Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Griffin is a veteran of Motorola. He almost grew up watching mobile phones, a new thing at the time.

    Being able to compare Xiao Qi¡¯s DreamPad with the first analog cellular phone, and a witness to the history of that year said that even a young man feels that he should be indifferent to fame and fortune, and there is also a feeling of excitement.

    But now we are in the negotiation field, and Griffin is not a good person. A few compliments want to expose Xiao Qi's true nature as a passionate young man, but that is not enough.

    Nodding, Xiao Qi still smiled and said: "I am honored, thank you for your praise."

    Seeing that his boast failed, Griffin was not discouraged and continued with a smile on his face: "In half an hour, the dinner will start, and I won't mince words. Mr. Xiao, we at Motorola intend to join forces with you.  Let¡¯s create brilliance together, what do you think?¡±

    ?Create brilliance together?

    Are you looking for someone to support you before you die?

    Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart. As soon as the iPhone appeared, Motorola's life would be like Wang Xiaoer's New Year. Every year was worse than the last, and a few years later it ended up being acquired by Google.

    How dare you board a ship with such a company?

    You must run far away to be safe!

    Xiao Qi looked at him sincerely and said: "Mr. Griffin, you also know that the current situation of DreamPad is very good, and I have sufficient funds in my hands. I have no plans to cooperate with other companies. I will definitely wait for the opportunity in the future.  We will cooperate with famous companies like Motorola.¡±

    "Well, you rejected Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. Is this the same reason?" Griffin asked.

    "Yes, but it's not a reason, it's a fact."

    "Mr. Xiao, if you insist on only making tablet computers, I won't say this. But are you really willing to only make tablet computers?"

    "Oh? Mr. Griffin means"

    Although he knew that Xiao Qi was pretending to be stupid, Griffin still ignored him and said seriously: "Tablet computers have ushered in the era of intelligence. This is your great contribution! But no matter how good tablet computers are, they still have inherent fatal flaws! Then  It's just that it's too big to carry around, and it doesn't have suitable communication functions, so it will be at a disadvantage in terms of sales and profits when facing the aggressive IPHONE smartphones, and as it becomes more intelligent.  With the development of electronic products, this gap will become more and more obvious, and it will eventually defeat your efforts! ¡±

    Xiao Qi couldn¡¯t help but nodded.

    Griffin is very smart and saw the inherent disadvantages of tablet computers at a glance.

    In the future, IPHONE will be able to reach sales of 40 million units in a quarter, while the maximum sales volume of the IPAD series in a year is only about 30 million units. The difference between the two is definitely not the slightest bit.

    But who told Xiao Qiwan to be reborn for so many years?

    If he were reborn in 2000, Xiao Qi would definitely choose iPhone without hesitation, but he was reborn in 2005.  IPHONE has already entered the substantial development stage, and he can only choose IPAD.

    But there is one thing Griffin did not expect, that is, the IPAD will definitely make less money than the IPHONE, but this is not the case with the DreamPad.

    Anthony, who stayed in California, was reporting to Xiao Qi on the patent royalty negotiations every day, and now the preliminary results have been roughly finalized.

    After fierce negotiations, with the guiding patent price given by Xiao Qi, Apple used more than 20 patents from Fairy Company, even if it was offset by its own patents.  They also had to pay a patent fee of US$8 for each iPhone to Mingxiang Holdings and Qicai Investment.

    This means that for every iPhone sold, 8 US dollars goes to Xiao Qi.

    With this income alone.  Xiao Qi can make up part of the profit gap with IPHONE, not to mention Xiao Qi has other ways to increase profits.

    Looking at Xiao Qi who seemed to be deep in thought, Griffin struck a chord while the iron was hot: "If Mr. Xiao decides to enter the smartphone industry in the future, we at Motorola will be your best partner! We have the world's largest service system and strong technology.  Strength and strong connections are the ultimate tools to help you thrive in the smartphone industry! ¡±

    Xiao Qi smiled, "With the participation of Motorola. Can we defeat IPHONE?"

    "As long as we work hard, what can't we achieve?" Griffin patted his chest and said, "You have reached a patent interoperability agreement with Apple, and we can freely design new mobile phones. In this regard, Motorola Global Digital  Thousands of design engineers are waiting to serve you! ¡±

    He said it very beautifully, but Xiao Qi was still not tempted at all.

    If it is Nokia, you can consider it. The patents they have accumulated in mobile phones are almost as many as those of Motorola.More than five times that of ?, especially the number of patents on smart phones and touch phones.

    Even in the future, the annual royalties paid to them by Gang Leader Qiao have exceeded Nokia's own mobile phone profit income.

    Not to mention smartphones, it is now tablet computers. When Xiao Qi paid the patent fees for the Dream Chip, part of it was also transferred from ARM to Nokia.

    Broadcom¡¯s wireless chips, half of the patent fees are transferred to Nokia and Ericsson. You can imagine how strong Nokia¡¯s technology patents are.

    As for Motorola

    It¡¯s just a miserable character when it comes to patents.

    So Nokia was still hanging on in 2013, and Motorola was acquired by Google in 2011. The end was very disappointing.

    Looking back at the expectant old man, Xiao Qi couldn't bear it, but he also said: "Mr. Griffin, cooperation is a decision that requires serious consideration. After I go back, I will urge the company's strategy department to seriously consider this.  Proposed, but I can¡¯t give you any guarantees now.¡±

    Griffin couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he saw Xiao Qi's determined expression.

    He has already thought that with Apple¡¯s patent support and his own patent accumulation in the field of smart electronic products, it would be very easy for Xiao Qi to obtain various patent authorizations for mobile phones.

    The reason is very simple. As long as you want to enter the smartphone market, you must obtain Xiao Qi's consent, otherwise the patent will never be passed!

    In order to gain Xiao Qi¡¯s support, Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson and even Motorola themselves must open their patents to Xiao Qi accordingly.

    In this case, what other collaborators does Xiao Qi need?

    You can make your own smartphone!

    "I just didn't expect that when faced with the olive branch offered by such a behemoth as Motorola mobile phone, he, a young man, could be so calm and unmoved at all.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Can even be a genius who even Steve Jobs has to bow down to!
