Next chapter

Jobs didn't feel anything about the demo, he was playing the leftovers, he had been lazily looking around with his legs crossed, but as soon as he heard that he was about to announce the auction mode, Jobs immediately regained his vigilance, staring at the big screen without blinking, for fear of missing a word.

"We have developed a total of two auction models before, the first is to auction according to the quantity!" Lei Busi was slightly nervous, but then again, any person in the mixed business circle who saw so many giants also had the same reaction as him," We auction a group of 1 million patents, and the company with the highest bid will get a license for 1 million copies of the product, in other words, the company can legally produce 1 million tablets, and then the next group of 1 million copies will be auctioned until no one is bidding! What do you think of this plan?"

"In this way, the number of products cannot be controlled, we don't know whether this kind of product can be accepted by the market, and it is a very unwise choice to rashly auction a large quota!" Jobs immediately objected, setting the share at 1 million copies is undoubtedly lowering the threshold for participating in the auction, so that any company present can participate, which is very disadvantageous to Apple, even if they can bid for 100 million shares, they will still encounter competition from companies that only auction millions of shares when they first go public.

"Excessive competition is very detrimental to the establishment of market order!" Gates also disagrees with this plan, as the maker of industry rules, he does not like this kind of competition, excessive product launch will inevitably reduce profit margins.

Some other relatively small companies seem to be interested in this plan, according to this plan, even if they can't eat the biggest piece of the cake, they will never go home empty-handed, no matter which company in the scene eats tens of millions of shares, as long as the speed of the market is fast enough, there will always catch up with the first wave of the market.

After a heated debate, several large companies formed a united front. There was a resolute resistance to this plan.

"Okay then, let's see the next option!" Qiē seemed to be expected by him, and Lebusi revealed a second plan, "The second plan is to divide the world into several regions for the auction of patent licensing." The company with the highest bid will receive an exclusive license in the region! Let's take the United States as an example, if a company obtains a patent license from the United States, then it can gain access to the huge market of the entire United States! Other companies are not allowed to enter the United States market!"

The second option is obviously more in the interests of large companies, and only they have the financial resources to participate in the competition in several large consumer markets such as the United States, Europe, and East Asia, as well as the African market. Even if you give up, there is not much to lose. Jobs and others were smiling, while representatives of several smaller companies frowned.

Of course, this plan seems to violate the anti-monopoly law of the United States, but these are not issues that Lei Busi needs to care about, and I believe that the company that won the share is fully capable of solving it.

Glancing at the representatives of the small companies with sad faces, Lebus added, "Regarding the second option, we accept joint bidding from various companies. "These small companies can't be spared, although they will certainly not be the opponents of Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and other big companies, but they are not without the power to fight.

"I announce an hour's rest now. You can go free or go to the lounge we have prepared for you next door to rest, and in an hour the auction will officially begin, and the first one we will launch will be the license of the French market!"

As soon as the words fell, representatives of Nokia rushed to the seats of Alcatel, and Weihua and Xingzhong also sat together, and Jobs's eyes began to wander between Bezos and Gates

On the doors of the lounges on both sides of the auction venue, Lei Busi also thoughtfully labeled the names of the companies they stayed in, and saw that those bigwigs who were hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute kept going in and out of various rooms during this hour's rest. It's even busier than the popular cards of some ISO clubs.

The timing given by Lebusi is also just right, which allows them to join forces to give a better price, but does not leave them enough opportunities to balance their interests and reach a price alliance, which is under control.

An hour later. The auction staff knocked on their doors one by one and invited them back to the auction site, and the auction officially entered the auction process.

"As we all know, France has always been at the forefront of fashion, the consumer demand here is very strong, and consumers are particularly keen on all kinds of new electronic products," Lei Busi first boasted about the prospects of the French market. Then the reserve price for the auction was announced, "The starting price for the exclusive patent license in the French market is 50 million US dollars, with a minimum increase of 1 million US dollars each time, and now the auction begins!"

According to the calculations of the Lebusi team, the price of the first batch of tablets after the launch is estimated to be around 500 euros, even if only four percent of the royalties are charged for each unit, it is not a problem to sell 5 million units in such a large market as France, so there is still a lot of room for this starting price to rise.

"Five million and one million dollars!" said Alcatel's boss was the first to hold up the sign in his hand.

"Five two million dollars!" is not to be outdone by the boss of the start-up Archos.

"55 million dollars!" Jobs went on the offensive at the beginning, and he was also unwilling to give up on such a large market as France, and then Amazon, Microsoft, Google and other companies also joined the fierce competition.

After half an hour of fierce competition, the patent license in the French market was finally won by the deep-pocketed Apple, but there was no trace of joy on Jobs's face, because he knew that more fierce competition was yet to come.

Then the patents of developed European countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy were auctioned off accordingly, and major companies won their own gains, such as Germany to Amazon, and the Nordic three countries to Nokia.

After going through several small markets, Lebusi finally took out the largest piece of cake, "The next auction is the patent authorization of the United States, the starting price is 100 million US dollars, and the minimum price increase is 2 million US dollars each time, and now the auction begins!"
