Chapter 2487 Lost

Feng Yiping's words actually conveyed this meaning, "If we can negotiate well tomorrow, you can leave tomorrow. If we can negotiate well the day after tomorrow, then you can only leave the day after tomorrow..."

It’s about when to talk and when to leave.

On the other hand, if the negotiation is not good, then we will not be able to leave.

Of course he won't use any strong tactics. In fact, Fink and Johnson can leave now regardless of Feng Yiping's request.

But that means that they actually chose to completely turn against Feng Yiping, but that was not their choice long ago.

Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson were planning to leave at night because they wanted to delay their departure.

If they are in a hurry to go back, then Feng Yiping will naturally send someone to their company to discuss with them. There is a lot of room for maneuver. The simplest is to play ball between various departments, or the relevant person in charge is on a business trip... …

Of course, it is impossible not to do it, but it is not impossible to turn the process into an ultra-marathon like squeezing toothpaste.

Not to mention other things, something like this can help them get rid of the bad breath today.

But facing such a domineering and straightforward Feng Yiping, they really had no choice but to delay him even if they wanted to.

At this moment, they all couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't that guy be a bit negligent?

Not at all!

At nine o'clock the next morning, they each received a call from the hotel front desk, saying that guests with appointments had arrived.

That was not an arranged guest at all. In fact, it was a team, a very well-configured team. During the negotiation with them, Fink and Johnson agreed that the main work of these two teams should be It's mergers and acquisitions.

They finally guessed correctly. These two teams were indeed drawn from the M&A team.

In fact, since Feng Yiping met with Fink and the others in Mantingfang yesterday afternoon and gave them an ultimatum, the entire M&A team has been preparing for this work. They have been busy from then until this morning.

In addition to the companies that Feng Yiping specifically named, they also analyzed the situation of many other companies in which Black Rock and Fidelity held shares. Some of them they felt they could also hold, while others were only intended to be used as Bargaining chip.

They also need to comprehensively consider how many shares are most suitable to take over from which two companies.

This number must not be completely unacceptable to Fink and others, but at the same time, it must be able to convince the corresponding companies.

In addition, there are also the transfer price, payment method, approximate transaction time... there are really many things.

In contrast, Funk and the others were in a hurry and were not fully prepared, so even the two big guys, Funk and Johnson, often had to go out in person and bargain for every penny.

Most of the time, they mainly act as white faces, saying forcefully, "We can't accept such a request!" or, "Where's Feng, let him talk to us!"

But their approach had no effect at all. The leaders of Feng Yiping's two teams, those two little-known guys, didn't take their two bosses seriously at all, and they always only knew Meet toughness with toughness.

Every time Fink and the others said something like that, they didn't explain much. They were just ready to give up their choices. "The numbers we have carefully analyzed are still not acceptable? Okay, let's not talk about it then,"

From morning to noon, the team sent to contact Fink stood up and prepared to leave five times in total. Johnson's side was slightly better, but also three times.

In this way, it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the meeting, which had been very intense from beginning to end, finally came to an end.

As a result, it was naturally Feng Yiping's two teams that accomplished all their goals.

Although there will definitely be some adjustments in the final result, and although the final completion of these transactions will take time, from this broad framework, they are almost a complete victory.

Shortly after they left with great satisfaction, Fink and Johnson received calls from Feng Yiping. This time, Feng Yiping was more enthusiastic towards them and called them "my old friends".

However, Fink and Johnson once again declined Feng Yiping's invitation to dine together.

After several hours of intense and gunpowder-filled negotiations, their understanding of Feng Yiping improved to a new level.

Both Fink and Johnson had set a rule in their hearts at this time: Feng Yiping, if you can't see him, he will be there.

Because nothing good will happen if you see him.

Finally, someone, like Wu Xinyang, felt that Feng Yiping was a scourge that must be avoided.

…………

In the hotel, after packing her luggage, Abigail looked at her father's tired face, thought for a while, and asked a question, "Why don't we tell Feng Yiping the main designer of this plan?"

She already knew that the initiator of Feng Yiping's plan was not his father or Lawrence Fink, but someone else.

"It is conceivable that this will definitely win Feng's favor,"

"No," Johnson shook his head gently. At this time, he felt that he really didn't have the strength to even make larger movements. "Why should we tell him?"

The reason, didn’t I tell you? Abigail thought to herself that this would definitely win Feng's favor, and then that favor might quickly turn into conditions that are beneficial to us.

"You have to know that telling him is equivalent to reminding him,"

"Why should we tell him? Isn't it better to let him know that someone is targeting him?" Johnson's cloudy eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

Abigail suddenly realized, "So that's it!"

After she asked this question, Johnson finally became more energetic, but when he saw Lawrence Fink at the airport, his mood became depressed again.

Lawrence was the same, and he felt very aggrieved.

Part of the reason was that they were forced to sign an agreement similar to a surrender.

Another part of the reason was because of Jobs.

At this time, Jobs' remarks finally appeared on the Internet. He told reporters, "Android is a shameful copy of us!"

"Rubin is a shameful thief!"

"He used some of the information he came into contact with when he worked at Apple, and all the information he could collect after the release of the iPhone, to shamelessly write Android."

He still said that sentence, "He is a poor, shameful thief who imitates me from hairstyle to glasses, from clothes to jewelry!"

When asked by reporters about the impact that Android may have on Apple, he said that he didn't care at all, "We have sold millions of iPhones, and our software and hardware have been tested by the market and have received unanimous praise,"

"We don't think a product based on copying can have any impact on us,"

"We can wait and see!" He said...

Although Jobs did not agree to cooperate with their actions, he finally got angry with Android, and they should have been excited about it.

However, a little analysis will reveal that what Jobs said is entirely possible, just for the shareholders to hear, and he didn't mean it at all.

What's more, he has always focused on Android, or rather, on Rubin. It seems that he will never have a direct conflict with Feng Yiping and Feng Yiping's company. He is just a loser who only picks the soft persimmon.

This is far from what Fink and others have imagined.

His attitude towards the Open Handset Alliance is even weaker.

When asked, he said, "Open systems do not always beat closed systems,"

"Openness, to a certain extent, means chaos and fragmentation,"

"...Integrated Apple will always defeat fragmented open systems,"

This still sounds more like a light attack on Android rather than the Open Handset Alliance.

This is understandable, because many members of the Open Handset Alliance are Apple's core suppliers, and random attacks are likely to have an adverse impact on the supply chain.

Fink looked at Jobs' words in the newspaper and said to Johnson, "Do you think he is also quite shameful?"

"For the sake of his own income in that fund, he completely disregarded the interests of Apple,"

Johnson felt the same way, but he looked at other reports related to Android in the newspaper and finally felt that Jobs might have some very realistic reasons for saying that.

For example, there are so many heavyweights in newspapers, on the Internet, and on TV to stand up for Android. No matter how irritable Jobs is, he always has to consider the consequences if he is on the opposite side of everyone.

Johnson finally saw in the newspaper that Pelosi, who was also highly expected by them, had made an advertisement for Android in order to get Feng Yiping's permission to visit Tesla to show her support for Tesla.

That can really be said to be kneeling to Android.

Jobs must have thought clearly that it doesn't matter if he plays against Pelosi, but it is quite meaningless to play against a large group of congressmen.

Besides, it was not only Pelosi on Capitol Hill who mentioned and advertised Android yesterday. Some people in the Treasury Department also did so.

The Treasury Department is a very powerful department. Even Jobs should be treated politely.

"I think the best is yet to come," Fink never gave up hope. "Android has just been released. Although it looks better than the operating system on the current iPhone, there are still no Android phones available."

"When Android phones are available, there will be phones that are better than iPhones in terms of software and hardware, and the price will be much lower than Apple's usual high-end price... I believe that he will never be as calm as he is now."

Johnson listened to his voice getting louder and louder, and wanted to ask him, are you talking to others or yourself?
