Chapter 187: Little Trouble
successfully fell into a tangled state, mainly thinking about what to torture that guy into, so that he would be happy.
From a logical point of view, the other party has to harm Ye Dongqing first, and then he can take revenge reasonably, but the other party has nothing to do with him in this life, even if he stands in front of Todd Hankins, he doesn't know who Ye Dongqing is.
The normal process is from being killed to taking revenge, and now the previous link is missing, just like Ye Dongqing is actively bullying that guy, and it is the kind of "no reason", no matter how you think about it, you are aggrieved.
I don't want to just forget it, as for how many hands to play, this point needs to be thought again......
The next afternoon, after signing the will, it was notarized at the law firm of Baker & McKenzie.
Originally, after finishing this trivial matter, Ye Dongqing was about to go to the company to have a look, but a bald old lawyer suddenly came over and whispered: "Leo, right, I received news that someone is eyeing your Facebook and is going to sue it for infringement." ”
This sentence confused Ye Dongqing, and stretched out his hand and said, "It's me, may I ask who you are?"
"Memo Hartman, a senior partner in Baker McKenzie's New York office, also holds the position of senior vice president, and what I just said is true, there is a ...... A friend leaked the news after getting drunk, and by the way, according to my guess, the other party should be someone hired by Google. ”
After Ye Dongqing heard the word "Google", he immediately believed that there was really such a thing, and the two companies did not have much competition before, it was nothing more than a competition for advertising manufacturers, which belonged to fair competition.
But then it's different, a few months ago, Google began to develop a social platform similar to Facebook, and it should be put into use soon, if you don't kill and cripple Facebook, it will be difficult for their own products to get on the top, empathy, Ye Dongqing feels that if he is a shareholder of Google, he will also choose to do something to Facebook that has nothing to do with him.
In May, Google tried to raise funds for FB, but Ye Dongqing did not agree, and now the disadvantages of not having a partner have been highlighted, and it is impossible to form a patent balance with Google, and if they really grasp something, he will fall into a very passive situation.
Entrepreneurship is not like this, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, a few years ago Google was also a small shrimp, and now it has grown into a shark, starting a series of mergers and acquisitions, and peripheral products based on browser business are also being launched one after another.
He asked the most important question: "So will that friend of yours also tell you what they are trying to sue me for?"
"You're a valued customer of our company, Google isn't, and although I'd love to help you, he only gave us this information, and you should arrange a review to see if there is any infringement of Google or other companies' patents. After speaking, Memo Hartman patted Ye Dongqing on the shoulder and strode away.
To be honest, Ye Dongqing felt that this old man's words could not be fully believed, and it was very likely that he did not tell all the news, but if he thought about it carefully, it was actually right, if there was no dispute, how could this law firm make money? It is said that lawyers love clients who are easy to cause trouble, which means that money is rolling in.
Rather believe it, decisively call Mr. Alfred, and ask him to arrange the most comprehensive and detailed internal review to avoid crossing the patent red line, the Internet industry is also deep, technology has developed to the present, there are hundreds of thousands of messy patents, even just because of a small problem, it will put FB in a predicament.
On the way back to Puchuan Building by car, Ye Dongqing came up with the most direct way to kill FB - using patents to achieve the purpose of banning it globally, as long as it is banned for ten days and half a month, it is enough to drive all the current users into the arms of Google.
Now that the news of the lawsuit has begun to spread, I believe that it is not far from getting the court summons, and it is useless to worry at present, so I can only wait for Google to make the first move, so I simply don't think about it anymore.
I got used to it smoothly in the front, but now that the benefits are beginning to be so big that they make others blush, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of all kinds of small troubles.
****************
Some time has passed since Ms. Vigo started her own business, and the company they are partnering with is called "Atlantic Medical Fund", which, as the name suggests, mainly invests in pharmaceutical stocks, which has recently been considered a hot industry.
Copied Ye Dongqing's set, distributed leaflets and gave speeches everywhere, trying to attract investors with a rate of return of 6 percent, and several partners personally went into battle, picking out those relatively backward states, and even accepting small investments of a few hundred dollars, and they were busy for more than a month, and they really got more than two million US dollars.
Unlike freshwater funds, their rate of return is not guaranteed, up to six percent, if they lose money, it is the investor's own loss, and they also have to pay management fees and transaction fees, which is also a helpless thing, Ms. Vigo has no confidence to make crazy money like Ye Dongqing, and futures don't even dare to touch it, so she has to find ways to increase her income.
Similarly, the current chairman of the NASDAQ, Bernard Madoff, is also raising funds with a high rate of return, and has been starting his business for two years, and his Madoff company is known as "one of the three major brokerage companies providing listing consulting on the NASDAQ stock market", and the third largest brokerage company on the New York Stock Exchange, through his past connections, he has easily raised more than 4 billion US dollars, and has returned more than 14% in the past two years.
Freshwater Investment Group is much worse than it, except that the former is backed by profits, and the latter is a pure Ponzi scheme, using the money of new investors to pay dividends, and this point of no return has succeeded in scaring Bernard Madoff, because he has caused a deficit of more than $500 million, more than double his entire net worth.
Recently, Ye Dongqing's name broke into the old man's sight, so much so that the old man thought that he was like himself, and he was also playing tricks to cheat money, and he didn't have the idea of careful investigation, so he said in an interview that he needed to be wary of this kind of high-yield financial product, as if he was stepping on Ye Dongqing, trying to divert the host's attention.
After the broadcast of this program, Tamsui Investment Group suddenly had a divestment crisis, the total amount was not much, more than 3 million US dollars were withdrawn by investors in advance in just one day, if it wasn't for his subordinates telling Ye Dongqing, he didn't know about it at all.
At this moment.
The new CEO, Mr. McCord, sat opposite him, and Ye Dongqing shook his head with a smile after listening to the cause and effect: "This old man...... Rest assured, I'll take the time to talk to Mr. Madoff, and if nothing else, I'll agree to apologize to me.
You first ask someone to write an announcement, accuse him of false statements, and release the performance since its establishment and the current total assets to show them, just like the financial reports of listed companies......"
