Baodi section of Beijing-Shenyang Expressway, heading towards Beijing.
Facing the setting sun, the Jinbei car speeds.
The driver was Zhao Song, a reborn man. In addition to scattered memories, Goldfinger also had ten 3t hard drives.
The co-pilot is a quiet, academic girl, fair and beautiful, with long legs and double master's degrees.
The driver was putting his hands on the co-pilot's long white legs and squeezing them.
The person in the co-pilot didn't notice this, but was full of doubts.
What is the purpose of waiting for her to return to her hometown before leaving?
"You see, if I go to college honestly and then go home after graduation, I can live a monotonous but very prosperous life because I am a kid from the oil field; if I go to college honestly and want to escape this siege, I will stay in Kyoto after graduation. Living a hard-working life from three to five.
In both cases, I couldn't run into you. But, I did run into you!"
"so?"
"So I'm going to treat you as a fallback. If I'm down and out and have no money in the future, you have to take me in!"
That day was 8 years ago.
8 years later, the man is not in despair, and the woman is no longer white, rich and beautiful, but has gained the label of a strong woman. The only thing that has not changed is that she is still his backup!
New York, private cafe.
"It's really a joke number... pi!"
Crazy Qiao and Owen gave Wen Jing a thumbs up in affirmation.
"It's not time to be happy yet," Wen Jing shook her head solemnly, "There are only three companies left, Rock, Mounted Police, and RPX. The next step is a real battle!"
This auction took 48 hours, and the minimum price increase has become 100 million US dollars. Even countless powerful people in the business world may never encounter such a scene in their lives...
At this time, Wen Jing has truly sided with the Rock Alliance. Her personal fund account has already been heavily invested in Apple. Once the Rock Alliance gets a package of patents that can be used to fight against Android, it will be the moment when she gets rich rewards, at least on the surface. Such...
"Wen, what do you think?" Owen asked.
Wen Jing: "The biggest advantage of rpx is its vast membership, so Zhao Song is acting like a rogue. He can rely on rpx to unite horizontally and vertically, but he is furious at the alliance between Google and Intel..."
Crazy Qiao nodded with deep sympathy: "You can see the shadows of giants such as Cisco behind rpx, but this company only implements exclusivity for Apple and Qualcomm!"
In previous lives, this auction was divided and mixed. Although Apple won, it only paid less than half of the money because its opponents all obtained their own needs from it.
This life is different, Zhao Song is excluding Apple and Qualcomm!
“Only follow up!“
After speaking, Owen used his mobile phone to give instructions to the front, and frowned deeply after finishing.
Seeing his look, Wen Jing smiled and consoled her: "We also have good news. Compared to us who only have to face questioning from the board of directors, Zhao Song also has to face the pressure from rpx member units."
"That's right." Owen suddenly cheered up, "The price is too high. It has exceeded twice the expert's estimate. We are under pressure, and Nicholas is even greater!"
Once the price exceeds the affordability of rpx members, the final result will be that Tesla alone will fund it. Such a large amount of money will greatly reduce Zhao Song's credibility in Tesla's board of directors.
How much would that be?
This is also the reason why the three of them are gathered here.
"Four billion is Google's low price!" Wen Jing said firmly.
Irving took out the memo, took a look at it, and said the same: "Friends of EMC told me that they paid 400 million US dollars to settle with Tesla, but they will get some exclusive patents."
Crazy Qiao also knew this hidden news and nodded thoughtfully: "According to Nortel's explanation of the patent, the exclusive patent sought by Yi Anxin occupies..."
"4.5 billion US dollars is the final bottom line of rpx. If there is any excess, it will all be paid by Nicholas alone!"
Wen Jing quickly asked: "Where are we?"
"..." Crazy Qiao, Owen looked at each other and said with a bitter smile, "4.3 billion."
Wen Jing was silent for a moment and took out a signed authorization letter.
"80 million, this is the maximum support I can provide, but it requires a mortgage."
Crazy Qiao and Owen looked at each other again and nodded slowly to Wen Jing.
"Wen, we promise you, you will get more reports than you imagined!"
After solemnly sitting down and making his promise, Crazy Qiao finally asked: "
Wen, do you have any other suggestions for Nicholas’s final offer?”
Wen Jing thought for a long time and then said slowly: "He seems crazy, but his temperament is extremely conservative. When he started, he was given the title of 'Old Bastard', so 4.5 billion will not be the highest price for RPX. He will definitely contribute part of it personally."
funds!"
"How many?"
“46.11!“
What kind of person would spend $111 million to be conservative?
Crazy Qiao and Owen have a new understanding of the title "Old Bastard".
For some reason, Crazy Qiao covered his left upper abdomen with his hand and asked softly: "Is there any explanation for 6.11?"
"His birthday." Wen Jing replied quickly, "All the quotes he made after starting his business contain meaningful numbers."
"Investigation shows that his birthday is 630."
"Uncle... no, she is a single descendant of the third generation. Her father happily drank too much on the day he registered the household registration book and filled in the date of that day."
Crazy Qiao nodded, pressed harder on his left upper abdomen with his right hand, and said, "Thank you, Wen, buddy?"
Owen Jacob gritted his teeth and said: "The one who broke the rules is actually Nicholas. We can no longer let him rely on his relationship with Washington to play the victim and the destroyer at the same time. We must do something."
Crazy Qiao, who was holding his abdomen, smiled and said with a strange expression: "I think the final quotation will be the best option."
"That's right!"

"Women are born liars. If you believe a word of her... Oh my god!"
August 6th.
In the New York mansion, Zhao Song escaped Bai Li's attack and pulled Ding Tao to move his position.
"Five minutes ago, in the twenty-ninth round of bidding, Google quoted 4.013 billion. This was their first serious bid. The Rock League followed up, and then Google announced its withdrawal from the auction."
Ding Tao ignored Zhao Song's initial words and reported.
Zhao Song was noncommittal, sitting on the recliner An Ran, and asked leisurely: "Is there any other news that I need to know?"
Ding Tao: "In view of the fact that there are only two customers left in the auction, and the quotations have far exceeded the actual value of these 6,000 patents, the Rock Alliance proposed to the auction committee to convert the auction method to a secret auction!"
"The actual value of 6,000 patents..." Zhao Song murmured, "Ding Tao, what do you think its actual value is?"
"900 million U.S. dollars!" Ding Tao answered without hesitation. In his opinion, the price of more than 4 billion U.S. dollars would completely allow him to give up on this auction and wait until the patent expires before planning.
"But in my opinion, they decide which company will become a trillion-dollar giant in the future!"
“Trillions?!???”
Ding Tao looked at Zhao Song dumbfounded. The market value of one trillion yuan was completely unimaginable to him!
What's even more unimaginable is that 3 minutes after the auction committee just changed the auction rules, Zhao Song came up with a bid that met the standards...
"Yes, one trillion!" Zhao Song handed the bid document to Ding Tao and asked with a smile: "Did that blushing guy who stabbed someone with a screwdriver behind my back ever think that he would become the chief executive of a trillion-dollar giant?
Operations officer?”
"..."
Ding Tao endured the shock and took the bid document, but was shocked again by the numbers above.
"Have you seen "The Truman Show"? I am the director now. Everything that happened in this auction, every conversation between someone and those two lunatics, was all designed by me, for the purpose of influencing
The mindset of those two lunatics prevents the biggest lunatic from making a desperate move to grab these patents from me!"
"Why?" Ding Tao couldn't help but ask, "Are they so valuable?"
"Their actual value is that a cross-generational product that should have been launched... was stillborn!"
iphone…
If it still has the guts to go on the market, Zhao Song, who has obtained the patent, has the ability to double its price!
"We won, Ding Tao!"
Zhao Song stood up with a smile on his face and explained easily:
"After delivering the bid documents, please prepare my Concorde. If things go well, maybe I can catch up with the opening ceremony..."
Ding Tao nodded confusedly.
"By the way, I have something else to ask you."
"Boss, you ask..."
Zhao Song organized his language and asked with uncertainty:
"If a person is terminally ill, the product he has worked so hard to create cannot be put on the market, and he has just suffered a major failure, but his close partner is still a teenager..."
Ding Tao: "..."
Zhao Song: "In the end, he may face dismissal from the board of directors. Do you think... will this person be too hard to think about?"
Ding Tao hesitated repeatedly before speaking uncertainly: "If I'm so tormented by you, I might really not be able to think about it."
"Then you must leave quickly!"
Zhao Song said decisively, "I will never attend the funeral of any white man in my life!"
…………
New York time, August 6, 2008, 16:30.
The Nortel Auction Committee announced that the rpx patent alliance had obtained all 6,000 patents with a bid of US$4.8 billion.
4 hours later, the cafe was reserved.
3 people became one person.
The complicated information on the table was also replaced by a piece of paper.
It was a tender document. Among the dense text, the only eye-catching thing was a string of handwritten numbers.
4.701 billion.
Combined with the numbers Wen Jing once said...
611,630,7.01.
The logic behind this is that no one wants to listen to a loser’s explanation.
Crazy Qiao clutched his left upper abdomen, his face filled with despair.
Just now, a position that people had not heard of for many years - the chairman of Apple - appeared. In addition to swearing at him, he also announced an appointment and dismissal notice.
At this time, Crazy Qiao turned his attention from the bid document to the medicine bottle next to him. He grabbed the medicine bottle with his right hand covering his abdomen and drank it...
