Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

After dealing with all kinds of chores in Xiangjiang, Qu Lifei went to Beijin to discuss the reconciliation with Apple. No matter how sincere they are, they must guarantee the interests of Glory and reduce future troubles. It cannot be endless like TSMC suing SMIC.

In addition, they are also discussing the reason for the reconciliation between Apple and Honor. Is it because the limited communication patents have brought huge pressure to Apple, and they are worried about the siege of Samsung and Nokia? glory?

There's no way of knowing what Qiaoboos thought, but Apple's thinking can be guessed.

"They probably wanted to bid for Nortel's patents, but they didn't want to be taken for a ride."

Nortel Networks went bankrupt in 2009. In the past two years, it has been selling various assets, leaving behind core patents. In the era of the explosion of smartphones, these patents are very important. Not only Apple is interested, Microsoft, Google and other companies that intend to make a difference in the smartphone market all want to bid for these patents.

Glory is different. It has obtained the long-term patent authorization from Nortel Networks. Watching them grab food like mad dogs, this is not what Qu Li said, but what the Wall Street media said: Glory's team is a visionary team. It is a miracle that a start-up company has the ability to solve the patent problem.

Domestic Huami OV, except for Huawei, the other three companies initially survived under the protection of Qualcomm's patents. Later, OPPO was the most aggressive in terms of patents, and carried out a large number of acquisitions and patent exchanges.

Qu Li has seen the future now, so he can make an acquisition predictably. There will be no such good things in the future. You can't let Glory acquire Nokia, right? Qu Li suspects that if Nokia really invests in the Android camp, it is likely to replace one of the Huami OVs.

A big drama has already been launched around Nortel Networks' patent bidding. Although Qu Li knew the answer in advance, it was still difficult for Qu Li to intervene in this level of competition. The outcome he most desires is that Google cannot obtain communications patents, including the acquisition of Motorola Mobility.

As long as Google does not have communication patents, it cannot protect the new members of the Android Alliance, so it has to rely on established companies such as Samsung, LG, and Nokia, especially Android King Glory. If this is the case, there is a high probability that Google's GMS service will not be promoted, and the Android app store will also belong to the mobile phone manufacturer.

What does this mean? Apple's AppStore earned $450 billion in 14 years, and earned $125 billion from developers. Google Play's revenue is higher, assuming it is 150 billion US dollars. If Honor takes a fifth of it, it will be 30 billion US dollars, with an average annual net profit of about 2 billion US dollars.

Dreams are good, but reality is cruel. No matter whether Google is prevented or allowed to acquire Nortel Networks patents, it will not help the final result.

Even so, Qu Li still had to buy a double insurance for Glory: "We are preparing for the IPO while contacting Motorola Mobility..."

"Why, Tianming, I still don't understand. Why are you rushing to go public? Now you want to buy Motorola mobile phones?" Lei Jun and others couldn't understand. There is nothing wrong, but the choice of listing timing and large-scale acquisitions should be cautious and cautious, right?

"Do you think a hardware company with a market value of 100 billion US dollars is not high enough?" Qu Li asked back, several financial investment institutions have promised, everyone has signed a gambling agreement, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc. are even willing to underwrite the sale, so I gave them Opportunity to buy shares at a 50% discount.

"That's not true. Wall Street investment banks are not doing charity, so they must be profitable." Lei Jun

"No profit can't afford it, what we want is to make them money. We are not just a Chinese company, but a multinational company established in China. We must have an international mindset. Why did I invite editor-in-chief Peng Xiaoguang to be on stage for my New Year's speech , I just want everyone to pay attention to his article..."

"Contributing interests and sharing risks, this is one of them. Honor has no reason to participate in the bidding for Nortel Networks patents, but can Google and Apple jointly fund the acquisition of Nortel Networks patents?"

"How is this possible?" Lei Jun is not stupid, Android's biggest competitor is IOS, and Google may hope that Apple will be unlucky more than Honor, and then dominate the entire mobile phone operating system market.

"What about Microsoft and Apple?"

"this……"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, whether Apple or Google acquires these patents, what about another company?"

"Your idea is too bold." Lei Jun understood Qu Li's idea. No matter whether he can acquire Motorola or not, he must be the first to do so. Regardless of whether he can acquire it or not, Glory will make money anyway. At least it can weaken the strength of competitors.

"Help a good public relations team, and try not to involve the relationship between the United States and the competition between the two countries."

"I understand." Lei Jun was completely convinced by Qu Li, and Qu Li's various actions were perfectly matched, with the essence of Qi Sheng. Let Glory remain invincible first, and then find fault with the opponent.

"Are we really going to reconcile with Apple?" Lei Jun still didn't want to give up this opportunity. Apple sued Honor for infringing IOS patents at the software level. Even if you slide to unlock, you can't say that if you have it, I can't. no the same. However, communication patents are relatively hard-core, and some basic standard patents cannot be avoided. Honor has been preparing for several years, and it is normal to buy one or two such patents.

A simple understanding is that Apple’s lawsuit against Honor’s patents can be dragged on forever. Not only that, Honor has long had the OTA upgrade function. According to Apple’s lawsuit against HTC’s Gmail code patent infringement in HTC’s mobile phones in history, Honor can overwrite that part of the code through online upgrades. . To put it bluntly, Honor is different from HTC. Although it is not as powerful as Apple in terms of system software and hardware, it is at the same level as Apple, far surpassing Samsung and Nokia at this time.

"Didn't Microsoft ask us for patent fees? You can ask Apple, and we will exchange patents."

"..."

Mr. Lei was speechless. The pattern and vision were immediately opened up. They are all masters in the operating system. Apple's patents can cover part of Microsoft's patents, which can save part of the patent licensing fees.

Several people determined the next coping strategy during the discussion, and then discussed the magic 2 released after the Spring Festival. Last year, the magic 1 sold 1 million units, and then it was out of stock. There is no AMOLED screen. This year, they simply gave up and went directly to the retina. Screen and Gorilla Glass, plus Qinglong No.1 chip and KOS system.

The biggest surprise may be the klun voice assistant that comes with KOS. Before Apple acquired Siri in 2010, this app was on the shelves of AppStore and KunLun Store. After the acquisition, Siri was taken off the shelves of the whole network. However, Glory is already developing similar products. In terms of speech recognition, it cooperates with Nuance abroad, and cooperates with iFLYTEK in China.

Even if Siri and Klun are both artificially retarded, they were able to launch this function in early 2011, thanks to Gu Ge. The cooperation between Jumei and Glory is worth looking forward to.

Qu Li took the engineering machine, shouted "Hi, klun!", and tried to communicate with him or her. It really is an artificial mental retardation. I really shouldn't have too many expectations. The practicality of klun requires more resources, such as Google search, an encyclopedia, WolframAlpha knowledge search, maps, weather, music, phone calls, text messages...
