Chapter 279 Intellectual Property Dispute
Consumers are worried, entrepreneurs are more worried, and want to communicate with American companies, but with little success.
As American companies, they are naturally willing to charge higher intellectual property fees, and they are too happy to be supported by the US government!
One of the most important ones is Qualcomm. In addition to Hongxin mobile phones, more than half of Huaxia's smart products are equipped with Qualcomm chips, and it is not limited to mobile phones. Other smart products, such as computers, drones, Smart appliances and cars have their smart chips.
A few years ago, Qualcomm's intellectual property fees were higher, and the price was reduced due to the interference of relevant departments in China. Now it seems that they are going to raise it again!
For a time, Qualcomm's stock price went straight up!
The United States, California, San Diego, which is the eighth largest city in the United States, a fairly developed Pacific coast city, and the headquarters of Qualcomm is located here.
In the headquarters building, Tyler Walker is drinking coffee and lying comfortably on the sofa. Opposite him are several senior executives of Qualcomm.
"See? It only takes a little wind, we can turn the situation around, and the stock price will continue to rise!" Tyler Walker laughed.
Although he resigned from the FCC, he is also one of Qualcomm's shareholders.
"This is only a short-term fluctuation, what we want is exact news!" said the executive opposite, "As long as our intellectual property fees in the Huaxia market increase, our annual net profit can increase by more than one billion US dollars!"
"My friends in the Ministry of Commerce have told me that the White House will continue to increase trade pressure on China, and we have some profits!"
Tyler Walker's eyes showed a proud look, how can big capitalists be defeated so easily, and the delivery of their interests is complicated. Red Letter also wants to influence the communication industry in the United States, which is simply a dream!
At the same time, in the research institute of Huaxia Hongxin Electronic Technology, Lu Zixin was checking the latest research results.
"This is a 6G network smart chip developed based on 6G communication technology!" the R&D staff introduced, "In terms of performance, the biggest difference between it and the previous red core chip is that it can adapt to the 6G network and run and process data more efficiently. ."
"It can be said that the performance of smart products that reproduced the Red Core 6G network smart chip will be improved again. With the 6G network, artificial intelligence services will be more convenient and convenient!"
For the 6G network, other performance improvements are trivial, and the most convenient is the artificial intelligence system. With such chips and networks, intelligent voice can become more user-friendly, and information collection and processing can be improved again.
"When the domestic 6G network is all laid out, our smart products will be able to use the latest 6G network smart chips as they are updated, and they are exclusive to China!" said the researcher excitedly.
"Domestic?" Lu Zixin smiled and shook his head, "This is exclusive to the world! If you don't operate it properly, I'm really sorry for our Skynet plan!"
...
At night, at home. Lu Zixin was sitting on the sofa, watching TV. The host of the news channel was reporting on the disagreement between China and the United States on the issue of intellectual property fees.
"Today, the White House spokesperson said that the United States insists on the resolution to increase intellectual property fees and is ready to file a complaint against Huaxia in the International Trade Organization."
"If the cost is really increased, a quarter of the companies in the mobile phone market will starve to death!" Su Zhirong came over with the washed grapes and commented.
She was wearing white short sleeves with a vacuum inside, showing some shapes clearly. The lower body is loose shorts, and the two jade legs stepped directly on the sofa and stacked together, just like stacking tender tofu.
"Here." Su Zhirong used a green onion finger to bring a grape to Lu Zixin's mouth.
"I'm afraid they think too much!" Lu Zixin said while eating, "I want them to not only dare not increase the cost, but also mainly reduce the cost!"
Su Zhirong looked at him curiously and asked, "How?"
Lu Zixin smiled mysteriously and said, "Guess what."
"Do you want to develop the Hongxin mobile phone system?" Su Zhirong guessed, "If the Hongxin mobile phone system is opened, then many domestic manufacturers will use the Hongxin system, which is very important for the operating system and software of the United States. Strike!"
"This is also under consideration, but it's more than that." Lu Zixin said.
Su Zhirong tilted her head, thought for a while, then guessed a few more, Lu Zixin shook his head.
"I hate it, what exactly is it?" Su Zhirong cheated and snatched back the grapes that were brought to Lu Zixin's mouth.
"Chip, 6G network smart chip!" Lu Zixin laughed, "If you can't use Qualcomm's or other company's chips, you can still use our red core chips!"
"Chip?" Su Zhirong's eyes lit up, "The latest chip has been researched? Great, now we have full control of the initiative!"
She thought of something, and immediately took a laptop out of the room and started working.
"It's off-duty time, overtime is prohibited!" Lu Zixin closed his laptop.
"Just a little bit, I'll adjust tomorrow's work!" Su Zhirong wanted to get back the laptop.
"No! Things can never be done, and we have better things to do." Lu Zixin looked at her provocatively.
"But..." Su Zhirong hesitated and looked at him pitifully: "We didn't do it during the day... Isn't your physical fitness a little too good!"
"That's why I want to help you exercise together!"
...
The issue of intellectual property fees is still heating up, and a spokesman for the US Trade Representative's office asked China to abide by the World Trade Organization's "Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement" and asked for consultations.
Domestic companies have felt the crisis even more. In the smartphone industry, some big entrepreneurs are preparing to negotiate together to see if they can get along with some countermeasures to deal with this crisis.
The place of negotiation was in Pengcheng, and those powerful brands and suppliers were invited, and almost the top ten companies in China's mobile phone industry were present.
They quickly ran into a question, should they invite the red letter? It can be said that the Hongxin Group was the least affected by this incident.
But as far as the mobile phone industry is concerned, Hongxin is already a leading domestic company. Without Hongxin's participation, this negotiation meeting seems to be incomplete.
"What do you invite them to do?" Someone expressed an opinion. "The current situation is too favorable for Hongxin. Our costs increase, and Hongxin can further compete for the market. It is useless to invite them."
"I think it is necessary." Tian Xiangshan said, "In the field of core technology, Hongxin Group is the company with the most control among us. If they can cooperate with us, the positive effect will be great."
"Will they?"
