Vol 6 Chapter 835: General

To be honest, when he received this news, Ballmer was really depressed and aggrieved.

Although Microsoft's development momentum over the years is not as good as those of emerging companies-this includes a series of companies from Feng Yiping; because these years, there are no impressive products, and Microsoft has long lost star companies. Halo...

But to be honest, those are all clouds, or that is what they hoped. After not easily dissolving the destiny of the split, their style has become a lot more restrained.

However, money is still making a lot of money.

Although recently, in terms of revenue, Apple did dominate them, but when it comes to profit, what Apple, what Google, they really don't care about it.

It's really been for many years, no one can make Ballmer, who is making a lot of money with Microsoft, so worried.

We just agreed with you to bid for Nortel’s patents together. With full goodwill, we returned your lack of sincerity. With the backfoot, you will buy Motorola, which holds more patents?

The last time you proposed to cooperate, mainly for your own purposes, you made up your mind from the beginning that we will not succeed in the acquisition. This time you proposed to cooperate, and we just agreed to join forces, so you can't wait to stabb us.

Ballmer really wanted to call Feng Yiping backhand, Mr. Feng, will your conscience hurt?

How did you manage to talk about cooperation with us with a smile, and at the same time intensively target us?

But Ballmer is a mature person. At this time, he can only feel at the words Cooke said, Feng Yiping is really getting more and more "mature"!

Even Ballmer responded like this, not to mention Microsoft up and down.

Knowing that Feng Yiping proposed to bid for Nortel’s patents together, Microsoft executives generally regarded this as a signal that Feng Yiping proactively released, a signal that they look forward to the reconciliation of their relationship.

At this time, after hearing the news, many of them, really, out of anger, proposed to jointly bid for Nortel, then what is the release of goodwill, it is just to paralyze us, so that their schemes It's just a despicable means of going smoothly.

This fully shows that Feng Yiping has no intention of sharing patents with Microsoft at all. They clearly want to firmly press Microsoft on patents-they are full of betrayal anger!

What is aggrieved is that anger returns to anger. Objectively speaking, Feng Yiping's doing this does not allow people to make mistakes.

His proposal of cooperation certainly does not mean to cooperate with Microsoft on all projects, even if the two projects are essentially the same.

Just like Microsoft, while maintaining a good friendship with Feng Yiping and his company, they didn’t let go of the opportunity to suppress them. It can be said that Feng Yiping’s Android is currently facing the greatest pressure. .

It's just that Feng Yiping had acted in the past, obviously not like this. Before, didn't he really always think about his partners, such as bidding for Yahoo with SoftBank?

When did he do such a thing as an enthusiastic hug and a cruel knife stabbing, without a trace of smoke? ...

So, in the final analysis, the reason why they are depressed is that Feng Yiping, who was in the same way with the Sunshine Boy, who could not do the same thing in person, is now the same as the people who do it face-to-face and two or three behind them. .

They don't feel sorry for this sentimentally, they just feel the pressure.

But when a guy with great vision has no bottom line just like them... then it is true that the gangster can martial arts, and no one can stop it.

Anger and aggrieved, there was nowhere to express their anger. Several executives went directly to Ballmer, hoping that he would withdraw his promise to jointly bid for Nortel patents with Feng Yiping, but they were all blocked by Ballmer's secretary.

How is it possible to do such a thing?

Not long after Microsoft announced the news of their cooperation, now it withdraws its promise, and that will only make Microsoft spurned by everyone again-maybe this is exactly what Feng Yiping expected.

What's more, before his mood calmed down, Ballmer knew he had more important things to think about now.

Android intends to acquire Motorola and has reached a certain degree of consensus with Motorola. Behind this may not only be the intention of expanding their patent pool.

Is it possible to show that Feng Yiping already believes that in the mobile field, relying only on software operating systems is not enough to gain an advantage, and hardware must be supported?

In this regard, there is already a best example, Apple.

Although the overall share of the Android camp is higher in the smartphone market, none of the mobile phone manufacturers in the Android camp can compare with Apple.

Ballmer stood up anxiously, holding his hands in a small office, and Android wanted to acquire Motorola, so Microsoft would have to seriously consider acquiring other hardware suppliers.

And this goal is really not so easy to find.

Although everyone knows that in the smart phone market, Nokia is no longer saved, but Nokia's mobile phone business at this time is even higher than most manufacturers in the Android camp.

BlackBerry, although they have been promoting a system that can rival Android, it looks like they will bounce again this year. The tablet they launched following the trend also seems to be a joke, but it still has nearly 70 million users. The difficulty and cost of these two companies are obviously not generally high.

what should we do?

Ballmer, who is completely uninterested in producing smartphone hardware, became more irritable at this time. Feng Yiping's actions will inevitably disrupt their pace and even have a huge impact on their established mid- to long-term arrangements. ... Feng Yiping, you are the general!

However, compared to the long-term rival, the recent ally Cook, Ballmer's current troubles are really nothing.

Even at night, the Apple headquarters, which has always been calm and arrogant, was obviously panic that could not be concealed.

Cook, who was still in the office, was answering a phone call. At this time, there were at least five calls he had to answer. None of these calls were calm, they were all blamed, "Such a big deal. It's a matter, why didn't we get a little bit of news in advance?" "Why are you still promoting additional issuance to the joint fund at this time?" "Do you have any way to make our stock price not too ugly after the market opens tomorrow?" "...

At this time, Cook was also multiple annoyed.

First of all, he believes that these guys, no matter before or now, absolutely dare not talk about the same issues with Jobs in this way and attitude.

Secondly, he also felt deeply deceived, and said that you do not produce smart phones?

Acquiring Motorola but not producing mobile phones~www.wuxiaspot.com~ That is equivalent to acquiring Ford but not producing cars-who would believe it?

Are you thinking of me as a fool?

At this time, Cook couldn't help thinking about the aspect he didn't want most, is it possible, Jobs... Did he know Feng Yiping's plan in advance?

But in consideration of the future of Laurenna and the children, he finally chose to stand with Feng Yiping and endorse Feng Yiping?

No, no, definitely not. Jobs will definitely not do such a thing. While thinking about his own thoughts, he tried to calmly explain to the investors over the phone, "Your worry is completely unnecessary. , I think you know that even if you want to follow the same path as us, not everyone can become an Apple."

"At the same time, I would like to reiterate to you once again that we have got a very reliable guarantee that Android will not produce smartphones...Steve?" He tried not to let his voice beat up, then you can just ask Jobs. Do you think so too?

"Yes, I'm as convinced of this as Steve... Do you think it doesn't make sense? No, it's totally understandable... Selling stocks?" Cook's voice became cold. "I have no objection at all. It happens that we There are plans to buy back some of the shares,"

"Bang" He hung up the phone heavily and picked up the next one, but what he wanted to do most at this time was to have a good talk with Jobs.

A single news disturbed the entire market, causing both Microsoft and Apple to become anxious to get hot on Android. At this time, it was also not much better. Rubin's phone was also exploding at this time. The mobile phone alliance was opened. The members contacted him one after another. It was Samsung who started the trouble. Unsurprisingly, Kwon Wu-hyun yelled angrily on the phone, "Rubin, do you want us to withdraw from the alliance?"
