As a major company in the global technology field, Microsoft has to receive a soft hand every year just to collect patent fees.

Zhang Bin roughly calculated that if their mobile phone development goes smoothly next year, they will probably provide about $15 worth of patent fees for operating systems and audio and video coding technology, that is, for these two technologies alone, they will have to pay about $15 in patent fees for each mobile phone.

Of course, it's not just them, as long as they use their systems or patented technology.

A mobile phone, sometimes the cost of paying for the patent is higher than the cost of manufacturing the mobile phone itself, and Zhang Bin's current plan is to assemble the mobile phone first, wait until he has the technology, and then reduce the patent fee and increase the hardware cost.

Among the patent fees, the highest is the wireless network card patent, which is controlled by the West, Zhang Bin has no way to start, because people have sealed the technology as early as the last century.

In this way, he will have to start somewhere else.

The research and development of LET cellular baseband chips, because of the development of the times, a considerable number of companies are currently developing their own technology, Zhang Bin has already thought about it, and when the time comes, he will buy the next company and directly save this patent fee.

Today's baseband chips do not use LET technology (known as 4G), because 3G has not been popularized in China, let alone LET technology.

Many people believe that the development of communication technology generally takes ten to fifteen years, but from 3G to 4G, it actually only took seven or eight years.

Zhang Bin is actually not too late now, 3G is too late, but 4G still has a chance.

"Can you help me find a way to get more Apple stock?" Zhang Bin asked.

"Apple stock? You're very optimistic about their development, but as far as I know, their situation doesn't seem to be very optimistic this year", Gates was a little surprised, frowned, and reminded Zhang Bin.

Although Apple has developed to a certain extent with the efforts of Jobs, it seems that it has not been good in the past two years, and the first generation of Apple's mobile phones last year was not as good as expected, and the sales of various products lagged behind, resulting in a very sharp drop in stock prices.

And this is also Zhang Bin's opportunity.

By the second half of this year, Apple hairstyled the second Apple phone.

Everything will be fine.

The stock price has soared from a low of $80 to a crazy price of $700 in 2012, which is a miracle.

And this miracle, this year, not many people could have predicted.

Zhang Bin has always felt that he does not have any talent for management, and he has never thought of taking charge of a company with tens of billions or even more on his own.

So, when his golden finger expires, what should he use to ensure his interests?

stocks, buy a lot of high-quality stocks, so that even if he doesn't do anything in the future, he can still rely on a large amount of dividends to maintain his earnings.

"I don't have much money, so I just want to buy more when no one wants it, otherwise it will be too expensive and I can't afford it," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

Gates pondered for a while and said, "I still have some in my hand, do you need it?" Of course the price could be cheaper".

"How much?" Zhang Bin asked.

"Ten million shares," Gates said.

Zhang Bin rolled his eyes, there were too many for him to eat.

In the end, the two discussed and reached the following agreement.

Throughout the year of '08, Zhang Bin bought one million shares per month, and the price was calculated based on the real-time stock price by two dollars less.

At this time, the price of Apple's stock is still around $120, and there will even be a small peak in the middle, but in the second half of the year, it will fall wildly.

Zhang Bin could not wait until the second half of the year to buy, because then the speculation would be too obvious.

Zhang Bin originally had 600,000 shares, and this time he spent nearly $120 million to buy one million shares, for a total of 1.6 million shares.

The next day, Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu went to Hawkes' home in Washington.

This is the first time the two have come over.

Similar to Gates's house, a small farm yard seems to be far away from the hustle and bustle, in the countryside, there is such a small yard, and some ordinary people are neighbors, it looks no different.

It was only when I entered the inside that I realized that there was a cave.

"I like to collect old stuff", Bill. Hawkes explained with a smile and took Zhang Bin to appreciate his record.

In the yard, Bill has a dog, the same breed as Jane from Harlan Winery, and Bill seems to have a soft spot for him.

Anna. Hawkes was very happy about Zhou Jingyu's arrival, because it meant that his son would have a good day.

Two women, a small child and a dog, were playing excitedly in the yard.

Thanks to God, it gave them a cloudy day.

Hawkes's collection room was full of all kinds of strange things, swords, swords, sticks, porcelain, all kinds of stones, in short, there were a lot of them, but each category was well organized.

After eating at Hawks's house, Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu left in the afternoon.

On the morning of the 28th, Zhang Bin waited for Wang Zihang, who came from London.

He came to report on the situation in the past six months, and by the way, he took over the task in the first half of 08.

In half a year, Zhang Bin earned a total of $1.3 billion from the futures market, excluding interest rates and other expenses, plus the principal, Zhang Bin still has $1.5 billion.

Zhang Bin gave Wang Zihang $600 million to operate this money according to the plan.

The madness of oil futures will continue for half a year, and in the second half of the year, he can still make money from this.

He was going to go back first, and after he was done with the business there, he would go to London himself to talk to Ivor about continuing to borrow.

With 600 million US dollars, Zhang Bin already feels that he can't satisfy himself.

At this time, the price of Brent crude oil futures has risen to $100 a barrel, and according to Zhang Bin's memory, there is still room for an upside of $45 at most, excluding the loss in the middle, that is, there can be a profit of up to $40,000 in one hand.

According to the operation of 600 million US dollars, he can get a profit of 1.5 billion US dollars by July.

This money seems to be a lot, but there are not many opportunities like this in the future, so it is natural to be able to make a handful.

For the remaining $900 million, Zhang Bin needs to pay Gates $120 million, and then there is the cooperation with Bombardier, Zhang Bin reserves $150 million, and there is still $630 million.

Coupled with the $560 million he already has in his hand, Zhang Bin now has a total of $1.2 billion in funds in his account, which he can use.

As for ICBC's three billion, Zhang Bin decided not to pay it back for the time being, and directly invested in the construction of the film and television base, anyway, it is also an annual rate, and it is not necessary so early.

After talking with Wang Zihang for a long time, Wang Zihang returned to London in the afternoon.

Because of the strong retention of the Gates couple, Zhang Bin stayed for another night and returned to the magic capital on the 29th.

On the 30th, Zhang Bin returned to Longyang City.

Hengyuan Group has been officially working for three days, and he, the chairman, has not yet appeared.

On the 31st, Zhang Bin, who had a day off, officially came to the company.

I heard that the chairman of the board of directors had returned to the company, and everyone wanted to see the "face".

Zhang Bin's deeds have been spread throughout the company in recent days, and almost everyone knows Zhang Bin's "bottom line".

Passing by the office area, because there was a large number of people behind them, many employees took the initiative to stand up and shout hello to the chairman.

Zhang Bin just smiled, and then entered the office and started the first formal office of his chairman career.
