Chapter 186 Formal Talks

The bus took the people from Apple and Wang Heng to a five-star hotel in Shenzhen. It happened to be night, so everyone had to rest first.

The next day, Huawei’s boss did not start negotiations. Instead, he took people from Apple to visit Huawei’s headquarters.

It has been transformed into a 2,400-acre campus of the headquarters, covering an area of ​​1.6 square kilometers, with more than 100,000 staff working here.

At this time, Apple was not even one-tenth the size of the company. After visiting the company, it was obvious that the entire Apple company was shocked. Even Joe was speechless.

Obviously, this operation gave people at Apple a disincentive.

As soon as the negotiations began, Apple's people were at a disadvantage.

"Mr. Qiao, the Huiwei mobile phone is designed first and then developed. If the design patent is given to Apple at this time, where will the research and development of Huiwei mobile phone go? Who will bear this part of the loss?"

"We are willing to pay royalties in accordance with international patents."

"How much is the patent fee? I have invested 30 billion in the research and development of mobile phones. Tell me how many years it will take to recover the patent fee?"

"If it is rejected, Apple will continue to produce smartphones and apply to the International Patent Office for a compulsory patent license."

Apple was ready to cheat, but he was not afraid when he turned into the boss and said domineeringly,

"Mr. Qiao, just give it a try. Huawei has been investing in mobile phones for 10 years and has thousands of mobile phone technology patents. In addition, Motorola is still a partner of Huawei. As long as Apple dares to infringe, Huawei will never tolerate it and will sue Apple globally.

The company, if it can sell just one Apple phone, it will be considered incompetent."

The person in charge of Apple was a little embarrassed after hearing what Hua Wei said. The Apple 1st generation was actually just an assembly machine.

There are countless mobile phone patents that Wang Heng thought were not available to Apple currently. The most important patents of Apple back then were actually design patents and operating patents, and these two are now in Wang Heng’s hands.

Since then, so many of Apple’s patents have been gathered through subsequent acquisitions, cooperation, upgrades, etc., so this is also the reason why Apple did not dare to vigorously promote the Apple 1 generation.

Huawei started cooperating with Motorola as early as 2000, and Huawei is one of Motorola's important OEM suppliers.

The mobile phone department was established in 1996. At that time, the bet was on GSM technology, which was also the most mainstream communication technology at the time.

In 1997, Huawei launched a gsm phone and cleared all the procedures in 1998 to sell it legally, but the results were not very satisfactory.

It invested 1.6 billion, but gained little in the Chinese market, and was forced to turn overseas.

Later, Hua Wei bet on 3G WCDMA and invested more than 4 billion. The product was produced in 2001. However, due to the delay in issuing 3G licenses in China, Hua Wei's mobile phone department suffered serious losses and had no choice but to become a parts supplier for Motorola mobile phones.

,

In addition, Huawei also missed the opportunity for the explosion of the PHS market.

Because CEO Hua Shi made three wrong bets on the development of the mobile phone department,

So after 2003, Huawei's management was determined to correct the misjudgment of the CEO.

What's more important is the "betrayal" of Li Yinan, the boss's successor.

In 2003, Li Yinan resigned and started a new business. He poached a large number of people from Huawei's R&D department, launched similar products to Huawei, and competed with Huawei for business, causing Huawei to suffer a heavy setback.

At the same time, Huawei was sued by Cisco, claiming that Huawei had infringed on at least five Cisco patents in routing protocols.

At this time, it was the IT financial crisis, which turned into a very difficult life due to internal and external troubles, and then turned into a situation where the boss was so angry that he slapped the table and announced that he would no longer make mobile phones.

It also plans to sell the entire mobile phone division to Motorola, and the price has been negotiated. Motorola will acquire the wireless business for US$7.5 billion.

Then due to changes in the top management of Motorola, the deal was canceled, and then it became a parts supplier.

It was not until Wang Heng met with Huawei's boss that Huawei restarted the research and development of the mobile phone department.

In Wang Heng's previous life, in 2010, after Motorola went bankrupt, he sued Huawei, saying that Huawei's technology had stolen Motorola's trade secrets. This was the first time Motorola had taken action against Huawei.

In 2011, Huawei also announced that it would sue Motorola for intellectual property infringement.

So before that, my relationship with Motorola phones was pretty good.

And Weiwei still has quite a lot of mobile phone technology patents, at least much more than Apple.

Of course, since it is a large international company, business secrets will naturally not be shared with Wang Heng.

As a result, he had no idea that Apple was just a clown in the eyes of CEO Hua Wei.

A company that has just entered the mobile phone industry and does not have any patents actually dares to go to Dahua to come to bbb. The kind reception is already considered as the boss to give Apple face.

You dare to tell him in front of him that Apple is going to force it regardless of patents. You really think he has turned into a vegetarian.

When he was in legal battle with Cisco Global, Apple was a company with a market value of several billion dollars and was about to go bankrupt.

In the past two years, I have gotten up and started to float!

A group of people at Apple turned into quails after being taught a lesson by the boss.

Wang Heng, who was watching from the side, was stunned. Apple will be the world's largest company by market capitalization in the future!

Now that he is being lectured by the boss, he dare not express his anger. It is really an eye-opener for him.

In fact, Wang Heng didn't know how much advantage he got from cooperating with Huawei. Basically, he made money from the mobile phone technology patents, and became a graduate student of Huawei.

It is well-known throughout the country. No matter whether it is patent support, technical support, or personnel support, we will spare no effort.

Just because the future era of smartphones described by Wang Heng was so real that Mr. Huawei had no choice but to believe it.

In addition, CEO Hua Wei has made three wrong bets on the concept of mobile phone development. This time he is incompetent and does not want to make a mistake, nor does he dare to make a mistake.

In the world that Wang Heng said, people can no longer live without smartphones. The boss was in a cold sweat after hearing this. He did not envy the smartphone era, but feared it.

How terrifying it would be if China did not occupy a place in the smart era. Many of China’s secrets would be completely transparent to the eyes of the West.

China fell behind the West in the industrial age, fell behind again in the Internet age, and also fell behind in the mobile age.

This time he saw the possibility of overtaking in corners, so in the intelligent age, no matter how incompetent he is, he wants to win and must win, even if the bet turns into...

When CEO Hua Weisheng received people from Apple, he was actually just giving Wang Heng face, because Wang Heng told CEO Hua Wei the importance of Apple,

It is not polite to become a boss because of the importance of smartphones.

The so-called Apple 1st generation has already been obtained, and it only takes a few months to perfectly copy it. Mobile phone technology, mobile phone appearance, intelligent operation, all patents are still indispensable.

The only difference he has now is time. As long as he blocks the time for Apple to go public, the world's first smartphone will become...

In addition, Hua Wei will not imitate Apple and sell mobile phones secretly after they are released.

Huawei will hold the most grand product launch conference to announce to the world that Huawei has kicked off and the world has entered the era of smartphones.

ps:

Happy Dragon Boat Festival to all the bosses!
