Silicon Valley, San Jose Hotel.
"Mr. Lu, ATI has rejected our proposal to take a stake and prefers to be acquired by AMD, with an offer price of more than US$5 billion."
Lu Fei stood in the elevator and sighed.
Sun Hongjun brought extremely bad news on the phone. Just like in the previous life, Double-A is still moving towards unity. Now, A-card and N-card occupy at least 95% of the independent graphics card market. From hardware to software, it really depends on the PC. America's face.
"Mr. Lu, don't take it too seriously. There's nothing you can do about it. ATI only has graphics cards. What they want most is complementary technologies. Only Intel, Nvidia and AMD are qualified."
】
"Yes, we only have money, not as much as AMD."
In the elevator, the cell phone signal is poor.
Lu Fei hung up the phone, when the door opened with a "ding", he walked quickly in the corridor, and then stopped at the door guarded by bodyguards.
"Dongdongdong."
Li Fuzhen said "Come in", and when he turned around, his fluffy shoulder-length hair was flying, and his cold eyes saw that familiar face with a cynical smile.
She subconsciously stood up from the sofa and flipped up her hair on her temples. The pearl necklace around her neck and the diamonds on her white skirt complemented each other, creating a gentle and elegant beauty.
"lady."
Lu Fei's eyes flashed with an intriguing light.
"Mr. Lu, I hope you can call me 'Minister Li' or 'Director Li' when working."
Li Fuzhen seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a hint of indifference hidden in his eyebrows.
"Is it working time now?"
Lu Fei spread his hands playfully, "I don't think it's convenient for them to be present for this conversation, madam."
"You guys go out first."
Li Fuzhen glanced at the secretary and his entourage without saying a word until the door clicked shut tightly, then he opened his mouth and said: "You are looking for me..."
"Why didn't you bring the child?"
Lu Fei was very familiar with himself and looked around.
"This time I am on official business, not on a family vacation."
Li Fuzhen's face was as cold as frost.
Lu Fei looked straight at her, "I've been emailing you asking you what your child's name is, but you haven't replied. Now you should tell me what his name is, right?"
"Do you need to know?"
"You don't think it's necessary?"
"Ren Zaidong."
Li Fuzhen turned around and faced Mingyue, with his back to the person.
"I saw in the news that his last name wasn't Li?"
Lu Fei touched his chin.
"You came to ask me if you knew?"
Li Fuzhen looked back fiercely and glared angrily. Then he realized that he was losing his temper. He exhaled and said, "The surname 'Li' is my father's request. He has imposed his will on our family. There is nothing I can do about it."
"What month were you born in?"
Lu Fei asked eagerly because the newspaper information was unclear.
"Why are you so concerned about Zaidong? You should care more about Yin Xin! She is 25, and she has pushed for blind dates so many times because of you. Do you know!" Li Fuzhen held his arms in his arms, and his cold scolding was mixed with alienation, "You shouldn't care about what you should care about." , you shouldn’t be concerned about it, please remember your identity, Mr. Lu."
"Only when you take control of Samsung will we be able to do that."
Lu Fei suddenly became serious.
"As long as you understand."
Li Fuzhen said with a cold face: "I am here this time because I have reliable information that you and Toshiba have broken through the technical bottleneck of NAND flash memory and transformed from 2D to 3D structure..."
Lu Fei waved his hand: "Let's talk after the press conference. We will only talk about personal matters today, not official matters."
"That's okay, you can go."
Seeing that he was in a daze, Li Fuzhen felt a sense of joy in his heart. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Aren't you leaving? It's almost 10 o'clock now. Aren't you still busy with the press conference? It's getting late."
"Good night, ma'am."
Lu Fei stood up and left without any hesitation.
Watching his back disappear into the corridor, Li Fuzhen sat back on the sofa sadly, rubbed his hands together, and sighed:
"Good night."
………
Two days later, September 1st.
The conference venue was no longer the Masconne Convention Center that had been used before, but was changed to the Moscone Convention Center with more seats.
There seemed to be a long queue at the door, with no end in sight.
Just like Apple fans call themselves "fruit fans," fans of logic also have a collective name, "rational fans," but they act irrationally at all and regard logic as a sacred religion for pilgrimage.
“There are so many people!
Tim Cook was sitting in the car, looking at the dense crowd through the car window. This kind of scene used to only appear at Apple's press conference, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Jobs snorted coldly. In his sight, he could easily spot the figures of technology giants, Nokia President Kallasvuo, Motorola Zander, Qualcomm's Paul Jacobs, Sony's Kazuo Hirai...
"It's less than five years since it was established. If Logic was given 10 or 15 years, I'm afraid..."
Tim Cook couldn't even imagine that in just a few years, with music players, tablets, music headphones, music phones, etc., Logic could already keep pace with Apple.
In the list of the "Top Ten Most Innovative Companies in the World in 2005" compiled by Fortune, Apple is on the list, as are Logic and Penguin. As for Feigou.com, it was pushed out by Amazon, a competitor of the same type. .
"What are you afraid of! As soon as the iPhone comes out, Apple will be great again. It will be useless to give China another 20 years!"
Jobs dragged his thin body out of the car and as soon as he appeared, his iconic turtleneck top and blue jeans instantly attracted attention and cameras.
"Buy it, Steve Jobs!"
Soon someone recognized him, and the crowd was in an uproar, whispering to each other.
"Jobs! Jobs is here!"
"Why did he show up at Logic's press conference?"
"Isn't this strange? Didn't you notice that this time is particularly lively? Texas Instruments, AMD, Intel, Infineon, NVIDIA, Samsung, TSMC, and almost all the semiconductor companies in the world are here!"
"All-star~"
"This is the influence of logic. The competition is getting bigger every year. I think it may exceed Apple's press conference."
"Removing 'maybe' has surpassed all Apple's previous launches. Don't you think that except for computers, Apple can't surpass logic in anything now? A buddy of mine who is an analyst at Goldman Sachs said that if the territory of logic is in the United States, If so, the valuation can definitely exceed Apple by 25%. Unfortunately, since it is located in China, the valuation may exceed 10% at most."
"No way, I don't believe it?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. Do you know how many Logicx units have been sold worldwide? A total of 13 million units! It is already comparable to Nokia's best-selling single product mobile phone. It's a pity that I don't know what Lu thinks and is willing to give up. The mobile phone business, otherwise, would not be as small as 10%."
"..."
Jobs's smile froze, and the logic that came to his ears was that he was criticizing Apple and praising Apple. His anger level kept rising, almost reaching the threshold of bursting. His face became gloomy, and he walked into the hall without looking back, and found the phone that belonged to Apple. seat.
Li Fuzhen had already taken his seat and was looking forward to it.
The exhibition hall, which can accommodate a full 5,000 people, was packed with seats.
Logic's own mid-level, senior management and engineering team were sitting in the fifth row of the auditorium. Sun Hongjun specially held a bottle of Moutai in his arms and passed in front of his subordinates.
"Old Sun, you actually brought wine to your press conference?"
Guo Xing chewed gum.
"I have to drink some wine to calm down my shock. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid that I might die suddenly at the press conference, which would be a huge disaster."
As the second-in-command of logic, Sun Hongjun naturally has to appear on the front line at such a ground-breaking moment.
"What's the use of drinking alcohol? I tried it last time and it didn't help at all. I have to keep this on hand."
Guo Xing licked his lips and took out a brown plastic medicine gourd from his pocket. The label read "Suxiao Jiuxin Pills."
"If you have experience, give me a few pills later."
Sun Hongjun's eyes lit up. Cephalosporins are paired with wine, and they can leave immediately. Suxiao Jiuxin Pills are paired with wine. What does that feel like?
"Mr. Sun, Mr. Guo, it's better not to take medicine randomly."
Zhang Tianmei reminded weakly: "Mr. Lu explained in advance that five ambulances have stopped at the door. I think no matter what, we can still rescue him."
"Haha, Mr. Lu is so thoughtful."
The corner of Guo Xing's mouth twitched and he glanced at his watch, "Ahem, it's almost time. It's time for Mr. Lu to come on stage."
…………
"5, 4, 3, 2..."
"1!"
As soon as the countdown ended, the spotlight focused on the stage, and an alarm clock was projected on the screen, showing 10 o'clock exactly.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of light hit the entrance from the backstage to the front desk.
Lu Fei, as always, was wearing pure white short-sleeves and dark blue jeans. When he appeared with a trendy it-man attitude, the scene immediately erupted into thunderous applause.
"Snapped."
"Bah bang bang."
"Hi! Guys."
Lu Fei made various gestures with his fingers and pointed at the audience. Wherever he pointed, screams and cheers would erupt.
After Kang's impassioned opening remarks, he went through the procedures with ease, from lmusitasy5 to ki2, one after another of the top products, performance, parameters, functions, price, and time to market, all were revealed.
"Wow!"
The audience's exclamation didn't last long. They were astonished, but it didn't have the shock of a dimensionality reduction blow before. The kind of heartbeat that penetrated into the bone marrow made people couldn't help but shout -
Damn it, awesome Glass!
"Sure enough, even with logic, it's impossible to come up with new tricks every year."
Major international manufacturers such as Sony, Nokia, and Motorola could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and secretly rejoice in their hearts.
"I thought it would be a strong rival, but now it's nothing more than that."
Jobs smiled coldly: "If a company loses its innovative spirit, it is destined to become mediocre. Tim, maybe in 10 or 15 years, you will be able to see the dying logic."
"Probably."
Tim Cook adjusted his glasses, "Logic is undoubtedly in a growth crisis. Without the motivation and strength to develop new products, sooner or later, market share will be lost."
Just as friends and businessmen were gloating and even laughing out loud, the media were surprised to find a blind spot. Earphones, tablets, and music players have all been displayed, so why is the press conference not over yet?
Just when everyone was confused, Lu Fei walked to a display stand covered by gauze and said calmly:
"Last year, we released Logic's first feature phone, Logicx, which amazed the world. Since then, more and more friends have followed our lead and launched a series of music phones positioned as fashionable and youthful."
"But in essence, music phones are still feature phones."
"Almost all mobile phones on the market are similar. At most, they differ in shapes such as candy bar, clamshell, folding, etc. So is there no way for mobile phones to make progress, and there is no room for further evolution?"
"My answer is, no!"
Lu Fei blurted out, and at the same time, two pictures of the front and back of "lphone3g" were inserted on the projection screen.
In an instant, like an earthquake, riots broke out.
The friends and businessmen sitting in the front row, especially the mobile phone manufacturers, are all more or less in a state of confusion, and there is a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission. The first reaction is almost-
Damn it, we were all deceived by Lu Fei’s thick eyebrows and big eyes!
mmp, Lu Fei, you said you don’t make mobile phones!
"Cook, do you hear that? Do you hear that?"
Jobs didn't feel proud at all, and said in a cold voice: "Logic is not stupid enough to not build a mobile phone even if there is a capacitive touch screen. I know this damn bastard Lu too well!"
"How could this happen? How could this happen..."
There are many people who have the same idea as Tim Cook. They find it difficult to accept it for a while, their emotions are mixed, and all their thoughts turn into a burning anger.
Young people don't respect business ethics, they come to cheat and attack!
Accompanied by bursts of boos, Lu Fei showed no stage fright and walked calmly from the far left to the far right of the stage, saying as he walked:
"Many people will question, Lu, you have clearly announced that you will not manufacture mobile phones on behalf of logic, why do you suddenly go back on your word now? Did you break your promise and destroy your goodwill?"
"Xu~"
The boos were getting louder and the curses were getting louder. Li Fuzhen was stuck in the crowd, secretly worried, and looked up at the man on the stage. He was still calm and confident.
"Wrong, absolutely wrong!"
Lu Fei spoke like a tactician, using his eloquence to the extreme, using the secret of deceiving the situation in war and deceiving the enemy.
"I have announced to the public that I will never build functional phones!
It is completely different from the concept of "mobile phone" that you know now. This "mobile phone" is not that "mobile phone". The logic is not to build a well-known feature phone, nor is it the most discussed stylus phone. We are based on the feature phone. Breakthrough innovation, if feature phones like LogicX are mobile phones 2.0, then Logic's lphone3g is an unprecedented mobile phone 3.0, that is, a smartphone! "
smartphone?
Nokia, Motorola and other manufacturers looked at each other, and Sony was even more angry. Kazuo Hirai blushed and scolded logic for being shameless, scolding the Chinese for loving to play this kind of word game.
Lu Sang's conscience was greatly damaged!
"Pfft!"
Seeing the Japanese company breaking the defense, Li Fuzhen smiled brightly, and the nervousness gradually disappeared. Looking at the eloquent Lu Fei on the stage, he talked endlessly about "destructive innovation" and "sustaining innovation", "functional machine" and "intelligence". The various differences between "machine".
These are all my words!
My word!
Jobs's sickly and thin face was flushed with anger, and his teeth were chattering. He was already holding back a lot of anger, but when he saw the words "lphone3g" appearing on the projection screen, his eyes suddenly darkened and he was so angry. I almost fainted.
Damn it, Mr. Lu!
Not only did you steal my inspiration, you also copied the name of the iPhone!
ah! I have never seen anyone so shameless!
Seeing the sick Steve Jobs crumbling, Tim Cook quickly gave him a hand, "Steve, what's wrong with you, Steve?"
Land thief! Bad thief! Traitor! Evil thief! I swear to kill you!
Jobs was out of breath, his chest was heaving like a windbox, and his anger was burning from head to toe.
Tim Cook was worried that he couldn't bear the stimulation and got sick, so he tried to persuade him: "Steve, do you want me to send someone to take you to the hospital?"
"No, no, I want to stay."
Jobs supported his sick body, "I want to stay, I want to see how his iPhone 3G is doing, and which one is better, or my iPhone!"
At this moment, Lu Fei lifted the covering cloth, and a row of iPhone 3G engineering machines were placed in front of everyone. An image output module was installed on the back of each machine. As long as it was connected to a projector, the mobile phone interface could be simultaneously projected onto the screen. superior.
After a while, the screen opening interface appeared on the projection screen.
Sun Hongjun was so panicked that he unscrewed the lid of Moutai and was about to take a sip from the bottle when he was immediately snatched away by Guo Xing.
He raised his neck, took a big sip, and then passed it to Bai Yongxiang next to him, passing it from one engineer to another, releasing the pressure accumulated over the past two years.
Success or failure depends on this!
Lu Fei gently slid the slide button, as if God was opening a new door.
In full view of everyone, slide to unlock, success!
"Oh my God!"
"Monkey Raichet!"
"What is this? Is this a God phone!"
The whole audience was in an uproar, applauding thunderously, and cheering.
Jobs was trembling with anger, convulsing like an epilepsy, and cursing: "This is my inspiration, Frank, Lu is a habitual thief, he stole my inspiration! Damn it, he stole the name of iPhone! He What a steal of Apple’s moment to be great again!”
"Steve, are you ok?"
Tim Cook offered constant reassurance.
"Tim, check! Check!"
Jobs' words were filled with overwhelming anger: "Lu must have planted a commercial spy in Apple! It must be!"
In his sight, he saw Lu Fei grinning crookedly, grinning in pain, wishing to tear his mouth apart.
"In order to ensure the security of your smartphone, you can also set a power-on password. Now, let's do it again."
Lu Fei picked up the second iPhone 3G, entered four 0s, and opened the phone interface smoothly. In addition to daily applications such as phone calls and address books, the screen displayed Sogou browser, Foxmail, QQ, Facebook, Line, etc. Applications appeared one by one in Android system 1.0, mixing early iOS and MIUI styles, which are neither obtrusive nor unusually harmonious.
"hooligan……"
Li Fuzhen covered his mouth, his eyes flickered, his eyes were full of Lu Fei in the spotlight, and his heart was pounding.
"Bravo!"
The stronger the applause and cheers from the audience, the more uneasy and uneasy the surrounded friends and businessmen became. They were all on pins and needles, and suddenly——
"Oh, someone fainted."
"Ambulance, the ambulance is ready outside!"
One or two rational fans were so excited that their brains lacked oxygen and fainted unexpectedly, which was comparable to a superstar concert.
