Chapter 85 Complexity of Patents
Doing business is never easy, and there are always some unexpected things that happen.
JVC originally only wanted to sell the dilapidated production line, but he didn't expect the other party to take a fancy to his headphone technology, which made him a little hesitant, and the negotiators who couldn't make up their minds quickly stopped the negotiation and wanted to go back to the head office to report.
Su Jingzhen didn't have time to stay in Japan and wait for news, and if he didn't go back, NYU would expel him, and he could only take a transoceanic plane again and fly back to the United States.
"Hi Sue...... Welcome back. ”
At the airport, Su Jingzhen found Joanna's figure, and before she had time to say hello, Joanna had already taken the lead in raising her hand to greet him.
"Hi Joanna, long time no see, and, Happy Chinese New Year." Su Jingzhen was a little confused, and raised his hand indifferently, from the mainland to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong to Japan, and then from Japan to the United States in a few days.
"Come on, let's go home first, rest for a day, you have to go back to school tomorrow, Michelle calls every day these days and asks me when you will come back, it seems that the school is a little urgent, in addition, your clothes are good, worth 90 points." Joanna walked out of JFK International Airport with Su Jingzhen, and said to Su Jingzhen as she walked, and praised Su Jingzhen's suit by the way.
"You think it's good-looking, too? This is how my mom designed it, and the garment factory at home makes it. Although Su Jingzhen was in a trance, after all, Joanna was already an acquaintance, and they were very familiar with each other directly, which made his strangeness to New York disappear a little.
"Yo...... So you've become a model in your family's clothing factory? Wear it on a long-haul flight? Joanna whispered in surprise, teasing the big boy by the way.
"No, I just participated in a negotiation when I was in Japan, and I rushed to board the plane immediately after the negotiation, and I didn't have time to change my clothes, and besides, I think I'm going to find a dry cleaner, and the collar of this shirt is dirty, and if I don't wash it, I'll laugh to death if I wear it out."
"Leave it to me, let me wait for you, a fortune boy, and continue to take me with you next time you have a chance to make money, and I will be your full-time lawyer." In the last Mexican financial crisis, Joanna gave it a go, put her entire wealth into it, deposited 22,000 for herself, and then took 30,000 from the bank and friends, for a total of 52,000 dollars.
In the final settlement, Joanna got a total of more than one million pre-tax income, from a small miscellaneous lawyer, to a quasi-millionaire in an instant, even Michelle did not earn as much as her, this is the benefit of being with the right person and accurate vision.
"How did the incident that I called back to you before the New Year to check on?" Speaking of opportunities to make money, Su immediately remembered that SanDisk was on a roadshow, and asked Joanna how the previous investigation went.
"You put your luggage in the back box first, and I'll talk about it briefly." Joanna led Su Jingzhen to the side of the car, and after opening the rear compartment, she helped carry the luggage.
"In fact, SanDisk has not officially launched a roadshow now, but has only participated in the promotion meetings held by some banks, and I guess that the time for its listing may be in the second half of the year, and it is the second half of the year, because his results in the promotion meeting are very average, and he has not been sought after by too many banks." Joanna helped Su Jingzhen put her luggage in the car, and briefly talked about the current situation.
Su Jingzhen frowned when he heard this, thinking that this is impossible, SanDisk is the big brother of the memory card industry, in the era when the computer industry is thriving, how can no one be sought after?
"You come and I'll tell you about it." Seeing that the luggage was all placed, Joanna threw the key to Su Jingzhen and walked to the passenger seat.
"Oh, aren't you afraid I'm a newbie?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll get a new one if it's broken."
"I'm afraid of hitting someone!"
Joanna stared at Su Jingzhen and said word by word: "Then drive slowly!! ”
Su Jingzhen flattened his mouth and got into the driver's seat with a little uncomfortable look, this is not a joke, he is really afraid, driving in the United States and driving in China are two different things, driving fast and speeding, and driving slow is also guilty.
Closing the car door, Joanna didn't care about Su Jingzhen's pretending on the side, and said to him directly: "I have checked the reason why SanDisk is not sought after, to put it bluntly, this company involves a lot of patents, and they are all mutually licensed and cross-licensed with other companies, so that there are many benefits to get, it can produce most of the storage products on the market now, and the disadvantage is that there are too many unstable factors."
And there is no unified format for storage products on the market today, each playing its own game, and there are too many messy formats, which also makes investors feel confused, who knows that SanDisk will be able to produce products that will be successful? Maybe you have the authority to produce something else at any time.
But the crux of the matter is here, SanDisk does not have a product that can really win the world, he now holds the manufacturing and sales rights of MMC cards in his hands, but part of the patent of this thing belongs to Intel, and it is the most basic patent, which cannot be bypassed, so in a sense, it will be affected by Intel. ”
Joanna's speech was very fast, and before Su Jingzhen's car drove out of the airport, she had already crackled a lot.
"It doesn't have its own patents?" Su Jingzhen was a little puzzled, this didn't seem to be right.
Joanna glanced at Su Jingzhen and said in an obviously disdainful tone, "Do you know when the concept of flash memory appeared? Its patents have long been registered, and when each company develops its own flash memory products, it has registered patents, and for more than ten years, it is full of dense patent traps, and there is no way to check it when I check the information, there are too many. ”
"Uh, what then?" Su Jingzhen didn't expect that the company he wanted to invest in was the same as the last time he designed the keyboard, all because of patent problems.
"You are an investment company, and you don't want to invent any new products, you don't care how complex the patent rights in it are, it doesn't matter to you, you just need to see it, and then invest money to buy stocks." Joanna realized that she was talking a little off-topic and hurried back.
"But didn't you just say that the promotion meeting was unsuccessful because of the patent issue?" Su Jingzhen is strange, what you said about this, and now you blame me?
"But SanDisk also has a patent in his own hand, oops, how can I tell you, a person who doesn't have any knowledge or cognition of patents, it's so annoying......" Joanna was annoyed by Su Jingzhen, she couldn't understand how to say it, it was too irritating.
"No, I understand what you're saying, but I don't quite understand why you're inconsistent." Su Jingzhen was engrossed in driving the car, and he might be a little slow to think about problems.
Joanna tried her best to explain what she said above, but it didn't seem to work, so she had to emphasize again: "There are no contradictions, no, there are contradictions, but these contradictions do not affect us to invest, do you understand?" ”
"I don't understand." Su Jingzhen said faintly.
Joanna......
