Chapter 802 CDMA Authorization Renewal

Zhou Shi said that he was confident that Spreadtrum would have obtained CDMA patent authorization, in fact, how could things be so simple, Qualcomm had been staring at Spreadtrum for a day or two, if it weren't for the fact that Fruit Nuts maintained a large order for Qualcomm, Qualcomm and Spreadtrum's patent war did not know how many rounds had been there. There are only two companies in the market that can license CDMA patents, and every move between Spreadtrum and Verizon will probably be watched. However, because of the lack of business and the significant reduction in R&D investment, their baseband chip is still 55nm, and the current mainstream is 28, and the gap is not a little bit.

Spreadtrum wants to obtain the patent authorization of Weirui Dentsu, the resistance is not only in Wanwan, but also in Qualcomm, Samsung and Apple in the previous life have not obtained CDMA patent authorization, and he really does not have much confidence in this. Of course, after a few years, the CDMA patented technology expires, and Spreadtrum can learn from Samsung to launch a full Netcom mobile phone chip without paying any price, but what to do before the patent expires? Give the market to Qualcomm and Spreadtrum?

"Has the Israeli communication baseband chip company negotiated?"

"It's almost there!" Hu Zuniu was strange, such a trivial matter had to be asked?

"Don't rush to complete the acquisition just yet, here's how it goes......," Zhou Shi said, especially the importance of CDMA patents to Spreadtrum.

"This bureau is a bit big!" Hu Zuniu

"Is there any difficulty?" Zhou Shi, in his imagination, may need to mislead the judgment of Weirui Dentsu, thinking that the Israeli company is behind Intel and other companies, and then when Spreadtrum and MediaTek are in a stalemate, he uses the Israeli company to snatch love, buy the CDMA patent license, and finally let Spreadtrum buy the company. This kind of thing that kills three birds with one stone is very simple to remember, but it is really difficult to operate.

"It's a little more complicated, but the probability of success is very high!" Hu Zuniu

Of course, this matter is complicated, but for Weirui Dentsu, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for them, MediaTek paid about $350 million for patent licensing, and more than two years later, Intel only paid more than $100 million to acquire the entire company. Although it cannot be simply analogized, the company still has liabilities and other situations, but the depreciation of CDMA patent licensing is certain. And judging from the CDMA patent grant signed by MediaTek for about seven years, the expiration time of these patents should not exceed 2020.

After arranging the matter, Zhou Shi was finally relieved, Nokia Rubinstein still has use value, so many patents, it is not a big deal to buy a little from there, and it is not a big deal to get some patent authorization, right? Anyway, Nokia and Zhou Shi's IDCC have a lot of cooperation.

IDCC, a company that acquired some patents of Nortel Networks, has gone further and further on the road of patent trolls, with a market value of more than $5 billion, approaching a market value of $10 billion. Unfortunately, the potential is not enough, the profit is limited, and there should not be a lot of room for growth. However, its patent accumulation is enough to threaten HTC, if it is really ruthless, and finally uses IDCC to sue HTC, Wang Xuehong has nowhere to escape. How to do it depends on how they choose.

"By the way, Simon, why don't you go to Microlight and have a look, they will be going public soon," Hu Zuniu suggested

"I can't understand when I go, but I'm upset, I don't go......" Zhou Shi, the fact that Magnesium Light was controlled by the CEO made him very unhappy, but the time and place were not favorable, so he could only give up. Micron seems to have an IPO in May, with a very high debt ratio, and I don't know how much the final market value will be, at least $10 billion at present. If you brag about it, it should be able to reach 15 billion US dollars, which is not a small achievement. The worst is Anwarco, which was acquired with the Singapore concession, and its market value is still far from 10 billion US dollars.

"How's Anwargo?" Zhou Shi thought and asked

"Avago has recently acquired several companies, about 4~500 million US dollars, and is also preparing to acquire memory chip manufacturer LSI, but I refused!"

"Refusal, why refuse?" Zhou Shi immediately jumped up, this is not right, is it possible to let him break the crazy expansion path of Anwar Gao by himself?

"Anwarao and LSI have similar market capitalization, so it's dangerous to buy like this, and our interest in it will also be diluted...... "Hu Zuniu

"Regardless of the rights, our purpose is to make Avago the world's top semiconductor chip manufacturer, and at the same time help us get more revenue. Oh. By the way, if the Israeli company is not good, you can let Broadcom handle it, but it is likely that it can only be used once, you can decide for yourself!"

"Anwar has no potential!"

"The founder has potential, I think Avago CEO Chen Fuyang can do better, relying on acquisitions and expansion in the future is very beneficial to the development of Galaxy Capital!" Zhou Shi, Chen Fuyang will acquire Broadcom in the future, which will be just the opening dish. And every big acquisition requires a lot of money, for example, Silver Fox Capital in the expansion of Broadcom, not only through the story of profits, but also through various debt-to-equity swaps and other ways to provide acquisition support for Anhuagao, making a lot of money.

"But we're going to lose control of Anwargo!" said Hu Zuniu

"It's normal to have gains and losses, there are so many companies in the world, we can't have them all! We should give Anwar Gao's Chen Fuyang more freedom. "Zhou Shi

"Simon wants to use Anwar for Spreadtrum's blood transfusion?" Hu Zuniu said thoughtfully

"Let's just say that I want these two companies to see what kind of future they have through their own development and growth, and the other through acquisition and integration. However, due to the particularity of the semiconductor industry, our influence in it will inevitably decline. Zhou Shi didn't say more, it's a very simple fact, for example, the United States will definitely not let Huawei acquire Qualcomm.

"I see!"

"The current focus is on Spreadtrum obtaining CDMA patent licensing, which is at stake for the multi-billion dollar interests of several companies...... Zhou Shi

"Don't worry, this is all triple protection, and the chances of success are very high!" Hu Zuniu

"I hope so!" Zhou Shi, this time, for the sake of a patent authorization of hundreds of millions of dollars, mobilized most of his forces, which is related to enterprises in several countries. The obstacles of Huaxia identity to him can be seen. If Zhou Shi were an American and Spreadtrum was an American company, all these problems would no longer exist.

"Oh, by the way, I heard a small news that Meibang Securities invested in gold futures and suffered heavy losses!" Hu Zuniu, the price of gold has fallen from $1,800 in October last year to around $1,400 now, and the lowest is $1,300 per ounce when it fell sharply a few days ago. If this is long, hey~~ I don't know when to enter the market to go long, this wave of losses is really big enough.

"Are they still doing this kind of high-risk business?" Zhou Shi

"That's right, maybe they want to repeat the previous success!" Hu Zuniu

"......" Zhou Shi was stunned
