Chapter 676 I'm Very Angry (Two in One)

After dusk, the sky changed drastically.

The strong wind blows the grass, and the plantain encounters heavy rain.

"Well, senior, I was wrong..."

Yang Mi was wearing a blindfold, and felt that the rope in her hand was untied, but the person who untied the rope was not there. She heard the sound of rain mixed with the ringing of the mobile phone, and then heard the sound of the window opening.

"Wow wow wow."

Lu Fei stood on the balcony, with the cold wind blowing on his hot head. Guo Xing, who was far away in the United States, brought an unexpected bad news. Nokia just delivered the news——

Accusing logic of infringing its own patent again, demanding a patent fee of up to 4.2 million U.S. dollars, and it is a one-time payment!
Outrageous!

The light of lightning shone on Lu Fei's face, his face was gloomy, and his brows were tightly frowned. Although he has acquired the patents of Nortel Networks and expanded the arsenal of the Android camp, there are some patents that cannot be bypassed no matter how much Nokia.

But the problem is that Logic has been cross-licensing patents with Nokia, and if it cannot be licensed, it also pays by pinching its nose.

What is Nokia doing this time?
Guo Xing said: "Mr. Lu, Kallasvuo said that there are 21 patents in total involving software, antennas, chipsets, and video coding. The logic has not been authorized by Nokia, and they are used privately. There are also 8 patents that have changed the charging standards, and the licensing fees are all Up……"

"Nokia is crazy, isn't it! Dare to raise prices indiscriminately?"

Lu Fei crossed his hips, "It seems that he wants to make a fortune by relying on patent authorization. Have you found out why?"

"It's been checked!"

Guo Xing reported in detail.

Nokia's financial report for the second quarter was ugly, especially the sales in the Chinese market. It was beaten by Xiaomi and Shenzhou. The stock price continued to slump for several months. Profit, Nokia's stock is about to fall below $10.

In addition to layoffs at present, it is to levy patent licensing fees.

Originally, there is nothing wrong with paying patent licensing fees, but when the contract expires, raising the price on the ground, rashly raising the price is pure hooliganism!
Moreover, the charging standard is quite unreasonable.

Even if Qualcomm sees you, you have to call it a "hooligan"!
"Are you only asking us for money?"

Lu Fei looked at the flowers and plants that had been ravaged in the heavy rain.

"In addition to Apple, HTC, Xiaomi, Shenzhou, and Tianyu are all our domestic brands." Guo Xing said in a low tone.

"Finally, Kallasvuo didn't lose his head and attacked everywhere, including Samsung, Sony, LG and other Japanese and Korean companies."

"That's a matter of time. This time it's our turn, and next time it's their turn. Nokia is catching whoever it is and biting whoever it is."

"I don't care what the apples are like, here I am..."

For Nokia's lion's big mouth, Lu Fei has only one strong answer, No, qnmd!

"President Lu, Kallasvuo probably expected that we would reject it, saying that this is Nokia's reasonable patent claim. If he doesn't want it, he can sue us in court and double the $4.2 million."

Guo Xingsheng was afraid that Lu Fei would anger him, so he said the exact words of Kang Peikai, but what surprised him was——

Instead of being angry, Lu Fei was very calm: "Nokia is blackmailing patents. The more they get ahead, the more we can't do what they want. Don't talk about it. Let's see you in court."

4.2 million U.S. dollars, what is equivalent to?
It is equivalent to buying an entire Leica and still have a surplus.

Equivalent to three quarters of Mentor Graphics.

It is equivalent to tearing off a piece of fat from the logic capital chain, especially the logic has entered the hurricane mode. After the subprime mortgage crisis, it has swept global assets. The development speed can no longer be described as high speed, but super high speed. Liquidity is also unavoidably tight, severely compressing the smooth operation of logic.

What's more, the procurement, production, publicity and distribution of logicX3...

More importantly, after the acquisition of Nortel Networks patents, the entire Android camp has sprung up, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

Could it be that before the acquisition, Nokia threatened to give money,
After the acquisition, Nokia intensified its threat to raise prices?So Nortel Networks bought it for nothing!
How can you be a big brother?
How to bring a good Android camp?

"We want to fight the lawsuit with Nokia to the end, no matter how high the cost, in the United States, in Germany, in China, in short, as long as Nokia wants to fight, we will fight for as long as possible!"

Lu Fei slapped heavily on the railing.

"Yes, Mr. Lu!"

Guo Xing fully supports it. Anyway, this is not the first time he has gone to court with Nokia, and he has long been used to it.

"Even if you are fined more patent fees in the end, it doesn't matter. The logic of the future must be stronger than the logic of today, and it is completely affordable and can be delayed in time."

Lu Fei said with a stern face: "On the contrary, the longer the delay, the better for us, and Nokia will be completely dragged to death in the lawsuit."

"Mr. Lu, do you also want to ask about the progress of Motorola's acquisition?" Guo Xing very much agreed to fight a protracted war with Nokia.

Nokia has fallen behind in smartphones.

Just for these three melons and two dates, wasting the opportunity of the final transformation in vain is tantamount to picking up sesame seeds and losing the world.

"I'll be in touch with Carl Icahn."

Lu Fei understood the implication of his words.

Guo Xing immediately felt more confident. If during the lawsuit, Google can acquire Motorola's mobile division, with Motorola's patent protection, even if the licensing fee cannot be completely waived, it can save a lot and stabilize the entire Android camp. heart of.

It is equivalent to upgrading from level 5 to level 6, and prepare for a big move.

"By the way, just now you said that Apple, HTC, and Xiaomi were all sued. How did they react?"

Lu Fei sat on the rocking chair, swaying.

"Xiaomi, Shenzhou, and HTC are of course looking at what we mean, but Apple has no news for the time being."

Guo Xing promised to send someone to investigate immediately.

"Hmph, we thought Nokia was too simple. Originally, the conference in October was only aimed at Apple. Now, since Nokia wants to get involved so much, then we don't have to be polite and add Nokia to the conference. "

Lu Fei said: "This time we want to hit people with two fists!"

Guo Xing led the way, and he planned to organize domestic manufacturers such as HTC, Xiaomi, and Shenzhou to jointly countersue Nokia.

"Drip drip..."

The rain gradually diminished and the rain fell slowly.

Lu Fei called Carl Icahn. He didn't ask how long it would take, and he didn't want specific numbers. I just want Motorola!
Hanging up the phone, in the cold rainy night, he frowned furiously, his mind was full of how to deal with Nokia and Apple.

At this moment, a figure swayed in front of him.

"Hi~"

Lu Fei took a breath and looked down.

Yang Mi is obviously already a qualified fire extinguisher. Strong wind and heavy rain can't put out Master Lu's fire. She is working hard to put out the fire.

At the same time, when Xiaomi's Lei Jun, Shenzhou's Wu Haijun, HTC's Wang Xuehong and others were anxiously waiting for the news of logic, they all got the same answer from Master Lu——

No, go to the fucking Nokia!

Moreover, directly on the official website, as well as official accounts such as Weibo, Twitter, and Facebook, it was publicly announced in a uniform manner:

"Nokia's mobile phone business is in decline. It actually transfers patents to third-party patent enforcement companies, conniving at these companies to act as its own thugs, charging high patent fees to make huge profits. discriminatory terms."

"Logic doesn't admit it! Don't accept it! Don't agree!"

HTC, Xiaomi, Shenzhou and other younger brothers saw that the leading brother was so tough, they immediately found the backbone and leaned on them.

Logic does not hand in, we do not hand in.

After all, they have already paid so much money to buy the road, and now Nokia has directly changed it to grab it, and no one will agree to it.

Same goes for apples!
Jobs was not surprised to hear the logical reply, but took it for granted, because he and Lu Fei were on the same road.

I didn't want to hand it in!

Now that Lu Fei doesn't hand it in, it's even more impossible for him to hand it in!
Wouldn't it be shorter than Lu Fei if he handed it in?

He Jobs and Apple can't afford to lose this man!
But what surprised him was that the logic not only refused, but also sued the two third-party companies that helped Nokia, accusing them of allegedly "extorting" unreasonable patent licensing fees with Nokia. .

Although Apple does not want to fight side by side with logic,

However, Nokia can't stand to bully people too much.

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you think I'm Hello Kitty!
Soon, Apple announced that it would only accept cross-licensing of patents with Nokia, and would never accept paying high patent fees.

Android and IOS, join forces to fight Symbian!
"Yo, Jobs is so angry?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows. He really couldn't figure out where Apple has the confidence. It doesn't have the patent of Nortel Networks like him, nor does it have a backer like Motorola, and it doesn't have the Android gang.

Oyster sauce?
Could it be that Jobs has something behind him that he doesn't know about?

Looking out the window absently, the Hantang Film City is not far away, and the radiant lights illuminate the entire night sky.

The 30-meter red carpet extends all the way to the door.

Fans on the left and media on the right, it was crowded.

"The Sound of the Wind" is a gift film for the 60th anniversary of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the premiere is naturally star-studded. No matter which circle, which company, or which star, they all come to join in, and I am afraid of missing it.

After all, Tong Gang and Han Sanping were also here.

The entire China Entertainment must show face.

Yang Mi was wearing a black dress with suspenders and her coquettish red lips. Standing in the middle of Liu Shishi in the white dress and Jing Tian in the pink dress, the three sisters were filled with intimate and sweet smiles.

Instead, Liu Yifei was left aside in embarrassment.

The little xenophobic thoughts are clearly revealed.

Liu Yifei let out a sigh of relief to calm down his mind, and he didn't force himself to go up to him to humiliate himself, but followed behind alone, meeting many acquaintances along the way.

Chen Kun, who co-starred with her in "The Family of Gold Fans", chatted and laughed with Yang Mi and Liu Shishi who collaborated in "Painted Skin", and even greeted Jing Tian, ​​but only himself——

Love to ignore.

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming and Li Shuangbing, who had worked with him before, all took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the three sisters Yang Mi.

But one by one, they all ignored themselves.

It was as if he was air and had no sense of existence.

Seeing that Yang Mi, who is admired by all the stars, has evolved from Lin Yueru and Guo Xiang who are helpless to match herself, to the "first sister" among the young flowers born in the 80s of China Entertainment who have a bright future.

Liu Shishi is regarded as the "second sister" in terms of age.

In terms of strength, Jing Tian is a veritable "Second Sister".

Liu Yifei was in a trance for a while, wasted these years in Hollywood, it really is a change of things, and the world is cold.

Sighing, without asking for trouble, he lifted the skirt silently, and walked to his seat. Suddenly, he felt that his hem was being stepped on, and he staggered and almost fell over.

Looking back, it was Huo Siyan.

Wang Zhonglei put his arms around her waist, and said in a cold tone: "Miss Liu, long time no see, I never expected to meet you here."

"Wang, Mr. Wang."

Liu Yifei trembled and wanted to pull back the skirt that had been trampled under his feet, but he couldn't pull it out, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Not only is he anxious to pay for the dirty high-end dress he finally borrowed, but he is even more anxious to be entangled by the vengeful Hua Yi.

"Didn't Ms. Liu sign a contract with William Morris to break into Hollywood? How come she has time to come back to China?"

When Wang Zhonglei thought that she was using Hua Yi as a springboard and the two brothers as her successor, he immediately became angry.

"I was invited by Mr. Lu and Sister Zeng Li..."

Liu Yifei pursed his lips, pretending to be a tiger.

"Boss Lu?!"

Hearing Master Lu, Huo Siyan was so frightened that he immediately took back the foot he was stepping on, while Wang Zhonglei stared at her with scrutiny.

"Mr. Lu, we arranged Liu Yifei and Mr. Wang's seats in the front and back rows. You see, they bumped into each other now."

Zhong Lifang pointed.

Lu Fei looked in the direction of his finger, and saw Liu Yi was isolated and helpless under Wang Zhonglei's troubles, his face pale.

"Mr. Lu, shall I bring them here now?"

"Don't worry, wait a minute, Wang Zhonglei has held back his anger for so many years, let him vent it, and let Liu Yifei know what situation he is in now. Only you can save her, and she can only hug her tightly. Han Tang's thigh."

"You're right, don't use us as a springboard."

"She dares? I guess she doesn't have the guts!"

Lu Fei crossed his legs and swayed for a while, "It's about time, you go help her smooth things over, if Wang Zhonglei gets messed up..."

"I'll bring him to you."

Zhong Lifang was instructed and walked over.

Seeing Liu Yifei being watched as if it was a joke, Wang Zhonglei pulled Huayi and the others to be sarcastic and aggressive, like slap after slap on her face.

"President Wang!"

Hearing Zhong Lifang's voice, Liu Yifei seemed to see a savior.

Wang Zhonglei was taken aback, forcing a smile out of his entire face.

Zhong Lifang stood in front of Liu Yifei and confessed her relationship with Han Tang, and the brokerage contract was already under her name.

"Mr. Zhong, when did she sign up for Han Tang?"

Wang Zhonglei's face was serious, and Huo Siyan and others retreated.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face.

After all, Zhong Lifang represents Gao Yuanyuan's face.

"That's right. Didn't Huayi launch the 'Four Little Huadans' before, so Mr. Gao and we plan to follow suit and launch a lineup of 'Four Little Huadans' actresses after it goes public. Coincidentally, Sissy also has the idea of ​​cooperating. We It hit it off!"

Zhong Lifang is like a hen protecting Liu Yifei.

"As expected of Ms. Liu, she can always go to a higher place." Wang Zhonglei turned over the old score, "But I want to remind Mr. Zhong..."

"I know there is some unhappiness between her and Huayi."

Zhong Lifang laughed, trying to mediate the conflict between Liu Yifei and them without Master Lu coming forward.

But obviously, I overestimated my own face.

Liu Yifei hid behind her guilty, thinking that this would lead to a stalemate, but heard: "Originally Mr. Gao wanted to resolve it in person, but due to physical reasons, he didn't come, so she specially invited Mr. Lu here. Mr. Wang wanted to Aren't you going to see me?"

"Boss Lu is also there?!"

Wang Zhonglei suddenly became excited.

Seeing his gaffe, Liu Yifei's heart pounded, followed Zhong Lifang, came to Lu Fei, and sat next to him.

"Lu, Mr. Lu."

Seeing Lu Fei's gloomy face, Wang Zhonglei's heart skipped a beat, thinking he was dissatisfied with making things difficult for Liu Yifei.

broken!

This little girl Liu Yifei hugged her thigh!
"President Wang, sit down."

Little did he know that Lu Fei was concerned about the upcoming Three Emperors War with Nokia and Apple, and he had been very angry these days.

Even the fire extinguisher Yang Mi couldn't put down the fire.

By accident, it hit the muzzle of the gun!
"Gollum."

Wang Zhonglei swallowed his saliva, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Are we ready?"

Lu Fei squinted his eyes and leaned towards Liu Yifei. Although there was no skin-to-skin contact, the meaning was self-evident.

"No……"

Before Zhong Lifang could finish speaking, Wang Zhonglei immediately interrupted: "It's over, it's over, there was indeed a little misunderstanding between us and Ms. Liu, but it's over now, we just made it clear."

"Really reconciled?"

"real!"

"I don't like forcing people, don't force them."

"President Lu, don't force yourself at all!"

"That's good."

Lu Fei held out his hand expressionlessly, "I'll thank Mr. Wang and Hua Yi for supporting her and her career on Yuanyuan's behalf. If I'm free some other day, we'll invite you and your elder brother to dinner."

Liu Yifei's eyes widened, and within a few words, Wang Zhonglei, who was arrogant and arrogant, was subdued, my God!
I stared blankly at the man with full aura and calm demeanor in front of me. I thought he was domineering and charming enough on TV and in the news. witness--

Judah is a hundred times better!
The whole heart is surging, and I can't help being dazzled.

"If it wasn't for Boss Lu, maybe Huayi would never give up on you." Zhong Lifang sighed beside her, "Sissy, please thank Boss Lu, Sissy."

"Whoa whoa."

Liu Yifei woke up like a dream, blushing and said: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, my mother and I booked a box at the hotel..."

"If you want to thank, you can thank Mr. Gao and Mr. Zhong."

Lu Fei glanced at his watch: "As for eating, you can, but it's not necessary." Then he stood up and left.

Liu Yifei looked at his back and pressed his chest.

When the person left, there seemed to be an empty space in my heart.

　Thanks to Princess Sissy for the 800 starting coins.
