Chapter 547
The interior of the United States is not monolithic, and the capital forces can generally be divided into two major factions according to industry.
Oldmoney, which is mainly based in the old industrial era, has a deep foundation. At this time, they still hold the political discourse power in the United States and have penetrated into all aspects of society.
And Bill Gates, the new tycoons who have risen by software programming or the Internet, may be richer, but their political strength is not as good as conservatives.
Lu Yi obviously wanted to sow discord, but Bill Gates couldn't do anything about it, because he was an extreme egoist after all, and he would never do anything that would benefit the world at the expense of a dime.
Bill Gates looked at Lu Yiming: "Sometimes I really wonder if you were sent by the devil. Every word you say seems to have the magic power to inspire people's hearts."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "To each other."
Just as Lu Yiming predicted, Bill Gates did not intend to do anything. After all, whether the United States will decline or not is still unknown.But he would like to see the power of the conservatives weakened.
It can only be said that people in high positions often don't say that the overall situation is the most important thing, let alone put the national interest first.Because in their eyes, they are the overall situation, and their own interests are the most important.
After talking on the phone with Bill Gates, Lu Yiming didn't take this matter to heart.He can only say that the current level of productivity is not enough to get rid of the law of historical cycles.Even if the future of the United States and the future of Xia are placed in front of Bill Gates, nothing will be changed.
The only thing people can change is themselves.
In a place like the United States, people may not even be able to change themselves. Even if they can see the future, they can only watch the future come towards them.That kind of pain is probably like when you are cornered by someone, and then the person raises his fist the size of a casserole pot, he opens his mouth to curse, you can clearly see the rotten leaves between his teeth and the spray coming towards you. Salivation, but you can't move, and then you get sprayed in the face, and it's like being punched again.
In the hotel where he stayed, Lu Yiming put his arms around Shi Qingxue's slender waist and said, "Let's go shopping in the afternoon. After all, I don't come to Hollywood very often, so it's not worth it if I don't go shopping."
Hollywood is not only the birthplace of global fashion, but also the center of the global music and film industry, with the world's top entertainment industry and luxury brands.Therefore, in Hollywood, not only can you appreciate the most developed film industry culture in the world, but you can also go crazy and buy anything you want on the Avenue of Stars.
"Okay."
Shi Qingxue readily agreed.
The two left the hotel and went to the Avenue of Stars. They didn't take anyone with them, only Zhao Tiezhu followed far behind.
In the luxury store, Lu Yiming took a fancy to a handbag that cost as much as three thousand dollars. It was exquisitely made and fashionable.He pointed to the handbag and said to Shi Qingxue, "This bag looks good and fits your temperament very well."
"Hey, waiter, please take this bag down for me to have a look."
At the counter, the waiter was wearing earphones and listening to the portable CD. She raised her head to look at Lu Yiming, and then began to shake her head following the portable CD, completely ignoring Lu Yiming's intentions.
At this moment, two white men also walked into the store, and they also saw the handbag on the glass counter at a glance.
The man only said a few words in English, and the waiter quickly took off his earphones, and respectfully took out the handbag on the counter.
The man and the woman exchanged a few words, and then the woman put the bag across her body, and turned it around in front of the man a few times.
At this moment, the man and the woman suddenly exerted their strength and ran out of the luxury store. Before the waiter could react, they had already disappeared.
After several seconds, the waiter ran out of the counter. The street was bustling with people, and he couldn't find the two people just now.
Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue witnessed the whole process with their own eyes.
Shi Qingxue said in surprise, "This... robbery?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "This is called buying for zero yuan, a feature of American emperors. It deserves it. Selling it to me is still a good deal. Now it's all right, I guess she has to pay for the loss."
Shi Qingxue said worriedly: "Then it's quite dangerous here, there are actually people robbing in the street."
While the two were talking, the alarm sounded in the store, and many people around noticed the situation here, and the patrolling policemen also walked over here.
In order to avoid trouble, Lu Yiming took Shi Qingxue and left quickly.
The two walked around, and just after returning to the hotel, Li Yiwen came to find him.
"You're back, and you can't get through the phone."
Lu Yiming took out his mobile phone to check, and found that there was no signal.
"The United States has its own national conditions here, so it's normal that we can't get through. What's wrong?"
Li Yiwen said: "Two pieces of news. One is that when there were suddenly a lot of saltwater funds shorting US stocks in the newspapers, they were brought out for nothing. I think someone is behind the scenes."
This incident was within Lu Yiming's expectation, and Lu Yiming was not surprised. He asked, "Is there one more thing?"
Li Yiwen said: "One more thing is that the sales of our Tianyin MP3 came out last month, and the sales in North America dropped a lot month-on-month, especially in the few days at the end of the month, the sales were almost cut in half."
This incident immediately caught Lu Yiming's attention.After all, it's not been a day or two since he was scolded in the newspapers, but Tianyin's MP3 sales plummeted, but it really affected Lu Yiming's interests.
"What's going on? Could it be that the Dimension has branched out again? I don't remember them being so awesome?"
Li Yiwen said: "No, I asked the people below to investigate. They said that Apple is going to release something called IPOD next month. That Jobs, in the name of patriotism, said that real Americans should use their own MP3 players. Products, Apple IPOD is an authentic domestic product, if you love your country, you can buy IPOD. Then it attracted many American users to hold currency for purchase.”
Lu Yiming: "..."
Good guy, why does this taste feel so strong?
And the point is, this fucking is my word.
Shouldn't it be a certain Xia country technology company that plays the national brand?You fat apple with big ears, why did you play this trick?
Most importantly, in Lu Yiming's impression, wouldn't this thing not be released until [-]?How to interview more than a year in advance?What kind of way is this?
What Lu Yiming didn't expect was that his rebirth had changed too many things, the flapping wings of the butterfly had blown a gust of wind on the other side of the ocean.Seeing that the Tianyin MP3 was selling very well in the North American market, Qiao Gang couldn't sit still, and directly asked the IPOD team to speed up the research and development progress, and made the thing a year in advance.
Li Yiwen asked: "What should we do now? Although we and you still have a bit of an ecological first-mover advantage, Apple doesn't talk about martial arts, and directly plays the patriotic card."
Americans are the most unreasonable. What about a free market, the premise is that Xiaguo enterprises cannot threaten the development of American enterprises.
Lu Yiming said with a smile: "The United States actually started to play the patriotic card. I really didn't expect it. It seems that some people are jealous of us making money. Those who said in the newspaper that we are shorting US stocks are probably also them? Belittle us on the one hand, and elevate ourselves on the other hand, I am too familiar with this routine. It can only be said that the Onsa Monkey is the Onsa Monkey, with only such a small brain capacity."
After complaining a few words, Lu Yiming continued: "Since they didn't follow the rules, there is no need for us to be polite to them. Just sue Apple for IPOD technology infringement."
Li Yiwen was taken aback: "You are in the United States, and you are suing an American technology company for infringement?"
Lu Yiming said disapprovingly: "Why not? Do I have to bear any grievances myself?"
The original Tianyin MP3 was designed by Lu Yiming according to the IPOD, and he also registered the patent first.
Apple's IPOD product may have been excellent in the original world, but Lu Yiming did not believe that the IPOD was a full year ahead of the original and did not "borrow" Tianyin MP3's technology.
at the same time.
Apple.
The emaciated Qiao gang leader was furious at his opponents.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Why can't I get the copyright of the song from the Recording Association of America?"
In front of him, several subordinates were silent, and an executive bit the bullet and said: "Mingyuan Technology has reached an agreement with the Record Association..."
Before he finished speaking, he was roughly interrupted by the leader of i Qiao.
"I don't want to hear any excuses, I'll give you a week, if you can't figure it out, pack up and leave."
Joe, who founded Apple with one hand, was kicked out of the company by his own company's shareholders, and now he is invited back again. Qiao's temper still hasn't restrained in the slightest, and he is still the feared "tyrant".
Faced with the violent Gang Leader Qiao, his subordinates had no choice but to discuss how to get the copyright of the Recording Association.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and the company's co-founder Steve Gary Wozniak walked in.
In his hand, he held a court summons.
"I just received a copy of this, I thought you'd better look at it."
He shoved the court subpoena in front of Jobs.
Jobs's already large protruding eyeballs suddenly became larger, and it looked extremely incongruous with his slender face.
"What's going on here? We actually received a court summons?"
Steve Gary Wozniak said: "Tunein sued us for infringing their patents."
"Tianyin Company?"
"This is the thing. I have to say that it looks too similar to our product."
The news that Apple was sued by Tianyin for copyright infringement quickly spread due to the spreading of the rumors.
Today's Apple is already a giant company, and its every move has attracted everyone's attention.Suddenly being sued for infringement is nothing new.For a time, many media have set their sights on Apple.
On this day, Leader Qiao accepted an interview with a group of journalists and media.
"What do you think about being sued by Tianyin for plagiarism?"
Leader Qiao said without hesitation: "Apple did not copy! As we all know, Tianyin is a Xia Guo company. Xia Guomang is backward, and there is no technology at all. Apple wants to make MP3 products. Plagiarism? It's a joke. I have asked the legal department to investigate this matter, and Apple will never accept any form of slander!"
Faced with Joe's defense, the reporter was completely unmoved.
"I heard that the new product IPOD that Apple is developing has largely copied the ideas and technology of Tianyin MP3. Is this true?"
Jobs' face suddenly became very ugly, and he immediately retorted: "How can you say that product development is plagiarism? This is at best a reference!"
As a latecomer, Apple's technology accumulation is insufficient, and infringement is normal. Many products of large companies actually infringe on each other, and finally reached a settlement.The key is MP3, the technology is there. For a company like Apple, there is no technical difficulty at all.The key is that Tianyin released it early, so wouldn't it be copyright infringement if you released it later?
It's just that Gangzhu Qiao didn't expect that Lu Yiming would actually use this thing to make a fuss, and directly put Apple in the position of a plagiarist.
In front of the TV, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen were watching the video clips of Gangzhu Qiao being interviewed.
Seeing Chief Qiao's rage, Li Yiwen said with a smile, "Did you go too far with this move? Look, you've made Chief Qiao angry."
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "It's just business blackmailing each other, what is this? Didn't you just say that someone in the newspaper said that I was a thief from the East who looted the wealth of countless Americans? What? They can only blackmail me, so I will Can't I hack them?"
Tianyin's lawsuit against Apple for plagiarism was quickly reported back to Xia Guo through the three major portals, and it became a hot topic on the Internet.
Xiaguo enterprises in the 90s were basically accused of copyright infringement because of copycats, and now there is a local company that went to the United States to fight foreign capital infringement lawsuits?
For a while, Mingyuan Technology's popularity has been greatly improved.After all, if you dare to file a lawsuit with a company in the United States, if nothing else, this force will come up all at once.
In the United States, there are also many people who look at Mingyuan Technology with admiration. At least after this lawsuit, many people subconsciously compare Mingyuan Technology with a technology company like Apple.
It's very simple, in people's subconscious, only equal opponents will fight each other, how can one in the sky and the other in the ground become opponents?Therefore, being able to compete with Apple, Mingyuan Technology will naturally be pulled to the same height as Apple.
This is the reason why many companies like to touch famous porcelain companies. If they fail, everyone will take it as a joke. Once they succeed, they don’t know how much benefit it will bring.
Bill Gates called curiously and asked, "Why are you arguing with Mr. Joe?"
Although Microsoft and Apple are competitors, the relationship between Bill Gates and Joe is actually very good.Although I later turned my face because of business matters, I would often contact and communicate with each other on weekdays.So, after learning that Lu Yiming had quarreled with Chief Qiao, he immediately called.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's not my fault, it was him who made the first move."
Bill Gates already knew the whole story, so of course he wouldn't believe Lu Yiming's words: "Obviously you were the first to report Apple's infringement."
Lu Yiming said: "Didn't he infringe first? If he didn't infringe, how could I sue him? Don't you think so?"
Bill Gates said: "In any case, the Joe Gang is playing the patriotic card. For the United States, you are an outsider, and public opinion is not on your side."
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said, "So?"
Bill Gates said: "Do you want to change public opinion by doing charity?"
The so-called "by doing charity" means donating money.Many rich men in the United States like to call themselves big philanthropists.
In January of this year, Bill Gates had just stepped down as president of Microsoft.He now holds a 1.3% stake in Microsoft.He and his wife run the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.Since [-], Bill Gates has donated more than US$[-] billion to the foundation.
American law stipulates that only 5.00% of charitable donations need to be paid out each year, and the remaining 90.00% can be used for business activities. As long as it is not lower than this ratio, the money will not be taxed.
That is to say, originally you need to pay 100 U.S. dollars in taxes for 30 million U.S. dollars, but you only need to contribute 5.00%, which is 100 U.S. dollars, for charity, and the [-] million U.S. dollars is tax-free.
It is equivalent to paying 5.00% of tax—even this 5.00% is still left-handed and right-handed, and put into the foundation's account from your own account.
However, these millionaires’ means of tax avoidance in the name of charity, after being carefully packaged, immediately won various praises for “being kind and generous”, “donating righteousness and donating wealth”, and “helping the poor and the poor”.Especially in the Kingdom of Xia, a billionaire like Bill Gates who claims to be a "naked donation" is short of the rebirth of the Bodhisattva with a halo on his head.
Facing Bill Gates' proposal, although Lu Yiming didn't think so, he didn't reject it directly, but said: "I will seriously consider your suggestion."
Bill Gates said: "If you are interested, Linda and I held a charity dinner this weekend. If you have time, come and see."
"Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming said to Li Yiwen: "Bill Gates called me and wanted me to donate to charity."
Li Yiwen has never been in contact with this, so his face is full of doubts: "He is the richest man in the world, you donate money to him?"
"That's not true. There are quite a lot of twists and turns. He has a charity dinner on Saturday. I plan to go and have a look."
Li Yiwen felt even more surprised: "You don't really intend to donate money, do you?"
In Li Yiwen's impression, Lu Yiming was stingy, even buying ice packs for only a dime.Ask him to donate?how can that be possible?
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, and said, "I'm planning to have a little fun, and I'll see if I can get [-] million US dollars out."
"What the hell? You want to donate [-] million to Bill Gates?"
Li Yiwen felt a little broken.
Lung almost coughed out

Facing Bill Gates' proposal, although Lu Yiming didn't think so, he didn't reject it directly, but said: "I will seriously consider your suggestion."
Bill Gates said: "If you are interested, Linda and I held a charity dinner this weekend. If you have time, come and see."
"Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming said to Li Yiwen: "Bill Gates called me and wanted me to donate to charity."
Li Yiwen has never been in contact with this, so his face is full of doubts: "He is the richest man in the world, you donate money to him?"
"That's not true. There are quite a lot of twists and turns. He has a charity dinner on Saturday. I plan to go and have a look."
Li Yiwen felt even more surprised: "You don't really intend to donate money, do you?"
In Li Yiwen's impression, Lu Yiming was stingy, even buying ice packs for only a dime.Ask him to donate?how can that be possible?
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, and said, "I'm planning to have a little fun, and I'll see if I can get [-] million US dollars out."
"What the hell? You want to donate [-] million to Bill Gates?"
Li Yiwen felt a little broken.
