Chapter 2470: Bad News One After Another

Although he was still quite confident in front of Lawrence Fink, in fact, Edward Johnson was as frustrated as Fink at this time.

He also knew that it was not Fink's fault for being a bad mouth. The main reason was that the target of their plot was too powerful, extraordinary.

Johnson closed his eyes and tried his best to calm himself down. He reviewed the plan that seemed perfect and impeccable when it was formulated from beginning to end.

He wanted to know why things had developed to such a helpless situation now?

When he opened his eyes again, he felt that he had found the answer.

The mistake was that in order to attract the attention of many American people from the beginning, mainly disgust, they decided to use Jobs.

The mistake was that they knew the relationship between Feng Yiping, Apple and Jobs, and thought they could successfully alienate Jobs and Feng Yiping and make Apple the vanguard of their plan.

The mistake was that they thought they knew Jobs very well, but in the end they found out that it was not.

He was a madman who looked grumpy even in old age, but in fact, he might have softened his heart.

Of course, more importantly, Feng Yiping managed the relationship between them too well, or simply put, he really had some unreserved intentions.

Thinking about the fund established by Feng Yiping, Johnson couldn't help but sigh. If he saw such an opportunity, he would never bring other people in to work together.

Similarly, if his closest friends saw such an opportunity, they would definitely not count him in. On the contrary, they would probably keep him secret.

Because of Jobs's non-cooperation, because Jobs took the initiative to provide relevant information to Feng Yiping, then everything went wrong.

That guy obviously guessed the means they were going to use very quickly, and then, one by one, he disintegrated the forces they were originally going to rely on...

At this moment, the cunning Johnson couldn't help but praise: Feng Yiping is indeed Feng Yiping!

No wonder Google agreed to his investment and let him serve as strategic director. This young man is not only accurate, but also far-sighted. Even he admits that he is far inferior to him.

Not only that, Feng Yiping's ability to respond is also first-class.

Johnson believes that if they hadn't plotted, Feng Yiping would not have made a big fuss about Tesla to force those guys on Capitol Hill to express their support for Android first.

At the same time, for this reason, he believes that Tesla will definitely get the best conditions no matter which state it builds a factory in the future. After all, no state wants to be messed up like this again.

He also believes that if it weren't for their plot, this Android conference would not have been as large as it is now...

So, in this way, it was actually them who pushed Feng Yiping to take a series of actions that were beneficial to Tesla and Android, so what the hell did we do? ...

Johnson thought about it for a long time in the office, but didn't think of any solution, but made himself more and more irritated.

At this time, he heard someone knocking on the door of the office. It was him who was irritable and called out impatiently, "Come in."

When he saw the person coming in, his eyes softened a little. It was his daughter, Abigail Johnson, who he had trained as his successor and was already well-known in the asset management circle.

Abigail's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to his. She had short hair over her ears and wore a black suit. She looked smarter and neater than him.

But when Johnson saw his favorite daughter today, he couldn't help thinking, if Abigail could be as good as Feng Yiping, how good would that be?

Abigail didn't know that her father was disliking her at this time. She looked a little solemn, "Dad, you have to see this."

Johnson took his daughter's iPhone and took a look. His thoughts were a little complicated. Oh, YouTube.

He clicked the play button and watched it for only a few seconds. Immediately, his face became more and more ugly.

The content of this video is not much different from the news on TV that Lawrence asked him to watch earlier. The heads of the nine media are still standing on the stage, but the scene has been replaced with the Google logo, and the host is also Google CEO Schmidt.

However, the content of this press conference is the speeches of both the host and the guest, which is exactly the same as the previous Facebook press conference.

"Just held," Abigail said.

Even in front of his daughter, Johnson really couldn't help cursing at this time, WTF? How could this happen?

He also knew that because of Feng Yiping, although Google and Facebook have already been competing, the relationship between the two sides is very well coordinated.

But in any case, it shouldn't be so harmonious. Holding a press conference with the same content with the same group of people, are they still competitors?

No matter how you look at it, it has some meaning of acting in concert.

He believes that the reason why the two companies made such a move at this time must have a deep meaning.

He also estimated that this deep meaning is likely to be for himself and his companions.

Feng Yiping and his company are already difficult to deal with. Add to that Google, the company with the highest market value in the Internet field, and the situation where one plus one equals two makes it naturally even more difficult to deal with.

Johnson was very depressed at this time. He couldn't find the right words to describe his mood. He just didn't understand why such bad news came one after another.

“The most immediate impact, the media that is expected to respond by then, is that there will be a significant reduction,” Abigail said.

This is an easy conclusion to draw.

Because all media will be very afraid of Google.

If you think about it, you will understand that if you offend Google, it is very likely that users will not be able to search for the news published by their company on Google. At this time, don't expect Google's "don't be evil", since it is a company , first and foremost, of course, we must protect the interests of shareholders, and Feng Yiping is one of Google's major shareholders.

And really speaking, he was passively fighting back.

"I just spoke to Fink on the phone and the media has already informed him of the decision," Abigail added.

Johnson couldn't help but sigh, this would be really troublesome!

"And, Dad," Abigail glanced at her father who looked tired and looked very ugly.

When Johnson saw his daughter like this, he instinctively wanted to tell her to stop talking like he did to Lawrence before.

Because from the look of her daughter, it was obvious that what she was going to say next was definitely not good news.

However, there was nothing he could do to stop what was coming. "What else?" he asked with a frown.

"We have just received a report from the China office, and they have also just received a notice from the regulatory authorities. Due to the relationship with U.S. subprime mortgages, in order to ensure the safety of our customers' funds, they hope that our office can proactively report the relevant situation,"

"What?" Johnson couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.

Like all multinational companies, the Chinese market is a market that the asset management industry cannot miss at any cost. Therefore, in June 2004, Fidelity established their first office in China on the bank of the Huangpu River.

“Right now it’s just about us reporting proactively,” Abigail stressed.

Johnson understood the meaning of this very well, that is, the next step might not be as simple as taking the initiative to report.

"Another company..." Johnson had just said something when his secretary hurriedly knocked on the door and walked in, "Urgent news from a Chinese company,"

Johnson took the piece of paper, glanced at it, and handed it to Abigail, "Look, news from the other company is here too,"

Abigail took it and saw that it was the message from their second company in China, Fidelity International located on the coast of the Bohai Sea. They had just received the same notification.

Abigail didn't ask, "What should we do?" She just held the piece of paper in her hand and silently looked at her father who walked to the window.

Fidelity is currently the only two companies in China. It just so happens that something like this happened at this time. No matter how you look at it, this does not look like an accident.

I have long heard that Feng Yiping's influence in China is extraordinary, and it turns out that it is indeed extraordinary.

"He's... asking us to take a stand," Johnson whispered.

However, the other party's reason is really impeccable at this time.

At this time, the phone on the table rang again, "Sir, Mr. Fink's phone number,"

"Come in," Johnson said immediately, "Hey Lawrence,"

"It sounds like you know everything you need to know?" Lawrence Fink said.

"yes,"

"No," Fink sighed. "I just received a call from the person at State Street. Although he has tried his best, it is impossible for State Street to provide us with any support, even in name."

Johnson hung up the phone dejectedly. It seems to be particularly cold in Boston today?

He has no desire to communicate with others now, because he has heard enough bad news today...
