Chapter 3100 Conditions that Microsoft had to accept
"Lin Feng, why are you here!" Ballmer suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Feng with a livid face.
Lin Feng is actually here, then he is being tricked by Lin Feng and Ellison together.
Damn it! I was fooled, by Ellison and Lin Feng! Thinking about it, Ballmer turned around and left.
"Ballmer, aren't you afraid that I will reveal that the core business of 'nvidia' is still in my hands?" Ellison said with a smile.
Ballmer struggled to turn his head, extremely confused, with an annoyed look on his face, "What do you want!"
Lin Feng smiled.
"Ballmer, we don't want to do anything, we just feel that we have the upper hand in the current situation, so if you don't want to lose money and lose people, it's best to cooperate!" Lin Fengxiao said.
Ballmer was very unhappy with what he said. It was too harsh. But what Lin Feng said was the truth. 'Microsoft' made one mistake, one step at a time. If 'Microsoft' didn't think about acquiring 'nvidia', it would be better for Lin Feng.
A heavy blow will prevent us from hastily falling into the trap of Lin Feng and Ellison, and will not put 'Microsoft' in trouble.
"Tell me what you want!" Ballmer knew that he couldn't hide now, so he might as well see what Lin Feng wanted to do.
"It's very simple, choose one, either 'Microsoft' admits that my 'Pangu System' is good, or I will wait until 'Microsoft' only purchases 'nvidia' as an empty shell for US$1.05 billion!" Lin Fengxiao said.
Ballmer's face darkened. Both of these choices were terrible. Admitting that 'Pangu System' was good would be tantamount to giving up half of the operating system market, which is absolutely impossible. But if you don't agree, then once 'Microsoft' is announced, it will cost a lot of money.
The price just bought an empty shell. The result is also very bad. Not only will Microsoft's stock price plummet again, but Lin Feng's Pangu System will also be recognized by the market.
Ballmer doesn't want to choose either option. But as Lin Feng said, 'Microsoft' has no choice now!
"I need to think about this carefully." Ballmer said in a deep voice, "I will give you an answer within three days!"
After saying that, Ballmer turned around and left without stopping at all. He took a private jet back to Seattle.
"Lin, what do you think Ballmer will choose?" Ellison chuckled.
"Haha, if you are impulsive, you will choose the second option. If you are rational, you will choose the first option. Of course, he has another option, which is to find ways to get the core business of 'nvidia' from you." Lin Feng smiled lightly, "
Apart from that, he has no other choice."
"But the core business of 'nvidia' cannot be taken away by anyone, right?" Ellison laughed.
"Well, but are you really sure there's no problem with Apple?" Lin Feng asked.
"Don't worry, Steve Jobs and I have been friends for many years. We have known each other since the beginning of our business. However, he succeeded a little earlier than me. But our relationship has never changed. And our ideals have not changed!" Ellison's eyes widened.
He smiled happily at the memory, "We were all so young back then, and we all had a dream to build the most successful high-tech company in the world. Now, he has succeeded, and so have I. But what stands in front of us is still
There is a 'Microsoft'. Haha, it depends on who steps on 'Microsoft' first!"
Lin Feng nodded. Regarding the relationship between Ellison and Jobs, Lin Feng had never expected this before. As for financial assistance this time, Lin Feng has not made up his mind and has not found a suitable candidate. Unexpectedly, Eli
Ellison solved it himself. He found Steve Jobs of Apple, and Steve Jobs was actually willing to help Ellison. However, Jobs's personal assets were only 8.1 billion US dollars, which could not help Ellison overcome the current difficulties. Therefore, he could only use
'Apple' comes with cash to settle.
"It seems that I should go thank Jobs. Without him, this time would really be a bit troublesome!" Lin Feng said solemnly. Without Jobs's appearance, Lin Feng would have to use the funds of those coal bosses to assist Egypt.
Leeson, then there is no way to cheat the Mellon consortium. This is an extremely huge loss.
"Well, Steve Jobs also meant this. I was worried that you wouldn't go." Ellison chuckled.
Naturally, he was worried that Lin Feng would not go. You must know that the relationship between Lin Feng and Jobs was not that friendly, and they were fierce rivals.
"Haha, go, why not go! Although Steve Jobs and I are competitors, we have no personal grudges. The issues between us are business matters. Haha, business matters. Naturally, we are sworn enemies during work. It doesn't matter after get off work. , there’s nothing wrong with drinking coffee together if you have nothing to do.” Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go. I made a reservation today and it's just the right time to go!" Ellison laughed, then pulled Lin Feng and left.
Not long after the meeting, Lin Feng met Steve Jobs in a coffee shop that was extremely simple in decoration but very atmospheric.
"Hi, Steve Jobs!" Lin Feng greeted with a smile, "Anyway, thank you very much this time. Although you are helping your friend Ellison, Ellison is like this because of me. Thank you very much.
!" Lin Feng thanked him sincerely.
"Lin, you don't need to thank me, because I am not helping you, but helping my friend. No matter who has trouble with Ellison, he is my friend. If he is in trouble, I will help him." Jobs
Smiling slightly, "Of course, whether you are Ellison's friend or not, I will defeat you!"
Hey! A light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. This Steve Jobs was still so confident and aggressive, which was a bit hard to resist. However, Lin Feng really wanted to deal with such a person, because he was filled with a kind of enterprising spirit.
, stay with this kind of person, and your whole person will be full of fighting spirit at all times.
People need fighting spirit, otherwise they will be like a puddle of mud, living like maggots, and such a life is like white wax.
"This is what I say back to you. Steve Jobs, in the mobile phone market, I will definitely beat your 'i...' mobile phone!" Lin Feng almost blurted out "iphone" directly.
i... Jobs frowned. What did Lin Feng want to say? What is the name of the mobile phone? i... What? iphone? This name seemed a bit interesting. Jobs smiled in his heart. The 'ipod' launched by 'Apple' now has many
The successful 'imac' has an 'i' in front of it. So the first letter of this era-changing mobile phone that is about to be launched is also called 'i', which is very interesting, good, good! Jobs is still struggling these two days
What name should I choose? Lin Feng's reminder solved a small problem for him.
As soon as Lin Feng saw Jobs's smile, he knew that he had helped Jobs solve a small problem. Helping an enemy solve a problem was not a pleasant experience. But even if Lin Feng didn't remind him of this kind of thing, I believe Jobs would have thought of it.
Because this is the development trajectory of history, and it is not something you can interfere with. Unless Lin Feng registers a similar trademark before Jobs launches 'ipod', then Jobs will not use it. With Jobs's perfect requirements, if
If he registered something similar, Steve Jobs would never use it again.
As for why 'i' is added to 'Apple' products, there are several explanations. One is that 'i' stands for me, that is, my mobile phone and my computer. There is also another, 'i'
The English pronunciation of 'Apple' is the same as the first syllable of 'Apple', which means it is an Apple product. Another explanation is the abbreviation of 'idea'. 'Apple' is a very creative company, and 'Apple' is always changing.
world.
So what should I name my mobile phone that is about to change the world? Lin Feng has a headache.
Ellison watched Lin Feng and Jobs bickering from the side with amusement. If someone else saw his friend bickering like this, he would be really worried and would definitely want to resolve it. But Ellison didn't, he could see that.
, although the two of them fought fiercely, it was only out of official business, not a life-and-death battle of personal grudges. Ellison would not interfere in this kind of official competition. Not only would he not interfere, he would actually enjoy the two of them.
So. You must know that on the way forward, in addition to sincere friends, you also need a qualified competitor. Obviously, Lin Feng and Jobs are each other's most suitable rivals.
"By the way, Larry, are you sure that your sales will reach 25 billion US dollars in five years?" After Jobs decided on the name of the new mobile phone, he gathered his thoughts and asked.
The terms of this bet were the result of discussions between Jobs and Apple's major shareholders, and they cannot be changed. Originally, Jobs really wanted to help Ellison, but he had no money, so he could only use the power of the company. But
Although Apple was founded by Steve Jobs, the founder did not have absolute say in the company. Otherwise, he would not have been kicked out by Apple's shareholders. It was not until Apple encountered a crisis that he
Then invite Steve Jobs back.
The gambling agreement is a necessary condition put forward by the major shareholders of Apple. And this condition was given because of Jobs's indispensable position in Apple. If this was the case before, Apple
'Before encountering a crisis, I'm afraid that if Jobs proposed this intention, he would be immediately driven away by those blind shareholders.
"Don't worry, it's no problem. Hehe, I will win this time. Hum, IBM, SPA, I will make them spit out the market they have usurped!" Ellison snorted coldly.
"By the way, Steve Jobs, your control over Apple is too weak. Look at me, then look at Lin, you have absolute control over the company. As a founder, you can be threatened by shareholders at any time.
Drive away, this is too unreliable. I say, you have to find ways to firmly control the company." Ellison persuaded.
Jobs shrugged. This was not the first time he heard Ellison's rhetoric. But Jobs never paid much attention to it. He believed that as long as he could continue to lead the company forward, the company's shareholders would not let him leave. He was
Use this to hone yourself, motivate yourself, and challenge yourself.
"By the way, Lin, I want to meet with you today for two purposes. One is to make a fight, and the other is to form an alliance. I won't talk about a fight, but are you interested in an alliance?" Jobs's eyes shone. (To be completed.)
