Dong Jianguo was furious when he heard that Lu Fei had refused the invitation on the grounds that "it was the period when his career was on the rise".
His own daughter worked for him and gave him free sex.
Even the hotel bills were recorded in Yin Fanka's account. How dare such a "Grandet" be so ruthless? So cold?
"He's just too busy."
Yin Fanka had been enlightened for a long time and tried to make amends for him: "Now we are in Seattle having a meeting with Microsoft, Motorola, and Google. Dad, we are going to Seattle."
"Let's go find him? Who does he think he is? President? Do you think it's great to come with Lucian? He doesn't deserve it, and neither does Lucian." Dong Jianguo cursed.
"Dad, can you stop doing this?"
Yin Fanka was speechless for a moment, thinking that he was so naive that he hired two people to pretend to be Lu Fei and Lucian, and then insulted them with all their strength, shouting "You are fired", and even filmed it on video.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Dong Jianguo was quite dissatisfied: "His public birth certificate is fake. He cannot be a candidate at all, and he is not worthy of it. Even if he can be one, I am more qualified than him to be one!"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Yin Fanka was very helpless, "We might as well not go to Seattle or invite Lu here, just let the hotels, resorts, casinos, and your Chicago Tower..."
Dong Jianguo was excited, "Honey, get ready, get on daddy's private jet and leave immediately."
Yin Fanka sighed and looked back at the replay on the TV. She saw Lu Fei and Lucian holding each other's shoulders, chatting and laughing. Unknowingly, her eyes were intoxicated. She couldn't help but take out her mobile phone:
"We're on our way to Seattle."
After glancing at the text message, Lu Fei put the phone aside.
The pre-war mobilization meeting for the acquisition of Nortel Networks was in full swing, and the issues of how much to pay and how much to distribute were resolved throughout the meeting.
$4.5 billion.
The highest price everyone can accept.
Microsoft, Huawei, and Motorola account for 10%, spending up to 450 million U.S. dollars to help. Google and Logic, as the two parties of the Android Open Alliance, naturally play the main force.
Not only does it account for the majority, it accounts for 70%.
Trisolaris and Blackstone each bear 10%, and are also responsible for reselling Nortel Networks' patented technologies that have no use value. They are equivalent to second-rate dealers, taking 10% of the money earned, and adding 21% to 50%.
To all members of the consortium.
At the meeting, Schmidt announced good news.
Nortel Networks agreed to let Google act as a fake bidder, and district courts in Canada and the United States will soon approve that rivals, including Apple, cannot offer less than $1 billion.
"Although we have the upper hand, we cannot take it lightly. This will be a bloodbath for cash flow."
Lu Fei crossed his arms and looked around.
Schmidt flipped through the bidding list: "Except for the consortium led by Apple, Nokia, Intel, and Samsung are all participating in the bidding this time. As Lu said, it is indeed a fierce battle. No matter who these patents are against,
All have strategic value."
"Is it possible that Apple will bring one of Intel, Nokia, and Samsung into its own camp?"
Sanjay Jha asked as the current president of Motorola.
"Samsung is impossible, and Nokia is even more impossible. It will neither cooperate with us nor Apple. It's Intel. I think we can fight for it, but we should fight for it as much as possible."
Lu Fei finished explaining his reasoning, "Who agrees? Who opposes?"
"Agree!"
Schmidt agreed in the end, and the others had no objections.
It was Sanjay Jia who poked at the bidding list: "In addition to Intel, there is also a consortium headed by a company that specializes in patent trading..."
"There is absolutely no need for this consortium to worry. Before the auction even started, it was already frightened by the entire battle and has withdrawn."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth raised slightly.
"Hahaha~"
Amid laughter, the pre-war mobilization meeting ended.
"The scene will be left to Guo and you, Schmidt."
Lu Fei pulled Schmidt to a corner and lowered his voice.
"no problem."
Schmidt smiled and said: "But there is a problem, Lu, we should also pay attention to the fact that the latest operating systems launched by HTC, Samsung, and Shenzhou are all modified to varying degrees based on Android, whether it is the software application interface or the application
Stores, even cloud services, are all different, and I feel the need to stop them."
Lu Fei waved his hand: "They are doing this entirely to differentiate the Android system experience and enhance brand competitiveness. Isn't the logic the same? Can't Android phones from more than a dozen manufacturers all have the same system?"
Schmidt disagrees, and if things continue to develop like this——
There will be a lot of problems such as too many versions of the Android system, inconsistent interfaces, and inconsistent development standards.
The entire Android base camp will be divided.
"Division is inevitable. We cannot be afraid of differentiation and deprive Android of its autonomy. That will be counterproductive and force major manufacturers such as HTC and Samsung to start over and de-Android." Lu Fei said in a serious tone, "Android's current enemy is
Apple, and Nokia, must unite all forces that can be united, and let’s wait until Android becomes the world’s number one smart system.”
"Okay, beat Nokia and Apple first."
Schmidt thought it was very reasonable and could not refute it.
“We must not ‘eat alone’.”
Lu Fei reassured: "It would be impossible if there was only one type of app store for billions of users around the world."
"Lu is right!"
Suddenly, Sanjay Jia appeared from behind.
Schmidt and Lu Fei were startled and suddenly turned back.
Sanjay Jia shrugged and said that he was not eavesdropping on purpose, but that he really had something to ask Lu Fei. Before asking the question, he expressed his attitude and Motorola put its chips on the Android smartphone.
"Is Motorola going to be spun off and listed recently?"
Lu Fei showed an intriguing smile.
Sanjay Jia sighed, "The spin-off and listing was not the original intention of the board of directors. It was entirely Yin Kan's idea. Many directors were convinced that his spin-off of the mobile phone business could boost the stock price."
"Yinkan? That Carl Yinkan?!"
Schmidt was surprised, Carl Inkan was the Wolf King of Wall Street.
What he is best at is corporate raids and hostile takeovers.
Buying a lot of companies that are undervalued or whose fundamentals are still sound, the ones that are favored will either be squeezed out completely, or skinned and stripped, and the assets will be packaged and sold separately to squeeze out the last bit of residual value.
It eats people without spitting out the bones.
"you do not say."
Sanjay Jia kept smiling bitterly, "So now there is such a problem in front of Motorola, the ownership of the Motorola mobile phone brand. This is why I approached Lu."
After hearing this, Lu Fei questioned him carefully.
After a series of questions and answers, the answer was finally given: "The brand must stay in the mobile phone business. Although the company has more than 15,000 patents and more than 4 billion US dollars in cash reserves, without the brand, there will be no brand advantage. But this is also
Just for a while, if you can't come up with a viable and competitive product, you will still continue to lose money, and you may lose money in the end, and the only way is to be acquired."
"Lu, you've hit the point."
Sanjay Jia said: "Motorola Mobility cannot be saved by simply giving the brand to the mobile phone business. It must transform from a feature phone-based business to a smart phone-based one. But Motorola does not have any experience in smart phones. I know HTC, Shenzhou, and even
Samsung came to you for help, so I came to you for help."
Lu Fei decisively recommended Pengpai Technology.
HTC, Xiaomi, Shenzhou, Tianyu and other Android phones all turn to ThePaper Technology for solution integration.
"..."
Sanjay Jia was suddenly in trouble.
Motorola's first smartphone plans to hit the mid-to-high end like Apple, Logic, and Samsung. What grades of HTC, Shenzhou, etc. are also equipped to use the same Android system as me?
"Wrong, you are so wrong."
"How did I go wrong?"
"Why do you think smartphones can only be positioned in the mid-to-high-end market?" Lu Fei said seriously, "Nowadays, low-end Android phones are just in demand. Not to mention the United States, most of the current market in China is feature phones or even 'white-brand phones'.
Phone', do you think their first smartphone will be mid-range and high-end, or mid-range and low-end with high cost performance?
"Lu, you are right!"
Sanjay Jia's eyes suddenly lit up.
Low-end Android phones have low technical content and the market is still huge.
Motorola can not only earn money from the knife category, but also accumulate experience. It can slowly shift from hardware-based feature phones to smart phones integrating software and hardware.
"I think you should invite Lu to invest in Motorola, so that he can serve as a consultant and restrain Yin Kan." Schmidt said half-jokingly, "Even if it doesn't work out in the end, you can still find logical cooperation or even merge, which is better than being divided by Yin Kan."
The strong ones were sold out."
"Of course we welcome Lu to become a shareholder of Motorola. As for the acquisition of the mobile phone business, it is not impossible. It is not once or twice that Yin Kan incites shareholders. We are already tired of it. As long as the conditions and price are right, he will definitely sign the contract immediately.
"
Sanjay Jia had a look of disgust on his face.
Lu Fei joked: "This is what you said. Google and I might really consider acquiring Motorola Mobility."
"If it were someone else, I might refuse, but if it were you, I would personally welcome it with both hands!"
Sanjay Jha laughed.
Lu Fei thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to invest in Motorola. Because the financial situation was deteriorating, and there was no successor to the best-selling mobile phone "Blade", the global market share was logically overtaken by Samsung, falling to fifth place, and it hit the subprime mortgage crisis.
The stock price continued to fall, falling to 17.6 US dollars per share, less than 20 US dollars.
Clearly, profitable!
The key is, more than 15,000 patents are really tempting!
On the way back to the villa, Lu Fei asked Xu Xin to buy 10 million Motorola shares in the name of the Three Body Fund.
Equivalent to holding 10% of the shares.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Yin Fanka called immediately.
"Are you at the Lake House in Washington?"
"how do you know?"
"Because this is the only property you have in Seattle."
Yin Fanka said: "Prepare dinner and wait for us."
"You? Your father is coming too?"
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth curled up slightly.
"What do you think? Don't go to Bill Gates or Ballmer's house, just stay in the villa, okay?" Yin Fanka said softly, "Even if it's not for the sake of me flying here in person, why don't you just stay in the villa?"
It should be noted that I have helped you so much with "Twilight 2", "Iron Man 2", and the acquisition of Marvel. Aren't these enough..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I didn't say you're not welcome. Come on, I'll have the butler prepare it right away." Lu Fei shrugged.
Since you sincerely seek to see me, I will be very merciful.
The sun sets, the sky becomes dark, and the moon and stars are scarce.
The doorbell rang, Dong Jianguo pouted like an old naughty boy, and was reluctantly pulled into the house by Yin Fan.
When he saw Lu Fei coming towards him, he immediately put on a smile.
"Haha, welcome, welcome."
He kissed Yin Fanka face to face, and then stretched out his hand.
"Lu, it's even harder to meet you than Lucian."
Dong Jianguo shook hands and couldn't help but feel weird.
"Would you like to meet Lucian?"
Lu Fei felt the strength in his hand and curled his lips.
"Won't!"
Under Yin Fanka's look, Dong Jianguo let go of his hand, then followed him to the restaurant, looking up and down at the decoration of the villa.
New money, is New money!
I secretly disdain that two bad rich people are the nouveau riche!
"sit."
Lu Fei opened the chair for Yin Fankara.
Seeing this, Yin Fanka felt a little resentful towards Lu Fei in her heart. She looked at him and then at Dong Jianguo, trying to find an entry point to draw out the family's current crisis.
Lu Fei seemed to see through the minds of the two of them, "I probably know why you are looking for me. It's a debt issue, right?"
"You know! How do you know?"
Dong Jianguo and Yin Fanka looked at each other, feeling surprised.
"Don't you always think I don't care enough about you? So I paid a little attention." Lu Fei shook his wine glass, "The Resort Hotel Entertainment Group has gone bankrupt and reorganized for the sixth time, hasn't it?"
"It's the fifth time!"
Dong Jianguo raised his chin, looking very proud.
"You, you know everything?"
Yin Fanka felt embarrassed and turned away in shame.
"I know everything you need to know, and you have to let me know what you shouldn't know. For example, how do you want me to help you?"
Lu Fei took precautions in advance. It was impossible to give money, and it was impossible to lend money. All he had to say was——
All support except help.
"I know you have a very good relationship with Deutsche Bank now. Please talk to Deutsche Bank and postpone the repayment date of my loan."
Dong Jianguo first asked a small question to test.
"I'll listen and keep talking."
Lu Fei didn't answer any questions and kept smiling.
Dong Jianguo secretly cursed "chicken thief" and could only continue:
"In this bankruptcy reorganization, Deutsche Bank and other creditors actually refused to let me continue to manage the company. They only used a damn $1 billion in debt to get damn control and let Yin Kan take over my casinos, resorts, and hotels.
Part of the business.”
"Yinkan? Carl Yinkan?"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.
"He is an old friend of my dad's for many years. He is here to help my dad go bankrupt and reorganize. He is very good at this." Yin Fanka said.
"Yes, Yin Kan won't harm me, but Deutsche Bank is a bunch of vampires. They diluted my equity to 10%. They didn't even forgive me hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. They even wanted to sue me to court. They wanted me to go to court."
To hell with Chicago's towers and hotels."
Dong Jianguo drank the whiskey in one gulp.
Lu Fei listened quietly, his eyes falling on Yin Fanka.
"You also know that now is the economic crisis, and it has become very difficult to sell and rent Chicago buildings including hotels and apartments. It is very likely that they will lose money this year..."
Yin Fanka cooperated with Dong Jianguo, and the father and daughter sang together, with tears in their eyes, looking weak and pitiful.
"As for Deutsche Bank, contact Rosemary."
Lu Fei wrote the contact information on the paper, "Qimonda's debt relief is hers. She is an excellent female professional manager who is very good at solving financial hole problems."
"Lu, it can really be so simple..."
Dong Jianguo was very dissatisfied.
Before he finished speaking, Lu Fei interrupted and said: "It's that simple. For my sake, she will help you find ways to make up for your debt deficit. Also, now that the real estate is in a slump, I think even casinos can go bankrupt, so I don't want to."
Stay in real estate.”
You curse again!
Dong Jianguo gritted his teeth and puffed up his hair like a golden lion.
"Invest in stocks and gold."
Lu Fei squeezed Yin Fanka's hand and said, "You can invest in Trisolaris Fund projects in the name of your family."
"Are you willing to let our family join the Trisolaris Fund?!"
Yin Fanka was very excited when she heard this.
The most fringe group of people who can join the Three Body Fund are Larry Page, Jeff Bezos and other Silicon Valley new money.
Not to mention how many powerful families lurk.
"Three Body Fund will never handle more than 50 million U.S. dollars. Of course, you can use the money you earned from shorting subprime mortgages, as well as your future dividends and options in Han and Tang Dynasties as collateral."
There was a hint of confusion in Lu Fei's words.
Dong Jianguo is more sober than Yin Fanka, "You talk about investment, how will you help us operate the investment? What to invest in?"
"In addition to gold, there are two stocks."
Lu Fei said bluntly: "One is General Electric recommended by Buffett, and the other is Motorola."
"Motorola? Why are you kidding me anymore!"
"Your good friend Carl Yinkan also invested a lot."
"Yin Kan also invested? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Dong Jianguo immediately changed his face, from anger to joy.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Lu Fei looked at Yin Fanka, "Are you satisfied?"
"Dad, you can stay here with us tonight."
Yin Fanka's eyes flashed and she fed him steak with a smile.
"Ahem, okay."
Dong Jianguo's mouth showed a trace of a bad smile: "You can stay in the guest room with me. Don't disturb Lu's rest. Let him have a good sleep alone. No one understands better than me how much busy people need a rest.
"
"..."
Lu Fei and Yin Fanka looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
After three drinks, the cups and plates were in a mess, the housekeepers and nannies had already taken care of the guest room, Dong Jianguo took a bath and sat at the door.
Yin Fanka stared at Yin Fanka at the opposite door, guarding her tightly and not allowing him to go upstairs or open the door. He did not allow any opportunity to be taken advantage of.
Soon, I stayed up until midnight.
Dong Jianguo's eyelids trembled and he finally fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a faint sound beside my ears.
He was so excited that he hurried to the door of Yin Fanka's room. Not a trace of light leaked from the crack in the door.
However, there is still an ominous premonition in my heart.
"Yin Fanka! Yin Fanka!"
Not a few minutes later, Dong Jianguo's voice sounded outside the door.
"I really admire him."
Lu Fei smacked his lips, feeling like he was about to collapse.
"Just wait until he... leaves..."
Yin Fanka's face turned red and she stuck out her tongue.
"Didn't you say that he has agreed?"
Lu Fei rolled his eyes and did the opposite.
When Dong Jianguo saw that Yin Fanka had not opened the door for a long time and put his ear against the wooden door, his expression suddenly changed and his eyes widened.
Father is currently...
Holding her heart painfully, she slowly slid down against the door and sat on the ground, beating the floor angrily and breathing heavily.
