Chapter 1117: HTC's Quest for Cooperation

Seeing that Xiao Qi was very gentle, Wang Hong took out a mobile phone from his briefcase and handed it over: "Qi Shao, for the first visit, we don't have any good gifts for you, here is a mobile phone from our HTC, you can see how it is." ”

Looking at this familiar chubby model, Xiao Qi smiled unconsciously, and asked while picking it up: "This is what you commonly call 'Ah Fu Ji', right?" ”

"Oh? Qi Shao even knows this? ”

Wang Hong was really surprised this time.

originally thought that Xiao Qi, a busy person who has a lot of opportunities, can know his wife and know HTC, which is already very remarkable, but he didn't expect him to even know this model that was only released last month.

And looking at Xiao Qi's skillful buttons, it seems that he has played before.

That's right.

Wang Hong guessed correctly, Xiao Qi did play with this "antique machine", it was in the flea electronic market in the previous life, Xiao Qi bought this intuitive touch screen mobile phone, and even split it down and studied it again.

"The phone is a good phone, the features and the touch screen are good, and if it had been released a year ago, it would have been very popular; Released two years ago, it will be a dominant-class phone. Xiao Qi smiled and put it on the table, "But now, its vitality is only two or three years at most, and it is not the right time to be born!" ”

"I don't think there's anything to be sorry for." Cheng Wen suddenly said: "What should be eliminated should be swept into history." If you just keep complaining and regretting, you will never have a chance to catch up with the international advanced level. ”

is worthy of being a jishu talent, and he speaks so hard.

But I'm afraid it's his mentality that led to HTC producing the first smartphone based on the Android system platform!

Samsung also abandoned its own system and switched to the Android camp after constantly hitting a wall.

Even if it's one step ahead, HTC still doesn't have as much power as Samsung. So much so that although they were the ones who led the way, they lost to the pursuers who caught up later.

"I think we at HTC have our own unique jishu, and we are also ready to participate in the real open platform - Android mobile phone operating system, if we try to catch up, we may not be able to lose to Apple and Samsung." Wang Hong also said with a straight face, "Although you are more familiar with the two of them. There's also a little more collaboration. But if you give HTC a chance, we'll give you something more! ”

"Hehe, so you're here to discuss cooperation this time?" Xiao Qi nodded slightly.

"If possible, of course, we hope to reach a cooperation with you as soon as possible." Now that it has been said, Wang Hong does not hide it, "We know that Qi Shao has opened up many jishu patents to Apple and Samsung, if HTC wants to enter the field of smartphones." The patents you have in hand are essential. ”

Xiao Qi nodded again, "Wang Dong, what you said is right, but do you know that you are definitely not the only one who came to me to open the jishu patent." Nokia, Motorola, Sony, Ericsson...... Wait for the company, they have already come, but I haven't agreed. We are talking about business, Wang Dong, why do you think. I'm going to open this jishu patent to you? ”

Guo Taiming laughed when he heard this.

He had also heard about this, and these mobile phone giants were all closed in front of Xiao Qi without exception. It has caused countless conjectures in the whole shijie mobile phone industry.

There are a few of the most reliable.

First, Apple and Samsung have to pay high patent licensing fees to Xiao Qi, according to industry estimates, at least between $10-20 per mobile phone.

Mobile phone companies such as Nokia and Motorola, of course, could not give Xiao Qi so much patent licensing fees, so things were deadlocked.

The second reason is that both Apple and Samsung are shareholders and collaborators of the "app store". The more their phones are sold, the more beneficial it is for app store apps and games to sell.

Xiao Qi, who owns 90% of the shares of the app store, of course, wants to make more money.

After all, companies such as Nokia and Motorola are impossible to enter the app store. They are more inclined to develop their own operating platforms and develop various software and games on their own.

Because they have this confidence, but they are too arrogant, thinking that Xiao Qi's app store is very easy to copy, and as long as they rely on their huge global sales volume, they can attract customers to their app store.

It's no wonder that Nokia's shipments in 2007 will reach a terrifying 447 million units, such a huge base of people, so that they are quite complacent, and they don't care about Apple's smartphones.

All right.

The topic is far away.

What Guo Taiming knows, Wang Hong and Cheng Wen know, but they still came, which proves that they have the conditions for Xiao Qi to agree.

"Qi Shao, if I open up HTC's shares and give you 5%, can you open the jishu patent to us?" Wang Hong said: "And for every HTC phone, how much Samsung gives you, I will directly add 50%!" ”

Xiao Qi's eyes moved.

HTC's stock reached $36 billion at its peak, and if 5% is given, Xiao Qi cashed out at the highest, at least $1.8 billion, which is still a pure profit, and Xiao Qi will receive more equity for each mobile phone in the future.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Qi refused this temptation without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Wang Dong, I can't agree." ”

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€ Wang Hong asked in surprise, "As long as you agree, there will be 1 billion US dollars in the account." And the more we sell, the more money you make? ”

"A lot of times, money isn't the main thing." Xiao Qi didn't explain, just nodded simply.

"I see." Wang Hong said seriously, "Qi Shao, do you think HTC will not succeed?" So don't want to deal with us? ”

This woman's instincts are so sharp.

Xiao Qi sighed in his heart.

"HTC may be successful, but I won't give any of the patents to the Android camp." Xiao Qi changed his way of speaking, "Our independent operating system camp and the Android system camp have always been enemies. Unless you can find another independent operating system, please forgive me for not being able to help. ”

"What if we had our own operating system?" Suddenly, Cheng Wen interjected again, "We promise not to join the Android camp, can you cooperate with us?" ”

"Oh?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qi's eyes immediately became sharp. (To be continued......)
