On February 27, the plane arrived in the space city of Houston.
Lu Fei and Ivanka took a short rest in the hotel and arrived at the Toyota Center ten minutes before the game started.
There was a long line at the entrance and fans were trickling in.
Beats headphones can be found everywhere.
It has been implanted into NBA culture like Adidas, Nike and AJ, and is even becoming an element of American popular culture.
Lu Fei also wore beats headphones and a sweater that was completely different from before. Inside was Yao Ming's No. 11 jersey.
Ivanka and him went through the VIP channel and came to the sideline seats close to the home team. This position can fully contact the stars.
I saw Larry Page and Schmidt already seated, holding popcorn and Coke in their hands, whispering to each other.
"Hey, Paige! Eric!"
Lu Fei introduced Ivanka, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then went straight to the topic, telling the conditions for Motorola's acquisition, especially $11.5 billion, which could not be less.
"$11.5 billion?"
When Larry Page and Schmidt heard this, they didn't react much. It was obviously within their acceptable price range.
After all, it only cost 6 billion U.S. dollars, with an average of 300,000 U.S. dollars per 20,000 patents, which is more cost-effective than Nortel Networks.
And there is also the mobile phone business that Google dreams of!
"If there is no problem with the price, the only remaining problem is time. Once we take office on the board of directors, we can take action immediately."
Lu Fei glanced at Ivanka, "She will hold the board seat. She will represent me and cooperate with Karl to persuade other directors."
"Our family has a good relationship with Uncle Carl."
Ivanka blurted out excitedly.
Compared with the directors of Motorola, the talkers of the second-rate independent studios in Hollywood are not worth mentioning at all. Although it is a bit ugly, they are just the sounding board between Lu Fei and Carl Icahn.
But tool people are also valuable, so they deserve to be tool people!
Upon hearing "Uncle Carl," Schmidt and Larry Page looked at each other and immediately understood.
Larry Page lowered his voice: "Lu, so this is the reason why you can't refuse Carl Icahn? Beauty trap? I'm really proud of you, man, you sell your body like a hard-working waitress. and soul..."
"Fake Squid, do you think I need it?"
Lu Fei smiled and cursed, feeling that this word was very familiar.
"Hey, I really found out that you really have the potential to be a pretty boy. Did you expect all this to be so 'close' to Ivanka?" Larry Page winked.
"Don't make any mistake, we have been together for a long time, and she took the initiative to recruit me, not me."
Lu Fei rolled his eyes angrily.
Seeing that his eyes were darkened and he was obviously overworked, Larry Page looked at Ivanka's face, which was glowing red, and smiled mischievously:
"Please, stop coming. I could tell from the first moment I saw you that your steps were full of shame."
"Larry, can we still be happy friends?"
Lu Fei shrugged helplessly.
"Saori, Saori, Lu, I was wrong."
Larry Page poked Schmidt with his hand and said, "You are our hero. You sacrifice your little self to fulfill your greater self."
Lu Fei stretched out his middle finger and glared angrily.
"Hehe, just be satisfied. At least you are facing such a 'wow' Ivanka. Remember when I..."
Larry Page is bound to make mistakes if he talks too much, so he hastily shut up.
"Oh ho, Larry, you did it?"
Lu Fei squinted his eyes, as if he had eaten a big melon.
"of course not."
Larry Page was inspired.
Watching the two banter, Schmidt pretended to cough and interrupted, "Ahem, since the acquisition of Motorola is basically confirmed, can we open the champagne in advance to celebrate?"
"It's unlucky to open champagne at halftime, Eric."
Lu Fei smiled.
"Hahaha~"
In an instant, everyone started laughing loudly.
Ivanka, who had taken off her hat, held his arm openly, showing off her affection thoughtfully.
At this moment, the lights in the arena went out, leaving only two beams of light falling overhead, shining on the player tunnels of the two teams.
The Cavaliers players, including James, took the lead.
Then with the exciting music, the DJ loudly shouted the names of the players, "Hayes, Artest, Tracy McGrady, Battier, Lowry, Brooks, Mutombo..."
"Deadly!"
Hearing a personal name, Lu Fei couldn't help but sigh:
This is the lost youth!
The arena was filled with the full smell of gunpowder.
Because before this, the Rockets challenged the Cavaliers away from home, and Yao Ming, who was dissatisfied with the whistleblowing, said harshly, "See you in Houston" after the game. Now, naturally, enemies meet and are extremely jealous.
"Lu, even if we acquire Motorola, we can't take it lightly. Nokia will not make things easier for Android."
Larry Page watched as both teams jumped the ball.
"Larry is right. Although Nokia has not launched a lawsuit like Apple and Oracle, it has targeted us everywhere, especially your logic."
Schmidt tilted his head and looked at Lu Fei.
Nokia has been making frequent moves in the past two years. It has cooperated with Microsoft to launch ibook netbooks to compete with KindlePad, and launched "music with you" software to challenge Spotify's position as the world's No. 1 paid music application.
Although judging from the results, the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light.
It’s of no use at all!
So, we spent more money this year.
Not only did it spend $8.1 billion to buy NAVTEQ Maps to compete with Google Maps, it also bought Symbian at a high price to have a real fight with Android!
"We have already won. There is no suspense at all. When Nokia still pins its hope on Symbian, it will never catch up with us in this life."
Lu Fei's words were full of disdain.
Larry Page shook his head and said: "You cannot underestimate Nokia. Last year, the global mobile phone market share was still 38.6%, which was 4 points more than the combined smartphones of Logic, Apple, HTC, Shenzhou, and Samsung. Not long ago The N97 launched on the market, Kallasvuo even said it was the 'killer of logic phones'."
While talking, Schmidt took out the N97 from the bag containing mobile phones from Samsung, HTC, Sony Ericsson, Blackberry, Shenzhou and others.
3.5-inch screen.
There is also a touch screen, but it is still a resistive screen, failure!
There is also a physical keyboard, and it also slides to open and close, failed!
As always, Saipan, a failure within a failure!
Nokia won with tactics, but actually lost with strategy.
Lu Fei looked relaxed, "It's not as good as iPhone and i9000, which at least closely follow Logic phones in terms of size, style, design, and concept, and have copied their own characteristics. As expected, Nokia is not as professional as Apple and Samsung when it comes to plagiarism."
"After all, one is a stick and the other is Steve Jobs."
Larry Page and Schmidt suppressed laughter.
"Haha, today's smartphones are all powerful..."
Lu Fei couldn't help but murmur.
Nokia in northern Hebei Province, the fourth generation and the third prince, has great ambitions and few talents.
Jiangdong Sanxing, female tiger Li Fuzhen, watching with eager eyes.
Huainan Motorola looks like bones in a grave!
Xinye Huahua, although weaving mats and selling shoes, also has the world in mind.
As for Apple, Sony Ericsson, Xiaomi, HTC, Shenzhou...
"Lu, what are you talking about?"
Larry Page looked confused: "Are you really not worried?"
"What am I worried about?"
"The most fatal weakness of N97 is the Symbian system."
"Faced with the iterations of the Android online store, Nokia cannot and cannot take timely competitive measures."
"Because Symbian is not an intelligent operating system in nature, it is not designed for the application ecosystem. Multiple models are mixed, each generation of product systems is incompatible, and the screen sizes are different, so it cannot form a unified Software Ecology.”
"So to develop a Symbian system that is adapted to Nokia phones, you have to buy most of the Nokia phones on the market and then adapt them one by one, which is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive..."
Lu Fei said the theory of ten defeats and ten victories between Symbian and Android.
"Then Nokia has launched its own software store, Ovi Store?" Larry Page heard the worry on his face slowly disappear.
"There's no need to worry!"
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth curled up: "Not to mention the loopholes and flaws of Symbian I just talked about. Now in the Symbian camp, apart from Nokia, only LG and Ericsson are left."
"As for Android, Logic, Shenzhou, Xiaomi, Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony, BlackBerry, the current share of global operating systems, Android is about to equal Symbian."
"Perhaps at the earliest this year, or at the earliest next year, Android will lead Symbian. Do you think developers around the world will choose to develop for a system that is declining, or will they develop for a system that is rising rapidly and has a 70% revenue?"
He took out logicX2 and clicked on the mall, "Without App, no matter how good the operating system is, it is just a decoration. There are almost 80,000 Androids now, how many are Nokia! How many more can there be!"
"I originally wanted to remind you that N97 and the upcoming 5230 will be logical competitors. But when you say this, it seems like there is not much time left for Nokia?"
Schmidt smiled and grabbed a handful of popcorn.
"We are already counting down to death. If we continue to use Symbian, we will only follow in the footsteps of Motorola. In fact, even if Nokia transforms now, it will be useless. I have prepared a secret weapon."
Lu Fei showed a mysterious smile.
"What secret weapon?"
Including Ivanka, the three of them cast curious glances.
"The secret weapon is no longer a secret once you say it."
Lu Fei took a sip of Coke, "In short, the world now belongs to Nokia, but it also belongs to us, but after all, the future of the world must belong to us Android!"
"If this trend continues, Apple and Microsoft will be our biggest enemies in the future, especially Apple, which has made new moves recently. The press conference originally scheduled for March has been postponed to June."
Larry Page reveals the latest information.
"Don't think about it, I definitely want to wait for Steve Jobs to recover and a king will return." Lu Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I heard that Apple was also preparing a secret weapon this time, but it kept it secret so well that it even hired a former FBI executive as a consultant. Nothing was found except that it was a mobile phone and a tablet."
Schmidt is worried, can you withstand it?
Lu Fei, however, disagreed. Let Nokia, Apple, and Samsung all join in. What should I, Lu, have to fear?
So handsome~
Ivanka saw it and glanced at the uneasy Larry Page. She made a judgment. She rested her head on one hand and smiled on her face.
"Lu, you are so confident." Larry Page smiled and said, "Can we take a look at your latest product?"
"Of course there is no problem, but not now. After the Apple conference, I will wait for you at the Trisolaris Experiment Base."
Lu Fei casually threw the N97 to Schmidt.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the audience erupted in screams.
Just now, Yao Ming stood inside to block James.
"It's life, it's life, it's life, it's life~"
With applause, the audience sang Yao Ming's song.
This year's Rockets can be said to be the strongest team during Yao Ming's era. After all, they can compete with the defending champion Lakers in 7 games.
If Yao Ming hadn't been injured in the first game, the outcome would have been unknown.
I really can stand out, make it to the finals, and face the Magic team led by Howard. The picture is so beautiful that I can't even imagine it.
Yao Ming is the master of eating, sleeping and fighting World of Warcraft.
Without a doubt, this is the closest we've ever come to a championship.
Just need to strengthen the bench lineup and pay attention to injuries and health.
"Lu, the team you want to buy is the Rockets."
Larry Page clapped his hands.
"That's the first choice."
Lu Fei sat back in his seat, "But I don't know how much that stingy Alexander will sell it for. The price given by Forbes is US$469 million. The most I can give is US$520 million."
Then he asked, "Larry, do you want to also become a shareholder?"
"I'll forget it."
Larry Page knows that he and Ballmer are in a joint venture. Since there is Microsoft, he, a Google talker, will not get involved.
After one game, the score was fixed at 74-93.
The Cavaliers suffered a 19-point defeat and were avenged by the Rockets!
James made 7 of 21 shots and only scored 21 points and 1 rebound.
Seeing such data, he sullenly walked to the locker room without looking back, but screams immediately broke out behind him.
When he looked up, the four screens above his head showed the figures of Lu Fei, Ivanka and others. The photographer at the scene slowly panned the camera to Lu Fei's upper body, and saw him——
He took off his hat and stood up, waving his hands around.
"Oh my God! Friends at the scene, let us welcome the Iron Man of Silicon Valley to Houston with applause and screams!"
The DJ held a microphone and shouted loudly.
"Lu! Lu!"
"Tony! Tony! Tony!"
In an instant, there was a wave of applause.
James immediately changed his mind and walked towards him.
The two shook hands and talked and laughed.
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth raised, "It's just a regular season game, don't take it to heart, the future is yours, LeBron."
"Thank you, Lu."
The corner of James' mouth twitched, and he immediately thought of the scene of being swept in the finals for the first time in his life, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
At this moment, Yao Ming also came to say hello.
James wisely gave up his position and just turned to leave when he heard Lu Fei say to Yao Ming: "Don't let loyalty harm you."
"Don't let loyalty get you wrong?"
James's heart trembled and he turned around suddenly.
Mr. Lu is trying to win over Yao Ming in advance.
Suddenly I remembered the rumors circulating in NBA circles that Lu Fei wanted to buy the team. It seems that it is indeed not false.
In a daze, he saw Lacob taking off his Rockets hat angrily and walking angrily in front of Lu Fei and others.
Obviously, the news is not good.
Unless it costs 800 million US dollars, we will definitely not sell it!
"Alexander's exact words?"
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.
"That's right, he has no sincerity in selling!"
Lacob gritted his teeth.
"Of course, as long as Yao Ming is here, there will be a stable Chinese market. How can he sell this cornucopia so easily?"
"Lu, it seems we can only choose one of the four teams: Wizards, Nets, Hornets, and Warriors."
"Didn't we tell you before, warrior?"
"The Warriors don't have much of a problem. They have been bad for decades. The fans can't stand it for a long time. But there will be one resistance, that is, Warriors fans prefer to hand over the team to Larry Ellison. After all, the ball The museum's title is 'Oracle', and if we compete with him, we may be at a big disadvantage..."
Lacob's face was filled with worry.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, who did you just say is going to buy the Warriors? Is it Larry Ellison? Is he planning to buy the Warriors?"
Before Lu Fei could say anything, Larry Page was shocked.
"Yes, you heard it right, it's the Oracle one."
Lu Fei gave him a meaningful look.
"Farke! Lu, if you want to steal the Warriors from Larry Ellison, you must count me in!"
Larry Page was uncharacteristically emotional.
Seeing this, Ivanka asked in a low voice: "Didn't he just refuse? Why did he change his mind when he heard 'Larry Ellison'?"
"Because Oracle and Google are mortal enemies, and Ellison and Page are mortal enemies of mortal enemies, just like me and Steve Jobs."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth curled up slightly.
"Apple, Oracle, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson seem to be all targeting you and logic this year. Aren't you afraid at all?"
Ivanka pursed her lips.
"It's because they are afraid of me that they all come after me."
Lu Fei patted her peach calmly.
Real score.
