"Since Mr. Xiao has said so, I, Mario, will definitely help you complete this commission." Mario muttered, "I'll pack up my things and I'll be able to leave tomorrow, now let's draft a commission contract, and the patent code can be used with your application number at the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Qi admired Mario more and more, in addition to knowing his patience, perseverance and kindness, he was so neat and neat, and so meticulous and careful, no wonder he could bring down that unstoppable villain in the future.

Mario is a very strict person, picked up Xiao Qi's patent application number, and immediately drafted the contract again, and after a while, the simple and clear entrustment contract was written.

Xiao Qi took it and looked at it, "Hey, Mr. Merlot, aren't the contracts all dozens of dozens of contracts, and write a lot of useful and useless things?" How is yours so simple? ”

"Those are things that I don't have confidence in myself, and I don't need to put aside my responsibilities first." Mario shrugged and said, "I'm a lawyer, and I'm not here to cheat and cheat, so I need to go to such great lengths?" ”

Sincerity is one of Mario's great strengths, and it is precisely for this reason that so many people who can't afford a lawyer have the courage to ask Mario for help.

Xiao Qi briefly looked at the binding force of the contract, signed his name, and then handed out a check written on Haode.

"Two million?" Mario took it and looked at it, frowned unconsciously: "Isn't it written in the contract, the total cost is 200,000, plus my travel expenses?" What are you doing with all that for me? ”

"When I walked in just now, I saw a few people moving, so I asked by the way." Xiao Qi said lightly, "Your office is going to be demolished, and the new address is not located yet, right?" You can use this money first, after all, I want to do business in China. There are many things that are inconvenient to come to the United States directly in the future, so if you want to find a lawyer to work with, it is nothing to pay a little money in advance, right? ”

Mario didn't know what business Xiao Qi did, thinking that it was just the same investment as other Chinese people, and thought about it for a while. He accepted the check, "Okay, even if I borrow your money." ”

"You don't need to borrow, it's an investment." Xiao Qi smiled, "There will be a lot of things in the future, and you can't do it alone, so it's better for you to open a small law firm and find a few people to help you, even if this money is my investment in a law firm." ”

"Where do I have so many CASES to do?" Although opening your own law firm is the dream of all lawyers. But Mario still shook his head again and again, "The more people you find, the more salaries you have to pay, you lose money in this business, so don't do it well." ”

"Mr. Merlot, look at the more than 100 patents I have applied for, this is only the first step, there will be more heavy things to deal with in the future." Xiao Qi couldn't help but say. "It's settled, I have a 20% stake in your firm. You can decide the rest, I don't interfere. ”

As soon as Mario heard that his law firm, which had not yet opened, was actually valued at 10 million by Xiao Qi, he immediately refused.

But Xiao Qi was very persistent, and the two argued for a while, but Xiao Qi still used "opening a law firm." Isn't it good to be able to make more money and help the poor? Mario was convinced.

It's fair to say here that Mario is a good guy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to make more money. Helping others and working hard to earn money are two things that can be completely incompatible.

And Xiao Qi will face Qiao Gang, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and other predators in the future, without a strong team of lawyers, I am afraid that the business has not been done, and it will be dragged out by this heavy prosecution and prosecution.

Mario's current ability may not be as good as those gold medal barristers, but his patience and resilience are absolutely first-class, with the help of such a good lawyer, Xiao Qi can rest assured in the company's legal affairs in the future.

XIAO QI'S TIME IS VERY URGENT, SEEING THAT THE IPHONE IS ABOUT TO GO ON THE MARKET, THE ERA OF SMARTPHONES IS COMING, AND IT IS DEFINITELY AN URGENT PRIORITY TO BUY SOME PATENTS.

Although the total number of patents for smartphones and tablets is thousands, they are basically patents in four aspects: chip patents, underlying protocol-level patents, operating system jishu patents and application system patents.

Among them, except for the application system patents, which may be developed by small and medium-sized companies, more than 80% of the remaining three basic and core patents are in the hands of large companies.

Xiao Qi came to Linus for the third "operating system jishu patent", and he didn't need to buy the patent in this area, so his focus was on the first two.

Chip patents are different from underlying protocol-level patents.

Chip patents are generally specific to a certain manufacturer, such as Texas Instruments, ADI, Qualcomm, Nokia, etc.

The underlying protocol-level patents involve almost all first-class mobile phone manufacturers, such as Nokia, Motorola, Philips, Siemens, Sony Ericsson, etc.

In between, the patent barriers are most serious at the level of the underlying protocol, especially now that the general 2G mobile phones are very popular and the profits are the largest, they will definitely not give Xiao Qi such a nobody a chance to share the profits.

In the information given by William's private consulting company, Xiao Qi found that behind ADI was Merrill Lynch, and behind Texas Instruments was Goldman Sachs Bank, and he didn't feel a headache for a while.

Whether it is Merrill Lynch or Goldman Sachs, they are the top-level existence in the American financial community, especially Goldman Sachs, which is known as the most terrifying and greedy investment bank in the United States, and is more powerful than the Morgan system that has dominated Wall Street for a long time.

To snatch the cake from Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, you have to be prepared to sacrifice one hand.

Qualcomm's background is much simpler, with hundreds of prominent engineers jointly owning and operating autonomously.

Unfortunately, they have never been short of money, and many companies have wanted to invest or buy their patents before, but Qualcomm has not agreed.

It's still hard to see Qualcomm's foresight, but when the 3G intelligent era comes, Qualcomm will become the electronics industry company with the largest patent revenue on shijie, and the profits will be so high that everyone will be jealous.

Even when smartphones began to prevail, Qualcomm was actually like an ant relative to Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and even Citigroup, but as a result, Qualcomm still relied on its extremely pure Jishu company advantages, and did not need to be subject to anyone at all, so that several famous investment banks wanted to swallow this golden egg-laying hen in one bite, and there was no place to start.

PS: Finally, I didn't save the manuscript, and I was a little panicked, but there will be this day after all. There are 10 monthly tickets for the new book, and there are 23 votes, and the tenth is broken, in addition to the normal addition, Xiucai is desperate to update one more chapter! Among the first 10, there are a lot of brushes, we can't be harmed by these crooked ways, why do honest people have to be suppressed by them? At least Xiucai still wants to board for a few more days, we are not RMB writers, but I am an upright author, I want to rely on the support of the fierce generals, and then a little more beautiful!! In addition, this week's plus essence has run out, and I didn't add it to the heroes, sorry! In addition, there is a single chapter testimonial, kneeling and begging the strong men to take a look!
