Chapter 2976 no way back
Lin Feng stepped out of the car with a happy mood.
When all the reporters saw Lin Feng finally coming out, they immediately surrounded him.
"Mr. Lin, are you sure about this hearing?"
"Mr. Lin, this time 'Intel' accuses you of taking advantage of your absolute monopoly in the graphics card market to force computer manufacturers to buy 'amd' chips. What do you think...Many reporters fired at you like laser guns.
Lin Feng pursed his lips, and after these reporters fell silent, Lin Feng pointed at the logo of the U.S. Department of Commerce, "What I think is not important, what matters is what they think!"
All reporters were silent.
"Hi, Paul, this is..." Lin Feng walked directly towards Paul Otellini, who was waiting at the door, and glanced at the man next to him who looked very Japanese.
"Lin Feng, let me introduce to you. This is the vice president of Microsoft, Furukawa Yuang. He is Japanese!" Paul Otellini specifically reminded Furukawa Yuang's identity.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled.
"I never shake hands with Japanese men, Furukawa, this is a great gift from Microsoft!" After saying that, Lin Feng nodded to Paul Otellini, "Paul, if Intel wants to occupy the market, it won't be that simple.
!”
Paul Otellini smiled. Well, it all depends on who wins today.
"Huh, arrogant Chinese!" Furukawa was ignored by Lin Feng throughout the whole process, and he felt the burning pain on his face. No matter what, he was representing 'Microsoft' today and was afraid of testifying against Lin Feng. In the end, Lin Feng didn't even look at it.
One look at him shocked him so much that he felt filled with endless resentment.
Paul Otellini shrugged. 'Microsoft' asked you to come, didn't it just hope for this effect? This Japanese is really an idiot. But Lin Feng is so calm. Why on earth? He and Lin Feng have met several times.
When Lin Feng had just founded 'Second World' and had not yet acquired 'amd', the two had met a few times and had a little friendship. Even after Lin Feng acquired 'amd', Paul Otellini and Lin Feng were still there.
I’ve had tea several times. After all, although the two companies are in opposition, there are areas of cooperation in some areas.
However, after Lin Feng acquired 'ati' and took control of 'nvidia', the two parties never met again. The relationship also dropped to a freezing point. There was no way, Lin Feng had become the mortal enemy of 'Intel'. He would still be with Lin Feng
If the wind comes and goes, will he still take the position of president?
These years of contact have given Paul Otellini a more intuitive understanding of Lin Feng than Microsoft. This man's business methods are so sophisticated that he doesn't look like a young man, and he is much more cunning than some cunning old businessmen.
.But maybe because he is too young, Lin Feng often has difficulty suppressing some of the passion in his heart. At this moment, Lin Feng's relaxed look means that something good must happen to Lin Feng. And this good thing should be
It is related to this hearing.
So what is it? Paul Otellini is suspicious. This hearing is the last resort to restrain Lin Feng. If it fails again, Paul Otellini doesn't know how else to restrain Lin Feng. 'Intel'
Whether it will rise or fall in the future depends on today's hearing.
"Paul, let's go, the hearing is about to begin!" Furukawa said.
Paul Otellini came to his senses, nodded, and walked in.
Fifteen minutes later, the hearing officially began. Because it involved many secrets of both companies, reporters were not allowed to enter for interviews. Only lawyers and clients from both sides could attend.
"Mr. Lin, it is now announced that the illegal competition case against you by 'Microsoft' and 'Intel' has officially opened." The judge knocked the gavel.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and nodded towards the judge.
Subsequently, 'Microsoft' and 'Intel' presented relevant evidence of accusations. Without exception, they all accused Lin Feng of using his monopoly influence in the graphics card market to force users to choose 'second world' products, leaving users
There is no free right to choose. 'Microsoft' accused Lin Feng of disregarding the interests of all users for the sake of 'Pangu System' and not developing drivers for the 'Microsoft' system. It also listed the users who are now being banned because they do not have a 'Microsoft' system.
Forced to use a large amount of data from the 'Pangu System'. Currently, the number of people in the 'Pangu System' worldwide has exceeded 500 million.
'Intel' accused Lin Feng of using the monopoly of graphics cards to force users to buy 'amd' chips and abandon 'Intel' chips. It also listed that a large number of computer manufacturers abandoned 'Intel' and chose 'amd', and their market share dropped from the original
79%, dropped sharply to 64%!
These two charges are very serious. Once found guilty, Lam Feng Company will definitely be finished. This was recognized by the lawyers of the three parties before coming here.
"Mr. Lin, please respond to the accusations made by 'Intel' and 'Microsoft'," the judge said.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Your Honor, regarding the accusation of 'Intel', I can only explain one thing. This is the result of free choice by consumers. Why not choose 'Intel' chips but choose 'amd' chips? Because if consumers choose all
When the hardware produced by our company is assembled into a computer, the performance can achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2. On the contrary, if you choose an 'Intel' chip and add our company's graphics card, the effect can only reach 1+1=2 at most.
Consumers are smart, and they will naturally choose to buy the computer with the best performance for the least money. Therefore, I do not admit this accusation." Lin Feng said, presenting a series of evidence.
It's a video of 'Second World' doing interviews with consumers buying computers in the market these days. Asking them why they choose 'amd' instead of 'Intel' chips.
In the video, most consumers gave one conclusion - Intel is too expensive, and although the performance is good, it is not that good. As for 'amd', all consumers concluded that it is good quality and cheap, although the performance is slightly lower.
It's not as good as, but better than, the performance of the whole machine after assembly, which can be tied with the mixed computer. The price of the whole machine is slightly cheaper. Therefore, consumers choose 'amd' instead of 'Intel'.
Obviously, according to random interviews with approximately 120,000 videos, consumers are free to choose, not forced.
"Mr. Lin... Company, has your 'Second Bank' acquired 50% of its shares?" the judge said coldly. This time he was sent by the US Department of Commerce to suppress Lin Feng. Naturally, he would not let Lin Feng
Easily get away with it.
"Wrong, your honor. Regarding the acquisition of 'nvidia', it should be like this. Ellison's 'Oracle' acquired 50%+1 of the shares, and I obviously only have 50%-1 of the shares of the company.
Legally speaking, it is owned by Oracle. Although I am the second largest shareholder, I have no controlling interest." Lin Feng said, "And I have never been to Oracle, nor do I hold any Oracle shares.
's shares... This is the acquisition ratio agreed upon by Lin Feng and Ellison back then. Ellison's 'Oracle' has the advantage, and Lin Feng has a slight disadvantage, ensuring that Lin Feng will not be subject to antitrust investigations. Of course.
, there is also an agreement in the contract, that is, once 'Oracle' wants to sell... then it must be sold to Lin Feng first.
The judge frowned. Regarding this document, Lin Feng also showed him a copy. According to the document, it is true that 'Oracle' company owns 50%+1 of the shares. Legally speaking, 'Oracle' has the advantage, and Lin Feng does not own it.
Absolute monopoly position.
But even so, the judge would not let Lin Feng off easily.
"But Ellison is your best friend, and the second largest shareholder of your 'Second Consortium'!" The judge smiled coldly, "Lin Feng, you can't deny this! Driven by profit, Ellison
It is normal for Leeson to do anything to favor you and harm Intel."
Lin Feng's face turned cold. Indeed, this was something that Lin Feng had not expected when he established the 'Second Consortium'. If Lin Feng had not established the 'Second Consortium', then just relying on the relationship between Lin Feng and Ellison would be enough.
It is impossible to convict Lin Feng of being a monopoly. Especially in the Second Bank, Ellison did not own any shares, and Lin Feng never held even one share of Oracle.
It's a pity that Lin Feng established the "Second Financial Group" in order to win over his brothers and let everyone make money, but he forgot this point. This is also the reason for his defeat this time. Fortunately, Lin Feng was prepared for this. A strong man cuts off his wrist, and Lin Feng
There are sacrifices. Of course, it is not like Abby Cohen, selling 'amd' to let 'Microsoft' and 'Intel' fight, but preparing to sell all 'nvidia' to 'Oracle'. But
Maybe this won't work. Because Ellison still holds shares in the 'Second Consortium', the two parties have a relationship.
Lin Feng suddenly realized this. "Oracle" is also completely prohibited from holding shares. Unless Ellison withdraws from the "Second Consortium" or he personally leaves the "Oracle" company, then the US Department of Commerce cannot use this matter to
Accusing himself of being a monopoly. After thinking about this, Lin Feng suddenly started sweating profusely. He calculated that he had missed something. The most important thing was that he had missed something.
Seeing Lin Feng suddenly sweating profusely, Paul Otellini and Furukawa Xiang both guessed that Lin Feng must have miscalculated something, and both of them smiled. Before they came, they also calculated any contingency measures Lin Feng had. They wanted to use nvidia
All the shares were sold to Oracle. Hehe, that won't work, unless Ellison withdraws from the "Second Consortium" and sells his shares in the "Second Consortium". In that case, the relationship between Lin Feng and Ellison will not be so
If it is solid, then the outside world will have a chance. Moreover, will Oracle really listen to Ellison alone?
Paul Otellini sneered. This matter is not that simple! If these super companies join forces, they will not give Lin Feng a way out. If he wants to sell... Lin Feng will find that after selling, it is just a delay.
the date of his death.
