Three projects are still at a loss, and another major project has been launched.
The three projects of the group company are smartphones, wireless equipment and robots. They may seem unrelated, but in fact they are highly related high technologies. However, the materials field is different. It is a completely different industry that no one understands. Zhou Xing’s thoughts.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one objected. First, the Shining Star Group was very wealthy, and 6 billion was enough to squander it for a while. Second, all the shares of the entire group are in the hands of Zhou Xing. He has huge power and the entire group has the same say.
"Mr. Zhou, I have a question that I would like to give feedback on." Not long after Zhou Xing finished speaking, a voice suddenly spoke.
Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the spokesperson. It was Chen Binglin, the chief engineer in charge of the technology patent of the mobile phone project.
"Mr. Chen, what problem do you want to report?" Zhou Xing nodded and asked in confusion.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Yang knows our difficulties in this matter. It is about to start next month, and our task progress may be worse than last month. We have long been able to win the mobile phone patent license, and we can't win it. Patent authorization is a difficult nut to crack, either it costs a huge price, or it is a core patent that others are unwilling to authorize; our group company is a new enterprise, we do not have technology that others value, and there is no channel to exchange for important patents. Next month, our task is probably..." Chen Binglin looked at Zhou Xing with an ugly face and said.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned, this problem was a bit tricky.
A smartphone involves thousands or even tens of thousands of technical patents. First of all, appearance design, the appearance design patent of the mobile phone, such as the position and shape of the handset, the shape of the back, the overall shape, size, software interface style, etc. .
Next, there are patents for mobile phone materials, shell materials, material processes, and process patents for each component of the mobile phone; then, there are patents for the functions of the smartphone, including calls, text messages, games, systems, etc. Mobile phone components: such as battery, CPU, memory, and heat dissipation , wiring... etc. Finally, there is a protocol patent involving the most patents, Bluetooth protocol, Wifi protocol, audio and video decoding protocol, playback protocol... Around a mobile phone, mobile phone giants have laid out a way to break into the mobile phone field. A giant patent network that cannot be opened.
Smartphones are products with the most patented technologies in the field of electronic communications. They are the crystallization of the wisdom of countless scientific and technical personnel in the world. Due to the intensive patents, it is also the field where patent litigation is most frequent in the smart phone field. Zhou Xing does not want the mobile phone he just developed to still be used. Before it was launched on the market, it received patent litigation letters from other mobile phone companies, and its reputation was tarnished, so the remaining patents must be obtained no matter what.
what to do? As Chen Binglin said, other mobile phone patents are okay. If it involves core patents, the other party will not take it easily without spending a high price or exchanging core patents.
In the conference room, you could hear a needle drop, and everyone watched with bated breath as Zhou Xing made a decision.
"Can the patent we need be obtained from Huawei Group?" Zhou Xing remembered something and looked at Chen Binglin and said suddenly.
"Yes, Huawei Group is one of the largest smartphone R&D manufacturers in China. It invents thousands of mobile phone patents every year. We can obtain 95% of related technology patents from it." Chen Binglin nodded and introduced.
"Well, who said we don't have technology patents? Let them see a small portion of the technology patents for the wireless project. I want them to beg to trade with us." Zhou Xing smiled slightly and decided.
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room was stunned. It was Huawei Group, the number one high-tech company in the country, and one of the world's top 500 global companies. Its own company was only established less than two months ago. Enterprise, this... is this possible
"By the way, the order of subject and guest is reversed. Don't just take out the core patents." Zhou Xing looked at the person in charge of the wireless project technology and explained.
"I understand, Chairman, I will go and do it immediately after the meeting." The technical director in charge of the wireless project obeyed Zhou Xingyan with a calm face, and there was nothing wrong with it. Only those who knew the details of the wireless technology in the entire venue felt that It is a matter of course for Huawei Group to bow its head.
"Well, let's move on to the next topic." Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction.
…
It's been three days.
In Shenzhen City, in a small conference room at Huawei Base, the chairman of the board, corporate shareholders, CEO... people who are rarely seen in normal times came to the scene one after another. Eleven of them gathered together and sat around the small conference table, all with solemn expressions. Listening to Lin Tao, the head of the technical department with a red face and excited expression, speaking.
"Everyone, boss, I have to say with regret that if the technical information provided by the other party is true, then I have to admit that the technology in our laboratory is out of date. The technology we have spent countless efforts and energy researching is in the face of these technologies. Vulnerable!" Lin Tao, the general person in charge of the technical department, faced the cannibalistic gazes of all the bosses and ended his speech in a very useless manner.
After saying these words, Lin Tao seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, and all his energy and energy had been drained away.
"Where's the test data? You're just giving up like this without any proof? Don't you know how much money has been invested in this project?" A small shareholder couldn't help but reprimanded.
"These materials lack some core information and cannot be used for technical testing? However, the technical experimental data recorded in it are documented. It cannot be denied! The technology in our laboratory is indeed out of date! Using this technology for transmission, the accuracy and transmission speed are... Transmission range, stability... No matter which aspect, it is several times or dozens of times better than ours; it is right to give up the technology in the laboratory! We have to face reality!" Lin Tao's mouth twitched. Although he was sad, there were some things he couldn't say. Did not say.
After saying these words, Lin Tao was heartbroken and bleeding. He hated the person who sent him this information. He would rather be kept in the dark than have such a clear understanding.
"The transmission capacity of this technology is several times higher than the theoretical peak value of 5G network transmission standards. I support Lin Tao's choice." A shareholder stood up and expressed his position with a heavy heart.
After he finished speaking, the rest of the people chose to remain silent, and the conference room fell into an eerie silence. Everyone's eyes turned to the chairman of the meeting, waiting for his decision.
Everyone focused on the expressionless face of Chairman Hua Wei, as if on the eve of a storm, the entire conference room was eerily silent.
The devices that 5G networks will support in the future are far more than just smartphones, but also involve self-driving cars, the Internet of Things, robotic applications, industrial networks, etc., and are closely related to every field of human life.
For the communications industry, future 5G network transmission technology means the struggle for technical standard dominance and patent rights. All technology giants in the entire industry are actively researching and advancing to compete for the "commanding heights" of industry and technology. It is also the "commanding heights" of Hua Wei The strategic core of the group's future development.
