Chapter 421 Technology Licensing

readx;?“ It's not as scary as you think! All we ask is that after the technology is licensed to you, the XOS operating system, you can't modify it, it must be the original system. www.biquge.info*/" Li Lingxiang then added, "If you want to optimize and revise, you need to be compatible with the original system, and you need to pay relevant royalties to us!" ”

Hearing Li Lingxiang say this, many manufacturer representatives suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Changing the operating system, they also thought about it, but obviously this is a thankless task, most manufacturers, just want to keep up with the trend and make overall and hardware money by making touch screen phones.

Only some ambitious manufacturers will think of optimizing and improving on the basis of authorized operating systems, so as to build their own Internet ecosystems, and then obtain the advantages of mobile Internet traffic entrance, but not every manufacturer has such ambitions now!

Manufacturers are allowed to modify the version of the technology license, and they need to pay a patent fee of 50 yuan to the partner company. In fact, partner companies discourage this.

The value of the original XOS operating system, the browser, input method, application store and other Internet entrances bundled by the system is not necessarily inferior to Microsoft's direct sale of operating system software in the Internet era.

Microsoft sells operating system software, although it can get a lot of revenue at one time, but it also needs to pay a lot of technical maintenance costs afterwards. And after selling the software all at once, consumers are actually less likely to spend money on another system for a long time.

Therefore, Microsoft, which seems to have a black heart, is not as profitable as imagined. If it is an Internet giant, it needs to rely on selling the operating system itself to license. As long as the traffic entrance is controlled, the system is free for users to use, and it can also continue to get a share of fees from some vendors who want to promote application software.

Secondly, after controlling the traffic entrance, promote your company's new Internet products. It also becomes very easy, a little bit of new product introduction traffic for your own company, you can get a large number of users.

Of course, the partner company only requires the mobile phone manufacturer not to modify the operating system itself and some tools and applications that come with the system.

Subsequently, the small partner company began to sign technical licensing agreements with mobile phone manufacturers, Coolpad, Lenovo, and ZTE. The first batch of technology licenses was obtained.

Some other copycat manufacturers and small partner companies are not considering authorization for the time being!

……

Since 2008, in fact, the headlines in the news have been more related to the poor economy and financial markets. The ability of touchscreen phones to dominate the headlines is far from being comparable to financial news.

Last year. Global investors are still blindly optimistic. This year, it has gradually become more and more panicked and pessimistic!

Last year, the multi-trillion-dollar hole in non-performing assets in the United States was punctured, triggering the subprime mortgage crisis.

As a result of the subprime mortgage crisis, a large number of financial institutions in the United States collapsed, real estate declined, and the stock market plummeted. As in all financial crises, people are terrified. It's like the end of the world.

However, in Wang Qinian's view, the financial crisis can only be regarded as an insignificant thing for human society. Unless some aggressive investors blindly increase leverage, the leverage bursts after the financial crisis, resulting in poor turnover or bankruptcy. Financially conservative companies will not be bothered much in this situation.

Wang Qinian has been in contact with two types of entrepreneurs. One is very optimistic and constantly borrowing. Expanding the scale of the business, they want to make all the profits. and ignoring market risk and financial risk. However, in the case of a relatively prosperous economy and a prosperous industry, this kind of gambler bets on half of the entrepreneurs, and often can obtain huge benefits. Of course, in the economic crisis, the vast majority of bankrupt companies are also such people.

Another type of entrepreneur will not invest because of the prosperity of the industry. Instead, keep waiting and waiting, until the peers go bankrupt on a large scale. At this time, it is often possible to use the price of picking up garbage to acquire the assets of peers. For example, at the peak of the boom, peers borrowed hundreds of millions of yuan for projects. When the economic depression and the entire industry is the most pessimistic situation of the broken capital chain, and no one is willing to take over, these conservative investors, because they have a huge amount of funds, can use millions of yuan to take over the projects that their opponents have spent hundreds of millions of yuan to invest blindly.

There is also the same in the financial industry, conservative financial companies, stick to tradition, refuse any high-risk projects, will not blindly increase leverage, and it is always easy to respond to the crisis. But every time the hole of the financial crisis is that in the name of innovation, in essence, increasing financial leverage to create a lot of new products, in the end, will lead to bubbles and crashes.

For example, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is essentially a situation in which financial institutions increase leverage and lend money to a large number of people who simply cannot repay in pursuit of profit. In the end, this kind of bad debts that cannot be repaid will accumulate more and more, and sooner or later there will be a little collapse. After a large number of bad debts were written off, countless people lost all their money, and some financial institutions and enterprises went bankrupt to pay for the crisis.

Wang Qinian knew about the crisis, but he did not take advantage of it to make a profit.

In the early days, when the small partner companies were small, this kind of speculation may not attract the attention of governments. However, when the scale is large to a certain extent, all kinds of investment behaviors will be watched and even monitored.

Therefore, the investment of small partner companies is relatively convergent. More focus on long-term benefits.

In terms of long-term benefits, high-quality industrial projects are obviously more profitable than financial investments.

After all, like Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, from an industrial point of view, the annualized yield of more than 20% per year is actually not a very amazing yield. Many industrial projects can achieve such a rate of return. Of course, there are almost no bottlenecks in Berkshire's financial projects. As long as you continue to find a stable and profitable project, and become a shareholder of the project, you can not consider management.

Of course, in terms of financial investment in partner companies, they are similar to Warren Buffett, focusing on long-term investment. Even if it realizes that the financial crisis is coming, the partner company is just spending less than $5 million to buy short stock index futures orders to hedge the loss of the decline in the market value of the stock position, which is similar to buying insurance. Rather than using a huge amount of money to go naked short.

In fact, people are frightened by the financial crisis, although there are many industries that are in a recession. But another part of the emerging industries are standing on the tuyere.

For example, touchscreen mobile phones are obviously bucking the trend and becoming the strongest growth point in this era. (To be continued)
