Chapter 581: Never Board the Broken Boat (Congratulations to the Life Heaven Alliance Leader!) )
Griffin was an old courtier of Motorola, and he almost grew up watching the mobile phone, which was a new thing at the time.
can compare Xiao Qi's DreamPad with the first analog cellular mobile phone, and it was said by the witnesses of history back then, Rao is teenager felt that he should be indifferent to fame and fortune, and he also had a feeling of blood boiling.
But at the moment, he is in the negotiation arena, and Griffin is not a good stubble, and with a few compliments, he wants Xiao Qi to expose the essence of the hot-blooded youth, but he is still not skilled enough.
Nodding, Xiao Qi still smiled and said, "I'm honored, Xiexie, for your praise." ”
Seeing that this trick was not successful, Griffin was not discouraged, and continued to say with a smile: "There is still half an hour, and the dinner party should start, and I will not be shy about it." Mr. Xiao, we at Motorola are interested in joining forces with you to create brilliance together, what do you think? ”
Create brilliance together?
It's to find a cushion before you die, right?
XIAO QI COULDN'T HELP TWITCHING IN HIS HEART, AS SOON AS THE IPHONE APPEARED, MOTOROLA'S DAY WOULD BE WANG XIAOER'S NEW YEAR, A YEAR WAS NOT AS GOOD AS A YEAR, AND A FEW YEARS LATER IT ENDED UP BEING ACQUIRED BY GOOGLE.
How dare such a company get on the boat?
You have to run away to be safe!
Xiao Qi looked at him sincerely and said, "Mr. Griffin, you also know that the current situation of DreamPad is very good, and I have sufficient funds in my hands, and I have no plans to cooperate with other companies. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely work with a famous company like Motorola. ”
"Well, you rejected Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs, and that's the reason, right?" Griffin asked.
"Yes, but not for reason, but for fact."
"Mr. Xiao, if you insist on only making tablets. I'm not going to say that either. But are you really only willing to make tablets? ”
"Oh? Mr. Griffin means ......"
Knowing that Xiao Qi was pretending to be stupid, Griffin still didn't see it, and said with a straight face: "The tablet has opened the era of intelligence, which is your great credit!" But no matter how good a tablet is, it has an inherent fatal flaw! That is, it is too large to be easily carried around. AND THERE IS NO SUITABLE COMMUNICATION FUNCTION, SO IN THE FACE OF THE MENACING IPHONE SMARTPHONE, WHETHER IN SALES, OR IN PROFITS, WILL BE AT A DISADVANTAGE, AND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS, THIS GAP WILL BECOME MORE AND MORE OBVIOUS, AND EVENTUALLY CRUSH YOUR HARD WORK! ”
Xiao Qi nodded indeafly.
Griffin was smart and saw at a glance the inherent disadvantages of tablets.
IN THE FUTURE, IPHONES WILL BE ABLE TO REACH 40 MILLION UNITS SOLD IN A QUARTER. HOWEVER, THE IPAD SERIES HAS ONLY SOLD ABOUT 30 MILLION UNITS A YEAR, AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS CERTAINLY NOT A LITTLE BIT.
But who told Xiao Qiwan to be reborn for so many years?
IF IT WAS REBORN IN 2000, XIAO QI WOULD DEFINITELY CHOOSE THE IPHONE WITHOUT HESITATION, BUT IT WAS ONLY REBORN IN 2005, AND THE IPHONE HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT STAGE, AND HE COULD ONLY CHOOSE THE IPAD.
However, there is one thing that Griffin did not expect, and that is that the iPad will definitely make less money than the IPHONE, but this is not the case with the DreamPad.
Stay in Anthony, California. Every day, he reported to Xiao Qi on the negotiation of patent royalties, and now the preliminary results have been roughly finalized.
After intense negotiations. With the guiding patent price given by Xiao Qi, Apple, which uses more than 20 patents of Fairy Company, even if it is offset by its own patents, has to pay a patent fee of IPHONE8 US dollars per part to Mingxiang Holdings and Qicai Investment.
THIS MEANS THAT FOR EVERY IPHONE SOLD, THERE ARE 8 U.S. METALS IN XIAOQI.
With this income alone. XIAO QI CAN MAKE UP FOR PART OF THE PROFIT GAP WITH THE IPHONE, NOT TO MENTION THAT XIAO QI HAS ANOTHER WAY TO INCREASE PROFITS.
Seeing that Xiao Qi seemed to be contemplative, Griffin hit the railroad while it was hot: "If Mr. Xiao decides to enter the smartphone industry in the future, we Motorola are your most haode collaborators!" We have the largest service system in Shijie, and we also have strong Jishu strength. With a strong network, these are the supreme weapons to help you gallop in the smartphone industry! ”
XIAO QI SMILED, "WITH MOTOROLA JOINING, CAN WE BEAT THE IPHONE?" ”
"As long as you work hard, what can't you achieve?" Griffin patted his chest and said: "You have reached an interpatent agreement with Apple, we can let go of our hands to design new mobile phones, and in this regard, tens of thousands of Motorola design engineers around the world are waiting to serve you!" ”
He said it very beautifully, but Xiao Qi still didn't have the slightest temptation.
If it is Nokia, it can be considered, they have accumulated more than five times more patents in mobile phones than Motorola, especially in smartphones and touch mobile phones.
Even in the future, the patent fees that Qiao Gang Leader gave them every year have exceeded Nokia's own mobile phone profit income.
Not to mention smartphones, even the current tablet computers, when Xiao Qi paid for the patent fees of the dream chip, some of them were also transferred by ARM to Nokia.
Broadcom's wireless chips, half of the patent fees to be transferred to Nokia and Ericsson, you can imagine how strong Nokia's Jishu patents are.
As for Motorola......
In terms of patents, it is purely a tragic role.
So Nokia was able to survive in 2013, and Motorola was acquired by Google in 2011, and the end was very sighing.
Looking back at the expectant old man, Xiao Qi couldn't bear it, but he also opened his mouth: "Mr. Griffin, cooperation is a decision that needs to be seriously considered, and after I go back, I will urge the company's strategic department to seriously consider this proposal, but now I can't give you any guarantees." ”
Griffin couldn't help but sink in his heart when he saw Xiao Qi's resolute expression.
He had already thought that with Apple's patent support, coupled with his patent accumulation in the field of smart electronics, it was very easy for Xiao Qi to obtain various patent authorizations for mobile phones.
The reason is very simple, as long as you want to enter the smartphone market, then you must get Xiao Qi's consent, otherwise the patent will never pass!
In order to gain Xiao Qi's support, Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson and even Motorola itself have to open their patents to Xiao Qi accordingly.
In this way, what other collaborators does Xiao Qi need?
You can make your own smartphone!
It's just that I didn't expect that in the face of the olive branch actively thrown by a behemoth like a motorola mobile phone, he, a teenager, could be so calm and unmoved at all.
What a genius who even Jobs has to be soft! (To be continued......)
