Chapter 321: A relatively good result

With these words from Steve Jobs, there was an instant deathly silence, and everyone looked at Jobs in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe it was true.

After all, the media reporters invited here today all know a little about Internet technology, and they all understand that the most important thing for an Internet company like Lombardy is servers and data. Because whether it's an email account or a search engine, they don't just appear out of thin air. They all need a server to host them, and all of their users access their services by visiting their servers.

Now if Apple were to stop all server operations, it would mean that all of Lombardi's business would have to be forcibly stopped, which is undoubtedly very unacceptable.

However, the shutdown of the server is acceptable. After all, just replace the server. But the sealing of the database is the most complete blow to Lombardy. This is because the company's data, the website code, all customer data, etc., are all in the database.

It can be said that the database is everything about Lombardi. Once the database is blocked, it is like setting the company on fire and burning everything down. Although the company's shell is still there, everything inside is gone, and everything must be started from scratch.

It's like a master of online literature who was writing an epic novel on his computer when suddenly it crashed and he hadn't saved it. Although he could start again from the beginning, the mood at the time was undoubtedly very desperate. But the point is that some things have already been transmitted, and the author will definitely not be able to write it in the same way again. If the interval is too long, readers will forget the previous plot and naturally stop following it.

'Mr Jobs, are you joking?' asked a stunned Tang An.

'Mr. Tang An, do you think I'm joking right now?' Jobs asked Tang An in return. 'I am now formally notifying you on behalf of Apple Inc. that due to your breach of contract, we will have to terminate the contract, as well as all our services, and seal the database.'

Jobs repeated himself, and his words were like a heavy bomb that stunned Tang An at the time. The other reporters were in an uproar, and they once again raised their cameras and kept taking pictures of Jobs, while also threw questions at Jobs such as 'Is this for real?', 'Is Apple going to join forces with Zhou Ming to suppress Lombardy?', and 'Is this a form of competition?'

And to Jobs wanted to answer each of these questions, but it was clear that Tang An would not give him the chance. As soon as the reporters started asking their questions, Tang An shouted, 'That's enough!'

While the reporters were stunned, Tang An said to Jobs, the reporters were stunned, he said to Steve Jobs, 'I always thought that Apple was a big company with great integrity, but I never thought it would stoop to such despicable behaviour. Mr Jobs, you say we have breached the contract, but where exactly have we breached the contract? How is it possible have to stop all services, seal up data and sue us so severely?'

Without waiting for Jobs to answer, Zhou Ming stepped forward to help him answer: 'I'm sorry, but I have no comment.'

Tang An almost choked with anger, he pointed his finger at Zhou Ming and shouted, 'What do you mean by "no comment"?

(This chapter is not yet finished, please turn the page) I think it was your idea in the first place. Our Lombardy company has not actually breached any contract. Everything is a fraud created by you all!'

'If if you insist that it is a fraud, then why are you afraid to take our lawsuit or report it to the police directly? Doesn't this show that you have something to hide?' Tang Ran said in surprise.

Then Jobs also followed suit, saying, 'Mr Tang An, if you want to prove that you have not breached the contract, isn't the best way to do so through the law? The United States is a country with the rule of law. If you win the lawsuit, then you have the right to demand that Apple compensate Lombardy for all the losses it has suffered over this period of time, with the support of the law.'

Tang Ran were still just leaving Tang An speechless, but Steve Jobs' words made Tang An want to spit blood.

Tang An was born and raised in the United States, so of course he understood the practice of claiming compensation in litigation. The key was time. Lawsuits between companies like this could easily can easily drag on for years. Even if after a few years he can prove that he has not breached the contract, he can still sue Apple for compensation. But what's the point? The best time has already passed. Other companies have long since replaced Lombardi.

Not to mention not to mention that claiming compensation at that time would be another lawsuit, and at that time, having lost everything, one would not have the money to fight that lawsuit.

'I understand that Jobs, you and Zhou Ming Tang Ran are in cahoots. It wasn't us who breached the contract, but you who deliberately found this pretext for breach of contract, with the malicious aim of targeting my Lombardi company. Since it is no longer possible to compete in a normal way, you want to sneak up on us in this despicable way, right? You are all a pack of filthy, despicable scoundrels!'

Tang An first pointed accused Zhou Ming and Jobs, and then turned to all the reporters and said, 'I think everyone has seen it, right? This is Zhou Ming. This is Jobs. They are a group of lawless bandits, business bullies. They saw the unstoppable rise of Lombardi on the internet and their companies are being defeated one after the other, so they will resort to this kind of extremely despicable behaviour to forcibly curb it.'

'Can you understand this behaviour?' Tang An said, 'It's like in a basketball game, when one team sees that the other team is getting further and further ahead, they will immediately tear off their mask of civility and resort to dirty fouls to win. This is a very unsportsmanlike way to behave and is to be despised!'

Tang An spoke scolding, Zhou Ming also said to all the media at this time: 'I think everyone knows who is really lawless and who has behaved badly, right? Obviously, solve through the law, but he has to abuse here, nothing more than trying to go through channels outside the law, why is this? Apart from the fact that he knows his breach of contract, everything we do is reasonable and legal, I can't think of any other explanation.'

'You're nonsense. The thief is crying thief. We have not committed any breach of contract. We have always abided by the contract in using the equipment of the Epay company. It is you who are deliberately looking for trouble with Lombardi through this excuse!

'If things is really like you said, then let's settle it in court, why do you have to distort the facts in front of the media friends like this?' Zhou Ming asked.

'Of course a thorny problem that is difficult to solve in law itself! It is not the case that if I resort to the law, the court will immediately support my claim and rule that you pay compensation...'

(This chapter is not . This time, before Tang An could finish, Wood stopped him and said, 'Of course there is no problem with the law. If they can successfully sue, it means that we may have made some mistakes in some way, so we also need the law to support our justice.'

With Wood these words, Tang An suddenly realised how foolish his actions had been. He had actually started criticising the law. How was this different from a child rolling around on the floor after being wronged? After Tang An also felt that it was very difficult for Wood to remain calm in such a situation and say such words.

Wood's frank words also surprised Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin, and alerted Zhou Ming, who felt that this was a difficult opponent.

Wood then stood up and walked over to Zhou Ming and said to him, 'I never thought you would call upon Epay to attack Lombardi's software and hardware facilities. This is indeed a well-aimed shot, but that's about it. rest assured, as long as you initiate this lawsuit, I will help Lombardi win this lawsuit, and then I will make you pay until you are bankrupt!'

Leaving . With these words, Wood left the room with Tang An and the other Lombardi company members, and as they left, the reporters present gave a loud cheer.

Wood and Tang went outside to listen to the cheers coming from inside. Wood angrily scolded Tang Ran, 'You never learn! You really were a disgrace just now!'

'I'm sorry Mr Wood,' Tang An said honestly, 'but I was really angry just now. How could they be so shameless? It was obvious that they were making up excuses to shut down our business, and they even called in so many reporters. It was clearly intentional...'

'So what ? 'Wood interrupted Don before he could finish, 'The fact has already been created, and it is irreversible. You have to accept it, not roll around on the ground like a child who didn't get candy, which will only be taken as a joke. Think Think back to just now, after Jobs said he would sue you, did everything you said sound like the antics of a clown?

Tang An lowered his head and said, 'Mr. Wood, I'm really very sorry, I was too rash, but I really can't accept this!'

Wood then but laughed, saying, 'You are unwilling because you regard Lombardi as the only thing in the present. Do you think that a small company like Lombardi can really shake the big tree that is Tang Bank? Or have you changed your goal and no longer regard Tang Bank as your goal?'

'Of course not . This is my biggest goal!' Tong An replied to Wood.

'Since Tang Bank is your goal, why do you insist on a Lombardy company?' Wood felt very puzzled, said, 'It's hard to save it, but it's still not saved. Just let it die! Since Zhou Ming and the others want to bring down Lombardi, then let them do it. Our next goal is to fully focus on the battle against the situation in the clan and officially begin.'

Tang An then let out a breath and laughed, 'Yes, we still have many friends, and they have all sided against Tang Jingsheng. With their help, we will definitely win!'

'So today's event can be considered a relatively good result. At least it has brought forward the day when I can really get started,' Wood said with a smile.
