Chapter 2994 On-Site Class

Toronto, Canada.

In mid-May, the temperature in this southernmost metropolis in Canada was good enough to make Feng, the richest man, feel quite comfortable.

Especially the bright sunshine and the green fields made the whole world lively and cheerful.

Watching him chatting and laughing with everyone in the car, Mayer had no doubt that if it was two months earlier, he would probably stay in New York at most and would not bother to go north.

Or, just stay in Silicon Valley and wait for everyone.

She knew that the gray winter would always make him feel a little depressed.

The bus gradually approached the Nortel campus. Feng Yiping looked out and suddenly said, "Stop for a while."

The driver did not ask any reason and immediately turned off the engine and stopped.

Mayer looked ahead and there was no one.

But he could see some people waiting in front of the Nortel headquarters building.

Old Ma also looked around and there was nothing wrong. Why stop?

"Go down and take a walk?" Feng Yiping stood up and walked down first.

Mayer immediately stood up as well.

Let’s not talk about the others. Although Feng Yiping’s tone was inquiring, who in the car could refuse?

Everyone saw him walk to the Nortel sign and stop. It was a tall rectangular block, the same blue as the sky, and the name of Nortel on it was the same white as the white clouds. Although simple, it was very imposing.

I have to say that this should be a design that even Jobs would think was good.

This was the first thought that Jeff Williams, Apple’s vice president of operations in charge of this bidding, had when he saw the sign.

Of course, this thought only flashed by, and he immediately focused his attention on the large group of people, especially Feng Yiping?

Why did he come in person?

For such a thing, you don’t need to do it in person.

“Call,” he told the assistant who was still looking at the convoy parked next to him, probably wondering why someone stopped here.

“Ah?” The assistant was stunned. What call?

Williams had already opened the car door, walked over there with a smile, and said happily, "Feng, I didn't expect to see you here!"

The assistant was shocked. Feng Yiping was here too?

He looked over there, quickly took out his phone, and quietly contacted Cook's office.

At this time, Williams was getting more and more shocked. Cummins, who had been in charge of mergers and acquisitions, didn't say anything, and Rubin didn't say anything, but Mayer was here too?

And this impressive Asian face, oh, Jack Ma.

Standing quietly, the former Treasury Secretary Paulson, the former Attorney General who had just joined, and Michael Mukasey, whose hair was all white, but whose eyes were shining when he raised his eyes.

Mike, Zuckerberg, and Sandberg of Facebook, Evan Williams, Bizstone, and Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Randolph of YouTube, Hastings of Netflix, Eberhard of Tesla, Warren East of ARM, and Seifert of Qimonda...

There were also those men and women who looked familiar but could not name them for the time being, but seemed to be of the same level. His smile became brighter and brighter, but he kept muttering in his heart, what is this?

Do you want to move your North American headquarters to the Nortel plant in front, or do you want to buy all of Toronto?

It can't be that this is your spring outing!

"Feng, I think I can go back to Silicon Valley," he said with a smile, "You are here, where else will we have a chance,"

For such a not-so-important project, you not only invited yourself to come, but also brought all the executives you can bring, so don't bring such bullying people, okay.

"I'm just here to take a look around," Feng Yiping said.

Take a look around? Williams looked at the people around Feng Yiping. If I remember correctly, this is the first time you have taken so many executives to leave Silicon Valley.

"Besides, William," Feng Yiping smiled, "this is a bidding, the highest bidder wins. We all know that Apple now holds more than 50 billion US dollars in cash,"

"If you all go home, we can't afford it,"

Jeff Williams wanted to curl his lips. Who wants to compete with you for more money?

Or, do we have to invest all our cash for Nortel's more than 6,000 patents?

"Feng, everyone knows that you are the symbol of money," he also made a joke.

"Haha, this is the first time I hear someone say that," Feng Yiping patted him on the shoulder, "I'm really just here to take a look, you don't have to accompany me here,"

Jeff Williams was also busy talking to Cook in person, "Then don't bother me, Feng, we'll see you later,"

Another car stopped by the roadside at this time, and Charlie Kidder, the head of the Windows Phone department and the person in charge of this bidding at Microsoft, got out of a Mercedes-Benz with some doubts.

When Jeff Williams shook hands with him, he also saw someone in his car making a phone call. Didn't he know Feng Yiping was coming in person?

This is interesting. Didn't you guys bid together this time?

When talking to Cummins last night, Charlie Kiddell did hear him say that Feng might come too.

But he didn't expect Feng Yiping to come. For such a project, why would he need to personally take action?

But he really came, and chose to come at the beginning.

He was immediately shocked by the people around Feng Yiping, and his smile became brighter like Jeff Williams, "Feng, I didn't expect to see you so soon,"

"I'm just here for a walk," Feng Yiping held his hand, "This time, I hope you and Cummins can bring us good news,"

Just for a walk? And why bring so many people? Your 777 may not be able to accommodate you! Charlie Kidd thought so as he walked towards the car with a lot of lawsuits in his mind.

After taking the phone from the secretary and calling "Steve", he looked over there again.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the Nortel sign stood there alone. The surrounding lawns were obviously neglected. There were a few bright red flowers swaying in the wind in front and behind. This scene...

"Charlie, Charlie," Ballmer called a few times over there, but Charlie Kidd did not respond.

The once magnificent sign of Nortel now looks like a tombstone.

And Feng Yiping and his group looked like they were paying tribute to this former giant?

"Steve, yes, Feng is here, with all the heads of his companies..."

…………

Feng Yiping did what he said. Under the warm welcome of Nortel's current management team and the bankruptcy administrator, he only took a quick tour of Nortel's distinctive headquarters, took photos with some people, and did not even enter the conference room. He left the Cummins team and hurriedly left with the large group.

This made a large group of people look at each other in bewilderment.

Apple's Jeff Williams was immediately surrounded by people coming and going. They were the heads of other camps, including Ericsson, BlackBerry Sony and EMC, who went to him to inquire.

But it seems that none of them got a satisfactory result.

Charlie Kidd was not the only one who tried to find out the news. The representative of Intel, who finally decided to join, whispered to him, "Charlie, what's going on?"

Charlie Kidd spread his hands helplessly, "We are an alliance with Android, but I really don't know about this."

Not to mention him, even Ballmer couldn't guess why this was.

He believed that Cook, who stayed behind at Apple, was probably also confused at this time.

Seeing the other party's face full of disbelief, he was very helpless, I really don't know!

The Intel representative also said something similar to Apple's Jeff Williams, "Anyway, Charlie, congratulations!"

Kidel simply didn't bother to explain, anyway, you wouldn't believe it.

Besides, as an ally of Android, Feng Yiping's sudden appearance is always beneficial to them.

At this time, Nortel staff invited everyone to enter, and the bidding was about to begin.

…………

On the cruise ship on Lake Ontario, Feng Yiping held a wine glass in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, "Steve, I just brought everyone here for a meeting,"

I don't believe you, Ballmer said in his heart.

Everyone knows that you are not generous in this regard. There has never been a precedent of taking executives out for meetings. Besides, why is it at this time?

"Oh, I see. But Feng, since you are there, I will leave the bidding to you,"

"Trust Charlie and Cummins," Feng Yiping said, "They will definitely handle it,"

He put down his phone and his wine glass, looked at the executives sitting in the hall and said, "I hope everyone can summarize why Nortel has come to this point today,"
