"Are these patents belonging to that Android company?" Jobs said deeply. For Android companies, Jobs only learned recently.

Although Android had been established a few years ago, because he has never applied for a patent related to smartphones, and has not been promoted to the outside world, Jobs has not cared about such a company at all.

Although the person in charge of Android has repeatedly gave speeches on some occasions, and during the period, many ideas about smartphones have been revealed, but Apple has never cared about it. After all, in Silicon Valley, smartphones are actually not a very unique concept. In fact

Young companies have proposed the idea of ​​such an intelligent mobile phone.

However, it is entirely two concepts to put forward ideas and do it really, because it is full of doubts about the business prospects of smartphones, so almost no companies will invest in smartphones.

Just die, don't care.

Apple only needs to control his work.

But in the end, I never expected that this Android company actually made a big news and applied for thousands of smartphones related to patents in one breath. Some of them directly blocked Apple's way. After all, reasonable and money -saving solution

There is often only one plan. Apple and Android will think of it together. It is also very normal.

And now, Android is really blocking the road of Apple's research and development, making Apple difficult.

"Sir, at present, we have a total of 39 patents have been registered by Android companies. These are patents that we cannot go in a low cost in a short time!" The secretary whispered.

"Android ... I remember this Android should be the Yellow Crane industry!" Jobs knocked on the desktop "We have a good cooperation relationship with Jiangnan Group. We Apple is also the first batch of buyers of Jiangnan servers.

You go to contact Jiangnan Group to see if they are willing to sell these patents to us! "

"Sir, our people have contacted Jiangnan Group, but Jiangnan Group told us that these patents are from Android companies. We suggest that we go to negotiate with Android instead of negotiating with them!" The secretary shook his head.

"This is the skin!" Jobs sighed. Jiangnan Group is not a fool. It is impossible to see the value of these patents and the future of smartphones. Jiangnan Group is obviously intended to enter the game in the future.

Opportunities to sell these patents to themselves.

"But, in fact, after our investigation, we found that the application of these patents is frozen!" The secretary went on to say.

"Frozen state? What does this mean?" Jobs asked immediately.

"It was decided by the patent committee. They said that before Andy Rubin, these patents could not be determined as the patent of Android, so the applications for these patents would be frozen until the court was against Andy Lulu.

Bin made a verdict, confirmed that Andy Rubin was guilty, and completely judged the patent ownership right to Android company! "

"How can there be such a outrageous thing!" Jobs stunned, although Andy Rubin was indeed arrested, and it was not pronounced. However, the question is that since the patent is Andy Rubin, he is the chairman of Android’s chairman of Android.

During the period, the patent itself must not be doubt that it belongs to the Android company. The patent committee frozen the patent application for this reason.

There are no gender, and such people can even go directly and out of the women's toilet. It doesn't make sense.

Well, Jobs is not clear. It is naturally the means of our Goldman Sachs Group. After all, as long as the patent is frozen, the news of their patent in advance will be frozen, and Jiangnan Group cannot find that their patent has been given by Goldman Sachs company to the company’s company

Apply in advance.

But this is the best news that Jobs hear.

Jobs rubbed his temples, looked at the documents in the hand, and then turned his eyes and squinted, "If it is not judged, it means that these patents cannot determine the right to belong. Even if we use these patents

No one can prosecute us and stop us from using these patents! Is this that? "

"Let me consult!" The secretary immediately said, and then went to communicate with Apple's legal consultant for several hours, and came back to report "Yes, according to our legal adviser, as long as the court has not been sentenced,

Then it cannot determine the ownership of the patent. Before the ownership right is determined, the patent will not take effect, and the patent cannot be used between the patent cannot take effect, and it will not constitute infringement. So we can actually use these patents at present!

"

"But once the court sentences, and then the patent committee starts to confirm patent, then we will not use these patents anymore!" The secretary reported the conclusion.

Although this conclusion is less than hundreds of words, it is the conclusion that he discussed with the lawyer for a few hours and found a lot of related legal literature.

"If the mobile phone produced during the patent is not effective, can it be sold normally?" Jobs asked.

"Yes, as long as we can prove the specific production date of those mobile phones to the court, we can avoid legal risks!" Secretary said.

"Well, then this is easy!" Steve Jobs finally smiled. "You order the production department not to care about these damn patents, I want them to take out the design fixed draft within a week. In addition, the production and procurement department

It must be done within one month to get all parts production and procurement, and the most critical product assembly problem! "

"I ask for three months to see the first iPhone mobile phone from the production line, and then produce more than 300,000 iPhone mobile phones at the end of this year, so that it can basically meet market demand, even if these patents in the future have any patents in the future

After the belonging, then we are not a patent infringement! "

"Also, the technical department starts to take care of all costs and costs now, finding a way to bypass all this patent blocking, so that our second -generation products no longer need to consider these patents!" Jobs said.

"Sir, there will be a problem in it!" After hesitating for a while, the secretary said, "We must reach an agreement with the Jiangnan Group, otherwise your order will be difficult to achieve!"

"What's the matter in Jiangnan Group?" Jobs asked with a headache.

"In terms of production, you know. Our company has never had its own production line. All products are founded by other companies. At present, 69%of our parts are the Huaxia International controlled by Jiangnan Group.

Enterprises owned by the Electronic Technology Industry Development Alliance are responsible for supply! "

"This is also the supply of parts in PC. If we need a more refined product mobile phone, then we may have 80%of the parts, all have to give it to the Huaxia International Electronic Technology Industry Development Alliance to produce. In this way, Jiangnan Group's

The attitude becomes very important. If Jiangnan Group knows that we are producing crazy while we are in the gap of their patent effect, I am afraid that Jiangnan Group will block us in this regard, so that our production speed can not reach the planning speed of production.

! ""

"He does not even need to reject us directly. As long as he uses his influence and order some companies to delay delivery or delay production progress, then we can make us unbearable."

"Is this Jiangnan Group that has done such a point? I just held our throat directly!" Jobs himself was stunned.

Jobs himself only cares about product design. For the actual production of the product, Jobs has always been managed. These are directly handed over to the professionals below to take responsibility. After all, Jobs's main energy should be placed on those genius product design.

, Not put on those waste of time.

This has caused Jobs to not pay too much attention to its own supply chain, let alone Jobs has been relieved in the past six months, and has almost separated from company management. It is only regulating the company’s most important development direction. At present, a lot of recovery has gradually recovered.

The handling of daily affairs, he has no time to see the data of his own supply chain.

After all, Apple’s entire supply chain has always been very smooth, and since the Huaxia International Electronic Technology Industry Development Alliance, after taking over most of the supply chain supply, Apple’s supply chain has rarely occurred.

It is much taller, which makes Apple very peace of mind, and I have never considered the problem of accidents in the supply chain.

Until now, Jobs only knew that in the same way, Jiangnan Group had already held his own neck ... No, it almost hugged the neck of the entire electronics industry. After all, if a company controlled the entire industry 80%

The supply chain, then this company is basically invincible.

"There is no better way for this time, so you can order as much as possible, and make the inventory!" After Jobs silently, he said that he could only do such a method that is not a way.

But this feeling still makes Jobs uncomfortable. As a qualified entrepreneur, his intuition tells him that the situation that the entire supply chain is held by the opponent is very bad, otherwise the opponent will use the supply chain to toss himself,

It is almost devastating on Apple.

He must avoid this situation. Of course, this is not a problem that Apple needs to consider at present. It is to make the iPhone go public as soon as possible to become the world's first smartphone.

It is just that Apple does not know. In a city hundreds of kilometers away, several people are also considering smart phones, but they are called pt.

"Sir, our latest news, Jobs has ordered to directly ignore the patent restrictions. Taking advantage of the patent effectiveness, the iPhone is the world's first PT" secretary also reported to an old man.
