Rebirth of the Evil Life

"Director Mueller, my client is sleepy and he must rest..+? (.+nbsp;\\s*According to federal law, my client is entitled to 48 hours of rest." Ron said righteously.

Director Mueller was immediately stunned at this moment. He knew that Lin Feng was stalling for time, but the problem was that he had no way to stop it. No matter how to stop it, Ron has come up with federal laws. If he wants to stop it, it will be against federal law. Then Ron's legal team will sue him and make him unable to take care of himself.

"Okay, let Lin Feng rest for two days!" Director Mueller said and left bitterly.

"Ron, thanks!" Lin Feng smiled.

"Lin, we are friends. But I can only help you delay for 2 days at most. After 2 days, I can't help you. And this time the Ministry of Commerce accused you of illegal competition. According to my source, they have evidence. "Your absolute monopoly in the graphics card market has given the Ministry of Commerce an excuse. I can only say that you should be careful about the hearing in two days." Ron reminded. Although he is a lawyer, lawyers are not omnipotent.

"Don't worry, I'm already prepared for this. If everything goes according to procedures, I have nothing to fear. But if the Ministry of Commerce is unreasonable, I have nothing to do." Lin Feng said.

Ron was also helpless. If the US Department of Commerce is really unreasonable, there is nothing they can do. The laws are made by others, what else can your lawyer do? However, Ron will try his best. After all, the Ministry of Commerce does not dare to be too reckless. If it arouses public anger, the Ministry of Commerce will not be able to bear it. But overall, Lin Feng is at a disadvantage this time.

At this moment, U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson roared.

"Director Mueller, why did you let Lin Feng rest for two days? How could you agree to this condition? It will take two more days, then it will be 4 days, and there are only 3 days left. 3 days is too tight." John Bryson drank.

It was a bit difficult to convict Lin Feng in 3 days. It's really difficult.

"Minister Bryson, there is no way. Lin Feng's legal team used the excuse that Lin Feng needs to rest. According to federal law, I must release him. However, according to federal law, financial cases involving businessmen like Lin Feng, due to their involvement, It’s very serious, it’s related to the property safety of American citizens, and it can be decided quickly!” Director Mueller said.

Minister John Bryson nodded, that was all he could do for now. Try to characterize Lin Feng within one day, and then order Lin Feng to develop the driver for the "Microsoft" operating system within one day. Lin Feng was perfectly solved within seven days. But this is just his wish. What is the real situation. He doesn't know. Whether it can achieve this set goal is hard to say.

"Mueller, what's going on now?" Bush asked at the White House.

"Lin Feng took two days off for an excuse. According to Bill Gates, the Secretary of Commerce only has seven days to deal with Lin Feng. After seven days, it will be too late." Director Mueller said.

Seven days? President Bush frowned. This time is really tight. Once Lin Feng tries some other tricks. Then it will be too late.

"Tell the Department of Commerce that if Lin Feng cannot be resolved within seven days, let him compete freely. Don't cause burnout." Bush ordered.

Lin Feng is not a good person. This guy will exact revenge on you. If you can't save him within seven days, then when he frees up his hands, he will give you a "surprise". Bush didn't want to be tricked by Lin Feng again. As for the dispute between Microsoft and Lin Feng, as the president of the United States, I have a deep responsibility. But as a US president who has a cooperative relationship with Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng is powerful and Bush does not like it, if Lin Feng really collapses completely, Bush will not like it either. At least until Bush solves the mystery of the "air and water mill", he will not completely break with Lin Feng.

Director Mueller nodded. Although the United States is very powerful, it cannot completely cover the sky with one hand. Lin Feng cannot be solved within seven days, allowing Lin Feng’s ‘Pangu System’ to gain a firm foothold. At that time, if we forcefully help Microsoft and use administrative orders to intervene in the competition between operating systems, not only foreign investors will be in an uproar, but even the domestic people may not support it. At that time, he, the president, will be tortured again. On the one hand, there are public doubts. On the one hand are the interests between political parties. Bush didn't want that.

John Bryson received the order from President Bush and became increasingly anxious. However, no matter how anxious he is now, he can only wait until Lin Feng returns from rest in 2 days. If Lin Feng really can't be solved by then. He could only go according to normal procedures. Of course, before that, he will also put pressure on Microsoft to provide more evidence to prove Lin Feng's unfair competition.

"Bill, Lin Feng has successfully delayed it for two more days. After two days, we will only have three days left." Steve Ballmer said.

Bill Gates looked gloomy. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so cunning and use so many tricks to delay time. This time, he was at a loss. He was really unsure whether Lin Feng could be cured of his crime in two days. If Lin Feng cannot be ruled to be unfair competition within three days, then Microsoft will lose again this time. This time 'Microsoft' accused the 'Second World' of unfair competition, and the whole world is very clear about it. Although on the surface it was Lin Feng who was competing illegally, in fact everyone understood that this was because Microsoft could not afford to lose and was using dirty tricks.

Of course, using underhanded tactics is also the skill of 'Microsoft'. Although outsiders may say some nonsense, it doesn't matter, as long as they can win. But if 'Microsoft' loses, then the rumors outside will not be innocuous. They will hit like cannonballs and cause a major blow to 'Microsoft'. This will directly promote Lin Feng’s ‘Pangu System’ to continue to rise to power.

Of course, Bill Gates firmly believes that Lin Feng's Pangu System will only occupy part of the market at most, but it is impossible to completely surpass Microsoft's system and surpass Microsoft in a short period of time. . This territory has been managed by Microsoft for more than 30 years. It cannot be surpassed by Lin Feng. But for Bill Gates, letting a novice like Lin Feng occupy a small share of the operating system market is a failure.

what to do?

"Bill, now we can only continue to increase our leverage and win over allies." Steve Ballmer said, "Intel is our best ally, and now we need them to stand up and testify against Lin Feng with us. ”

‘Intel’ was once the best partner of ‘Microsoft’, and the ‘n-tel’ alliance created by both parties has allowed the two companies to dominate their respective fields to this day. However, over the years, with some differences between the two parties and the absence of external enemies, this ‘n-tel’ alliance automatically collapsed. Faced with Lin Feng's strength, both sides had the intention to start again. It’s just that both sides are just making intentions at the moment and have not yet reached an actual agreement, because whoever proposes an alliance first will suffer. After the alliance is formed, some relevant agreements will be made, and we will suffer a little loss. The last time an alliance was formed, Intel suffered a lot. In terms of the distribution of some key benefits, Microsoft accounted for the majority.

Generally speaking, when a brand computer is produced (such as Lenovo, Dell, etc.), its main core is the processor and operating system. Due to the start of the 'n-tel' alliance, all brand computers sold before were almost all 'Intel' processors, plus 'Microsoft' systems, and among them, 'Intel' and 'Microsoft' accounted for the absolute profit distribution. right. A Lenovo executive once said that they could make a handful of money by assembling a computer. There is no way, the profits have been taken away by ‘Intel’ and ‘Microsoft’.

Before this, due to the strength of 'Microsoft', the profit sharing rate of 'Microsoft' was low, but the net profit was higher than that of 'Intel'. This is because 'Microsoft''s system is software, and 'Intel' 'Everything costs money to produce. This led to the collapse of the ‘n-tel’ alliance over the years. Of course, although the two sides seem to be inseparable, they are not in opposition.

If 'Microsoft' goes to 'Intel' this time, then 'Intel' will inevitably put forward higher requirements in terms of terminal benefit distribution. For example, if a computer uses an Intel chip and a Microsoft system, Microsoft will give Intel some subsidies. This is a very common benefit distribution scheme. However, this ‘Microsoft’ is at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Bill Gates is unwilling to take the initiative to find "Intel", otherwise he will suffer a loss.

"Bill, the situation is stronger than the people! Intel is our ally, but Lin Feng is not, he is our competitor!" Steve Ballmer hated this point. Although we will definitely lose some profits by cooperating with ‘Intel’ again this time, as long as we can defeat Lin Feng, everything will be worth it.

Bill Gates thought for a moment and nodded. Steve Ballmer is right. Cooperating with Intel is just a small loss of profits, which can be made up for by expanding the market share of the two companies. But if Lin Feng seizes the market, the losses will be huge.

"Hi, Paul, I'm Steve, how about we have a cup of coffee when you have time!" Steve Ballmer immediately called Intel President Paul Otellini who was far away in Silicon Valley.

"Haha, Steve, when I woke up this morning, I heard the magpie chirping, and I knew something good was going to happen. Tell me, what happened? As for drinking coffee, we are too far away. It takes a long time to go back and forth. It's not easy." Paul Otellini laughed.

Apparently, Paul Otellini had foreseen that ‘Microsoft’ would call.

Steve Ballmer was helpless. At this point, he had nothing to say.

"Paul, I think we can have a good talk about Lin Feng!" Steve Ballmer said.

"Yes, we can indeed have a good talk!" Paul Otellini smiled even more, but his expression became serious.

Lin Feng, this is not only a problem for Microsoft, but also a problem for Intel. Now the two companies will join forces to solve Lin Feng!
