Chapter 440: There Is No Free Lunch Under the World

No matter how strong the company is, when it comes to specific decisions, it is also decided by some people or a small number of people.

As a chick in the international market, it is absolutely unrealistic for Yuanqi Technology to rely on figuring out the intricate relationship network within the opponent, and then knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles.

First, Yuanqi Technology does not have such a strong intelligence network, and second, the competition between manufacturers is far from reaching such a fierce level.

Even Isabella, who was sent by the other party, was a novice who was temporarily launched.

After all, even Wu Tao can see her methods, so she is naturally not a professional commercial spy.

So Wu Tao is also a fake and real shout, although he is a bit of a scoundrel and splashy, as long as he can fool people.

Even if you can't fool around, it doesn't matter. Think of something else!

Fortunately, before dinner, the phone in the hotel room finally rang.

Wu Tao picked it up and listened to it, it was the voice of his old friend Pete, and after a brief conversation in English, he hung up the phone.

Ericsson took the initiative to invite, and it seems that his words have worked.

Otherwise, it is not possible to prepare the basic patent list and organize a business negotiation team in such a short time.

What's more, the two sides have a foundation for cooperation before.

In addition, Ericsson is also the main business in the field of domestic telecommunications equipment, and under the comprehensive trade-offs, it is undoubtedly the most prudent for the other party to choose the mode of cooperation in the field of mobile phone products.

That night, Wu Tao took Tan Xiaofei and stepped into the inn that was inconspicuous at the door, but extremely elegant and luxurious inside.

Wu Tao can also see that in the French wine culture, wine undoubtedly occupies the mainstream, and even the decoration and atmosphere of this tavern are different.

It is not as passionate and lustful as other countries, but it is more elegant and fascinated, like a boiled frog in warm water, which makes people unconsciously indulge in it and can't extricate themselves.

This may be a potential reason why France is known as the land of romance.

Not long after the two appeared in the tavern, they found themselves.

Pete is also an old acquaintance, and at that moment, Wu Tao stretched out his hand and pointed, and asked Tan Xiaofei to go first, and he followed behind.

When I got closer, I found that Pete was sitting next to a middle-aged bearded Swede, Hans.

As soon as they met, the two first grabbed Tan Xiaofei's slender hand and gave a kiss.

Although the other party's unshaven mouth did not touch Tan Xiaofei's hand, it still scared her to goosebumps.

Fortunately, it's just the point.

Then Pete introduced: "Mr. Hans has come to the headquarters to cooperate with you......"

Wu Tao nodded with a smile on his face, but he thought in his heart, I almost believed it.

Naturally, he will not expose the matter. Not only that, but you also have to have a good chat with each other.

Then the two sides sat down and called the waiter to order a drink.

Then Hans got straight to the point, "Wu, you also know that Ericsson has made a great contribution to the establishment of GSM technical standards. It is the unspoken rule of the industry to charge patent license fees for companies that subsequently adopt GSM technical standards. ”

Wu Tao listened to the other party's clichΓ©s, nodded from time to time, and patiently waited for the other party to cut to the chase.

Hans said, gesturing to Pete, who took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and said: "This is the list of Ericsson's basic patents on the GSM technical standard, and you can see how complex and huge the GSM technical standard is. ”

Tan Xiaofei took it, glanced at it, and handed it to Wu Tao.

Wu Tao took it suspiciously, secretly wondering, these two Swedes have even prepared a list, what does it mean?

I flipped it open and looked at it, and I was immediately relieved.

This is obviously an unsorted list of patents, and it would be foolish to take it seriously.

Because he has seen it on Gu Xueli's side, the total number of patents involved in GSM technical standards is only about 100, which is still the sum of the joint provision of several giants.

Now Ericsson's family has taken out nearly 100 pieces, how is this possible?

Fortunately, Hans changed his words, "Don't get me wrong, Wu. Ericsson does not want to use this list to bargain with your company or negotiate any terms, but to show your company our sincerity. ”

β€œ...... In view of the friendly cooperation between the two sides and the principle of Ericsson's support for the Chinese market, the company has decided to share these patent standards with your company for free for a period of five years!"

The more Hans spoke, the more impassioned he became, almost touching himself.

After that, looking at Wu Tao, who was indifferent and had a mediocre reaction, the excitement was almost uncontrollable.

Seeing this, Pete thought that Wu Tao was dissatisfied with something, and immediately added: "Wu, if you think the sharing period is a bit short, we can discuss it again." ”

Wu Tao came back to his senses when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "No need, Mr. Pete." In fact, by giving YuanChi Technology three years, we can prove to you how wise the decision is. ”

Pete couldn't help but be stunned, daring to be affectionate was his own passion, and it didn't take that long for people to be amorous.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Ericsson proposed a five-year free sharing plan, and there is no lack of thoughts of 'pigs are fattened and then slaughtered'.

Wu Tao can even conclude that once five years later, Yuanqi Technology's patent layout is not enough to compete with giants such as Ericsson, the other party will definitely be the first to turn around and find trouble with Yuanqi Technology.

After a pause, Hans and Pete exchanged glances and added, "Wu, I have to remind you that since the patents related to the standards we provide are shared for free, we will not be responsible for any patent infringement disputes between you and other companies, such as Nokia or Alcatel. ”

What this means is that there must be overlap with other giants in these patent lists. Once you are torn apart, we will not get involved.

Wu Tao nodded for a long time: "Mr. Hans, that's nature!"

After that, he stretched out his hand: "I wish us both a happy cooperation!"

Hans did not forget to remind: "Wu, in view of the goodwill and support we provide, once Yuanqi Technology has a good opportunity for cooperation in the future, I hope you can consider us first." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Hans. I dare to assert that when Ericsson's mobile phone division encounters a crisis in the future, Yuanqi Technology will be the first to lend a hand. ”

Although this is a good sound, Hans and Pete always feel a little awkward in sounding it.

Pete shook his head and reminded kindly: "Although Ericsson has shown the greatest kindness to your company, Nokia and Alcatel still need you to deal with it yourself. ”

Wu Tao's eyes narrowed, "Thank you Mr. Pete for reminding me, there is an old saying in Huaxia, call the soldiers to block, and the water will cover the earth." Even if Nokia is not willing to cooperate with us now, I believe that it will not be long before they regret their decision!"

After speaking, Wu Tao exuded a confident momentum.

Seeing Hans and Pete looking at each other, they faintly felt a little happy.
