Pengcheng, Tengxun headquarters.

"Instant messaging has come to the next outlet, the user base of the mobile Internet is growing explosively, and the layout here will determine our company's position in the social field, whether to continue to consolidate, develop or exit."

Tengxun's internal executive meeting is underway, and Brother Xiao Ma spoke with a serious expression.

The sense of crisis is always around the heads of these large companies, and the rapid changes of the times have made them very anxious, even if they are already at the top of the ranks, because they are afraid of missing out on the opportunity and losing all the achievements they have made today.

The portal was so powerful back then, and it was finally replaced by search engines, and the most popular thing to be whipped by the bigwigs is the decline of Yahoo and the rise of Google.

Xu Chenghua, who attended the meeting, took out a document and said: "The name 'WeChat' has been preemptively registered. ”

Brother Pony immediately looked at him: "Registered? ”

Xu Chenghua nodded and said affirmatively: "And it's Bluestar Technology." ”

One of the executives at the meeting was stunned and said, "No, it's such a coincidence?" Could it be that the news has leaked? ”

Xu Chenghua shook his head: "No, because the registration time is earlier than our internal discussion." ”

An executive said: "That's a coincidence, it's really fast, it's for sure, Bluestar Technology has begun to quietly make new layouts again, and the response speed is much faster than ours, will it be creating new social products?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and it was obvious that this was very possible, and it was even highly consistent with Teng Xun's upcoming strategy.

This is not good news.

Teng Xun has long been aware of the crisis, Brother Xiao Ma has asked Zhang Xiaolong and others to secretly develop a product, and it is carried out by multiple teams at the same time, whoever comes up with a solution first will go online on which team, and this product is a social product based on the main mobile Internet.

"It's preemptively registered, so I can only change it to a new one, so it's called 'micro chat'." Little Brother Ma, who was silent, suddenly clapped his hand and said.

As a result, a new social product under Tengxun was decided.

And it is obvious that Bluestar Technology, which is not afraid of a strong competitor, almost benchmarks "WeChat" by name.

The executive meeting was quickly over, setting out the company's new strategy.

In the era of the strong, Bluestar Technology is by far the super overlord in the social field, and it is the number one player in this field to expand to the world, and its advantages are self-evident.

And there are also technical advantages, Tengxun's "micro chat" will be launched at the end of the year at the earliest, and Xiaomi's "Mi Chat" is similar, but Bluestar Technology's "WeChat" can be launched during the first half of the year.

With a huge user base and a launch almost half a year earlier than the competition, this is already a very good lead.

Not to mention Luo Sheng's foresight, this is the biggest disadvantage of competitors.

The field of instant messaging is about to enter a new round of melee, who can stand out in the era of mobile Internet, with the current situation can only say that there are opportunities, and this time the main battlefield is no longer the PC Internet, but the mobile Internet.

……

On Wednesday, Peter Winnicke, the head of the Dutch technology company Esmore A**L, landed at Shencheng International Airport, checked into the hotel and rested for the night to reverse the jet lag, and the next day went to Sioux City to meet Luo Sheng.

The next day, in the Science and Technology Complex Building, Peter Wernick came here to meet Luo Sheng.

On the morning of the same day, the meeting between the two sides was held in the large living room, Qin Weimu was present, and Liu Yixuan, who was in charge of Xiongxin Electronics, was also present.

"Mr. Winnick, it was negotiated in November last year, the contract has been initialed, and the 45nm-level lithography machine equipment will be delivered to Xiongxin Electronics in January this year, which has been delayed until February, what does it mean?" Luo Sheng got straight to the point and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Peter Winnick hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm really sorry Mr. Luo, this is also the purpose of my trip, I said in my speech about the A**L annual results announcement that I want to deliver 45 nanometer lithography equipment, but the Dutch authorities are currently withholding the license for the export of lithography equipment to China, which happened under pressure from the Americans, and the North American authorities claim that this is a strategic product." At the same time, Americans are worried about competition from China and that deliveries could lead to technology theft. ”

By implication, this is not my pot.

"Don't come to this set, the previous negotiation has been very clear, through the F patent swap, if you regret it, then I also want to say sorry, I can only take back all the patented technology of Fi." Luo Sheng glanced at the other party lightly and added: "Semiconductor chips can't bypass Moore's Law, and the patent system only exists in theory, but I can copy the lithography machine." ”

When he heard the last sentence, Peter Winnick smiled and said confidently: "No, no, Mr. Luo, I can clearly point out that high-end lithography equipment can never be copied, if I guess correctly, your country has tried to copy lithography machines, but so far it has not been successful." You can try to duplicate the parts and then assemble them, however, the machine won't work without the guidance of our system engineers and software experts. ”

Peter Winnick looked a little proud, and he was very happy to explain why he was not afraid at all, and said:

"Mr. Luo, we are system integrators, and we bring together the technology of hundreds of companies to serve our customers. A lithography machine consists of 80,000 parts, many of which are very complex. In the case of ZEISS, for example, we produce lenses, various mirrors and other optical components, and no other company in the world can imitate them. In addition, our machines are fully equipped with sensors, and as soon as an anomaly is detected, an alarm goes off at headquarters. ”

Speaking of this, Peter Winnick became more and more inflated: "Maybe you have good rules, but you can never do this kind of operation in secret, you have to involve a lot of experts, and if they succeed, they will bring a lot of chips to the market that cannot be traced back to the source and finally come to light." We have been constantly following the dynamics of the market for a long time, and we are of course familiar with the intellectual property laws of each country to which our products are exported. ”

Luo Sheng immediately said: "You seem to have forgotten one thing, Mr. Weinick, the future manufacturing industry is an era of overcapacity, and whoever has consumption potential will have bargaining power." And the place where you are standing now is the world's largest chip consumer market, at the level of 100 billion US dollars, which has accounted for more than 50% of the global chip consumer market, and will further increase in the future. ”

Wernick's smile was lost, but he was quickly relieved, and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, you can rest assured that A**L treats customers all over the world equally, but according to the Wassenaar Agreement, A**L needs to obtain an export license from the Dutch authorities to export high-end lithography machines to China." ”

The implication is that we A**L actually want to sell, but we can't help ourselves.

However, Wicknick's attitude suddenly became euphemistic, and he didn't dare to say it too much, a very key reason is that the person in front of him is called Luo Sheng, the most representative technology giant in China and even in the world today, and his technology company has created a lot of world-leading technologies.

For example, Star-Cloud, the world's leading player in the field of cloud computing, and the construction of Fi patent barriers was even more unexpected by people in the semiconductor industry, which caught SIA off guard.

In fact, until now, semiconductor companies in Europe and the United States, including Intel, have been able to develop their own Fi-related technologies, but if they ignore patent laws, the impact on intellectual property rights is incalculable.

Intellectual property is the rule of the game formulated by Europeans and Americans, and it is the biggest beneficiary, and it will never be harmed, and the resistance is unimaginable.

At the end, Luo Sheng exerted extremely strong reverse pressure: "Mr. Winnick, I don't care about the reason why your factory caught fire, or the reason why the Dutch authorities did not have permission, I don't care, I only care that if the delivery is not made before the end of the first quarter of this year, then I will definitely take back my patent, and at the same time develop my own lithography machine, at most three years, you can try it." ”
