Coquettish Rebirth

Bill Gates helped out, so a day later, a lawyer's letter was faxed to Apple.As soon as Apple's clerks saw the lawyer's letter, they quickly uploaded it step by step.When Jobs saw this lawyer's letter, he was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke!what did he seeHe saw that Bill Gates' Microsoft actually wanted to blackmail them from Apple!This is simply the opposite of the sky!

When Apple first debuted, this Microsoft didn't even have to wear crotch pants!And Microsoft's visual operation interface imitates the MOS operating system created by Apple!When Jobs launched the Macintosh computer, where did he look at Microsoft?As a result, this Microsoft is awesome now, doesn't it, dare to blackmail Big Brother?This is the other day!Didn't Bill Gates just watch Apple's development in the past ten years, and accidentally let Microsoft surpass it?Do you really think that Apple does not have a patent reserve?

Clutching the letter in his hand, Jobs was quite upset.He has never been a good-tempered person. Now that he is being blackmailed, how can he calm down? "Go, check these patents for me now!" Jobs angrily asked his subordinates to check the four patents allegedly infringed in the lawyer's letter.As a result, within ten minutes, I saw my subordinates come back, "Steve, we found out that among the four patents on Microsoft's lawyer's letter, the first patent number is 4, which is the [Long Document] name support], the second patent number is 5,579,517, it is [short file name support], the third patent number is 5,758,352, it is [export context menu]..."

At that time, after listening to the report of his subordinates, Jobs really hated it!Nima Microsoft has applied for a patent for this kind of thing?Does this keep people alive?Oh, the long file name supports you to get a patent, and the short file name supports you to get a patent, so how do others get the file name?You can only make it neither long nor short, right?Moreover, the pop-up context menu has been patented, do you dare to be ashamed?This is called pop-up context menu.That means, for example, if you right-click on the desktop, a small opening will come out, and then there will be a small arrow next to it. If you move the mouse over, you will see another lower-level small opening.This convenient way of watching directly without clicking is actually registered as a patent by Microsoft. Does this mean that others are not allowed to live?What's more, what Microsoft registered didn't come out directly without clicking the mouse. They still registered the patent for both the way of clicking with the mouse and the way without clicking the mouse!This Nima means that no matter what, Apple will definitely be suspected of infringement.As long as Apple wants to make the visual operation interface simple and easy to use!Otherwise, it can only be made into a formal menu, that is, the kind that pops out after clicking once!But this will definitely be cumbersome!

Hey!Nima Microsoft, this is really taking advantage of Apple's ten years of ineffectiveness, and it has robbed a lot of patents, right?This fucker came up to blackmail, right?Obviously, everyone has negotiated a settlement before, so Microsoft is going to start a war again?So after thinking of this.Jobs called Microsoft's eo office directly with one phone call.Soon, Bill Gates answered the phone, "Hello? Steve? Long time no see, what can I do?" Bill Gates on the other end of the phone was calm and in a good mood. [

Hearing that Bill Gates was in a good mood and didn't seem to know what happened, Jobs hated it even more! "Mr. Gates, our company has received a letter from your company's lawyer, which says that we have infringed four of your patents. What do you mean?" Although he was itching with hatred.But Jobs still tried his best to control his temper, and was ready to show courtesy first and soldiers later.

In the end, who knew that only Bill Gates said calmly, "Oh, yes, that's right. Because I saw you suing MS company, I think this method seems to be very good, so I am going to learn from your company , Use this method to toss your competitors. So, Jobs. Are you going to pay the money privately? Or go to court? I heard that your mos will start to be released for trial in the summer? I think in our Microsoft patent library, There must be a patent that will allow the court to ban your mos85 sales..."

What?When I heard that Bill Gates was going to attack mos85.At that time, Jobs was furious!How long will it take for Apple to do this? There are only two achievements, one m-g3 and one mos85. As a result, Bill Gates will delay m-os85?Can this be tolerated?But if he can't bear it, he has to bear it!At this time, I only heard Jobs suppressing his anger and asking Bill Gates: "What do you mean? What do you want? Do you just want to start a war? If you want to start a war, Apple will definitely accompany you." !"

That's right, when he returned to Apple that year, Apple was still at war with Microsoft. In order to prevent Apple from being chased and intercepted, Jobs rationally chose to settle with Microsoft, and then took the company's resources to pave the way for new products.Although the reconciliation is to give yourself space, but others have bullied you to the front, can you bear it?

"Wow...Steve, aren't you going to let your company close the front line and develop smoothly? It was you who wanted to reconcile, not me. Don't forget, we also provided e-support for your Apple system. If you want to fight If so, it is obvious that Microsoft will not be the loser. We now have more money than you, and our financial situation is much better than yours. We have time and resources to file a lawsuit with you. As for you, your stock price has been falling continuously before, and now the most important thing is It’s about shrinking the field of competition, earning cash as quickly as possible to increase profits, are you sure you want to sue us? I’m afraid your board of directors doesn’t necessarily support this…Don’t forget, you are a listed company!”

The words of Bill Gates really wiped out the blood of Jobs!That's right, although listed companies make money, what's the worst thing about it?That is, the more money you get, the less your company is yours!Because shareholders don't necessarily agree with the long-term development, what they need is the continuous rise of the stock in front of them, they can't accept the current loss for ten years and ten years later!

Although Jobs owns shares in Apple, it is obvious that his shares will not occupy an absolute majority, otherwise how could he be driven away?So after this incident becomes serious, maybe someone on the board of directors will join forces and prepare to kick Jobs away for the second time!Thinking of this, Jobs knew that what Bill Gates said was right, his teeth were about to be gritted. At this moment, he took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "Then what do you want? You just want money huh?"

"Tell the truth?" Bill Gates continued to smile and said, "Actually, no, I actually want to sue you, if you continue to pester ms..." "What? You are trying to help Jia Hongjian Early?" Jobs was stunned at that time, he couldn't believe that such a thing existed in this world!Microsoft will actually stand up for that Chinese!How can this be! "That's right, Steve, maybe you don't know that Jia Hongjian is a very important part of Microsoft's future plans, and Huaxia Hi-Tech behind him is also our Microsoft's strategic partner for the 21st century... So, I don't want to see our Microsoft partners get sued, you understand?"

This old Joe has really never paid attention to the Chinese market in these years. On the one hand, the Chinese market is indeed not in the market these days.How could he know that Microsoft and Huaxia Hi-Tech are cooperating?How could he know about Microsoft's plan to try to occupy the living room, and to experiment in the Chinese market in order to move from software to hardware?He didn't know how important it was for Microsoft to have Huaxia Hi-Tech, a company that had both mobility and "relationships" in China.And there is such a testing ground for new products in China, how important it is to Microsoft's future plans!Perhaps in history, because Microsoft was unsuccessful, it retreated to the United States and began to build a car behind closed doors.But now because of the variables like Jia Hongjian and others, Bill Gates' Microsoft has really changed its plan, and is ready to build a car behind closed doors, and then go to the Chinese market to test the effect, and then go to the vast third world countries. !Then start from the middle and low levels and slowly cultivate the market upwards!

"So, you mean that if we let ms go, you won't bother us?" Jobs tried his best to speak as if it was beneficial to him. "Almost. As long as you continue to trouble Jia Hongjian, I will trouble you, that's all." Bill Gates said.

Having said that, the next thing is basically a matter of course.Early the next morning, the "Wall Street Journal" was the first to report Apple's withdrawal of the lawsuit. They "guessed" that Apple and MS had reached a settlement in private, but MS didn't seem to sign a contract to pay for the settlement, so Detailed information needs to be further disclosed.

Jobs suffered a dumb loss here, and while Jia Hongjian felt relieved, he was not happy.Why?Because at this time he felt that his company was too weak!When encountering something, I can only wait for Microsoft to come out to help solve it!This is too weak!Just like a child!His ideal company should be the same as the previous bm and the current Microsoft, with a lot of patents in his hand, and others want to sue him?If you don't bother me, just burn the incense!It should be like this!Therefore, at this time, Jia Hongjian secretly made up his mind that he would not let other companies threaten his company like this again!
