Reinventing the Millennium

Following the withdrawal of Shenxin Kechuang, an institutional shareholder, Xiangjiang Huanyu also announced its departure in accordance with the rules.

However, unlike the public opinion storm caused by the hardcore Wang Fengyi, although Xiangjiang Huanyu is also very important, it only serves as a footnote or intensification of the storm, continuing to deepen everyone's worries or expectations about Yike's decline.

Public opinion in China continues to ferment, because with the departure of shareholders, everyone believes more in the accuracy of overseas information, and pays more attention to the "two months" time point.

No, it’s only been a month and a half now. Even more, there are even rumors that the truth is not known. It’s only one month before the end of the patent litigation case between Nokia and Yike.

In short, it is likely that we will witness something destined to be highlighted in the near future. The results of Yike’s patent litigation and the company’s prospects have attracted widespread attention.

However, the wait-and-see mood in the country is strong, and Fang Zhuo doesn't feel much other than being happy that Xiangjiang Huanyu has made the right choice.

The success or failure of this operation does not lie in China. Public opinion there cannot lay the foundation, which means that the short-selling institutions here also reprint the key points.

On March 14, a media reporter interviewed Cook, who is currently in charge of Apple’s daily affairs, and asked him his views on this patent lawsuit.

As a recent newcomer in the smartphone industry, Apple was also sued by Nokia in the ITC, and even the patent infringement was basically the same.

However, Nokia's focus has always been on Yike. It not only held special press conferences, but also repeatedly named names and warned, as well as the personal voice of its leader Kallasvuo. On the contrary, it almost reached a patent settlement with Apple.

Now that Steve Jobs has temporarily retired, many media predict that Apple will make a new turn. After all, it is in the company's interests to take Yike's market share with Nokia and attack the development of the Android camp.

However, Cook was extremely decisive in facing the media cameras.

He first announced an important piece of news from the company: "The launch of the third-generation iPhone, originally scheduled for the end of June, will be advanced to May 9."

The press conference has been advanced by more than a month.

Immediately, Cook explained the connection between this change: "You ask me what I think about Nokia's patent litigation. I think Mr. Fang of Yike has already said it very well."

“When patents become a shackles that hinder industry progress and innovation, we must re-examine whether this is appropriate.”

"There is no doubt that consumers prefer smartphones that can meet more of their needs, and Nokia is lagging behind in this regard."

"Nokia sued Apple and Yike at the same time, but today, even if the ITC may rule against the two companies, the most dangerous one has become Nokia itself."

Cook surprised the media and seemed to be a firm ally when mentioning Yi Ke.

"Just as Mr. Fang planned, Nokia can use the ITC to ban the sale of competing products, but as long as our two companies survive the first wave of blows, Nokia will suffer the consequences of patent competition."

"Even if the ITC announces a sales ban this month, Apple can still gain two months of adjustment time. The new models we launch in May will be smoothly integrated, and only the older models will be affected."

"The impact of the ITC's ban on sales on both companies has been minimized."

"I think Nokia can consider what happens after the ruling."

Cook had a clear attitude and quoted Mr. Fang’s plan.

Yes, even if you ban sales, what will happen?

We give up the infringing old models. Can Nokia give up the capacitive screen smartphones?

After surviving the first wave, Nokia was the unlucky one.

If the ruling is made in the second half of last year, it will indeed greatly affect the company's model iterations.

Now, let's see who will fight to the end.

Cook's interview is tantamount to reaffirming Apple and Yike's determination to join forces.

Even though Jobs is away, he will still drive Apple and Yike to block Nokia.

Yike does have market share, but this time, if you want to take advantage of it, go big.

Cook is speaking out, and Fang Zhuo, as the major shareholder of Yike, continues to accumulate funds in the stock market.

However, just two days later, a piece of news about Yike Company once again attracted attention.

Yi Ke sued Motorola.

The reason is still similar to Nokia, and it also involves the capacitive touch screen patent of the new model.

This move is quite puzzling.

Yike's current situation is already very serious. Unlike Apple, even if Yike really survives Nokia's "test", Microsoft's powerful threat has already surfaced.

At this time, Yike actually wants to make enemies?

Are you really not afraid of death? Do you think the situation is not bad enough?

The reporter did not interview the head of Yike. Even Google Schmidt, who was stopped by reporters in a hurry, expressed a bit of confusion and confusion. Why bother with Motorola now?

The night after it was reported that Yike was suing Motorola, Fang Zhuo happily returned to the office.

He has been working overtime these days, and after taking care of business every day, he reviews the details of the two short squeeze plans with the gasoline people to try to reduce the uncertainty of the entire process.

Today, he successfully completed a small operation after having dinner with economist Summers.

Although Summers is now an important think tank for Xiao Ou in dealing with the financial crisis, he still holds the position of chief economist of the New York Economic Institute.

And, he is also one of the clients of MIGA Fund.

Fang Zhuo usually didn't like to trouble these people, but adhering to the principle of giving priority to fund clients, he still sought help from Summers in the public opinion, hoping that the New York Times and his resources could analyze the recent patent chaos in the mobile phone industry. .

In the past six months, mobile phone patents have been a hot topic in American public opinion. Nokia sued Apple and Yike, Yike and Apple sued Nokia, Yike sued HTC and LG, LG and HTC sued Yike...

There are other manufacturers involved in patents, all of which are famous, such as Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Google, Microsoft, Motorola...

In a short period of time, there have been so many mutual criticisms, all kinds of dazzling information and developments, and some manufacturers have actually been banned from entering the US market. This is an unconventional fierceness.

The reason is that the interests involved in the industry changes brought about by 3G and touch screens are the root cause behind the scenes.

Should patents be used in this way?

Fang Zhuo discussed this topic with Summers during dinner, and without too much effort he was promised that there would be a wave of such discussions and reflections.

Industry progress is the commanding heights, and patents should promote rather than hinder it.

"Mr. Fang, with such public opinion foreshadowing, it will be more logical for us to rely on you for the second time." Kong Yu felt quite excited after listening to Mr. Fang's dinner process.

Fang Zhuo nodded: "Well, everything must be considered for the sake of customers. Although they make money, we must let them have less worries while making money and doing things."

A second short squeeze requires the use of administrative resources.

Precisely, the final link in the ITC ruling is the Office of the Commander-in-Chief.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. In the planning and speculation of Fang Zhuo and Kong Yu, overturning the ruling is just a light instruction from the office, which is enough to be drowned in the news by various world events and recovery after the financial crisis.

However, we still have to do everything we do to satisfy our customers from the bottom of their hearts.

Fang Zhuo thought for a while and said: "Actually, Apple is united with us, which has reduced a lot of resistance."

Kong Yu thinks so too.

Overturning rulings by the Office of the Commander-in-Chief is unusual in history.

How to make the irregular become routine? How to make it not appear obtrusive?

It doesn't matter if it happens twice in a short period of time.

As Apple and Nokia terminate dialogue and reconciliation, Apple's ban from the ITC is also on the agenda.

But Apple is different from Yike. This is an authentic and famous American company.

Is there any infringement? Infringement.

What to do if you get banned?

Experts have said it, and the media has debated it. Patent litigation has become a bad policy, and this must change.

Changing this starts with overturning the ban on Yike.

Why was the ruling to ban the sale of Yike overturned? Is there any interest relationship?

No, no, no, there is no exchange of interest, because this ruling hinders industry innovation and progress.

Why was the decision to ban the sale of Apple overturned again?

Because this ruling really hinders industry innovation and progress.

When Yike is bound to Apple, and if there is a patent chaos, the ruling by the General Office will not be so difficult.

This is a suggestion from Kong Yu, the head of MIGA Fund, who wants his clients to make money with their heads held high.

It’s not me, Xiao Aohei, it’s you, the manufacturers who engage in mobile phone patent competition, who are so outrageous.

I am leading the office to come out and say something fair. Let Nokia sue Apple and Yike this time. In the future, Apple and Yike will not be allowed to easily make fuss about patents, and they should not attack each other in this field.

Now each has fifty majors. If you have the ability, continue to speak in the market with your products.

Fang Zhuo believes that the gasoline man's spirit of thinking about his customers is very commendable and further increases the possibility of overturning the ban.

He talked for a while about the situation at Summers.

Summers has a very cunning style. After making sure that the media trend would not affect him, he agreed without asking what the purpose was.

"Mr. Kong, you are still thoughtful. I just put my hope in the interests of customers rather crudely." Fang Zhuo said sincerely.

Kong Yu also said sincerely: "Mr. Fang, you are the foundation. If you don't tie everyone together, they will definitely be happy to see Yi Ke die."

The end point of the current management line is the interests of the Xiao Ao Family Foundation. At the same time, there are other people on the line who can help speak.

Why speak for help? Because the money really bought Yike shares.

Kong Yu is relatively confident about the success of the second short squeeze.

Take last year's incident of Porsche manipulating Volkswagen's stock price. Volkswagen's stock price and market value increased five times.

What kind of concept is this? Using the figures of the Xiao Ao Family Fund, it is now US$50 million. If it has doubled five times, it will be US$250 million. On the contrary, it may fall below US$10 million.

One is a millionaire and the other is a billionaire.

The initiative in this robbery lies entirely in the hands of the customer.

The more Kong Yu is in the United States, the less difficult he thinks this question is.

What he is doing now is to try his best to provide a reasonable basis for decision-making and try his best to protect his customers' personal information.

Mr. Fang’s crude association is the basic skeleton, and now the company’s joint efforts with public opinion are flesh and blood.

On the contrary, Kong Yu felt that there was a lot of uncertainty in the first short squeeze.

But no matter what, if the financial means fails the first time, there will still be administrative resources for the second time. If the second time unexpectedly proves Xiao Ao's breeze, there may be a profit bottom line for the first time.

If it fails both times...then launch a new phone in June, kill Nokia, and be involved in the market.

Following his habit these past few days, Kong Yu discussed with his boss for nearly two hours. When he finally got up and left, he remembered the latest piece of news he had received.

"I heard from the vest in Chicago that a hedge fund in Xiangjiang came to inquire about the situation and seemed to be interested in trying to short Yike."

Fang Zhuo frowned, and his first reaction was to ask: "You mean, people from Huanyu changed hands and went short?"

Kong Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "No, the people in Huanyu shouldn't be that bad."

He explained: "What I mean is that it may be that funds from the mainland have been trapped in the shell of Xiangjiang hedge funds and are looking for front-line news."

Fang Zhuo said "Oh" and said after a few seconds: "It's okay. Anyone who dares can come to the financial stage. We are also at risk of losing money."

Kong Yu nodded in agreement. Indeed, when it comes to the poker table, who can make a sure profit without losing money?

Even if this time there is some suspicion of spending money to buy referees, isn't that so-and-so from the hedge fund also spending money on ITC?

Everyone is suspected, which means no one is suspected.

Fang Zhuo is from New York, where the media is developed and reporters are everywhere. Even though he deliberately avoids interviews, he still gets blocked sometimes.

He actually doesn't want to be exposed to the public media recently. The last time he said "put aside patents" is still often repeated.

It's best to wait until financial means decide the outcome before facing the camera.

But it’s not impossible to say a few words.

"I noticed that many institutions are maliciously shorting Yike."

"They are even inciting the media to mislead investors, saying that Yike's stock price is in a bubble."

"This is very dangerous behavior."

"I advise those who are maliciously shorting Yike to stop immediately."

"This is a manufacturer dispute between Yike and Nokia. It is a patent dispute. It is a battle between advanced and backward. It is not a place for institutions to wait for opportunities to grab profits."

"Malicious short selling will not end well."

Fang Zhuo faced the media and issued a stern warning to the malicious short-selling institutions.

Then, he was ridiculed again.

——Is there any bubble in Yike’s share price? Ha ha ha ha.

——Yike is about to be banned from selling. Isn’t the stock price bubble yet?

——Since everyone has gone short, why do you still do short selling maliciously? Are there any good people who are short sellers?

——"Put it aside" and "Malicious short selling".

Fang Zhuo's interview even aroused the interest of the big short Paulson to speak out for the second time.

He commented on Twitter with great interest: "Malicious short selling? Does Mr. Fang think his warning will be effective? How naive and cute."
