Chapter 47 Wind from the Pacific

The purpose of coming to America this time has been achieved. Although I did not win the lawsuit, it allowed Microsoft to pay a huge settlement compensation for the mouse patent and admitted that the patent used was Tanglin High-tech has washed away the dirty water for Donglin High-tech, and the goal has been achieved.

The settlement compensation is on the one hand, and on the other hand, as long as the media reports this matter, the dividends from defeating Microsoft will be enough for Donglin Hi-Tech to last for more than ten years!

The goal has been achieved. Why should Li Dongling further stimulate Microsoft? Although the ants staggered the elephant, they were relying on external forces and did not really have the strength to compete with the elephant. Regarding this point, Li Dongling Still awake.

Put all the credit to the New York Times, New York TV, Chicago Daily News, Washington Post and other media, so as not to be missed by Microsoft.

At the entrance of the Federal Court in Manhattan, Li Dongling’s words were very helpful to the reporters at the scene, and there was a round of applause. In recent years, the reputation of the media and reporters in America has become worse and worse. Many people no longer believe in the media, thinking that they are being used by members of Congress and big conglomerates. , Wall Street institutions have taken control.

And now Li Dongling's words have "justified" the American media. This time they helped the tragic hero "defeat" the devil-like Microsoft!

Although everyone who knows the truth of the matter knows that Microsoft's concession to Tanglin Hi-Tech is not reported by media reporters, nor is it afraid of Tanglin Hi-Tech, but is worried about breaking with HP and other companies, and worried that the stock price will fall again. , worried about being investigated by the federal Department of Justice for antitrust, so they made concessions.

But, at this time, does the truth still matter? What everyone can see now is that Tanglin Hi-Tech defeated Microsoft, and justice defeated evil!

“There are just some misunderstandings between Microsoft and Donglin Hi-Tech, and they “borrowed” some patents. These are just misunderstandings, and there is no plagiarism. Now the two parties have reached a cooperative relationship!”

Spencer was still there trying to explain, claiming that Microsoft was not plagiarizing this time, it was just a beautiful misunderstanding, but Microsoft was willing to make concessions.

But no one listened to Spencer's words. After interviewing Li Dongling, the reporters left with a bang and rushed back to prepare the latest report.

“The most expensive settlement in the history of technology!”

“Microsoft has admitted defeat for the first time!”

“Justice is late but has arrived. A technology company from the Far East was awarded a thousand dollars in compensation from Microsoft. Eight million dollars!”

The news that Microsoft bowed its head and paid huge compensation to Donglin Hi-Tech was reported by various media, including Fortune, Business Week and other media.

However, the main target of the report is still Microsoft. As for Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech, they were only mentioned briefly. After all, Microsoft's news is more attractive.

Microsoft expressed its attitude through the settlement with Donglin Hi-Tech. After it would not launch computers, HP, Dell and other companies immediately announced that they would continue to cooperate with Microsoft, and the Microsoft-Intel Alliance will also continue to be in effect. !

While the media and the melon-eaters were still acting as fun-lovers, Microsoft’s stock price was rising sharply. The stock price that had dropped in the past few days rose back up again in the blink of an eye, giving Donglin High-Tech For Microsoft, the compensation has been more than two hundred times earned. Compared with the stock price and market value, what is reputation? !

Pixar Animation Studio is currently busy producing "Toy Story", which will be released next year. The goal of this animated film is to become the world's first 3D animated film.

At this moment, roars could be heard from time to time in Pixar's office, and then several supervisors walked out of the office, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Seeing that it is scheduled to be released next year, Jobs is still dissatisfied with the development of "Toy Story" and keeps making modifications, which makes the directors and developers of Pixar Studio suffer. Unbearable, they finally learned about Steve Jobs's internal reputation as a "tyrant". How did it come about?

In the office, Jobs was the only one left, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. He had high hopes for Pixar, otherwise he would not have paid so much attention to it. Next year's "Toy Story" was regarded by Jobs as " Return” battle.

After leaving Apple, Jobs established NeXT Systems Company, acquired the computer animation special effects studio from Star Wars director Lucas, and formed Pixar Studio.

Although NeXT caused some waves, compared to when Jobs was at Apple, the response was mediocre.

Therefore, Jobs is now focusing on Pixar Studio and wants to rely on Pixar animation to make a turnaround. Since leaving Apple, he has been quiet for too long. Picking up a newspaper, Jobs couldn't help but smile when he saw that Microsoft settled and paid compensation to Tanglin Hi-Tech.

Of course he can see the reason behind this, and he knows why Microsoft will bow its head, but as an old rival of Bill Gates, although he is no longer at Apple, he can see that Microsoft is rarely in trouble. , still made Jobs pay a little attention to Tanglin Hi-Tech.

As a details maniac who pursues perfection, Jobs never believed that things happened without reason in the world. So many companies, including Apple, did not let Microsoft bow its head at the beginning, but this unknown company from overseas It was done, and Jobs didn’t believe it was purely luck!

“Find me a mechanical silver sable mouse!” Jobs picked up the phone and called his assistant.

Like Steve Jobs, in the American technology industry, there are many people who are happy to see Microsoft suffer. Now it is quite difficult for Microsoft to praise it.

Bai Wenxi is a reporter for Phoenix TV in Hong Kong City based in America. Currently, the domestic media in America, except for the central media, are some media newspapers in Hong Kong City. Because the cost is too high, Sending a team of reporters to America or Europe would be enough to support a dozen or even dozens of reporters, and small newspapers simply cannot afford it.

I packed my equipment and hung a camera around my neck. I was originally going to interview a celebrity from Hong Kong to America. When I was about to turn off the TV and go out, an Asian face suddenly appeared on the TV station, which attracted my attention. attracted Bai Wenxi's attention.

“Dongli Hi-tech wins the patent lawsuit against Microsoft!”

Looking at Li Dongling on TV, Bai Wenxi, who has been in America for so long and knows what Microsoft is, can’t help but be enlarged. Mouth, and then suddenly reacted, she also reported news about Hong Kong City coming to America. How could it be more shocking to see an Eastern company defeating a giant foreign company? She felt that if this matter was reported back to Hong Kong City, it would definitely cause a sensation in Hong Kong City. !

"The following news was recently reported by Bai Wenxi, our Taiwan correspondent in America. A patent lawsuit between Hanxi Tanglin Hi-Tech Company and America's Microsoft Company was settled in New York today. Microsoft admitted that the mouse patent belongs to Tanglin Hi-Tech Company. , and paid a settlement of US$18 million, Tanglin Hi-Tech gave up continuing to sue Microsoft on a global scale.

This is the first time since the Chinese era of computer technology that an Eastern company has defeated a Western technology company..."< br>
After News Nation and the commercial, it was supposed to be the time for Hong Kong Phoenix TV to broadcast a TV series, but suddenly another piece of news appeared. The viewers who watched the program were a little bit scolded when they saw the news, but after reading the news report , were all stunned there.

There are many kings in all walks of life in Hong Kong City, such as the world's shipping king, electronics king, fan king, television king, etc. But these kings, no matter how famous they are or how high their net worth, they are basically The impact is also on Hong Kong cities and Southeast Asia. The Pacific Ocean seems to be a gap that can never be crossed by the kings of Hong Kong cities.

Especially in the electronic technology industry, companies in Hong Kong City will probably have a deeper understanding. Electronic companies in Hong Kong City can basically act as agents for Western companies, or OEM for production. If you want to cooperate with those companies Competition and the suppression of technology and patents mean that no matter how famous it is, it will never be able to leave Southeast Asia.

But now, a mainland company, thousands of miles away in America, has defeated Microsoft, which is also a dominant player in the Western technology industry. Even for Microsoft, it is just a trivial mouse patent lawsuit, but for everyone in Hong Kong City Said, this shock is really too great!

“The computer mouse king defeated Microsoft!”

Early the next morning, some Hong Kong media began to report, directly reporting to Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech, wearing the mouse king’s title.

Following this, several major media outlets in Hong Kong City, including Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily, South China Morning Post, Ming Pao and dozens of newspapers and magazines, large and small, began to report Let’s start with the Tanglin Hi-tech Incident.

“Asia’s top technology company, Tanglin Hi-Tech, has won the patent lawsuit against Microsoft. The Silver Sable mouse owned by Tanglin Hi-Tech will become the most popular mouse brand in the world. Some professionals predict that , the sales volume of Silver Sable Mouse may exceed 500,000 this year”

"The new generation of technological geniuses. The valuation of Donglin Hi-Tech Company exceeds HK$300 million. Li Dongling will become one of the top richest people in Asia!"

Compared with those big newspapers, tabloid media are much more unrestrained, right? The facts are not important, it is not important where the data comes from, the key is to attract attention. In these tabloid reports, the mechanical silver sable mouse has been sold out, even though in fact it is still piled in the warehouse in Yangcheng. , it has not yet been officially launched for sale.

The valuation of Dongling Hi-Tech and the net worth of Li Dongling are also rising in the reports of these tabloid media.

No matter how outrageous the report is, some people will see it and some will believe it. Even Chinese-language newspapers and media in Singapore, Baodao, Xiangshan Ao, Malaysia, Siam and other places have begun to report it.

Whether it is a port city or an inland city, we are now in an era of lack of self-confidence and the need for heroes. In the scientific and technological field that the West is most proud of, even if the lawsuit is not won, it is just a settlement. Compensation, but he will still be regarded as a hero!

The news from Hong Kong City was the first to reach Guangdong Province. The Yangcheng Evening News quoted the news from Hong Kong City Satellite TV and other media and reported it that day.

And before most of the domestic media had reacted and the technology industry had not noticed, the Central Media Station suddenly reported the lawsuit on the news!
