Chapter 2968 Win-Tel Joins Forces Again

"Director Mueller, my client is sleepy and he must rest..+? (.+nbsp;\s*According to federal law, my client is entitled to 48 hours of rest." Ron said righteously.

Director Mueller was immediately stunned at this moment. He knew that Lin Feng was stalling for time, but the problem was that he had no way to stop it. No matter how to stop it, Ron has come up with federal laws. If he wants to stop it, it will be against federal law. Then Ron's legal team will sue him and make him unable to take care of himself.

"Okay, let Lin Feng rest for two days!" Director Mueller said and left bitterly.

"Ron, thanks!" Lin Feng smiled.

"Lin, we are friends. But I can only help you delay for 2 days at most. After 2 days, I can't help you. And this time the Ministry of Commerce accused you of illegal competition. According to my source, they have evidence. "Your absolute monopoly in the graphics card market has given the Ministry of Commerce an excuse. I can only say that you should be careful about the hearing in two days." Ron reminded. Although he is a lawyer, lawyers are not omnipotent.

"Don't worry, I'm already prepared for this. If everything goes according to the procedures, I have nothing to fear. But if the Ministry of Commerce is unreasonable, I have nothing to do." Lin Feng said.

Ron was also helpless. If the US Department of Commerce is really unreasonable, there is nothing they can do. The laws are made by others, what else can your lawyer do? However, Ron will try his best. After all, the Ministry of Commerce does not dare to be too reckless. If it arouses public anger, the Ministry of Commerce will not be able to bear it. But overall, Lin Feng is at a disadvantage this time.

At this moment, U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson roared.

"Director Mueller, why did you let Lin Feng rest for two days? How could you agree to this condition? It will take two more days, then it will be 4 days, and there are only 3 days left. 3 days is too tight." John Bryson drank.

It was a bit difficult to convict Lin Feng in 3 days. It's really difficult.

"Minister Bryson, there is no way. Lin Feng's legal team used the excuse that Lin Feng needs to rest. According to federal law, I must release him. However, according to federal law, financial cases involving businessmen like Lin Feng, due to their involvement, It is very serious and related to the property safety of American citizens, so it can be sentenced quickly and quickly!" Director Mueller said.

Minister John Bryson nodded, that was all he could do for now. Try to characterize Lin Feng within one day, and then order Lin Feng to develop the driver for the "Microsoft" operating system within one day. Lin Feng was perfectly solved within seven days. But this is just his wish. What is the real situation. He doesn't know. Whether this set goal can be achieved is hard to say.

"Mueller, what's going on now?" Bush asked at the White House.

"Lin Feng took two days off for an excuse. According to Bill Gates, the Secretary of Commerce only has seven days to deal with Lin Feng. After seven days, it will be too late." Director Mueller said.

Seven days? President Bush frowned. This time is really tight. Once Lin Feng tries some other tricks. Then it will be too late.

"Tell the Department of Commerce that if Lin Feng cannot be solved within seven days, let him compete freely. Don't cause burnout." Bush ordered.

Lin Feng is not a good person. This guy will exact revenge on you. If you can't save him within seven days, then when he frees up his hands, he will give you a "surprise". Bush didn't want to be tricked by Lin Feng again. As for the dispute between Microsoft and Lin Feng, as the president of the United States, I have a deep responsibility. But as a US president who has a cooperative relationship with Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng is powerful and Bush does not like it, if Lin Feng really collapses completely, Bush will not like it either. At least until Bush solves the mystery of the "air and water mill", he will not completely break with Lin Feng.

Director Mueller nodded. Although the United States is very powerful, it cannot completely cover the sky with one hand. Lin Feng cannot be solved within seven days, allowing Lin Feng’s ‘Pangu System’ to gain a firm foothold. At that time, if we forcefully help Microsoft and use administrative orders to intervene in the competition between operating systems, not only foreign investors will be in an uproar, but even the domestic people may not support it. At that time, he, the president, will be tortured again. On the one hand, there are public doubts. On the one hand are the interests between political parties. Bush didn't want that.

John Bryson received orders from President Bush and became increasingly anxious. However, no matter how anxious he is now, he can only wait until Lin Feng returns from rest in 2 days. If Lin Feng really can't be solved by then. He could only go according to normal procedures. Of course, before that, he will also put pressure on Microsoft to provide more evidence to prove Lin Feng's unfair competition.

"Bill, Lin Feng has successfully delayed it for another two days. After two days, we will only have three days left." Steve Ballmer said.

Bill Gates looked gloomy. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so cunning and use so many tricks to delay time. This time, he was at a loss. He was really unsure whether Lin Feng could be cured of his crime in two days. If Lin Feng cannot be ruled to be unfair competition within three days, then Microsoft will lose again this time. This time 'Microsoft' accused the 'Second World' of unfair competition, and the whole world is very clear about it. Although on the surface it was Lin Feng who was competing illegally, in fact everyone understood that this was because Microsoft could not afford to lose and was using dirty tricks.

Of course, using dirty tricks is also the skill of Microsoft. Although outsiders may say some gossip, it is harmless, as long as they can win. But if Microsoft loses, the rumors outside will not be harmless. They will come like a bomb and cause a major blow to Microsoft. This will directly push Lin Feng's Pangu system to continue to rise.

Of course, Bill Gates firmly believes that Lin Feng's Pangu system can only occupy part of the market at most, but it is impossible to surpass Microsoft's system in a short period of time. Microsoft has been operating this territory for more than 30 years, and it is not something that Lin Feng can surpass just by saying it. But for Bill Gates, letting a novice like Lin Feng occupy a little market share in the operating system market is a failure.

What to do?

"Bill, now we can only continue to add chips and win over allies." Steve Ballmer said, "Intel is our best ally, and now we need them to stand up and testify against Lin Feng with us."

'Intel' was once the best partner of 'Microsoft'. The 'n-tel' alliance created by the two companies has allowed the two companies to dominate their respective fields to this day. However, over the years, with some differences between the two sides and the lack of external enemies, the 'n-tel' alliance has automatically collapsed. Faced with Lin Feng's strength, both sides have the intention to start again. It's just that both sides are only intentions at present, and have not actually reached an agreement, because whoever proposes the alliance first will suffer. When the alliance is formed, some related agreements will suffer a little. Last time the alliance was formed, 'Intel' suffered a lot, and in some key interest distributions, 'Microsoft' accounted for the majority.

Generally speaking, when a brand computer is produced (such as Lenovo, Dell, etc.), its most important core is the processor and operating system. Since the beginning of the ‘n-tel’ alliance, all brand computers are almost all equipped with ‘Intel’ processors and ‘Microsoft’ systems before they are sold, and among them, ‘Intel’ and ‘Microsoft’ have absolute rights to distribute benefits. A senior executive of Lenovo once said that they could earn a lot of money by assembling a computer. There is no way, the profits are all taken away by ‘Intel’ and ‘Microsoft’.

Before this, due to the strength of ‘Microsoft’, the profit sharing rate of ‘Microsoft’ was low in profit distribution, but the net profit was higher than that of ‘Intel’, because the ‘Microsoft’ system is software, and the things of ‘Intel’ require production costs. This has led to the collapse of the ‘n-tel’ alliance in recent years. Of course, although the two sides are seemingly at odds, they are not in opposition.

If ‘Microsoft’ goes to ‘Intel’ this time, then ‘Intel’ will inevitably put forward higher requirements for the distribution of terminal benefits. For example, if a computer uses ‘Intel’ chips and then uses ‘Microsoft’s’ system, ‘Microsoft’ will give ‘Intel’ some subsidies or something like that. This is a very common profit distribution plan. However, this ‘Microsoft’ will suffer a loss.

Therefore, Bill Gates was unwilling to take the initiative to find Intel, as that would be a disadvantage.

"Bill, the situation is stronger than people! Intel is our ally, but Lin Feng is not, he is our competitor!" Steve Ballmer hated this. Although this time cooperating with Intel again will definitely lose some interests, as long as Lin Feng can be defeated, everything is worth it.

Bill Gates pondered for a moment and nodded. Steve Ballmer was right. Cooperating with Intel would only lose a little bit of interests, and this could be compensated by expanding the market share of the two companies. But if Lin Feng seizes the market, the loss would be huge.

"Hi, Paul, I'm Steve. How about having a cup of coffee together when you are free!" Steve Ballmer immediately called Paul Otellini, the president of Intel, who was far away in Silicon Valley.

"Haha, Steve, when I got up this morning, I heard the magpie calling, and I knew something good must have happened. Tell me, what's the matter! As for drinking coffee, forget it. Our two companies are too far away, and it's not easy to go back and forth." Paul Otellini laughed.

Obviously, Paul Otellini had predicted that Microsoft would call.

Steve Ballmer pursed his lips helplessly. At this point, he had nothing to say.

"Paul, I think we can have a good talk about Lin Feng!" Steve Ballmer said.

"Yes, we can have a good talk!" Paul Otellini's smile widened, but his expression became serious.

Lin Feng, this is not only a problem for Microsoft, but also a problem for Intel. Now the two companies have to join forces to solve Lin Feng!
