"Mr. Lu, ATI has rejected our proposal to take a stake and prefers to be acquired by AMD, with an offer price of more than US$5 billion."
Lu Fei stood in the elevator and sighed.
Sun Hongjun brought extremely bad news on the phone. Just like in the previous life, Double A is still going to unite. Now, A card and N card occupy at least 95% of the independent graphics card market. From PC hardware to software, it really depends on
America's face.
"Mr. Lu, don't take it too seriously. There's nothing we can do about it. ATI only has graphics cards. What we want most is complementary technologies. Only Intel, Nvidia and AMD can do that."
"Yes, we only have money, not as much as AMD."
In the elevator, the mobile phone signal is very poor.
Lu Fei hung up the phone, when the door opened with a "ding", he walked quickly in the corridor, and then stopped at the door guarded by bodyguards.
"Dong dong dong."
Li Fuzhen said "come in", and when he turned around, his fluffy shoulder-length hair was flying, and his cold eyes saw that familiar face with a cynical smile.
She stood up from the sofa subconsciously, flipped up her hair on her temples, and the pearl necklace around her neck and the diamonds on her white skirt complemented each other, creating a gentle and elegant beauty.
"lady."
Lu Fei's eyes flashed with an intriguing light.
"Mr. Lu, I hope that when I work, you can call me 'Minister Li' or 'Director Li'."
Li Fuzhen seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and there was a hint of indifference hidden in his eyebrows.
"Is it working time now?"
Lu Fei spread his hands playfully, "I don't think it's convenient for them to be present for this conversation, madam."
"You guys go out first."
Li Fuzhen glanced at the secretary and his entourage without saying a word until the door clicked shut tightly, then he opened his mouth and said: "You are looking for me..."
"Why didn't you bring the child here?"
Lu Fei was very familiar with himself and looked around.
"This time I am on official business, not on a family vacation."
Li Fuzhen's face was as cold as frost.
Lu Fei looked straight at her, "I've been asking you via email what your child's name is, but you haven't replied. Now you should tell me what his name is, right?"
"Do you need to know?"
"You don't think it's necessary?"
"Ren Zaidong."
Li Fuzhen turned around and faced the bright moon, with his back to people.
"I saw in the news that his surname is Li, isn't he?"
Lu Fei touched his chin.
"You came to ask me if you knew?"
Li Fuzhen looked back sharply and glared angrily. Then he realized that he was very rude and exhaled: "The surname 'Li' is my father's request. He has imposed his will on our family. There is nothing I can do about it."
"In what month were you born?"
Lu Fei asked eagerly because the newspaper information was unknown.
"Why are you so concerned about Zaidong? You should care more about Yin Xin! She is 25, and she has pushed for blind dates so many times for you. Do you know!" Li Fuzhen held his arms in his arms, and his cold scolding was mixed with alienation, "You should not care about what you should care about.
, you shouldn’t be concerned about it, please remember your identity, Mr. Lu."
"Only when you take control of Samsung will we be able to do that."
Lu Fei suddenly became serious.
"As long as you understand."
Li Fuzhen said with a cold face: "I am here this time because I have reliable information that you and Toshiba have broken through the technical bottleneck of NAND flash memory and transformed from 2D to 3D structure..."
Lu Fei waved his hand: "We'll talk about it after the press conference. We'll only talk about personal matters today, not official matters."
"That's okay, you can go."
Seeing that he was in a daze, Li Fuzhen felt a sense of joy in his heart. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Aren't you leaving? It's almost 10 o'clock now. Aren't you still busy with the press conference? It's getting late."
"Good night, ma'am."
Lu Fei stood up and left without any hesitation.
Watching his figure disappear into the corridor, Li Fuzhen sat back on the sofa sadly, rubbed his hands together, and sighed:
"Good night."
………
Two days later, September 1st.
The venue for the press conference was no longer the Masconne Convention Center that had been used before, but was changed to the Moscone Convention Center with more seats.
There seemed to be a long queue at the door, with no end in sight.
Just like Apple fans call themselves "fruit fans", fans of logic also have a general term, "rational fans", but they act irrationally at all and regard logic as a sacred religion for pilgrimage.
“There are so many people!
Tim Cook was sitting in the car, looking at the dense crowd through the car window. This kind of scene only appeared at Apple's press conferences, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Jobs snorted coldly. In his sight, he could easily spot the figures of technology giants, Nokia President Kallasvuo, Motorola Zander, Qualcomm's Paul Jacobs, Sony's Kazuo Hirai...
"It's less than five years since it was established. If Logic was given 10 or 15 years, I'm afraid..."
Tim Cook couldn't even imagine that in just a few years, with music players, tablets, music headphones, music phones, etc., Logic could already keep pace with Apple.
In the list of "The World's Ten Most Innovative Companies in 2005" compiled by "Fortune", Apple is on the list, Logic, and Penguin are also on the list. As for Feigou.com, it was pushed out by Amazon, a competitor of the same type.
.
"What are you afraid of! As soon as the iPhone comes out, Apple will be great again. It will be useless to give China another 20 years!"
Jobs dragged his thin body out of the car, and as soon as he appeared, his iconic turtleneck top and blue jeans instantly attracted attention and cameras.
"Buy it, Steve Jobs!"
Soon someone recognized him, and the crowd was in a state of excitement, whispering to each other and talking at random.
"Jobs! Jobs is here!"
"Why did he show up at Logic's press conference?"
"Isn't it strange? Didn't you notice that this time is particularly lively? Texas Instruments, AMD, Intel, Infineon, NVIDIA, Samsung, TSMC, and almost all the semiconductor companies in the world are here!"
"All-star~"
"This is the influence of logic. The battle is getting bigger and bigger every year. I think it may surpass Apple's press conference."
"Removing 'maybe' has surpassed all Apple's previous launches. Don't you think that except for computers, Apple has nothing that can surpass logic? A buddy of mine who is an analyst at Goldman Sachs said that if the territory of logic is in the United States,
If so, the valuation can definitely exceed Apple by 25%. Unfortunately, since it is located in China, the valuation may exceed 10% at most."
"No way, I don't believe it?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I do. Do you know how many logicX units have been sold worldwide? A total of 13 million units! It is already comparable to Nokia's best-selling single product mobile phone. It's a pity that I don't know what Lu was thinking and was willing to give up.
The mobile phone business, otherwise, would not be as small as 10%."
"..."
Jobs's smile froze, and the logic that came to his ears was that he was criticizing Apple and praising Apple. His anger level kept rising, almost reaching the threshold of bursting. His face became gloomy, and he walked into the hall without looking back, and found the one that belonged to Apple.
seat.
Li Fuzhen had already taken his seat and was looking forward to it.
The exhibition hall, which can accommodate a full 5,000 people, was packed with seats.
Logic's mid-level and senior management and engineering team were sitting in the fifth row of the auditorium. Sun Hongjun specially held a bottle of Moutai in his arms and passed in front of his subordinates.
"Old Sun, you actually brought wine to your press conference?"
Guo Xing chewed gum.
"I have to drink some wine to calm down my shock. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid that I might die suddenly at the press conference, which would be a huge disaster."
As the second-in-command of logic, Sun Hongjun naturally has to appear on the front line at such a ground-breaking moment.
"What's the use of drinking alcohol? I tried it last time and it didn't help at all. I have to keep this on hand."
Guo Xing licked his lips and took out a brown plastic medicine gourd from his pocket. The label read "Suxiao Jiuxin Pill."
"If you have experience, give me a few pills later."
Sun Hongjun's eyes lit up. "With Cephalosporin and wine, you can leave as soon as you say it. What does it feel like to mix Suxiao Jiuxin Pill with wine?"
"Mr. Sun, Mr. Guo, it's better not to take medicine randomly."
Zhang Tianmei reminded weakly: "Mr. Lu explained in advance that five ambulances have stopped at the door. I think no matter what, we can still rescue him."
"Haha, Mr. Lu is so thoughtful."
The corner of Guo Xing's mouth twitched and he glanced at his watch, "Ahem, it's almost time. It's time for Mr. Lu to come on stage."
…………
"5,4,3,2..."
"1!"
As soon as the countdown ended, the spotlight focused on the stage and an alarm clock was projected on the screen, showing 10 o'clock sharp.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of light hit the entrance from the backstage to the front desk.
As always, Lu Fei was wearing pure white short-sleeves and dark blue jeans, and when he appeared with a trendy IT man attitude, thunderous applause immediately broke out on the scene.
"Snapped."
"Pah, pah, pah."
"Hi! Guys."
Lu Fei made various gestures with his fingers and pointed at the audience. Wherever he pointed, screams and cheers would erupt.
After an impassioned opening remarks, I went through the procedures with ease, from lmusic5, fantasy5, to kindle3, beat2, one after another, the top products, performance, parameters, functions, prices, and time to market were all revealed.
"Wow!"
The audience's exclamations did not last long. They were astonished and amazed, but there was no shock like the dimensionality reduction blow before, and the kind of heartbeat that penetrated into the bone marrow. People couldn't help but shout -
Damn it, awesome Glass!
"Sure enough, even logic can't come up with new tricks every year."
Major international manufacturers such as Sony, Nokia, and Motorola could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.
"I thought it would be a strong rival, but now it's nothing more than that."
Jobs smiled coldly: "If a company loses its innovative spirit, it is destined to become mediocre. Tim, maybe in 10 or 15 years, you will be able to see the dying logic."
"Probably."
Tim Cook adjusted his glasses, "Logic is undoubtedly in a growth crisis. Without the motivation and strength to develop new products, sooner or later the market share will be lost."
Just as friends and businessmen were gloating and even laughing out loud, the media were surprised to find a blind spot. Earphones, tablets, and music players have all been displayed, so why is the press conference not over yet?
Just when everyone was confused, Lu Fei walked to a display stand covered by gauze and said calmly:
"Last year, we released Logic's first feature phone, logic
"But in essence, music phones are still feature phones."
"Almost all mobile phones on the market are similar. At most, they differ in shapes such as candy bar, clamshell, folding, etc. So is there no way for mobile phones to make progress, and there is no room for further evolution?"
"My answer is, No!"
Lu Fei blurted out, and at the same time, two pictures of the front and back of "lphone3G" were displayed on the projection screen.
In an instant, like an earthquake, riots broke out.
The friends and businessmen sitting in the front row, especially the mobile phone manufacturers, are all more or less in a state of confusion, and there is a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission. The first reaction is almost--
Damn it, we were all deceived by Lu Fei’s thick eyebrows and big eyes!
mmp, Lu Fei, you said you don’t make mobile phones!
"Cook, did you hear that? Did you hear that?"
Jobs didn't feel proud at all, and said in a cold voice: "Logic is not stupid enough to not build a mobile phone even if there is a capacitive touch screen. I know this damn bastard Lu too well!"
"How could this happen, how could this happen..."
There are many people who have the same idea as Tim Cook. They find it difficult to accept it for a while, their emotions are mixed, and all their thoughts turn into a burning anger.
Young people don't respect business ethics and come to cheat and sneak attack!
Accompanied by bursts of boos, Lu Fei showed no stage fright and walked calmly from the far left to the far right of the stage, saying as he walked:
"Many people will question, Lu, you have clearly announced that you will not manufacture mobile phones on behalf of logic, why do you suddenly go back on your word now? Did you break your promise and destroy your goodwill?"
"Xu~"
The boos were getting louder and the curses were getting louder. Li Fuzhen was stuck in the crowd, secretly worried, and looked up at the man on the stage. He was still calm and confident.
"Wrong, absolutely wrong!"
When Lu Fei spoke, he spoke like a tactician, using his eloquence to the extreme, using the secrets of war to deceive others.
“I have announced to the public that I will never build functional phones!
It is completely different from the concept of "mobile phone" that you know now. This "mobile phone" is not that "mobile phone". What we want to do logically is not the well-known feature phone, nor the most discussed stylus phone. We are based on the feature phone.
Breakthrough innovation, if feature phones like Logic
smartphone?
Nokia, Motorola and other manufacturers looked at each other in disbelief, and Sony was even more angry. Kazuo Hirai blushed and scolded logic for being shameless, scolding the Chinese for loving to play this kind of word game.
Lu Sang's conscience is greatly damaged!
"Pfft!"
Seeing the Japanese company breaking the defense, Li Fuzhen smiled brightly, and his nervousness gradually disappeared. He looked at the eloquent Lu Fei on the stage, talking endlessly about "destructive innovation" and "sustaining innovation", "functional machine" and "intelligence".
The various differences between "machine".
These are all my words!
My words!
Jobs's sickly and thin face was flushed with anger, and his teeth were chattering. He was already holding back a lot of anger, but when he saw the words "lphone3G" appearing on the projection screen, his eyes suddenly darkened and he became angry.
I almost fainted.
Damn it, Mr. Lu!
Not only did you steal my inspiration, you also copied the name of the iPhone!
Ah! I have never seen such a shameless person!
Seeing the sick Steve Jobs crumbling, Tim Cook quickly gave him a hand, "Steve, what's wrong with you, Steve?"
Land thief! Bad thief! Traitor! Evil thief! I swear to kill you!
Jobs was out of breath, his chest was heaving and heaving like a windbox, and his anger was burning, burning from head to toe.
Tim Cook was worried that he couldn't bear the stimulation and got sick, so he tried to persuade him: "Steve, do you want me to send someone to take you to the hospital?"
"No, no, I want to stay."
Jobs supported his sick body and said, "I want to stay, I want to see how his iPhone 3G is doing, and which one is better, or my iPhone!"
At this moment, Lu Fei lifted the covering cloth, and a row of iPhone 3G engineering machines were placed in front of everyone. An image output module was installed on the back of each machine. As long as it was connected to a projector, the mobile phone interface could be simultaneously projected onto the screen.
superior.
After a while, the screen opening interface appeared on the projection screen.
Sun Hongjun was so panicked that he unscrewed the lid of Moutai and was about to take a sip from the bottle when he was immediately snatched away by Guo Xing.
He raised his neck, took a big sip, and then passed it to Bai Yongxiang next to him. It was passed from one engineer to another, releasing the pressure accumulated over the past two years.
Success or failure depends on this!
Lu Fei gently slid the slide button, as if God was opening a new door.
In full view of everyone, slide to unlock, success!
"Oh my God!"
"Monkey Raichet!"
"What is this? Is this a God phone!"
The whole audience was in an uproar, applauding thunderously, and cheering for joy.
Jobs was trembling with anger, convulsing like an epilepsy, and cursing: "This is my inspiration, Frank, Lu is a habitual thief, he stole my inspiration! Damn it, he stole the name of iPhone! He
What a steal of Apple’s moment to be great again!”
"Steve, are you OK?"
Tim Cook continues to offer comfort.
"Tim, check! Check!"
Jobs' words were filled with overwhelming anger: "Lu must have planted a commercial spy in Apple! It must be!"
In his sight, he saw Lu Fei grinning crookedly, grinning in pain, wishing to tear his mouth apart.
"In order to ensure the security of your smartphone, you can also set a power-on password. Now, let's do it again."
Lu Fei picked up the second iPhone 3G, entered four 0s, and opened the phone interface smoothly. In addition to daily applications such as phone calls and address books, the screen displayed Sogou browser, foxmail, QQ, Facebook, Line, etc.
Applications appeared one by one in Android system 1.0, mixing early iOS and MIUI styles, neither obtrusive nor unusually harmonious.
"hooligan……"
Li Fuzhen covered his mouth, his eyes flickered, his eyes were full of Lu Fei in the spotlight, and his heart was beating fast.
"Bravo!"
The stronger the applause and cheers from the audience, the more uneasy and uneasy the surrounded friends and businessmen became. They were all sitting on pins and needles. Suddenly——
"Oh, someone fainted."
"Ambulance, the ambulance is ready outside!"
One or two rational fans were so excited that their brains lacked oxygen and fainted mysteriously, which was comparable to a superstar concert.
