Chapter 969: Revolution (II)
Chapter 969: Revolution (II)
"You mean we do it like Microsoft?" Yang Yiwei smiled and said. Microsoft's method of grabbing the market back then was actually very simple, do piracy! How to do piracy? The answer is very simple, but don't forget one thing, when Microsoft made the system, the international Internet field was not developed at that time, and there were very few scientific and technological personnel in related aspects, and more importantly, if Microsoft did not open the internal database, then it was very difficult for outsiders to crack Microsoft's system back then.
To put it bluntly, the prevalence of piracy back then was simply made by Microsoft itself, Microsoft directly and secretly released part of its own system source code, and also released a lot of databases, so there was the prevalence of piracy, but I have to say that Microsoft's seemingly stupid approach has become the most successful attempt by Microsoft to monopolize the Internet system in the world.
Microsoft has lost a lot of profits, but it has directly cut off other companies that want to do the same system to enter the market and compete with them, which of the two is more profitable, it is simply self-evident. "Hehe, since Mr. Yang knows about it, then I won't continue to say it, I don't know what Mr. Yang thinks?" Chambers chuckled twice before asking.
"Oh. I don't know how we can cooperate? Yang Yiwei thought about it and asked directly with a smile.
"It's very simple, give us a part of the technical authorization, so that we can produce the Starfall Group's Skynet data router, after all, although your company's Skynet operating costs are cheap, but the price advantage is not particularly obvious, especially after the countries have imposed tariffs on your company, you have to increase the price, which makes the biggest price advantage lose the pace of competition, and in terms of practicality, it is still an ordinary broadband advantage." Chambers smiled.
"Mr. Yang, you can't deny it. Although tablets, laptops and other computers are very popular now, but because of the high-performance battery, these computers are not used outdoors for a long time, and they are more used in a family, so that if there are two laptops in a home, they will not be able to use a network together, but ordinary broadband networks can, if you buy two Starfall Group networks. Any price concession will be narrower, and there is no difference from ordinary broadband, and Mr. Yang should know that with the launch of your company's Skynet, ordinary telecom operators are bound to further reduce the communication price. You wouldn't deny that, would you? Chambers continued, smiling.
Yang Yiwei nodded, "What Mr. John said makes a lot of sense. I agree with that. But what else do we have to gain at this point in our cooperation? After all, if this development continues, I think Skynet should be the ultimate form of Internet development. ”
Chambers also nodded in agreement: "I admit that the Starfall Group is doing the right thing on this point, but Mr. Yang, as a financial genius in the world, I don't think he will be satisfied with the operation of the Starfall Computer Technology Company to the point where it is now, right?" Throughout all the products promoted by Starfall Group in the past. Which one is not epoch-making significance? I believe that Skynet is no exception, but at this point, Skynet can only be said to be an advanced application of the communication network of Xingnuo Communication Company of Xingshen Group, and it is not of epoch-making significance. I think Mr. Yang must have further operations. ”
Yang Yiwei was a little dumbfounded, I didn't expect that foreigners' sycophants and high hats were also so skilled, but I have to say, Chambers said this, Yang Yiwei is really a little embarrassed, Chambers is a few years younger than Yang Yiwei's grandfather, and he slammed Yang Yiwei's fart here, Yang Yiwei was really useful in his heart, shrugged his shoulders, Yang Yiwei thought about it and said: "It's okay for us to cooperate, but I still have one condition." ”
"Mr. Yang, you say." As soon as Chambers heard that Yang Yiwei was willing to cooperate, he was immediately overjoyed, to know that this is a major change in Cisco, whether it is the switch market or the router market, Cisco cannot directly eat all the market, and these network accessories are actually not very difficult to technically, but Skynet is different, if you can get the authorization of the Star Fall Group, it means that for a long time, this is a monopoly market!
You must know that the current Skynet actually has a lot of shortcomings, especially its connection method, which is a one-to-one data connection, and like ordinary broadband, ordinary LAN can share a broadband that connects to the WAN and cannot be used, which makes Skynet's shortcomings actually not small, and Skynet's current sales can reach such a point, which can only be said to have a lot to do with the previous reputation of the Star Fall Group.
Many ordinary users don't think about it so much at all, and after they buy it back, they find that it can't be used through the router, of course, this one defect does not mean that Skynet is not competitive, but for many large customers, especially those who use high-speed broadband company users, Skynet basically can't be selected, because each server needs to use switches and routers, and you can't buy a Skynet account directly with a server cabinet, right? No matter how cheap things are, they can't be cheap.
"It's very simple,We can provide you with free technology authorization,Even in terms of ordinary routers,We even provide you with some new technology so that the wireless signal of your router can cover a wider distance,For example, the current home router is about 15 meters of distance is basically the limit,Although there is a wider,But the wider is 30 meters,And the price is very expensive。 We can make your routers have a wireless signal coverage of 100 meters or more. Yang Yiwei thought for a while.
"However, I have one request, that is, Cisco must authorize it, and the Starfall Group can use all the patents in your hands, and I have this one condition." Yang Yiwei said his requirements, as a pioneer in the field of network switches and routers, Cisco has a huge number of patents in his hands, for high-tech companies, the patents in his hands are the most powerful weapon, unless you are very careful, others can not crack your technology from your product You can not apply for patents.
Otherwise, it is better to apply for a patent, just like now the Star Fall Group in the hands of new materials, many of the materials that can be made on the earth have all applied for global patents, and these patents alone can bring a lot of profits to the Star Fall Group, of course, the patent application materials here do not need to submit all the technology, so now other countries have no way to crack the production method of these materials.
Even if it is cracked, there is still a big gap between laboratory production and large-scale production, but these are not things that Yang Yiwei needs to worry about, Yang Yiwei has enough things in his hands. And now Yang Yiwei needs the patents in Cisco's hands, and with these patents, the Skynet expansion activities of Xingshen Group can continue to be accelerated.
"Yes." After pondering for a while, Chambers nodded directly and agreed, it is nothing that the patent is licensed to the Starfall Group, anyway, many of these patents are going to expire, and there are some patents that can bring some profits to Cisco, but patents are more often used to exchange for enough profits, for example, now, since the Starfall Group can provide Cisco with more advanced production technology, it is nothing for Cisco to license these patents to the Starfall Group.
"Very good, then I wish us a happy cooperation, of course, when the patent is granted, it can be a secret cooperation, as for the new router developed by your company, as well as related technologies, the Star Fall Group will not be open to the public, the two of us have not met today." Yang Yiwei smiled and stretched out his hand.
Chambers was slightly stunned, but he instantly understood, since these techniques were given to Cisco by the Starfall Group, then of course the relevant authorization can be signed secretly, anyway, patents are useful when they are used, and if no one pursues you, even if you are infringing, others can't say anything. And Yang Yiwei did this, obviously because he didn't want to figure out what the Starfall Group wanted to do first.
Although it is not as thorough as what Microsoft did back then, it is almost the same, in a word, that is, the Starfall Group does not know the matter, and what you want to do with Cisco is your business.
Knowing what Yang Yiwei means, Chambers naturally doesn't care about this, anyway, this is not harmful to Cisco, but it is conducive to improving Cisco's reputation, which naturally doesn't matter. After shaking hands with Yang Yiwei, Chambers said goodbye directly, although the two only reached a verbal agreement, but Chambers knew that there would be no problem with the cooperation between the two sides.
Sure enough, the Starfall Group soon sent someone to secretly sign a contract with Chambers, and at the same time directly sent the relevant technology to the Cisco Group, and the Cisco Group, which got the technology, quickly verified the feasibility of the technology, and directly announced that the Cisco Group had researched a new generation of routers and switch products, which were aimed at the latest Skynet network of the Starfall Group.
The use of the new router is no different from the use of the previous router, the only difference is that the input account is the Skynet paid account of the Starfall Group, so that a Skynet paid account can be connected to many computers at the same time like WiFi, or other mobile devices.
