Chapter 228: A New Way Out (3, 4/4)

PS: 2-in-1 plus more.

――――――

"All related software such as Mortal Language can be launched on the Apple Store, and as for the revenue share, Apple can make a compromise, as long as it is one percent!" After discussing the rest, Cook returned to the issue of Mortal Language.

Wang Fan shook his head: "Don't be too greedy, the exclusive cooperation of the wisdom language has already given you enough benefits, and this benefit mortal technology will not compromise." ”

"It's impossible for the Apple platform not to make a penny! This is not in line with Apple's rules, you must know that even Microsoft's software, when it is launched on the Apple platform, has to share 30% of Apple's revenue. Cook insisted!

"There's no way, since we can't talk about it, the software of Mortal Technology can not be used on the Apple platform for the time being. Wang Fan said.

Cook: "......"

Cook is very helpless, the nominal purpose of this trip is the negotiation of the launch of software such as Fanyu on the Apple platform, if the negotiation cannot be reached, how to explain to Apple users?

……

In the end, the two sides made a compromise.

All the software of Mortal Technology was launched on the Apple App Store, and the reserve price was given.

Apple does not want a share of the reserve price, but has the right to increase the reserve price by up to 10% as a platform channel fee!

This pricing strategy guarantees the interests of mortal technology as well as the interests of Apple.

However, the highest 10% of the cost was passed on to Apple users.

However, these are not what Wang Fan should care about, as long as his interests are not affected.

After the discussion, the two finalized the outcome, and the rest of the content was negotiated by the lawyers of both sides in more detail.

There are no problems with software such as Fanyu, mainly because some time was wasted on the smart language project, after all, this project has a lot at stake.

And Wang Fan chatted with Cook: "Mr. Cook." Brother Gu and Facebook are also working together to create a smart language project. If Apple joins them. To develop together, it may be less expensive, and it is possible to get the core technology. ”

"This project is very difficult, although I don't know how you can do it, but Apple doesn't think that Brother Gu and they can succeed. Cook shook his head, then looked at Wang Fan, as if he wanted more information.

Wang Fan was noncommittal and changed the topic: "What does Mr. Cook think about the current mobile phone market?"

Cook sighed. The expression was a little solemn: "There is a red sea, without enough innovation, it is difficult for large enterprises to make progress again, and small enterprises cannot even survive at all." The homogenization is too serious, especially in the Android camp. Perhaps the possibility of mobile phone collision next year is very high, and there should be three main appearance trends. ”

"Those three?" Wang Fan became interested, and the big guy's judgment was naturally extraordinary.

"One like Samsung, the hyperboloid screen with a long home button, leading the high-end group. One like Meizu. Ultra-narrow bezel, plus waist round home button. Mback's interaction. There is also an ordinary Android three-button, plus a back fingerprint. ”

Wang Fan couldn't help but sigh, maybe it really was.

Samsung's hyperboloid screen will be the second generation next year, so the first generation hyperboloid will naturally be sold for profit, which is in line with Samsung's consistent style.

However, even if it is the previous generation of hyperboloid screen, it will still become the object of competition for many manufacturers.

With the development of fingerprint recognition, underwear wearing backwards and underwear wearing is no longer a problem, and front fingerprint recognition has completely defeated back fingerprint recognition.

However, the fingerprint recognition on the front coupled with the virtual buttons on both sides makes it more and more ugly, far less than the interaction of Meizu Mback.

A home button, touch to return to the previous level, press to return to the desktop, and integrate fingerprint recognition, fingerprint payment, etc.

Of course, such a perfect interaction will inevitably become the object of reference for other mobile phone manufacturers.

As for the appearance of the Home button, the round one is Apple's, the long one is Samsung's, and the waist round is Meizu's.

The three have always adopted the concept of one button, so the layout on the home button is also early.

And other Android three-button mobile phones, in the era of fingerprint recognition, can only be in a hurry, can't always come to a triangle or diamond, right?

Then you can only copy one, or infringe one, after all, there is patent protection.

Of course, this problem is also what Wang Fan will face when making mobile phones, but he will not compromise for this, and he will inevitably find a new way.

"You look at Meizu like this, I remember that Apple and Meizu had a grudge back then. Wang Fan laughed and teased.

Cook smiled slightly, and did not shy away: "In that era, even any touchscreen mobile phone would be sued by Apple. ”

Wang Fan couldn't help but sigh that Meizu was unlucky, and the gun shot the first bird.

Although now it seems that the 2009 Meizu M8 and the iPhone are not very similar at all, but they are both rectangular and have no keyboard.

But as the only touchscreen mobile phone, Meizu M8 closely follows the pace of Apple's first generation, plus it is excellent in other aspects, and the price is much lower than Apple, which poses a certain threat to Apple, so it was sued by Jobs.

But now it seems that being sued by Apple can be regarded as an honor and a kind of proof.

It's just that Meizu's later development was too conservative and missed a good opportunity, and it was not until last year that it began to reform and expand drastically......

……

Soon, the contract was drawn up, and the relationship between Mortal Technology and Apple began to break the ice, and even became close partners.

Wang Fan was ready to invite Cook, but Cook wanted to prepare for the new product launch conference a few days later, and he was short of time and declined.

Before leaving, Cook also left Wang Fan a VIP invitation to Apple's press conference, exchanged personal contact information, and invited Wang Fan to go to the United States in a few days.

In this regard, Wang Fan readily agreed.

The world is so big, you have to see it.

As for the relevant documents for exiting, if you do it now, it is indeed very problematic.

But Su Xueyan had already prepared for him, and with the help of virtuous people, he was so capricious.

In this cooperation, both sides have their own gains.

The software of mortal technology such as Fanyu can be launched on the Apple store, and both parties will get a more reasonable share.

Apple has been granted the license to the language of mortal technology, although it will not be released until March next year, but it is exclusive.

Of course. Mortal Tech will also start in March next year. Get a hefty licensing fee. After all, apples are staggeringly large!

And the CDMA chip treaty is a big hole dug by Wang Fan for Qualcomm!

As long as the performance of Mortal Technology's CDMA chip surpasses Apple's, then Apple will use Mortal Technology's chips, and Qualcomm can only cry on the side.

Once it loses Apple, a big customer, half of Qualcomm's country will basically be wasted! On the contrary, mortal semiconductors will rise strongly!

In addition, it has also obtained a 2-year royalty-free license from Apple, and the main thing is from now on!

This is of great significance to Wang Fan. It means that there is a big wall missing the patent barrier of mortal technology.

Of course, this time Wang Fan missed it, and Apple didn't take this authorization seriously.

They simply can't imagine the speed and rise of mortal mobile phones, so they don't value this treaty.

It is difficult to think that mortal technology is only making mobile phones, and according to common sense, it is impossible to get out of China in 2 years!

Therefore, in Apple's view, this so-called two-year patent grant has and does not have the same.

Anyway, Huaxia manufacturers generally don't pay royalties, and Apple can't get money anyway!

But Cook couldn't have imagined that this deal now seemed to be a sure deal. It soon became the most failed deal of Cook's life!

On the contrary, Wang Fan was in a happy mood.

He found a new way out. A way out to break through patent barriers!

With Mortal Technology's own patent layout, Mortal Technology can deal with some general enterprises, and everyone has not many patent reserves, so they can only authorize each other.

Through the authorization of software such as Camera Master, it has obtained 2-year patent authorization from Sony, LG and other companies.

As for Qualcomm, which can't get around, it has also obtained a two-year patent-free license by agreeing to a non-proliferation agreement with CDMA technology.

But big patent owners like Nokia, Apple, Samsung, etc., have never been able to do it.

But now, Apple's solution is a new way out.

What mortal technology lacks is patents, and more is black technology.

As long as you copy the cooperation model with Apple this time, it is basically not a problem to use a key black technology authorization in exchange for the free authorization of the other party's patent.

After all, the mobile phone business of Mortal Technology has just started, and normally speaking, it can't make any waves in 2 years, not to mention that Huaxia enterprises don't pay patent fees!

Therefore, the vast majority of giants will be like Apple, agreeing to Wang Fan's request, and the profits in hand are fundamental!

As for the few other large patent holders, they really can't, and they can only pay part of the patent fees, but that's the decimal number.

As for two years later, it is not certain who will pay whom the royalties at that time!

In short, according to this path, the internationalization of mortal mobile phones will have a promising future!

Once the international market is opened, with the promotion of the mortal language platform and the advanced technology of mortal mobile phones, it will soon become popular all over the world!

……

America.

Su Xueyan didn't listen to Wang Fan's instructions and came back directly, and still insisted on meeting the senior management of EA and issued a cooperation negotiation.

While EA's reps are better than Gameloft's, at least they don't have those disgusting moves.

But for the benefits, no one will give up.

Coupled with the failure of the cooperation between Mortal Technology and Gameloft, EA will naturally take the opportunity to raise the price and make more demands!

It is also an independent operation, and it is also 3/7 divided, 30% of mortal technology, and 70% of EA.

You can also join the wisdom language and account of Fanyu, as well as the Fanyuan consumption system.

But refuse to localize in China!

For such an ending, Su Xueyan understood that the negotiation had failed again.

Wang Fan would not agree to such harsh conditions at all, and EA would not compromise.

Back at the hotel, Su Xueyan's interest was a little low.

Working with giant companies is troublesome, there are too many constraints, and the price will be quite high.

As the saying goes, there is no equality of power, and it is simply impossible to negotiate on an equal footing.

In a low mood, Su Xueyan couldn't help but dial the familiar number.

"Snow Goose, when are you going to come back?" was Wang Fan's familiar voice on the other side of the phone.

"I'm going to have a few more days and went to EA today. Su Xueyan said truthfully.

Wang Fan was stunned: "They didn't embarrass you, did they?"

"Nope. Su Xueyan shook her head: "It's just that the result is not optimistic......

"It's okay, don't worry about cooperation, I have other ways, when the time comes, they will take the initiative to come to the door." You relax in the United States first, and I'll accompany you in a few days!"

"Really, you won't deliberately make me happy, right?" Su Xueyan didn't believe it, but even a beautiful lie made her feel a lot better.

"You'll know when the time comes!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in San Francisco. But if you don't come, don't even think about going to my mother's bed in the future!"

……

The next day, Su Xueyan and Xiaohe left the hotel and went to San Francisco, continuing the interrupted digging plan, waiting for Wang Fan to come by the way.

Twitter's decline has become unstoppable, and core talent is looking for new owners.

Su Xueyan will not miss this kind of opportunity. After all, there is a shortage of talents for service and content.

However, just as they were leaving, they met Sean, the representative of the tiresome Gameloft.

It turned out that he had been paying attention to the movements of Su Xueyan and the others, and seeing them go to EA, Sean was a little nervous, after all, the two were hostile forces.

If Mortal Tech and EA reach a partnership, it will be very bad for them!

Luckily, EA's conditions were similar to Gameloft's, and in the end, the cooperation between the two sides failed.

As a result, Sean once again came on behalf of Gameloft to try to force Mortal Tech to agree to cooperate.

However, Su Xueyan decisively refused, and left directly in the car with the secretary, without any intention of talking about it at all.

Sean has completely understood that the other party has really given up on Gameloft's cooperation, although I don't know why, but it is the case.

Soon, Sean reported to the headquarters that Mortal Technology had completely given up on cooperation, whether it was Gameloft or EA!

The high-level management of the headquarters was a little unhappy about this, but they didn't care too much about it, and directly asked Sean to come back, and closed the Shudi studio in Huaxia and dismissed all the employees!

Since there is no possibility of cooperation with mortal technology, the Huaxia market can basically give up.

Shudi Studio was originally intended to be a platform for cooperation with mortal technology, but now it has naturally lost its meaning.

Soon, the news wore out like the wind, and the studio of Gameloft was disbanded!

The major game companies that are waiting for opportunities in Shu have taken action and began to compete for the talents of Shu studios unscrupulously.

Ding Quan, according to Wang Fan's orders, had been preparing in Shudi, waiting for information, and observing the actions of Wang Junkai's team.

However, during this time, Wang Junkai only symbolically met with representatives of several game companies, had a meal together, sat down to talk, but did not let go of joining any game company.

On the contrary, the three important core members, Yin Wei, Xia Dong, and Xu Pengcheng, acted secretly.

Unintentional people only thought that the three of them were also looking for a new owner, but after Ding Quan's investigation, the three of them were not looking for a game company.

It's a couple of operators and two VCs!

These two venture capital firms are small in scale, but they are growing rapidly, and their investment areas are mainly concentrated in the fields of video games and Internet software!

(To be continued.) )

PS: The four more are completed, and I still owe the Xiaokai League Master 2 more more.
