Chapter 647 Motorola, I'm Ready (4k)

Sunset, 1 Observatory Ring Road.

In a simple mansion with two floors and an attic, Cook walked down the steps quickly with a gloomy face.

"Tim, say hello to Steve for me!"

Standing on the wrap-around porch, Lu Fei waved to him with a victorious smile on his face.

"Lu, thank you for your concession."

Bill Gates laughed from behind.

Beside him, followed closely by the smiling Bai Dengqiao.

"Do you know why I agreed to back down?"

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth curled up, "Just so that you can help me like this in the future, we are friends, right?"

"Of course."

Bill Gates showed a shrewd smile, "You are one of my best friends. If possible, I even want you to be my child's godfather."

"It's a pity that none of us are Italian, and I'm not Victor Corleone." Lu Fei turned his attention to Baidengqiao, who was easily overlooked, after all, his identity was quite embarrassing.

Anyone who has watched "House of Cards" knows that it is a mascot to put it bluntly.

"Haha, I think you are more like Michael Corleone."

Bai Dengqiao showed a cunning and cunning smile.

During the entire mediation process just now, Master Lu showed a kind of respect and care for the elderly with Alzheimer's disease, which warmed his heart.

"But you wouldn't be Councilor Gray, would you?"

Lu Fei cast a meaningful look.

"It goes without saying."

Bai Dengqiao smiled knowingly. From the Three Body Fund, he deeply felt the sincerity and benefits of Master Lu in making friends.

"Say hello to Lucian and Hillary for me too."

Lu Fei shook hands with the two of them, then got into the car, drove out of the observatory, and had already called Schmidt.

The negotiation was naturally a big victory, but some concessions were made.

First, ensure that more than 6000 patents of Nortel Networks are only self-defense and will not be used as attack weapons for patent infringement.

Second, help Apple stabilize its stock price.

Third, Apple can withdraw its complaints against HTC, Samsung, and Motorola, but in exchange, it must sell or authorize some patents from Nortel Networks, especially wireless communications and data networks, to a consortium headed by Apple...

"What patent? How much do they want?"

Schmidt frowned.

"It's related to wireless communication."

Lu Fei disagreed, "But I didn't specify how much to give. We can mix and sell irrelevant patents together. Of 100 patents, 20 are useful and 80 are useless. You also know that some patents of Nortel Networks are difficult to satisfy. Our needs for patent licensing transactions, it doesn’t hurt to sell them to Apple.”

"But Lu, have you ever thought about..."

"what?"

"We don't have many patent databases, including Nortel Networks, there are only more than 7000 patents."

Schmidt said helplessly: "Although Apple's lawsuit has been resolved, Oracle, Nokia, and even Microsoft may bite us back. Without enough patents, Android will lose its ability to continue to compete with Apple and Microsoft."

"Didn't we provide a solution? Google can buy more than 1000 patents from InterDigital."

Lu Fei took out a cigar from the box.

"Not enough, not enough at all, we need more patents to arm the Android system and strengthen the competitive advantage of Android devices!"

Schmidt said plausibly.

"Eric, why didn't you say it earlier? In fact, we still have a plan, but the amount is not small."

"Money is not a problem, the key is to have enough patents!"

"What do you think of Motorola Mobility?"

"Motorola is the right fit."

Schmidt was surprised at first, and pondered for a moment, "There are more than 2 patents in total, but the price is too expensive, at least 110 billion US dollars, but if Logic is willing to bear half of it..."

"I'd like to, but will the Justice Department agree?"

"Will the Trade Commission agree?"

"Do you think we'll get involved?"

Lu Fei curled his lips. The Nortel network in Canada alone is already facing many difficulties. He also needs to form a consortium, clear up relationships, and consume "points". The plan almost died.

Motorola, as a local giant in the United States, how could it allow Logic, a Chinese company, to get involved!Not listed yet!

"makes sense."

Schmidt sighed, "But Motorola is too expensive, equivalent to one-third of Google's cash reserves, even if Larry and Brin agree, it is impossible to pass it on the board of directors."

"Wrong, Eric, you are so wrong!"

"I was wrong?"

"Wrong! In fact, Motorola is not expensive at all. We have investigated it a long time ago and settled the account."

With a cigar in his mouth, Lu Fei counted them one by one.

Not to mention that Motorola has more than 2 patents. The factories in Brazil and China alone are worth at least 1.5 million U.S. dollars. There is also a set-top box business that can cash out 24 billion U.S. dollars.

With these two transactions, about US$25 billion can be recovered, and with the cash reserve of more than US$30 billion, the cost of almost US$55 billion has been recovered.

"That is to say, Google spent 55 billion dollars to buy 17000 patents and 27.5 to pending patent applications. The average patent is dollars?!"

Schmidt's eyes lit up instantly.

"Not only that, you can also sell the Motorola business unit and useless patents to other companies."

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth rose, "IBM sold an empty shell of the PC department to Lianxiang, and they can cash out 12.5 billion US dollars. How can Motorola double it, more than 25 billion US dollars?"

"No, no, Lu, if we can really acquire Motorola Mobility, we won't consider selling the mobile phone business for the time being."

Schmidt's heart pounded when he heard this.

In fact, seeing that Logic, Samsung, and HTC are making a lot of money from Android smartphones, Google has long thought of building mobile phones by itself, just as Motorola's brand is loud enough.

"You don't have to worry about money. Although logic cannot directly intervene, the three-body problem can indirectly assist Google."

Lu Fei set out his own conditions.

Motorola's patents will be transferred to their joint venture Android, and Logic has permanent free use rights, and it will also be open to other members of the Android camp, with preferential discounts on authorization.

"There is no problem with this, but will Motorola agree?" Schmidt's excited tone contained a hint of doubt.

"Have you forgotten, I am the majority shareholder of Motorola."

Lu Fei took a breath. The reason why he was not afraid of Google acquiring Motorola Mobile behind his back was that he was confident that without his own logic and logic, this deal would never be possible, and only he could make it happen.

"But Lu, you don't have a board seat."

Schmidt was surprised, co-authoring your shareholding is entering the inside!

"I really haven't, but don't forget Carl Icahn, he is now the general manager of Motorola's spin-off and reorganization, you don't know what kind of person he is, right? As long as the conditions are in place, there are no high-quality assets He dare not sell it."

Lu Fei smiled and said: "I can give him an undeniable condition. Even if he can't directly agree to sell it to us, at least it can help me win a board seat. When the time comes, as long as the proposal is on the board of directors, do you still worry about the proposal not passing?"

"hiss!"

Schmidt suddenly shuddered.

Through the phone, you can feel the Yin Qi of Master Lu, a lyb, he is a demon who cannibalize people without spitting out his bones!

Motorola is a bloody bad luck!
Introducing Carl Icahn, the wolf king of Wall Street, on the front foot, and introducing Master Lu, who is better than blue and better than blue, on the back foot, what a crime!
But he only sympathized with Motorola for a second, and immediately joined forces with Master Lu. After all, Google's acquisition of Motorola can combine software and hardware, and get a share of the mobile terminal market.

Even in the worst case, if the business collapses, the entire business department can be packaged up and sold at a high cost, no matter what——

This deal is definitely a bargain!
After weighing the pros and cons, he resolutely agreed: "I can convince the board of directors, as for Motorola..."

"I'll help you connect with Icahn."

Lu Fei hung up the phone and pouted.

If it weren't for the permission of the United States, why bother to use the routine of buying overseas rare earth resources through a backdoor doll, and borrow the hands of Google to feed Motorola's fat into the stomach.

With Motorola's patents, plus existing patents such as Nortel Networks, the total number has exceeded 2.5.

Enough to form a comprehensive three-dimensional patent defense system.

Not to mention Apple, Nokia can't even target it!
Now there is only one problem,
Who is Motorola's empty shell sold (pit)?

…………

Two days later, the Justice Department announced with great efficiency:

"The department's investigation focuses on whether the acquirer will use these patents to attack competitors and curb competition."

"After an in-depth review, it is believed that the acquisition of Nortel Networks is unlikely to significantly curb market competition, so it is decided to end the investigation of the logic, Google and other consortia."

"Officially approve the acquisition of multiple patents of Nortel Networks by a consortium formed by Logic, Google, Microsoft, and Motorola!"

As soon as the news came out, the whole United States was in an uproar.

The peers, the media and the public who watched the show were all dumbfounded.

It's like when Musk made an appointment with Zuckerberg, and the audience had already moved tables, chairs, benches and popcorn, and suddenly announced that they would not fight.

The three giants of Apple, Intel, and Ericsson are fighting against the five giants of Google, Microsoft, Logic, Motorola, and Huawei.

greatly awaited!

The NBA is not so exciting, and this is the result?

Boring, we want to see blood flow!
But it doesn't look like a lot of fun, but according to gossip rumors——

Due to successive failures, Jobs' condition deteriorated and he was urgently sent to the ICU for rescue. Although he and Apple responded immediately to clarify the rumors, the stock price still fell in response.

Master Lu also kept his promise and continued to invest heavily in Apple.

Losers such as Intel and Ericsson were not so lucky. They were more or less implicated, and their stock prices fell.

On Google's side, not only companies that directly acquired Nortel Networks' patents all soared, but all members of the Android camp, and even Sony, which just joined, saw their stock prices fluttering green, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

Seeing that Android is getting bigger, manufacturers such as LG, Toshiba, Sharp, and Pantech are all considering, should they learn from Sony to abandon the dark and turn to the bright?
When the whole world is amazed that Mr. Lu has withstood the pressure of the United States and really acquired Nortel Networks, the country has already exploded.

The self-media didn't even follow the procedure, just blow it up!

#北电网络支持收货确件# not only became the number one topic on Weibo, but also the comment section fell into a carnival.

【Lu Fei, God forever! 】

[Why am I a fan of logic?Maybe, this is the answer]

[Eliminate the copycat phones of parents, replace them with two logic phones, and wait for the latest model of this year! 】

[I have become the shape of a logical family bucket]

[Lianxiang’s ten years is not as good as Huawei’s and Logic’s one year. Both are developed by Huaxia. Why is the difference so huge? 】

【You would rather believe that Lianxiang has technological content than believe that I am Qin Shihuang】

【………】

It’s not too big of a deal for netizens to join in the fun. They keep @lianxiang on the official accounts of these companies, but none of them respond.

Right now, Lianxiang is too busy to take care of himself.

The company was in turmoil due to foreign executives' fidgeting and indigestion in IBM's PC division.

Liu Chuanzhi had no choice but to come out of the mountain again, put on his armor and took command, cut through the mess quickly, and finally stopped the tendency of falling off a cliff.

The next step is to find a way to turn losses into profits.

"Willow and sheep match" is amazing!

It also stabilized Yang Yuanqing's precarious seat. He had just recovered and took a breath when he saw the news about Lu Fei and Logic pouring in, which was very unpleasant.

"Successful again? He actually succeeded again?"

His eyes were lost, "Why should I say 'again'."

"Yuanqing, don't envy him. Young people are full of vigor. The higher you hold, the worse it will be when you fall." Liu Chuanzhi said solemnly, "We are upright and amazing. In the high-tech road, we should take a good look at the terrain before we go. do something."

"President Liu, what do you mean?"

Yang Yuanqing cast a curious look.

"It seems that smartphones must be developed, and it cannot be done without!"

Liu Chuanzhi's tone was firm.

"Mr. Liu, you want Lianxiang to enter the smart phone?"

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Lianxiang's mobile phone business has been half-dead since it was overwhelmed by counterfeit phones. The domestic market share is not even a fraction of the first echelon of Logic, Nokia, and Samsung, and the second echelon of Shenzhou and Tianyu.

"I didn't do it on a whim."

Liu Chuanzhi said earnestly: "I have been reviewing games since I retired. When did Lianxiang start to be separated by logic? There is only one final answer, which is to start with logicX, and start with Lu Fei, the little bastard's stud mobile phone. He hit the explosion of smart phones, and the logic realized that we overtook us in a corner, and we missed the new outlet."

"You are absolutely right. PCs are already a sunset industry, and smartphones are a sunrise industry. We should immediately invest heavily in the mobile phone business and catch up!"

Yang Yuanqing adjusted his glasses.

"I have already thought about it. We can find investors led by Hongyi Fund to repurchase all the rights and interests of Lianxiang Mobile, and then concentrate our efforts to attack the blue ocean smartphone market."

There was an intriguing smile on the corner of Liu Chuanzhi's mouth.

"Hongyi Fund?"

Yang Yuanqing is agitated, it's not yours...

Left handed and right handed, playing this trick again?
"I've already thought about the name of the phone, it's called 'Lephone'!" Liu Chuanzhi stretched out two fingers, explaining his intention.

"乐" is "le", which is the two letters at the beginning of Lianxiang's English brand, and it has an extra e than the logical "lphone".

E, homophonic is to win!

Lianxiang is going to win Logic hard!
"What a broken name, it sounds like the name of a counterfeit phone."

Yang Yuanqing complained in a low voice.

"Yuanqing, what are you mumbling about?"

"Oh, let me tell you, Mr. Liu, thank you!"

"Wait for Lephone to make its mobile phone business bigger and stronger, make Lianxiang the top three in the country, and then go overseas. We will not only fight against logic in China, but also in foreign countries."

Liu Chuanzhi touched his chin, "However, Lianxiang alone is not enough. It is best to acquire an international brand and form a strong alliance."

"Mr. Liu, I think maybe 'buy, buy, buy' is not suitable for the current Lianxiang. The acquisition of IBM's PC department is not just..."

Yang Yuanqing was shocked and kindly reminded.

"Yuanqing, you are wrong! There is nothing wrong with 'buy buy buy'!"

"Look at that little bastard Lu Fei is also shopping all over the world! Qimonda, Nortel Networks, Transmeta..."

Liu Chuanzhi's eyes widened, "Our mistake is that we bought the wrong one. What if we didn't buy IBM at the beginning? What if Lianxiang's mobile phone business can buy Motorola? Would it still be wrong?"

"You can't go wrong when you buy Motorola."

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help complaining, but why did Motorola sell the mobile phone business to Lianxiang?Does he love us?
"I still say the same thing, technology, industry and trade are not suitable for Lianxiang!"

"We must adhere to the line of 'trade industry buys technology'. We will never build what we can buy, and buy better ones if we can build it. Although the logic is ahead for a while, it doesn't matter, we will definitely catch up!"

"In the end, the shipments of smart terminals surpassed that of Logic and Apple, and from the world's largest PC company to the world's largest smart terminal company, this is my goal!"

"It's also your goal! Lianxiang's goal!"

Liu Chuanzhi patted the table with a green light in his eyes.

　Thanks to Princess Sissy for the 500 starting coins and the 200 starting coins for her ancestral home in Xingyang.
