Chapter 2378 Going to Microsoft Headquarters
Will Arroyo compromise?
No, she will never compromise. She is like a woman who was abandoned by her husband, became a mistress, and was humiliated by the original wife and went crazy. She will never compromise. Arroyo held a national televised speech, calling on all Filipinos to unite and use onboard graphics cards or professional graphics cards temporarily at this critical moment, and not to compromise with the devil Lin Feng.
Under Arroyo's call, the Filipino people can still barely use graphics cards temporarily. However, this process must not last too long. You know, in addition to the professional graphics cards of "ATS" and "NVSDA", Lin Feng's products also dominate the onboard graphics card market. As for "Intel", although it is also developing onboard graphics cards, the display effect is not worth mentioning. Conservatively speaking, if you install XP now, you can barely watch RM with the lowest traffic, and you can't watch DVDs with higher traffic. As for high-definition video, don't even think about 720P and 1080P. It will be stuck when you open it.
So, if there is no change, will the Filipino people be able to bear it? Of course, they will definitely not be able to bear it. Someone will definitely try to find ways to sell sī graphics cards through various channels. Once Lin Feng knows about this, he will definitely take the opportunity to mock the Philippine government. This is definitely not what Arroyo wants to see, so she immediately contacted Intel and begged Intel to solve the problem of onboard graphics cards as soon as possible.
However, Intel is also very distressed about this. They have long wanted to enter the graphics card market, but the problem is that they do not have the technology in this area, and all the technology is in the hands of Lin Feng. In such a situation, it is very difficult for Intel to create people out of thin air. It takes time! At least three years, according to Intel's estimate, it will take at least three years to develop an onboard graphics card that is comparable to Lin Feng's onboard graphics card.
As for independent graphics cards, that... "Intel" has not thought about it yet. After all, sometimes you can't get things done just by being determined. This world has never been transferred by the will of a certain person.
"Boss, there are already many sī teams in the Philippines that specialize in selling sī graphics cards and making profits. Do we need to take action against them?" Wu Zhaopu asked through a long-distance video call.
You don't need to take any action. You just need to spread a few rumors that you will take action against these illegal activities. At that time, those merchants will definitely raise the prices. And all this money will naturally be passed on to the Filipino users in the end. Once they can no longer afford the high prices, their final resentment will still be vented on the government. Don't forget that the most selfish and most easily betrayed creatures in the world are humans. For their own interests, any country or nation can be abandoned. "Lin Feng said with a faint smile.
Lin Feng is definitely not making this up. What national justice and national interests are incomparable in the face of absolute personal interests. If the current situation continues, the public resentment in the Philippines will definitely be great.
Lin Feng wants to see how Arroyo will suppress these grievances.
Of course,
If you only rely on this, you can't deal with the Philippines. This is painless. In this world, what can really clamp down on a country is never scientific and technological power. Scientific and technological power can only conquer a country, but cannot make a country surrender. What can really clamp down on a country's lifeline is always food.
As in "World War" Just like players from all over the world are worried about food all day long, and have not launched a real war that sweeps the world, food is always the most critical in the real world. No matter how advanced your technology is, without food, there will be no soldiers and people, and will the country still exist?
So the most effective means to deal with the Philippines is still food. Lin Feng vaguely remembers that in 2008, a global food crisis broke out in the world. Lin Feng remembers that at that time, the price of food soared from 350 US dollars per ton to 1,000 US dollars per ton, causing hunger all over the world. Lin Feng remembers that the reason for the skyrocketing food prices was due to the drought in several major food-producing countries, as well as rising oil prices and biofuels. The reason is the strong demand.
The Philippines is not a grain-producing country. Once a food crisis breaks out, it will have a serious impact on the Philippines, a country with limited foreign exchange capacity. To put it bluntly, it is possible that the country will collapse directly. Therefore, from the beginning, Lin Feng did not expect to use any national boycott or sales ban to deal with the Philippines. Those are only temporary solutions, and they are all small and insignificant means.
What Lin Feng wants to do is to make the global food crisis break out in advance. Originally, Lin Feng could not do this. Because Lin Feng did not have enough capital, but now Lin Feng has enough capital, 45.5 billion US dollars Yuan, enough for Lin Feng to speculate on food prices.
However, once Lin Feng takes action, the action will be huge. If he is not careful, he will arouse global vigilance. Therefore, Lin Feng convened this "National Network Conference" to openly challenge "Microsoft" and use it to carry out his own food crisis plan. Of course, Lin Feng is not just to deal with the Philippines. This food crisis can also make Lin Feng money. When food prices soar three times, Lin Feng's assets will also soar. Once the assets exceed one trillion, it will also rank high in the G23 organization. Those people in G23 really can't easily touch Lin Feng.
However, before Lin Feng takes action, he must tease "Microsoft" more.
Lin Feng walked out of the Hilton Hotel, and all the reporters followed him immediately. Lin Feng stayed in the Hilton Hotel for so long, what on earth did he want to do? It was very intriguing and curious.
Lin Feng went straight to the Hilton family's manor in the suburbs of New York City, and many reporters followed him all the way.
"Barron Hilton, I accept your conditions." Lin Feng opened the door and shocked Barron Hilton with one sentence.
These days, Barron Hilton originally thought that Lin Feng would not agree to his companionship, but he did not expect Lin Feng to agree.
But you must agree to one thing, if you want to sell your shares in the future, you must sell them to me. Sell them to me at the market price!" Lin Feng stated.
"Of course! Of course! This is natural. But I believe we will not sell the shares of the "Second World". After all, this is used to pass on the family and give future descendants some real estate. "Barron Hilton's face was full of joy.
Sell? He would never sell the shares of the Second World. Although he cooperated with the Morgan Consortium, the Morgan Consortium also expected that even if Lin Feng agreed to sell the shares to make friends with the Hilton family, he would sign a similar additional treaty. Therefore, the Morgan Consortium did not want the ownership of the shares at all, but only the voting rights of the shares in the future. Therefore, Barron Hilton agreed very readily.
With this major premise solved, the rest would not be difficult to solve. Quickly, Lin Feng and Barron Hilton reached an agreement on the acquisition of Hilton Wine Industry. And immediately held a press conference at Hilton Manor. With so many reporters following behind, it would be a pity not to use it.
"I announce the full acquisition of Hilton Hotels at a price of US$27 billion, of which I will invest US$19 billion in cash plus 3% of the "Second World" shares I hold. "Lin Feng announced loudly.
Uproar! No one expected that Lin Feng would come to Hilton Manor and complete such an acquisition. The rumor was false. Blackstone was going to acquire Hilton Hotel, why did it suddenly become Lin Feng? And Lin Feng also sold 3% of the shares of "Second World". Didn't Lin Feng always regard "Second World" as the most precious? Why would he be willing to sell fake shares? You know, Lin Feng is not short of money now.
Oh! It seems that Lin Feng should make friends with the Hilton family, so that he can use the power of the Hilton family to fight against "Microsoft". Although the Hilton family is not in the music industry, but in the hotel industry, the Hilton family has a wide network of contacts. Helping Lin Feng to promote his operating system is indeed Very helpful. No wonder Lin Feng would sell the "Second World" shares of Gill.
Many reporters guessed and guessed the surface of the matter thoroughly. However, these reporters lacked evidence and naturally could not guess the mystery hidden inside.
There are still 32% of the shares. Now it depends on whether Abby Cohen can acquire more shares. As for the 10% of the shares in the hands of Fife, I will go to him after this matter is settled.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and set off again. Many reporters were stunned, not understanding where Lin Feng was going in such a hurry, but they followed him. Then, they found that Lin Feng actually went straight to the airport.
This, this, he has a private plane, how do we know where he is going! Many reporters got anxious when they saw it.
"Everyone, don't worry. Our boss is about to leave for Redmen, Washington State. Zhiling told many reporters.
Going to Redmen, Washington State? Many reporters were stunned.
This Redmen City is very remote, and it is not a very prosperous city. Why is Lin Feng going there? But why does this city sound so familiar?
Wait! It seems that Microsoft's headquarters is in Redmeng City! Yes, in Redmeng City. Oh my God, why is Lin Feng going to the "Microsoft" headquarters? Why is he going to the "Microsoft" headquarters? Is he going to mess things up! Thinking of this, many reporters were excited. If Lin Feng really went to the "Microsoft" headquarters to mess things up, that would be awesome.
They must go, they must go. They absolutely cannot miss this scene, such a wonderful scene, they absolutely cannot miss it. At this moment, about 1,000 reporters rushed to book tickets and flew directly to Redmeng City. However, Redmeng City is not a big city after all, and there are not enough flights. Fortunately, many reporters will also find a way, so they will transfer to other flights, such as to Seattle, and the "Microsoft" headquarters is between Seattle and Redmeng City.
"Buzz" one after another 747 took off, heading for Seattle.
At this time, under the publicity of these reporters, the rumor that Lin Feng was going to the "Microsoft" headquarters had long been known to the streets. Hearing this news, everyone was a little stunned.
He went to Microsoft headquarters, interesting! Jobs adjusted his black-framed glasses, smiled faintly, and immediately set off for the "Microsoft" headquarters. He couldn't miss this good opportunity.
"Haha, Lin went to Microsoft, I want to go too. Damn, the distance is a bit far, but fortunately I have a MiG-5, which can't be used to travel faster!" Ellison also laughed and drove the "MiG-5" straight to Seattle.
"Bill, Lin Feng is coming to our headquarters!" Ballmer frowned.
"He's coming? Then let him come. We are not a Japanese area, it is impossible to prohibit him from coming." Bill Gates said lazily.
"But why is he here now?" Ballmer said with a headache.
"Who knows, but it must be nothing good. Anyway, since he is here, we should make the best of it. This is our territory, are we afraid of him!" Bill Gates patted Ballmer on the shoulder, "Don't pay too much attention to him. Anyway, we are waiting for him here."
Ballmer took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.
"Okay, let's wait for him here and see what tricks he wants to play!" Ballmer clenched his fists.
Lin Feng naturally knew all this on his "Wings of Wind".
"Zhiling, I'm afraid the whole world should know by now that I'm going to Microsoft." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Well, boss, how can you not let the whole world know about your high-profile and in such a sensitive period? I think Microsoft must be very nervous now and don't know what you are going to do!" Lin Chiling smiled slightly, with a clear look in her eyes. With unspeakable admiration. This is the man he has chosen. Only a man like himself can affect the people like this with his words and deeds, and the glory of the outside world will be lost because of him.
"Okay, Zhiling, tell the Asian side to start taking action at this time. Let Wu Pace and others prepare to start purchasing grain. This time I want to purchase all the world's grain for the next six months. I want to take a look, Can the Philippines bear the pain of food shortage?" Lin Feng sneered.
"Yes, boss!" Lin Chiling nodded. This is an extremely large-scale operation. Lin Feng will use all 455 billion US dollars to purchase grain, achieving the goal of completely monopolizing grain in the next six months. This is an extremely large and risky move. Once successful, I am afraid that there will be a global food shortage. Of course, those countries with large production will not be in trouble, but those with low production will be in trouble. It will be very difficult for these countries. At that time, only Lin Feng's family can come to buy.
Lin Feng can sell it to other countries at a reasonable price, but in the Philippines, Lin Feng will not sell it to them so easily! What will happen to the Philippines then?
