China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 374 Chapter 372. I want to pick up the slack

At the Apple mobile phone launch conference, Cao Yu discovered that Apple's first mobile phone was not designed with the IPHONE 4, so he planned to leave.

"Mr. Ren, how about we withdraw?"

"Leave at the beginning? Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."

Ren Zhengfei still wanted to watch it for a while.

"It's more than an hour, let's go."

Cao Yu knew everything Gang Leader Qiao was going to say next, so why waste time here.

But as soon as they walked out of the conference center, they were surrounded by a large number of reporters at the door.

"Mr. Ren, what do you think of this Apple phone?"

"Fortunately, it is just imitated by our Huawei P1, nothing special."

Ren Zhengfei was not polite when facing reporters.

Reporter: “You mean, Apple is copying your design?”

Ren Zhengfei: "You are the one who said it was plagiarism. I didn't say it. I just said it was imitation. However, their sliding screen unlocking is indeed our patent."

Ren Zhengfei's words made many American media very unhappy, and asked: "As far as we know, Apple has been researching mobile phones for three years. Mr. Jobs said that your Huawei P1 copied Apple's design, which caused the delay of Apple's first mobile phone." Released in one year.”

Cao Yu on the side heard this and interjected: "Is this how your American media reported it? What he said is what he said? I even said he plagiarized us."

"It is impossible for our American companies to copy Chinese designs."

Reporters seem to be very confident about the United States.

"Then you just wait and see. Our new phone will be officially released in six days. I hope you in the United States will not imitate our design in the future."

Cao Yu snorted coldly and said: "By the way, we will entrust a lawyer to sue Apple for infringement of Apple's sliding screen unlocking."

"Really? Do you really want to sue?"

American reporters were in disbelief that a Chinese company dared to sue an American company. Who gave him the courage?

"It's not just you Migos who have laws."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he and Ren Zhengfei left the venue elegantly and got in the car to Los Angeles.

As the birthplace of the subprime mortgage crisis, the United States has been increasingly affected by this storm, and many American people have gone bankrupt as a result.

In the financial sector of the United States, capital is having a hard time, and naturally there is no more money to invest in movies. In the digital field, as a special effects company, life is even more difficult.

When Cao Yu came here, he found that half of the people in the company were missing, including James.

He could only call James: "Director James, where are you?"

"I'm in San Francisco."

On the phone, James's voice seemed a little irritable.

"Haha, James, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, Cao, are you also here to push the Avatar's progress?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll wait for you at the company. We'll talk about it when we meet. I have something to ask you."

A few hours later, when Cao Yu saw James, he found that the international director's face looked very ugly.

"what happened?"

"21st Century Fox is pressing for movies every day, and the digital field is now unable to make ends meet. It is difficult to complete this project. I went to San Francisco to discuss cooperation with Industrial Magic Light, but their quotation was too high. If I left the special effects to them, the budget would exceed the budget! "

James has always had a bad temper, but now he talks like he's pouring beans.

"Oh? Can't make ends meet in the digital realm?"

"Not only can we make ends meet, we also have a debt, and now the company is laying off employees."

James is now very distressed. If the budget is increased, 21st Century Fox may not necessarily agree.

"It seems I came to the right place. Now is a good opportunity to detect leaks."

Cao Yu smiled inwardly, but had the same troubled look on his face, and sighed: "Well, this is really bad news."

James was the director, and he actually wanted to finish the movie as soon as possible, so he had no choice but to say, "Cao, can you increase your investment? Industrial Magic Light's price is too high."

Cao Yu did not answer this question. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "If I acquire the digital field, how much will it cost?"

"You want to buy this company?"

James immediately raised his head, looked at Cao Yu, and realized that the Chinese man was not joking, so he said: "With only 3000 million US dollars, we can overcome the difficulties in the digital field, and I don't have to look for Industrial Magic Light anymore." "3000 Ten thousand? Haha, that’s a bit much. How many shares of the company can I get with this money?”

Cao Yu did not agree immediately and planned to suppress the price.

"3000 million should be able to get 70% of the shares. However, I am only a shareholder, and the final decision is still in Michael's hands."

The Michael mentioned by James is the CEO in the digital field and the biggest boss.

"I don't have time to see him. Let's do this. My offer is 2000 million US dollars and 70% of the shares. If I offer 3000 million, I want all the shares. If you have a chance, talk to him."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he smiled and said: "There is still something going on over there in China. I must go back and take a look as soon as possible and wait for your good news."

"Okay, I'll go find him in a minute."

It is difficult to get investors to increase their budgets. It is better to give the digital field a new lease of life.

Leaving the digital realm, Cao Yu went to Marvel again.

"Iron Man" has been completed and is in post-production. We are looking for Industrial Magic Light. Post-production is expected to be completed in one or two months.

"It seems that the digital field is in trouble. The "Iron Man" project did not come to him. This time, the company will definitely be included."

Cao Yu thought about it silently for a while and felt that there was still great hope for him to win this company.

On the way back to Yanjing, China, Cao Yu said to Ren Zhengfei, who was traveling with him: "Mr. Ren, after you go back, you will find a lawyer to sue Apple. They didn't even say hello, they used our sliding screen unlocking technology without permission, and said we plagiarized. What an attitude. It’s too arrogant.”

"Haha, Xiao Cao, the United States has always been accustomed to hegemony, and even if we sue, it is not easy to get a result that is beneficial to us. That's why they are so confident."

Although Ren Zhengfei also plans to sue, he is just worried that the process will not go smoothly.

"Then we have to sue! Fortunately, the relationship between the two countries is still good now, and they also claim to respect patents. If the United States lets it go, it will be a slap in the face."

Cao Yu also knows the difficulty, but if he doesn't do it, the United States will become even more arrogant.

"Although what you say is good, when a lawsuit is fought, the usual tactic of the United States is to use the computer system to argue that what we in China install are pirated copies."

"Hey"

Hearing this, Cao Yu was speechless.

China dare not say 100%, but the Windows system installed on 95% of computers is indeed pirated.

After a while, he said: "By the way, Mr. Ren, how is the chip?"

Ren Zhengfei said: "As you know, this P2 uses Kirin chips, but the processing is handed over to Samsung. Now BYD is still overcoming the difficulties in processing technology, and the results will be seen within three to five years at the earliest."

"I understand that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. After all, we are already lagging behind, but if we don't do it, sooner or later we will fall even further behind."

Cao Yu naturally found out that Samsung had the support of Miguo Godfather behind it, and the development of semiconductors had already surpassed that of its small days.

As for China, it started late, and many talents have gone to the United States. If it wants to develop, it requires huge investment in human, material and financial resources.

But if it can be done, the prospects are still great.

When he returned to China, the first thing Ren Zhengfei did was hold a press conference to formally sue Apple for infringement.

Originally, Apple released its first mobile phone, which made the American market happy. I didn't expect that this Chinese company would do something like this.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the eyes of the world fell on Apple.

"FUXK! The thief sued us!"

Jobs, who originally wanted to see Apple sell well, received the news and cursed in the office while holding his chest.

In his mind, Huawei P1 copied his idea, but the damn traitor has not been discovered yet.

Cook asked from the side: "Steve, now that they are suing, how should we respond?"

"Isn't it just a lawsuit? We are an American company, so why are we afraid of them?"

Jobs said dissatisfied: "He sued them, so we sue Huawei for plagiarizing our design. We have documents of the design process. These are all evidence!"

At this point, he felt that his idea was good. He might be able to dig out spies and make this IPNONE 3G popular.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Cook agreed, and then said: "By the way, Steve, I heard that Huawei will also release their second mobile phone on January [-]th. Do you want to go and see it for yourself this time?"

"I'm not going. I've made an appointment with the doctor and will have a physical examination in two days. You can go."

Jobs shook his head and arranged: "Also, expand the promotion of IPHONE 3G and seize the market."
