Chapter 690: Three Press Conferences

readx;? / Division held a press conference in time to clarify the speculation that the stock price decline may cause, Jobs did not participate at all, and before the Apple press conference was over, suddenly a technology company established for half a month also held a press conference on Wall Street, claiming that Apple's big-selling product iPod-Mini infringed on the company's 583 patents, and formally filed a lawsuit。 Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why the press conference of the small company was held on Wall Street was to tell some small and medium-sized financial institutions not to participate indiscriminately, and Kay soon heard about it, and the expression on his face was obviously stunned, and he suddenly understood that all this was manipulated by the Morgan family, and found an excuse to immediately return to Wall Street to inquire about the situation, and if possible, to make a profit from this shareholder wind.

Before Apple's press conference was over, news came from Wall Street, Levinson's face changed when he heard it, and he was about to end the interview session early, but how could the reporters let him get his wish, and pointed questions were thrown out one by one.

"Is it true that a company is claiming that the iPod mini infringes as many as 583 patents?"

"The company has officially filed a lawsuit with a claim of up to $10 billion, and if it wins, Apple will go bankrupt outright, what does Levinson think?"

"Could you please explain to Mr. Jobs, Apple's innovative philosophy has been greatly questioned. ”

It's simply the best news spot.

In a series of unsettled cases, Soni also held a brief press conference in Boston, claiming that iPod-Mini infringed on 299 patents of the company, and it was the lawsuit that demanded $2 billion in claims.

The leak happened to rain overnight, and before Levinson could figure out how to face the media, there was bad news one after another, no company dared to sue for no reason, and the amount of claims was so staggering, if it was not relied on, it was crazy, and the litigation costs alone were a lot of money.

Sooni, his old rival of a year and a half, jumped out, and Levinson felt a serious gaffe.

"America is a free society, and we can't stop anyone from doing their duty, leaving everything to the facts. After Levinson said this, he quickly took a stand.

Apple has been investing a lot of money in research and development, applying for thousands of patents every year, and before developing a product, it is first protected and developed, as the most popular product, how can it infringe on so many patents, the elite engaged in the financial industry immediately realized the problem, and after Kay left, many people followed suit.

Water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and a discerning person can immediately see that the general trend has changed, and the general trend is coming, and he cannot fight, but can only obey.

Levinson was in Jobs's office, Jobs's face was clouded, the news came, he only had one idea, and finally came, that young man was too calm, he didn't expect to play a big one, iPod-mini has always had hidden dangers, he knows, has been waiting, directly enter the Chinese market to curb the sound master, as one of the bargaining chips in the negotiation, I didn't expect to not negotiate at all, meet each other, big layout.

"Prepare 200 million funds to deal with lawsuits. Jobs said simply.

"Is there any possibility of a settlement?" Levinson asked hopefully, adding that even if the lawsuit was successful, the damage would be immeasurable, and the newly rising stock price was likely to fall to the bottom again.

"Nope. Once again, Jobs' stubbornness worked.

"Then the shareholders are likely to disagree, and you will face a lot of repression, and I will try to appease them. Levinson sighed, this time the splints on both sides were inevitable.

"Thank you. Jobs's eyes were blazing, and he regretted it a little in his heart, he never expected that the iPod-mini sales would be so hot and help Apple reach a new height, but it was too late to say anything, if he had expected all this, he would have agreed to the kid's request, and now he doesn't think too much.

He is a face-loving person, and since he has torn his face, he is hard to the end.

Shareholders must never be made aware of this, otherwise the pressure will be even greater.

"Six months ago, our stock price was only $8, and no matter how much it fell, it couldn't go anywhere, and that's how people can face bad, bad situations, and once you get and lose it, you can collapse very quickly. Jobs suddenly said something philosophical.

Levinson didn't understand, and said quietly: "This is human nature." ”

Yes, no one can change human nature.

"Steve, you've always been very eloquent, why don't you hold a press conference to give shareholders some confidence? ”

"No, no matter how much the stock price falls, our shareholders will receive generous dividends, which is the only thing I can promise and deliver. Jobs was so tough that Levinson had to retreat silently.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Jobs's mood was extremely bad, Apple's situation was very good, very smooth, but such things happened halfway, but he started.

Didn't say a word.

Cook has been following, and after a little guess, he understands the key, all this must be related to Liu Chen, and he also sighed, no one would have imagined that a lucky Chinese boy who had risen for more than a year could make such a big move in the United States.

On this day, it was a huge disaster for almost every shareholder, Apple's stock price stabilized at $20 for a while, until after the press conference of the two companies, it collapsed again, all the way down to $14, if it is not for the closing time, I am afraid it will continue to decline.

The eastern sky reveals a white morning light.

Liu Chen stretched his waist, this night, he spent the night in tension and excitement, fully comprehended the power of capital, it is no exaggeration to say, made a hundred million dollars, there is no stock in the account, before the market closed all the shorts, Apple's stock price will fall further, but he does not want to continue to spend time and energy to wait, no one can guarantee to completely step on the extreme point.

It's much faster than making an entity, but Liu Chen really doesn't like it, this kind of stimulation affects his mentality very much, just like a gambler, who is used to making a lot of money easily, so he can't calm down and do some ordinary work.

This is different from Liu Chen's consistent outlook on life and worldview.

Jin Dong'er walked out sleepily, saw Liu Chen sitting in front of the computer, and muttered, "Why do you get up so early, what time is it?" ”

This girl is also really big, and she doesn't know how to get to the hotel, and she sleeps peacefully all night and wakes up so calmly. (To be continued.) )
