Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Lu Fei temporarily changed his itinerary and did not fly separately with the penguin army. When he got off the airport, there was a group of people with different skin colors standing at the exit station, holding pick-up signs in their hands.
In a series of English, the Chinese is obvious——
[Warmly welcome, Mr. Lu is here]
Guo Xing was with Zhang Tianmei and Wang Pu. He said hello and led his boss to the car.
"This is a Samsung copycat product."
Lu Fei took out an MP3 player named Samsung YP-Z1 from his pocket and handed it over.
"Fuck, they're exactly the same."
Guo Xing's eyes widened and he said in a serious tone, "Mr. Lu, we must sue Samsung for infringement."
“I’ve sent a lawyer’s letter to Samsung, please be polite first and then fight.”
Lu Fei touched his chin, "We have applied for patent protection in China, so there is no big problem. Now we have to make preparations in Europe and the United States, on one side to defend and on the other side to attack."
"Attack? Mr. Lu, Samsung is attacking now."
Guo Xing's face was full of doubts and astonishment.
"If you don't know anything about logic, you know how to attack!"
Lu Fei took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and said, "Rely on the law and defense. Losing will happen sooner or later. We must defeat the strong with the weak. Only by taking the initiative to attack can we have a chance of victory."
Guo Xing couldn't help but wonder, how could he attack if he didn't have any cards?
"Let's talk until we get to the company. Has Goodman called?"
Lu Fei smiled and patted his thigh, pretending to be nonchalant, but the iconic smile on his lips made the nervous people feel at ease instantly.
After a while, the group arrived at Logic's North American branch. Goodman and other legal teams were all in place and held a small meeting in the conference room.
"If the logic is that it is a US company or a US-related company, it can be easily handled. All you have to do is appeal to the ITC (International Trade Commission) and apply for an exclusion order."
Goodman rubbed his hands, "Once issued, the products involved will not be allowed to enter the United States regardless of their source, origin, importer, or seller, and this is not limited to the companies involved in the investigation."
Guo Xing rolled his eyes, "Logic will not consider introducing foreign capital, including American capital, for the time being."
"That's a shame." Goodman shrugged.
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, "The exclusion order for Samsung, even if the logic is that it is a US-related company, can it be issued so easily?"
“General exclusion orders are difficult, but limited ones are not.”
Goodman smiled and said: "I can't say one or two years, but it's okay to limit it to half a year or a few months. As you said, electronic products are updated so quickly. This YP-Z1 was garbage at that time."
It's a card!
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "What if it's an apple?"
Goodman said with a smile: "If you copy Apple, things will be easy! As long as there are enough materials, it will take at least three months."
Guo Xing was a little confused. He just sued Apple for infringement some time ago, and now he asked Apple to help sue Samsung for infringement. Why is it so awkward?
"I made a little deal with Steve Jobs."
Lu Fei crossed his arms and logically formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Apple and would never allow third-party MP3 and digital music stores to appear.
If I don’t have any cards, the cards of my allies are my cards.
"If Spotify only allows logical mp3 connections, and Samsung's products are not compatible with the Spotify client, is this considered a violation of monopoly laws?"
"Of course, without a doubt!"
Goodman grinned: "But if we can only exclude Samsung and not ban Apple's other friends, then that's not the case."
Great job, Mr. Lu!
Guo Xing couldn't help but want to knock on the desktop, Samsung's logic hardware neck was stuck, but the logic went in the opposite direction, Samsung's software neck was stuck.
In the European and American digital music market, Spotify and Apple are the two dominant players. They both joined forces to boycott. Where can Samsung find music sources?
Dare to use pirated copies? Aren’t you afraid of angering the five major record companies?
"The united front is our magic weapon to win."
Lu Fei grinned. He thought about it for 9 days and 9 nights. It was not in vain, but he just couldn't figure it out. Just like Ah San wants to mess with us, I don't understand why Samsung wants to mess with me?
Do you really think I'm a gambling sage? I can't draw my trump card?
"Mr. Lu, shall we start the attack now?" Guo Xing couldn't hold himself back and said.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Fei sniffed the cigarette but did not smoke it. "Now that YP-Z1 has been put on the shelves of supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart and Costco, is it possible..."
Goodman shook his head and said, "Not until we get a limited exclusion order!"
“What about online, like Amazon?”
Lu Fei held a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with the fire of a lighter.
Goodman was startled, why the hell do you have so many allies?
"No permanent friends, only permanent interests."
Lu Fei blew out several smoke rings, and the smoke filled the air.
………………
Amazon owns numerous high-rise buildings in Seattle's downtown and South Lake Union neighborhoods.
The iconic building is called "DayOne". There are "DayOne" signs everywhere in the building, and there are various interpretations——
It’s our first day, it’s Amazon’s first day.
Zhang Tianmei sent a visit message on behalf of Lu Fei, and Amazon responded almost instantly. Bezos took the time to look forward to it.
The reception was not small, and he sent his shadow adviser and the most promising second-generation successor, Andy Jassy.
"Lu, nice to meet you."
"Me too." Lu Fei shook hands with him.
"Jeff is already waiting for you in the office."
Andy Jassy led the way, introducing casually as he walked.
Lu Fei looked around like a curious baby, and then he was taken to the CEO's office. There was a faint roar coming from the door.
"Fuxk! Are you lazy or just a waste?"
"You forgot to take the medicine for stupidity today!" New
"Let me hear such an idea again, -->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again! 】
I can commit suicide..."
Workplace pua, have fun.
Lu Fei pretended not to hear, his eyes looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart.
Andy Jassy's knock on the door brought an abrupt end to the insults in the back room, and then a group of people walked out dejectedly, whether they were men or women, with tears in their eyes and crying.
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows. As soon as he stepped in, he looked around and saw absolutely no modern furniture, desks or even an abandoned door in the huge space.
One word, dig.
Two words, stingy.
Three words, Grandet.
He is just such an old man, with his front legs still flammable and explosive, but his back legs with a kind-hearted look and a smile on his face, "Hey, Lu, welcome!"
"Hello, Jeff."
Lu Fei twitched the corner of his mouth and showed his full acting skills, controlling his facial expressions and acting according to the situation.
"I really wanted to meet you after reading your book The World Is Flat, which is such a great book."
Bezos smiled and said: "You are simply a prophet, predicting that real estate will rise, predicting that subprime mortgages will activate finance, predicting that Amazon will go to glory..."
"No, I only made some predictions about Amazon, based on my many years of experience in online shopping websites."
Lu Fei was so excited that he gave the credit to Friedman, especially subprime mortgages and p2p. This is not a good idea, book friends!
I just added a brick to the subprime mortgage crisis.
"I know that the media often compares us to Feigou.com in the West and Amazon in the East."
Bezos smiled appreciatively and invited him to sit down.
“Is there a land in the west and a Bezos in the east?”
Lu Fei was sitting on a second-hand sofa. The leather was rough and the surface was a little cracked. What he drank was not to mention coffee or a glass of ice water.
How could you be so stingy!
"Haha, yes."
Bezos smiled and talked about his entrepreneurial experience, starting from the beginning.
Amazon initially had two directions, books and audio-visuals, but eventually decided to sell books first because it was suitable for online display and became the target of imitation by Dangdang and Zhuoyiyitiao.
"What a coincidence, I chose audio and video, so I also created logic."
Lu Fei gave a brief summary, with reservations.
The two of them crossed their legs and shared their entrepreneurial journeys with each other. If they had their own difficulties, they asked each other for suggestions and considered them carefully.
"I almost forgot, this is for you."
Lu Fei handed over the unopened Samsung YP-Z1 box.
"Is this lmusic2?"
"no no."
Lu Fei's mysterious tricks made Bezos even more curious.
He opened the package and looked at it, and was surprised: "Is this lmusic1?" When he saw the trademark clearly, "Oh, Samsung!?"
"Yeah~"
Lu Fei said with a straight face: "Samsung is a despicable thief. It copied logic. I hope Amazon will delist this MP3."
Bezos narrowed his eyes, "It's a bit difficult to handle, quite difficult to handle. Amazon can't remove Samsung products from the shelves for no reason."
"Only remove this suspected plagiarized product from the shelves."
Lu Fei raised his lips, "Jeff, we are friends, and we are also comrades in the trenches."
Bezos was surprised, how could he become a comrade in arms?
You listen to me fooling you!
Lu Fei used his mouth escape and big deception skills to use eBay. He and Amazon are old enemies, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
eBay will acquire eBay and enter China.
"Meg invested hundreds of millions of dollars in eBay and China. The more she invested, the greater the sunk cost, and the more reluctant she was to give up, which forced her to invest more manpower, material and financial resources..."
Bezos was silent, his eyes shining.
In China, Feigou is holding back eBay and consuming its resources. Then, Amazon will be able to more easily defeat eBay and dominate the local market. If there is one eBay, the next one may be Newegg.
Feigou.com can help hold back tens of thousands of YiBei!
He said excitedly: "Lu, you are right, we are comrades in arms!"
"Cheers." Lu Fei raised the ice water.
"cheers!"
Bezos clinked his glasses and downed the drink in one gulp. "Lu, after you said that, my idea of entering China has been shaken."
"Don't worry, wearefriends!"
Lu Fei smiled evilly and promised that Feigou.com would not be able to enter the Pacific Ocean and would not enter the American market.
After all, the e-commerce environment at home and abroad is very different.
E-commerce relies on large orders and logistics, but the United States does not have such a foundation. Most local e-commerce companies switch from offline physical shopping to online shopping.
Faced with worthless promises, Bezos was heartbroken.
Lu Fei watched Andy Jassy come up to him. They whispered and discussed for a while, and then saw Bezos saying sternly:
"Lu, Amazon hates fake and shoddy products the most. Don't worry. We will definitely stop sellers from selling Samsung MP3 players. We will also apply for refunds from Samsung for the inventory in our warehouse."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, "Jeff, don't worry."
"What's wrong?" Bezos asked confused.
"It is not painful for Samsung to remove it from the shelves and refund it now. We must teach it a lesson for this shameless infringement."
Lu Fei raised his lips and said, "You have to cooperate with me."
"How to cooperate?" Andy Jassy asked curiously.
Lu Fei said quietly: "How to cooperate is the third step. You should ask when to cooperate?"
"When will we cooperate?" Andy Jassy asked.
"After the press conference."
Lu Fei's face was gloomy. This mine would only explode if it didn't explode. Once it exploded, it would shake the sky, shake the earth, and make ghosts and gods weep!
Choose a good place, choose a good time!
