Du Chengyi didn't mention the purchase of patents, but instead talked about something that seemed unrelated, which made Williams even more confused.

He took the document in Du Chengyi's hand in disbelief, opened it, and just glanced at it, Williams's hand couldn't help but tremble.

This is a large banker's acceptance, which is a bill issued by Citibank for a deposit account opened with its own bank, guaranteeing the unconditional payment of a certain amount to the payee or bearer on a specified date. If Williams had just read the digits correctly, this is a huge bill of exchange with a maximum limit of one billion dollars.

It was also the largest money order Williams had ever seen.

Judging from the seal above, Williams, who is familiar with the Citibank acceptance draft, preliminarily determined that it was a real draft.

In other words, if Williams takes it to the bank now, it can be converted into cash in his account immediately.

All of a sudden, Williams' heartbeat went into overclocking, running at a limit speed.

"I am very sincere in negotiating with Mr. Williams for the purchase of your company's patents." Du Chengyi said. "Mr. Williams must have seen this Citibank draft just now, so after we successfully negotiated, Mr. Williams must have no doubts about our ability to pay now, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Jeff," Williams said, recovering from the shock of the huge money order. "In that case, let's get started." Williams took two deep breaths and said in a pretended relaxed tone.

However, Rao Williams tried his best to control himself, and Du Chengyi still discovered the true thoughts of the other party from Williams's sharply flashing eyes.

Wealth is moving, and there is nothing more convincing and exciting in the mall than a huge fortune in front of you. Du Chengyi is well versed in this, so he designed such a link.

Now, Williams is really tempted.

"Well, Mr. Williams is really fast-talking." Du Chengyi patted his ass without a trace. "We know that Mr. Williams' company is in a patent infringement lawsuit with Apple, and while it does appear that Apple is infringing your patent rights, it is clear that Apple is not prepared to pay a lot of money for it."

"Jeff, I think at this point, your intelligence is wrong." Williams rolled his eyes and said. "In fact, we're in patent negotiations with Apple for hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation."

"yes, I couldn't have come at the right time." Du Chengyi smiled slightly. "I don't know if Mr. Williams wasted his precious time today, if Mr. Williams is still willing to talk to Apple again, then there really is nothing to talk about between us."

After speaking, Du Chengyi stood up and took back the huge money order placed on the table in front of Williams' eyes.

Williams didn't expect this mysterious investor to be so neatly ready to go. Seeing that the huge bill of exchange was put into Du Chengyi's bag, Williams suddenly seemed to have his heart hollowed out.

"No, no, Jeff, I think you're mistaken." It was a huge bill of exchange of real money, and if he reached an agreement with the other party, this bill of exchange would belong to him one by one, although the amount was definitely not as large as the upper limit, thinking of this, Williams hurriedly said in a loud voice, he did not know the origin and purpose of this mysterious person.

But Williams didn't have to care about any of that, he just needed to know that he could get the huge fortune he had always dreamed of. With this money, Williams can enjoy the rest of his life.

"If we can reach an agreement, then the negotiations with Apple can be canceled at any time. In terms of price, we can also sit down and talk about it. Although Williams knew that Du Chengyi was the head of an investment institution that was going to make patent purchases, Williams really didn't know how much Du Chengyi knew about his negotiations with Apple.

Of course, it is even more unclear how important this thing is to Du Chengyi.

Under this kind of asymmetrical information, Williams is really afraid that Du Chengyi will be scattered now, and he will lose an opportunity to get rich in one fell swoop.

Although Apple's offer is getting higher and higher, after more than $100 million, it is obvious that Apple's personnel are starting to play cold about themselves, often using delaying tactics to deal with themselves, but the bid will never go up again.

The so-called hundreds of millions of dollars in patent negotiations with Apple are just a rhetorical trick by market participants. In fact, the current negotiator on Apple's side has been very disgusted with Williams's lion opening his mouth, claiming that Williams would never want to get this sky-high price of $500 million in his life.

Think about the fact that Nortel's patents were sold for more than 4 billion in total, which is thousands. Even if this patent is the core part, in fact, according to the personal valuation of people familiar with Williams, Apple estimates that it can bid up to $200 million in the end.

But in order to get that amount, Williams doesn't know how long he's going to have to wait. It's like an endurance race between the two sides now, but Williams can't afford it now, and the cost of hiring an intellectual property lawyer is surprisingly high.

Williams really doesn't know how much longer he'll be able to hold out? This is the sadness of Williams as a small person, when he is against a behemoth like Apple, he simply does not have enough strength and power to deal with it to the end, even if the evidence is very favorable to himself, Williams does not have the energy to push the ITC to make a ruling as soon as possible.

If it continues to delay indefinitely, it will only be beneficial to Apple, and maybe Apple will still have the idea of completely dragging the matter out, anyway, they don't care about the lawyer's fees, which is just a drop in the bucket for them.

But Williams now has to stay up with Apple, because the gap between the $500 million that Williams is asking for and the $100 million that Apple is willing to pay is like a bottomless chasm, so that Williams' NDK can only argue and discuss endlessly with Apple's negotiators, and there is no exact point in time for the two sides to reach an agreement that integrates the views of both sides.

Every time I think of this, Williams hates itchy, this is to bully the little people with his wealth, if he wasn't a small company with just a few people, he would have launched a ban application a long time ago, so that Apple had to comply, but unfortunately he didn't have such a big ability.

In the ITC's view, the harm to the public interest caused by the ban is far greater than the harm caused by Apple's infringement of its own patents, because the ITC will never think that it has the ability to turn this patent into a product for sale alone, so the losses it suffers can only be indirect losses.

In this way, the ITC will not support its own measures to ban the sale of Apple products.
