Chapter 3100 Conditions Microsoft Had to Accept

w "Lin Feng, why are you here!" Ballmer suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Feng, his face ashen.

Lin Feng is actually here, so 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 and left.

"Ballmer, aren't you afraid that I will reveal that the core business of 'Female A' is still in my hands?" Ellison said with a smile.

Ballmer struggled to turn his head, confused and angry, "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 people, it's best to cooperate!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Ballmer was unhappy with the remark, which was too harsh. But Lin Feng was telling the truth. ‘Microsoft’ made one mistake and one mistake after another. If 'Microsoft' had not thought about acquiring 'Female A' and dealt a heavy blow to Lin Feng, it would not have fallen into the trap of Lin Feng and Ellison in a hurry, and it would not have 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 acquires an empty shell of 'Female A' for US$1.05 billion!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Ballmer's face darkened. Both choices are terrible, admitting that the 'Pangu System' is good. That would be equivalent to giving up half of the operating system market, which is absolutely impossible. But if you don't agree, then once it is announced that 'Microsoft' has spent a lot of money to just buy an empty shell. That turned out badly too. Not only will the stock price of "Microsoft" plummet again, but Lin Feng's "Pangu System" will also be recognized by the market.

Ballmer didn't want to choose either option. But just like Lin Feng said. ‘Microsoft’ has no choice now!

"I need to think about this carefully." Ballmer said solemnly, "I will give you an answer within three days!"

After saying that, Ballmer turned around and left without stopping at all, taking 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 'Female A' from you.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, "Other than that, he has no other choice." "

"But it's the core business of 'Female A'. No one can take it away, 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 will step on 'Microsoft' first!"

Lin Feng nodded. Regarding the relationship between Ellison and Jobs, Lin Feng had not expected this before. As for financial assistance this time, Lin Feng has never made up his mind and has not found a suitable candidate. Unexpectedly, Ellison solved it himself. He found Steve Jobs of Apple, and Steve Jobs was actually willing to help Ellison. However, Jobs's personal assets are only 8.1 billion US dollars, which cannot help Ellison overcome the current difficulties. Therefore, it can only be solved with cash from Apple.

"It seems that I should thank Steve Jobs. Without him, this time would really be a bit troublesome!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice. Without the emergence of Jobs, Lin Feng would have to use the funds of those coal bosses to assist Ellison, and then he would not be able 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 so friendly, and the two sides were fierce rivals.

"Haha, go, why don't you 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. "It's okay to have 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 Jobs in a coffee shop that was extremely simple in decoration, but extremely 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 also 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! Lin Feng's eyes flashed, this Jobs was still so confident and aggressive, making it a bit difficult to resist. However, Lin Feng really wanted to deal with such a person, because this kind of person is full of enterprising spirit. When you stay with such a person, you are always full of fighting spirit.

People need fighting spirit, otherwise they will be like a pool of mud, living like maggots, and such a life is like white wax.

"I also return this to you. Jobs, in the mobile phone market, I will definitely beat your 'i...' mobile phone!" Lin Feng almost blurted out 'ne' directly.

i... Jobs frowned, what did Lin Feng want to say? The name of the mobile phone? i... What? ne? This name seems to be interesting. Jobs smiled in his heart. The 'd' launched by 'Apple' now, and the highly successful '', both have an 'i' in front. So the first letter of this mobile phone that is about to be launched to change the era is also called 'i', which is very interesting, not bad, not bad! Jobs was still struggling with what name to choose these days. Lin Feng's reminder was a small problem for him.

When Lin Feng saw Jobs' smile, he knew that he had helped Jobs solve a small problem. Helping the enemy solve the problem is not a pleasant experience. However, even if Lin Feng did not remind him, I believe Jobs would have thought of this matter, because this is the development trajectory of history, and it is not something he can interfere with. Unless Lin Feng registered a similar trademark before Jobs launched "d", then Jobs would not use it. With Jobs's perfect requirements, if he registered a similar one, Jobs would never use it again.

As for why "Apple" products have to add "i", there are several explanations. One is that "i" means me, that is, my mobile phone, my computer. Another is that the first syllable of the English pronunciation of "i" and "apple" is the same, which means that this is an Apple product. Another explanation is that it is the abbreviation of "idea". "Apple" is a very creative company, and "Apple" has been changing the world.

So what should I name my phone that is about to change the world? Lin Feng had a headache.

Ellison watched Lin Feng and Jobs bickering from the sidelines, and he was happy. If it was someone else, seeing their friends bickering like this, they would be really anxious and would definitely hope to resolve it. But Ellison would not. He could see that although the two of them were fighting fiercely, they were only doing business, not the kind of life-and-death struggle of personal grudges. Ellison would not intervene in this kind of business competition. Not only would he not intervene, but he was happy that the two of them were doing so. You know, on the road to progress, in addition to sincere friends, you also need a qualified competitor. Obviously, Lin Feng and Jobs are each other's most suitable opponents.

"By the way, Larry, are you sure that you can reach a turnover of 25 billion US dollars in five years?" After Jobs determined the name of the new mobile phone, he gathered his thoughts and asked.

Regarding this bet clause, it was the result of Jobs and the major shareholders of Apple, and it was a result that could not be changed. Originally, Jobs really wanted to help Ellison, but he had no money and could only use the power of the company. Although Apple was founded by Jobs, he, as the founder, does not have absolute say in the company. Otherwise, he would not have been driven out by Apple's shareholders, and Jobs was not invited back until Apple encountered a crisis.

The bet agreement is a necessary condition proposed by Apple's major shareholders. And this condition is given because of Jobs's indispensable position in Apple. If this had happened before, before Apple encountered a crisis, I'm afraid that if Jobs had proposed this intention, he would have been immediately driven away by those blind shareholders.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Hehe, I'm sure to win this time. Humph, IBM, SPA, I'll make them spit out all the markets they have encroached on!" Ellison snorted coldly.

"By the way, Jobs, your control over Apple is too weak. Look at me, and then look at Lin. We both have absolute control over the company. As a founder, you could be driven away by shareholders at any time. This is too unreliable. I say, you should find ways to keep the company firmly in your hands." Ellison persuaded.

Jobs shrugged. This was not the first time he had heard Ellison's words. But Jobs never cared much. He believed that as long as he could lead the company forward, the company's shareholders would not let him leave. He used this to sharpen himself, motivate himself, and whip himself.

"By the way, Lin, I want to meet you today for two purposes. One is to have a fight, and the other is to form an alliance. I won't talk about the fight, but are you interested in forming an alliance?" Jobs' eyes shone. (To be continued...)m
