741 Fight against Lu Fei’s Eighteen Route Lords Alliance (4k)
Chapter 743 Fight against the Alliance of Eighteen Lords from Lu Fei (4k)
"A 'Babylu' charity dinner that was misunderstood by entrepreneurs, media and the public ended last night."
"According to a guest at the meeting, Lu Fei, Bill Gates and Buffett did not persuade others to donate. It was just an ordinary gathering to exchange charity experiences. Among them, Lu Fei's words were the most profound, 'We firmly believe that the shroud has no pretense.
Pockets of money.'"
"Participant Chen Guangbiao said that this banquet inspired him a lot, especially the 'Half Charitable Donation Pledge', which means he is willing to donate 50% of his property to charity, and called on the world's Forbes richest people to join."
"Mr. Lu is his idol and must be the first to respond. He said that when he leaves this world, he will not donate half of his wealth, but all of his wealth to charity."
"…………"
Watching TV, Liu Chuanzhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, snorted coldly, "This Chen Guangbiao is quite smart."
"Yeah, anyway, this is just a bad check. It has no legal effect at all. It's all up to you whether you can cash it or not. It doesn't matter how much you blow it." Yang Yuanqing curled his lips.
"What will happen to the media and public opinion now that we did not attend the charity dinner?" Liu Chuanzhi said with a stern face.
"Mr. Liu is still smart. He started claiming to be ill and was hospitalized some time ago. He softened the attacks and criticisms on you and Lian Xiang on the Internet. The blame was shifted to Ali Baba. He was already kidnapping him morally and forcing Lu Yun to donate money." Yang Yuanqing revealed.
A gloating smile.
"Humph, as soon as Lu Fei, that bastard, stuck his butt out, I knew he was not farting. He can do charity? It's better to believe that he can go to the moon!" Liu Chuanzhi asked, "How about Lu Yun?"
"He said that it is very necessary to talk about charity now, but it is too early to talk about charity." Yang Yuanqing said Ahri's response strategy.
In fact, it just muddies the water.
As long as everyone doesn't donate, you won't look stingy.
"Lu Yun is coping pretty well."
Liu Chuanzhi picked a banana from the fruit plate.
"Mr. Liu, Lu Fei's move is quite damaging."
Yang Yuanqing said angrily: "Knowing that you would not be able to attend his charity dinner, you deliberately sent us invitations. Part of the list was accidentally leaked on the Internet. You, Lu Yun, and many Taishan Club members happened to be among them.
It’s not okay to go. If you don’t go, you will be labeled as ‘being rich and unkind’. It’s really tmd!”
“Have Bill Gates and Buffett gone back?”
Liu Chuanzhi peeled a banana and gave it to him.
Yang Yuanqing shook his head: "No, they just held a media meeting this morning. In the next six months, they will meet with wealthy people from China and Tianzhu to discuss charity."
"Lu Fei is going too?" Liu Chuanzhi raised his eyebrows.
"Just Bill Gates and Buffett."
Yang Yuanqing sneered: "What he talks about is charity, but his heart is all about business. If I guessed correctly, he should be leaving for the United States at this time to prepare for the rehearsal of the new phone launch conference."
"That's good, that's good."
Liu Chuanzhi's eyes lit up, "Yuan Qing, in my name, send an invitation to Bill Gates and Buffett, make the momentum bigger, and regain the impression that Lian Xiang lost before."
"Mr. Liu, what do you think about organizing a charity dinner like Lu Fei? In the name of Taishan Club, bring over Lu Yun, Shi Yuzhu, Guo Guangchang, etc." Yang Yuanqing suggested.
"Yuan Qing, this is a good idea!"
Liu Chuanzhi slapped his thigh and was very satisfied.
If it weren't for Lu Fei, this charity dinner would have been organized by himself, the leader of Chinese business.
Damn it, Lu Fei!
The two chatted about the charity dinner, reviewed the entire process and details of Lu Fei's charity, and discovered that there was a purpose behind it.
"If you hadn't alerted Samsung and Logic to the patent lawsuit, I would have almost been deceived by this little bastard."
Liu Chuanzhi had to sigh.
Relying on this charity promotion of "Babylu", Lu Fei, both as an individual and as a company, has earned enough attention and favorability in the country, which is equivalent to donating hundreds of millions.
Think about Qilixiang and Wanglaoji. Their hundreds of millions of donations during May 12th were directly promoted as national brands.
But at this time, it was logical to sue Samsung.
Moreover, at the charity dinner, Lu Fei also announced the establishment of a rural teacher support fund, and would donate part of the compensation from Logic's lawsuit against Samsung to the fund. Where did all these coincidences come from!
It's like a heifer wearing a bra, one bra after another.
"But Mr. Liu, he is too self-righteous. He originally competed with Apple and Nokia, and now he wants to provoke Samsung. Who does he think he is? Lu Bu!"
Yang Yuanqing sneered: "Do you think you can fight Sanying?"
"That's wrong, Yuan Qing, you still missed us."
Liu Chuanzhi asked: "When will Lianxiang's first Megoo mobile operating system phone be launched at the latest?"
"The second half of next year."
Yang Yuanqing hesitated, "Mr. Liu, Apple is a little dissatisfied when they know that we are cooperating with Nokia and Intel again."
"What did Cook say?" Liu Chuanzhi was excited.
"Yes, Cook is in charge now. During the previous Apple press conference, although Steve Jobs was the host, his condition was really bad. Mr. Liu, you wonder if he is about to die..."
Yang Yuanqing lowered his voice.
"Yes, I was pretending to be sick, but he was really sick."
Liu Chuanzhi nodded, but he was not worried about Jobs' condition, but that he was one of the few people who could deal with Lu Fei. Jobs, what would I do without you?
Steve Jobs, you must not die!
America, it is already late at night.
Bill Gates, Buffett and Lu Fei's "half of the charity donation commitment" and the news of the charity dinner have been spread through the media for a long time, and rich people across the United States have responded.
One by one, they verbally supported "Babylu".
"What kind of charity! Isn't it just tax avoidance?"
Jobs paced back and forth in the ward, cursing: "Disgusting! How disgusting! Bill Gates is a bastard who takes advantage of others' danger! Huaxia Lu is a hypocritical and despicable villain!"
"Ahem, Steve, please take care of yourself."
Cook cleared his throat. It was basically an unspoken rule for rich people to avoid taxes through charity. Not only Mr. Lu, but the two of them also did it.
In this regard, scolding Lu Fei is tantamount to scolding yourself.
"I know my body very well."
Jobs's eyes darkened and he sighed, "Tim, you have to be prepared, maybe I may have to retire next year."
"Steve!"
Cook is excited and sad at the same time. He is sad that his old partner who has worked with him for so many years has retired in this situation. He is excited that he, the CEO, can finally take full control of Apple.
"This is the design drawing of iPhone 5. When the time comes, it will be announced by you at next year's press conference."
Jobs handed over the design drawings, which were filled with comments.
"Steve..."
Cook knows very well that iPhone 5 is definitely Apple’s most powerful and perfect mobile phone, surpassing Apple’s previous models in all aspects.
As the first-generation Apple product after Steve Jobs retired, it will definitely allow you to firmly take the lead at Apple.
"The outer casing must be made using an aluminum alloy cutting process, which can make the body thinner and lighter. As for the problem of metal affecting the signal, this solution is used. The upper and lower glass covers are retained on the back panel..."
Jobs spoke his mind without reservation.
"That's great! The biggest problem why we can't sell logic is the signal."
Cook was excited.
"It could have been more perfect, but unfortunately our fingerprint recognition technology is not up to my heart's requirements."
Jobs couldn't help but feel regretful.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The current field of fingerprint recognition is still in its infancy. In addition to pressure sensors, the only solutions available are optical cameras. We are not good at these two things."
Cook was helpless.
Originally, Apple wanted to get ahead of logic and win the title of the world's first fingerprint scanner, but Motorola took the lead.
Fortunately, fingerprint recognition uses a pressure sensor, which is not very sensitive and consumes too much power, causing various problems.
It could also be that Apple has eliminated an incorrect option.
"Hmph! What kind of real fingerprint unlocking phone is that from Motorola!" Jobs said with disdain in his tone, "Just wait, when the iPhone 5S comes, they will see what real fingerprint recognition is."
"But I'm afraid that logic is one step ahead of us."
Cook's face was full of concern.
"Tim, aren't you afraid of China?"
Jobs stared at him displeased.
How many years has it been since Logic was established? Only four periods.
Apple was much earlier than him! We are in the same issue!
"well."
Cook opened his mouth and said, "Steve, you may not know that Lu Fei has invested in many optical and lens companies over the years, including Leica, Sony, and Hasselblad, and has also funded scientific research schools and optical research institutes in China. Maybe
There is a research and development project on optical fingerprint recognition.”
"Tim, don't worry, the future direction of fingerprint recognition is neither pressure nor optics, it can only be capacitive, which we focus on investing in!" Jobs was full of confidence.
Cook said bitterly: "Steve, have you forgotten that one of the technologies that Logic is best at is capacitive."
"It's up to you from now on, Tim."
Jobs patted him on the shoulder, "Do you know what I'm most worried about! I'm worried that once I retire, if you take control of Apple, you may not be able to deal with China Land."
"I also took this into consideration and thought of a way."
Cook bluntly said to use all available forces to form an anti-Lu Fei Eighteenth Route princes alliance.
"What are you going to do?"
Jobs cast a questioning look.
"First, we need to settle the patent dispute with Nokia, and then cooperate with Nokia, TSMC, Qualcomm, Intel, and especially Samsung." Cook said with a smile, "Logic filed a lawsuit against Samsung, which can be said to have done us a big favor.
.”
When Jobs heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved.
Before the court accepted Logic's legal battle against Samsung, Samsung was well prepared to reduce Logic's OEM and purchase orders, which was enough for Apple to make up for the shortfall.
It's easy to win over Samsung.
"Where's TSMC?"
"Where's Intel?"
"..."
“What did Qualcomm say?”
Steve Jobs was lying on the hospital bed, feeling depressed.
"Paul has promised that when the contract expires, the next chip contract will give a more favorable price than Logic."
Cook poured him a glass of water.
"Qualcomm finally knows who to target!"
Jobs held the water glass in his hand.
“The current relationship between Qualcomm and Logic is very delicate.”
Cook adjusted his glasses, "Qualcomm needs to rely on Logic and the Android Open Alliance to open up the global market, but it is also wary of Logic's self-research, especially since Logic stole AMD's mobile GPU group from Qualcomm."
"What! When did it happen?"
Jobs was startled.
"It was only after Qualcomm revealed it that I found out that Logic was actually developing GPUs," Cook reassured. "But don't worry, I have already hired headhunters to poach people from ARM, Imagination, AMD, and Intel to form our GPU team."
"Hmph, no wonder Qualcomm agreed so simply."
Jobs gritted his teeth and said, "Logic now controls the CPU and baseband chips. If we let it develop its own GPUs and SOC chips, Qualcomm will be creating a formidable opponent for itself."
"yes."
Cook's heart pounded when he thought of Logic's current size.
Taking advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, it has expanded wildly around the world. Its storage has reached the third place in the world, and is about to overtake the second place SK Hynix. Its wafer foundry has also reached the top five in the world.
EDA, large silicon wafers, semiconductor equipment...
Even for special glass, current smartphones basically use the first generation of Corning Gorilla Glass, but Logic has also invested in consumer electronics and special glass materials companies in China.
Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road.
Mr. Lu is crazy! He wants to build a new Kangning!
"Tim, I sometimes wonder, China clearly supports globalization, and "The World is Flat" also advocates the division of labor in the global supply chain, but why does the logic continue to be 'anti-globalization'?"
Jobs frowned, feeling strange.
"Maybe it's to support China's industrial chain."
Cook didn't care.
"Perhaps we can use this reason to persuade the Lucian government to suppress logic just like Ericsson suppressed Huawei, at least suppressing its business in North America."
Jobs narrowed his eyes into a straight line.
"Lucian won't agree, right?" Cook hesitated.
"Logic is supporting China's high-tech industrial chain and challenging America's technology monopoly and global supply chain dominance. How long does Lucian intend to endure?"
Jobs said: "Logic is not Samsung."
"Yeah, what's even more frightening is that this company is not listed on the market." Cook couldn't help but lamented. If it didn't go public, it would be slightly better than Apple in raising funds. If it went public, it wouldn't take off.
"It's because it's not listed that I can convince Lucian even more." Jobs narrowed his eyes.
"I understand your intention. Indeed, it is better to go to Samsung, TSMC, or Qualcomm than go directly to the federal government to support Apple and suppress logic." Cook pondered for a long time, "But in fact, there is a simpler way, Shi
Tiff, do you remember the 'back door' that Fopole was talking about?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Jobs sat up suddenly.
"But……"
"Tim, don't forget, Forebo asked us to keep a backdoor in the encryption technology, so why didn't he ask Logic and Samsung? Do you think China Land will agree?"
"I'm afraid he's just like you."
"That's right! Although we don't agree, Apple belongs to the United States, and logic is loyal to China!"
