If there is an INS this year, then Roland can become popular all over the Internet as long as he announces his daily schedule.

At the same time, things like 'A Happy Day for a Billionaire', 'Self-Discipline is the Beginning of Freedom', 'The Real Difference Between the Rich and the Poor', 'The Terrible Thing in the World Is Not Being Poor, It's People Who Have Richer Than You Work Harder Than You!'" ' and other favorite sand sculpture titles from the media can capture the attention of countless netizens.

Why?

Because within 24 hours, Roland flew more than 6,000 kilometers across two countries and three cities, and talked about a 100 billion project!

Well, don't talk about it.

Although on the day he returned home, Roland flew to Silicon Valley to ask the insiders for what happened, and after chatting, he flew home in the afternoon, this kind of trapeze life did make him physically and mentally exhausted, but compared to the information he received, everything was worth it.

Of course, what really affected his mood was not the real story of 'My Lawyer Dad', which is similar to the title of the essay, but the fight between the rich people that shook the world the day after returning home.

The day after Steve Jobs told Roland that 'money isn't that easy to earn,' Apple issued a public statement right after coming to work, saying that federal support for innovation was a good thing, and that it was a good thing that Microsoft was able to reach a settlement with the federation.

But at the same time as the settlement was reached, the disguised compensation related to the education industry in the compensation clause was actually an unfair competition, and he hoped that the federal government would re-examine the settlement terms that were about to be finalized with Microsoft, and Microsoft should agree that the schools that received the donation could use all the unclaimed funds to purchase any technology products, rather than choosing Microsoft alone.

Just looking at the statement, no one can see the problem.

Because as Microsoft's old rival, Apple is dissing the other party's monopoly in the open!

The grievances and grievances between Apple and Microsoft are all old melons!

Not to mention that it's not sweet, even the skin has been gnawed by someone!

In this case, Apple's statement is an ordinary bombardment in the eyes of the public.

Due to the huge difference in the size of the two sides, the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning.

But just when everyone thought that this kind of voice was just the struggle of the weak, and Microsoft would not respond at all, Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft, publicly accused Steve Jobs that morning, saying that he was rubbing Microsoft's popularity.

"I wonder how a settlement agreement that the Department of Justice agrees with has become unfair competition in the eyes of Mr. Steve Jobs. If your idea is the law of our country, then I believe that with your temper, Amerigard will be renamed the Apple Empire. If you really think that you have a lot of time, you can use the energy of envy us Microsoft to research better products, as far as I know, the new product you launched this month, the Power Mac G4 Cube, and the Power Mac G4 are not much different? But the price is two hundred dollars more? If this improvement is your best effort, then I think your shareholders will be furious. ”

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh！

Σ(°△°|||) ︴

Steve Ballmer's yin and yang response stunned those who thought the old melon was tasteless!

Since the rise of Windows and Apple's market dominance was replaced by Microsoft, Microsoft has not looked at Apple with its eyes!

Regardless of whether Apple took the initiative to take the lead and came up with a joint lawsuit against Microsoft, or reprimanded it all the year round and made Microsoft's ugly face public, whenever these hostile attacks appeared, Microsoft could always respond with a simple posture of breezy and calm, never facing it head-on, and it seemed to argue with it, which was a brainless move.

That kind of high-minded attitude makes people accustomed to Apple's impotent rage, and when one day, the guy in the clouds suddenly comes down in person and responds fiercely to the refutation of the ants, giving people the feeling that it is like learning that fairies who don't eat fireworks in the world can actually pull stinks, extremely stunned!

"Oh my God! Microsoft actually responded to Apple's accusations? What's going on? ”

"I knew Steve Ballmer was tougher than Bill Gates, but I didn't expect it to be so tough!"

"Is this a vent after reaching an antitrust settlement with the Department of Justice?"

"There's a good show! Steve Jobs was also a grumpy! ”

The mutual confrontation between Microsoft and Apple instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

And when everyone was talking about how Steve Jobs would respond to Steve Ballmer's attack, Apple's CEO, who should have been very busy, gave the people what they wanted the most directly at noon that day.

"Is it also a mistake to state the facts? Isn't it your real purpose to turn the settlement into another means of monopolizing the market? And, Mr. Steve Ballmer, since you think our company's Power Mac G4 Cube is not good, then what kind of products can form a real core competitiveness of your company? ”

"Didn't you originally write Microsoft DOS for IBM from Tim Patterson of Seattle Computer Co. Ltd.? Isn't your Windows 1.0 just a copy of my Mac OS? Didn't you get your data software services through the acquisition of Fox? Isn't your Internet Explorer Spyglass Mosaic bought? Didn't you start your current email service through the acquisition of Hotmail? ”

"Since the founding of your Microsoft company, you haven't launched a product that is truly your own! The Department of Justice doesn't split you because it feels like you're in line with the philosophy of driving innovation, but what about the facts? You will never expand the market yourself, you will only wait for others to do it first, and then follow the trend to acquire! ”

"You guys are the least innovative company in America!"

Cow beep!

The response of the knife made the people who eat melons very excited!

Although the whole world knows that Bill Gates and Paul Allen only entered the business with the idea of playing tickets at the beginning of their business, so they hastily split and merged the words microcomputer and software to form the name Microsoft without any new ideas, but ...... Just because you know it doesn't mean you can say it!

Just like many people know that it was Bill Gates who first helped him get orders from IBM to write key operating system software for PCs, and then Microsoft started to do DOS, this kind of entrepreneurial road similar to pretending to be a woman to chat with is actually just a private conversation of everyone, if you really put it on the table and say it, isn't it Chi Guoguo's slap in the face?

The point is that now Steve Jobs' behavior of publicly exposing his bottom in front of Steve Ballmer is no different from a brawl in which he directly takes off his shoes and pumps each other's faces.

This kind of coolness does not come from the scolding war between the two sides, nor from the mutual disclosure of the two people, nor from Microsoft's dissatisfaction with the anti-monopoly case and Yahoo's proposed acquisition, but the billionaire's splashing skin!

Who was Steve Jobs?

Apple's Godfather! Owner of Pixar Animation! A super-rich man with a net worth of more than a billion!

Who is Steve Ballmer?

The first commercial manager personally hired by Bill Gates! Microsoft's current helmsman! A super-rich man with a net worth of more than a billion!

When the unattainable successful people in the eyes of the people roll up their sleeves and fist to the flesh, open their mouths and spit fragrant......

Even if they scold things that people already know, they can still make the front page headlines of major media!

So, that night, various media companies released the news that Apple and Microsoft were fighting.

Because of the clarity of the incident, by the time the show aired, the world knew that Apple had already shown its displeasure with Microsoft when the companies were evaluating the settlement between the America Department of Justice and Microsoft.

Not only that, but Bill Gates' old adversary, Steve Jobs, also found a loophole in the settlement agreement between Microsoft and the Federation.

When the news spread around the world, the sky cleared, the rain stopped, and the European Union, which I felt I could do, jumped out again.

Just as the National Transportation Safety Board questioned Airbus's safety standards, the European Union questioned whether there was a problem with the criteria for judging America's Antitrust Act.

If there is no question, then how can a company that has grown through acquisitions be called a representative of driving innovation?

When the EU caught Microsoft's grip and hit back in the shortest possible time......

Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo has actually settled the dust.

Why?

Because of the contradiction between Apple and Microsoft, it is a step for the EU!

The day after the incident, the scolding battle between Steve Ballmer and Steve Jobs also escalated, and by the third day, they had even moved away from the normal product bashing and entered the street scolding stage.

Steve Jobs angrily blasted Microsoft as a thief, and Steve Ballmer put the label butcher on the other person's head.

Steve Jobs angrily blasted Microsoft as a bandit, and Steve Ballmer branded the other party as a tyrant.

Steve Jobs angrily scolded Microsoft for, and Steve Ballmer told the fact that the other party abandoned his wife and daughter.

And then......

It exploded.

Just as people can't believe that Steve Jobs can expose Microsoft's uninnovative spirit while attacking Microsoft, when Steve Ballmer fished out Steve Jobs's old, in the eyes of the public, he just wanted to criticize Microsoft, and the Apple godfather who took advantage of the verbal advantage couldn't bear it anymore.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Steve Jobs flew to Seattle.

Stormed into the Microsoft building with his bare hands and had an offline PK with Steve Ballmer.

When the footage of the real-life brawl was faithfully recorded by the media who happened to pass by, the people who saw the video were really shocked this time!

Because no one thought that things would develop to such a point!

"Did you really hit someone?"

"Jobs bought a plane ticket to Seattle just to kill Ballmer?"

"Do it without beeping, this behavior is too cool!"

And just when people were wondering how this farce should end, the Seattle police who intervened in the investigation also issued an incident report, which said: "Steve Jobs felt that the settlement agreement submitted by Microsoft to the Department of Justice had implicit misleading clauses, and those clauses did not conform to the market spirit of fair competition, so he made accusations, and after encountering Steve Ballmer's nonsense, he felt angry and came to Microsoft headquarters." ’

At first glance, this is just an ordinary description of events.

But a closer look reveals that between the lines, there is a bias in the overflow report.

On the surface, the Seattle police didn't say anything about the settlement between the Department of Justice and Microsoft, but in reality, they explained everything with Steve Ballmer's nonsense!

Even they think that the act of acquiring just after reconciliation is outrageous!

Such a development has made the EU applaud loudly, and the relevant comments on the dispute incident have been issued one after another.

Not only that, but they also pretended to advocate justice, and decided to launch a formal investigation into Apple's suppression of the European market by Microsoft, which is expected to issue a huge fine to Microsoft.

And when things came to this point, Microsoft's stock price also fell, and this situation made Bill Gates, who was sitting at home waiting for the results, couldn't help it, and stood up and said that he hoped that Steve Jobs would calm down quickly.

Everyone has known each other for so many years, so you can sit down and have a good talk.

But how can such a pretext be accepted by a tyrant?

Steve Jobs, who has returned to Silicon Valley, directly rejected Bill Gates' proposal and then sent a letter to the Justice Department asking them to revisit the terms of the settlement submitted by Microsoft.

When the ball was kicked to the Ministry of Justice, the farce came to an end.

When the Department of Justice invited Steve Jobs to the headquarters to listen to Microsoft's number one sworn enemy on the whole thing, and learned that Apple felt that the clause that "PC manufacturers are free to choose the operating system" did not meet the survival needs of a company like Apple that produced its own computers, and did not consider the influence of a company that only sells software on this clause, the Department of Justice invited major computer hardware manufacturers to hold a discussion.

The closed-door meeting lasted two days, and when the Justice Department held a press conference on the morning of the third day, the final result was officially released - the Justice Department will not overturn and modify the decision that has been made, and will still maintain the previous settlement agreement with Microsoft, but at the same time, in consideration of the ' After the 'PC manufacturer is free to choose the operating system' clause is not entirely fair to computer manufacturers who produce their own systems, they suggested that hardware manufacturers should measure their cooperation with non-Windows OS PC manufacturers by the same standards they treat PC manufacturers using Windows OS.

To be reasonable, this kind of proposal, which has not been formally documented, is of no use.

Because hardware manufacturers can completely ignore the Ministry of Justice!

Computer manufacturers using the Windows operating system are all about volume, so of course they can get a relatively low hardware price, and since the computer manufacturers with the non-Windows operating system can't go out of the volume, the unit price will increase accordingly, no problem!

But just when everyone thought that Apple was just arguing lonely, Intel, which has maintained a good cooperation with Microsoft all the year round, suddenly announced that it was willing to treat Apple with the same standards as computer manufacturers using the Windows operating system, and they could sign a five-year supply agreement with Apple, and in the next five years, Apple will get the same CPU price as other manufacturers.

Such a response was unexpected by everyone!

Later, Intel announced that if it successfully acquired ATi, then they could also reach a supply agreement with Apple on the graphics card project, and give innovation support in an affordable way!

Not only that, but they also decided to abandon the idea of acquiring the entire stake in ATi, and invited Apple's largest shareholder, Shouwang Ventures, to jointly complete the acquisition to ensure the validity of the agreement!

If Intel's emergence made people confused, then when Steve Jobs gladly accepted Intel's kindness and announced to the world that Apple will release the world's first Mac OS X based on the FreeBSD system next month to challenge the market position of Windows, and released a bold statement to end the mistakes he made......

The EU is already stupid.

Why doesn't the EU want to see Microsoft buy Yahoo?

That's not because of the monopoly of the operating system and the Internet!

As long as these two items are there, it is impossible for them to agree to this acquisition unconditionally!

But the problem is that monopoly can be solved!

Because there's more than just Windows on the market!

When Apple got Intel's low-cost supply order under the mediation of the Ministry of Justice, although the fact of monopoly was not solved, Apple's opportunity to challenge Microsoft has been infinitely raised, and at the same time, Apple has obtained Intel's graphics card supply commitment after acquiring ATi, so ...... The pressure is actually on the EU's side.

Right!

We really didn't solve the problem of Microsoft's monopoly!

But by intervening, we helped Apple, which has the best chance to challenge Microsoft in the market, clear the cost barrier!

We're trying to build a company that can compete with Microsoft!

In this case, do you approve Intel's acquisition of ATi?

If you approve it, then you are just like us, supporters of orderly competition in the market!

If you don't approve it, then you are the demons who support the market monopoly!

And while Microsoft loses its price advantage over Apple, is acquiring Yahoo still a problem?

Their core business will be seriously threatened in the next five years, and the acquisition of Yahoo will not be able to maintain a monopoly position.

So......

The steps have been found for you, but you can't get down?

If not, the National Transportation Safety Board will continue to exert pressure.

In fact, all mergers and acquisitions between giants are to ensure that they have stronger competitiveness in the market, and the anti-monopoly review generated in this case is actually just a mutual check and balance between violent institutions.

If you want to swallow our market, I also want to swallow your market, you want your company to become bigger, and I also want my company to become bigger.

The so-called anti-monopoly review is just an excuse for double standards, and it is the fist that can really determine the success of the acquisition.

Whoever has a big fist, whose word is the truth!

Not to mention the present, even ten years from now, the EU will not be able to harden in front of America.

If they can really be tough, then they will not issue huge fines to technology companies such as Google, Apple, and Microsoft every day, but ban them like they do with other companies, and let them get out of the European market!

But the question is, does he dare in the EU?

Can't.

Cuisine!

And in the case that it can't be hard, when America gives red dates and sticks......

Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo and Intel's acquisition of ATi immediately entered the process of careful review, and similarly, the National Transportation Safety Board of the United States also set up an investigation team to invite technical personnel from various countries to investigate Airbus' safety standards.

If nothing else, the result of these three events will be born on the same day.

The seven-day farce seemed to have no result, but Roland knew that he had already made a profit.

In order to swallow Yahoo, Microsoft must establish itself as an enemy that looks perfectly capable of defeating itself on the surface.

And in order for this enemy to be a 'threat' to itself in a short period of time, it is necessary to constantly increase it.

As a result, while Apple was eating support, Roland, as Apple's largest shareholder, enjoyed rich dividends.

This bonus is a temporary binding of Microsoft and a forcible devouring of ATi.

And when all the businesses were connected, Roland finally understood what life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

Compared with these old capitalists who drive wolves for the sake of the market, the actors on the screen are the group of people with the worst acting skills.

Because the latter loses, at most they change careers, and the former loses......

That's to lose everything!
