Reborn Millennium Player

Ballmer is extremely efficient. He does what he says he wants to do. He immediately recommended Newark (fingerworks), which cooperates with touch screens, to Lu Fei. The company is located in the holy land of Silicon Valley. It just so happened that the Apple conference was also held in Silicon Valley.

He grabbed Zhang Tianmei, who was also the secretary to the board of directors, and flew from Seattle to San Francisco.

In order to make Lu Fei's unlimited money, Robert sent the elite of the team, Saul Goodman, to follow.

When he heard this name for the first time, Lu Fei almost acted out. He couldn't be the Better Call Saul from "Breaking Bad", right?

But even though the names are the same, from the way they dress to the way they talk and behave, they are completely in two different dimensions.

"Sir, Newark specializes in touch panels and multi-touch keyboards and has 21 multi-touch patents."

He sat in the passenger seat and reported directly without script.

"There is only one financing, which is an investment of US$3 million from the current CEO, Jeff White. The two founders, Wayne Westerman and John Elias, hold 84.5% of the shares..."

Lu Fei crossed his legs and listened to Zhang Tianmei's interpretation while flipping through the information. He read too many documents in English, and his English reading level soared. He could roughly understand the entire content and data——

Equity structure...quarterly turnover...total assets...

Goodman raised his eyebrows, "How do you want to cooperate? Patent transfer, licensing, or leasing?"

Lu Fei shook his head, "I want them all, including the patent!"

Zhang Tianmei said in surprise: "Mr. Lu, do we really want to acquire it?"

"certainly!"

Lu Fei said firmly, there must be no room for error in multi-touch.

Smartphones have 12 key technologies, 5 of which are hardware, microprocessors, memory chips, solid-state hard drives, LCD screens, and lithium-based batteries.

The remaining 7 items are network and software, fast Fourier transform algorithm, Internet, http and html, cellular network, GPS, siri and touch screen.

With Logic's current size, the only thing it can chew on is software, and the most likely thing it can chew on is touch technology.

A smartphone wouldn't be a smartphone without a touch screen, and Apple's technology started with the acquisition of Newark.

After harvesting Apple's designs, harvesting Apple's patents and talents, no one was aware of it. Even Steve Jobs could not imagine that he was being harvested.

"My suggestion is not to start directly from the acquisition. That will appear abrupt and lose some initiative in the negotiation."

Goodman adjusted his glasses, a shrewd light flashing in his eyes.

Lu Fei nodded, "On my behalf, talk to them about the licensing of resistive touch screen technology, and take a look."

The implication is to extract psychological prices and conditions.

"I think so too!"

Goodman smiled and said, "After confirming that it is correct, I will ask them to interview you in person."

"Thank you, if the acquisition is successful, lawyers like you will be the ones Logic wants to cooperate with."

Lu Fei drew a big cake for him, told the driver to drive to Newark Company, let him get out of the car alone, then turned around and drove straight to the Moscone Exhibition Center.

Apple's new phone launch conference is almost the annual Spring Festival Gala in the American technology circle. Countless IT elites and media people are proud to get invitations, and they are very powerful.

As the start approached, crowds of people filed in.

Andy brought a bottle of whiskey and sat in the 5th row of the public gallery with the employees of the software research and development department.

The director was shocked and angry: "Why are you bringing wine? If Jobs finds out, we will be doomed!"

"Sauri, I'm so nervous, I need a drink."

As soon as Andy finished speaking, he was instantly unanimously agreed by his colleagues. He worked day and night to launch iTunes 4.1 for more than half a year. When it was finally time to make it public, he felt uneasy.

Especially with the powerful enemy of Spotify on the side, watching with eager eyes!

Suddenly, the bright lights went out.

The headlights shone on the stage, and amid the crowd's endless calls, Jobs appeared in a classic image wearing a black top and jeans.

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

The fruit fans in the audience and the media applauded in unison.

Lu Fei took a few photos casually, focusing entirely on the layout and arrangement of the press conference. Sooner or later, the logic would have to be sorted out.

Naturally, we cannot be reduced to being in the company of Luo Taijun and Thunder Monkey King!

"Thank you for coming, and thank you for still supporting Apple and iPod. In the past period of time, we did encounter a little trouble. An imitator and an infringer used Apple's designs to deal with Apple."

Jobs bent over and changed his image as a dictator within the company, becoming friendly, amiable and soft-spoken.

"But we are never afraid, because we are Apple!"

"Yeah!"

"Ho—ho, get that thief out of America!"

"Beat it, Steve Jobs."

In an instant, the fruit fans shouted in unison, overthrowing logic.

Zhang Tianmei was angry and angry: "Mr. Lu, this is slander."

"It's just a thief shouting to catch a thief."

Lu Fei stayed in the crowd and laughed coldly, Apple had the nerve to accuse others of plagiarism? Only N plagiarized the most!

The audience eagerly awaits the announcement of iPod 3, and most people hope that the new model can overtake lsic1. In addition to being instigated by the media's fake news that distorts logic and plagiarizes Apple, it is also Apple's belief and cannot be blasphemed.

Logicism, this heresy, must die!

But amid much anticipation, when iPod 3 appeared, there was no unexpected applause or cheers.

For a moment, there was total silence.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that ipod3 is outclassed by lsic1 in all aspects, including quality, price, and even service experience, except for its memory.

Even in the design of the touch dial, logic comes first.

"That's it?"

Lu Fei was the first to clap his hands under the cover of darkness, and the sound of clapping was clear and loud in the silence.

Zhang Tianmei was startled, "Mr. Lu, will you get beaten if you do this?"

"How is it possible? I'm trying to salute Steve Jobs!"

Lu Fei smiled evilly and encouraged her to applaud:

"bravo, jobs, bravo!"

The surrounding audience was stunned for a while, and then followed up with applause, which was quite reluctant. The more and more applause was particularly harsh, which made all Apple employees lose their face.

Andy swallowed his saliva and quickly took a sip of wine to calm down his shock.

The director angrily yelled: "Fuxk, what are you drinking? Applause!"

The senior Apple executives and engineers in the front row pretended to be happy and excited, acting as the atmosphere group. As long as I wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.

Jobs felt insulted and his eyes twitched.

I wish I could ask the security immediately to remove all these applauding bastards and prevent them from even entering the press conference!

You just shouted "bravo", you are definitely here to cause trouble!

He glanced angrily at the auditorium. It was pitch dark and he couldn't find anyone booing, so he continued to talk angrily.

"Three years ago, I brought iTunes to the stage to show everyone what the future of music will look like."

"Today, we made a cool feature in iTunes that defines the future model of music trading. I call it, 'Music Vending Machine'."

When the full-screen iTunes and music mall appeared on the projector, it was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the remaining enthusiasm of fruit fans and the media, and poured a chill on their hearts.

All around, it was deathly quiet.

Whenever Jobs finished demonstrating a feature, not only Andy, but also engineers in the entire department rushed to take a sip of wine, and the bottom of the bottle was instantly exhausted.

Perhaps, this is the last sip of wine.

"It now runs for free on Microsoft systems."

Jobs, with his head full of black lines, forced a smile to finish everything.

"Ah, isn't this copying our spotify?"

Zhang Tianmei frowned, refreshing her knowledge of Apple.

Lu Fei rubbed his tongue, shook his head and laughed.

iTunes’ music library only has 200,000 songs, a failure!

iTunes mall has no rating mechanism, failure!

The SNS community of iTunes is terrible, a failure within a failure!

At this moment, I could clearly hear people of all colors and ages, more or less, more or less, shouting disappointment and vomiting fragrance.

That’s it? That’s it?

r, refund the money!

It's over, it's over...

Zhang Tianmei shrank her head: "Mr. Lu, do we still want to show respect?"

"What do you think? Aren't you afraid of being beaten?"

Lu Fei looked around, feeling happy and already looking forward to the headlines in tomorrow's newspaper.

…………

"Apple's new phone launch conference was a big disappointment. ituify, iPod imitated lsic, and the imitators said the imitators were 'infringers'!"

"Apple has no creativity, and Steve Jobs has exhausted all his talents!"

"Apple is no longer amazing. The iPod is a flash in the pan. As the pioneer of digital music players, it is going through a long period of stagnation, launching larger memory capacity, brighter colors and software, and there are no explosive innovations."

“Let’s start with the history of iPod imitation! In addition to iPod3 being suspected of imitating LSIC, according to insiders, iPod1 is also suspected of imitating the appearance of the Lawn T3 radio, turning the latter’s speaker into a black and white display and enlarging the middle button. Apple’s fortune Full of unbearable…”

The big newspapers don't dare to be blatant, and the tabloids have no scruples. They come with headlines and sensationalism. They used to throw dirty water on logic, but now they throw it all back at once.

"boom!"

Jobs pounded the table hard, "Immediately send a lawyer's letter to these newspapers so that they must publish an apology in the newspapers, now!"

Seeing him roaring like a sick tiger, Riccio stepped forward and said, "Steve, our stock price has dropped!"

One day later, Apple's price went red, falling below $13.

Board members hurried over and asked loudly:

"Steve, our stock price is down!"

Two days later, the sales volume of the iTunes store in the two days after its launch was less than half of the one-day sales of Spotify.

"Steve, our stock price is down again!"

Three days later, just as the short sellers were preparing to enter the market, however——

"Steve, our stock price is going up!"

Four days later.

"Steve, our stock price has gone up again!"

One week later.

"Steve, we found out that it is an offshore private equity fund registered in Cayman, Donglu, which is continuing to drive up our stock price!"

Cook hurriedly reported back and had already bought 1.1%.

Jobs went from surprise, to confusion, to suspicion, and there was a vague sense of conspiracy. Both he and Apple were in the game.

"Investigate, investigate immediately! There is also an anti-dumping lawsuit against Logic, don't worry about Samsung and Sony, we will initiate it directly!"

"Haha, Steve."

Cook shook his head helplessly and handed over the lawyer's letter, "This was just sent from Logic today. It is an antitrust lawsuit against Apple."

"What?!"

Jobs was shocked, and a strong stabbing pain suddenly erupted in his lower back.

Kidney stones are causing trouble! I need a kidney drip!

ps: Pay it back!
