Chapter 1634: Hooligans and Good Guys

When Jordan Wells of Maryland is thrilled to receive this big surprise, to be able to fulfill his dreams, and to be proud and grateful for his idol, Andy, the 'good guy', does not have time to devote much attention to the matter.

It's not that he doesn't want to see his fans, it's mainly this careless willingness to raise his hand, which is really a small thing for him.

And of course, he can imagine how excited a girl would be about it, and honestly, his wealth accumulation has turned into a simple digital game that benefits fans, although there is a little bit of his own perniciousness in it, hoping that some people's fate can be changed or reversed because of some of his little good deeds.

Nor has he ever considered getting someone else's gratitude, not least to earn a good reputation among his fans, to be scammed by the media, or more, to hope that his little act of kindness can make people happy, share his happiness, and make himself happy from it.

Santiago, California.

“ Six companies, including Nokia and Ericsson, which complained to the European Union, made some concessions in the negotiations, but still hoped that we would lower our patent fees.

Stick officials continue to insist that we treat our customers differently, charge some of them higher fees, and refuse to terminate the antitrust investigation... ”

In the conference room at Qualcomm headquarters, Andy listened to Qualcomm Legal, the only technology company in the world with more lawyers than engineers, and Qualcomm Legal is definitely the most well-staffed and busy department.

Well, basically, Qualcomm's legal department hasn't been idle.

Of course, these two antitrust investigations are just two of the most influential in a series of Qualcomm cases. Qualcomm faced a variety of lawsuits, including losing and winning, for example, nearly $900 million in compensation to Burton in the previous two years.

Seriously, if IT companies in general don't do anything else all day long, just fight lawsuits, and lose hundreds of billions of dollars in outward losses, TM's would have changed their business thinking a long time ago, but Qualcomm would have preferred to hire a professional team of lawyers to do these things.

“It's the 3G era! ”

Andy's mouth rose, and after a week of sweeping the faces of the highly-connected people in the conference room, he said with deep heart.

Yeah, it's the 3G era now. Previously, the 2G era was the world of GSM, when Qualcomm had no monopolistic voice.

But by now, it's completely different, no matter what WCDMA, CDMA2000... All of these 3G standards are closely related to CDMA.

So no manufacturer in any country involved in 3G technology could bypass their Qualcomm patented technology, and the six mobile phone manufacturers complaining to the EU said yes without hesitation after receiving a signal from the new chairman, Andy Smith, that they were willing to sit down and negotiate.

As for the stick, Andy was very careful with the stick government, so he quickly made a decision, "If you don't want your face, then let them investigate. Even if they lose as expected, they won't get a fine and keep appealing!

By the way, the Department of Public Relations could have increased its lobbying for Washington, D.C., contacted the mainstream media, and taught sticks a lesson. This is trade protectionism. Last week, at the meeting of G-7 finance ministers and central bank governors, countries were emphasizing their opposition to trade protectionism, combining the entire semiconductor industry of four-star companies, which is clearly local protection! ”

“Okay, Chairman. ”

Andy looked at the head of the PR department who was in a hurry to respond, nodded satisfactorily and taught the stick a lesson, which was inevitable.

Although Qualcomm's Qualcomm taxes are really rogue, many countries and manufacturers hate teething.

You know, one of the top three terms of the Qualcomm tax is that patent fees are charged at five percent of the base amount as a whole.

In other words, a hundred dollars worth of cell phones is paid to Qualcomm for five dollars, even if you build an airplane, worth a billion dollars, and if you use Qualcomm chips, you have to give Qualcomm 50 million dollars...

Absolutely dark enough!

Andy was very clear about these situations, but he would never change them, you know, it was all a wise decision made early on by Qualcomm, and it was a very, very valuable legacy for Andy, who had become chairman of the board, and that's what he bought Qualcomm for?

Now the sticks are challenging Qualcomm's ‘standards’, without severely chopping off the outstretched paws, there will be more national red Qualcomm taxes, anti-monopoly investigations into Qualcomm, and ‘fines’.

In particular, the local protection of the sticks has always been considered one of the “stick features”, which of course can also be considered a patriotic psychology of the sticks, resulting in the protection of the culture and economy of the country.

But in high-tech areas such as mobile phones, they still face a serious risk of intrusion despite having four-star and LG, the first and second tiers of cell phones.

Not to mention that Qualcomm was targeted with anti-monopoly weapons by the stick government, and even Apple was treated the same way, even worse than Qualcomm.

Apple's stick division is currently being investigated by antitrust agencies as a result of the global explosion of crazy phones, and the stick government claims that Apple is suspected of forcing operators to enter into unequal treaties.

Because Apple includes various "minimum sales" figures in contracts forcibly signed by operators in stick countries. This is also why Apple was investigated earlier by the French antitrust agency, in fact, essentially because such a carrier agreement affects the sale of local phones.

Do you have a familiar feeling about operator underwriting, channel underwriting?

At the end of the two-hour meeting, Andy returned to the chairman's office and took another hour to interview 10 assistants, leaving five of them with his team of assistants in Qualcomm so that he could be in command remotely whenever he was away.

Of course, an absolutely professional assistant, close to a little assistant, would be enough to have a Tory Black.

Towards noon, Andy finished his work and took his bodyguards to the apron on the roof, where he boarded a helicopter and flew to his Freedom City mansion.

Daddy-daddy-daddy--

Ivana stood on a steel and glass viewing platform, long blonde hair and a sky-blue floral skirt floating with the sea breeze, the helicopter slowly landed in the air, and after stabilising, Andy walked off the helicopter, waving a smile at Ivana.

“Tick--”

Andy quickly made the WhatsApp sound as he walked to the mansion and changed his phone mode.

“ ‘Oh, mygod... Oh, my God, God, this is... Whoo...'. ”

Andy had the same happy smile on his face when he watched the girl in the video excited and had a hard time.

Gift rose, hands smell good!

“Honey, what makes you so happy? ”

At this point, Ivana just walked down the stairs and saw Andy smiling very happily at his phone and smiling sunshine.

“The girl in Maryland was surprised by what we gave her, and this video was taken by her family...” Andy handed the phone to Ivana.

Ivana smiled sweetly, watching everything that happened after she received the letter from Jordan Wells in the video, and the smile on her face grew softer and sweeter.

“Giving happiness to others is the best way to harvest happiness, and it is easiest for those who sow happiness to do so themselves.

Honey, you're a niceguy! ”

Andy shook his head and smiled, reaching over Ivana's waist and kissing her intimately on her red chun.

“Step--”

At this point, Martin walked in from outside the house and said to Andy, who looked at him, "Boss, you've got two pickups and a flat trailer. ”

Ivana frowned and looked at Andy, and Andy shook his head with a smile and explained, “You can't really run all the time, there are six or seven hundred bags left. Seriously, I'm crazy, too. I can use a trailer. Why should I carry it with my hands... ”

“Pfft -”

“Oh...” Ivana couldn't help laughing and laughing at the twigs.
