Chapter 495 Patents for Fruit Shells

The development of Guoke is very good, the only thing that bothers him is the patent, more than 6,000 Nortel networks plus more than 8,800 patents of InterDigital, and more than 5,000 to Guoke, which is barely enough. However, for the dispute over the operating system, even Google's Android is unavoidable, and it is more difficult for the Android system to open more Microsoft patents, and plans to negotiate patent fees with Microsoft together with Guoke. I don't know how much the specific patent fee will be, but according to Microsoft's consistent urine, it shouldn't be very low.

Time's Android system business strategy has been adjusted several times, and it is now free, but there are still paid items for commercial use, and the specific strategy is similar to that of Red Hat. However, it may be completely free in the future, make money through the app store, and the Android system does not support SD cards for the time being (Microsoft charges for this service, and the technology that supports the connection of Android phones and indos systems also needs to be paid). Therefore, Microsoft also cannot charge royalties for the Android system, but only for companies that use this system. Seeing the excellent performance of Android, Samsung once again raised the request for cooperation, which is being negotiated. To be honest, the Android system may not be able to make money, and not losing money is his greatest luck. Several mobile terminal giants have invested in Android not to make money, but to have a certain right to speak.

"What are the companies that are interested in investing in now?" Zhou Shi came to the Fruit Shell Company in the United States, and Feng Xing also came here to preside over the work with Rubinstein, I don't know if this is considered a seedling boost, but he doesn't have much to do. After a company is perfected, it will have its own assimilation and purification capabilities. Let the people who join this company in the future grow under his system. Fortunately, Guoke USA is mainly responsible for sales, and the R&D department is responsible for both Rubinstein and Feng Xing, although subjectively Rubinstein's power may be greater, but everything is still under control. But now, in order to raise funds and develop in the future, the control of the company has to change. Zhou Shi, as the largest capital representative of Guoke and a member of the board of directors, still has great rights.

"The main ones who want to invest are those large venture capital, private equity funds and investment banks" Feng Xing

"Is there a big Mo?" Zhou Shi was most concerned about this

"Yes! I think they're sincere. "Feng Xing

"That's good. "Zhou Shi

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, about the use of financing, why is there another project that occupies a large proportion of funds?" Feng Xing wondered

"Other? Others is a one-time patent purchase. "Zhou Shi

"What patent requires so much money?" Feng Xing

"The main target of the patents related to the operating system is IBM, but these are kept secret for the time being. Zhou Shi thought about it and said that Feng Xingke was one of the biggest bosses in the company, so it was a bit too much to hide from him.

"In order to deal with Microsoft's possible patents?" Feng Xing is a little thorough, the patent disputes that Guoke is facing so far are really not a little bit, if it weren't for Zhou Shi to start in advance, and sent a lot of money to win the patents of Nortel Networks and IDCC, I'm afraid Guoke would not have the current development.

The role of Nortel Networks and IDCC's patents is unimaginable, and whoever wins these two companies can basically be unimpeded in the mobile phone industry. Let's not talk about Guoke mobile phones, just talk about Spreadtrum Communications, which purchased $300 million in patents from IDCC, and acquired some patents from Datang Telecom, catching up with Qualcomm in the patent field of baseband chips. The reason why Intel in the previous life was able to provide Apple with baseband chips was also due to the 1,700 baseband patents they acquired from IDCC. Of course, Spreadtrum has not yet digested these technologies, and even this has laid the foundation for the future development of Spreadtrum Communications.

Zhou Shi's layout convinced Feng Xing and Rubinstein and others, and the licensing model of these patents also made Guoke mobile phones temporarily unable to get out of his control. Microsoft's patents are another matter, the company with the deepest research on operating systems in the world is Microsoft, and the company with the most patents is also Microsoft, and it is almost impossible to have an operating system and companies that can completely avoid Microsoft. Even if it is a Linux patent, although it can't receive money, Microsoft has also applied for a lot, in addition to Microsoft, only Apple and IBM have many operating system patents, and other DEC, Sun, etc. may have a fraction, Zhou Shi's choice is actually not much, his goal is only IBM.

"That's right, you guys have worked hard!" Zhou Shi

"I'm not afraid of hard work, but I'm afraid that there is no hope. Now that such a company has finally appeared in China, I will not hold back. "Feng Xing

Zhou Shi listened, and felt that Feng Xing at this time was particularly sincere, maybe he really thought so at this time, he also relaxed a little, but people's hearts are fickle, one moment is still a sage, maybe the next moment will be transformed into a demon, Buddhism still has the principle of becoming a demon and becoming a Buddha with a thought, there should be no less supervision, and there should be no less warning, Zhou Shi doesn't want to wait for them to make a mistake before punishing, the best way is not to give them a chance to make a mistake.

Feng Xing is only a middle and high-level company in Lenovo, and when he came to Zhou Shi's side, he became a large company comparable to Lenovo, although last year's revenue was less than one-third of Lenovo, but the profit margin far exceeded Lenovo. The outside world is arguing endlessly about whether Feng Xing has achieved the fruit shell or the fruit shell has made Feng Xing, and there is also speculation about the relationship between Zhou Shi and Feng Xing, no matter what, everyone thinks that Feng Xing's achievements are no less than Yang Yuanqing. As for what Feng Xing thought, Zhou Shi didn't know very well.

"Our financing should not be rushed, delay and delay, and time is more favorable to us. Zhou Shi didn't say anything, capital is not the most important thing in the development of Guohu, but the most important thing is the connection.

Feng Xing was thinking about IBM, since he wanted to acquire IBM's patents, the best way for them to join in and form a community of interests.

"That's right, but some people haven't shown their sincerity yet. Zhou Shi didn't think so, he would not let it go until he reached a basic agreement with Da Mo and Citi on the acquisition of Meibang. A large securities company for the future development of Zhou Shi actually does not see any use, but the merger of the three companies will form the world's largest and most professional securities company (not an investment bank, mainly stock brokers, market makers, foreign exchange intermediaries, etc.), which contains a meaning that is still very useful to the current Zhou Shi. This is one of the best ways to increase his base, knowing that being the first in the world in an industry is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

"Should we contact that side directly, it's not a way to wait like this" Feng Xing

"Look for them directly?" Zhou Shi thought about it, it didn't seem to have much to lose, there was no need to be so arrogant, he must let the other party take the initiative, this is called the enemy is not me, I am the enemy!
