Chapter 547 Qiao Gang mainly plays the patriotic card

The United States is not a monolithic country, and the capital forces can be divided into two major factions based on industry.

Oldmoney, which is mainly based in the old industrial era, has deep roots. At this time, they still have the right to speak politically in the United States and have penetrated into all aspects of society.

New tycoons such as Bill Gates who have risen through software programming or the Internet may be richer, but their political strength is not as good as that of conservatives.

Lu Yi clearly wants to sow discord, but Bill Gates has no way to do it, because he is an extreme egoist after all, and he will never do anything that benefits the world at the expense of a dime.

Bill Gates looked at Lu Yiming: "Sometimes I really wonder if you were sent by the devil. Every word you say seems to have the magic power to inspire people."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Both each other."

Just as Lu Yiming expected, Bill Gates has no plans to do anything. After all, it is still unknown whether the United States will decline. However, he would like to see the conservatives' strength damaged.

It can only be said that people in high positions often do not say that the overall situation is the most important thing, let alone put the national interests first. Because in their eyes, they are the overall situation and their own interests are the most important.

important.

After the phone call with Bill Gates, Lu Yiming didn't take this matter to heart. He could only say that the current level of productivity is not enough to escape the law of historical cycles. Even if we compare the future of the United States with Xia Guo's

The future is in front of Bill Gates, and nothing can be changed.

The only thing a person can change is himself.

And in a place like the United States, people may not even be able to change themselves. Even if they can see the future, they can only watch the future coming towards them. The pain is like being forced into a corner by someone, and then that person

He raised his fist as big as a casserole and opened his mouth to curse. You could clearly see the rotten vegetable leaves between his teeth and the saliva sprayed towards you, but you couldn't move. Then you were sprayed in the face and hit again.

It's the same as a punch.

In the hotel where he stayed, Lu Yiming put his arms around Shi Qingxue's slender waist and said, "Let's go shopping in the afternoon. After all, we don't come to Hollywood often, so it's not worth not shopping around."

Hollywood is not only the birthplace of global fashion, but also the center of the global music and film industry, with the world's top entertainment industry and luxury brands. Therefore, in Hollywood, not only can you appreciate the world's most developed film industry culture, you can also go shopping crazy

Buy, buy, buy whatever you want on the Avenue of Stars.

"OK."

Shi Qingxue happily agreed to this.

The two left the hotel and headed to the Avenue of Stars. They took no one with them, only Zhao Tiezhu followed from a distance.

In the luxury store, Lu Yiming took a fancy to a handbag that cost as much as three thousand US dollars. It was exquisitely made and fashionable. He pointed at the handbag and said to Shi Qingxue: "This bag looks good and suits your temperament very well."

"Hey, waiter, please help me take this bag down and take a look."

At the counter, the waiter was wearing headphones and listening to a portable CD. She raised her head and glanced at Lu Yiming, and then started shaking her head along with the portable CD, completely ignoring what Lu Yiming meant.

At this time, two white men also walked into the store, and they immediately saw the handbag placed on the glass counter.

The man spoke a few words in English, and the waiter quickly took off his earphones and respectfully took out the handbag on the counter.

The man and the woman chatted for a few words, and then the woman put the bag diagonally across her body, and then spun it around in front of the man a few times.

At this moment, the man and woman suddenly exerted their strength and ran out of the luxury store. Before the waiter could react, they had already disappeared.

After a few seconds, the waiter ran out of the counter. The street was bustling with people, and he couldn't find the two people just now.

Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue witnessed the whole process with their own eyes.

Shi Qingxue said in surprise: "This... robbery?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "This is called zero-dollar purchase, a characteristic of the American Empire. She deserves it. Selling it to me is considered a great achievement. Now, I guess she will have to compensate for the loss."

Shi Qingxue said worriedly: "It's quite dangerous here. There are actually people robbing people on the street."

While the two were talking, the alarm sounded inside the store. Many people around noticed the situation, and the patrolling police officers also came over.

In order to avoid trouble, Lu Yiming took Shi Qingxue and left quickly.

The two of them walked around and just returned to the hotel when Li Yiwen came over.

"Even if you are back, I can't get through the phone."

Lu Yiming took out his cell phone and took a look and found that there was no signal.

"The United States has its own national conditions here. It's normal that we can't get through. What's wrong?"

Li Yiwen said: "Two pieces of news. One is that there were suddenly a lot of saltwater funds in the newspapers shorting U.S. stocks, and they were used as speculation again. I think someone is doing something behind the scenes."

This incident was expected by Lu Yiming. Lu Yiming did not feel surprised. He asked: "What's one more thing?"

Li Yiwen said: "Another thing is that the sales of our Tianyin MP3 were released last month. Sales in North America dropped a lot month-on-month. Especially in the days at the end of the month, sales were almost halved."

This matter immediately attracted Lu Yiming's attention. After all, it had been two days since he was scolded in the newspaper, but the sales of Tianyin MP3 plummeted, which actually affected Lu Yiming's interests.

"What's going on? Is the Imperial Alliance getting angry again? I remember they weren't that awesome?"

Li Yiwen said: "No, I asked the people below to investigate. They said that Apple is going to release something called IPOD next month. That Steve Jobs, under the banner of patriotism, said that real Americans should use their own MP3 players.

The product, Apple IPOD, is an authentic domestic product. If you are patriotic, buy IPOD. This has attracted many American users to hold their coins and wait to buy."

Lu Yiming: "..."

Hey guys, why does this smell so strong?

And the key is, this fucking word is mine.

Shouldn't it be a certain Xiaguo technology company that plays the Chinese brand? How come you, such a fat-headed and big-eared Apple, have resorted to this trick?

The most important thing is, in Lu Yiming's impression, doesn't this thing have to wait until 2001 to be released? How can I interview more than a year in advance? What kind of approach is this?

What Lu Yiming didn't expect was that his rebirth had changed so many things. The flapping wings of the butterfly had blown a strong wind on the other side of the ocean. Seeing that Tianyin MP3 was selling like hot cakes in the North American market, Gang Leader Qiao couldn't sit still.

, directly allowed the IPOD team to speed up the research and development progress and complete the product a year in advance.

Li Yiwen asked: "What should we do now? Although we still have a little ecological first-mover advantage, Apple does not follow martial ethics and directly plays the patriotic card."

Americans are the most unreasonable. What is free market? The premise is that Xia Guo's enterprises cannot threaten the development of American enterprises.

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "The United States has actually started to play the patriotic card, which really surprised me. It seems that some people have become jealous when they see us making money. Those who said in the newspaper that we were shorting U.S. stocks are probably them too, right?"

On the one hand, he belittles us, and on the other hand, he promotes himself. I am very familiar with this routine. I can only say that Angsa monkeys are Angsa monkeys, and their brain capacity is only so small."

After complaining for a while, Lu Yiming continued: "Since they don't follow the rules, there is no need for us to be polite to them. Just sue Apple for IPOD technology infringement."

Li Yiwen was shocked: "Are you in the United States and filing an infringement lawsuit against American technology companies?"

Lu Yiming said disapprovingly: "What if I don't? Do I have to bear any grievances myself?"

The original Tianyin MP3 was designed by Lu Yiming based on IPOD, and he even registered the patent first.

Apple's IPOD product may have been very good in the original world, but Lu Yiming did not believe that the IPOD, which was a full year ahead of schedule, did not "learn" from the technology of Tianyin MP3.

at the same time.

Apple Inc.

The thin gang leader Qiao was furious with his subordinates.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Why can't I get the song copyright from the Recording Industry Association of America?"

In front of him, several of his subordinates remained silent, and a senior executive said bravely: "Mingyuan Technology has reached an agreement with the Recording Association..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the leader of iQiao Gang.

"I don't want to hear any excuses. I'll give you a week. If you can't figure it out, I'll pack up and leave."

Gang Leader Qiao, who single-handedly founded Apple, was kicked out of the company by his own company's shareholders. Now that he has been invited back, Gang Leader Qiao's temper has not calmed down at all, and he is still the same "tyrant" who makes people fear him.

Facing the irritable Gang Leader Qiao, his subordinates had no choice but to discuss how to obtain the copyright of the Recording Association.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and the company's co-founder Steve Gary Wozniak walked in.

In his hand, he held a court summons.

"I just received a copy of this and thought you'd better take a look."

He pushed the court summons in front of Jobs.

Jobs's originally large bulging eyes suddenly became even larger, which looked extremely inconsistent with his slender face.

"What's going on? We actually received a court summons?"

Steve Gary Wozniak said: "Tianyin is suing us for infringement of their patents."

"Tianyin Company?"

"That's it. I have to say, it looks very similar to our product."

The fact that Apple was sued for infringement by Tianyin quickly spread as people spread the word.

Nowadays, Apple is already a giant company, and its every move attracts everyone's attention. It is a new thing to suddenly be sued for infringement. For a time, many media have turned their attention to Apple.

On this day, Gang Leader Qiao was interviewed by a group of reporters and media.

"What do you think about being sued by Tianyin Company for plagiarism?"

Gang Leader Qiao said without hesitation: "Apple did not plagiarize! As we all know, Tianyin is a company of Xia State. Xia State is backward and has no technology at all. If Apple wants to make MP3 products, how can it do something casual?
