Chapter 378 WCDMA Acquisition
Xiao Qi calculated slightly, after ten years, almost more than 95 million patent authorizations, and now it seems to be a little more expensive in one or two years, but considering the rapid development of Huaguo in ten years, this money is simply a drop in the bucket.
In addition, the continuous appreciation of the renminbi against the US dollar in the future will also depreciate this money, but Xiao Qi's development in China will benefit a lot.
But he was not happy on the surface: "These guys are really dead asking for money, and they are all on this, isn't it enough to have six million a year?" I have to pay more than 30 million more. ”
Wade explained: "You can't say that, Mr. Xiao, in fact, the patent for optical fiber transmission equipment invented by Nortel Network itself is still very valuable. They now have a large amount of income from Nortel Network, and they are willing to sell it in every country, but this way of increasing year by year is also the norm of the market. After all, the development of the Internet is changing with each passing day, and haodejishu is not afraid that no one will buy it, and the price to you is already very cheap. ”
Xiao Qi nodded secretly.
Nortel Network made a fortune by relying on its own invention of optical fiber transmission equipment, because it can greatly improve the transmission speed of data, in line with Clinton's "information superhighway" construction Jihua, so Nortel Network made a lot of money, thus beginning their unrestrained expansion.
Intemperance means not digesting, needless to say, the market haode time, but once the market is not good, then it is easy to have problems.
For example, in recent years, the crisis of Nortel network happened to be on this optical fiber transmission equipment, because around 2001, the Internet bubble burst, and many companies that purchased Nortel network optical fiber transmission equipment have closed down, resulting in unintentional default.
As a result, a large number of equipment squeezes in Nortel's network. Unable to sell, resulting in a shortage of circulating funds for them, so that they could not support the losses of other industries, under the domino effect, the original super-large companies of more than 200 billion yuan collapsed and died.
In this case. Immediately after the economic upturn, Nortel Networks certainly hopes to sell the valuable things in hand for a little more value.
The companies in Western countries have always looked down on the Chinese market, because they know that no matter how good their things are, it will not be long before there will be imitations and cheaper products coming out, and then they will take advantage of the price advantage to force themselves to collapse - don't you believe it? Microsoft is the most haode example!
Therefore, Nortel Network heard that the Chinese people wanted to buy patents. Hurriedly reduced the price, and was afraid that the Chinese businessmen would not be able to hold it up after a few years and would no longer buy it, so they signed a ten-year contract in one go, which is almost the expiration of their patent protection period.
Otherwise, if it is calculated according to the normal situation, a superpower that is larger than the United States and has a population larger than the United States, the entire optical fiber transmission equipment package will be at least hundreds of millions a year. In addition, there will be a royalty for each piece of equipment when it is manufactured.
People have even given up the royalties, which means how they are not optimistic about the development of optical fiber in Huaguo.
They are not optimistic. Xiao Qi is very optimistic, and even has already been optimistic.
As long as the iPhone comes out, the era of smart phones will open, and from then on, Huaguo's demand for network speed will rise sharply, and the optical fiber jishu that determines the network speed. It's the most important part.
If Xiao Qi did not miscalculate, the three major network operators of Huaguo, Lianshu and Dentsu would definitely not dare to use pirated copies, so the improvement of Huaguo's network speed in the future should also be the result of their purchase of Jishu patents.
If only the patents for optical fiber transmission equipment were now in their own hands. Then Xiao Qi and several major operators in Huaguo have a natural advantage in cooperation, and they can even lay a good foundation for their future mobile phones to become the contract machines of the three major companies.
Although Apple's mobile phone number, the future Qiao gang leader also relied on the contract machines of various countries to develop so quickly!
signed a contract for ten years, which is a great thing that Xiao Qi never thought of before.
IF NOTHING ELSE, NORTEL NETWORK ONLY HAS TO HOLD ON UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR, AFTER THE OFFICIAL SALE OF THE IPHONE, THEN THEY WILL USHER IN A SPRING AGAIN, AND THE PRICE WILL DEFINITELY SKYROCKET EVERY YEAR!
Now that they have sent the ten-year patent authorization to Xiao Qi in one go, the young man can only smile and put it in his arms.
"I don't have any opinion on fiber optic transmission equipment." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qi said in a good time, "But for the acquisition of WCDMA's division, I hope to pay 100 million US dollars first, the second 200 million will be paid in January next year, and Zuihou's 100 million will be paid in March next year, what does Mr. Wade think?" ”
"Well...... Wade thought for a moment, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do, they want to get the money as soon as possible now, and get rid of this burden." ”
"In terms of money, it shouldn't be a problem, after all, for a large-scale acquisition, where can the money be paid off at once?" Xiao Qi has already had a plan, "As for the WCDMA department, it's even simpler, the employment contract relationship will be transferred directly to my company, from the first time the contract is signed, their salaries and benefits will be borne by me, and it is guaranteed that it will not be reduced." ”
Xiao Qi is right, any mature acquisition will never send money to the acquired company immediately after signing the contract, which is definitely the idiotic behavior of the nouveau riche.
Even in the United States, it is normal for an acquisition to be fully funded within a year.
Wade was stunned and said: "There are more than 80 people in their entire department, and the monthly salary, experiment, and administrative expenses have reached three million, and if you take it over in advance, it will make you spend at least 10 million more!" ”
"More than 10 million is nothing, the most important thing is to make them available to me as soon as possible." Xiao Qi replied calmly.
The most important thing in the 21st century is talent.
Although this phrase is said in China, it is just as practical in the United States, and even everywhere.
When buying a company, the most important thing is not the patent right, because the patent right is generally 20 to 25 years old, and in order to build your own patent fortress, you need to constantly invent new patents.
And these employees who originally created invention patents are naturally the most important human resources for further development, and it is definitely not easier to start from scratch than to continue research, and Xiao Qi certainly needs to settle their hearts.
Compared with the profits they created for Xiao Qi through patents in the future, what is the mere tens of millions of dollars? (To be continued......)
