Chapter 437: The Future (Four Changes)

For the current situation of Nortel network, there are only two ways, first, let the Canadian government provide support funds, but in the context of such a financial crisis, with the deterioration of Nortel's financial situation, this road has become impassable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Another one, naturally, is dismantling and selling.

If it is not sold, in another half a year, the financial turmoil will be completely swept away, and what awaits the Northern Power Grid Company is bankruptcy.

From this point of view, Hu Yifei can be regarded as very accurate.

But Nortel Network is not without valuable assets, on the contrary, many of the company's assets that are coveted by the outside world, or some assets that have not been paid attention to by the outside world, are very valuable, but the problem is that they have no cash. For a company of this size, running out of cash is a pretty scary thing.

Hu Yifei's current situation is just the opposite.

The whole world knows that he has nearly 10 billion dollars of cash in his account alone, and he can cash out billions of dollars in cash in the financial markets at any time. Cash, in the current global economic downturn, a person with such a large amount of cash resources in his hands will be respected.

These backgrounds are enough for him to easily complete the acquisition battle he wants.

In Hu Yifei's opinion, this acquisition is a sure thing, so he did not participate in it personally.

He left Shirley Sandberg in charge and took control of the situation from behind the scenes.

Because this is related to the future development of Riot Technology, if it succeeds, Riot Technology will take off, and if it fails, Riot Technology will continue to be controlled by others for the next few years.

When Hu Yifei was filming, he played with this iPhone1 generation mobile phone, and it felt that it was too different from the original iPhone8S, but it was a touchscreen smartphone after all. Finally, please get rid of the trouble of pressing the button phone.,You can play with your phone when you're bored.,Be a low-headed person.。

He was happy, but he also realized that more and more places in this world, the world with deep memories of the original plane, began to overlap.

Hu Yifei couldn't help but speed up his pace.

He knows that when the development of smart phones reaches a bottleneck in the future, all kinds of patents will be torn apart, which can be compared to the most gorgeous capital show. This is also the key to the inability of China's domestic smartphones to go abroad. Why were Huawei and ZTE mobile phones banned in the United States in later generations? Excluding political factors, the name they use is patent infringement.

In fact, Mick Zafilovsky has already made his idea public at the company's board of directors that he wants to sell the wireless business, because it is a money-losing product, but it invests a lot of money in research and development every year, and at the same time, it does not rule out the sale of the optical network and Ethernet business, which has an annual revenue of $2 billion, and he is the most valuable business of Nortel Networks.

Zafilovski wants to concentrate on the enterprise network and carrier services division, and several of the top companies in the optical network business, such as Nokia Siemens, Ericsson, Huawei and ZTE, are interested in this part of Nortel Networks.

Fist Technology is eyeing nearly 9,000 patents held by Nortel Networks.

As a rookie in the industry, no one underestimates Riot Technology. Even if they are poor in patents, even if their new mobile phones are still in the process of research and development, and have applied for a lot of patents, not to mention that they are compared with giants like Nokia and Motorola, and even compared with rivals like Apple and Microsoft, Riot Technology is not much behind.

But they are rich because their boss is Hu Yifei.

Cash, it doesn't get much more tempting than that.

The more than 8,000 patents in the hands of Nortel Network are a big cake in Hu Yifei's eyes, and the most terrible thing is that this big cake is not even familiar to people now, and even his owner, Nortel Network itself does not realize his value and how much role he can play in the future.

This is also related to the R&D principles that Nortel Networks has always believed in, for example, Nortel Networks developed a concept mobile phone with many functions of smart phones as early as 1990, which shows the company's R&D and innovation capabilities, and even they applied for a lot of patents for this, but in the end they failed to make a mobile phone. And the company has always believed in a defensive principle when it comes to patents, that is, it does not take the initiative to file lawsuits through patents.

For example, they have an agreement with Nokia Siemens to use each other's patents, which means that they are only applying for patents so that they will not be sued, or to share each other's patents with each other, rather than using them against their opponents.

Now Microsoft, Apple, and even Google will not do anything to their peers, but as long as Riot wants to enter the smartphone market, there will inevitably be a handle in their hands, because high-tech things, especially smartphones, really want to fight a patent war, which is a very easy thing, because there are so many parts and software programs in a mobile phone, there will always be problems.

When the other party realizes this and launches a patent war, Riot Technology has no patents in its hands, so it can only be slaughtered.

No matter how much you sell, the more you will lose in the future.

Nortel Networks is a very interesting company, they very much encourage engineers and technicians to apply for patents, so they have accumulated more than 8,000 patents covering a wide range of fields such as 3G, 4G, WiFi, voice, optics, Ethernet, Internet, semiconductors, etc., without realizing the value of these patents.

So much so that later, Nortel Network went bankrupt, and Google announced that it would acquire the patents in their hands for $900 million, but soon, Microsoft, Apple and other companies also formed an alliance to snipe, and finally the two sides kept raising prices, and Google even increased from 900 million to 4.4 billion, but in the end, the alliance between Microsoft and Apple completed the bid with $4.5 billion.

Hu Yifei knew about this because before he crossed over, Apple and Microsoft were fighting patent wars everywhere, and even if Google had acquired Motorola at a high price, it was still passively beaten everywhere, and then Apple and Microsoft targeted Samsung, HTC and other mobile phone manufacturers, hoping to use patent wars to defeat competitors in one fell swoop.

It can be seen how amazing the value of this batch of patents is.

In fact, Hu Yifei is also quite apprehensive now, because the acquisition of the huge patent of the Northern Power Grid Company, and their radio research and development department should cost a lot of money, according to the information given by Shirley Sandberg, it seems that this is not the case, and they don't seem to realize the value of the patent until now.

In fact, Nortel Networks only realized the value of patents when they restructured their business after they declared bankruptcy, and then streamlined more than 8,000 patents to more than 6,000 and put them up for public auction.

And now......

It can only be said that Hu Yifei caught up with the good time, and the financial crisis came at the right time.

"Others are afraid of the financial crisis like a tiger, but he treats the financial crisis like his first love."

Under the influence of such an international financial situation, the most valuable department of Nortel Network is only about 2 billion, or even more than 1 billion yuan can be traded, which shows that in their plan, wireless business is not the focus, their focus is on operators and enterprise networks.

But what's interesting is that Qualcomm, as a leading enterprise in mobile phone chips in the future, must pay them patents, which shows that if you get the company's patents, it will be a huge supplement to Riot Technology, and it will make Riot Technology one of the companies with the largest patent base.

And with strong enough patents, Samsung and other mobile phone manufacturers, and even some hardware manufacturers, including Qualcomm, must rely more closely on Riot Technology, otherwise, patents are a sword of Damos above their heads, and this will completely lay a solid foundation for Riot Technology.

Just like the ending of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", you can see it from the divergent terminal, and Qin Fen is Hu Yifei who sees it...... Future!
