Davos Forum lasts for 5 days.
The topic has always been around subprime mortgages, discussing how to deal with the current financial crisis sweeping the world and save the world economy.
Lu Fei not only talks about it, but also puts it into action.
The reason why Ali Baba failed to enter the European market was because Hermès and Chanel felt that Ali Baba’s style was too low and not worthy of the luxury brands.
Ali Baba is often regarded as a gateway to the Chinese market, but is unwilling to sell to local users on the platform.
Before, it was Ali Baba who was looking for European brands.
But right now, the offense and defense are alien!
The global economy is in recession, and landlords have no food left!
Lu Fei and Liu Edong summarized the experience of Ali Baba’s failure. It is difficult for C2C and B2B to work. Only Jingdong, like Amazon, which mainly promotes B2C, can stand firm.
Soon, brand owners from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and other countries came to the pole to beg Jingdong.
I worked hard for 5 days on goods, warehousing, transportation, and payment, and established a base in Europe earlier than Amazon.
On the last day, with full authorization from Yangtze River Express, we signed transfer agreements with many European airlines, and our cargo routes were expanded to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris...
As for the truck delivery network, leave it to Liu Haodong.
After everything was settled, Lu Fei arrived at Davos Airport in a special American car and met the President's Air Force One.
A blue and white Boeing 747 parked on the airport.
"Hey! Lu!"
Lucian had just arrived and walked out of the car, showing his big white teeth and waving hello.
"This is my translator and that is my bodyguard."
Lu Fei smiled and shook hands with him, and introduced Wang Ben and the female translator beside him. She was the Waijiaotu specially arranged for him by Secretary Huang.
The group of people stepped onto the boarding stairs, chatting and laughing.
"Lu, "The Three-Body Problem" is so well written!"
Lucian smiled, "Especially in the second part, the universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun. Both sides cannot judge whether the other is a well-intentioned civilization. Once exposed, they must take action earlier and eliminate it with gunfire." "
"No, civilizations should not take the initiative to attack and destroy other civilizations. This is the lowest goodwill." Lu Fei corrected.
"Haha, that's right."
Lucian smiled and said: "I am looking forward to the following story. When will the third part be published? I sent an email to Liu to urge the update. I sent two emails in a row, but I haven't waited for his reply."
Lu Fei explained: "Haha, Liu thought someone was playing a prank and pretending to be you deliberately, so he deleted the email. But it doesn't matter. I will urge him to update it for you. When the third part is published, I will send it to you as soon as possible. .”
"That's great."
Lucian sat down with a serious look on his face: "Now that we've finished talking about personal matters, let's talk about business matters."
"Before that, please give me a Coke, thank you." Lu Fei unbuttoned his suit and waved to the stewardess.
"me too."
Lucian got the Coke, held it high and said, "Cheers."
"cheers."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes and smiled in acquaintance with him.
From the eyes, one can vaguely read——
Let us drink together from the golden cup, but we will not spare you any mercy!
The flight from Davos to the United States takes seven or eight hours.
When Air Force One arrived at the airport, the long-awaited media immediately swarmed over, and the cameras were all focused on Lucian and Lu Fei.
"Kakaka~l
The flashbulbs flashed and the two stood side by side.
"Our meeting went very smoothly. Huaxia Lu is one of the greatest entrepreneurs in the world!" Lucian said with a grin, "He loves America and he also loves China."
nmd, dig a hole for me!
Lu Fei smiled but immediately interjected: "Yes, I love China very much, and I also love America."
"I'm very happy to be able to do some big things with Huaxia Lu."
Lucian patted him on the shoulder in a gesture of intimacy.
"The main thing is to do some small business and create jobs for the United States." Lu Fei kept smiling and did his best to show off.
"Lu, thank you for accepting my invitation. We will see you in the White House when we have the opportunity." Lucian extended his hand.
"My pleasure, President."
Lu Fei shook hands with him, and the two separated.
Seeing that they were unable to interview Lucian, the reporters resorted to the next best thing, swarming around him and bombarding him indiscriminately.
"Lu, what topics did you talk about?"
“He expressed his gratitude to me, thanking YouTube and these platforms for contributing to his campaign. Of course, this is also an honor for YouTube, Line, Twitter, and Facebook. He allowed more people to access and use them, accelerating the new era of social media. s arrival."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth curled up slightly.
"You seemed to have mentioned employment just now?"
A New York Times reporter followed up with questions.
"Yes, that's right. I suggest that after the subprime mortgage crisis, both sides need to strengthen trade cooperation. In addition to traditional foreign trade, we should also use e-commerce to help large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, the east, and the central and western regions. If nothing else, , Feigou.com may create 1 million jobs in the United States."
As soon as Lu Fei said these words, the whole hall was in an uproar.
"1000000?!"
Every one of them took a breath.
At this moment, a question deliberately seeking trouble arose in the media: "Instead of creating jobs for us, it would be better to say that you took away our jobs. Many people felt that it was 'Made in China' that took away our jobs." Got our money!”
"Have you read "The World is Flat" written by Friedman and I?" Lu Fei curled his lips and dismissed it.
"Uh, sure."
"I remember there was a passage in Friedman's book where you outsource manufacturing to Mexico and China, and outsource services to Tianzhu, but you yourself only want to control knowledge products, only technology, and It’s great to build a brand!”
Lu Fei raised his thumb, "The United States has a great strategy. It leaves low-end jobs to other countries in the world and controls its own intellectual property rights, technology, and brands. In the past few years, how much money have companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, and Motorola made? In terms of tens of millions of dollars, this is more money than the four major Chinese banks combined, but where does all the money go?"
He said with a cold smile, "You have invested all your money in the war. Over more than 20 years, you have spent tens of trillions of dollars. If you spend part of the money on infrastructure, on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, on helping white-collar workers and Blue collar, what’s going to happen?”
"This may be a reason. It's not that other countries stole jobs from you. The United States failed to allocate money and resources reasonably. It should be spending money on its own people, right?"
On the TV, the news was playing.
Jobs was lying on the hospital bed, his body was thin, his cheeks were sick, but his eyes were bright, "Humph, Lu is coming at this time, and he is coming with Lucian, it is definitely for Nortel Networks."
"no doubt."
Cook said with a straight face, "According to our investigation, he has formed a consortium with Google, Microsoft, Blackstone, Huawei, and Motorola and is ready for acquisitions, but we are not bad either, RIM, Sony, EMC, and Ericsson are all It has been negotiated and we can spend up to US$4 billion."
"Not enough, not enough. Lu made a lot of money from this subprime loan!" Jobs said in a low voice, "It's best to persuade Microsoft to turn to us. Bill Gates and Ballmer, these two idiots, helped Logic and Google acquire Nortel. What good does the Internet do to them?"
"As you wish, I have talked to them."
"How was the talk?"
"It's not that we can't talk about it."
Cook smiled. Ballmer and Bill Gates said that Lu Fei was their close friend, even his half-brother, and they wanted Microsoft to switch sides and side with Apple——
If there is no benefit, who will rebel?
"Then continue talking to them until they are satisfied. Nortel Networks must not let Google and Logic succeed."
Jobs cheered up, "As long as we can't get Nortel Networks, we can sue them for patent infringement, and we can also sue them together with Nokia. I want to let them, cough cough cough cough!"
"Steve, we'll do this."
Cook rang the beeper, "The most important thing for you right now is your health. This is Apple's critical period of growth. Anyone, including me, can fall, but you must not fall."
Jobs shook his head and laughed: "Although I have received good care, there is no suitable liver here. I have also traveled to all hospitals in the United States and received examinations from different hospitals, but so far, I have not found a liver source that matches me."
"Maybe try Uk..."
Cook opened his mouth, and the attending doctor walked in.
In the meantime, bring good news.
"Steve, we found the right liver for you, right here at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where you will receive your liver transplant."
"Really!?"
Cook is happier than Jobs.
The doctor shrugged, "The ratio of liver supply and demand there is higher than in California. You also know that not everyone can travel to other states to receive a transplant. Only people like you, Steve, can enjoy it."
"how much time is required?"
Jobs touched his chin, his hands shaking slightly with excitement.
"After completing the liver transplantation, coupled with chemotherapy and targeted therapy, the condition will be relieved and under control in about 6 months." The doctor adjusted his glasses.
"Relief? Control? Can't it be eradicated?"
Cook's face hardened.
The doctor sighed, "Pancreatic cancer is the king of cancers and is very malignant. Besides, Steve has already metastasized. Even if he completes the liver transplant, I'm afraid he won't be able to..."
"How long can I live?"
Jobs looked solemn.
"About two and a half years."
The doctor was silent for a while, "Judging from your current physical condition, the result is already quite good. After all, others are not as rich as you. Of course, there may be new drugs in two years..."
"That's 2011."
There was a hint of loneliness in Jobs's eyes.
Cook was excited: "Steve, don't be so negative. As long as the treatment is good, three to five years won't be a problem."
"Whether it's two years or two and a half years, in short, in my lifetime, I must let Apple surpass logic, and I must kill this bastard Lu!" Jobs said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Start with Nortel Networks, no matter what Use any means, no matter what the cost, Tim will never let Lu succeed again!"
"Steve, don't worry, leave it to me, do the surgery with peace of mind, and wait for our good news." Cook said firmly.
"Make arrangements for me to go to Tennessee."
Jobs looked at the doctor as if he was ready to die.
Give me a little more time, give me a little more time!
I'll borrow another five hundred years from heaven, just to kill Mr. Lu!
………
"Ah sneeze!"
In the office, Lu Fei sneezed unexpectedly.
As soon as he arrived in the United States, he moved non-stop to Seattle, Logic's base camp in North America. Guo Xing, Zhang Tianmei and others surrounded him and reported in detail all the intelligence of Nortel Networks.
"Mr. Lu, the final estimated total value of more than 6,000 patents is at least US$1 billion. The patents involved in wireless, data network, optical communications, and semiconductors will not be auctioned at once, but will be divided into six batches and auctioned in sequence."
Zhang Tianmei pressed the page-turning pen, and the slides behind her changed accordingly. "Nortel Networks is very smart. It packages some useless, backward, and obsolete patents with high-value patents."
"Good goods bundled with garbage, have the same virtue as Qualcomm!"
Lu Fei sneered, "Do you know which batch the patents that are important to logic and Android are in?"
"The auction list will be announced in a few days."
Guo Xingdao: "The auction is scheduled for February 14th, and the location will be in Ottawa. Before that, everyone agreed to hold another meeting with you attending, but there is a special situation..."
"Say! What's the bad news?"
Lu Fei looked left and right.
Guo Xing bit the bullet and said: "It's Motorola. Motorola has serious financial problems. It's so serious that it needs to be split into two independently listed companies. One is focused on the mobile communication equipment business, and the other is responsible for the broadband and mobile communication solutions business. , will be split up soon, so there won’t be much money available.”
"How much is not more?"
Lu Fei smacked his lips and said, "We haven't seen each other for several years. Why did Motorola act like this?" I almost bought Huawei back then.
"$300 million."
Guo Xing stretched out three fingers.
"300 million is just 300 million. Without Motorola, it would be really difficult. It would be difficult to pass the antitrust review by the Ministry of Justice alone."
Lu Fei said: "Besides, Motorola also has a lot of good things. Let's just treat it as a favor. Maybe we can use it in the future."
Guo Xing nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Lu, just because of Google, Microsoft, Motorola and Blackstone, the Ministry of Justice has not blocked our approval due to antitrust issues and has approved our bid for Nortel Networks' patent assets."
"Also, there is good news."
Zhang Tianmei suddenly interrupted, saying that Google was one step ahead of schedule and was negotiating a "fake horse bidder" agreement with Nortel Networks.
According to the agreement, if no other company participates in the bidding, the consortium headed by Google and Logic will acquire more than 4,000 technology patents from Nortel Networks for US$1 billion.
If any company is interested, it must bid at least US$1.029 billion. Subsequent bids must be based on this and increase the price by at least US$5 million each time. In other words, other companies' bidding prices must be higher than Google's US$1 billion offer. ——
Otherwise, the auction will be aborted.
The patented technology belongs to Google and Logic!
"Has the outcome been reached?"
The eyes of Lu Fei, Guo Xing and others suddenly lit up.
"We are still talking. If nothing unexpected happens, Google will reveal the results during the meeting. As far as I know, the possibility of success is not small." Zhang Tianmei smiled.
"I'll call Paige later to find out the situation."
Lu Fei knocked on the table, feeling that Nortel Networks was one step closer to him, and logic, especially Android's "human sea tactic" to avoid patent infringement, was also one step closer.
What patent trolls like Apple, Nokia, and Samsung are best at is using various means to suppress companies that have just entered the market.
Mobile patents are like atomic bombs and cannot be left without.
Having no sword in hand and having a sword but not using it are completely different things!
Everyone followed Nortel Networks and talked about the risky trial production of Fuxin's 40/45nm process in early February. Masters Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong personally sat in and chatted for more than an hour.
"Why Zulong 221..."
Lu Fei got excited about talking, and then received a text message from Ivanka on his phone, inviting him to his home.
Actually, her father wanted to see him!
Dong Jianguo wants to see him?
Thanks to Yuan Lai for the 1,000 starting coins.
