Chapter 3011 This Is Possible

Feng Yiping was talking to Paulson and Michael Mukasey at this time. Looking out from the lobby on the third deck, San Francisco during the day was really not as beautiful as it was at night.

Ahead, we are approaching the Golden Gate Bridge.

When you look at this famous bridge from a partial view, you don't think it is very beautiful. The steel embroidered with paint, although it looks powerful, is rough and old.

This is truly one of America’s true calling cards.

"Leave China to me, the United States and Europe, I will leave it to you two. I have notified the D.C. office to fully support your work,"

Although the acquisition plan has been approved by Motorola's board of directors - for Android, Feng Yiping can agree, but for this acquisition to be completed, it must not only be approved by the US regulatory authorities, but also must be approved by other major countries in the world. of approval.

Of course Feng Yiping and others have evaluated that whether it is China, the United States, Europe or other countries, they will definitely approve it. However, if they can get it approved faster, then why not do it?

Because this acquisition is very important to Android, and apart from Microsoft and Apple, it is not that there will not be other potential competitors or various unexpected factors. Therefore, if it can be approved within a month, it will never be Postponed to 32 days.

"I'm very happy!" Paulson and Mukasey both said.

People are like this. When they are in the circle, they may be a little willful and disgusted, but when they really leave the circle, they can't help but miss them.

Both of them are very happy to return to their original circles with a powerful image.

"Then, I hope we all get the good news as soon as possible," Feng Yiping raised his glass.

Looking at his appearance, Paulson swallowed back some of his words.

He originally wanted to ask about the connections that Feng Yiping could use personally. He knew that in addition to those on the surface, at least in the United States, Feng Yiping must also have very powerful political resources.

Otherwise, he would not have said when he was preparing to rescue the market that if necessary, he would also think of ways to successfully pass the rescue plan and do some work for the Democratic Party.

It turns out that he is not very clear about it, but recently, he may have made some shocking guesses, so he also knows that it is not good to ask at this time.

Some work still needs to be done from the bottom up.

"Yiping, you should want to see this," Wu Qian came over holding a tablet.

Feng Yiping took a look and said, "Haha, Apple and the others also expressed their opinions,"

Apple and Microsoft, which had remained silent during Android's acquisition of Motorola, finally broke their silence when Feng Yiping and others held a celebration party.

Microsoft, which still has unresolved patent litigation with Motorola, this time was the tone of Apple during the last Nortel patent auction, "We must be wary of the unfair competitive advantage this merger may bring to Android..."

This really made Feng Yiping couldn't help but feel like the way of heaven and reincarnation.

At that time, Microsoft, which stood with Android, was an indirect victim of such remarks, but now, it uses such remarks to attack Android.

In addition, of course, Ballmer’s remarks last time made Feng Yiping choked, but this time, it is an advanced version, “As the originator of global mobile communications, some of Motorola’s patents will not be properly used if they are not properly used.” If used, it will definitely be a huge obstacle to the healthy development of the entire mobile communications industry,"

"From this perspective, we hope that Motorola's patents in this area should be open to the outside world free of charge..."

Perhaps because it was not Ballmer who made these remarks, they took it a step further without any scruples.

Again, this is very Microsoft.

This time Apple still had Cook express its position. I don’t know if they had communicated with Microsoft, or if he also felt that it was not good to make a fuss, so he mainly responded to the merger from another angle.

"Apple's success has clearly shown that the close integration of software and hardware is the best way. We are happy to see that more and more high-tech companies are following our model,"

Feng Yiping shook his head, this Cook!

"We are happy to share our successful experiences, but at the same time, we must remind everyone that not everyone can take some roads..."

"Good luck to them!"

Mukasey laughed, "Why do I sense jealousy between the lines in these words?"

"When it comes to jealousy, the following one is more obvious." Feng Yiping swiped and showed them Samsung's belated speech, "Samsung is very happy to see Android's efforts to maintain the entire ecosystem. "

"...This US$12.4 billion acquisition was the main reason why they finally gave up during the Nortel Networks patent auction,"

"The amount was specifically mentioned," Mukasey said. "They are jealous that we successfully acquired Motorola's patents at a more favorable price."

Paulson, the former Wall Street emperor, knows this best. He acquired Motorola for US$12.4 billion, but Motorola still has US$3 billion in cash flow. The set-top box business that has been planned to be handed over to Netflix is ​​worth at least US$2 billion. Motorola's hardware part is at least between 2.5 billion and 3 billion US dollars.

In this way, Feng Yiping obtained Motorola's 17,000 patents and 7,500 patents under review, but the price was between 4.4 and 4.9 billion US dollars. Of course, it was more than spending more than 4.5 billion US dollars to obtain Nortel's 6,000 patents. , more cost-effective.

"Haha," Feng Yiping threw the tablet aside, "After seeing their reactions, I was even happier. Isn't that right?"

Paulson said seriously, "This is the sense of accomplishment you should enjoy!"

Mukasey plus one, "Exactly!"

"But it depends on you two whether it can be approved as soon as possible." Feng Yiping raised his glass again and his phone vibrated. He picked it up and took a look. Mayer sent a message on Snapchat, "Come upstairs." ,"

Feng Yiping was stunned for a moment. To send such a text message, use Snapchat instead of WhatsApp?

This is quite interesting.

"Excuse me, you two." He just walked to the stairs and happened to bump into Rubin.

When Rubin saw Feng Yiping, his face lit up, "Feng, I want to talk to you..."

Feng Yiping waved his hand, "Rubin, I know what you want to talk to me about. We have already reached a conclusion, haven't we?"

"Enjoy it with everyone,"

"Oh," Rubin, who was holding back his prepared words, immediately felt as disappointed as Bald Qiang, who was scolded by Boss Li again. It still doesn't work!

He was walking down depressedly when he suddenly heard Feng Yiping say, "Wait a minute."

He looked up with some confusion. Feng Yiping was also standing there holding on to the stairs, as if thinking about something. He was suddenly happy again. It seemed that there was a way?

"Feng," he hurriedly ran up and stood respectfully below Feng Yiping, waiting.

Feng Yiping thought for a while, "I think it's not that we don't have a direction for you to realize your dream,"

Rubin was immediately overjoyed, "Really?"

"Yes," Feng Yiping said firmly.

He seriously thought about that direction, which should not violate the promise he made to everyone.

What's more, Microsoft, Apple, hum, why can't I take the initiative to target you?

"But I don't have time now, let's talk about it tomorrow,"

"Okay Feng," Rubin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then added, "Wait a minute."

After that, he hugged Feng Yiping heavily and said, "Thank you, Feng,"

Gee, Feng Yiping was really hard to bear such an affectionate hug from a big man.

But looking at his brisk pace and listening to his happy laughter coming from the next floor, Feng Yiping could only shake his head. This is a middle-aged man with dreams and pursuits!

Starting from the fourth floor, there are fewer people. The top floor is closed to people, so there is no one on the deck at this time.

Feng Yiping quickly walked into his office with a 360-degree view, and couldn't help but let out a sigh, where is the person?

"Here," Mayer's voice came from the swivel chair behind the desk facing away from him.

But at this time, she still didn't turn around to face him.

"That is, starting from next year, it will be difficult for us to encounter patent litigation?" asked the other side.

"Of course," Feng Yiping walked over with some confusion, "With Motorola...oh!"

The swivel chair turned around at this time, and Mayer, who was sitting on it, was wearing the exact outfit Feng Yiping wanted last time. No, it was even better than Feng Yiping's request.

According to his two 2.0 eyes, there was nothing inside except the neat suit and skirt.

Feng Yiping's Adam's apple made a loud noise involuntarily, oh, boy!
