Chapter 211 Tens of billions of patents are given away for free? Germination stirs up a frenzy of public opinion again!
After the press conference.
Gu Mingzhang immediately apologized to Zhang Shuo, looking guilty: "Mr. Zhang, I messed up and didn't think carefully. I didn't expect these media to be so arrogant."
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have held any media signing ceremony if I killed him.
"fine!"
Zhang Shuo is very generous, because he is very aware of the urinary nature of these Western media.
Sooner or later we have to deal with it.
In any case, through this grand press conference, Moya appeared in front of the global media for the first time. Regardless of whether the impression is good or bad, at least it has taken the first step.
After today, Germination is destined to no longer be unknown.
And Zhang Shuo.
With this soft yet strong appearance, he will also enter the vision of global business giants.
I really can't keep a low profile anymore.
…………
Zhang Shuo did not stay in Finland for long and was preparing to return to China the next day. Before he returned to China, the relevant news had spread back to China, setting off a storm of public opinion on the Internet.
"Although I didn't understand it, I was shocked!"
"This is the largest contract in the country, right? That's awesome!"
"What is the concept of US$1.5 billion? Can anyone explain it?"
"Uncle Wang next door: Not much, just a hundred small goals."
"Yoo yo, it's Versailles upstairs!"
"Doesn't anyone pay attention to what a patent license is and why it is so expensive?"
Some people also raised doubts.
"To put it simply, it is patent licensing. All mobile phone manufacturers have to pay it. Even Apple has to pay Nokia a patent licensing fee of 100 to 200 million yuan every year."
"Holy crap, is Nokia so awesome?"
"You are so awesome. After all, you are a big boss in the mobile phone industry. What do you think?"
"Counterfeit phone: What is patent authorization? He said he had never heard of it!"
"Haha, otherwise how can I say that the copycat phone is just a bull?"
"Upstairs, this is not a very glorious thing, is it? The situation is too small."
"But why?"
Some people don’t understand, “Why should Nokia just sit back and make money? This is so unfair!”
"Nokia has invested hundreds of billions of R&D funds in order to produce these patented technologies. If domestic companies are willing to invest so much in R&D, they will not say that they want to buy them."
"All right."
In fact, there are also some in China, such as Warwick, which will also charge licensing fees after accumulating the patent pool.
This is international practice.
If Maili Technology wants to truly obtain a complete set of technologies in the mobile phone field, in addition to obtaining authorization from Nokia, it will also involve some companies in the United States, Japan, and Korea, but the proportion is not large.
Patent disputes in the electronic information industry chain are far more complex than outsiders imagine.
Infringement incidents also occur from time to time.
As early as October 2009, Nokia sued Apple, claiming that the latter's flagship iPhone infringed on 10 of its patents, involving GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and wireless LAN standards, covering
Wireless data, voice coding, security and encryption technologies.
The litigation battle between the two parties continued for several years.
Basically, Apple loses.
There is also between Apple and Samsung, between Samsung and Nokia, between Apple and Ericsson, etc.
They really fall in love and kill each other.
"I, an employee of Xiaomi, would like to briefly explain that what I purchased is a ten-year non-exclusive patent license, which costs an average of US$150 million per year. It is a normal quote in the industry and is not expensive."
"So, did Xiaomi buy it?"
"Uh, no, Xiaomi pays once a year. There is no need to pay the ten-year patent licensing fee in one lump sum. I doubt there is any PY deal between Moya and Nokia."
This is indeed true.
Zhang Shuo himself attaches great importance to the time value of funds, especially in the early stages of starting a business. If this 10 billion is used for investment, conservative estimates will increase it a hundred times in the next ten years.
The reason why he was willing to invest tens of billions of dollars in one go was of course because he also received other returns from Nokia.
First one.
The resignation of Gu Mingzhang and his team was forgiven by Nokia and all non-compete agreements were terminated.
Just this one.
This laid the talent foundation for the rise of Maili Technology.
Secondly, Maili Technology has also signed a formal talent exchange agreement with Nokia. Every year, Maili Technology can send at least two hundred engineers and developers to Nokia for exchange and study.
It is also easy to digest and absorb the patented technology obtained from Nokia.
Furthermore, because it is a one-time payment over ten years, Maili Technology has also obtained a commitment from Nokia to license the patented technology once and twice.
This is also a VIP treatment that other companies cannot enjoy.
Without this, Zhang Shuo's dream of reshaping China's mobile phone industry chain and upgrading the industry chain would not be realized, and naturally there would be a price to pay.
There are many other miscellaneous cooperation terms to ensure the interests of Suiya. For example, Suiya has the right to permanently renew the Nokia mobile phone patent license.
Make sure you don't get stuck with Nokia in the future.
If Nokia wants to obtain such a large amount of funds in a short period of time, it will naturally have to make concessions. This is why Gu Mingzhang has been negotiating with Nokia for so long.
Not paddling.
The discussion on the Internet continues, gradually moving closer to gossip.
"Doesn't anyone care about whether or not Sprout can spend US$1.5 billion? This is a huge amount of money. If I remember correctly, Sprout has only been established for a year."
"The people upstairs are just being careless. Nokia is not stupid. If we weren't convinced that Suiya had the ability to fulfill the contract, how could we sign a contract with Suiya? Do we really think that Nokia is doing charity?"
"Then the question is, why is Meiya making so much money?"
"Haha, if Mo Ya can be so arrogant today, every player here is responsible."
"The truth is revealed upstairs!"
"In that case, isn't Gu Ya the next Teng Da? Is there any difference?"
"Tengda: I feel humiliated!"
"Grudge: It's me who doesn't deserve it!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There is still a difference. Sprout's games are original and deserve to make money."
"That's right, can it be the same?"
I have to say that Sprout's reputation online is really good.
"Another point is that unlike Tenda, which has been focusing on ICQ from beginning to end, Moya is obviously more pioneering. If nothing else, it at least dares to spend money to enter the mobile phone industry. Does Tenda dare?"
“Tengda: Why stand when you can make money lying down?”
Gradually, online public opinion became distorted and began to turn against Tengda.
This wave.
Tengda was indeed shot innocently.
But no matter what, this operation of Mo Ya really made everyone show off. The result was that as soon as Zhang Shuo and his entourage got off the plane, they were blocked by reporters from various media.
The flashlight is so bright that it blinds people's eyes.
Seeing this fight, other passengers at the airport became curious. After asking about it, they knew that Zhang Yazhang had returned to China, and they all came forward to watch the fun.
Hold your phone high!
When encountering such a lively event, of course the first thing to do is post it on WeChat Moments.
When Li Feng saw this, he immediately stopped in front of Zhang Shuo and spread his arms. Other sprout employees also spontaneously formed a circle to protect Zhang Shuo to avoid any accidents.
"Mr. Zhang, can you introduce the details of this transaction in detail?"
"Have you set any goals when entering the mobile phone industry?"
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that Gu Mingzhang has switched jobs from Nokia to join Sprout. Is this true?"
"Mr. Ya's expenditure of tens of billions of funds this time will have an impact on the capital chain? Can you introduce the assets and liabilities of Ming Ya?"
"Mr. Zhang, are you considering raising funds in Sprout? I heard that many venture capital investors are very interested in Sprout."
"There are crazy rumors outside that all the tens of billions of funds in the budding capital come from game revenue. Is this true?"
"Mr. Zhang, it is said that the patents that sprouts obtained from Nokia can be relicensed. Will sprouts contribute the patents to benefit the domestic mobile phone industry?"
…
Question after question was thrown out, like a machine gun.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Shuo to give all the answers, not to mention that there are some people with ulterior motives in these questions, who may not necessarily have any good intentions towards Su Ya.
Who knows who received the money.
But Zhang Shuo couldn't say nothing, as that would offend all the media present. Even with his confidence, he couldn't do such a crazy thing.
When you should bow your head, you have to bow your head.
Just like what Lao Wang said, it is normal to feel a little aggrieved when doing business, or even to wear small shoes. If you can bear it, bear with it.
If you really can't bear it, then just stop doing it.
"This is an airport. In order not to affect public order, I will just say a few words."
Zhang Shuo opened his mouth.
The noisy scene finally calmed down temporarily.
"First of all, regarding the details of the cooperation between Suiya and Nokia, a special press conference will be held at the Suiya Building later, and a detailed explanation will be given at that time."
Zhang Shuo also knew that it would be impossible to do such a big thing without giving a centralized explanation.
After hearing this, some reporters had already started booking flights.
"Here, I would like to simply respond. The complete set of mobile phone patented technologies that Moya obtained from Nokia can indeed be relicensed, but there are strict restrictions. Moya is willing to share this interview with all colleagues who are interested in entering the smartphone industry.
The results of Nokia's cooperation are intended to promote the upgrading of the industrial chain. Specific action details need to be discussed with the officials of Binya City before being announced."
"Wow!!!!"
The reporters present immediately became excited. Those with a keen sense of smell have realized that with the budding action, the domestic smartphone industry may usher in a rare opportunity.
Even disruptive changes.
"Mr. Zhang, when you talk about sharing, is it free or does it require conditions?"
"Are the sharing objects for Binhai City enterprises or all enterprises?"
"Mr. Zhang, what you are saying is that this budding transaction is supported by Binhai City. Can you understand it that way?" Some reporters did not give up and wanted to continue to get to the bottom of it.
"I have no comment at the moment. Everything will be subject to the press conference."
Finished.
Zhang Shuo did not stay any longer and hurriedly left the airport under the escort of Li Feng and others.
