Chapter 3007 Aiming at Pei Gong

Before, Brian Kozaich, who was running the fastest, smiled and asked Charlie Kidd, "Kidd, what good ideas does Feng have?"

Kidd raised his middle finger silently in his heart. What would Feng say on the phone? Don't you have any idea?

Otherwise, how could you run so fast.

Besides, if Feng Yiping really had any good ideas, would he tell us directly?

Of course, he pretended to be a master and told us through Cummins.

"Feng has a lot of opinions about our giving up," he said concisely.

Kzaich couldn't let Kozaich know that Feng Yiping had bullied him so much, "He hopes we can actively find a solution,"

"Method? That is to increase the price," Kozaich said, "Okay, I think I have to tell the company about Feng's attitude,"

The alliance with them is to make friends. If such an alliance offends Feng Yiping and Android, he can't afford such consequences.

Especially at this time.

At this time, it means that according to the situation he has, the company may appoint him as COO soon.

In high-tech companies, it is generally acknowledged that the COO is the most powerful candidate for the CEO.

He knew that if he could not satisfy Feng Yiping and Android this time, then the company's next arrangement would certainly not satisfy him.

In 2006, the company decided to cooperate with Apple, which severely offended two long-term partners, Dell and Microsoft. This time, the company decided to cooperate with Android, which naturally offended Apple, Microsoft and Dell. The price is not too heavy.

If his behavior affects the project that the company has paid such a high price, let alone promotion, he may even leave.

"Goodbye," Kidder hung up the phone with the guy who was inquiring about the news. He also had to call the company.

…………

Silicon Valley, NEXTDOOR Park, watching Feng Yiping hang up the phone, Mayer, who had been sitting on his desk watching his performance, said, "I can imagine that Cummins must be deeply confused by your attitude at this time,"

Feng Yiping took a few steps in the office with his mobile phone, "There is no other way, I think he will understand in the future,"

"You performed very well," Mayer looked at him with great approval.

She still wanted to see Feng Yiping like this more often. This kind of Feng Yiping made her admire him and worship him.

Even though they already had a child and were a family in fact, she still needed this kind of admiration, which would make her love Feng Yiping more and make their relationship more stable than before.

"So we just wait now?" she asked.

"Yes, wait," Feng Yiping said.

"If they don't call?"

"Then," Feng Yiping looked at his phone, "I'll call them,"

"Just right, I haven't vented my emotions just now,"

Hearing what he said, Mayer, who was about to stick with him, didn't go over. At this time, Feng Yiping smiled and raised his phone, "Look, here he comes,"

"Ballmer?"

Feng Yiping shook his head and entered that angry state again, "Hello, Paul,"

On the other side, Intel CEO Paul Otellini smiled, "Feng, I know that Android really needs this batch of patents to expand your patent pool and change your passive situation, but unfortunately, we think that the current price has far exceeded the original value of this batch of patents,"

"Believe me, I am very willing to be your most solid ally and have made a lot of efforts, but this price is unacceptable to our board of directors,"

"So Feng, we really can only withdraw, I hope you can understand,"

Feng Yiping complained, "The board of directors is really an all-purpose shield,"

Mayer smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

"Okay Paul, I understand your situation," some words should be said in moderation, "but I want to ask, have we done everything we can?"

"I think there is a way to make Apple withdraw their $4.5 billion offer and close the deal at $4 billion that we all agree on,"

"Feng, Kozic has repeatedly assured me that he has done everything he can and that he believes that there is really no such possibility,"

Feng Yiping did not speak, but deliberately quickened his pace and increased his pace so that Paul Otellini could hear his quick and heavy footsteps in the receiver.

"Feng..."

"Okay, I see, I have a call coming in," Feng Yiping checked his phone, and sure enough, it was Ballmer.

"Feng, thank you for your understanding, we will launch an Android-compatible processor as soon as possible, and we will also firmly support your next acquisition," Paul Otellini had to make a promise to him.

"I hope so, bye," Feng Yiping hung up the phone, and Ballmer also hung up the phone, but he just didn't call back. More than 50 seconds later, Ballmer called again, "Feng,"

"Mr. Ballmer," Feng Yiping said coldly.

"Haha Feng," Ballmer laughed, "Can't you accept a failure?"

"I can accept failure calmly, but I can't accept the betrayal of my most trusted ally," Feng Yiping said, "I didn't know that Microsoft would give up so easily in the process of competing with Apple,"

Mayer immediately felt that the child's father's acting skills could really be considered as the male lead in Netflix's TV series.

"Haha," Ballmer still laughed in the face of Feng Yiping's sarcastic remarks, "It's not about giving up, but it's the same thing you did when bidding for Yahoo."

After a small counterattack, he persuaded him gently, "We believe that the current price has far exceeded the value of these patents."

Why is Microsoft participating in this auction? Why did this auction fetch such a high price?

Of course everyone has done some calculations.

Including Microsoft, large companies in the United States have conducted an average of more than 30 patent litigations each year in the past two years, including active and passive ones.

On average, the legal fees for each lawsuit are at least 5 million US dollars. If the lawsuit is lost, the compensation amount will easily exceed 100 million US dollars. That is why everyone has such a strong interest in Nortel's advantageous patents. .

But $4.5 billion? On average, Microsoft needs at least 1.5 billion US dollars. They feel that this is not cost-effective.

"Ballmer, you know, under the current situation, these patents cannot be measured in terms of money. What annoys me most is, have you done all the hard work? Obviously not..."

"Feng, Feng," Ballmer interrupted, "Apple thinks so too, so we feel that your wish that they will no longer increase prices, or even withdraw their offers, will be difficult to achieve,"

"If you don't try, how will you know the result?" Feng Yiping was still very determined, "Forget it, don't worry, we won't give up without your support."

"Feng," Ballmer had to persuade him earnestly, "we all understand that Apple actually needs these patents very much. You see, their patent reserves are really insufficient."

"So, why spend an exorbitant price to fight against them?"

"There will be opportunities in the future, right?"

"Oh, I heard it," Feng Yiping sneered, "Because Microsoft's patent pool is large enough, it doesn't matter if it can't acquire these patents, so you think it's okay to give these Nortel patents to Apple this time. It doesn’t matter,”

"Von, we just don't think it's necessary to pay such a high price," Ballmer said.

Feng Yiping ignored him, "Have you ever thought that our patent reserves are worse than Apple's?"

"And the situation we are currently facing is even more severe than Apple's, so we urgently need these patents even more?"

Ballmer felt that Feng Yiping was making some excuses, but business is business. If Microsoft should sue Android phone manufacturers, it would have to sue.

"As an ally of Android, Microsoft actually cares about the feelings of its rival Apple in this auction, but does not consider the situation of Android. Ballmer, does this make sense?"

Ballmer is also very helpless. Why is it so difficult to appease you?

It's really more troublesome than Gates.

He could only say repeatedly, "Feng, you know, we are doing this mainly for your benefit. Besides, don't you have other opportunities?"

"Other opportunities?" Feng Yiping sneered again, "You mean Motorola?"

"Please! Just for these 6,000 Nortel patents, we and you have not been able to win them, Motorola? How many competitors will there be? Don't say you don't have ideas in this regard,"

"No, Feng, we firmly support your acquisition of Motorola," Ballmer promised. "It should be your turn, too."

yeah! Finally, after receiving such a promise from him, Feng Yiping immediately proudly bowed to Mayerby...
