Chapter 2776

"Microsoft" and "Intel", after a relatively long conference call, reached an agreement to rebuild the "win Tel" alliance and jointly fight against Lin Feng.

"Steve, I have a small request. I hope you can satisfy it!" Just after the negotiation and the verbal agreement were reached, Paul Otellini, President of Intel, was a bit embarrassed.

"Paul, we are partners. If there is anything we can help, we will help!" Steve Ballmer said with a smile.

"Ah, Steve, that's right. We have some g915 motherboards in our warehouse with a large inventory. I hope we can pass the" Vista "certification to help us clear the warehouse. If there is no" Vista "certification, many computer vendors will not take the goods!" Paul Otellini said.

Steve Ballmer had a stiff smile.

"Well, we'll deal with it in a moment. Don't worry, we are partners, we have to help with this little thing! Is there anything else? " Steve Ballmer asked with a smile.

"Oh, no, no, just a little thing. Well, thank you, Steve. Two days later, our company will send someone to Washington to testify against Lin Feng. " Paul Otellini hung up laughing.

Asshole! ＦＣＵＫ！ After hanging up, Steve Ballmer cursed. Damn Intel, damn Paul Otellini, they're looking at the weakness of Microsoft. They're asking for this at this time‘ Strictly speaking, Intel's 915 motherboards don't have enough performance. If you want to run vista, it's much worse. Therefore, in the initial "Vista" certification, "Microsoft" did not pass the 915 motherboard certification at all.

This at least caused the "Intel" tens of millions of 915 motherboards unsalable. When Steve Ballmer first formulated such a strategy, he was ready to clamp down on Intel and ensure Microsoft's absolute leading position - software leads hardware.

But now, "Intel" takes advantage of the war between "Microsoft" and Lin Feng to ask for 915's "Vista" certification, which is too despicable.

Bill Gates is not as angry as Steve Ballmer. When seeking an alliance with Intel, Bill Gates had already guessed that Intel would make such a request. Bill Gates is a technologist. He is very clear about the performance of 915 and the influence of Microsoft system. If Microsoft introduces a new system, but the hardware manufacturer's hardware fails to obtain Microsoft's certification, users will usually directly ignore the hardware. Even if users may not use Microsoft's new system in the next few years, they will also directly ignore the hardware that does not support the new system. This is the influence of Microsoft, and it is also a weakness of human nature - always hoping for the best, regardless of the actual use value.

This is particularly evident in the computer market. The computer market is a very fast market. Moore's Law (Moore predicts that the overall performance of computer hardware will be doubled every 18 months) accurately predicts that the computer industry will be updated round after round. And computer users, always in pursuit of the latest, the best performance. But I don't know, their daily use, simply can't play so strong computer performance, often a lot of computer performance is wasted. In less than 18 months, the performance of computer hardware will double, and the price will drop sharply. The original investment is equal to depreciation.

From the perspective of economic behavior, this is a very stupid behavior. Unfortunately, computer users are happy with it, but they are pursuing better computers and taking more money to buy performance that they can't use. It's stupid, it's stupid, but it happens every year.

"Steve, we'll take it. Anyway, we have no real loss. As long as we can beat Lin Feng's system, we will still have absolute control over the market, which Intel can't avoid. " Bill Gates said.

Steve Ballmer thought and nodded. As long as Microsoft continues to have unparalleled control over the PC operating market, Lin Feng's AMD and Intel are just playthings.

Now, it's just two days before the hearing. Be sure to kill Lin Feng.

At this time, Lin Feng had been staying in the hotel and had a comfortable sleep.

"Hi, Ron, it looks like I'm going to trouble you again these days." Lin Feng gets up and has a nice dinner.

"Ha ha, Lin, it's OK. Anyway, you have to pay a lawyer's fee. We can cooperate with you to become famous, make money and make friends. It's very cost-effective. " Ron laughed.

"By the way, what's going on outside now?" Asked Lin Feng.

Abby Cohen can get the latest news from Wall Street, but the news from the U.S. government departments is that Ron is more knowledgeable.

"Ha ha, at present, the Senate and the house of representatives have formed two rows. The Senate thinks you should be held back to avoid a downturn in the U.S. economy. The house of Representatives, on the other hand, believes that it is entirely up to the market, not the government. Both sides are fighting over your unfair competition act. " Ron said with a laugh.

"What do you think of the dispute?" Lin Feng asked.

"In the current situation, as long as you can survive these seven days, when the market has accepted you, the power of the house of representatives should prevail. But can you survive these seven days? At present, the news on Wall Street is very pessimistic. They think you can't survive these seven days. " Ron said.

The wind of the forest is dignified.

"Lin, in fact, your troubles today have been planted since you and Ellison bought NVIDIA. You already own ATI, and you control NVIDIA in disguise. This is tantamount to monopolizing the graphics card market. At the beginning, these companies didn't make trouble, I'm afraid they were also waiting for the opportunity. Now they have a chance. " Ron said.

Lin Feng nodded. When we bought NVIDIA with Ellison, it was a bit unexpected. Lin Feng thought that the outside world would be unanimously opposed, and the US Department of Commerce would even stop the acquisition. In view of that situation, Lin Feng had already figured out the countermeasures at that time, and let Ellison's company take over wholly-owned shares, so it was the same for him to control "NVIDIA" through Ellison's company. Anyway, Ellison's control over Oracle is similar to his control over the second world.

Think about it. Who is the highest paid CEO in the world every year? Lauren Ellison, the CEO, founder and chairman of Oracle, earns more than $100 million a year. And then plus a dividend on his shares. This is very rare in all companies. For example, Larry Page, the founder of Google, is paid only $1. Jobs is not paid at all. He is only paid share dividends. Bill Gates is also paid a nominal salary.

These founders are in the company and hardly get paid. Only Ellison, with the highest salary in history. This not only shows that Ellison is very smart and even a little greedy, but also proves that Ellison has control over oracle.

However, the acquisition of "NVIDIA" was not blocked, which made all preparations for Lin Feng empty. At that time, Lin Feng was still thinking that this was probably because Huang Renxun, the chairman of NVIDIA, was a Chinese, and Ellison came forward to lead the acquisition, and the outside world could not oppose it. Unexpectedly, it's not that the outside world can't object, but it's waiting for an opportunity. Because the original opposition can't do any harm to us. The chairman of a company is a Chinese American, a Jewish American super rich man. The opposition from the outside world can not change the direction of things. As a result, now I come out and give myself a fatal blow. It's really powerful.

"Ron, what do you say if I lose this time?" Asked Lin Feng.

"I can't give you an answer because I don't know business. But from a legal point of view, your company will definitely split into two, separating your "software" and "hardware". It seems that everything is still under your control, but if one company becomes two companies, it will be much worse in terms of human resource investment, market sensitivity and emergency response. And it will give the outside world a lot of holes. Lin, you really need to be prepared in advance. I can only do my best, but I can't guarantee anything. " Ron looked so serious for the first time.

Lin Feng nodded. Turning around, Lin Feng calls Abby Cohen for consultation.

"Lin, I just got the news from Wall Street. It's said that Intel is ready to sue you two days later, accusing your amd of unfair competition in the sales process, using its monopoly position in the graphics card market to force the computer companies to buy amd chips." Another bad news from Abby Cohen.

"If so, what will happen?" Asked Lin Feng.

"If so, your company is likely to split into three instead of two. First of all, your "second world" will be divided into software companies and hardware companies, and the hardware companies will be forced to separate the "amd" chip company from the "ATI" graphics card company. Then your company will fall apart. This not only takes a lot of time to integrate, but also will lose a lot of market share in a short time. Of course, this is still a small matter. I am worried that these companies will be swallowed by those financial giants. If three companies are one, your influence is enough to keep the employees of the company from changing and the outside world from interfering. But if your company is divided into three parts, I'm afraid many people will have different ideas. This is the time when people are most lax. Once some rumors are spread by the outside world and some tycoons are making money attacks, it is difficult to guarantee that many shareholders of the company will not sell their shares. " Abby Cohen's calm analysis.

"Of course, at present, you still own 36.9% of the company's shares (32% on the surface, Abby Cohen has acquired 4.9% in the market, and you have to report to the SFC when it reaches 5%). With the shares of Li Zekai, you still have almost absolute control. But Lin, sometimes shares don't mean anything. If all the employees resign, your shares are meaningless! And this kind of thing has happened many times in the annexation cases in the history of Wall Street. " Abby Cohen said.

When some tycoons want to buy some companies that are demoralized, but the company's major shareholders refuse to sell their shares, they want to buy off their employees in advance and let them resign collectively. Once these employees resign collectively, even if you own more shares, it's useless. If you insist on not selling, you will only have an empty shell. Not only will the stock price fall through, but also the market share will be lost. At that time, the other party can take this opportunity to rebuild a Shanzhai company and produce your products in a new way. Therefore, most companies can only choose to sell shares to cash out.

After all, if you can recover a little loss, it's always a little loss.

Lin Feng frowned. Is it so serious?

"Lin, it's really dangerous this time‘ The alliance between Microsoft and Intel, you must be ready to break your guard. I suggest that the software department of "second world" must be preserved, which cannot be allowed. In the hardware sector, "amd" and "ATI", I suggest abandoning "amd" instead of "ATI." Abby Cohen suggested.

"Abandon ATI?" Lin Feng was surprised. According to common sense, we should abandon "ATI" instead of "amd", the core processor of the computer.

Lin, "ATI" doesn't seem to be critical, but it's actually very important. It's the most critical part of the future display system. If you clearly control ATI, then sell all the shares of NVIDIA to Ellison, and then sell AMD, then the outside world will not pursue you. At that time, you still control the core area of computer and have a monopoly on it. The reason why you sell AMD is not only to dispel the suspicion of the outside world, but also to destroy the alliance between Microsoft and Intel. As long as their alliance is broken, they will become enemies. You can try to recycle AMD in the future. " Abby Cohen said.

Lin Feng nodded. It's a good strategy. It's tragic, but it's also poisonous. Solemn and stirring of their own wrist, and then to recruit Snipes and clams to fight, they can sit behind the mountain view tiger fight.

However, this is not Lin Feng's choice.

"Abby, your proposal is very good, but you should know my choice." Lin fengxiao said.

Abby Cohen sighed. She has been working with Lin Feng for so long. How can she not know Lin Feng's personality.

"Lin, you still won't give up! I hope you can make a miracle Abby Cohen knew that Lin Feng would never sell "amd" because it was related to Lin Feng's entire empire. However, Abby Cohen can't figure out how Lin Feng can fight back in this desperate situation（ It's not finished yet. If you like this work, you are welcome to start (Qidian.
