After seeing off the Google duo, Wang Yaocheng was in a particularly happy mood.
Whether the train runs fast or not depends entirely on the headband.
The luxurious configuration of Google's decision-makers was destined not to deviate very far from the original historical track. He seemed to see the rising Google shining brightly and earning himself as much wealth as gold and silver.
Wang Yaocheng rubbed his hands happily and couldn't help but hum a little tune.
The consortium got rid of the Ministry of Justice's industry monopoly investigation faced by HSBC, just like removing a heavy shackles, and was able to move forward with ease.
As for the antitrust lawsuits initiated by Intel and IBM in 11 states across the United States, this kind of lawsuit is difficult to prove and difficult to investigate. The public is justified and the mother-in-law is justified. There are many wranglings. Wang Yaocheng is not too worried.
Regardless of the outcome of the verdict, the disadvantaged party will definitely appeal.
After that, it will go through complicated legal procedures such as the appeals court and the U.S. Supreme Court, and the result will not be seen in a few years.
Atlantic Business Machines also filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Maimang, stating that the above two companies had infringed on many of the company's new patent rights, and requested the court to order the other party to immediately stop infringement and compensate for huge losses.
This approach is tantamount to tearing apart the harmonious situation among industry giants, igniting wars everywhere, making the other party difficult to cope with.
not to mention
Atlantic Business Machines Company has a big killer weapon and is in an absolutely invincible position.
This big killer comes from the basic patent barriers in the computer field inherited from Wangan Computer Company. Even industry giants like Intel and IBM must use its key patent authorizations.
How important are these basic patents?
In 1975, Wang An Company launched the world's first word processor with editing, typing, printing, and retrieval functions. It could display text directly on the screen and quickly modify documents using the keyboard. This was the prototype of the original personal computer.
This revolutionary word processor liberated office clerks in the United States at that time, and has since become popular all over the world. From Wall Street to factories and mining companies, from banks to supermarkets, even the White House is using Wang An's word processor.
.
There are reports that IBM leader Thomas Watson Jr., who was being treated in the hospital at the time, loudly reprimanded the people around him after reading the news in the newspaper:
"How could this happen! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
After saying that, he was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.
In 1978, Wangan Computer became the largest word processor manufacturer in the world at that time. In the 1980s, Wangan Computer reached its peak, and the personal computers it produced occupied the mainstream market of office equipment.
As a result, Wangan Computer has established many important basic patents in the field of personal computers, established basic rules in the field of personal computers, and is a basic patent in the industry.
All these rights have been inherited by Atlantic Business Machines Company.
The dragon-slaying sword is sacrificed, who can compete with him?
Basic patents include personal computer pulse transmission control devices, computing devices, distributed data processing systems, ideographic typing, data communication systems, high-density dot matrix printers, document scanners, communication terminal management systems, voting algorithms, comprehensive file access and processing
Terminal, graphics and text data buffering system, keyboard with fingers and stylus actuable-actuable keys...
There is a long list of patents, which are all basic patents that industry giants in the field of electronic computers cannot avoid. They are generally allowed to be used through paid authorization, and the authorization contract is usually 6 to 8 years.
Check the relevant patent licensing contracts. Intel's patent licensing ends in July 2006, and IBM's patent licensing ends in December 2006.
This thing is so powerful, if God blocks it, it will kill God, if Buddha blocks it, it will kill Buddha.
By then, the patent pool authorization had expired, and the legal proceedings between Atlantic Business Machines, Intel, and IBM had not yet come to a conclusion, and the three companies were at loggerheads.
As long as Atlantic Business Machines delays the authorization of the basic patent pool, Intel and IBM will face a dilemma.
It’s not that we won’t let you use it, it’s that the company has to go through internal procedures and it takes time.
As for how long it will take?
Haha...it's hard to explain this thing.
If Intel and IBM products continue to be produced, it will be clear patent infringement.
If we don't produce, we will have to shut down all production lines. We can suffocate ourselves to death, and we won't be afraid that they won't give in when the time comes.
Related products include personal desktop computers, notebook computers, LCD TVs, MP3 music players, enterprise servers, mobile phones, and mobile communication terminal equipment including shortwave radio stations and walkie-talkies, covering a wide range of areas.
Therefore, Wang Yaocheng is not worried about these legal proceedings at all.
Regardless of the current commotion, it is estimated that we will see signs of it in the second half of next year. The most likely outcome is that the three industry giants will settle out of court and reach an agreement that is mutually understanding and acceptable.
Hand-to-hand combat at the level of industry giants may seem thrilling and thrilling, but in fact it cannot hurt your true vitality.
At this time
Secretary Director Zhao Feng came into the room, holding a stack of urgent documents in his hand, and asked casually: "Chairman, where do you think the consortium's 2004 second financial quarter summit should be held?"
Wang Yaocheng pondered for a moment and said;
"Oh, let's hold it back to Hong Kong! Just as the consortium's headquarters in Victoria Bay has been completed and put into use, it will be held together with the completion ribbon-cutting ceremony. Senior officials from the Hong Kong government, as well as senior officials from China and the UK will attend. The time is initially scheduled for mid-June.
Late."
"Understood, the secretariat will closely contact the major companies to determine the final and appropriate holding time."
"very good."
After deciding on the consortium summit, Zhao Feng picked up the document in his hand and reported in detail the major matters that needed to be resolved;
"Chairman, since 2002, three consecutive years of drought in Africa have turned into a famine. Half of the 55 countries in Africa have been involved in this serious humanitarian crisis. Famine has occurred in 21 countries, and 120 million people have been seriously affected.
Threat of starvation.
From 1968 to 2002, major drought disasters occurred every year on the African continent, claiming countless lives.
What is worrying is that during this period, many African countries also experienced political turmoil, military rebellions, humanitarian disasters and serious disease infections, including the repeated spread of the alarming Ebola virus.
In Ethiopia, a large number of hungry people flocked to the Bati refugee camp. There were 12,000 people crowded into a tent the size of a football field, and about a hundred people died tragically every day.
In Uganda, there are even tragedies of cannibalism.
In Tanzania, 1,300 children starve to death every day.
In Mozambique, hunger has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and tens of millions of hungry people are still struggling to die.
The once magnificent Great Rift Valley region of East Africa has seen its rivers dry up, leaving thousands of miles of bare land. The formerly lush forests and pastures have withered and turned yellow. The drought is unprecedentedly severe.
Therefore, the United Nations issued an urgent appeal; "Save Africa".
This is a personal letter to you from Mr. Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, strongly calling on the Royal Family Fund to lend a helping hand to rescue the hundreds of millions of people suffering from hunger in Africa."
After speaking, Zhao Feng handed over a light white letter.
Wang Yaocheng reached out to take it and read it carefully, his expression lost in thought.
"Chairman, charitable aid to the African continent can be deducted proportionally from the income tax payable by the enterprise. This is a great thing for consortium enterprises and is conducive to establishing a responsible corporate image." Zhao Fengren said
I couldn't help but give some advice.
"I understand this truth. What we are considering now is whether to establish a global charity organization and engage in long-term global charity and public welfare undertakings. It is not a one-time deal."
"Uh... Zhao Feng is worrying too much."
"It's not your fault."
Wang Yaocheng waved his hand, considered it and said;
"This matter is coordinated by your secretariat. Look at the amount of taxes that HSBC, Atlantic Business Machines, Corning, Apple, Marvel Animation and Google should pay, determine a reasonable donation amount, and donate in installments.
Food and water.
As for the specific name, each enterprise will donate separately, and finally it will be consolidated under the name of the Royal Family Charity Fund for unified management.
The Royal Family Benevolence Charitable Foundation will serve as the global charity organization of the consortium and will be temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the Family Fund Management Office. Specific personnel will be arranged to take charge of specific matters to deal with charitable donations worldwide.
Uh...right.
I remember that there is an instant noodle manufacturer under Swire Trading, and the consortium can also purchase and donate a batch of instant noodles, and leave the transportation to Swire Shipping. If you can use your own, try to use your own."
"I understand, the secretariat will make appropriate arrangements." Zhao Feng nodded and agreed.
"What is the current situation of donations through the United Nations?"
Zhao Feng looked at the information in his hand and said;
"So far, the international community has transferred more than 3.5 million tons of grain to more than a dozen countries suffering from serious droughts, donated more than 3 billion US dollars in property, and also provided a large number of vehicles, medicines, vaccines, clothing, tents and other urgently needed supplies.
Among them, the US government donated 300,000 tons of grain, as well as a large number of other materials.
The Chinese government donated 80,000 tons of food, as well as medicines, vaccines, tents and other supplies, and sent professional medical teams to Africa for disaster relief.
People in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, China and Southeast Asia have all taken action to lend a helping hand and spontaneously launch fundraising operations."
Speaking of this, Zhao Feng sighed deeply;
"Chairman, I read the relevant information about the disaster in Africa, and I feel very uncomfortable. I never thought that in the 21st century, such a human tragedy would still occur. Life is as cheap as grass. Let us help if we can.
, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"
"Of course, the key is how to help. We have to steal the limelight of the international community and surpass a bunch of developed European and American countries that speak better than they sing, and the praises we get will naturally come rolling in."
Wang Yaocheng smiled bitterly and continued; "Things are far from that simple. Public opinion circles and charity organizations will naturally compare us, and in turn put pressure on developed countries in Europe and the United States, asking them to invest more funds and donate more food.
, provide more supplies, make various accusations, petitions, and marches, they will always use us as a target. What do you think the governments of various countries will think of us? Do we still need to do business? Do we still need to do business?
Stop developing. Is this possible without government support?"
