Vol 6 Chapter 833: Old routine

After the strategy was set, Feng Yiping was very relieved to let go of the relevant advancement. After Mayer joined, the employees may not feel as relaxed as before, but correspondingly, the efficiency has been considerably greater than before. The promotion.

However, they are not without friction. Just when the ties with Nortel have reached a considerable degree and they are preparing to officially announce the relevant situation to the public, Meyer and Feng Yiping have a dispute because of some problems.

"I know it's faster," Meyer looked at the statement prepared on the tablet, "but this is by no means a public statement that a high-tech company should have,"

"Privately, I am not against you using more exaggerated language to target them,"-in fact, she knows very well that in private, everyone's words against these Android patents are very direct and fierce, even she , WTF didn’t say anything less, "But for a statement of this nature, I don’t allow such a plan,"

Rubin who was called over quietly looked at his toes, don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me.

"Is it not painful or itchy to say the same, soft diplomatic rhetoric?" Feng Yiping shook his head, "We have already said too much,"

"This time, I am too lazy to follow them with those imaginary things, it's boring!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Mayer knew that there would be no positive results after the talks, "This is in the scope of execution..."

"Once," Feng Yiping held up a finger, "just this time, you listen to me,"

"Mayer, you have to understand the psychology of our users. If they are so hypocritical and empty, they will definitely not attract their attention, let alone resonance,"

"Trust me, that's right!" Feng Yiping knocked twice on her table and left with a smile.

Rubin lowered his head again, I never saw the look in your eyes just now, never.

…………

The Silicon Valley in May is extremely lively, and the source of the excitement is that some people fall into the popular Android.

On the second Monday of May, Bloomberg released a news that shocked many companies. Android announced that it intends to purchase 6,000 Nortel patents for US$900 million.

At the same time, Android CEO Rubin said, “Because the market share of the Android operating system is rising, unwilling competitors want to use means outside the market to obtain benefits...”

He bluntly stated, “As a high-tech company, Android highly respects intellectual property rights, but we are not ashamed of those who are for self-interest, which will affect more users, can use cheaper mobile devices, and thus easily intervene in the Internet. What he did..."

"I want to reiterate again that although Android is facing some threats due to the efforts of some companies, we will definitely protect the ecosystem of Android. The acquisition of Nortel is one of our efforts to this end..."

"...We would like to warn some people that your attempt to kill Android will definitely not be realized. Your suppression will only make Android better and better. Android will only make you more and more helpless. Those who are now marginalized, will continue Coming down, it will be more marginalized..."

"We believe that in the next year, excluding other mobile devices, there will be more than 250 million smartphones with Android activated,"

"And this is just a small goal for us!"

This is nothing like what a CEO said, and it immediately drew a huge response. People once again saw the sturdyness of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs with technical backgrounds.

However, if you are a little bit motivated like this, it is very popular with smartphone users, not only Android smartphone users, but many smartphone users such as IOS and Symbian also support Rubin's statement-as for Windows Phone users, sorry, that is really scarce.

Even if these users, such as iPhone users in some countries and regions, usually despise people who use Android devices, they still agree with Rubin's statement.

It can only be said that Android's free and open source is morally higher than Microsoft and Apple.

Since the Internet was invented, one of its cores has been free sharing, and Android is the product representative that conforms most to this point.

For a while, not only did Microsoft's reputation and image, but also the reputation of Microsoft, which has not been good for the past few years, was once again fancyly complained by many users. Apple, which has become more and more popular in recent years, has also been criticized by many users on the Internet.

In essence, many users hope that Apple, which is priced higher and higher, will drop the price while maintaining the same experience.

And if there is no competition from Android, do you still want Apple to cut prices? How can it be? ...

After receiving the relevant summary, Mayer smiled and shook his head, making him guess right again!

This is because Feng Yiping knows that many people don’t think too much of the excitement. At the same time, with the development of society, especially the changes in the international trend in recent years, many people are always smiling at those who are always calm. , Who pretends to be an upper-class society, is getting more and more disgusted. Those are too fake and they are too fake.

On the contrary, the grassroots culture, which is not overly modified and close to life, is becoming more and more popular.

If Rubin's remarks matched his usual style, he quickly brought a lot of support to Android.

But it is conceivable that, correspondingly, other companies are not so happy at this time.

…………

To be honest, Rubin's statement made Cook, who was actively promoting private placement, once very discouraged. Is this synergy? No, this is Chi Guoguo's target, or the bayonet's close target.

So, Feng Yiping, isn't your proposal a strategy to paralyze us?

In view of Jobs's perception of Android, especially Rubin, in order not to irritate him, he had to try to conceal relevant information from Jobs.

At the same time, it also reminded him that Apple must take a foot in this matter. Objectively speaking, they are not much better than Android in the relevant patent pool.

This matter is not difficult to implement, because before they have contacted Nortel, Nortel proactively contacted them, "Are you interested? Would you like to quote?"

Microsoft's Ballmer, it is difficult to be indifferent to Rubin, who is not clear but is better than a name-calling public target. They are all well-respected companies. Would you like to be decent?

In particular, what Rubin said "competitors who are not reconciled to obtain benefits by means outside the market", and "the ones who are now marginalized, will be more marginalized in the future", as long as they understand these things. People must know who this refers to.

In view of the widespread attention of related news, he knew that Microsoft would inevitably be labeled by many people as "death money", "blocking the development of new technologies" and other negative hats~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But we make money by our ability , Is this wrong?

He was the same as Cook, and immediately came up with a similar idea. Although your Android is the first to acquire Nortel's patent, we will definitely let your wishful thinking come to nothing.

He did have this confidence. At this time, Microsoft had nearly $50 billion in cash in his hands.

Similarly, before they had contacted Nortel, Nortel took the initiative to approach them...

Nortel, which hopes to sell the patents in its hands to a good price, has also contacted other powerful and willing giants, such as Intel and Qualcomm.

At the same time, more companies took the initiative to contact Nortel, including even BlackBerry, which has had a difficult time recently, and Sony and Ericsson, which are already weak in mobile phones.

It should be said that the agreement reached by Microsoft and HTC allows them to see a new way of making money.

At the same time, RPX, a patent insurance company established in 2008 with KPCB and other well-known venture capital investments, is also actively approaching Nortel.

This time, it represents an enterprise alliance. This alliance includes many mobile phone companies with temporary strength and influence. Many of them are from China.

They also participated in the bidding in this way because they believed that since it is something Feng Yiping likes, it must be right.

At the same time, in order not to be led by Nortel, who wants to sell for a good price, these enterprises and enterprise alliances are also in contact with each other and connected in series. For a while, it is really lively.

But Ballmer did not expect that he would receive a call from Feng Yiping at such a juncture. During the call, Feng Yiping said with a smile, "Ballmer, are you interested in joining us again?"
