Chapter 834 Very American style
Ballmer listened to the silence in his words and the deep enthusiasm that came to his face, and he really wanted him to ask, don't you know who Rubin's words were targeting?
Don’t you know what Rubin’s words that stir up the wind and rain will make us feel?
We were just cursed by you in front of the whole world. Maybe you can think that it doesn’t exist, but this way, is it a bit difficult for us to think that it doesn’t exist?
"Feng, I don't really understand what you mean," he said.
He believed that everyone could hear what he meant.
But Feng Yiping couldn't seem to hear it, "It's just acquiring Nortel patent, Ballmer, don't tell me that you are not interested in this,"
At this time, Ballmer had hundreds of grass and mud horses galloping past his mind. Why did you still blame us as you said this?
How can I make sense?
But what he said was, "Oh, is Nortel's patent? Of course we are interested,"
"But Feng, frankly, I'm really not sure about working with you," he didn't know why he could laugh at such a time. "After all, the last time we cooperated, the bidding failed in the end."
"The last time I cooperated, I failed in the end?" Feng Yiping looked like he couldn't understand at all.
Ballmer really wanted to say to him immediately, just pretend, kid, and pretend hard!
"Balmer, I don't quite understand what you mean,"
While Ballmer was unable to complain, he also thought, why did this sound so familiar? Oh, I said it to him just now.
At this time, there was also "Oh", "Oh, Ballmer," Feng Yiping laughed.
Compared with Ballmer's hard laugh just now, Feng Yiping's smile was very full, just like the peach blossoms that completely bloomed after the rain. Every petal was so rich, "You said, could it be that we were bidding for Yahoo together?"
Ballmer said in his heart, what am I talking about? You really don’t know what you are saying?
"Balmer," the mood over there went on, "Did you always think that I finally let you give up Yahoo, which is a huge failure?"
"I said, man, now you go out and stop someone on the street and ask, or even don't go in Silicon Valley, but go to a street where there is a flashy but no substance like Hollywood, stop someone on someone. Who would think that when we gave up Yahoo, that was a failure?"
"As long as he knows what Yahoo is, he will definitely be glad for us. Our luck is really great and avoids the unprecedented pit in the world of Yahoo."
"Balmer, don't tell me, you don't know what Yahoo is doing now. Do you think it's worth $10 billion now?"
Ballmer suddenly felt that he was making a mistake. The last cooperation was equivalent to letting Feng Yiping take the initiative.
Yahoo now can be said to be the most successful person in the collection of all failures. This is not, nor is that.
Although they have made a lot of efforts, the ending is that in the original field of search and online advertising, their foundation has been almost lost - the one who is the most ruthless in Yahoo is his Microsoft.
In other aspects, whether it is the social, e-commerce, or online video field mentioned by Masayoshi Son, including the following trends that they were obviously in a hurry to seek medical treatment, hoping to make a breakthrough, hoping that investors can see the achievements of cloud computing field, and the areas where they did not care about decent hard follow-up, group buying, comments, etc., no matter what kind of bold words they had at the beginning and how many resources they used, in the end, there was only one result without exception, and there was no inch of progress!
Ballmer wanted to say, have we not rejected your rights yet?
"Balmer, don't you want to reduce the patent burden in the entire industry, but you really want to acquire more and more patents and suppress other companies as others say?"
This...this is simply...
Ballmer was really hard to say something to refuse, "Of course not, Feng, of course not, we have always hoped to reduce the patent burden of the entire industry,"
Can I still say that I can't?
"I personally really hope to cooperate with you. But I have to ask everyone for advice. Is this OK? I will tell you our decision as soon as possible."
There was a long "Oh" sound over there, "That's OK,"
Powell was a little confused when he heard the "beep" sound from the phone. Can anyone tell me what happened?
He looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, shook his head, and called his former old rival, an ally in some fields, Apple's Cook, "Tim, have Feng contacted you and hoped to bid for Nortel's patent with you?"
He heard Cook's surprise, "No, did he suggest this to you?"
Ballmer didn't think that he had leaked anything on his own initiative. Such things could never be hidden. "He contacted me just now and warmly invited us to work together," - no matter what, he and Microsoft are very happy to be able to insert some nails between Feng Yiping and Apple.
Cook also smiled, "After Rubin just targeted us, he enthusiastically invited you to join forces. Ballmer, do you think, Feng, he is... much more mature now?"
After Cook said this, Ballmer immediately understood, yes, Feng Yiping's trick was just attacking you hard, and then he smiled and talked about friendship, cooperation, protection of the environment, and world peace with you like a person... This is really too American!
From this perspective, isn’t he much “mature”?
But what he didn't know was that Feng Yiping was not "mature".
Two days later, when he told Feng Yiping that after weighing the trade-offs, they hoped to join forces with him again, that night, Bloomberg broke another news that Android plans to acquire Motorola for US$12 billion!
