Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

"It's very simple!" Lucy Elizabeth Morgan smiled brightly, pointed two fingers at An Xin, and said softly, "An, let me tell you two ways!"

"First, we can directly poach Android's core technical team..."

"This method is useless!" An Xin couldn't listen any longer and interrupted Lucy Elizabeth Morgan's explanation. She then further explained: "Lucy, building a relatively complete mobile operating system ecosystem may not be as simple as you think!"

"Let's not talk about the existence of the non-compete agreement. Even if we can really poach the entire Android core technical team, it probably won't be of much use!"

"After all, the new technical team still has to work hard to bypass the technical barriers that Google has accumulated over the years and re-set up a completely new technical architecture!"

"In this case, wouldn't it be the same as starting over from scratch? This is a huge project, and it obviously can't be completed in a year or two!"

"And the main problem is time. Time waits for no one, and Google won't stop and wait for us to catch up!"

As if feeling that her rebuttal was too sharp, An Xin quickly adjusted her attitude and said slowly: "Of course, Lucy, if other methods don't work, then we can try this method as a supplement!"

"No, no, no, Ann, you may have misunderstood what I meant!" Lucy Elizabeth Morgan smiled meaningfully and said in a rather indifferent tone, "To be honest, Ann, you are still too honest!"

"In fact, we don't need to abide by those rules and regulations. We can directly poach the entire core technical team of the Android project and then directly copy the core technical framework of the Android project!"

"As for things like non-compete agreements and technical barriers, they are all meant to restrict honest people. We are not honest people, so why should we care so much about them?"

"Of course, if Google is not satisfied, then let them go through the litigation process, whether it is the district court, the circuit court, or even the Supreme Court, they can appeal as they please, it doesn't matter!"

WTF? !

Isn’t this just robbery?

An Xin looked at the calm Lucy Elizabeth Morgan with a shocked expression. Nuo Nuo opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say anything...

To be honest, An Xin had some mental expectations about the dark forces of these big players behind the scenes, but it was somewhat beyond An Xin's expectations that they were so blatant!

But having said that, after becoming the beneficiary, the feeling is really different, it’s quite refreshing…

Seeing An Xin's unpredictable expression, Lucy Elizabeth Morgan mistakenly thought that he was afraid. After a little thought, she immediately started to make amends: "An, I think it is necessary to remind you that we can play this way, but there is a very necessary prerequisite, that is, the benefits must be tempting enough!"

"In other words, we have to pay a high price for this. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince some friends to come forward to help deal with related issues!"

Perhaps because she felt that the above words were not profound enough, Lucy Elizabeth Morgan added again: "Ann, this high price may be beyond your tolerance!"

"Of course, we still need to talk to the relevant stakeholders to know the specific cost, so everything at present is just based on assumptions!"

An Xin came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said: "Lucy, I understand what you mean. A deal is a deal. I am a person who knows the rules!"

But An Xin immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "But, Lucy, this method is still too overbearing, and there are too many unknowns, so I want to hear your second method, and then make the final decision based on the specific situation!"

To be honest, if there is really no other solution, this method can be the final solution. It's just a matter of paying a price. If the price is not particularly outrageous, An Xin can accept it.

As for what adverse effects this kind of gameplay would eventually bring, An Xin was not worried. After all, the person at the forefront was not herself, but Lucy Elizabeth Morgan. If she didn't care, then she would care even less!

"No problem!" Lucy Elizabeth Morgan nodded slightly, and then unveiled the mystery of the second method: "Ann, Google's market share in the search engine field is too high. It is obviously suspected of violating the US antitrust law. We can completely push the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice to launch an antitrust investigation against Google..."

Good guy!

This second method really opened Anxin's eyes!

If you want to talk about cruelty, you have to look at these American blue flags!

You have to know that An Xin just wanted Android, but Lucy Elizabeth Morgan was different.

She seems to want Google dead!

Even though Google’s current market value exceeds 1000 billion US dollars and it is a veritable giant in the Internet industry, what if it is really involved in an antitrust investigation?

Tsk, Microsoft’s previous experience is still there, does Google think it can easily break through?

That's impossible!

Be it politicians, other capital groups, or even various related or unrelated NGOs, they will certainly not miss this rare opportunity to eat meat and drink soup. They will definitely move at the first sign of trouble, rush in, bite Google, and divide up their own interests!

As for Google's fate?

The punishment may range from a huge fine to a business split!

No matter what the final outcome is, it is obvious that Google will suffer enough!

And this method is much better than the first one!

All they need to do is light the fire, and the rest will naturally be taken care of by others!

However, ignition obviously comes at a cost!

After thinking about this question, An Xin calmed down instantly, then looked directly at Lucy Elizabeth Morgan and asked in a deep voice: "Lucy, this method is not bad, but what is the price?"

"And we are facing a huge problem. You know, Google is not simple. There are a lot of Wall Street investment institutions behind it. Even your Morgan family holds part of Google's shares through a third-party institution. In this case, are you sure that we can promote the antitrust investigation against Google with just the two of us?"

"Ann, you misunderstood!" Lucy Elizabeth Morgan smiled and shook her head, then she parted her fiery red lips and said softly, "I don't really want to use the antitrust law to completely get rid of Google. I just want Google to understand one thing: if we don't get what we want, then antitrust investigations may come to Google, but if we get what we want, then the so-called antitrust investigations are naturally fictitious!"

"Intimidation?" An Xin frowned, thought for a moment, shook her head slightly, and said, "Lucy, to be honest, Google is not a pushover. I don't think intimidation alone can achieve the ultimate goal!"

"Haha!" Lucy Elizabeth Morgan smiled inexplicably and said calmly, "Ann, intimidation alone won't work, but we can first push the relevant agencies in a certain state to launch an antitrust investigation against Google to test the waters!"

"That way, Google will understand that we are not trying to intimidate people, right?"
