The good news did not come with Cai Siqiang's breakthrough. Instead, bad news came one after another.

As Apple publicly filed a patent infringement lawsuit, the lawsuit quickly fermented, as if it had suddenly discovered the target, and the international giants who held the 4G core patents found that the new Nokia Mobile had lost the wings of Nokia's 4G patents.

For several companies that were a little overwhelmed by the new Nokia Mobile flagship models, such as Samsung, RIM, HTC, LG, suddenly found that there was such a big card in hand, and it was lively.

The next day.

"Mr. Cai, today we received a lawyer's letter from four companies, including Samsung, RIM, HTC, LG, etc., asking us to stop infringing on their 4G patents, and put forward different amounts of compensation claims." Mr. Cai's overseas assistant, Du Chengyi, knocked on the door and came in and took out a bunch of faxes.

When Cai Siqiang heard that he had really stabbed the hornet's nest, his brows were furrowed and he didn't let go, although he had already begun to deploy countermeasures. But I didn't expect the opponent's movements to be so fast, and it seems that this patent war has now finally entered the hand-to-hand combat stage.

"We also received fax letters from Microsoft, interDigital, Qualcomm, and Ericsson, asking us to negotiate licensing fees for 4G patents. If we don't pay the patent licensing fees, they will file a patent infringement lawsuit to claim compensation. Du Chengyi hasn't finished speaking in one breath just now, and now, the owners with 4G core patents have basically surfaced.

"What do you think?" Cai Siqiang had already figured out this matter yesterday, although he was upset when he watched the expected troubles coming one after another, but he was no longer so at a loss. Now Cai Siqiang wants to see if his assistant has a unique vision, skill and ability.

Cai Siqiang has always attached great importance to talents, since entering the production of navigators, SAL has recruited a lot of senior managers for reserve and training, there is no way, the company's scale has expanded too fast, from thousands of people to tens of thousands of people at once.

Not only did the middle-level managers SAL have no time to train and use themselves, but even the senior management SAL could not come up with suitable talents, so whether it was MI China Electronics, Sirius Company in charge of navigation, or the new Nokia Mobile that had just been acquired recently, Cai Siqiang had to accept that the original managers were actually responsible for the operation.

Although Dong Feng, Zhao Jianwu and others also served on the boards of directors of these companies to ensure that the decision-making power would not be left behind, but in terms of actual operation, Cai Siqiang had no one to use for a while. Now he has two assistants by himself, and Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu are also assigned one assistant and two deputy positions respectively, in fact, they are all reserving talents.

Today, I just take this opportunity to see if Du Chengyi, a young talent who has served as a senior executive of a foreign company, has some real material.

"This is a concentrated encirclement of our mobile phone business by competitors." Du Chengyi knew that the boss was examining his vision and ability, and he gave up foreign executives to come here, not only to be Cai Siqiang's assistant all the time, but to hope that he could find an opportunity to be independent in this fast-growing company.

He has been working hard since he joined SAL and has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Now, Boss Cai seems to have some ideas, if he can grasp this opportunity, then he will not be far from the top. Although Du Chengyi knew that even if he answered properly today, he would not be able to rise immediately.

But today is definitely a good opportunity for me to gain the upper hand in the open and secret battle with Cai Siqiang's other assistant, Chen Feng.

"How?" Cai Siqiang asked lightly. It can be seen that it is the encirclement and suppression of competitors, which is basically an entry.

"Our flagship NOne mobile phone has now caused great market pressure on competitors, and it is impossible to effectively attack in technology and market, so competitors have to find another way to interfere with and prevent our development."

Du Chengyi talked eloquently, obviously putting a lot of effort into researching this. It's just that he is not qualified to join Cai Siqiang's core decision-making meeting now, so Du Chengyi has not had a chance to say these views to Cai Siqiang.

Cai Siqiang nodded and motioned for Du Chengyi to continue.

"When we split up our Nokia mobile phone business, we took it for granted that the patents of the two sides should protect each other, but the cruel facts tell us that our idea is too stupid and naïve." Du Chengyi continued. "So it's a shame that the patent flaw that is being exposed now."

"But it's not like we're completely defenseless." Du Chengyi's words changed, and he began to think and intersect about his thoughts during this time.

"As the saying goes, the enemy of our enemies may be our friends," Du Chengyi quoted a proverb to put a footnote on his thinking, "so during this time, I have also been studying various patent litigation cases in history, most of which focus on those companies that hold 4G patents and have something to do with us." ”

Du Chengyi's idea seemed to be a little ethereal, and Cai Siqiang couldn't figure out what he wanted to say for a while.

Fortunately, Du Chengyi didn't fish for the boss's appetite today, and the mystery was immediately revealed.

"Through these various patent infringement lawsuits, I have found that in fact, the world is not completely covered by large companies, and there are many large companies that actually use a lot of patents in the hands of small companies," Du Chengyi continued.

"Boss, our powerful weapon is about to fall into the hands of these small companies now, I wonder if the boss understands my thinking?"

Du Chengyi's idea is really an unusual way of thinking, and Cai Siqiang's eyes lit up when he heard it. It was as if something was about to be caught. It's just that I still don't understand what Du Chengyi wants to do, so that he can use these small companies to deal with these difficult opponents.

"I seem to understand a little," Cai Siqiang replied casually, but he felt that Du Chengyi didn't seem to have said anything crucial, and he only vaguely seemed to understand something, "But I still haven't figured it out, and this is directly related to our current lawsuit." In other words, how can we take advantage of these small companies? ”

But when it comes to this, Cai Siqiang knows that Du Chengyi's kid may have found a new way, so he can't help but feel better.
