Sure enough, as Wu Hao and others guessed, the vice president of Fruit came here to solve the problem quickly. Now everyone knows that Haoyu Technology developed the wireless remote charging technology and holds all the patents. Now Fruit takes
With the emergence of this technology, some people can’t help but wonder whether this technology has been stolen from Haoyu Technology.
What's more, some of their technologies infringed on Haoyu Technology's related technology patents. So in the face of Haoyu Technology's strong reaction, Guoguo quickly carried out crisis public relations, and on the other hand, it quickly sent people to Anxi to communicate with Haoyu Technology.
Wu Hao and the others negotiated urgently, hoping to resolve this matter quickly and not affect the launch of their new products.
What makes the vice president of Guoguo even more angry is that Haoyu Technology seems to be deliberately delaying the time. They did not decisively reject the peace talks, but they showed that they were not so active and seemed to be close and distant.
And women seem to be more patient than men. Tong Juan's performance made the vice president angry but helpless. In the end, he had to ask to see Zhang Jun and Wu Hao by name.
Tong Juan's answer was also very direct, saying that their manager Wu was busy with a project in the laboratory and had no time. As for Mr. Zhang, his schedule has been full recently and he has no time to see him at the moment.
Moreover, Tong Juan also told him righteously that she was the person in charge of this negotiation designated by Wu Hao, and she was the vice president of the company. She had the same status as him and was fully capable of taking charge of this negotiation.
To put it bluntly, he told the vice president that his status was too low to meet Wu Hao and Zhang Jun.
Faced with Wu Hao and Zhang Jun's avoidance, the vice president had no choice but to continue talking to Tong Juan. The task given to him by the Fruit Headquarters was very clear, which was to settle the company in the shortest possible time.
Resolving this incident will not affect the official launch of their company's products.
So the vice president also directly offered a buyout price of 30 million US dollars for the technology patent.
In response, Tong Juan shook her head. Thirty million U.S. dollars would be more than enough to buy the right to use a box of patented technology.
But it's different now. Now the fruit infringes the rights first, which means Wu Hao and the others have caught the infringement. It's impossible to settle the matter with this little money.
Overseas, infringement cases involving such large companies usually result in huge compensation, ranging from hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.
So this price is just a trial price given by the other party. Of course, Wu Hao and the others don't care about the money.
Seeing that Tong Juan refused simply, the vice president did not feel angry and continued to increase the price.
They even came up with a plan. Previously, Wu Hao and the others signed a service sharing agreement with Guoguo regarding the use of smart voice assistants on Guoguo mobile phones, which was the one that Zhang Jun negotiated and signed.
This agreement earns Fruits hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every year. Fruits now wants to use this agreement in exchange for Wu Hao's permanent license to use this technology patent.
So generous?
Wu Hao and the others shook their heads when they heard this. Now, with the promotion and popularization of more advanced smart AR glasses, smart voice assistants are already a thing of the past. Sales have also dropped significantly. The user base has also begun to gradually shrink, and the revenue will naturally increase.
Come less and less.
Now Guoguo wants to exchange this outdated share-sharing agreement for a new technology with huge development prospects. How could Wu Hao and the others agree to this?
Facing Wu Hao and the others, the vice president was angry and began to increase the amount, 50 million, 80 million, 100 million!
There was a lot of pressure at the Fruit Headquarters, so the vice president wanted to finalize the matter in the shortest possible time.
I still don’t agree. This time it’s not Tong Juan, but Zhang Jun who takes action in person. His attitude is very firm, that is, he doesn’t agree. If he wants to license the technology patent, it will cost him one billion U.S. dollars, and nothing less will do.
One billion US dollars, this is a sky-high price. Naturally, the vice president would not agree, because this was far beyond the bottom line of the fruit.
Zhang Jun naturally knew that the fruit would not agree to the price, so he shouted such a sky-high price. To put it bluntly, he didn't agree, but he couldn't be so straightforward. He had to give the other party a little hope.
It means that the money given is too little and I am not satisfied. But everyone knows that this price cannot be paid. According to the Chinese people's bargaining habits, this price can still be negotiated.
The vice president, who was well versed in this matter, immediately began to bargain. But Tong Juan and Zhang Jun were very determined, even if it was one billion US dollars, there would be no need for a penny less.
As a result, the negotiations were proceeding slowly, and the vice president was forced to fly back to the United States to report the status of the negotiations to Fruit's shareholders.
On the other side, Wu Hao and the others did not sit still and waited for death, and launched various targeted actions immediately.
Faced with the fruit public relations crisis, Wu Hao and the others did not show weakness and hired a well-known European public relations company to respond in a targeted manner.
It is worth mentioning that this public relations company and the public relations company hired by Fruit are enemies and have had many conflicts in the past, the most famous of which was the dispute between Keke and Pepsi.
Therefore, the public relations company hired by Wu Hao and the others showed great interest in this old rival and gave them a very favorable price.
In their words, there is nothing happier than causing trouble for their old rivals.
After the intervention of this public relations company, their overseas public opinion began to improve immediately. Wu Hao and the others took care of the matter themselves, so this also allowed the public opinion to be reversed in a short period of time.
We must know that the Western world itself is discriminatory against us. To be able to change the views of Western people in such a short period of time, it must be said that this public relations company has strong targeting capabilities.
Secondly, at the suggestion of this public relations company, Wu Hao and the others officially announced the launch of relevant evidence collection work in many countries in accordance with relevant laws.
This invisibly turned into pressure on the vice president, so after hurriedly reporting his work, he immediately returned to Anxi and continued to negotiate with Tong Juan.
This time it was even more straightforward, doubling the original price of 100 million U.S. dollars to 200 million U.S. dollars. This is definitely a sky-high price.
However, this was obviously not what Wu Hao and the others wanted, so they decisively refused.
And according to relevant sources, the price of 200 million US dollars was also exposed through the media, which suddenly caused a sensation.
And it was confirmed once again that the fruit had indeed infringed on the technical patent, otherwise it would not have been possible to give such a sky-high price so readily.
This also forced Fruit executives to stand up and admit for the first time that the wireless remote charging technology in their products may have patent infringement, and they are currently negotiating with Haoyu Technology.
This explanation really slapped in the face the group of idiot fans in China who besieged and insulted Wu Hao and his fruit.
