Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 252 Catch a Squeeze, Squeeze the Bald Jobs (Add More)
Ballmer's efficiency is extremely high, and he does things as he says. He immediately recommended Newark (FingerWorks) to Lu Fei, who had access to cooperative touch screens.

He took Zhang Tianmei, who also served as the board secretary, and flew from Seattle to San Francisco.

Out of Lu Fei's unlimited money, Robert sent the elite of the team, Saul Goodman to follow.

Hearing this name for the first time, Lu Fei almost got out of the drama, so it can't be "Breaking Bad", right?
But even though the names are the same, from clothing to manners, they are completely two dimensions.

"Sir, Newark specializes in touchpads and multi-touch keyboards, and has 21 patents for multi-touch."

He sat in the passenger seat and reported directly without writing.

"There is only one financing, which is from the current CEO, Jeff White's investment of 300 million US dollars, and the two founders, Wayne Westerman and John Elias, hold 2% of the shares..."

Lu Fei crossed his legs, and while listening to Zhang Tianmei's interpretation, he flipped through the materials. After reading too many documents in English, his English reading level soared, and he could roughly understand the content and data of the whole article——

Shareholding Structure...Quarterly Turnover...Total Assets...

Goodman frowned, "How do you want to cooperate? Patent transfer, license, or lease?"

Lu Fei shook his head, "I want them all, including people and patents!"

Zhang Tianmei was surprised: "Boss Lu, do we really want to buy it?"

"Of course!"

Lu Fei's tone is firm, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes in multi-touch.

Smartphones have 12 key technologies, 5 of which are hardware, microprocessors, memory chips, solid-state hard disk drives, liquid crystal displays, and lithium-based batteries.

The remaining 7 are network and software, fast Fourier transform algorithm, Internet, HTTP and HTML, cellular network, GPS, Siri and touch screen.

With the current size of Logic, the only thing that can be gnawed is software, and the most likely thing to be gnawed is touch technology.

Without a touch screen, a smartphone is not a smartphone, and Apple's technology started from the acquisition of Newark.

After squeezing out Apple's design, Apple's patents and talents, without anyone noticing, even Jobs didn't expect to be squeezed out.

"My suggestion, don't start directly with the acquisition, it will appear abrupt, and you will lose some initiative in the negotiation."

Goodman adjusted his glasses, a shrewd light flashed in his eyes.

Lu Fei nodded, "On my behalf, talk to them about the authorization of resistive touch screen technology, and let's talk about it by the way."

The implication is to set out the psychological price and conditions.

"I think so too!"

Goodman smiled, "After confirming that it is correct, I will ask them to have an interview with you."

"It's hard work. If the acquisition is successful, a lawyer like Qi is exactly what Logic wants to cooperate with."

Lu Fei drew a big cake for him, and told the driver to drive the car to the Newark company, let him get off alone, then turned the road and drove straight to the Moscone Exhibition Center.

Apple's new phone launch event is almost the annual Spring Festival Gala in the American technology circle. Countless IT elites and media people are proud of receiving the invitation letter.

Near the start, crowds of people filed in.

Andy brought a bottle of whiskey and sat in the fifth row of the public gallery with the employees of the software R&D department.

The director was surprised and angry: "Why did you bring wine, if Jobs found out, we would be finished!"

"Saury, I'm so nervous, I need a drink."

As soon as Andy's words fell, he got the unanimous approval of his colleagues in an instant. After more than half a year, itunes4.1.

Especially with Spotify's powerful enemy on the side, watching!
Suddenly, the bright lights went out.

The headlights shone on the stage, and Jobs appeared in a classic image wearing a black jacket and jeans amidst the crowd's long-awaited calls.

"Wow~"

The fruit fans and the media in the audience applauded in unison.

Lu Fei took a few shots casually, focusing all his attention on the layout of the press conference, and the logic will have to be adjusted sooner or later.

Naturally, he can't be reduced to being with Luo Taijun and Thunder Monkey King!

"Thank you for coming, and thank you for still supporting Apple and iPod. In the past period of time, we did encounter a little trouble. An imitator, an infringer, used Apple's design to deal with Apple."

Jobs bent over, changed his image of a dictator in the company, full of amiability, amiable, soft-spoken.

"But we are never afraid, because we are Apple!"

"Yeah!"

"Ho-ho, get that thief out of America!"

"Beat it, Jobs."

In an instant, fruit fans shouted loudly, overthrowing logic.

Zhang Tianmei was angry and annoyed: "Mr. Lu, this is slander."

"A thief is just calling out to catch a thief."

Lu Fei stayed in the crowd, laughing coldly, how could Apple have the nerve to say that others copied it?As far as nm, you copied the most!
The audience is eagerly looking forward to the announcement of ipod3, and most people hope that the new device can be the same as lmusic1. In addition to being instigated by the fake news that the media distorts logic and plagiarizes Apple, it is also Apple's belief and should not be profaned.

Logical God teaches this heresy and must die!

But in the long-awaited, ipod3 appeared, and there was no applause and applause as expected.

For a while, there was no sound.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter the quality, price, or even experience service of iPod3, lmusic1 has been blown away in every aspect, only the memory is dominant.

Even the design of the touch dial is logically first out.

"That's it?"

Lu Fei was the first to clap his hands under the cover of darkness, and the sound of clapping was clear and loud in the silence.

Zhang Tianmei was taken aback, "Boss Lu, will you be beaten like this?"

"How is it possible, I am giving Jobs a strong respect!"

With a smirk on his face, Lu Fei urged her to applaud together:
"Bravo, Jobs, bravo!"

The surrounding audience froze for a while, followed by applause, quite reluctantly, more and more applause, especially harsh, making the staff of Apple feel ashamed.

Andy swallowed his saliva, and quickly took a sip of wine to suppress his shock.

The director scolded angrily: "fuxk, what kind of wine are you drinking, applaud!"

The top Apple executives and engineers in the front row pretended to be excited and acted as the atmosphere group. As long as I was not embarrassed, it was someone else who was embarrassed.

Jobs felt insulted, his eyes twitching.

I can't wait to ask the security guards to get rid of all these applauding bastards immediately, so that they are not allowed to step into the press conference!
Just shouting "bravo", what the fuck is definitely making trouble!

He glanced at the auditorium angrily, it was pitch black, he couldn't find anyone who was hissing, so he continued to talk in anger.

"Three years ago, I brought iTunes to the stage to show everyone what the music of the future will look like?"

"Today, we made a cool feature in iTunes, which defines the future music trading model. I call it, 'Music Vending Machine'."

When the full-screen itunes and the music mall appeared on the projector, it was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the remaining enthusiasm of fruit fans and the media, and cooling down the heart.

All around, deadly silence.

Whenever Jobs completed a demonstration of a function, not only Andy alone, but the engineers in the entire department rushed to take a sip of wine, and the bottle of wine instantly bottomed out.

Perhaps, this is the last sip of dead wine.

"It's now free to run on Microsoft systems."

Jobs, with black lines all over his head, forced a smile to finish everything.

"Ah, isn't this copying our Spotify?"

Zhang Tianmei frowned, refreshing her understanding of Apple.

Lu Fei touched his tongue, shook his head and laughed.

The music library of itunes is only 20 songs, failed!

The itunes mall has no scoring mechanism, failed!
The SNS community of itunes is rotten, a failure among failures!

At this moment, people of all skin colors and ages, more or less, less or less, could clearly hear people shouting disappointment and exhaling fragrance.

That's it? That's it?
rmn, money back!
It's over, it's over...

Zhang Tianmei shrank her head: "Mr. Lu, do we still want to win respect?"

"What do you think! Are you afraid of being beaten?"

Lu Fei looked around, his heart was full of joy, and he was already looking forward to tomorrow's newspaper headlines.

…………

The next day, news of Apple's press conference appeared in the newspapers.

The big newspapers dare not be blatant, and the tabloids have no scruples. No matter how the headlines come, how they come, how they come, how they splashed dirty water on logic before, and now they throw it back all at once.

"Apple's new phone conference was very disappointing. Itunes imitated Spotify, ipod imitated lmusic, and the imitators said that the imitated were 'infringers'!"

"Apple has no ideas, Steve Jobs has no ideas!"

"Apple is no surprise, iPod is short-lived, as the pioneer of the digital music player, it is going through a long period of stagnation, introducing larger memory capacity, brighter colors and software, and no explosive innovation."

"From the bottom of the history of ipod imitation! In addition to ipod3 suspected of imitating lmusic, according to insiders, ipod1 is also suspected of imitating the appearance of Lawn T3 radio, turning the latter speaker into a black and white display and enlarging the middle button. full of unbearable..."

"boom!"

Jobs thumped the table heavily, "Immediately send a lawyer's letter to these newspapers, forcing them to publish an apology, now!"

Seeing him roaring like a sick tiger, Riccio bit the bullet and stepped forward, "Steve, our stock price has fallen!"

A day later, Apple became popular and fell below $13.

Members of the board of directors rushed over and asked loudly:

"Steve, our stock price is down!"

Two days later, the itunes store launched two days of sales, less than half of Spotify's one-day sales.

"Steve, our stock price is down again!"

Three days later, just as the bears were about to enter the market, however—

"Steve, our stock price is going up!"

Four days later.

"Steve, our stock price has gone up again!"

A week later.

"Steve, I found it. It's an offshore private equity fund registered in Cayman, Donglu, and it's continuing to drive up our stock price!"

Cook hurriedly reported that he had bought 0.29%.

From surprise, to confusion, to suspicion, Jobs had a faint taste of conspiracy. Both he and Apple were in the game.

"Investigate, investigate immediately! There is also an anti-dumping lawsuit against Logic, don't worry about Samsung and Sony, we will initiate it directly!"

"Hehe, Steve."

Cook shook his head helplessly, and submitted the lawyer's letter, "This is just sent from Logic today, and it is an antitrust lawsuit against Apple."

"What?!"

Jobs was startled, and a sharp pain suddenly broke out in his lower back.

Kidney stones are at work!I have a kidney drop!
ps: I paid it back!

　Thank you for the 100 starting coins that are so good-looking.
