Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 690: How many steps does it take to dismember Nokia?

San Francisco, blue sky and white clouds, reflecting red leaves,

In a mansion hidden in the jungle, Lu Fei and Ivanka had a candid meeting in the bathroom, where they lay cuddled in the bathtub.

The TV is broadcasting financial news about Lu Fei.

"A fund manager on Wall Street said, 'I have been investing in New York for more than ten years and have seen many IPO battles, but I was still shocked by Feigou.com. The last time I was shocked was the Penguin IPO."

"It's really like what the news said, more than 1000 people from Wall Street came to see you, and you queued up and turned 18 turns in the hotel."

Ivanka straightened up and turned to look at Lu Fei.

"False news!"

Lu Fei curled his lips nonchalantly.

"I also think it's fake. 1000 people even lined up at the elevator entrance and waited for an hour. It's really an exaggeration."

"No, it's not 1 hour, it's more than 2 hours."

"Walter?!"

Ivanka was startled, "Didn't you say fake news?"

Lu Fei walked out of the bathtub and stood under the shower. While washing away the foam on his body, he said, "Yeah, there are 1000 people. They are just dozens of funds on Wall Street. They are bombarded with phone calls or queued up every day. Block the door."

"........."

Ivanka was speechless for a while by Versailles.

"I've had enough of them, so I came here to hide for a while, what the hell, I don't know who leaked the address of the hotel where our team lives." Lu Fei cursed quite proudly.

"Is it true that the news said that once Feigou.com goes public, you will become the world's richest man?"

Ivanka's eyes lit up with admiration.

"The premise is based on this year's Forbes rich list."

Lu Fei turned off the water and took out the towel.

According to the rankings, his current net worth is US$356.8 billion, only US$70 billion behind Bill Gates, who ranks first.

“So you’ll be the richest man in the world soon?!”

Ivanka's voice trembled as she spoke.

"Then it depends on how Forbes ranks it next year."

Lu Fei didn't care.

Almost all the world's richest people have seen their net worth shrink due to the subprime mortgage crisis. When the global economy recovers, Bill Gates and Buffett's net worth will rise back to more than 500 billion US dollars.

"In other words, if you want to surpass Gates and Warren, the market value of Feigou.com must reach... uh, reach..."

Ivanka was so excited that her mind went blank.

"It's about the same level as Amazon now, about $550 billion." Lu Fei smacked his lips.

"But no matter what, at least at the moment when Feigou goes public, you are the richest man in the world, and that's enough."

Ivanka felt her mouth was dry and walked out of the bathtub.

"How many days have it been? It depends on the final evaluation of Feigou.com by investors around the world, especially Wall Street and Xiangjiang, after the road show is over. I should go to Xiangjiang next."

Lu Fei rolled his eyes and turned on the water again.

"When are you leaving?"

Ivanka pressed her face against his back.

"The day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I have made an appointment with Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and Sequoia to talk about Feigou.com's listing."

Lu Fei turned around and was immediately attacked. Faced with her violent attack, he had to resort to his special skills.

Lightning five whips!
Ivanka finally lay on the bed exhausted, with pillows under her waist.

"The venue will be at your golf course. You can come with me then." Lu Fei got out of bed, "Feigou.com's stocks, your family fund can also buy some."

"Well!"

Ivanka suddenly became energetic. Seeing him taking out sportswear from the closet, she asked curiously: "Where are you going dressed like this?" Two arms hugged him from behind, "Are you running?"

"I made an appointment with Ballmer to play at Oracle Arena."

Lu Fei avoided the other party's lips and pressed her head.

"Is it you, him, and the Warriors that Larry bought? Ivanka raised her chin and slurred.

"Hey, let's go see our team and meet our players." Lu Fei stroked her hair and squinted his eyes.

Oracle Arena is located in Oakland, known as "Little Gotham", and is currently the most dilapidated arena used by the NBA.

none of them!

Shabby!

It's so shabby!
Lacob, as a minority shareholder and executive manager, along with this year's senior Nelson and other management personnel, lined up to welcome the inspection of the major shareholder and second shareholder, and the group walked around the arena.

"Can Yao find a way to get it?"

Ballmer's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Ahem, we have discussed with the Rockets management, but the Warriors currently have too few chips. Apart from Alice and Curry, they only have draft picks that can be used as chips. The Rockets may not be interested. Yao Ming is completely for them. Not for sale."

Lacob glanced at Lu Fei secretly, "Unless after the contract expires, Yao Ming is willing to jump out and become a free agent."

"Lu, you know Yao very well."

Ballmer rubbed his hands and said, "See if we can invite him to the Warriors. This year's playoffs have proven his strength. He can compete with the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant in 7 games. It is worth forming a team around him, even if It’s okay to pay the luxury tax.”

"Steve, look at you, you're so anxious."

Lu Fei and Lacob looked at each other helplessly.

In his previous life, Yao Ming was injured in the first game of the semifinals against the Lakers. But now, due to the flapping of butterfly wings, Yao Ming was not injured, but he was still unable to defeat four hands with two fists. With Kobe and Gasol cooperating inside and outside, Fell in the second round standing.

However, it is already a historic breakthrough.

After all, the Rockets have been in one round before.

"I just want to win the championship before Allen's Trail Blazers, and then when I see him again, I will show off my championship ring." Ballmer laughed loudly and blushed.

Sure enough, the life of the rich is mediocre.

In order to show off to my old friends, I bought an NBA team.

Lacob, Nelson and others were extremely worried, fearing that two laymen would dictate and interfere in team management.

However, unexpected.

Lu Fei patiently reassured Ballmer, "Didn't we agree in advance not to interfere too much with the team? We must trust Lacob and the management."

Looking around the arena with aging facilities, he said with disdain: "I think there is only one thing we should do now."

"what?"

Ballmer was surprised.

"That is to quickly build an arena that truly belongs to our Warriors and move out of this trashy Oracle."

"Lu, you are right! We can no longer rent here."

"It would be best to build it in the center of San Francisco to spread the team's influence to the entire Silicon Valley." Lu Fei looked left and right, "What do you think?"

Lacob was so excited, he had wanted to do this for a long time!

"The arena, I will leave it to you to choose the site."

Lu Fei patted his shoulder and asked in a low voice that Yao Ming was not in a hurry. Has Yi Jianlian been traded to the Warriors?
Lacob nodded meaningfully.

Later, they entered the training ground. The players stopped the five-on-five training match and came to get to know the bosses.

Maggette, Stephen Jackson, Monta Alice...

Lu Fei looked at a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and finally saw the handsome Yi Jianlian and the baby-faced "elementary school boy" Stephen Curry at the end of the team.

"Lu, Lu, hello."

There was a hint of excitement in Curry's tone.

"Stephen, welcome to join the Golden State Warriors." Lu Fei shook hands with him, "In the NBA, there are Kobe Bryant, Yao Yao, LeBron, and Anthony who endorse beats. I hope that among the NBA superstars who endorse beats in the future, Can see your name and ads.”

Huaxia Lu actually likes me so much?

Curry's eyes widened when he saw him walking past him, greeting Yi Jianlian, and chattering in Chinese that he couldn't understand at all, but he could vaguely feel that he was looking at him.

"Work hard, the China Men's Basketball Team depends on you and Yao Ming." Lu Fei hit Yi Jianlian hard on the chest.

At this time, he was already wandering in the NBA.

In a few years, he will return to the CBA, but things are different now. A space power forward like Yi Jianlian, paired with Curry, is simply at home in the passing and cutting system.

Yao Ming is the present and Yi Jianlian is the future.

I have to be all!

"Squeak~"

The sound of sneakers scraping against the floor echoed around the court.

Ballmer and Lu Fei were sitting in the front row, watching the team's training games absentmindedly. After a while, Ballmer was the first to speak:
"Lu, I have to explain to you about World of Warcraft. I didn't know about Blizzard's suspension of your agency rights."

"Steve, I understand, I understand."

Lu Fei waved his hand, "This is just a business."

"Yes, yes, business!"

"I can completely understand that Blizzard will not renew the agency rights of "World of Warcraft" with Penguin out of commercial interests. It is easy to get together and break up, and it will not affect our friendship."

"That's good. I'm afraid that because of a trivial game, our feelings and the company's cooperation will be hurt."

Ballmer smiled.

He has a share in the Three-Body Fund, shorting subprime mortgages, longing gold and other investments, and he has made a lot of money.

Publicly and privately, I don't want to break up with Lu Fei.

"You are already generous enough. You have licensed all the IPs of Warcraft and DOTA to Penguin." Lu Fei took a sip of Coke, "But I hope you can do one more thing for me."

"You said."

"As for the news about Blizzard suspending the agency of "World of Warcraft", I hope it can be announced after next year's annual report is released, so that we can be prepared for a buffer. Is that okay?"

"What did I think? There's no problem at all!"

"Thank you."

"Haha, thank you, we are friends!"

Ballmer said: "Your friends are my friends and your enemies are my enemies, except of course Google."

"What about Apple and Nokia?"

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.

"Apple is of course Microsoft's enemy. As for Nokia..." Ballmer cleared his throat, "Lu, I know you are incompatible with Nokia. You are fighting patent wars around the world and even applied for a ban on sales to the International Trade Commission. .”

The conversation changed, "But you should also know that Microsoft has always wanted to find a suitable partner for its Windows Phone system. I originally followed your logic, but I didn't expect to develop Android with Google. Now the only thing Microsoft can find is..."

"But Nokia has jointly developed the MeeGo system with Intel. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be launched next year. By then, it will be the enemy of Android and Microsoft."

When Lu Fei said "unless", he paused.

"Unless what?!"

Ballmer is anxious, so don't be too tight-lipped. Microsoft has been reduced to cooperating with Lianxiang on Windows mobile systems.

"Lianxiang? In fact, it is also a good choice."

A smirk appeared on the corner of Lu Fei's mouth.

"It's indeed good, but how can it be compared with Apple, Nokia and your logic!" Ballmer was furious, "Motorola is about to be bought by damn Google again!"

"Steve, if you give Microsoft a chance to buy Nokia's mobile phone division, would you do it?" Lu Fei asked.

"Ayukui thief?!"

"You think it's impossible?"

"is it possible?"

"No, think about it, think about it, from the rise of smart phones to the present, Nokia's stock price has been falling, and profits have been shrinking. Many investors are already dissatisfied with Kallasvuo. He is not far from stepping down. Then his successor Who will that person be?"

"what do you mean?"

"If Microsoft happens to have a former executive..."

"land!"

Ballmer grabbed his hand in sudden excitement.

Lu Fei's eyes were shining with sharp light, and he was whispering in Ballmer's ears like the temptation of the devil, constantly encouraging him.

The dilemma Nokia is currently facing is: the aging Symbian system is becoming increasingly unpopular, and it is time to update it.

There are only two paths ahead.

The first is a small surgical operation: jointly develop Meego with Intel, and then transfer the original Symbian users.

The second one is internal medicine reform: that is to use a mobile phone system that is more mature than Symbian, such as Android.

"Or Windows phone system."

Ballmer blurted out excitedly.

"I think you understand what I mean, right?"

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth rose.

"Sure, give Nokia a Trojan horse."

Ballmer met him and smiled, a very cunning smile.

With more logic, we will continue to attack Nokia and exert pressure. Kallasvuo will not be able to reverse the situation and will step down sooner or later.

If Microsoft's "undercover" can be used to take his place, a purge can be launched to clean out all the original Nokia veterans, and then hire a large number of Microsoft employees.

Just like Motorola, the dove takes over the magpie's nest!

By then, it will be impossible not to sell it to Microsoft.

"Pleasant to work with."

Lu Fei held up the Coke.

"It's nice to work with you, Lu."

Ballmer patted his chest and promised that if Logic could help Microsoft win Nokia, it would definitely put an end to the patent dispute between Nokia and Logic. If there is a need to authorize, we will authorize, and if there is cooperation, we will cooperate.

The guns are unanimous, and they join forces to deal with Apple.

As for competition in the global market, everyone depends on their own abilities.

"How many balls shall we play?"

Lu Fei slapped his thigh and stood up.

Ballmer followed him to the court. Curry, Yi Jianlian and others looked at each other in shock when they saw the two super-rich men coming off the court to play.

After that, it’s not about playing ball, it’s about the world.

Like Yi Jianlian, although he can jump very high, he cleverly tries his best to miss the ball, which not only makes Ballmer feel that he is desperately defending, but also gives Ballmer a chance to score.

Curry, on the other hand, was clearly aiming at the basketball subconsciously, and even prepared to steal the ball. But in the end, reason defeated his instinct, and he cleverly retracted his hand and watched Mr. Lu shoot.

Playing basketball with leaders is an art.

"click~"

The accompanying photographer captured this scene——

Mr. Lu hit Curry in the face with a three-pointer.
