Chapter 185: Calm Layout [Order]
After a grand welcome ceremony at the airport, dozens of luxury motorcades flying the flags of the two countries slowly drove off the airport runway and headed for Intel's headquarters in Santa Clara, 40 kilometers away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thanks to the halfway way through the arrival of California Governor Schwarzenegger, the already eye-catching motorcade was temporarily joined by several police cars to clear the way.
After arriving at the destination, Intel arranged a five-star hotel as a temporary accommodation for Li Mubai to recuperate after a long journey.
"Oh my God~ Is there something big going on at Intel today? I actually saw the CEOs of several top technology groups in Silicon Valley gathered here!" Olivia, a science and technology reporter who has been squatting in Santa Clara for a long time, watched with joy as one luxury car after another stopped in front of the Intel headquarters building.
Immediately afterwards, one after another Silicon Valley bigwigs who could be called appeared in front of her, which made her desperately break through the barrier of the security personnel, pounced in front of a bigwig who was about to enter the door, and handed the microphone up vigorously, "Mr. Paul, can you tell me why you are visiting Intel with the presidents of several Silicon Valley companies today? What is going on here?"
Dr. Paul Jacob, who was blocked by the choppy beauty reporters, smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, no comment!"
Olivia, who did not give up, was not discouraged, but continued to entangle, "Is Qualcomm about to reach a cooperation with Intel in some fields?"
This is big news, and Olivia is desperate to get first-hand information from Qualcomm Chairman Paul Jacob, who knows how much of an impact it will have in the United States and even the world, and even make her go crazy with excitement.
"Sorry, ma'am, please leave, it's not press time. The dedicated bodyguard decisively came up to block the reporter and escorted Paul into the door quickly.
"Oh my God, I don't think we should stay in this damn place, maybe I should have put all my savings out and buy the shares of two companies, they're going to go crazy. The strong man with the camera couldn't wait to say.
"Really, hell, you still have savings?" Olivia was denied an interview, and was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger, and his snarky tone almost didn't make the strong man die of shame, "With your poor savings that your credit card is overdrawn and can't be paid off in ten years?"
"Damn, I just spent a little extra money in the place that men love the most!" the strong man shook his head disapprovingly, and the thought of investing in the stocks of the two companies quickly faded with the shriveled purse.
The presidents of Silicon Valley technology companies visiting Intel's headquarters today are not only Qualcomm, but they have even seen presidents and vice presidents from Microsoft, IBM, Motorola, Amazon, Apple, Google, Cisco, Oracle, Amex and other large companies.
In short, the super technology groups that can be called in the United States have sent their own personnel to participate in this feast of cooperation with Oriental Boys.
Of course, Intel did not forget to send an invitation to AMD, another American hardware group, but the latter thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate to be an honest member of Intel's antitrust program.
"Dear Lee, I can't wait to learn all about your genius plans. In the hotel, Barrett exaggerated his emotions to Li Mubai more than once.
Li Mubai had just changed into a pure white suit and was about to invite Xiao Qian to dinner, although the private jet provided all kinds of food, he didn't have much appetite, and now he was a little hungry.
"Of course, you'll see the whole plan soon!" Li Mubai was a little unsure of how to face this little naughty old man, he was too excited, and the bulging green tendons made Li Mubai worry about whether it would burst in the next moment.
For this historic meeting, Li Mubai specially prepared for a whole day, and all kinds of new technical models and descriptions were enough to make the waiting crowd boil.
Immediately after a hearty French meal, he met with a team of 10 senior lawyers from the San Diego Bar Association.
In the presence of Mr. Barrett, Mr. Li handed over a cardboard box that he had brought with him, and Mr. Capel, a barrister who was a partner at a San Diego law firm, presented a 162-page legal contract.
To this end, Capel patiently explained, "Dear Mr. Li, I believe that you have spent a full $80 million to hire our entire team for five years, and during this period, we will provide you with the best quality legal advice without reservation!"
"Of course, I didn't pay such a high price to hire you to enjoy life. Li Mubai nodded undeniably, stretched out his hand to take the contract and quickly browsed it.
With $16 million a year, the law firm employs 10 senior barristers and hundreds of paralegals and interns to provide Li Mubai with exclusive legal aid, not including additional court proceedings, which will cost Li Mubai even more if he reaches the stage of court debate.
This ~ is the United States!
You have money to enjoy everything!
Li Mubai's countless key technologies in his hands may attract the prying eyes of countless people, and they are even willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in infringement damages, but they will never compromise in front of interests, which is the meaning of the existence of senior barristers!
Li Mubai, who signed his name on the last page of the model contract, knew that he could finally give it a go, "Now, it's time for you to work, each of you has signed a special confidentiality agreement with me, and if the contents of any of the documents in this carton are leaked, then what awaits him will be hundreds of millions of dollars in claims and decades in prison." ”
Before that, Amex had already done everything, and it only took one day for more than 130 lawyers at the San Diego law firm to sign non-disclosure contracts ranging from tens of millions to $1 billion in breach of contract.
Of course, this will cost Li Mubai millions of dollars in additional expenses, but compared to the considerable benefits that are about to be obtained, who cares!
"Of course, generous boss, our entire office will be happy to serve you!" Capel said with a smile, and then quickly left, escorted by specially hired gun-wielding security guards from the eight vaults.
Barrett looked at the rather heavy cardboard box with keen eyes, and he knew that there was a whole undeveloped mountain of gold buried there.
"Okay, put away those thoughts! It's exactly what you think, but now should we work together on how to get this big cake as soon as possible?"
The $100 million interest-free loan he got from Intel hadn't been hot, and more than 80 million yuan was thrown out in a blink of an eye, Li Mubai's pocket dried up in an instant, and he desperately wanted to earn more money from the extra place, as well as ~ respectable status!
Barrett became even more frenzied, staring at the magical boy in front of him, "Why not! I think they should all be in a hurry." ”
The distance between the hotel and Intel's headquarters is not far, but from the moment Li Mubai set off to the time he actually walked into the venue, the waiting crowd was like a year, suffering every minute and every second.
In particular, Motorola and Apple have struggled the most.
They have pinpointed the path of Orange Tech's future development through private intelligence gathering - smartphones?
Isn't that a conflict with your own business?
If before today, someone had told them that a small Oriental company was ready to enter the mobile phone market and could overthrow Motorola and Apple, they would have thought that they were crazy and dreamy.
But now, when they look at the CEOs of the large companies in the venue, who sit in a standard posture like elementary school students going to school, the representatives of the two companies can't laugh.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to welcome our most distinguished guest--- Mr. Li Mubai from the East. With the speech of the moderator of the meeting, there was a standing ovation in the conference room.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the door of the venue, where an Oriental with his own unique magnetic field strode in.
Behind him was Barrett, the chairman of Intel's board of directors, who was like a fox following the tiger and enjoying the cheers of the audience.
"Hell, Intel is already in the lead in this competition, which is not good news for us. Larry Page, the founder and former CEO of Google, whispered to the current CEO of Eric Sitt.
The latter shook his head, "It's not that we don't have what he wants, at least he made a request to us through the Express Company to package and acquire the Android studio as a whole, maybe we can use this as a bargaining chip to get enough benefits." ”
"Android Studios?is the project that Andy Robin is responsible for?" Larry Page has some impressions of Android, a mobile phone operating company that was quietly acquired by Google in 2005 for $40 million.
Recently, Google is preparing to build it into an open R&D consortium involving all the world's leading hardware and software vendors.
In short, Google is not ready to make extra profits on Android, but just wants to use this phone system to promote Google's technology and expand the market.
Eric Schmidt nodded, "Yes, due to the impact of the mature Symbian (Nokia) system in the market, Android was in trouble at the beginning, and we didn't have enough time and energy to deal with unscrupulous competitors, which is not our main business." Especially Apple, whose aggressive momentum oppresses us and we have to back down for a while. ”
"Let's see what he can offer. Larry Page was curious to see how much of a pie this extraordinary Oriental boy could give up on Google willingly give up on Android, but he was also very confident that he had read the special report submitted to Intel.
Most of the people here today have seen it, otherwise they wouldn't have come, would they?!
