"Is the verdict going to be official?"

Cao Yang had prepared for the worst before.

Now that he received a call from Xiang Wei, he was not so emotional.

New competition has begun, and Nanshan Group is not an enterprise that cannot survive if it is stuck by someone.

So even if the previously uncertain news is heading in the worst direction, it's not a big deal.

Even to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a complete decision for Cao Yang not to have illusions.

"Yes, the U.S. side will sentence us to infringe Qualcomm's patents and pay $1.5 billion in royalties and fines."

"If we can't pay within a month, then we will ban the sale of Honor phones in the United States."

Xiang Wei's tone was a little low.

Although Cao Yang is mentally prepared, as the head of the legal department, it is difficult for her to accept this result.

Patent infringement is often a matter of you and me, and I have you, and everyone has some patents that are difficult for the other party to avoid.

This kind of lawsuit is often a protracted lawsuit, and finally the two parties adopt a compromise solution to solve it.

But now the verdict in the United States has been so fast.

Although Nanshan Group still has the opportunity to continue to appeal, the final result is obviously not optimistic.

"They're thinking a lot, $1.5 billion."

"Huh!"

"First we stole billions of dollars through NVIDIA, and now we want to pay $1.5 billion through a patent lawsuit."

"You don't have to worry about them, just go back to your home."

"We won't pay this money."

Cao Yang did not regard the American market as his focus before.

Whether it is the automobile industry or the mobile phone industry, the United States has actually given up to a certain extent in preparation for future conflicts between the two sides.

Now that the conflict has come early, the Nanshan Group actually doesn't need to worry very much.

Because the main interests of the Nanshan Group are not in the United States, there is currently no too critical equipment to be imported from the United States.

In particular, chips, which have been the bottleneck in China for many years, have basically been solved by Nanshan Group.

Although some models have not been completed due to time problems, there are no major technical problems.

In terms of chip equipment, whether it is a lithography machine or an etching machine, the problem has been solved.

Other inconspicuous non-critical equipment or components will not have much impact.

Even the United States needs to find out the information of the equipment that Nanshan Group is still importing, and it will take a long time to make it possible.

To a certain extent, if non-critical equipment is restricted to Huaxia, it is actually the interests of the other party that are harmed.

This is forcing Chinese companies to buy from China or develop these technologies themselves.

"Mr. Cao, if we withdraw it like this, then Honor mobile phones will really have nothing to do with the American market in the future."

Xiang Wei felt that it was still necessary to emphasize the impact of this matter.

Lest you regret it later, the cost will be higher.

However, this time Cao Yang obviously thought very clearly, and said directly: "Whether it is the products of Honor mobile phones or the chips of Nanshan Semiconductor, they are all produced by local enterprises in the United States." ”

"Even if the other party doesn't restrict us today, they will use all kinds of means to make us unable to survive in the American market."

In particular, the more influential these industries are in the world, the more intense their reaction will be. ’

"With this effort, it is better to go to the European market and the Dongying market to grab the market."

"Relatively speaking, these places will not easily use such drastic measures against us."

"Even we have more means to deal with some of these markets."

Cao Yang said so, and Xiang Wei naturally stopped being entangled.

After all, a lawsuit is actually very expensive.

Especially in the American market, litigation is simply a lot of money.

Soon, the news reported to Wei and Cao Yang officially became a fact.

The United States officially announced the results of the Qualcomm patent infringement case of Honor mobile phones.

Obviously, Honor Mobile lost this lawsuit.

……

"Mr. Xu, I feel that the case of Gao Zhi's Honor mobile phone sends a very bad signal."

"The same thing can happen to us."

The Honor mobile phone was notified by Gao, and then lost the lawsuit, which soon spread.

As Warwick, which has a relatively large market in the world, it is naturally aware of the crisis at this time.

Honor mobile phones can lose lawsuits, so when it is the turn of Huawei mobile phones, it is more likely to lose.

"Qualcomm's appearance is indeed a bit ugly, but they have a lot of patents in the field of 3G and 4G, and it is difficult to completely circumvent them."

"Even some of their patents are very rogue, but you don't have much to do."

"However, we also have a lot of patents in related fields, although they can't avoid Qualcomm's patents, but they want to avoid our patents, and it is also difficult."

Xu Jun wasn't particularly worried.

After all, Warwick's accumulation over the years has not been done in vain.

Qualcomm wants to press Warwick's head down, and it's obviously not that simple.

"That's right, the telecommunications industry has developed to the present, and it is impossible for any one company to monopolize all the patents in a certain field."

"However, in 3G and 4G, Qualcomm still has the most patents."

"I feel the need to do some preventive patent applications so that Qualcomm will not be able to easily disgust us in the future."

For Lian Zhitian's proposal, Xu Jun naturally would not object.

The bottom line of doing business in the United States, you never know where it is.

As long as interests are involved, people can do everything.

Over the years, Huawei has been exploring overseas markets and has encountered various things.

"This time, Honor mobile phones have suffered a lot of losses, and I don't know what response plan they will take."

"The most troublesome thing is that even if you pay $1.5 billion normally, there is no way to avoid being targeted by Qualcomm or other companies in the future."

Xu Jun actually understands the dilemma that Honor mobile phones are facing now.

It can be said that going left or right is not a solution, and it is very troublesome.

"The United States will make a move on Honor Mobile, mainly because Honor Mobile and Nanshan Semiconductor have threatened their core interests."

"They don't have the confidence to defeat Honor Mobile and Nanshan Semiconductor through normal means, so they can only resort to all kinds of tricks."

"However, from this point of view, it can be regarded as a side proof that Nanshan Semiconductor's technology is really good, and their 28nm process process should be mature soon."

"In the future, we in Huaxia will no longer have to worry about being stuck in the neck."

Lian Zhitian has been engaged in semiconductors for so many years, and he is very familiar with the domestic situation in this regard.

Even if the whole country supported the development of SMIC before, it only solved part of the production problems of low-end chips.

There is still a huge gap between the overall strength level and the international level.

"Yes, in the future, whether it is our mobile phone or other equipment, we don't have to worry about chip supply."

"This is of extraordinary significance to the whole of China."

"That's why the ministry will introduce an export audit policy for germanium and gallium-related materials, which is actually a statement of support for Nanshan Semiconductor."

This announcement issued by Huaxia, and now everyone has tasted the meaning behind it.

Although Nanshan Group is only a private enterprise, its status in Huaxia is higher than that of many central enterprises.

The advanced technology that has been mastered in the hands of others is not comparable to ordinary enterprises.

"Honor mobile phones are now being further persecuted by the United States, and I don't know if there will be further support measures in China."

"This time, I hope that the ministry can be a little tougher and directly beat down the arrogance of the United States."

"Otherwise, maybe people will repeat their old tricks in the future, and I don't know which company will be unlucky."

The protection of its own enterprises has always been very strong on the part of the United States.

If there is any problem, it is the official who comes forward at every turn.

Relatively speaking, Huaxia is more cautious in this regard.

In this regard, even Zhitian also has a lot of complaints.

In the past, many Chinese companies were bullied outside, but no one stood up to help.

In this situation, he naturally didn't want it to be like this all the time.

"Let's let the bullets fly for a while, I guess whether it is the Nanshan Group or the ministry, they will definitely not sit still."

"Although Nanshan Group is not short of $1.5 billion, I don't think Mr. Cao will easily agree to this money."

"If you start this, then if you really have to pay Qualcomm 5% of the patent fee for every Honor mobile phone in the future, it would be too exaggerated."

"After all, there are many parts on the mobile phone that have nothing to do with Qualcomm, and the final price has nothing to do with Qualcomm."

"As a result, when the patent fee is paid, it is to be paid according to the sales price of the mobile phone, which is simply a hooligan."

Xu Jun is not used to Qualcomm's appearance.

Although you have invested a lot of manpower in the research and development of new technologies, you are not like a "patent troll" lying on the mobile phone manufacturer to suck blood.

However, there are some things that he doesn't want to do.

……

"Mr. Li, the United States is still tough enough, and when Huaxia restricts the export of two rare metals, he dares to directly pronounce the judgment that Honor Mobile Phone loses the lawsuit."

"I'm going to do it against Huaxia."

Chai Hang is in a very good mood now.

What Samsung pushed behind the scenes, is now back on track.

As long as the United States and Huaxia have a direct confrontation over the matter of Honor mobile phones and Nanshan Semiconductor, then Samsung can become a fisherman who "competes with each other and profites from fishermen".

This is very beneficial to Samsung's future development in China.

"The headquarters has agreed to build a large-scale chip factory in Huaxia, and the official rumors will begin to be released in the next two days."

"That way, we don't have to worry about how this incident will affect us."

"The more aggressive the American companies fight with the Nanshan Group and Huaxia, the better it will be for us."

Lee Jae-rim is also smiling now.

In his opinion, what the United States is doing is to force the Nanshan Group to bow its head and force Huaxia to bow its head.

It's a very representative thing.

Once Nanshan Group bows its head, then it is not only the chip companies in the United States that will enjoy the benefits, but Samsung can also share the dividends.

"Nanshan Group has been able to develop to its current scale in just over ten years, and Cao Yang must be very proud and proud."

"And the more proud he is, the harder it is to ride a tiger now."

"The amount of $1.5 billion, he can't pay it, and he doesn't pay it."

"And I think that no matter how Nanshan Group chooses, there must be a backhand waiting for it on the American side."

Chai Hang imagined what he would do if he was Cao Yang.

No matter how you think about it, it seems that the end result is not very good.

"During this time, there was a lot of public opinion on the Internet that was not very favorable to both the United States and Korea."

"You arrange for someone to guide you and ask everyone to turn their guns on the companies in the United States."

"Whether it's Qualcomm or Apple, as long as the Chinese people are full of anger at these American companies, we Samsung will be able to make a profit in the end."

Cao Yang can see that the future mobile phone market will be a competition between Samsung, Apple and Honor, and Li Zailin can naturally see it.

In this case, he naturally hopes that the competition between Apple mobile phones and Honor mobile phones in the market will be as fierce as possible.

When the time comes, they can seize the market in a low-key manner and sit in the first position in the industry.

When the time comes, Apple mobile phones and Honor mobile phones will decide the winner, but they find that the market has been snatched away by Samsung.

That scene must have been interesting.

"I'm already arranging, in fact, we don't move anything, and the Nanshan Group is not idle."

"Whether it's on Weibo or on other websites, there's a lot of negative news about American companies."

"But what's interesting is that many well-known people on the Chinese Internet are actually speaking for Americans."

"There are actually quite a few people like this."

"Because of the collision between two groups of people on the Internet, related topics have been very hot in the past few days."

"If we add a little bit of fire to the back, we can make things move more quickly."

As the deputy director of Samsung's Huaxia sales department, Chai Hang naturally pays attention to the actions on the Internet.

All the current developments are very beneficial to Samsung.

……

However, Samsung is happy, and Apple Huaxia is depressed.

Lin Rong felt that what she was worried about was moving towards the worst situation.

However, she was soft-spoken, and there was no way to influence the thoughts of the headquarters.

"Mr. Wang, in the past week, our mobile phone and computer sales have dropped by two percent compared with last month."

"I don't see any change in this trend anytime soon."

"Now the United States directly requires Honor mobile phones to pay high patent royalties and fines, otherwise they will officially ban the sale of Honor mobile phones."

"I think it's a bit out of control if it goes on like this, it's actually very bad for us."

Lin Rong previously discussed with Wang Ziming the pros and cons of banning the sale of Honor mobile phones in the United States.

She and Wang Ziming have basically reached a consensus.

Even Wang Ziming reported to the headquarters specifically for this matter, but there was no result.

"As soon as the news came out, I went to the headquarters to inquire around."

"Although the current case is Qualcomm suing Honor Mobile Phone, it has a relationship with Apple, Intel, Deyi and other companies."

"It can be said that this time it is the high-tech companies of the United States that are working together against the Nanshan Group."

"The Honor mobile phone is just one of the entry points, and there will be more actions in the next step."

As soon as Wang Ziming said this, Lin Rong's face suddenly fell.

More action?

How does this make her sell iPhones and computers?

If the performance is not good, the bonus will be useless at that time.

"Mr. Wang, is the threat of Nanshan Group really that big? Need so many companies in the United States to work together to deal with them? ”

Although Lin Rong also knows that Nanshan Group has a great influence in China, she also knows that Nanshan Group is different from ordinary Chinese enterprises.

But seeing that so many well-known companies in the United States have joined forces to deal with Nanshan Group, she still feels that it is a bit of a fuss.

However, Wang Ziming is a little different from her point of view this time.

"The semiconductor industry is one of the most core industries in the United States, and no country is allowed to threaten them."

"At the beginning, Dongying's semiconductor enterprises developed very rapidly, and after threatening the interests of the United States, they were immediately cleaned up by various means."

"Now Nanshan Group has quickly broken the international blockade in semiconductor equipment and chip production, and it is very unexpected to break through the technology of the 28nm process."

"This has already touched the bottom line of the United States, so it is inevitable to be targeted."

When Wang Ziming said this, Lin Rong couldn't help but ask: "But Samsung and TSMC are also developing well now, Infineon on the German side is also very good, and other companies such as STMicroelectronics are not American companies." ”

Regarding Lin Rong's question, Wang Ziming gave the answer without any hesitation.

"Samsung Electronics, you look like a Korean company, but in fact, it's essentially a company with a lot of money on Wall Street."

"There are a lot of Wall Street interests involved behind this, and TSMC's situation is actually similar."

"The most important thing is that the development of both Samsung and TSMC has been allowed by the United States."

"It can be said that the United States can stop production whenever it wants Samsung and TSMC to stop."

"For example, TSMC's biggest business is to help chip companies in the United States OEM chips, which is not the top existence in this industry."

"As for the Infineon and STMicroelectronics you mentioned, the situation is actually a bit similar."

"If you look at how many military bases the United States has in Germany, you don't think that the development of Infineon will pose any threat to Wall Street."

"As long as people want to, they can teach companies like Infineon and STMicroelectronics how to behave in minutes."

"But Nanshan Group is different, this is a company that doesn't listen to greetings at all."

"Not even to say hello, the purpose of people's existence is to break the monopoly of the United States in the chip industry, and they are the ones who break the rules."

"So being suppressed and targeted is inevitable."

"Even if there is no Honor mobile phone, as long as Nanshan Semiconductor continues to develop, it will continue to be targeted."

After listening to Wang Ziming's explanation, Lin Rong opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Because she knew that what Wang Ziming said was very reasonable, and she had nothing to justify.

But the more this happens, the more worried she is about Apple's situation in China.

Because the Honor mobile phone was targeted by the United States, the most publicized thing on the Chinese Internet is that the Apple mobile phone is doing things behind the scenes.

There have even been people who have launched a campaign on the Internet to resist iPhones and computers.

All of these will have a direct impact on Apple's sales.

As if to confirm Lin Rong's worries, the day after Honor Mobile defeated the lawsuit, Huaxia's case against Honor Mobile against Apple Mobile Phone for infringement was suddenly deliberated.

Originally, many people thought that this kind of appearance patent infringement case was not so easy to achieve results.

At the beginning, many car companies sued Huaxia's own brands for infringement of appearance, and even if they won the lawsuit, it was a matter of a long time.

But this sudden court session gave everyone a very different result.

[Apple's iPhone4 and iPhone4S infringe the patent of Honor mobile phones, the evidence is conclusive, the sales will be stopped from now on, and the losses related to Honor mobile phones will be compensated by 1.5 billion yuan. 】

The verdict is long, but it sums it up in one sentence.

As soon as this verdict came out, it was immediately on the hot search on Weibo.

"It should have been sentenced a long time ago, as soon as the iPhone4 came out, I felt that it looked almost exactly the same as the HONOR 3G."

"American companies can't do such a disgusting thing, but we haven't punished anyone."

"It's disgusting that even some so-called fruit fans are still defending themselves."

Xia Qingqing came to Cao Yang's office as soon as possible and discussed the next step with Cao Yang on the ban on the sale of Apple mobile phones.

This is one of the most influential judgments in the field of patents in China in recent years.

In particular, the timing of the judgment is so sensitive, and the amount of the fine is so coincidental.

US$1.5 billion VS 1.5 billion RMB.

Although it is not an order of magnitude amount, this figure is also the highest in China's patent disputes.

The United States has just sentenced Honor Mobile to a lawsuit of 1.5 billion US dollars, and Huaxia has sentenced Apple Mobile to a penalty of 1.5 billion yuan.

If there is no connection between these two things, no one will believe it.

But if you ask someone formally, the answer is definitely not relevant.

"Honor mobile phones lost the American market, Apple mobile phones lost the Chinese market, this result, we are not a loss."

"It's just that Samsung picked up a bargain, and it can't be made better."

At this stage, Cao Yang knew that Apple's mobile phone was scrapped in Huaxia.

At least for the next year, it will be scrapped.

In the future, even if the iPhone5 comes out, it has nothing to do with the Honor mobile phone in appearance, and it is not so easy to continue to expand its business in the Chinese market.

At that time, Honor mobile phones can continue to sue Apple mobile phones from other patents.

For example, the setting of the HOME button, such as some patents on the touch screen.

Anyway, you can always find a place to you.

"It's definitely going to deal with Samsung, but banning the sale of Apple mobile phones, I don't know how Apple will react?"

Xia Qingqing obviously felt that this matter would not simply end because of the court's decision.

If things in this world were really that simple, there wouldn't be so many disputes and protracted lawsuits.
