Chapter 85 Reaction (first update, please subscribe)
There is no doubt that we are lagging behind both 3G and 4G, and we are lagging far behind. A lot of patents are in the hands of others.
If I want to cut your leeks, you have to stand still! That's why we were so anxious when we started to overtake in curves, so disregarding our appearance and appearance.
After the Qualcomm tax was revealed, it actually caused a period of silence. This was the first time many people knew about such a thing.
Let me go and buy a mobile phone. It has nothing to do with you. I don’t need the hardware and I have to give you 5% of the price of the whole phone? Isn't this fatal?
Look at Wheat Company, which works hard to pursue cost-effectiveness. What is their gross profit margin?
In the early days, wheat was almost equated with "cheap", so when flagship phones were released later, they would not buy it, so they specifically separated out red rice in order to enhance their own status.
But in the end, Qualcomm did nothing and just made the profit!
This naturally makes many netizens uneasy and even somewhat sad.
Now that Wang Yi has reversed the tax and stated that it is 0.1% domestically and 0.2% abroad, a large number of people who like melons started to turn to fans, and all opinions were immediately suppressed.
This puts a lot of pressure on the minions of Fruit and Four Stars...
……
South Korea, four-star headquarters.
Four Stars is an absolute giant in South Korea. It touches every aspect and is almost impossible to leave.
When South Korea chose this method to take shortcuts, the effect was indeed quite outstanding. However, after the strong talker stepped down, things started to get a little out of control.
The fact that one term after another did not end well for the gossips is actually somewhat related to this. Without the emergence of powerful gossips, it will have no impact on groups like Four Stars at all.
It even began to be controlled and influenced in the opposite direction.
Moreover, after the financial crisis that year, when they were forced to open up capital injection to the beautiful country, although South Korea itself was weakened and became a tethered pet, for Four Stars, it was undoubtedly a good godfather. On the contrary, Got a lot of conveniences.
It is precisely because of this convenience that Four Star can compete directly with Fruit in the mobile phone business.
If Four Star is still South Korea's own company, I am afraid that such a challenge will be met with disapproval.
Now that the era of smartphones has begun, Four Star also attaches great importance to the mobile phone business. Moreover, Four Star's own advantage is that they have other related industrial chains. They can produce many spare parts such as screens themselves, which has made it a success. Their huge advantage.
Originally, a small piece of software would not alarm their headquarters, but with the fermentation on the Internet, the emergence of renderings, a large number of canceled orders, and the popularity of two new Chinese competing products, the popularity has skyrocketed.
In the end, this still came down to the decision of the headquarters.
The previous trolls and public opinion attacks were attempts by the branch, but they obviously failed.
"Excellent software, can we crack it quickly?"
An old man on the chair slowly spoke.
What is a patent? Anyway, I’ll just use it first!
Four Star likes to do this kind of thing very much. They also use Apple’s patents, and at worst they will be fined!
Anyway, Four Star is also the son of Wall Street now. Although he is only the godson, he can still enjoy some privileges.
"It's not easy to handle. He is a great mathematician. If we use him this way, we may lose the Chinese market."
Someone issued a warning, and it was obvious that a detailed investigation was conducted on Wang Yi.
If it’s just an ordinary company, it’s okay to use it. What can I do? At worst, I'll pay you some money and reward you later.
But people who are engaged in academics...
"The great mathematician? The mathematician who solved my guess? That's amazing."
Another person next to him was amazed.
Four Star's technical foundation is very strong. Wang Yi's influence after completing his lectures at the University of Pennsylvania was quite large, and he was praised by so many experts.
At that time, there was also a Korean in the circle of mathematicians who were criticized by Wang Yi, and he also had some connections with Four Stars.
Even the senior executive who spoke up knew that someone had already looked up Wang Yi's genealogy, and there was someone named Wang in South Korea!
What? No genealogy?
Wouldn't that be better...
"Hiss, it's this one."
Forget it for ordinary mathematicians, this kind of specification is really troublesome.
As they say, if you do something too straightforward, you will easily lose the entire Chinese market!
Four Star is different from fruit. It is mainly dependent on this market and cannot provide much benefit in reverse.
Even if Four Stars has a big business in the world, it would still be Amitabha to be stabbed like this.
"You will pay for a period of time first, and then set up an unrelated new company in China, saying that you have developed this kind of beauty. Then you can just pay a small fee to the new company.
"I am so proud of the fruit. We would have made a profit if we packaged it earlier and sold it to other countries."
Someone made a suggestion.
As for software, if you don’t copy it, there are ways to get around it once you find your ideas, right?
It’s not like a mountain like industrial software and systems. The dense patent wall leaves you at a loss.
"Can we talk about 0.1%? Wouldn't doubling it be too discriminatory against us?"
For the wealthy Four Stars, it is not impossible for them to pay the money, but the tax collection method and the price they increase are not very harmful but extremely insulting.
"I'm afraid not. The reason they call it 0.2% is probably because they see our global distribution capabilities. However, their local mobile phones are potential rivals..."
This year’s four-star sales topped the world!
However, this year it is obvious that it will be eliminated. The surviving Nokia is still ranked second in sales in the world, the fruit machine is slightly ranked third, and the fourth is also South Korea's LG.
It can be said that in the current mobile phone market, South Korea is definitely the undisputed number one in terms of sales volume.
Nokia can obviously see that it has run out of energy and is no longer a threat, but it still has to fight hard for the share it has left. If it can have this beauty to help, and the fruit machine is arrogant, it will still be more beneficial than Cons!
Moreover, if they don't join, China's mobile phone companies, which are ready to move, may be able to attack immediately.
This still makes them feel fearful and threatening...
"It will take time to negotiate early and get early benefits, and it will take some time to implant it."
"Then let's give it 0.2% and let him take it for a month! After one month, he will use the new company's implant. This is enough to give them face."
Even if it is only a 0.2% commission per month, it is still a large figure considering the shipment volume of Four Star.
More than half of this year has passed, and Four Star expects global shipments to exceed 400 million units!
Accounting for almost a quarter of the mobile phone industry!
There's nothing they can do about Qualcomm's tax collection, otherwise the pretty dad would have to file a lawsuit.
But here we respect the Chinese market and let you smoke for a month!
The protection fee of at least tens of millions of dollars is not enough for you, right?
It’s just a beauty program.
This fee is enough to give you face.
With this attitude, if you 'learn' from it later, you won't be accused of being too ugly. If you want to sue at that time, then go ahead. Anyway, it is a new company in our country, and there are many ways to delay it.
No matter what, he is also the godson of Wall Street! You guys are just doing it in your own country, just pay some money and settle the matter...
