939Moat

"Don't be tired. Pay more attention to rest. Continue walking every morning and evening, but not for too long, especially for dogs. Pay more attention to Qingfan and Miaomiao..."

Li Wanyi has been pregnant for more than two months, but she didn't have much reaction. She eats well, sleeps well, and is in a good mood. She should be a relatively lucky person. However, Wang Shuhua is still worried, and before leaving,

Various precautions were also repeated.

"I know~"

Li Wanyi was not impatient. She seemed to enjoy this feeling. She agreed sweetly and said: "Dad, mom, and grandparents, you should pay more attention to your health at home."

"good."

Wang Shuhua agreed with a smile, paused, and then said: "If you have time, call your mother more often."

"Um."

Li Wanyi continued to nod obediently.

"let's go."

Brothers Wei Peng and Wei Sheng drove a group of juniors to the station, waved goodbye, and watched them walk into the station with their suitcases. They stood there and looked at them in despair before getting on the bus and going home.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you~"

The county town is a small station, but it is very "complete" with a special VIP passage. A few people went there and waited, and then got on the bus early. Wei Qinghuan recruited Wei Qingchan to be beaten, and ran over to find Li Wanyi to protect him.

"Can I run away?"

Wei Qingchan was not in a hurry. He dragged his suitcase and walked over calmly. The journey was very short. After getting in the car, he quickly found the compartment.

Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi were sitting together, Wei Qingchan, Wei Qinghuan and Li Wanyun were on the other side. Wei Qinghuan was afraid that the elder sister would hit him, so he deliberately pushed Li Wanyun in the middle and sat close to the aisle.

Convenient to escape at any time.

"Stop looking, you are not allowed to run."

Seeing Li Wanyi looking over there in amusement, Wei Qingfan reminded him with a smile, "Among the major rules my mother gave me, strenuous exercise is not allowed."

Li Wanyi rolled her eyes at him, leaned over, leaned her head on his shoulder, looked at him with her charming eyes, and whispered: "Husband~"

"Um?"

Wei Qingfan gave her a questioning look.

Li Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay~"

Wei Qingfan smiled, took one of her palms, put it in his own and stroked it gently, and whispered: "Are you sure you want to go with me?"

"go."

Li Wanyi looked up at him, her charming eyes sparkling, "Auntie asked me to go, why don't I go?"

"..."

Wei Qingfan looked down at her and said with a smile: "When you call me aunt, I always feel like calling you my mother."

"Not anymore."

Li Wanyi pinched him lightly, and then heard a grunt beside her. She turned around and saw Wei Qinghuan, Li Wanyun, and Wei Qingchan all sticking their heads out, looking at the show of affection with disgusting and teasing expressions.

Two people.

Li Wanyi rolled her eyes, not trying to avoid suspicion at all. There was no need to avoid suspicion anyway. She still leaned on Wei Qingfan's shoulder and put on an arrogant posture of "He is my husband and I am his wife. What's wrong?"

Wei Qingfan also looked over and ignored him, saying: "Then we will go there together later, but we are pressed for time, so we have to leave as soon as possible."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid."

The train clanked forward on the plain and arrived at the provincial capital. The branch here sent two cars to pick them up. Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi went to Li Miaoyu's house, while Wei Qingchan and the others went directly to the airport.

When Li Wanyi came to visit her for the first time, she would not just bring eggs. On the way, she went to the mall to buy some gifts and carried them together.

Wei Qingfan told Li Shuqing and Zhao Yaquan in advance that Li Shuqing was not at home and Zhao Yaquan was alone.

When they arrived at the place, the car was waiting at the door. The two entered the yard and rang the doorbell. An aunt came to open the door. When the two went in, Zhao Yaquan went downstairs wearing home clothes and said with a smile: "Are you here?"

"Hello, aunt~"

Li Wanyi stood up and bowed slightly to say hello. Wei Qingfan also smiled and said, "Are you busy?"

"Sit, sit."

Zhao Yaquan motioned for them to sit down and said with a smile: "I'm not busy, just take some time to write."

She saw a box with obviously different gift wrapping placed in the living room, and smiled strangely: "What is this?"

"egg."

Wei Qingfan explained, "My grandma asked me to bring home-raised chickens, which are more nutritious."

"Then you still take it?"

Zhao Yaquan said a little funny, "Leave it for the elderly. Isn't Wanyi pregnant? I have a place to get it here, don't worry."

Wei Qingfan said: "I still have a bunch of chickens at home."

Li Wanyi also smiled and said: "We took it too."

Zhao Yaquan sat down to boil water and make tea, looked at Li Wanyi, and asked with a smile: "Are you feeling well?"

Li Wanyi knew what she was asking, and felt a little embarrassed. She nodded and said, "It's pretty good. There's no reaction at all."

"That's good. When I was pregnant with Miaomiao, I vomited all day long and couldn't eat anything. Later I wanted to eat rolled cold skin, with more vinegar. I ate cold skin three times a day and two..."

Zhao Yaquan talked about interesting things in the past, and also gave some precautions. Li Wanyi agreed one by one. They looked like elders and juniors who had been together for a long time and had a harmonious relationship. If outsiders saw it and learned the truth, they would probably put their jaws on the floor.

They all hit the ground.

"Why don't you rest for two more days?"

After chatting with Li Wanyi for a while, Zhao Yaquan offered more tea and asked Wei Qingfan, "Is the company very busy?"

"It's not too busy. The main thing is that the stall suddenly expanded."

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Lingxi is preparing to file a lawsuit with the three major operators, and there are also patent matters to discuss with Qualcomm..."

Zhao Yaquan wondered: "Isn't it because we chose Qualcomm that we can avoid patent issues?"

"There are considerations in this regard. Qualcomm has a patent protection umbrella. This is also the reason for the trouble."

Qualcomm's "patent protection umbrella" mainly covers baseband, but it also covers other aspects, and it has a very overbearing clause:

As long as you use Qualcomm's processor, you will license your relevant patents to Qualcomm by default, and other manufacturers that use Qualcomm's processors can directly use your patents!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Through this overbearing clause, Qualcomm’s patent protection umbrella is rapidly growing and becoming thicker. This is very beneficial to manufacturers that are unwilling to invest in research and development, and can also greatly reduce costs.

The barrier to entry for smartphones.

However, this is very detrimental to manufacturers who are willing to invest in research and development.

Because if you invest heavily in research and development, as long as you use Qualcomm's processor, other manufacturers can use it for free.

In later generations, Huawei used Qualcomm processors and achieved "seamless folding" through the "water drop hinge" on its folding screen. Other mobile phone manufacturers, even if they were making folding screens for the first time, could directly make seamless folding.

Folding screen, the root cause is here.

——Samsung has made several generations of folding screens, but it has yet to achieve seamless folding!

Forced by Qualcomm's terms, Yu Chengdong could only make crazy hints at the press conference. First, at the P50 Pocket press conference, he said, "Any company that closes the folding screen without gaps must have used Huawei's patents." Then later, Mate X3

At the press conference, he complained, "This is Huawei's exclusive patented technology, and it has been used by our domestic colleagues for free, and they do not pay patent fees..."

The root cause is here, because Huawei uses Qualcomm processors, then the patent on your phone belongs to everyone. As long as others buy Qualcomm processors, they can use it for free. Even if Meizu wants to make a folding screen, it only needs to be processed by Qualcomm.

It can also be used directly in one step to make a folding screen mobile phone without gaps.

If it weren't for being suppressed by Qualcomm's terms, how could other companies be so unscrupulous, and how could Huawei be so easy to talk to?

When Gushici Company started, it needed Qualcomm’s patent umbrella, and of course it still needs it now, but Wei Qingfan doesn’t want Gushici Company’s patents to be used directly by peers.

He is having people talk to the company and wants to get the patent for the "waist round key" back.

Android phones now have various operating methods, including in-screen virtual keys, three diamond keys, Samsung's long physical keys... Meizu's small dots are coming soon, and it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming.

However, when fingerprint recognition begins to become popular, physical buttons will quickly become mainstream. In its original history, Huawei initially insisted on fingerprint recognition on the back, but in the later stages, it can also transform to front-facing physical buttons. As for other manufacturers such as Mi OV, early

Let’s start with front-facing fingerprint recognition.

In 15 years' time, until full-screen displays become popular, "waist-round buttons" will appear almost everywhere on the street.

There is no way around this, because there are not many shapes to choose from. Apple has occupied the round buttons, and Samsung has occupied the long strip buttons. Then the remaining ones are ovals and squares. The square ones are too ugly, so the ellipse becomes

Most preferred.

The shape of the buttons is not protected by patents. The main concern of other manufacturers in this regard is the fear of being scolded. Apple and Samsung are both international manufacturers. If they copy it, they will be scolded too much. Are domestic friends... Anyway, everyone is domestically produced.

Manufacturer, the worst I can do is change the curvature a little bit. Is that enough to give you face?

It is impossible and unreasonable to completely eliminate this kind of plagiarism. If you have designed a straight path, you cannot allow others to design a straight path, right?

The only way to prevent others from copying the "waist round key" is to increase your own recognition and influence. If you can really compete with Apple and Samsung, I can't say that no one will dare to copy it, at least not the big manufacturers who want to face it.

Will copy it.

The face here is not the face of the person in charge, but the brand image. Plagiarism is a shortcut, saving money, trouble and insurance, but it has a huge impact on the brand image. For example, the famous Xiaomi 8 can be said to have directly interrupted

Xiaomi wants to hit the high-end backbone.

If you want to prevent other companies from copying the round waist button, you can only rely on improving brand influence. There is no other way. However, the patent for the "ruyi gesture" derived from Meizu's "m-Back" can be withdrawn.

In the original history, this was the patent that blocked other domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Meizu's set of interactions is so easy to use, but Meizu would rather die than surrender. Without Qualcomm's processor, other manufacturers can't use it.

Therefore, several HMOV manufacturers can only show their talents and develop various weird interaction methods on this elliptical button. Huawei, for example, is simply the most rubbish one, even worse than many copycat mobile phones.

Nowadays, everyone is still exploring the development direction of smartphones. There is a blank in the field of fingerprint recognition. The "waist round key" has not been taken seriously. Fingerprint recognition will be launched next year. Therefore, Wei Qingfan wants to take this patent from "sharing" as soon as possible.

Get it off the list.

This matter has been discussed for a long time. Qualcomm obviously didn't care about this patent, but it refused to give in and kept delaying it. Later, it was discovered that Gushici Company was secretly developing processors, and it became even more dissatisfied.

In layman's terms, it's: "It's your attitude that matters now!"

Wei Qingfan was very aggrieved, but he had no choice but to hold it in as he had to use someone else's processor. When he went back this time, he was going to have a good talk with Qualcomm.

Even if we increase procurement and replace all low-end processors with Qualcomm, we still have to take this patent off the sharing list.

This was one of the "moats" of the ancient poetry company for three to four years after the popularization of fingerprint recognition and before the popularization of full-screen displays. It was something that no one had and I had, and I must keep it if I could.

The high-endization of a brand is not about stacking parameters, fighting against hardware, or even not caring about hardware parameters. The "moat" is the focus of high-endization. If no one has it, I have it. If you want a certain function, you can only buy your product, even if it is other products.

No matter how bad it is, I can only tolerate it.

Such as apple.

The importance of the "waist round key" cannot be compared with Apple's IOS, software and hardware integration and other advantages. They are not at the same level in terms of difficulty and function. But if you want to climb up from scratch, you have to accumulate little by little.

Family wealth, and work hard to protect it.
