Chapter 3006: Xiang Zhuang's Sword Dance
quit? Feng Yiping immediately asked, "Are they with you?"
"Yes," Cummins glanced at the two people who were about to get in the car.
"Let them listen to the phone,"
Are you ready to support me? "Kidder, Krzanich," Cummins took the phone and walked quickly towards the two people who were ready to give up.
"Sorry Cummins," said Charlie Kidder, "I know..."
"Von's phone," Cummins interrupted, handing him the phone.
Feng Yiping’s phone number? Kidder really didn't want to take it, but it was already stuffed in his hand, so he couldn't help but take it.
Bryan Kozanqi, who was a little further away, had some advantages in this regard. When Cummins called him, he was also walking this way, but when he heard the words behind him, he paused and took out his mobile phone, "Yes. of……"
As he spoke, he walked to the car.
Feng Yiping's call at this time was definitely not to encourage them. In this case, why not move quickly?
Charlie Kidder looked at the vice president of Intel who escaped by borrowing the phone with some envy. This guy was indeed as unreliable as ever. He cheered up and said politely, "Hello, Feng,"
"I heard that you are ready to give up now?" Feng Yiping asked straight to the point.
Sure enough, this is the case, and at this time, what else could it be?
"Feng, I'm sorry..."
"I don't want to hear any apology," Feng Yiping interrupted him very forcefully, "Only cowards say sorry."
Charlie Kidder immediately regretted it, why the hell should I answer this call?
Although he knew that there were not many people who could directly "enjoy" criticism like Feng Yiping, but as a dignified Microsoft executive, how could he be willing to listen to criticism from someone who was not his boss?
His face suddenly turned cold.
Feng Yiping did not care about his feelings at all, "There is no room for cowards in our alliance, and at this time, there is no need for cowards,"
Cummings, who was standing next to him, was as surprised as Kidder. How could Feng be like this?
Even in the company, Feng Du rarely got angry with anyone like this, let alone outsiders.
This is not right!
Then he thought again, could Feng be like this?
He was suddenly a little worried. People from Microsoft are so powerful, so how will Feng criticize me later?
The situation is now clear. If the auction is to be successful, Android will most likely have to fight alone.
In this way, even if Apple's alliance can be defeated, the price will not be small at all.
Yes, the US$4 billion they asked Intel's Krzanich to quote was the highest price they could accept. Now it seems that Android will need at least US$4.6 billion to succeed.
This must be $4.5 billion, which is the highest price Apple has in mind.
Compared with US$4 billion, this will increase at least US$600 million, which is not a small number.
He heard that the boss was still giving very stern warnings, or teaching Kidder, "...At this time, what we need is to actively work together to deal with it..."
"...Yes, the current problem is mainly about the quotation, but is there no other way to think of?"
"There's none?"
"Obviously not!"
"For example, can't we break up Apple's alliance?" he gave an example.
"Has there been any attempt to contact BlackBerry and bring them over to force Apple to withdraw their offer?"
"...Have you ever thought about bringing the RPX Alliance back to further share our auction costs?"
"I believe that as long as you have a direction, you will be able to come up with many solutions. The key is that you have to use your own subjective initiative..."
“…has Microsoft always been so good at giving up?”
Charlie Kidder, the head of Microsoft's Windows Phone department and reporting directly to Microsoft CEO Ballmer, was criticized by Feng Yiping. At this time, he finally didn't bother to control his emotions and said in a cold voice, "Feng, I'm just right. Microsoft is responsible,”
I'm not your subordinate, why should I be criticized like this?
"I believe Cummins would rather hear these suggestions from you," he directly returned the phone to Cummins, sat in his car without saying a word, and closed the car door heavily.
He believed that Feng Yiping, who was far away in Silicon Valley, could also hear the sound of his car door closing in annoyance.
How about the richest man, what about Feng Yiping? I didn’t get a penny of your salary, so why should I be so angry?
"Kiddle," Cummins called again, holding the phone.
Kidder raised his head and motioned to the driver, "Let's go,"
It's time to leave a long time ago, the further away the better, he thought angrily.
Even if Windows Phone has developed like this, Ballmer would not dare to criticize and teach me a lesson like this!
He was so depressed that he slapped the armrest hard. Those few minutes just now were the most embarrassing moments in his career, and they were something he should never have endured.
Charlie Kidder, who has been considered pampered for so many years and is especially respected outside the company, now feels that if Feng Yiping were in front of him now, he would definitely poke his nose with his finger and ask, "Do you have any?" What qualifications do you have to say that to me?”
No matter if he is the richest man or what.
Is it great to be the richest man?
My former boss was the richest man for more than ten years.
He looked out the window coldly, but when he thought about it, what Feng Yiping said was not completely unreasonable.
Now, in addition to giving up, there are two more positive directions of effort: weakening the Apple alliance; strengthening his own alliance. In this way, it is not impossible to make Apple withdraw its $4.5 billion offer.
He lay heavily on the chair, frowned and closed his eyes for a while, and finally felt that he should call Ballmer again no matter what. Feng Yiping said this about himself, and he must let him know.
The phone happened to ring, and he looked at it. Intel's Brian Krzanich, you shameful deserter, "Krzanich..."
…………
Behind him, Cummins was alone holding the phone, watching Charlie Kidd rush away angrily. He picked up the phone cautiously and said, "Feng,"
Looking at Jeff Williams and his group standing at the gate, who were somewhat excited and complacent, thinking about the storm of criticism that was about to come, he also took his phone and got into his car.
If Williams and others heard even a little bit, he really didn't know where to put his old face.
The people from the Apple and BlackBerry alliance were so happy when they saw Cummins, who had been very relaxed and indifferent since the beginning of the auction, now look nervous and cautious.
Where is the pride you had when you made the offer?
"Goodbye," Williams shook hands with others enthusiastically, and looked at Cummins' car, which drove away with a dodge, "Let's wait for good news,"
"Haha," the representatives of the alliance laughed immediately.
The reason for laughing is not easy to talk about in such an occasion, so someone couldn't help but say, "Toronto is really a very beautiful city, look at this day..."
Williams finally got into the car, and as soon as he sat down, he called Cook, "Tim, they panicked and lost their sense of proportion,"
"I saw it with my own eyes. It was Feng who called Charlie Kidd of Microsoft. The content of the call should not be too friendly. Kidd finally had a dark face and threw the phone to Cummins,"
"Really?" Cook didn't sound as excited as Williams.
He knew very well why Williams and the others were so happy. This was about to defeat Feng Yiping!
Everyone knows that in recent years, Feng Yiping has never failed in everything he has done. Although the acquisition of Yahoo failed in the end, that was his original intention.
No matter how powerful his opponents were before, they all failed when facing him.
This auction, which was on the verge of success, can be said to be Feng Yiping's first real failure.
Considering that Feng Yiping had personally visited Toronto and Nortel before the auction, their success this time can be said to be very high, close to face-to-face, which made Feng Yiping reluctantly accept the failure.
For professional managers like them, such glory is, to a certain extent, more meaningful than the success of the auction itself.
Cook was also happy about this, but because such success is very rare, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Don't take it lightly before it's over."
Before, Cummins only waited for Feng Yiping's words, "Cummins, tell Nortel that we need 24 hours to consider,"
"Ah? Oh, OK Feng," Cummins looked at the phone with some disbelief. So gentle and amiable?
