General Motors, Ford, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and other automobile giants have given up. What about Japanese automobile giants? What about Toyota, Honda and other companies?

"We will never let Lin Feng take advantage of it!" Akio Toyoda said coldly.

"Yes, this price is obviously too high. I think Ellison is clearly here to be a pawn. We will not be fooled!" Honda Hiroshi sneered.

If they are going to be fooled by such a simple 'trust', then it's a problem with their IQ.

After hearing this, many CEOs woke up. Yes, Ellison's arrogant attempt to disrupt the situation was clearly for his own sake. Otherwise, how could he have offered a price of US$1 billion? Even if Oracle had money now,

Don't waste money like this.

"But it's not right. If no one falls into the trap, then Ellison will have to bear the money. One billion US dollars is too much!" said a CEO.

"Huh, isn't this simple? If no one falls into the trap and Ellison spends money to buy advertising spots, then Lin Feng can spend the money on Oracle. They are the left hand

Just go in and go out with your right hand." Akio Toyoda sneered.

Everyone suddenly realized. If this is the case, will Ballmer still fall into the trap?

The muttering behind was naturally heard by Ballmer. He was naturally quite wary of the 'trust' statement behind him. He was extremely suspicious. But for 'Microsoft', this was an opportunity to attack Lin Feng. In'

It's exciting to think about the "Microsoft" advertisement on the Second World. But the price is too high.

"What, Ballmer, you still bid or don't bid. If you don't bid, forget it! Melissa, bang the gavel!" Ellison said with a laugh.

"Ah!" Melissa was stunned. She also heard the CEOs' discussions behind them. These CEOs had no worries, and the voices of their discussions were not quiet. Of course, they also discussed loudly like this on purpose, just to make Ballmer

Listen to it, so as not to be discussed by Lin Feng and Ellison. Although Melissa doesn't know whether this matter is really a conspiracy between Lin Feng and Ellison, but judging from the current situation, it is probably possible.

But how could Ellison urge her to give it a shot? This shot was the final word.

"Hey, shoot quickly, shoot quickly, it will save you a long night of sleep!" Ellison muttered.

Everyone looked sideways. What is going on? Logically speaking, if the two set up a trap, then they should delay time in every possible way and trick Ballmer into increasing the price. Why is Ellison urging so eagerly? This is not normal!

What on earth is going on? Many CEOs were a little confused for a while.

"Boss, what should I do?" Melissa asked belatedly.

"Shoot! Although I don't understand what Ellison wants to do, we must abide by the rules!" Lin Feng motioned to Melissa to hit the mallet.

"Oh!" Although Melissa didn't understand, she still raised the auction hammer and asked loudly, "1 billion for the first time, 1 billion for the second time, 1 billion for the third time!" Melissa saw no one.

If you make a sound, the hammer will fall.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Paul Otellini protested.

Everyone exclaimed. What’s going on? Is ‘Intel’, which has been silent all this time, going to increase prices at the last moment?

"Paul, are you crazy? The price is so high, it's very likely that they set it up!" Ballmer whispered.

"Steve, I also know that this may be a trap, but this is also an excellent opportunity to attack Lin Feng. You never want the operating system market to be occupied by Lin Feng in the end." Paul Otellini said.

Ballmer frowned. Microsoft's most profitable product is the Office series, which is known as Microsoft's money printing machine. But what is called Office is Microsoft's operating system. If Microsoft's operating system is

If the wind is defeated, then 'Microsoft' will lose its most profitable project. Then 'Microsoft' will be in danger.

"But the price is too high and not cost-effective," Ballmer said.

"The price is indeed high, and no matter which one of us can bear it, it is not cost-effective. Therefore, I propose that we both jointly invest. Then, we should publish our advertisements in the advertisements." Otellini smiled slightly, "With the strength of our two families,

, Ellison doesn’t care what the hell!”

Two joint ventures! Ballmer's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good idea, and with the relationship between Microsoft and Intel, as well as the experience of previous cooperation, I believe that this cooperation can also achieve good results. If

In this way, we can indeed cooperate.

"But what if Ellison continues to raise prices?" Ballmer asked.

"Then let's give up. If the price is too high, it's not worthwhile. This US$1 billion is already our limit." Otellini said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I agree to our cooperation!" Ballmer nodded.

Otellini stood up with a smile.

"On behalf of 'Intel' and 'Microsoft', I jointly invested US$1 billion and 1!" Otellini pondered for a moment and said a price that shocked everyone.

US$1 billion and 1, this price is really speechless. Obviously, this is also a price tag of US$300 million in return for Ellison's previous firing.

"Boss, they are making trouble!" Melissa whispered.

Lin Feng shook his head. Ellison just shouted out the price of US$301 million, but he didn't say anything. Now that Paul Otellini has offered such a price, he can't say anything either. Otherwise, he will be accused of being unfair.

.And tonight's auction will probably end up in a farce. Lin Feng may even receive an investigation subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Ellison frowned. This guy's move was exactly the same as what he had just done. What made Ellison even more afraid was that this was probably Paul Otellini's final bid. If he raised the price as loudly as before,

, I’m afraid the other party will give up. In that case, Ellison will also have a little difficulty.

One billion US dollars is Ellison's limit. No matter how high it is, he has to think about it. It can't really be true that he and Lin Feng are setting up a trap here as the outside world says. It is indeed right for him to help Lin Feng.

But there is absolutely no such thing as a set-up. And even if he does take the picture, he will never do any tricks like leaving with his left hand and coming out with his right hand. He, Ellison, has never been so cunning.

"What, Ellison, you don't want to bid anymore. Are you no longer confident?" Ballmer, however, would not let Ellison go silent. He had a face full of ridicule. He was crushed by Ellison just now. At this time

It's his turn to show off his authority.

Ellison snorted.

"What? Silent? Silent! Ellison, this is not like the Ellison I know!" Ballmer laughed.

"The villain succeeds!" Melissa groaned.

Lin Feng frowned. Seeing Ellison's gloomy face, he knew that Ellison was wary of the price, which was beyond his ability to bear. To be honest, Lin Feng was a little bit worried about the price of 1 billion US dollars today.

Dumbfounded. This was completely beyond Lin Feng's expectation. Originally, it was 300 million U.S. dollars. It was already very surprising. And it is natural for Ellison to back down now. Even if both parties are brothers, they will not fight for the same thing.

This was not a very important auction, but it made Ellison suffer. Lin Feng also felt bad about it.

Of course, it won't work if Ballmer is allowed to be arrogant here. After thinking about it, Lin Feng winked at Ellison and stretched out a finger.

Ellison was stunned for a moment, then understood and grinned.

"Ballmer, don't be arrogant. Do you think you are the only one who will raise the price? I will too! In this case, I will bid $1 billion and 2!" Ellison stretched out two fingers and shook them at Ballmer, "

How about it, now the price is one dollar higher than yours! Why don’t you increase the price?”

Buzz! All the CEOs feel that their brains are deprived of oxygen and they can't breathe. This is too exaggerated. Ellison really dares to offer a price of US$1 billion and 2! This is a lot of pure and irritating! It's only a dollar more.

That's all.

"Ellison! What price are you talking about!" Ballmer couldn't help roaring. Originally, according to his and Otellini's negotiation, once Ellison raised another price, they would give up US$1 billion, which was their limit.

But Ellison just offered a price of one dollar more, which is unbearable. Do you think they should give up or continue?

"Why, you are allowed to raise a price, but I am not allowed to raise a price? Do you know that you look down on others?" Ellison said proudly, holding a cigar in his mouth, "Everyone depends on his ability. If you have the ability, you can offer a higher price than me. Let me

I can’t afford it, otherwise I won’t be chirping here.”

Ballmer's eyes almost burst into flames.

"$1 billion and 3!" Paul Otellini didn't bother to talk nonsense with Ellison and directly offered the price.

"$1 billion and 4!" Ellison was also unceremonious and directly increased the price.

"One billion and five dollars!"

"$1 billion and 6!"

.

All the presidents were dumbfounded. What are you doing? Are you buying vegetables at the vegetable market? Is the auction going to look like this? The price is increased by 1 US dollar at a time. In terms of the worth of both parties, how long will this increase last before anyone

Give up. This is too exaggerated!

"Boss, what should I do about this?" As a former host, Melissa has seen a lot, but she has never seen anything as exaggerated as today. This is simply too weird. If this continues, when will

It's a head.

"Both of you, please pause for a moment." Lin Feng said to stop Ellison and Otellini's "weird" bidding. If this continues, it is not an option. Although he asked Ellison to increase the price by $1, it would give Ballmer a blow.

It's arrogant, but we can't let the $1 increase go on. Otherwise, it's really going to be all over the place.

"You two, this is a very serious auction, not a vegetable market. Of course, I can't change the rules now. For example, the minimum starting price may not be the same. So, we will auction in secret.

Leeson, Otellini, each of you write a price and give it to my secretary, Miss Melissa, tonight’s host. Then she will show it to everyone. The one with the highest price will get it, how about it?" Lin Feng

Laugh.

All the presidents' eyes lit up, this is a good suggestion. Secret auction is the most interesting auction situation. Because the price is written down secretly, it is necessary to estimate the other party's price, otherwise you will write a little lower and end up auctioning the other party.

Winning would be depressing.

Secret bidding is the most testing way of bidding!

"I don't have a problem. It's fun to play like this!" Ellison chuckled.
