The so-called technology authorization is to collect protection fees from them, and it is a steady stream of collection.

In the field of Walkmans, Sony was charged royalties for some patents developed by Tiangong Electronics, resulting in Sony paying six US dollars in patent royalties to Tiangong Electronics Group for each Walkman produced and sold.

At that time, it was regarded as a shame by Sony, and at the internal meeting, it also voted to approve the proposal to increase investment in technology research and development, just to accumulate greater technological advantages, so as not to be sucked by the competitor Tiangong Electronics Group.

This time, the CD laser disc technology was also established within the company, in order to manufacture CD Walkman and open up a new market.

If you agree to this again, won't you be sucked by Tiangong Electronics Group like last time?

So before coming, Sony has already analyzed the pros and cons, this time Tiangong Electronics Group's unique technical nature is different from the last time, Tiangong Electronics Group has not directly pushed the technology to the market, and does not occupy a favorable market position, and the technology is not irreversible.

Therefore, Sony and Philips have reached an agreement, this time to unite to force Tiangong Electronics Group to back down, it is impossible to pay royalties, it is a big deal, they do not believe that Tiangong Electronics, a company that has only been established for a few years, can fight against them and the old order.

Of course, if you don't fight it best, after all, direct confrontation requires a high cost, which will affect the CD-DA standards alliance that they have jointly ruled so far, and there is also an uncertain risk.

In their plan, the best-case scenario is to directly purchase the patents held by Tiangong Electronics Group.

If not, it is a patent exchange, with the technical background of Philips and Sony, the number of patented technologies in all aspects is absolutely crushing Tiangong Electronics Group, and a small part can be taken.

Now Huo Jianning proposed that the patent could be swapped, but Matsumoto Nozomi and Demps Jerry glanced at each other and reached an agreement in an instant.

Continue to strive for the initiative in negotiations, and even if technology exchange is required, we will try to exchange technology of a lower grade as much as possible.

Demps Jerry continued to sing with a white face, and said with a straight face: "President Huo, it is impossible to pay the technology royalty, I just said that some of the technologies owned by Tiangong Electronics Group are not irreplaceable, and our company and Sony have also carried out related research and development, but Tiangong Electronics Group is a little luckier and produces results first." ”

"Philips has a large enough scientific research system, as long as enough money is invested, it can go another way. ”

"President Huo, if you were me, would you choose to give the money to other companies, or would you invest the money in R&D to obtain a batch of exclusive technologies?"

Huo Jianning didn't say anything, he smiled lightly: "If it were me, I would definitely choose to pay patent royalties, use the technology as soon as possible, and bring the product to the market to make a profit, isn't it? After making money, I will develop the next generation of technology." ”

Demps Jerry choked suddenly, some couldn't get off the stage, his face darkened, he looked at Huo Jianning very dissatisfied, and said angrily:

"Mr. Huo, do you have an attitude towards your partners?"

Huo Jianning glanced at Demps Jerry, and said inexplicably: "Tiangong Electronics and Philips have cooperation and competition, what attitude I have, it depends on what attitude Philips has brought to me, isn't it?"

Demps Jerry's eyebrows were furious.

Obviously, his white-faced performance failed, which boosted Huo Jianning's momentum.

Matsumoto saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stood up to play a round.

"President Jerry, calm your mind. ”

After speaking, Matsumoto looked at Huo Jianning again, and said dissatisfiedly: "President Huo, we came to the door with sincerity, and we have always been partners. ”

"There is an old saying in China, 'If you have friends from afar, you don't have to say it!', we will come to discuss cooperation with you, as the host, even if you don't welcome it warmly, you won't be coldly ridiculed, right?"

"This is inevitably not in line with your image and identity, and if it spreads, it may also lose the face of the Chinese people. ”

Matsumoto Wang beat this hand and put a high hat on Huo Jianning.

couldn't help but make Huo Jianning look up at him.

Good guy, sure enough, the people of the island country have some research on Chinese culture, and the level of this display has to be paid attention to.

Originally, he also wanted to cooperate, but since Matsumoto wanted to play a round and gave him face and steps, he also restrained his edge a little.

He didn't look at Demps Jerry, but smiled and said to Matsumoto Nozomi, "President Matsumoto, your attitude is like talking about cooperation." ”

"You also said this, and I will also give you face. ”

"I'll just say that in the face of the CD-ROM format we are developing now, the Redbook CD-DA standard for CD laser discs has lagged behind and has great limitations. ”

"Tiangong Electronics intends to take the lead in establishing a new data disc standard, and if Sony is willing to join, we are very welcome, and we are very willing to share the technology. ”

"But we have invested a lot of money in developing these technologies, and if Sony wants to use them, they can choose to pay a royalty or swap the technology we need. ”

The real purpose of Tiangong Electronics is to establish a new industry standard?

This is to subvert the order established by Sony and Philips!

Become the leader of the martial arts alliance yourself!

When Huo Jianning threw out his true purpose, Matsumoto Wang and Demps Jerry were greatly shocked.

At this moment, where do they still have the mind to dwell on what technology royalties or technology exchanges.

Tiangong Electronics Group is going to rebel against them and subvert their industry dominance, how can this be?

To establish industry standards, it is also Sony and Philips to build, where is the turn to get Tiangong Electronics Group?

Originally, Tiangong Electronics Group was very threatening, the biggest shortcoming is that it was just established this year, the foundation is very thin, if Tiangong Electronics Group really set up a standard maker, then the future Sony and Philips will face greater competitive pressure.

There is only one cake, Sony and Philips are enough, and the cake cannot be robbed by Tiangong Electronics, nor can it cost the third person to cut the cake!

There was no need to communicate, but Matsumoto Nozomi and Demps Jerry were very consistent.

Demps Jerry said stiffly: "President Huo, the CD-DA standard has only been established for two years, and it can still adapt to the current data disc field, at most on this basis, at most we are already in the process of standard optimization internally, I believe it will not take long for you to receive the invitation letter." ”

Matsumoto nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, I will definitely notify Tiangong Electronics Group when the time comes." ”

"Of course, this will take some time, and we will let you know when we discuss it internally. ”

"As for the technology that Tiangong Electronics Group has now, well...... I personally have a sincere suggestion, Tiangong Electronics can be with our Sony and Philips patent exchange, of course, in return, we will include part of the technology of Tiangong Electronics Group in the scope of standard optimization and expansion, if the existing standard members want to use the relevant technology, need to pay the technology royalty. ”

"Of course, we will also do our best to promote, for the long-term development of the Standards Alliance, the Alliance Management Committee will draw a certain reasonable share. ”

"But in general, Tiangong Electronics Group was able to make enough profits with these technologies. ”

Hearing Matsumoto Wang's righteous words, Huo Jianning almost laughed angrily.

According to Matsumoto Wang's suggestion, that is, the standard is still dominated by Sony and Philips, this standard alliance is equivalent to a platform, Tiangong Electronics Group because of its technical advantages, you can put the technology on the platform, Philips and Sony after the technology exchange for a free trial, other members pay the technology fee, but after the technology fee is paid, a part of it should be given to Sony and Philips as a "platform fee and promotion fee".

In the final analysis, although Tiangong Electronics has a higher status than other members, and it is indeed able to make a lot of money with technology, the essence is still working for Philips and Sony.

Just like Taobao platform and Taobao store owners, Sony and Philips are the owners of Taobao platform, and Tiangong Electronics Group is Taobao store owners, the difference is that Tiangong Electronics Group's stores have been directly upgraded to several stars.

That's right, it looks like Matsumoto is a step back.

But!

Tiangong Electronics Group still has not become a shareholder or even operator of the platform!

This is not what Tiangong Electronics wants!

In order to become the creator of the second-generation data disc standard, Chairman Xia Yu has invested so much capital to pave the way for Tiangong Electronics, how can he disappoint the chairman?

Therefore, Huo Jianning didn't bother to talk nonsense with Matsumoto Wang and Demps Jerry, and said directly: "Two, the new standard, our Tiangong Electronics Group will definitely be established, if Sony and Philips join late or not, the loss is definitely you." ”

"I can tell you directly that we're going to put these technologies on the market, whether anybody joins or not. ”

"We welcome all companies from all over the world to join us and have the confidence to compete with all companies!"

"Including Sony and Philips!"

The words were loud and full of momentum, and the resolute meaning revealed by those deep eyes made the faces of Matsumoto and Demps Jerry change greatly.

Matsumoto was anxious.

But his mind was still clear.

He hurriedly said: "President Huo, the technology of Tiangong Electronics Group has not yet reached the point of being introduced to the market, and now it is being pushed to the market, which will only make the CD disc market chaotic, which is extremely detrimental to the development of the industry." ”

Demps Jerry added: "President Huo, it is difficult to get the support of relevant companies when immature technology is promoted to the market. ”

"The industrial chain of the vinyl market is very large, and the current record companies are all vested interests in the vinyl industry, and the technical CD disc technology is distinctive, but in the case of chaotic standards, there will definitely be no record companies to support it. ”

"I can guarantee that PolyGram International Co., Ltd. will never venture to invest hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars to support the immature technology of Tiangong Electronics Group!"

Nozomi Matsumoto said, "Columbia Records will not support it either. ”

Huo Jianning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Demps Jerry and Matsumoto Wang, who had a resolute gaze, and even had a hint of warning, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

It was this unexpected smile that made Matsumoto Nozomi and Demps Jerry burst out in their hearts.

"Are you threatening me?"
