Vol 6 Chapter 859: Still need to work

On May 20th, when Bloomberg released a report with George Riddle and Jeff Williams exchanging photos of the agreement with a smile, this patent acquisition case that attracted widespread attention finally came to an end.

As a result, it can be said that everyone is happy. Nortel’s creditors have unexpectedly obtained high returns, and Apple, the largest smartphone company, has also obtained much-needed patents.

Greatly improved their ability to deal with patent litigation.

Soon, some people paid attention to the other party in this acquisition. The company of the richest man and the former man joined together, but finally gave up?

Everyone can't help but explore other reasons behind it. It stands to reason that billions of dollars should not be let them just give up, especially considering the situation Android faces and their poor patent reserves.

Experts are still speculating on the reasons. On the Internet, many people have begun to pay attention to the news of "Feng Yiping's first failure."

There are people who gloat for misfortune and think that Feng Yiping will finally fail, but there are also many who support him unconditionally.

On Quora, a question-and-answer website under NEXTDOOR, this topic is also very popular.

The world's first question-and-answer website has also become another unicorn company under NEXTDOOR. Many well-known investors have already valued it at least US$1.5 billion.

It is not surprising to say that, relying on NEXTDOOR's huge social empire, coupled with the good cooperation with Google, you can log in directly with Facebook, Twitter, Google and other accounts, so that Quora does not need to worry about how to develop users.

This is the reason why relying on the big tree to enjoy the coolness is also the reason why the strong are always strong.

And many bigwigs, including Feng Yiping, are active on Quora, which has also greatly increased its popularity and greatly improved user stickiness.

Until now, Quora has become a favorite website for many people.

Therefore, in the afternoon, Feng Yiping got a report from Quora that more than a hundred users asked him questions directly, hoping that he would answer why he chose to give up.

Is there any government reason behind this?

Did the companies represented by Apple jointly express their opposition on the day the auction started, leading to the intervention of the governments of the United States and Canada?

Or is it because, on the Apple side, there is a Canadian high-tech company BlackBerry?

It is said that after BlackBerry has obtained preferential conditions such as tax exemptions and subsidies from the government, they are actually equivalent to not spending a penny. Is this unfair competition caused by government subsidies? ...

The reason why many people ask this is because they fully believe that Feng Yiping's arrangement will be foolproof in such an acquisition.

Therefore, his failure can only be due to objective reasons.

This made Feng Yiping really moved and a little bit ashamed.

These supporters are unconditional support for themselves. Their likes are pure, but it is difficult for them to be regarded as a pure person.

At this time, he was not idle either. He and Mayer, as well as other company leaders in the park, were holding a meeting. The main force of the meeting was the team that Cummins brought back from Toronto.

Feng Yiping may be open-minded, but they can't be open-minded. At this time, their emotions are very low. After all, this is the first time they really messed up.

"Everyone," Feng Yiping cheered for them with a smile, "I hope you can look at the results from a more positive perspective,"

"It is true that we also hope that, like previous mergers and acquisitions, this time, we will also be able to succeed smoothly, but this time the failure may have no positive significance."

He walked behind Cummins, who was also hanging his head, and put his hands on his shoulders, "How can this not be a failure to prevent us from paying a high cost that is far beyond value?"

Cummins' waist straightened a bit, and the eyes of other members of the M&A team brightened.

"Everyone will also think that our failure to acquire Nortel's patents is actually more beneficial to ensure the smooth acquisition of Motorola."

"Although we can successfully acquire Nortel's patents, it will not necessarily have a negative impact on our acquisition of Motorola,"

"But the result now, undoubtedly completely eliminated such possible negative effects, right?"

Cummins' waist straightened a bit again, and the faces of other people in the team finally gained a bit more vibe.

Feng Yiping clapped his hands, and the sound was crisp, "So everyone, raise your head and straighten your chest, this time the defeat is nothing,"

"I also need everyone to go all out to invest in the acquisition of Motorola immediately,"

"I believe that everyone will prove our strength with a straightforward victory,"

At this time, everyone's emotions were finally fully mobilized.

But Meyer found that he really still had a lot to learn from Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping also returned to his position, "Of course, we must also sum up the lessons of this defeat,"

"But I hope that everyone will not spend too much time complaining about the betrayal of allies. I think everyone understands that each of us has a responsibility that needs to be held. What they do is also responsible for the interests of their company."

"This is just to remind us that if we still choose allies in the future, we must be more cautious. And, allies, I also found them, so the responsibility lies with me,"

Cummins immediately said, "Feng..."

If there is no Microsoft teaming up, if there is no Intel to join, they will give up before 3 billion US dollars.

With the share of Microsoft, a powerful ally, they can easily increase prices so many times.

Feng Yiping waved his hand to interrupt him, "I don't know if you have thought of another point. This time, one of the reasons why we finally lost is because our main opponent is Apple!"

"This is also the first time we have faced an established high-tech company like Apple,"

"Although we are very powerful, we have to say that compared with high-tech companies like Apple, we have a big gap in all aspects."

Rubin did not let himself call out, "We also make smart phones!"

"From this perspective, our failure this time is not incomprehensible,"

"Although we believe that one day, we will be the most outstanding company in the world, but now, Apple, it is stronger than us,"

He looked at everyone, "We have to admit this!"

"Face the gap is the foundation for growth and transcendence,"

Most people looked directly at him, and they were not discouraged.

This is good.

"I also want to remind everyone that in the future, we will compete head-on with more powerful and well-established companies like Apple."

"We can make sure that next time we compete with similar companies, for example, when we compete with Microsoft, we will have the upper hand?"

"So everyone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ his gaze swept across everyone's faces again, "We are not yet proud, we still need to work harder,"

"Even though some of our companies have performed very well," he looked at Zuckerberg and the others, "For example, as everyone knows, the current valuation of Facebook from all walks of life has exceeded $120 billion."

This undoubtedly makes everyone feel excited.

If the market value is below 100 billion and above 100 billion, there are two worlds.

With a value above 100 billion, you can confidently call yourself a big company.

"But the biggest difference between today's era and the old era is that unicorn companies are emerging in endlessly. Even a company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars may appear every year."

"Can't slack off everybody," he said earnestly.

At this moment, many people, like Zuckerberg, looked at Feng Yiping with scorching eyes. Feng Yiping’s words successfully aroused their fighting spirit...

…………

At 10 o’clock in the evening, Feng Yiping landed on Quora and answered the questions that netizens were concerned about. “The acquisition of Nortel Networks’ patents was ultimately unsuccessful. In addition to the successful operations of the Apple and BlackBerry Alliance, it was also because , We and our friends, Microsoft and Intel, agreed that the final price greatly exceeded our estimate of the value of this batch of patents..."

"Of course, it also has a lot to do with the plan I made that is not thorough and complete. I personally should be responsible for this."

"I want everyone to know that I will also make mistakes, and I may make mistakes in the future,"

"But I will definitely learn from this defeat..."

"Thank you very much for your support and care, thank you everyone!"
