Seeing that Xiao Qi was very gentle, Wang Hong took out a mobile phone from his briefcase and handed it over: "Master Qi, this is your first visit. We don't have any good gifts for you. Here is an HTC mobile phone.
See how it goes."
Looking at this familiar round and fat model, Xiao Qi couldn't help but smile. As he picked it up, he asked: "Is this what you commonly call the 'Afu Machine'?"
"Oh? Qi Shao even knows this?"
Wang Hong was really surprised this time.
I originally thought that it would be great for a busy man like Xiao Qi to know his wife and HTC, but he didn't expect that he even knew about this model that was only released last month.
And looking at Xiao Qi's skillful pressing of buttons, it looks like he has played it before.
That's right.
Wang Hong's guess was correct. Xiao Qi had indeed played with this "antique phone". It was at the flea electronics market in his previous life. Xiao Qi bought this intuitive touch screen phone and even took it apart to study it.
.
"The phone is a good phone, with good functions and touch screen. If it were released a year ago, it would be very popular; if it was released two years ago, it would be a dominant phone." Xiao Qi put it down with a smile.
On the table, "But now, its vitality is only two or three years at most. It was born at the wrong time!"
"I don't think it's a pity." Cheng Wen suddenly said: "Things that should be eliminated should be swept into history. If you just keep complaining and regretting, you will never have the chance to catch up with the international advanced level."
As expected of a technical talent, he speaks so forcefully.
But I'm afraid it was his mentality that led HTC to produce the world's first smartphone based on the Android system platform!
Samsung also abandoned its own system and switched to the Android camp after constantly running into obstacles.
Even though it was one step ahead, HTC still did not have as much energy as Samsung, so that although they were the leader, they lost to the pursuers who later caught up.
"I think we at HTC have our own unique technology and are ready to participate in the truly open platform - the Android mobile operating system. If we work hard to catch up, we may not necessarily lose to Apple and Samsung." Wang Hong also said seriously, "Although
Qishao, you are more familiar with them and have more cooperation with them. But as long as you give us HTC a chance, then we will give you more things in return!"
"Haha, let's talk about it, are you here to discuss cooperation this time?" Xiao Qi nodded slightly.
"If possible, of course we hope to reach cooperation with Qishao as soon as possible." Now that we have said it, Wang Hong did not hide it, "We know that Qishao has opened up many technology patents to Apple and Samsung. If HTC
If you want to enter the field of smartphones, the patents you have are essential."
Xiao Qi nodded again, "Director Wang, you are right, but do you know that HTC is definitely not the only one who comes to me to open up technology patents. Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson... and other companies, they have already
I've been here before, but I didn't even agree. We're in business, Mr. Wang, why do you think I will open up this technology patent to you?"
Guo Taiming laughed when he heard this.
He had also heard about this matter. Without exception, these mobile phone giants were rejected by Xiao Qi, which aroused countless speculations in the mobile phone industry around the world.
There are a few of the most reliable ones.
First, both Apple and Samsung have to pay high patent licensing fees to Xiao Qi. According to estimates by industry insiders, they are at least between 10 and 20 US dollars per mobile phone.
Of course, it was impossible for mobile phone companies such as Nokia and Motorola to pay Xiao Qi such a large amount of patent licensing fees, so the matter became a stalemate.
The second reason is that Apple and Samsung are both shareholders and partners of the "App Store". The more mobile phones they sell, the more beneficial it will be for the sales of programs and games in the App Store.
Xiao Qi, who owns 90% of the app store shares, certainly hopes to make more money.
After all, it is impossible for companies like Nokia and Motorola to enter the app store. They prefer to develop their own operating platforms and various software and games.
Because they have this confidence, but they are too arrogant, thinking that Xiao Qi's app store is very easy to copy. As long as they rely on their huge global sales volume, they can attract customers to their own app store.
Come.
It's no wonder that Nokia's current shipments in 2007 will reach a terrifying 447 million units. Such a huge base of people makes them quite complacent and disdains any smartphones produced by Apple.
All right.
The topic has gone too far.
Wang Hong and Cheng Wen also knew what Guo Taiming knew, but they still came, which proved that they had the conditions for Xiao Qi to agree.
"Qi Shao, if I open up HTC's shares and give you 5, can you open up the technology patents to us?" Wang Hong said: "And for each HTC phone, I will directly add 50 to whatever Samsung gives you!"
Xiao Qi's eyes moved.
HTC's stock reached 36 billion U.S. dollars at its peak. If Xiao Qi cashed out at 5, it would have been at least 1.8 billion U.S. dollars. This is still pure profit. From the royalties of each mobile phone in the future, Xiao Qi will receive more.
.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Qi refused the temptation without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Director Wang, I can't agree."
"Why?" Wang Hong asked in surprise, "As long as you agree, 1 billion US dollars will be credited to the account. And the more we sell, the more money you will make, won't you?"
"Many times, money is not the main thing." Xiao Qi did not explain, but simply clicked.
"I understand." Wang Hong said seriously, "Qi Shao, do you think HTC will not succeed? So you don't want to deal with us?"
This woman's intuition is really sharp.
Xiao Qi sighed in his heart.
"HTC may be successful, but I will not license any patent to the manufacturers of the Android system." Xiao Qi changed his way of speaking, "Our independent operating system camp and the Android system camp are always enemies.
.Unless Mr. Wang you can find another independent operating system, please forgive me that I can't help."
"What if we have our own operating system?" Suddenly, Cheng Wen interrupted again, "We promise not to join the Android camp, Qishao, can you cooperate with us?"
"oh?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qi's eyes immediately became sharp. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
