Chapter 1192 Patent Barriers
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Fang Chen was playing tricks and bluffing.
They hold all the patents for the technology of dynamic image compression and transmission, and most of the experts of the Moving Picture Expert Group are their people, not to mention that they also have two key technologies that are indispensable for the DVD player, the laser head and the movement.
And what does Fang Chen have?
Half-crippled, without their patents, even a full film can not be played out of the dynamic image compression transmission technology?
Two solo members of the Moving Image Experts Group?
As for the technology of manufacturing DVD players, it is even more of a joke, the technical content of DVD players is really too low, their engineers made samples in three months, but how to mass produce is still a trouble, after all, mass production is not only the market of the technical department, it involves the production line, employees, procurement of raw materials and parts, and inspection and so on.
There is no problem with the supply of spare parts, and there are even many parts that do not have a second manufacturer in the world except for themselves.
Could it be the Huaxia market?
Although they admit that Fang Chen has great influence in Huaxia, it is indeed possible to ban them, otherwise their products will enter the Huaxia market.
However, if China wants to develop, it must attract foreign capital and the management methods and technologies of international enterprises, and the premise of obtaining these must be that China must become more open.
And if it can casually use administrative means to prevent the entry of some foreign enterprises' products, then what face does Huaxia have to say that it has become open and free, and it is a market economic system?
Not to mention, if Huaxia still wants to join the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, it naturally does not dare to do such a thing that violates the spirit of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
And as far as he knows, about the year after tomorrow, Huaxia will greatly reduce tariffs on a number of foreign products, many of which are electronic products, in fact, including televisions, computers, and so on, in order to obtain the qualification to enter the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
It can be said that when the time comes, it will be a massacre of Chinese enterprises by these international enterprises, with heads rolling and blood flowing all over the ground.
After all, you must know that the reason why some Chinese products can still survive in China is because the products of these international companies are too expensive.
However, apart from their cost and pricing factors, that is, how much money they want to make from the product, the most important component of this price is the tariff.
As one of the taxes collected by Huaxia, tariffs will be included in the selling price they sell to consumers, but after all, they will not get a penny of this part of the money.
In other words, tariffs made the price of their products more expensive out of thin air, but the increased part of the money did not fall into their hands, but into the hands of Huaxia.
Therefore, tariffs are also often used to protect local businesses in the country where the tariff is located.
But what's even more disgusting is that countries like Huaxia that host tariffs may collect their tariffs and then use the tariffs to subsidize Huaxia's enterprises, so that Huaxia's enterprises can thrive and become more powerful to compete with them for the market.
Their money is taken away to subsidize their enemies, and tariffs increase their selling prices and make them less competitive in the market, and there is simply no more disgusting tax.
According to the current tariff level in China, as long as the tariff can be reduced, the price of their products can be reduced a lot while ensuring that the profit remains unchanged.
This has brought about a sharp increase in competitiveness, and their products will greatly encroach on the Chinese market and squeeze the living space of similar Chinese enterprises.
Therefore, Da He Dianxiong thought about it, but he didn't know what Fang Chen could have that could threaten him?
Unless, Fang Chen intends to use his influence in the United States and Russia.
Then he will indeed kneel down and call Daddy.
But so far, he has not seen that Fang Chen has plans in this regard, but has been talking about business, but this attitude is too arrogant and reckless.
Looking at the expressions of Norio Ohga and the others, Fang Chen shook his head with a sigh, he really didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin.
He waved his hand, and Wu Maocai took out a thick document from the document bag in his hand and walked directly towards Ohga Norixiong.
Looking at Wu Maocai and the documents that almost hit his face, Dahe Dianxiong shouted at Fang Chen with some anger: "Fang Dong, what do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, Fang Chen froze for a moment, then blinked his eyes, patted his head, and said apologetically: "Forgot, forgot, this is my mistake, I forgot that Dahejun is from Dongwei and doesn't know much English, Erfu, you get him a copy of Dongwei." ”
As soon as Fang Chen's words fell, Dahe Dianxiong's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, his eyes erupted with fire, and he looked at Fang Chen with annoyance!
He was angry that Wu Maocai was about to slam the document in his face, not that he couldn't read the English on it.
He is a principal musician who graduated from the Munich Conservatory, often flies corporate planes to various places to attend business events, boasts about his roast beef in front of others, and can conduct internationally famous orchestras, how can he not read English.
The result was good, and Fang Chen used the topic to play again, and was severely humiliated.
With a cold snort, Dahe Dianxiong glanced at Fang Chen, and then picked up the Japanese document that Wu Maocai had newly replaced him with and looked at the company.
He wanted to see what kind of magic weapon Fang Chen had come up with, and he could actually speak like this.
If it's not of much use, then I can't complain that he will take back all the new and old hatreds from before!
It's a big deal, the three million families who bought the DynaSky DVD player will all give up!
But if you want him to relax in how many of Qingtian's patented technologies have entered international standards, don't even think about it!
Throwing these cranky thoughts aside in his mind, Norio Ohga looked down at the document in his hand.
It doesn't matter if you look at it.
Seeing that the beads of sweat on his forehead were rolling down, his eyes were bursting, and the thin red blood strands were winding and intertwining like tree roots, and the two eyeballs seemed to jump outside, and his wrists were trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing that Norio Ohga didn't speak for a long time, but this ghost looked like a ghost possessed, Albert couldn't help but look at the document in Norio Ohga's hand.
But what caught his eye was a piece of Japanese, he didn't know it, it didn't know him, he was really scratching his heart with a hundred claws, and he was very tormented.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, "This damn Ohga Norio can't even read English!"
If it weren't for the fact that Norio Ohga's English was not good, Fang Chen would have changed to a Japanese version, if it wasn't for the Japanese version, how could he not understand it.
So it's all the fault of Norio Ohga.
Seeing Albert's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, like sitting on pins and needles, Fang Chen couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and motioned for Wu Mao to give Albert another copy.
Getting the English version that he was fascinated and couldn't ask for, Albert thanked Fang Chen with some embarrassment.
He had long wanted to open his mouth to beg Fang Chen, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't open his mouth.
Albert looked down, and instantly fell into it like Norio Ohga, his face was hideous and terrifying, as if he was watching a thriller.
At this moment, while the curiosity of everyone present was aroused, their hearts fell even more, and there was a feeling that their eyes were shrouded in darkness.
With Albert's jade bead in front, many people originally wanted to wait for Fang Chen to take the initiative to send them documents.
But after waiting for two minutes, seeing that Fang Chen hadn't paid attention to their plans, he suddenly couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen, who watched it, laughed for a while, he really had the feeling that he was watching a silent movie era, Chaplin burlesque.
But the question is, Oga Norio naturally doesn't need to say, his main target for this meeting, and this Albert is also another giant of the Moving Picture Experts Group, the representative of Philips, and the rest of these people, what are they?
I couldn't stand it anymore, so some people could only get up and leave the table, walk to Wu Maocai's side, and whisper.
Seeing that they could indeed get the English version of the document from Wu Maocai, everyone couldn't sit still at all, and one by one, they also lined up to run to Wu Maocai, sat in a row, and ate the fruit to pick up the document.
Originally, some people still wanted to wait for others to read it, and then borrow other people's books themselves, so they didn't have to look at this face.
But unfortunately, after getting them one by one, they all hid themselves and looked at them by themselves, and no one was willing to share them.
As a result, a group of people fell into a petrified state.
I don't know how long it took, but Ohga Norio woke up first, his face was complicated, and he looked at Fang Chen with surprise and fear in anger.
After more than ten seconds, he asked in a gloomy tone: "Dong Fang, do you really think that getting a DVD player patent certificate can make us succumb?" You must know that if we don't give Qingtian authorization, Qingtian will still not be able to make a DVD player. ”
Well, that's right, what Fang Chen took out was the invention technology patent of the DVD player.
Moreover, Fang Chen not only registered the invention technology of the DVD player in Huaxia, but he also registered the invention technology patent for the DVD player almost everywhere in the world where he could register a patent.
It can be said that in order to register these patents, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is more than 3 million when converted into Huaxia currency.
After listening to Taylor's report on the registration of patents, Fang Chen could be regarded as a reason to understand why Jiang Wanmeng did not plan to register the patent of the DVD player in his previous life and present life.
In addition to not paying attention to it itself, there is also the feeling that patents are useless in China and the skepticism about whether the DVD player can sail out of the sea and fight a heavy siege abroad, and the most important thing is that the patent registration fee is really expensive.
The more than 3 million yuan he spent on registering the patent did not include the salaries and travel expenses of Taylor and many employees and in-house counsel throughout his overseas offices, but only went to the patent offices of various countries.
In addition, some patents can be mutually recognized between certain specific countries because of the treaty relationship, which means that patents registered in the United States can have the same effect in the United Kingdom, saving a lot of costs.
Otherwise, plus the salaries and travel expenses of Taylor and the others, let alone three million, it would be a question of whether six million could be stopped.
And Wanyan is certainly not as powerful as Qingtian, and there are so many offices overseas, which can only be completely entrusted to some patent agency companies in Xiangjiang or the United States.
This cost is going to go up in an instant, and if you want to register the same patent as the DynaSky DVD player, you don't have to think about it without 10 million.
After all, people also have to make money when they run a company.
And with this 10 million, is it not good for Wan Yan to give ten big fat pigs to each of the employees?
Why spend on this kind of patent, which is of little use to Jiang Wanmeng?
Of course, the reason why so much money is spent is more because of Fang Chen.
In addition to the internal principle and the installation position and function of each component, etc., Fang Chen has registered thirty or forty patents for all kinds of shells of the DVD player, including square, round, flat, like a ball, which can be described as a variety of strange shapes.
Otherwise, it would not be just a patent registration fee of three million.
Anyway, Fang Chen has one purpose, so that Sony and Philips can't bypass his thick patent barriers, not to mention its production of video players, as long as they use MP1 and related extension technology, the production of audio and video games and other playback equipment, as long as there is no authorization from Qingtian.
It can be said that the documents they took were not the certificates of the patent for the Dynamomum DVD player, but just a catalog.
If it is all the patent certificates, it is estimated that an entire office can be paved.
"If you can't, you can't, what I said before is that you can't make a DVD player, and I can't make you a DVD player. Fang Chen said with an indifferent expression.
Looking at Fang Chen's face, a scoundrel who was fearless and shameless, Dahe Dianxiong suddenly felt that he couldn't get up in one breath!
It's so deceitful!
But in the next second, Norio Oga's heart was filled with a deep sense of frustration.
Fang Chen's move, is he familiar with it?
It's all too familiar, for large technology companies like them, registering a large number of patents, forming their own patent barriers, so that competitors can't bypass the patent barriers they have set, and have to surrender to themselves and pay a large number of patent licensing fees, which is simply a basic exercise.
But he never imagined that Qingtian, a backward, weak and ignorant enterprise from China, who did not know about international rules, would actually know this hand.
Norio Ohga now really has a feeling of being counterattacked by the other way, and there is an indescribable discomfort.
In fact, Sony also arranged for someone to register various patent certificates for the DVD player, and even this was not arranged by him, but the company's own set of standard procedures.
For a top international company like Sony, the whole company has a very complete set of processes to ensure that it can win more profits and rights.
But looking at it now, it's late, and it's over.
