Chapter 943 Friends (4k)

The Android camp has added new players.

As Google, Yike, and HTC initially finalized their intentions, Schmidt, who most wanted to see the prosperous development of the Android system, meaningfully posted a photo on Facebook of Mr. Fang and Mr. Wang shaking hands and smiling.

Vaguely, this can be regarded as Google's response to Nokia's public opinion. The Android camp is always getting stronger.

Nokia's press conference had some of the effects it wanted. Although it is unclear whether ITC had a stimulating effect, the technology and financial media did have a more heated discussion.

They easily discussed the ban on LG mobile phones.

LG is still two months away from the final ban on sales determined by the leadership, but after the ITC announced its ruling, LG mobile phones from various channels were gradually removed from the shelves. The most fatal thing is that its largest cooperative channel in the United States, Verizon, also announced that "To protect consumer rights and interests, the sale of infringing LG mobile phones will be cancelled."

Immediately afterwards, Verizon announced in a high-profile manner that it had reached a cooperation with Yiko Mobile Phones and would launch the Mars series of products.

Such actions made LG executives, who only learned the news in front of the media, lose their composure and angrily accused Yike and Verizon of collaborating!

There are also media commenting on this point.

"If Yike is banned from selling in the future like LG, will Verizon immediately remove the Mars phone from the shelves again to protect the rights and interests of consumers, and then switch to Apple iPhone?"

Such an argument is very expectant and gloating.

Because many media have invited practitioners to analyze the patent litigation situation between Nokia and Yike.

Without exception, everyone thinks that Yike cannot win the patent lawsuit, but their predictions of the outcome are different. Some think that it will most likely be banned, while others think that Nokia will still ask for money after all. .

There are already strong players joining the Android camp. Even if a Yike company is banned and Samsung is eyeing it, it is better to get a huge patent fee.

On the evening of December 12, a reporter took a photo of the two founders of Yike entering the restaurant by car. He then waited patiently for them to finish their meal and stepped forward to inquire about the company's patent dispute.

Seeing that there was only one reporter waiting on the cold winter night, Fang Zhuo thoughtfully signaled to his assistants to leave room for interviews.

"Mr. Fang, the media generally believes that it is difficult for Yike to win Nokia's lawsuit. What do you think of this?"

Fang Zhuo still answered the same: "I have confidence in Yike."

"If, if Yike really loses the lawsuit and is banned from sales like LG, how will you deal with it?" The reporter made a hypothetical qualification.

"Of course we respect the ITC's ruling, otherwise?" Fang Zhuo shrugged, "No matter LG, Yike, Nokia, or anyone else, I think everyone must be willing to admit defeat. I am a person who can afford to lose. ”

The reporter felt that this sentence seemed to mean something, but he could not think of anything specific for a short time, so he had to seize the moment and ask again: "There is news claiming that Yike and Google have a dispute over the Android business. Is it because of the Nokia patent?" Impact of litigation?”

"It's strange. As the chairman of Yike, why don't I know? Don't use this kind of fake news. Just leave it like this. I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance." Fang Zhuo denied the news with a smile.

The reporter wanted to ask again, but seeing that Mr. Fang had already motioned for his assistants to come forward, he had no choice but to wish the other party a Merry Christmas and ended the interview.

"Nokia still has a reputation." Yu Hong watched this small interview and expressed her feelings.

Just as she was about to get in the car, she suddenly found that her bag had been left in the restaurant upstairs, so she turned around and went back to get her bag.

When Yu Hong went downstairs again, she saw Mr. Fang chatting happily with a long-legged blond girl, and then obviously took the note handed by the other party.

"Ha, she's quite charming." Yu Hong walked closer and watched the blonde blink away with lingering thoughts.

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly: "She said I was the most handsome oriental man she had ever seen."

Yu Hong reminded: "Is this handsomeness blessed by your ranking on the Forbes rich list?"

"I feel like she didn't recognize me. Besides, I'm not a big star and I don't often appear in the media." Fang Zhuo shook his head, feeling that Xiao Yu was too speculative.

Yu Hong reminded again: "Is this handsomeness because of the Rolls-Royce next to you?"

Fang Zhuo sighed: "Mr. Yu, why bother? The pressure from Nokia has already bent me down. It's rare for me to be confused. Don't be so serious."

"Hurry up and pay back the money. I'm going to buy back the company's shares." Yu Hong emphasized her identity as a creditor.

Yike's stock price may be negative at some point in the future. As a co-founder, she decided to buy back shares to express her confidence in the company's development.

"If it weren't for Mr. Yu, he would be willing to share the difficulties with me." Fang Zhuo opened the door for Mr. Yu himself.

Yu Hong emphasized before sitting in: "It's with the company, not you."

"It's rare to be confused. No matter who you are with, Mr. Yu is always good. If you pass this level, Mr. Yu can consider changing his position." Fang Zhuo also sat in the car and smiled, "As long as you pass Nokia, After digesting the Hummingbird chip, I think Mr. Yu can become the president of Yike.”

"Didn't you say that I am the King of the United States? I think it is good to be my King of the United States." Yu Hong did not have much enthusiasm for the position of president.

"The positioning of the US market is still different. Judging from the acquisitions during this wave of financial crisis, there are still many talents in Silicon Valley. It is precisely because of the promotion of the Silicon Valley R&D center that we have two Mars products now. This is not just a measure from the market perspective." Fang Zhuo was a little more serious, "But I still hope to cultivate and give full play to local talents. At least, there can be two global dual technology centers in Silicon Valley and Shanghai."

He continued: "The competition in the mobile phone industry is very fierce, but the Android system is just beginning. Our local area can stimulate more R&D forces. If you come to be the president, your focus cannot be limited to the United States."

Yu Hong glanced at the boss and asked: "Are you afraid to come to the United States after killing a wave of shorts?"

"Haha, not really. I have a moral advantage. If others don't come to harm me, I will naturally not harm... others." Fang Zhuo paused, and suddenly remembered the actions that the gasoline man had already launched, and began to use vests to seduce institutions to short.

Many institutions in the financial crisis were listless, and they really had to help stimulate a wave of energy.

Shorting is done quickly, all thanks to self-leading

Yu Hong keenly noticed the boss's pause, and asked doubtfully: "Really? Can you resist hurting others?"

Fang Zhuo pursed his lips: "It's never me who hurts others, but greed."

Yu Hong wanted to applaud her boss.

"Anyway, I have this initial idea now. Young people should add more burdens." Fang Zhuo smoothly turned back to the original topic, "I'll say this first, and then see the board of directors discuss it."

He was silent for a while: "I have always said that rapid development is the best way to solve problems, but rapid development will also encounter bottlenecks. We can't wait until that day to consider the next step of development. A more optimized organizational structure and a more efficient management method are all worthy of attention and exploration. In the next two or three years, I will pay attention to discussing these with the organizers."

Yu Hong looked at the boss who was no longer "confused" and said lightly: "You remind me of a word in Buddhism."

Fang Zhuo listened attentively.

"Thinking and enlightenment." Yu Hong spit out four words.

The problem is not solved all at once. After continuous thinking, you will suddenly have the answer.

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Then I will leave a calligraphy for President Yu before I leave. I hope you can encourage each other."

He has already decided to fly back to China tomorrow.

There is a visit to Europe organized in advance this month. Now not only the domestic group is urging, but also the German side that was contacted before. Deutsche Bank even thinks that they are trying to pull more conditions and has expressed that they can negotiate more favorable loan conditions.

There is no doubt that the two sides can complement each other in many areas.

In particular, international trade under the financial crisis is even more precious.

In addition, some things of the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance need to be dealt with.

"You are a person, only your calligraphy is worth mentioning." Yu Hong praised.

Fang Zhuo was disrespectful to such praise.

However, the next morning, he did not communicate much with President Yu. He first called Geithner, and then reviewed the progress and schedule of the sweep of Yike and some funds. It was time to rush to the airport.

Fang Zhuo did not say goodbye to President Yu again, and wrote down four words in one stroke.

——The accumulated thoughts were suddenly released.

When Yu Hong saw her boss's encouragement, she knew that the Qingzi had taken off.

The next time the Qingzi comes to the United States, it is unknown whether it will be a carnival for short sellers or the disposal of toxic assets.

Yu Hong put away her calligraphy and continued to work.

Today, the boss left the United States, and it was also the time for Yike to start a wave of gifts for the Christmas promotion.

"Temple Run" landed in the software store, and Google and various advertising channels began to release stronger promotional information.

...

Perhaps because he was too tired recently, Fang Zhuo woke up and arrived in China, and it was evening.

The sky was dim, and only the last ray of afterglow remained in the sunset.

He suddenly felt a huge loneliness.

Fang Zhuo stared at the scenery outside the window quietly, all kinds of thoughts rose and disappeared, and for a while he had no interest in speaking.

This continued until he got off the plane and took the car, and the two pieces of news made him suddenly happy again.

"Boss Fang, Mr. Li from Dangdang has called the company several times, wanting to see you." Liu Zonghong reported the news that was still to be processed in China. This was from Boss Su who thought it was not so urgent and could be sent.

Fang Zhuo smiled, nodded, and said the first sentence after getting off the plane: "Arrange it as soon as possible."

There are still friends in China who miss me.

"Boss Ni also called, but he didn't say what it was about." Liu Zonghong said again.

Fang Zhuo wondered: "What about the domestic mobile phone supply chain?"

Liu Zonghong suddenly corrected the wording: "It was Boss Ni from Changhong."

"Oh, old Ni." Fang Zhuo was even happier. Old Ni was a fate that he met by chance. His son is now responsible for the cultivation of Yike mobile phones in the domestic supply chain, and is a closer friend.

However, Old Ni has not been contacted for a while, and now he is contacting the old number in China, which makes it difficult to find the person directly.

Fang Zhuo took advantage of his happy mood and simply looked up the number and called Ni Runfeng, the former head of Changhong.

"Hello, it's me, Fang Zhuo, President Ni. How are you these days?" His tone was quite cheerful. "I just returned to China. The number you called is left in the domestic company."

Although Ni Runfeng retired, his voice is still full of energy: "It's good. I see Changhong and Meiling are prospering, and I see that the LCD strategy is the right direction. There is nothing better than this."

"Yeah, I didn't lie to you. This is Changhong's path to redemption." Fang Zhuo smiled and only said half a sentence. This is also Lao Ni's path to redemption.

"I admire Mr. Fang's vision and methods. Even though I am retired, I often wake up suddenly at midnight and sit on the bed to admire Mr. Fang." Ni Runfeng said seriously.

Fang Zhuo pretended to be unhappy: "What are you talking about? Your son is still in my hands."

"It's because my son is in your hands that I made this call." Ni Runfeng said.

"Let's make it clear first that promotion cannot be done through the back door. Ni Boren has done a good job and there is hope for promotion through normal channels." Fang Zhuo said.

Ni Runfeng smiled and said: "It's not because of this, he doesn't have such a character. In fact, after retirement, the communication between our father and son has been much more than before. Well, during this time, I listened to him talk about Yike's global supply chain. Talking to the domestic supply chain, listening to him talk about Android phones, listening to him talk about the development of smartphones, I don’t know..."

Fang Zhuo suddenly heard some hidden meanings.

Ni Runfeng paused and continued: "I don't know if there is any hope in this attempt. Mr. Fang, if I want to start a mobile phone company again and start again in my twilight years, is now an opportunity?"

Fang Zhuo verified his guess, changed his mind, and said with a smile: "Isn't retirement life good? Wouldn't it be better to urge your son to have a grandson as soon as possible?"

"It's good or bad." Ni Runfeng pondered, "It's almost boring to raise flowers, grass, fish, and dogs. I think Android is developing extremely strongly globally, and it has just started in China. 3G will definitely be released next year. license."

"The hardware supply chain is initially mature and mobile phones can be assembled. The PRO Alliance can license it for free, and the Android system is open source. I feel it is a good opportunity."

Fang Zhuo suppressed his laughter and asked seriously: "Are you sure this is a good opportunity? Are you, an old man, here to develop new intelligence?"

"Confirm, new smartphones, new opportunities and new challenges." Ni Runfeng did not hesitate or pause at this moment, "But I thought about it again and again, and it seems wasteful to leave you, the Android giant, alone. So, what do you think? Sample?"

"You are addicted to your career." Fang Zhuo sighed and then laughed, "I think it's great. I think Android can accommodate OEMs from the other side, well-known manufacturers from neighboring countries, and also entrepreneurs. And , I don’t know who will have the last laugh.”
