Mobile phones are the crystallization of human science and technology, and they are also the most patent-intensive field in the world. From the shape of a mobile phone case to the placement of a chip, it is possible to find relevant patents.

Therefore, mobile phone manufacturers, if they are not careful, may be sued by the patent owner, and then have to pay a large amount of licensing fees.

In the 3G era, Qualcomm is a hurdle that all mobile phone manufacturers can never bypass.

As a result, many mobile phone manufacturers had to join forces to "de-Qualcomm" and study CDMA technology, 4G, and even 5G technology. The rapid development of communication technology is actually due to the ambition of mobile phone manufacturers to get rid of Qualcomm as soon as possible.

However, even in the 4G era, Qualcomm's patents still can't get around. In particular, the CPU chip produced by Qualcomm is still one of the top mobile phone CPU chips in the world, and there are still dozens of months away from other mobile phone chips.

However, it is very helpless that the gap is so big that it is even more difficult to catch up.

Mu Bai had considered this issue before, such as acquiring a collection chip manufacturer, and then upgrading the technology and process through the technology in the super library.

However, after some detailed understanding, Mu Bai was speechless and found that the collection chip manufacturers that are still surviving are not small factories, especially those that can master some underlying patents and special patents, all of which are well-known enterprises, and there are intricate equity relationships behind them.

In this way, Mu Bai also gave up the attempt to acquire a new chip manufacturer, and turned to deduce and study its own patents. This task Mu Bai handed over to the housekeeper of the scientific research laboratory, the senior artificial intelligence Xiaobai.

But unfortunately, after nearly two months of deduction, Xiaobai did not come up with any results. If you want to master your own core patents, there is no time to go.

That is to say, for now, Mu Bai's first-generation Zenith mobile phone finally has to choose to cooperate with Qualcomm to buy the other party's CPU chip and obtain the other party's patent authorization.

Thinking that every time a mobile phone is sold, it will be sucked by Qualcomm for a few points, Mu Bai has a heartache!

In particular, the first generation of Zenith mobile phones that Mubai will put into production will integrate many black technologies such as perfect display screens, graphene-based lithium batteries, primary artificial intelligence programs, naked-eye 3D stereoscopic projection, etc., the price is not generally high, and the corresponding profits that are sucked away are even higher.

Even, Mu Bai can't choose Huawei company's Kirin chips, Hisilicon chips or MediaTek chips over there, because the production of high-end Kirin chips is seriously insufficient, and Huawei itself can't meet it, let alone provide it to Mu Bai's Zenith company.

The low-end HiSilicon chip and MediaTek chip are a bit embarrassing, and it's okay to deal with low-end mobile phones, but it's too much to deal with mid-to-high-end mobile phones.

"Hmph, since you have been sucked by Lao Mei's company, let's make up for it from their people!" Mu Bai has decided that the price of mobile phones sold to Lao Mei will be increased by ten points, and if the sales volume of Lao Mei is large, he can just make up for the money paid to Qualcomm.

"Next, we should focus on the field of chip semiconductors!" It is helpless for the first generation of Zenith mobile phones to be sucked by Qualcomm, but from the second generation, Mu Bai will not let Qualcomm continue to suck blood.

It can be said that how to reduce being sucked by Qualcomm is a very critical issue in the mobile phone industry.

It is as strong as a powerful one, such as Apple, that is, on the one hand, it is a lawsuit with Qualcomm, and on the other hand, it takes the opportunity to prohibit its foundry from paying licensing fees.

In the past few years, Apple's profits have long been astronomical, even if the lawsuit is lost, it will only pay hundreds of millions.

However, this is something that only a strong and high-status company can afford. Because Qualcomm and Apple are in a relationship of both confrontation and cooperation, the lawsuit is still a cooperative relationship.

As for other companies, if you play this game with Qualcomm, you may be able to understand the lawsuit in less than three months, not to mention a lot of compensation, and Qualcomm chips will not be sold to you at that time, it will be really embarrassing......

It is also these concerns that Huaxia really does not dare to completely tear up the face of Qualcomm mobile phone manufacturers. Well, maybe the Zenith will be the first in the future!

It is precisely in order to avoid being charged more licensing fees, Qualcomm taxes or something, the original first-generation Zenith mobile phone, in addition to the mobile phone, also equipped with a virtual world link device - wireless virtual earbuds, was directly removed by Mu Bai and sold as a separate accessory.

In the afternoon, Mu Bai found Qu Xiaohong and prepared to ask her to go to Qualcomm to discuss cooperation on her behalf.

Qu Xiaohong was originally the vice president of LETV mobile phone,After LETV mobile phone was merged into the Zenith Star Company,Became the temporary person in charge of Zenith mobile phone,Later, in the past few months,Mu Bai found that this Qu Xiaohong did a good job,After clearing the original backlog of LETV mobile phones,Qu Xiaohong was turned positive。

"Mr. Qu, you should prepare in the next few days, learn more about these materials, and then go to Qualcomm headquarters to talk about authorization!"

Qu Xiaohong was suddenly called to the office by Mu Bai, thinking that something was going on, but after she came, she found out that she was asked to go to Qualcomm in the United States to negotiate, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After coming to the headquarters of Hangzhou Zenith Company, Qu Xiaohong has not relaxed for a day, and she has always been very clear that her position in the Zenith Company is not stable.

After all, the mobile phone is too important, and the funds involved are also huge, and it is not so easy for her to get the support of the company's big boss as an outsider who joined halfway.

Fortunately, after several months of hard work, Qu Xiaohong finally removed the word "temporary" on the top of her head, and she can be regarded as the person in charge of the promising company of Zenith Star Mobile Phone.

At this moment, in the face of the company's big boss asking her to go to the Qualcomm headquarters in the United States to negotiate, in her opinion, it is a test, but also a real opportunity.

Therefore, Qu Xiaohong said very seriously: "Okay, Mr. Mu, I will go all out!" ”

"By the way, Mr. Mu, what are the main aspects I want to talk about over there?" At the end, Qu Xiaohong asked.

"The main reason you went this time was to talk to the other party about the price of mobile phone CPUs, as well as patent licensing issues, especially the amount of patent authorization, if you can negotiate a percentage point, it will be a great achievement!" Mu Bai said seriously.

In fact, Mu Bai does not have much hope for this time, because the current Zenith mobile phone has not been taken seriously by Qualcomm.

Even though, Mu Bai asked Qu Xiaohong to bring some performance reports on the perfect display screen and graphene-based lithium batteries (just a report on how awesome the product is......
