Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu suspiciously, is there something good he can do to take advantage of me? Why does it sound like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken
But listen to it, it seems that Feng Yu didn't really cheat him.
"Just tell me what you have to say, do you still want me to beg you?"
Feng Yu sighed. After all, catching up with someone is not a business.
"Our Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are currently producing cheap feature phones, right? They have never thought about producing smart phones?"
"They produce smartphones? I heard that there is this idea, but the technology is not up to it. And doesn't your company not authorize these technologies?"
Feng Yu originally asked the company to license some mobile phone technologies to domestic manufacturers, but he said that smartphones would definitely not work. What's going on now? Are you asking for authorization
Some time ago, I heard that competition among smartphones was fierce, but didn’t Fengyu Mobile win in the end
"Of course we cannot license the smartphone technology of Fengyu Mobile to them, but can't they develop it themselves? I remember you said that there are many top engineers among those mobile phone manufacturers."
"Develop it yourself? You said it's easy. Let me ask you, how long did it take you to make this smartphone? And how long have you been doing it?"
"I heard that the last time a domestic manufacturer made a smartphone, it was sued by Fengyu Electronics for patent infringement as soon as it was put on the market, right?"
Feng Yu smiled awkwardly. He really knew about this, but the other party had indeed infringed the patent.
"It's legal for our company to do this, right? We can't say that our company spent so much money and ended up opening all technologies to others, right? You also know that if the technology is not protected, then many of our good products in China will Technology is going to be taken advantage of by foreign countries again, wasn’t that the case in the beginning?”
In the past few years, China has developed some of the world's most advanced technologies, but it did not understand patent protection. As a result, many foreign companies secretly learned it, then applied for patents, and then sued Chinese companies for infringement.
Although Chinese companies were still producing at that time and did not care about this, it made it impossible for the products to be sold overseas. As China integrates with international standards, some international laws must also be abided by. As a result, companies that develop technologies have to pay patent licensing fees to those who steal the technology!
Just take this VCD technology, if Feng Yu hadn't bought it first and quickly applied for a patent, I'm afraid it would have been like in the previous life, with island companies taking advantage of the loopholes and making away with all the profits.
Although VCD has long been discontinued, and even ordinary DVDs are no longer produced, high-definition DVDs and portable DVDs are still on sale at this time.
What's more, this technology has been transformed into optical drive technology. At this time, just selling optical drives and patent licensing can bring back how much profit every year.
Seeing that Zhang Ruiqiang seemed puzzled, Feng Yu continued: "Lao Zhang, although we can't license the best technology to them, we can license them some basic technologies. Not to mention software and so on, Lian Xiang Yinshan’s HOS system can be authorized for their use at any time.”
"This is like building cars, engines and other core technologies. We certainly cannot authorize them, but it is still possible to tell them some principles of engines and let them make changes and produce their own engines. Of course, this principle There is also a fee.”
Zhang Ruiqiang is still confused: "What does this have to do with your smartphone? You mean, you want to tell them how to make the hardware of this phone?"
"It's almost the same meaning, but there are some differences. I recently invested in a company. I just called and said that the major shareholder is Kirilenko from Russia. You have also seen it. This company mainly makes microprocessors. , they are the best in the world in terms of microprocessor R&D and design."
"My company has some shares in it, doesn't it? According to the contract, we can use the company's patented technology for a fee. Listen clearly, we also have to pay for it. But we can also license it to other companies for a fee, and this price is enough It’s a little lower.”
"You mean, if you buy the right to use the patent, you can continue to license it?" In this case, Feng Yu shouldn't want these companies to help Fengyu Electronics and others bear the patent fees, right
"Why not? Our company is also a shareholder after all."
ARM has various patent licensing methods, and different companies have different licensing fees for the same technology. Some can be sublicensed to other companies, such as these shareholder companies, while others absolutely cannot.
But even if it is authorized by shareholder companies, there are certain restrictions. Otherwise, if these shareholder companies have earned away the authorization fees, what else will the company earn
"Then you license it to domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Not only do you not have to pay patent fees, but you can also make money, right?" Zhang Ruiqiang sneered.
Feng Yu rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking about? If this is possible, then the patent holding company must not get angry. We can only authorize a few companies, and there are also restrictions on the output of these companies. If this limit is exceeded , then the licensing fee will be paid to the patent holding company.”
"I want to license the patent to them for research first. After it is really successful, I will purchase the patent license from the head office and produce my own mobile phone core."
Hearing what Feng Yu said, Zhang Ruiqiang felt embarrassed. It seemed that the domestic mobile phone manufacturers had indeed taken advantage.
"By the way, this company's microprocessor technology can also be licensed to other home appliance companies. Aren't many home appliance companies in our country researching smart home appliances? Using their technology will definitely make their products better."
Zhang Ruiqiang has heard people mention the concept of smart home appliances, but he doesn't know how smart they are. Anyway, he just knows that it seems to be some kind of micro computer added to the home appliances.
"Is this company's technology really as good as you say?"
Feng Yu pointed to his nose and asked: "Have you ever seen those bad companies that I have invested in? If Kirilenko hadn't negotiated this company first, I would have planned to be the major shareholder. It's a pity. I didn’t think about it.”
Zhang Ruiqiang was a little curious: "What didn't you remember?"
"Well, I mean someone in the company mentioned this company to me. I didn't expect this company to have such potential at that time." Feng Yu quickly made an excuse and almost revealed his biggest secret.
"Well, then let me say hello to those companies and ask them to contact your company. If this company is not as good as you say, your brand will be ruined."
Feng Yuxin said, how is it possible? After ten years of development in the previous life, ARM not only was not surpassed by other competitors, but trampled all other competitors to death. Even Intel could only avoid its edge.
With Feng Yu and Kirilenko joining us again in this life, how could it possibly fail? Even the architecture technology from five years ago is the most advanced now!
