability.

"Haha, it turns out they really want to cause trouble," Feng Yiping actually laughed.

"Their purpose is very clear, which is to take the opportunity to force my popular projects to accept their investment,"

"You're not worried. You don't need to think about countermeasures immediately and make preparations immediately?" Jobs said.

“For those guys on Wall Street, I just have a New York gesture (New Yorkers’ favorite is the middle finger) that I want to give them,” Feng Yiping said.

"Is this useful?" Jobs said coldly.

Feng Yiping glanced at him. He was sure that Jobs was on his side at this time. "I know where they might start,"

"Cummins went to DC two days ago. In addition to contacting some people, he was also helping me make appointments with some people,"

"So you were already prepared," Jobs said suddenly, but then his face turned a little ugly, "But you just found out about this, so why did you ask Cummins to go to DC to prepare two days ago?"

Feng Yiping looked at him.

Anger appeared on Jobs' face again, "Are you targeting us?"

It seems that Cummins went to DC immediately after making that phone call to him. What does this mean?

This shows that Feng Yiping is worried that he and Apple will attack him in this regard.

"Please Steve, I'm not targeting you, I'm just guarding you,"

"Of course I believe you, but I have to be fully prepared, right?"

"You also said that as business leaders, we need to be responsible for the interests of our respective companies,"

He changed the topic as he said, "Now it seems that it is necessary for me to go to Wall Street."

"It just so happens that regarding the credit default swaps we purchased, it is indeed time to have a good communication with some of these companies,"

Of course, just like this, it still seemed a little insufficient. He tapped his fingers on the chair and considered other methods.

"Steve, if possible, can you tell me who are the guys who are planning to do harm to me? You can also give me a hint,"

Just as Jobs was about to speak, his cell phone rang, "Wait a minute,"

He answered the phone and listened to only one sentence, his face became stern again, and he looked at Feng Yiping again as before, with eyes like sharp swords.

He hung up the phone, threw his iPhone on the sofa, and walked around the room like a trapped animal. "You actually recruited so many employees from the original iPhone R&D team,"

"What do you want to do?"

"You still said you didn't betray? You also said you didn't premeditate?"
