Chapter 294: Pros and Cons
"Is there any progress on technology transfer?" Hu Fei asked. "There has been some progress, but not much, and one of the biggest problems is that cannot be solved at this time. Hei Tian said, but he was thinking in his heart What means did Figo Security use to persuade Apple to implement the customization model? When Qiao Buying said the news last night, he was thinking about it, but he didn't understand it until now.
Hei Tian couldn't figure it out, that's because he couldn't think of it at all, those new features and new models displayed by Apple's cloth workers, whether it is a security firmware, or personal customization business, the technology is provided by Figo Security, but the cover obtained by Apple, not a dime will be distributed to Figo Security, Figo Security in addition to obtaining a commitment to allow value-added services, almost belongs to the white sticking of Apple, it is precisely because of this premise that there is cooperation between the two sides.
"What's the problem?" Hu Yifei asked.
"It's that huge deposit." When Hei Tian said this, some couldn't say it, the money still had to be paid back in full after three years, but no department was willing to bear this deposit, even if the dominance of technology was transferred to this department, no one was willing, and some even asked Hei Tian, doing business with the government, what else is not at ease, let the government pay the deposit, do not believe the government?
In a word, I hung up the phone quickly after holding back the dark sky, and if we continued to talk, the big hat would have to be buckled on Figo's head.
"It's a matter of margin......" Hu Yifei sat there pondering, the margin figure he proposed before was the old 100 million, this amount was not even one-twentieth of the price offered by Google to buy the technology at that time, and what Google bought was only one technology of Figo Security, and now what Figo Security wants to transfer is all five technologies.
"I'll try harder!" Hei Tian said that Hu Yifei promised to transfer the technology for free, which is already benevolent and righteous, and if he can't even make up the deposit, it is really unreasonable.
"I can reduce the amount of the deposit!" Hu Yifei said suddenly, "But you must exchange the business licenses and approvals of Internet-related industries." As for the license and approval, it is just a matter of stamping one more stamp, and using the approval in exchange for the dominance of the technology, presumably they will not agree. After thinking about it, Hei Tian felt that this method was feasible, at least he could try it, so he said, "How much can you reduce the amount of the margin?" ”
"Half, sixty million!" Hu Yifei said.
"Whatever permission you need, just ask!" As soon as he heard this number, Hei Tian was sure in his heart, how could he get this number, although he didn't know why Hu Yifei was so generous, but it was not difficult to get any approval and permission for Bai Huahua to spend 60 million yuan.
"The more the merrier, of course!" Hu Yifei smiled, we will collect as much as the black boss can get.
"Okay, then I'll do my best!" Hei Tian smiled, very confused in his heart, Figo Security has only provided technical solutions since its establishment, and does not produce any strict products, what is the use of asking for so many approvals, it will not be to make 60 million dollars back after the approval documents.
After negotiating this, the dark sky will no longer delay, and he will get up and say goodbye, "There is one more thing, I will leave Dongyang today!" As for cooperation, I will try to implement them as soon as possible in accordance with your requirements! ”
"What time is it?" Hu Yifei looked at the time, "Why is it so sudden, if you have time, ask Teacher Hui and Team Li out again, and we will see you off!" "Don't be so polite!" Heitian smiled, "Maybe I will come to Dongyang often in the future, next time!" Hu Yifei was no longer polite, and said, "Next time, you must tell me in advance, I will pick you up!" As they spoke, they walked out, and when they went out, they saw the boss leading Nokia's faint president to visit the so-called exhibition area on the first floor. When Hei Tian saw it, he turned around and entered another elevator, just one step staggered from the vice president.
Sending away the black sky, Hu Yifei turned around and entered the company, and he met with the vice president, Mr. Tony, hello! Hu Yifei greeted the faint president.
"Mr. Hu, hello!" President Tony shook hands in front of the ground: "I'm not late!" "No, no!" Hu Yifei smiled, raised his hand and said, "Let's talk about it!" Nokia's people came this time, mainly for the security standard implemented by Apple, that standard said to be Apple's, but in fact, it is based on the security firmware opened by Figo Security, a set of nonsense standards that were hurriedly launched, as long as it is separated from the security firmware of Figo Security, the standard is a piece of waste paper, and it does not play the slightest role in security Second, the real insiders are clear about this.
Tony came today to explore the wind and see if there is a chance to reach an agreement with Figo Security, whether it is technology licensing, technology acquisition, or in the way of cooperation like Apple, in a word, Nokia also has to master its own security standards, only in this way, will there be bargaining chips to negotiate with the Convex Standards Alliance.
Hu Yifei clearly refused this, his reason is very simple, Mr. Tony, Figo Security is also one of the basic members of the Mouth Standards Alliance! ”
When Tony heard this, instead of the slightest embarrassment, he was stunned and surprised, Figo Anjian is indeed a member of the oral association, and he is enough to cry and question, but it is just a nominal vanity, first Figo Security does not have the dominance, and secondly, Figo Security does not produce mobile phones, you do not produce mobile phones, but you get together in a mobile phone security standards alliance, it really doesn't make any sense. Tony couldn't figure out why Hu Yifei attached so much importance to the meaningless status of this spoon.
"I inquired, Figo Security and some Chinese security companies, through the form of licensing the use of technical solutions, carry out cooperation, Nokia also has security companies, we want Hu Yifei to directly wave his hand to interrupt Tony's words, said with a smile, "Out of unfamiliarity with the operating rules and environment of overseas enterprises, Figo Security has not authorized the technical solutions to the sea for the time being!" Plans for businesses. ”
Tony hit a nail, but still didn't give up, "that" what we license to those companies is only a complete security solution, and does not provide core technology. Hu Yifei looked at Tony, his meaning is obvious, that is, relying on this way of cooperation, the mobile phone security firmware cannot be opened, which is completely contrary to Nokia's original intention, Nokia wants the technology of mobile phone security standards, not to change the line to do security.
Tony shrugged his shoulders, looking very helpless, at present, there are four or five companies that have mastered the technology of killing viruses in China, among which the technical solutions of Eli Security are the most mature, and they have sold several sets overseas, and have achieved good results. There is no second option other than to borrow Figo's safety.
Although there are only three mobile phone companies in the alliance, they all have their own shaking systems, through the support system, Q indirectly controls many mobile phone manufacturers in the world, if they insist on implementing the sterilization virus mode, it is equivalent to isolating Nokia and Blackberry, in the mobile phone industry, really have their own operating system, there are only these two left.
"I don't understand, as long as you join the Q Alliance, Nokia can get the technology of hiding and killing viruses for free, why does Nokia have to launch a new standard by itself!" Hu Yifei asked, looking very layman.
Tony shook his head, not knowing whether to solve the problem or not, but finally thought about it and said, "We have our own considerations!" ”
Hu Yifei looked enlightened and nodded deeply, "It's a pity, we can't do anything about it."
But Rule is about other things, and we are very willing to cooperate with Nokia, such as multi-desktop technology, custom technology, software standard solutions, etc., we can talk about these things. ”
Tony had already seen the first two items later, but in the latter one, he didn't quite understand what Hu Yifei meant, so he said, "What is the standard solution for this software?" ”
"Figo Software is currently working on a technical solution that aims to provide a software writing environment for program developers to use, so that their software can run on mobile phones with different standards. Naihu Yifei said.
"Can you learn more about it?" Tony asked anxiously that what Hu Yifei said was Nokia's "weakness".
Nokia's mobile phone, strong in the shape of the tough shape, Nokia in the mobile phone design soil, with the world's most advanced technology level, this in the past, probably Nokia's advantage, everyone is for its machine is durable, extraordinary temperament to buy. But since five years ago, this advantage has become a weakness of Nokia.
The personality of the appearance makes almost every Nokia mobile phone use different hardware standards, and the processor and keyboard are not different. The screen size is not the same, the resolution is not the same, the mode of operation is not the same, and even the version of the system is not known. As a result, Nokia needs to design a set of corresponding software for each mobile phone, and in the end, there are no less than dozens of standards for zero, and if only Nokia provides application software for its own machine, it is absolutely inadequate.
So later, Nokia also increased its support for third-party program developers, hoping that more program developers will design applications for their mobile phones to meet the needs of users, but program developers are faced with such complex dozens of models, and they also have no way to start.
On the other hand, Apple, he only has one mobile phone, the same shape, the same hardware, the same operating system, all the standards are the same, what kind of software the program developer wants to design, only need to be opened once, so that all Apple mobile phones can be used, so a local market, it quickly won the support of a large number of program developers. That's why everyone said that Apple defeated all its opponents with one mobile phone, "Of course!" Hu Yifei stood up, "I'll take Mr. Tony to the building, and let the person in charge of Figo Software give you a detailed introduction!" ”
