Chapter 239 Patent Fist in the Mobile Phone Market
These days, Huang Chaoren has led Bloomberg to familiarize himself with the market environment in Europe, and the entire schedule is very full.
It’s not that Huang Chaoren doesn’t want Bloomberg to have time to rest, but that he is rushing to dominate the markets of other Asian countries except Daxia.
As for the people in charge of the United States and Australia?
Sorry, Jiuzhou Technology does not yet have offices or persons in charge in these two places.
If a customer here has a damaged Jiuzhou Technology product, he or she can directly mail it to the warehouse in the nearest country for replacement or return to the headquarters for repair.
Gu Qing looked down on the Australian market, but he still valued the American market, so Huang Chaoren and Bloomberg were accompanied by a couple - Hardy and Linda.
The two families are quite powerful in North America, and their cooperation with Kyushu Technology can be regarded as a strong alliance.
Especially with these two in charge, Gu Qing at least doesn't have to worry about waking up one day and suddenly receiving a call from Huang Chaoren or someone else, who was invited to tea as soon as he got off the plane in a foreign country.
As the users of the last internal global selection of the bionic mechanical prosthetic limb project, Hardy and Linda still have a sense of belonging to Jiuzhou Technology. As for the issue of loyalty?
The intelligent program inside the bionic prosthetic limb has a listening backdoor, and Xuanwu can monitor abnormalities at all times...
Jiuzhou Technology's big plan for next year is to spread its products globally.
For the rest of 2019, it is necessary to organize and plan the markets in other countries that once grew wildly, and cut off scalpers and intermediary distributors.
For this reason, the security department has once again begun to recruit military veterans in large numbers, and the monthly selection of titan bionic mechanical prostheses is once again biased towards relevant personnel or relatives and friends of the power departments of various countries.
“Who can resist the temptation to embrace a better life again? Accepting pain is just a compromise with yourself.”
In October, other home appliances, including washing machines, will begin to be mass-produced, and the November promotions will definitely be red.
After the development of the domestic market, the first half of 2020 will be the development of foreign markets.
Gu Qing issued similar instructions to the management and all R&D teams.
This situation is rare, but once in a while, it can increase the pressure on everyone's shoulders.
After all, no one wants to make the big boss unhappy.
While the ecology was preparing to build up its strength, Xia Wei held several high-level management meetings in succession. After dismantling a bunch of Jiuzhou Technology's displays in the laboratory in 2012, he finally made up his mind to win Jiuzhou Technology's OLED rolling screen. .
Rotating chairman Xu Qujun took action, relying on Xiawei's huge advantages in patented equipment, communication components and market penetration, and he was unyielding in the negotiations.
Although there were no threats or small moves, it was such a hard-fought negotiation that Dong Qi could only barely defend during the negotiation.
Yes, your Jiuzhou Technology has a strong screen. This screen that is so soft that it can be rolled up is amazing.
However, without 5G support, no advanced wifi module, and no powerful chip, this screen can only be used for watching videos.
However, after Dong Qi was strongly pressed several times in the front, he seemed to have bottomed out and began to argue with reason.
“As long as our company’s screen technology and products are made public, will we worry about having no cooperative companies?”
This sentence choked Xu Qujun, chairman of Xiawei, to death.
Jiuzhou Technology’s rollable OLED screen is indeed a scorpion cake – it’s the only one and it’s so delicious.
In the end, the two sides returned to normal negotiations.
In fact, this is also normal.
No matter how pleasant the cooperation between Jiuzhou Technology and Xia Wei was before, that was under the premise of not violating the interests of both parties, and what Jiuzhou Technology is plotting now is Xia Wei's interests.
Xia Wei is greedy for Jiuzhou Technology's screens, but he doesn't want to let go of the patents and advantageous products in his hands easily. Of course, Xu Qujun and other Xia Wei executives also knew that the background of Jiuzhou Technology would not allow them to act recklessly, so no matter what, the war could only be limited to the negotiation table.
To finance the purchase of patented technology, the other party firmly refused.
They invested money and technology and occupied 51% of the shares of the new brand, but the other party still firmly refused.
In the short term, there is no way to continue talking about this.
In the high-level meeting, some executives also mentioned that all Jiuzhou Technology products would be included in the blacklist of all Xiawei products.
For example, Xiawei and Honor mobile phones are not allowed to install [Boundary Markers], Xiawei routers are not allowed to connect Jiuzhou Technology’s smart home robots to the Internet, and a series of other measures.
But this obviously short-sighted proposal was immediately rejected by most people.
However, discussions come and go, and the equity division of the new brand between the two parties is still at a standstill.
The negotiations reached a deadlock.
The central office building of Jiuzhou Science and Technology Park.
"Xia Wei still wants 51 to have the decisive say. It can even divide the same shares with different rights to increase our dividend to 60%." Dong Qi said to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing nodded when he heard this: "What they want is the final say. In the longer term, they want to get the patents and technology we gave them at the critical moment.
What is the use of dividends?
The future of the new brand, combined with the technology and superior market positions of our two companies, looks good, but it is an illusory future. We still need to invest heavily in the early stage, and there will be no profit at all. "
Dong Qi looked thoughtful when he heard what he said.
After a moment, he shook his head and said: "Ke Xiawei is still a giant with a dominant position for us, and its pioneering We need market and R&D patents. Otherwise, we can only go to Qualcomm for communications and chips for new brand mobile phones. ”
Dong Qi said that this situation is actually not surprising.
Most domestic mobile phone manufacturers in Daxia use Qualcomm chips, such as mainstream domestic mobile phone brands such as Rice and Bluegreen Plus.
After all, there are only three companies in the world that have high-end and high-performance processors: Xia Wei, Pingguo, and Hanxing.
A smartphone contains more than just a chip. Every other component has a patent, such as the battery, camera, various sensors, power interface, and USB interface.
There is another thing that ordinary consumers don’t notice but is everywhere – agreement.
Each communication protocol of 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G has thousands of patents. If the corresponding authorization is not obtained, mobile phones cannot even communicate using the network.
In addition, there are Bluetooth protocols, wifi protocols, charging protocols, MP4 video playback and a lot of protocols.
If you want to implement a function, you need to obtain a lot of protocols.
Of course, manufacturing products does not require authorization from an agreement. If you do it behind closed doors, no one can control it.
But as long as you want to sell it in the market and do not pay this "protection fee", the patent stick can even bring down a company directly.
PS: Prize-winning answer: There used to be a mobile phone brand that was doing very well in China, but after going overseas, it was severely beaten due to patent issues.
Book friends who know about it can join the book club group and post their answers after being unbanned at 0:00 a.m. on October 8th. The first one to answer correctly will get a small red envelope, and you can add a piece of ham to your instant noodles tomorrow~
